Being the younger sister of the Major was never easy but knowing that you would have to work with the insufferable Dr. Rodney McKay, that was a deal-breaker. You and McKay had never gotten on. You thought he was an arrogant, self-righteous, know-it-all who believed that a woman could never be as intelligent as he was, and he believed that you were, essentially, a child and not worth giving the respect you had earned and expected. It was the main reason that you had refused to go to Atlantis expedition and join your brothers team. You had known about and had been a part of the Stargate programme a few years longer than your brother and had worked with O’Neil’s team a few times within your time at the Stargate programme, mostly because your field (out with the air force) was linguistics and ancient Greek/Roman, Norse and Egyptian civilisations and history (yes you were aware than O’Neil and even McKay believed you to be a female Jackson).

You were excited about the prospect of actually going to the lost city of Atlantis. It had been a dream of yours since you had learned about it at school. A whole city and civilisation believed to have been lost to the sea, with no sign of its ever being there. The mystery had haunted you since your lesson on it. The idea that the Ancients literally moved an entire city off Earth, made more sense that the sea swallowing the city whole with zero traces. When you had learned they were putting together a team, you immediately volunteered. Then you discovered your brother had been approached to be a team leader on the expedition (after he accidentally set of a piece of machinery the Ancients had left on Earth) and you were a bit more excited, it would be nice to spend time with your brother and not have to be deceptive about your role in the Stargate programme, he finally had the clearance for you to talk openly about it. Then you heard that McKay had confirmed he was going to join the expedition and your excitement faded almost instantly. Your brother, O’Neil and the current expedition leader (Weir you believed her name was), all tried to convince you to join as they would need a translator and someone who would have a better idea on how to communicate with anyone who was currently residing in Atlantis or the surrounding area. You were adamant that you could not work with McKay and opted to stay behind. Even Daniel tried to convince you to go.

Roughly one year after your brother had gone to Atlantis you were in your office doing some research for an assignment which was coming up. You were lost in your books and didn’t hear the knock on your door. You almost jumped 10 feet in the air when someone cleared their throat, rather obnoxiously loudly, in your office. After you had recovered you saw O’Neil standing there, smug look on his face like he enjoyed the momentary fear in your eyes. You looked at him, one hand still over your beating heart and the other planted firmly on the edge of your desk. “Geez Jack, you nearly gave me a heart attack, Is everything okay sir?” He smirked at you and gestured to the seat on the other side of your desk, you nodded for him to take it, he almost flopped down on it, still smirking at you. “Sir, I have to say, the staring and smirking is starting to make me uncomfortable.” You said nervously, trying desperately to look at something else, anything else that would break the eye contact. His smile grew wider and goofier at that response. Eventually he stopped torturing you, “Well missy, I have some news for you,” he leaned forward in his chair a bit, “and keep in mind, that this time it’s an order, not a request.” You looked at him and leaned forward yourself, “Sir?”, O’Neil, sat back a bit and rested one elbow on an arm of the chair and sat his chin in it, “You’re going to Atlantis.” You looked at him in stunned silence. He smirked at you again and left your office, thoroughly pleased with himself and the fact that he managed to tell you something that you were too busy computing to argue with.

The next scheduled departure for the Atlantis expedition was a month after the colonel had given you the news you were being shipped off to Atlantis, you packed the essentials and mentally prepared yourself, all your appeals for the mission had been denied, very quickly, and you could just feel the dread of being stuck on a limited building with McKay. You left with Major Lorne’s team for Atlantis, you were nervous about relocating to Atlantis permanently, and the thought of working alongside McKay was killing you, Lorne saw your unease and tried to comfort you, “First time going through the gate huh? It’s easy, a little cold, but breathe out as your exiting and it’ll be okay, I’m here for support if your need it.” You smiled a little at the sentiment before responding, “As much as that’s appreciated, this is far from my first time going through the gate, I’m more dreading the other side if I’m honest.” You gave a small laugh at the end, trying to show you weren’t annoyed or offended by his sentiment and words. You looked ahead at the sound of the Stargate starting up and took a deep breath. Lorne put his hand on your shoulder, “If you need someone to help you escape, just shout.” You smiled and thanked him, you knew he intentionally spoke a bit quieter than his initial attempt to speak with you and you appreciated that more than either of you realised.
