You had heard about the “nightmare sickness” that was going around Atlantis. You knew it started with Teyla and had spread from there. The most recent person to suffer from it was Major Lorne who threatened to shoot Col. Sheppard to prove he was a replicator and not a human due to his sleepwalking. The whole base was on edge and Major Lorne was locked in the isolation room until it was determined he was no longer a threat to himself, or others and the team could determine if he still had the “nightmare parasite” in his system or not.

Your sleep was broken; you couldn’t tell if it was from the stress of the “nightmare parasite” or just the usual stress of being a part of the Atlantis expedition. You tossed and turned all night, woke up in cold sweats. John had never known you to be so restless in bed, especially when he was next to you. After what felt like several hours of tossing and turning you eventually decided to get up and go for a run to try and tire yourself out, careful not to disturb John’s sleep as you left the bed.

You were sitting in the mess hall with a water after your run to cool off before heading back to your room to shower when you heard John’s voice calling you. He placed a kiss to your head as he sat down next to you, moving his hand from your back to your hand. You sat in silence for a few seconds and then John said something you didn’t expect. He began belittling you, saying the opposite of the supportive things he normally would. Targeting your insecurities. You felt your entire world shatter. Your blood ran cold, your head was spinning.

John was pacing on the observation deck while you were unconscious in the isolation room. Radek had discovered fairly quickly where the parasite had gone after Major Lorne’s outburst and isolated you as soon as possible. Now John watched helpless while you were alone.

John, Sam, Teyla and Ronon were attempting to think of a solution when John asked if Sam had come across anything which allowed someone to enter another’s subconscious. Thing’s moved quickly after that and the next thing John knew he was being hooked up to a machine next to you, promising to help you.

You were crying now, trying to walk away from John while he followed you still tearing you down. You shouted, screamed, pleaded with him to stop. He wouldn’t. He just looked at you with a smirk and continued. Stalking you like a predator.

Stargate: Atlantis; John Sheppard, Rodney Mckay, Ronon Dex, Teyla Amagan Word Count: 444 (T)W: Injury, kidnapping, unable to escape stasis pod Request: Yes. “could you do a stargate Atlantis fanfic that's John sheppard x reader, where both the reader and John get put in stasis pods (like in sga season 2 episode Aurora) and a wraith (that's also in a stasis pod somewhere else on the ship) decides to interrogate the reader and she can't open her stasis pod and leave and John is worried and then when he tells the rest of the team they become worried to. Could it also be slight Ronan x reader as like a brother and sister type, like Ronan looks at reader as a little sister?” – @nightlover15 A/N: Sorry this took so long! I hope this is what you were looking for. GIF credit to the OP

You were tied to a chair in the holding cell by a youngish blonde female, she kept asking the same questions about who you were and how you boarded the ship. You decided to answer with anything other than your name and rank, just as you were taught in survival training. You knew that John and the others would be working on a way to rescue you. You just had to hold on until they could.

“C’mon Rodney, can you get her out of there or not?” John was pacing impatiently in front of the pod you were currently trapped in while listening to your heart-rate increasing on the monitor in front of Rodney. John barely listened to Rodney’s excuses about how he was trying but something something. Truthfully John was trying to work on his own plan for how to get you out. Ronon and Telya were still exploring the rest of the ship, unaware of what was happening at the statis pods.

“That’s it, I’m going back in.” John said as he began to set up the pod he was previously using, ignoring Rodney’s protests. When Ronon and Teyla returned to tell Rodney and John what they had found so far and how they believed there was a Wraith device attached to one of the central consoles. Rodney agreed to look into the device after catching them up on what had happened with yourself and that John had gone back in after you. Ronon immediately went into protective mode and threatening Rodney about what would happen if anything happened to either of you.

John walked through the hallways of the Aurora ship, checking every open doorway for any sign or sound of you. When he was detained by the crew members, he attempted to explain that he was looking for one of his team members and attempted to ask about the statis pods. He was still attempting to argue his case when they threw him in a cell and shut the door behind him. John threw up his hands in exasperation and turned to the bench in the cell. That’s when he noticed that there was someone sitting on the bench, staring at the floor. “Oh, thank God. Why didn’t you get out? McKay couldn’t even disengage your pod,” he knelt down to your level, gently putting a hand on your knee. He could see your burst lip, the bruising making its way around your arms, wrists and cheek. John licked his lips and looked between you and your surroundings. “What happened to you?” He said gently, voice laced with worry and trying to hold back outrage to not make you jump.
