[AD 2030]

The lights flicker in the Gate Room. Everywhere she looks there are corpses strewn against the consoles. There is a huge hole where the stargate used to be. Everything they have worked for is over. She stares into the eyes of their last chance to change everything. His once dark hair has turned grey and his posture once a careful slouch has turned painfully straight. He stands in front of a Puddle-Jumper, modified to take him back to a time before everything went wrong.

“It’s for the best.” She wipes away the tears on her face.

He grimaces. “He’d understand.” With that he walks into the ship. He sits in the pilot seat, his hands sweating. He scrunches his eyebrows in thought and then the ship is disappearing.

***

[Present Time]

People begin yelling as a Puddle-Jumper seems to magically appear in the control room. Soldiers appear surrounding the ship. The back opens and a man in tanned pants and a green shirt walks out, hands above his head.

John Sheppard runs down to the ship. He looks at this vaguely familiar face. “Who are you and what are you doing here?”

“I’m you, over twenty years in the future. By the way, where’s McKay?” He keeps his hands in the air.

Rodney McKay moves slowly down the steps. “I’m here. What do you want?”

“Just to say goodbye.” With that he quickly moves his hand down, grabs the gun no one saw him carrying concealed in his pocket, raises the gun and shoots McKay in the head.

The soldiers start to shoot, but he and his ship are already gone. Sheppard runs up the steps and falls to his knees beside McKay, checking his pulse. He is dead.

Holy shit! Why did he do that? You can't leave it without some kind of explanation.
Wow. Rodney must have done something very bad for John to do that. I hope.

See, that's the response I was looking forward. I'm currently working on an explanation, just have to figure out how to present it. Thank you for reading, and I hope enjoying that little shock.
