Rough Justice

A/N: warning: rape reference

When Marchant's body was found swinging from a beam outside the mess hall with a sign that said "RAPIST" pinned to his uniform, all of Atlantis’ men knew better than to say anything.

Not while all of the expedition's women were still armed.

Not while their anger ran so high that the air crackled with it.

And especially not while Miko’s broken and bruised body still lay in the infirmary, recovering from the attack that nearly took her life.

Marchant's body was given to the sea and every man stepped quietly lest they roused the lionesses in their midst.
