Ian Edgerton's SGA past

Jeannieverse or ABM, which honestly are kind of the same verse without a set canon.

Set pre-return to Earth. John and Rodney are MIA and Jeannie winds up back on Earth with Dave Sheppard (and family, if he has one). They're totally baffled by Jeannie, but it doesn't matter much because they get kidnapped, with Jeannie as witness. So, since they're in LA and it's a high-profile kidnapping, the FBI takes the case and Jeannie ends up with the Numb3rs team. When she encounters Ian Edgerton, she glomps onto him and he acts friendly and clearly knows her already, acting somewhat contrary to the badass image. He used to be in Atlantis, and one of the people on the rotation of babysitters, not that he would volunteer that information. Somewhere in there, the Numb3rs team finds out about her intelligence, and Larry/Charlie/Amita recognize(s) the name Rodney McKay. The case is solved. Possibly Ian makes a few calls and becomes Jeannie's guardian. In the end, either she stays with Ian or John and Rodney show up, back from being MIA and worse for the wear but not permanently worse. I think I like the staying with Ian, but that would be AU for both of the verses.

All ideas are free for the taking.
