Thanks: Thanks to Michael for the title on this one!

Jack O'Neill woke suddenly in the dead of night.
At first, he wasn't sure what had startled him awake, and he began to sit up in his bed.
Suddenly, a throbbing pain in his hand rudely reminded him why he hadn't been sleeping well for two days.
He looked down at the offending appendage and grinned, despite the pain.
By some strange miracle, Doc Fraiser hadn't noticed it, and Jack had conveniently 'forgotten' to mention it during his post mission physical after his return from Apophis' ship.
It was a small victory in the battle of O'Neill versus Fraiser, and while normally Jack would've been tickled pink to have slipped something past his favorite Napoleon, this was a dubious win, and he knew it.
The two semi-circular bruises on either side of Jack's hand, complete with four small puncture wounds each, hurt like hell and Jack knew from experience that the antibiotics he didn't have would've helped a ton with wounds like his.
Wounds like his meaning human bite wounds, of course.
Jack's grin got wider, and his eyes began to sparkle mischievously in the dark.
He did indeed like his 2IC's attitude.
Oh, yeah... he liked it a lot.
