Author's note: This is in no way a single, cohesive story. Rather it's a collection of scenes, in no particular order, that all take place in the same universe. Some scenes will cross two or more shows with Highlander, and some only one, but they all deal with certain characters being Immortal.

Updates will be sporadic but hopefully often. Enjoy!


Note for this scene: In this universe, Janet did not die in Heroes because Daniel, being immortal, threw himself over her and saved her life.


"Joe, we have to find him a new Watcher."

Janet leaned back in her chair, holding the phone between her shoulder and her ear, fingers furiously working the keyboard in front of her as she listened to the man on the other end of the line.

"Yes, of course I mean it. You know the top secret stuff I'm involved in; if he's joining the project we need to find someone with clearance to Watch him. I certainly won't be able to, it's difficult enough keeping up with Daniel."

She sifted through personnel files, trying to find a likely candidate.

"There aren't any current Watchers who fit the bill, are there? ….Yeah, wishful thinking. So we're going to have to recruit."

She paused at the record of Dr. Weir, considering, before continuing. Elizabeth would have enough to think about without having to watch an errant Immortal. She sifted through the next few files before hitting upon one that fit.

"Here, Joe. Dr. Carson Beckett, the base's chief physician. I believe he's already friends with our old man. And in a military situation like this, having the Doc be his Watcher may be the best way to go. You know, in case a cover-up is needed. You know how many times I've had to fake Daniel's records."

She smiled as the voice on the line agreed with her.

"Yeah, I'll take care of it. Alright. Thanks, Joe."

She turned to hang the phone up and realized Daniel was standing in the doorway.

"Oh. Hi, Daniel."

"Finding a hound for Riorden?" Daniel asked. Janet made a face at her charge's name for members of her organization and nodded. "Why? It's not likely he's gonna get his head taken in Antarctica."

"If there's any chance at all that they're going to Atlantis, we need someone there to help keep his secret. And, well…we don't know what's out there. You of all people should understand that anything can happen." She waved her hand in the general direction of up.

Daniel nodded. "I hope Jack lets me go."

"He won't."

"I know." Daniel sighed. "But I can always hope." He stared at the floor, deep in thought, before abruptly turning and leaving.

Janet shook her head. Moments like that were the only reminders she had that Dr. Daniel Jackson was much more than the young, enthusiastic linguist the rest of the base knew him to be.

Janet closed down the database window, opened the word processor, and began composing the e-mail that would change Beckett's life.

Rodney McKay is not what he appears to be.
