Emotional Fallout

AUTHOR: Spacemonkey766

RATING: PG13

CATEGORY: angst, hurt/comfort, missing scene

DISCLAIMER: All characters in this story belong to MGM, World Gekko Corp and Double Secret productions. I wrote this because I could. I'm not making money on this and I did this for people like me who cannot get enough SG-1 when the episodes are over.

CONTENT WARNINGS: the rating is for language, the f word is used, amongst others

SPOILERS: Season 7 – Fallout, references to Meridian, Revelations, my other story

SUMMARY: With the SGC helping Langaria, tension rises between the boys of SG1 due to some unresolved issues.

AUTHOR NOTE: Jack swears 'em big….They didn't deal with this issue in the show so I did it for them. There is actual dialogue in this from the episode. The dialogue is in italics. I don't apologize for the language. I use Jack to convey my own feelings toward the things of that planet…I hate that planet.

FURTHER INFORMATION: There's a prequel to follow in regards to a statement Jack makes to Daniel in the story about a conversation they had other than Abyss and Full Circle. I wrote this first and intend on writing that conversation.

"I say we send 'em packing," Jack said, storming toward the elevator.

"Indeed," Teal'c was right in stride with Jack. Both men were angry, although one hid it better than the other.

"We can't give up on them yet. We still have the potential to save thousands of lives here," Daniel protested, following closely behind.

"And yet curiously, they don't seem to understand or care." And neither did Jack.

"This is diplomacy; this is the way the game is played. It takes patience," Daniel tried his hardest to justify the events unfolding.

"Yea? Well I'm fresh out."

"As am I," Teal'c agreed as he and Jack entered the elevator.

"I think you're on your own," Jack declared as the doors closed, leaving an angry Daniel behind. He turned and walked away.

'Damn him.' The man was impossible. Daniel was angry that Jack, and even Teal'c, refused to help him out on this one. If Sam was here at least it would be two on two. But Jack was right; he was on his own. And he hated it.

"Daniel Jackson, may I speak with you privately," Teal'c asked after exiting the gateroom. He had just returned from his mission to obtain the crystals.

"Sure Teal'c. What's up?" Daniel asked as he and Teal'c roamed the halls of the SGC.

"I wish to apologize for my discourtesy towards you before and for my lack of assistance with you on the present situation with Langaria."

"Teal'c, its fine. I get it."

"I fear you do not 'get it', Daniel Jackson. With the exception of Jonas Quinn, I am most displeased with the people of that planet for obvious reasons. I let that impair my duties to you. I wish to assist you in any way possible." Teal'c bowed his head in the traditional Jaffa manner.

"Well, thank you Teal'c. I appreciate it." Daniel smiled at his friend, then sighed. "At least you're talking to me. Jack has been avoiding me since our last conversation."

"Daniel," using the young man's first name to imply the intimacy of the situation, "your death was ultimately a result of the Kelownan device. To see you helping the very people who are responsible for your death is painful to O'Neill, as well as the rest of us. You do not understand the whole of the situation. I believe you should seek out O'Neill and discuss the manner with him."

"Ya think?" Daniel joked, stealing one of their friend's favorite lines.

"Indeed."

"Thanks Teal'c…for everything," Daniel said, patting his friend on the arm affectionately before beginning his search for the SG1 leader.

"Whenever you need me my friend," Teal'c spoke softly to the departed man.
