A/N: A little one shot that came to me in the midst of all the work stress. Inspired by Compromise by LSgrimm91 and Sanctuary's the Depth (S04E11). Please let me know what you think =D

"I can't!" Sam exclaimed loudly.

"Carter!" Jack yelled.

"I won't!"

"You have to! There's no other way!"

"I won't… I… no… no way!"

"Come on. It's going to be dark soon. We have to hurry."

"Go. Just go!"

"I'm not leaving you!"

"There's no way I'm getting out of there."

"Carter! Just close your eyes and do it!"

"No!"

"I'm right here. I'll do it with you, on the count of three."

"No!"

"One."

"Never."

"Two."

"Sir! I can't do it."

"Sam…"

"I'm… I'm sorry."

"Well, then you won't have to."

"Sir?"

"I'm going to do it. And you'll just come with me."

"No!"

"Sam…"

"But…"

"No buts. Do you trust me?"

"What?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Of course I do."

"Then, close your eyes."

"Sir…"

"Close your eyes."

She complied.

And with that Jack wrapped his arms around Sam and jumped off the cliff with her. And just as their bodies were about to hit the ground, the sensors of the Prometheus could finally pick their signals up and teleport them on board.

"So, you can push away into the vacuum of space but you can't get yourself to free fall on the land."

"I'm… I've got a thing against feeling helpless. Unless..."

"Unless when it comes to space."

"And…"

"And?"

"And you, apparently. Sir."

"And it's good that way. Because I've always got your back. You're…"

"I know, sir. And sir…"

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

"No Carter. Thank you." And with that Jack walked away. Baring a look on his face that Sam was all to familiar with: The look after he got stuck in the time loop. Their look.
