Disclaimer: I bet you know this already, but I don't own Stargate SG-1.

Gee, what gave me away?

AN: Jack thinks about Sam. No particular season, but inspired by the

episodes when the SG team was literally in hell, so maybe around then. Or

not. *shrugs*

She's so Different

By: Lioness Blackfire

I've been noticing more and more often lately how completely

different Sam is from us... especially me. Almost once a day she'll go off

on some tangent about nanoparticles and space-time continuums leaving me

completely in the dark. Every time she does something like that I feel

so... separated from her.

It's a place she goes where I can't follow.

I don't think she even means to. It's a simple habit of thinking

out loud. I do it all the time! ... Think out loud, that is.

Ugh, and sometimes it's not even her fault, like when that Tok'ra

guy put a memory thing on her so she'd remember how Jolinar escaped from

hell. Her first reaction after it was activated was a long silence,

staring at nothing, and then she started crying. I wanted to just smack

that Tok'ra upside the head and comfort her. But no, it was for a good

cause!

Bullshit! And excuse me, while saving Dad is a perfectly good

reason to bring up bad memories, you'd think that at least there would be

a kinder way to do it! She obviously didn't need to remember... whatever

it is that she remembered then, but she did!

That's not to mention some of the bizarre experiences I know

she's had! Being possessed by Jolinar, having to deal with all the stuff

Jolinar did, being the only one of us able to use Gou'ald technology,

being turned into a "drone" for the Gou'ald hanging out here on earth,

killing him later, and to top it all off - getting stuck with a dying me

in antarctica.

She's done that and much, much more, yet... you'll hardly ever

hear her talk about it. She tends to keep it inside.

Poor Sam. She's so different.
