Run For His Money – working title
Spoilers: Season 7- Fragile Balance
Description: The Duplicate O'Neill comes back to the SGC, aged 30, looking for help. He also sets his sites on Major Carter...
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, much to my dismay, and I am only writing this for fun.
Author's Note: Jack's clone, from what I can tell, never really took a name, that we know of, so I'm gonna make one up, as we can't be calling him 'Jack', it'd get too confusing. If he did take one and I missed it, let me know so I can change mine. Thanks!

Major Samantha Carter briskly walked to the briefing room. If she didn't hurry she would be late, and then she'd never hear the end of it from Colonel Jack O'Neill. Shuffling through her notes about their last mission, Carter did not look up in time to stop herself with colliding into someone. She cursed as her papers went flying.
"Let me help." The person she bumped into said, bending down and picking up some papers. When he handed them to her he smiled warmly. "You should be watching where you're going Carter."
Carter looked up at him. She thought she recognized him, but his face wasn't familiar to her. "Have we met?"
He smiled again, nodding his head. "Briefly."
Carter smiled back in return, then looked at her watch. "I'm late for a briefing, thanks." Carter rushed to the briefing room, her mind on the guy she just ran into. He was cute, a little taller then her, with brown hair and dark brown eyes that seemed to know her. Her mind ran through all the faces she could remember, and nothing came to her memory. He was familiar, but she couldn't place him. Carter apologized as she walked into the briefing room, late, and blushed under O'Neill's curious look.
"You're late Carter." He told her.
"Yes Colonel, I know."
"Why?"
Carter looked at him, annoyed that he was questioning her. "I ran into someone and my papers went everywhere."
O'Neill stared her down, but when General Hammond cleared his throat, he turned to watch the general. "Dr. Jackson, what can you tell me about the planet?"
Carter found her mind wandering during Daniel Jackson's briefing. She usually listened to him, interjected where she could. Mostly, she enjoyed listening to Daniel talk, his smooth voice comforting. Now it just lulled her into a daydream. She kept replaying her accident, hoping that somehow she'd be able to place that man. "Major!" Carter jumped when she heard O'Neill shout her name. She blushed again, feeling her cheeks burn as she tried to figure out what she was asked. "General Hammond asked if you had anything to add?"
"Oh, uh, no." Carter said, trying to avoid O'Neill's scrutinizing eyes. "He pretty much summed it up."
Daniel gave her a blank stare. "Uh, Sam, you may want to tell the general about what you discovered in the soil."
Carter gave Daniel a grateful look as she rummaged through her papers. "Sorry, I'm a bit distracted today."
"Are you ok?" O'Neill asked.
"I'm fine. Just a bit...distracted." She said again. Carter found the paper she was looking for and began to read off the sheet. "So you see, General Hammond, the planet's soil is not completely, for lack of a better term, dead yet. If they irrigate, they will be able to grow crops again. Might take a few years, but I believe, that with our help, we can help these people."
The general nodded, told them he'd send SG-7 in a few days, and then dismissed the team. Carter jumped and tried to leave before O'Neill could talk to her, but that was not to be so.
"Major Carter, are you feeling ill?" Teal'c asked.
Of course Teal'c would ask. He was always concerned for everyone on the team. If they acted abnormal, he noticed and questioned. It took him three months to quit asking her about her mood swings once a month. Carter figured that O'Neill had finally told him about PMS, and that it would be best to stop asking her. Carter had no doubt in her mind that the Jaffa knew her 'schedule' better then she did. Carter turned to him and smiled. "Yes Teal'c, thanks."
He gave her a quizzical look, then he turned to O'Neill. "Teal'c asked if you are feeling ill, and you said yes and thanked him. What's wrong?"
Carter sighed. "I meant to say no. Nothing is wrong. I just got a bit-"
"Distracted. Yes, we know. Now we want to know why." O'Neill asked.
"It's not like you to tone out my talks." Daniel said, walking up to the threesome.
"That's my job." O'Neill said, still looking at Carter.
"What are you guys, my brothers?" She asked, suddenly feeling crowded. "Fine. I ran into a cute guy, he says we've met, but I can't place him." And with that, she gathered her papers and left the briefing room.
Daniel smiled at her as she left. "Well good for her. It's about time she got a love interest."
"She only said he was cute Danny." O'Neill said, running after Carter. He quickly caught up to her and ignored her exasperated sigh. "What's he look like? Maybe I can help place him."
Carter was about to stop and tell O'Neill that she wanted to be left alone when she looked ahead of her and saw General Hammond talking with her guy. Well, he wasn't her guy, yet. Shaking her head of those thoughts, she turned to O'Neill and pointed to the guy. "He looked like that."
O'Neill followed her finger and saw who she was pointing too. "I don't recognize him." O'Neill scrunched his eyes, trying to place the face. "He does look familiar though." Before Carter could stop him, O'Neill was walking up to the general and the mysterious guy. "Hi. I'm Colonel Jack O'Neill." He held out his hand.
The younger man smiled, then shook his hand. "Colonel, I'd like you to met, uh..." General Hammond turned to the guy for his name.
"Jon Niles." The guy smiled.
"Pleased, I'm sure." O'Neill couldn't help it, the guy already annoyed him. To have gotten Carter's attention like he did, O'Neill knew he wouldn't like the guy.
The general looked between the two, striked by their similarities. "Colonel O'Neill, this is...well, he's..." General Hammond had no idea how to tell the colonel who the guy was.
"Duplicate O'Neill." Daniel Jackson said, walking up to the trio.
