The prophecy.
Future Fic.
Spoilers for everything including the movies.
"The prophecy has not been fulfilled therefore everyone and everything we ever knew is coming to an end."
"What prophecy Thor?" asked a concerned General Cam Mitchell.
"A great prophecy told generation after generation to the Asgard. I did not, however, realize I had found the answer until it was too late."
"First of all, what's the prophecy and second of all what's the answer?" inquired an extremely concerned Mitchell. It had been years since a major threat had been seen in the Milky Way. All the way back, to his days on SG-1.
"The prophecy said 'the children of the two most noble and brave warriors will be your answer. The children are the key to everything, but there parents do not know and will not have the children. It is up to you to change history in order to get these children.' That is paraphrased General Mitchell, however, that is basically what I was told."
"So who's the answer? I mean those are pretty vague instructions." A confused Mitchell responded.
"I strongly believe that the prophecy speaks of General O'Neill and Colonel Carter."
"You do know that Colonel Carter was killed in action a few years ago? And that General O'Neill hasn't been heard from since?"
"Yes, I am aware of both events. For that reason, we must change the timeline."
"Change the Timeline? You can't do that. Do you really have the right? Depending on where you change the time line the Go'auld or the Ori may never have been defeated. I mean do you think Sam and General O'Neill really wanted to get married and have children. Not only that, but for the purpose of saving the galaxy."
"I understand your hesitancy, however, I do not need your help but I would greatly appreciate it. I watched them for many years. I am unsure at what point in history to change the timeline."
"If you do, it should be after there time on SG-1. They are each vital members of team and history will have an extremely different out come if either leave early in order to pursue a relationship of any nature outside the Air Force," Mitchell responded. He was going to help Thor with this mission. He had to. It was, of course, in order to save the planet from another threat. He hoped that Sam and General O'Neill would forgive him for this. Playing with their lives; hadn't they sacrificed enough? Maybe they really were in love and had never had the opportunity of marriage and children. Then again, that was a long shot.
"Should we interfere with the timeline after the extraction of the last Baal clone?"
"That may work. We went to lunch that day. General O'Neill announced that jobs were switching and he was considering retirement. If you interfere, if only a few minutes before, with General O'Neill and convince him to retire, you'd have a starting point."
"General Mitchell, would you like to be the one to go back to that date and convince General O'Neill of everything?"
"Well I don't have a time machine…"
"That has been taken care of. I have spent many years working on a solution after I realized my mistake."
"Oh, good, some more time travel. Haven't I messed with it enough? You know we don't have the right to do this? It could change more than just their individual lives. What if Sam never went on the mission that she was killed on, saving thousands of lives? How many other people's lives would be changed?"
"In the grand scheme of things, there child will make all the difference in the world, General Mitchell."
"Why there kid? I mean there are millions upon millions of children on Earth and many other planets that could do the job you are asking for, right?"
"No I'm afraid not. Were looking for some so particular."
"Wait how do you know we're going back to the right time. Depending on when they get pregnant they would be having a different child at a different point. How do we know I'm going back to the right time so they have the child in the prophecy?"
"That is one question I do no know how to answer." Thor regretfully responded, "However, I'm ready with the machine when you are."
"Where is it? In orbit, we shall beam up there in order to change it to the date in which you want to go back."
"Ok, I'm ready."
