Daniel stared down, "Jack?" There was a bright flash around Jack and then he was gone. Daniel felt a flash of light on his back and he quickly swerved around to look. Standing behind him was Jack and Sam, both wearing confused yet serious looks on their faces.
There was a long, long silence before Jack asked a single question, "What's going on?"
"Jack?" Daniel asked after another long deafening silence.
"Yes?"
"What's going on?" Daniel repeated.
"I don't know that's what I asked."
"Sam?" Sam looked at her husband.
"Yes?"
"Is this real, or is this just a dream?"
Sam looked to Jack and then back at him. "I don't know." Her eyes began to wander around the people assembled. They were here for a reason. A funeral it appeared. Who died? She asked herself.
"Sam…" Sam looked to her brother. He was standing beside her husband and he was holding back tears.
"It's okay…" Suddenly he ran for her and she felt him hold her tightly.
"Don't leave me like that again, Sam, don't leave me."
Sam was too shocked to even hug him back. "Mark… Mark what is going on?"
"Sam you died, you died but you came back. Oh God don't leave again!" He barely whispered through his tears. Sam shot a quick glance at Jack who shrugged. Sam hugged Mark back until he finally released her. Soon everyone began feeling their shock wear off and then they were all over Sam. They were crying and smiling and just plain grateful.
Jack backed off and gave Sam room. Suddenly Daniel was by his side. "So what's going on?"
"Well all I know is that Loki is up to his odd tricks again."
"Loki?"
"Yep. He's been keeping Sam and me captive for the last week or so."
Daniel looked at Jack surprised. "So the whole graveyard thing wasn't you?"
"What graveyard thing? Oh… right… Well kinda."
"Kinda?" Daniel asked.
"Yeah well I have the memory of it, but I wasn't really there, you know?"
"No I don't know."
"Ah, well then maybe Sam can explain it."
"It's Sam now?"
"That is her name isn't it?"
"It is indeed." Teal'c said, suddenly behind Daniel and Jack.
"Yeah, well, I have never known Jack to say her first name like that before." Daniel pressed.
"Really? I'm sure I've said it plenty of times before." Jack said scratching his head.
"No, not really, you usually call her Carter."
Jack merely shrugged and then Sam reappeared. "Sir, I think we should return to the base."
"I agree, Carter. Too many people here and not enough quiet. Besides there is too much explaining to be done with out a hundred or so people constantly interrupting."
Sam smiled and Daniel led them to his car. Before they knew it Jack and Sam were sitting on one end of the briefing table while Daniel, Teal'c, and Landry were sitting opposite.
"So what happened?" Landry started.
"Well," Sam began. "Loki is apparently continuing his research and kidnapped General O'Neill and I about a week ago to do it. As far as we are concerned we have been sleeping for the week and possibly longer if Thor hadn't shown up to stop Loki."
"Exactly." Added Jack. "Now your turn."
Daniel nodded. "Okay, this week was a normal SGC week until Jack, or other Jack randomly called us up and asked us out to a night at the cemetery. We were having a pretty good time actually right up until when Sam's husband showed up all angry. They took off and we all went our separate ways."
"For the period of a day, when we returned to find O'Neill at the cemetery and alert him of your suicide." Teal'c added
"I committed suicide?" Sam asked and then suddenly her face changed like she realized something. "Oh yeah I did." Landry, Daniel and Teal'c all exchange a glance. Sam smiled embarrassed and went to explain. "Even though we were asleep, we remember our clone's memories."
"Hold on a second, Jack can't have a clone properly mature to the right age because of his gene right?" Landry asked.
"Yeah well Loki found a way around that." Jack answered aggravated.
"So what experiment was Loki working on?" Daniel asked.
"Tad random dontcha think?" Jack asked.
"No, I don't"
Sam held up a hand to stop Jack from arguing. "Well we're not exactly sure. It seemed to have nothing to do with human genes helping the Asgard with genetic degration."
"Really?"
"What ever it was, Thor was pissed!" Jack added with excitement. "I have never seen the little guy so angry. Actually it was kinda scary."
"Well…" Landry began, but he was interrupted by a flash of light and the entrance of Thor.
"Thor! It's been awhile!" Jack said happily.
"My apologies, O'Neill, to you and Samantha Carter."
"Oh no problem, you can save us any day. But just so you know this doesn't redeem any of the big favors we've done for you."
'That is not why I am apologizing." Thor said calmly.
"Why are you apologizing?" Sam asked. Thor looked sadly at Sam, or at least in an expression Sam might believe to be sad.
"I am sorry I was too late…"
