For Asgard
Disclaimer: If you recognise the character then I don't own it, unfortunately:(
Author's notes: I can't stress it enough there aren't enough Marvel/Stargate crossovers or Marvel anything mainstream out there, so here's more of For Asgard. And ok so its now a three part one shot. The coming third part will be the final part.
Summary: SG-1 encounters a powerful woman while evacuating a village under attack by the Ori.
"Well the marines of SG-3 are about ready to start up a religion, with the Lady Sif as their central deity-at least that's what the rumour mill is saying," Daniel stated evenly to General Landry.
"Excuse me?" Landry retorted in surprise.
"No Daniel, they're already worshipping her, and Lt Miller has the plans to build their first alter to her, all they're waiting for is for her stamp of approval," Vala corrected smartly.
"Really?" Daniel exclaimed, "I didn't think that things had progressed that far."
"I'm surprised you hadn't heard yet," Vala remarked.
"Just a second! People, are you telling me that she's setting up a religion and corrupting my officers, right under my nose!" thundered Landry in angry surprise.
"Actually...she's not doing anything much of anything, in fact she's asked not to be worshipped at all,," Daniel explained quickly.
Landry frowned in confusion, "But she still claims to be a goddess, correct?"
"Yes. Its a conundrum, she says she's a goddess and yet asks for no worshippers or followers," Daniel explained, "In point of fact the only thing that she has asked for is for a way home..."
"Then why do SG-3 want to worship her?" Landry questioned.
"Well we were talking in the mess hall and they overheard us. She was talking about what Asgardians consider a normal day in her Asgard, at least back in its heyday."
"And?" Landry prompted.
"Basically..." Daniel began.
"...its glorious battle all day long followed by wild out of control drunken XXX rated keggers all night long, then Rinse repeat- ad infinitum."
"In other words, its a marine's wet dream come true," Vala clarified unnecessarily.
Landry frowned at Vala, "Thank you for that colourful metaphor. Heh, that aside have any of you anything else to report? Do we know anything else about her? Jackson Carter?"
"Well I'm pretty sure she's from another dimension, " Daniel stated quickly.
"How did you come to that conclusion?" Landry asked.
"Well for one thing, the Earth or Midgard she describes differs in many fundamental ways from our Earth. No Goa'uld, Ancients or most other aliens we've encountered. Also no stargates. Yes there are many similar historical points of reference but most events diverge a few years before World War II. " Daniel explained.
"You're losing me, give me a few specifics, " Landry ordered.
Daniel paused for a second collecting his thoughts, "For one...Atlantis. In her world it wasn't a Alteran cityship, it was a a powerful city that sank beneath the oceans, but that wasn't the end of Atlantean civilisation. Somehow their people evolved into water breathers,. Atlantis still exists as a civilisation in her world, side by side with the countries we are all familiar with. Albeit they're a semi-hidden civilisation, with a history-recent history of skirmishes with America and several other countries of the world.
Landry blinked in surprise, "You're kidding!"
"Actually if everything Sif says is true that there are actually several different species coexisting together on her Earth; Humans, of course, then Homo Superior aka Mutants, Atlanteans, Inhumans, Eternals, and Deviants just to name a few of the most well known."
Landry's jaw dropped in surprise, "That's impossible! Where did all these species come from?"
Daniel shrugged nonchalantly, "Some are offshoots, parallel developments of evolution. Mutants, are said to be the next step in human evolution. The Inhumans are a group of humans whose ancestors were genetically altered by an alien race known as the Kree-and yes I know the irony of that," he added quickly forestalling any of Vala's colourful comments, "as for the Eternals and Deviants, they're two two separate race that pre-date humanity."
"Eternals?" That's an awe inspiring name," commented Mitchell.
"It's also a descriptive one, Eternals as in Immortals. They cannot die, but neither can they reproduce," Daniel explained, his voice filled with respect and disbelief.
Landry fought through his shock and disbelief to raise both his arms and forestall any more comments. "This is all very interesting and enlightening but is of absolutely no use to us in how to deal with the this Sif, plus I'm guessing you've already written up a full report with all of these incredible details."
Daniel smiled sheepishly and nodded his head, "That and more as well." he admitted.
"Carter? You've been uncharacteristically silent," Landry commented.
Carter shrugged, "Myself and Dr Lam have been studying her, we have discovered quite a few anomalies and many of our tests have had astounding results, but as you said General most of this is academic and nothing pertains to how we can help her get back to her world."
Landry nodded, "Can you summarise using small words and short sentences? What is she?"
"I don't know. She's not human or has any genetic relation to humanity but that's about it. Her strength and reflexes are off the scale and she's a very hardy individual," Carter started. "Based on our measurements she could-probably withstand a blast from a Goa'uld ship based plasma canon."
"I'm sorry what?!" Cam cut in quickly after Carter's unbelievable pronouncement.
"I'll second that what! And add a that's impossible!" Vala remarked in disbelief.
"Sam, how the heck do you measure something like that? And what is it that you measure?" Cam asked still shocked.
Instead of immediately answering Carter started to fidget in her seat, "Uh..it was all very complicated, with uh scientific...stuff involved," she stammered without looking at any of them.
"I'm sorry Sam, scientific stuff? I think you've been hanging out with Jack too much," Daniel quipped humorously.
Landry gave her a shrewd look, "Colonel, how exactly did you and Dr Lam test for this sort of thing?"
"Uh, we...shot her a couple of times with a Jaffa staff at first..." Carter trailed off as everyone turned to stare at her in disbelief.
"I'm sorry Colonel I could have sworn you said you shot the Lady Sif with a Jaffa staff?" Landry asked as if he could not believe his ears.
"I did sir," was Carter's succinct reply.
"You know Sam I think you've finally crossed over from brilliant scientist territory into Mad scientist territory..." Daniel remarked in a deadpan.
Carter smiled depreciatingly, "Well we know she could take a blast from an Ori staff so we started off shooting her a few times with Wraith stunners and then graduated to a Jaffa staff then Ori staff, P-90s , a .50 cal, a few heavier weapons until finally we used a Staff canon we took off a Goa'uld deathglider."
The gathered members of SG-1 and General Landry gaped at her in disbelief.
"...Nothing affected her, her clothes were a little worse for ware afterwards but only the Staff canon drove her back a few steps," Carter continued on as if what she was saying was the most normal of all announcements.
"Wait a sec, on the planet didn't the Ori staff knock her off her feet? I distinctly remember that happening!" Daniel exclaimed.
"I talked to her about that, the only reason that happened was because the Ori warrior caught her off guard," Sam explained simply.
Daniel sat back, "Oh..."
"We're going to have to have a talk after this meeting," Landry said ominously.
"Yes sir," Carter replied quietly.
Landry sighed, "Does anybody else have anything else to add?"
SG-1 shared a glance before shaking their heads.
Landry frowned just now noticing their missing member, "Uh...where's Teal'c?"
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Sounds returned slowly to Teal'c, his eyes opened and he squinted as light assaulted his eyes. He tried to sit up and groaned as punished muscles resisted his desired movements.
"I warned thee of this," Sif said sagely as she stood at his bedside.
Teal'c slowly turned to face her, "You have nothing to apologize for. I asked you not to hold back while we were sparring. Truly you are a warrior of unparalleled skill and power."
Sif smiled at him, "Thou art a warrior born as well. Few enhanced mortals have I know with your skill in battle."
"You honour me," Teal'c replied.
He managed to sit up in the bed he sat in the infirmary, collecting his thoughts as the last memories before he lost consciousness. They had been sparring, he'd been testing her, on and on for several hours and then he'd realised she had been toying with him. He'd asked her not to hold back and she'd warned him that for all his skill he was not a match for her-but he had insisted.
She had acquiesced and then she'd moved faster than he thought possible and seconds later the world had grown dark.
Teal'c paused for a second, "I know of many Jaffa who would be honoured to meet you. If General Landry permits perhaps you would like to accompany me to one the offworld Free Jaffa Nation camps? Many would be honoured to learn from you."
Sif nodded her head sagely, "It would be mine honour to aid your people."
