Chapter 4: Unexpected

"She speaks," said Teal'C, stating the obvious. The humanoid, Angelus with her big chocolate brown eyes looked up at Teal'C. Her lip trembled as she repeated,

"S-she s-sp-peaks."

Jackson spoke to Angelus,

"Angelus, do you understand what I am saying to you?"

She turned her eyes on towards Jackson. Her face was full of concentration, as though she was studying what Jackson had said to her. She mumbled her name again.

"At least she's not silent," pointed out O'Neill.

Jackson inclined his head at O'Neill. "Jack."

"What Daniel?" O'Neill attempted to sound innocent.

Jackson turned his attention to Angelus.

"Its like she's trying to download everything into her brain. Like her mind is somehow more advanced than ours."

"Advanced like Angelus," Angelus said to Jackson.

Dr. Frasier turned her head to Jackson.

"Daniel, do you think she, Angelus can understand us?" Dr. Frasier asked Jackson.

"I think it's possible. And the problem is she doesn't know enough to speak back to us."

Angelus mumbled,

"Knows enough."

Teal'C had an amused look on his face. "Perhaps Angelus," Teal'C said.

A corner of her mouth flickered, the beginnings of a smile. Dr. Frasier got closer to Angelus.

"Angelus, are you feeling any pain? Weakness? Drowsy?" Dr. Frasier was pouring the medical questions on Angelus. Angelus pointed to her arm, which was where an I.V. was stuck up in her arm.

"Pain," said Angelus, continuing to point to her right arm. "Pain."

Dr. Frasier nodded sympathetically as she pulled a strand of Angeles's hair back behind her ear.

"I know it must hurt, but we have to keep that in there for now. When Daniel found you, you were very dehydrated. Hey, I bet you'll feel better in a few days," said Dr. Frasier, smiling at Angelus.

Angelus lay back on her pillow, staring at the ceiling with a blank expression on her face. She turned her attention back to Teal'C.

"Who?" She asked him.

Teal'C replied,

"My name is Teal'C."

Angelus looked to SG-1 and Dr. Frasier.

"Who?" Angelus said again.

Carter pointed out to everyone. As she said each name she pointed to the person.

"This is Janet."

"-Jack."

"-Daniel."

"-and my name is Sam."

Angelus nodded. She then closed her eyes and immediately fell asleep.

Briefing Room

"So what do you propose that we do with . . . Angelus once she is released from the infirmary?" asked General Hammond.

"Right now sir, I think we should focus on figuring out her history before we-"but Dr. Frasier was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Harry Maybourne standing in the doorway.

Notes:

Sorry it has been so long and the chapter is so short!

But I have been trying to figure what to do for the next few chapters!

Question: How would Teal'C connect with Angelus?
