4. little ole' me
The couple beamed down straight into his office. Jack being the gentleman held out the chair for Buffy, before sitting in his own. He just wanted to take a moment of calm, knowing with his job it wouldn't last.
"Walter!" The unflappable aide was in shock at seeing the general with the beautiful blonde.
"Yes sir."
Jack smiled now, "I need the spousal paperwork for me and SG1. I also need the paperwork to raise security clearance for three people."
The President may have given permission but they had to actually make it happen. The paperwork and the NDA's were a bitch.
Walter's face betrayed his confusion, "Why only three sir?"
The blonde finally spoke up, "I already have the security clearance."
Jack was enjoying seeing his aide tongue tied, "If you'd be able to call the canteen. I think my wife is about to go into caffeine withdrawal. Word of warning tell them to make it Jackson strong."
Jack was trying to figure out how to work them into the SGC, "How do I work this? I mean there are rules in place."
Buffy snorted, "Okay why not make Faith and me a specialist team. Willow could work in either Science or language department. Xander would be language."
He gave her a small grin, an idea forming. "I think you can be SG - Slayer. It has a ring to it. Though it would be better if you answer to Hammond."
They completed the work trading jokes back and forth. She knew she needed to be here whether a secret military organisation or not. When you whittled everything down (no pun intended) they fought against evil. Which is what she did.
The paperwork was going to take awhile so he decided to give her a tour of the place. The staff were all curious at who the mysterious blonde was in the company of the general. Jack and Buffy made it to the canteen and sat enjoying a dinner together.
As she took a bite to eat, "So your saying no one can kill Anubis?"
Jack shrugged it off as he couldn't give an answer. "No one knows it just seems that he is hard to kill."
She smirked, "I bet I can take him."
He thought back to their conversation and started to laugh, "I can see it now Anubis' head rolls. Too bad he pissed off the slayer Queen."
She gave him a flirtatious smile, "Oh he's on the shit list. He's tried too destroy Earth one too many times. Plus if there is one thing that a bad guy should learn is to stay away from my man."
Jack had an image flash through his head of introducing Baal and Buffy. In fact he knew the image would amuse him for days. Their fun due to the call of paperwork. Jack was gracious, "Well honey as I have to do boring paperwork which I won't inflict upon you. Walter here will give you a tour of the base,"
She bit her lip and pouted a little, "Do you think he could show me to the gym?"
Jack knew she wanted to spar, "Do you promise not to break my marines. It takes too much paperwork to replace them."
She held her hand in a girl-guide salute, "I do solemnly swear not to put your jarheads in the infirmary."
She rolled her eyes before adding, "Hey I want to make sure you have as little paperwork as possible. We're newly-weds I want all your attention." She stood up, gave him an impulsive peck on the cheek and followed the aide. The canteen waited till the general had left before the rumour mill went crazy over who the woman was.
For those seating near the general they already had an answer. They had heard the word married and were now hard pressed in not fainting in shock.
Willow transported into the library to see Giles and Dawn waiting for them. The older man was smiling, "That's twenty you owe me Dawnie."
The younger brunette was pouting, "Come on tell me how Buffy knew."
It still amazed Giles that the Scoobies fell for the dumb blonde routine. "My dear girl you sometimes yourself buy into the ditzy act."
Daniel was a little confused so he looked to Willow, "I speak 23 languages but this is going over my head."
Willow snickered, "Well you're going to have to learn Scooby speak."
Giles smirked, "My dear slayer did tell me that I am to send congratulations to you all." It seemed Ripper was trying to come out to play.
Willow was frowning and hoping to distract her mentor. "Wait your saying Buffy told you that we were dropping in."
Giles couldn't help but be smug, "Yep when I got off from the phone with her and her new husband. I must say I'll never understand her, one minute she hates the military. The next thing she has a general for a husband."
Willow giggled, "Well Xander has a colonel for a wife so he can't bitch. Plus yeah I know there might be an age gap but he is a toy-boy in comparison to some of her ex's." None could argue with that after all two of her ex's had reached centennial's.
Giles was curious, "Who pray tell are yours and Faith's husbands?"
Willow winced, "Okay my husband is currently having fun and sparing with Faith. Giles meet Dr Daniel Jackson, Faith's new husband."
Dawn could tell that it had yet to sink in for the genius that she was in fact married. Buffy would have to deal with the nightmare.
Giles realised he knew of the young archaeologist. It seemed as he had often suspected the young archaeologists theories were correct. , he was pretty sure after all why else would he be working with the air-force.
Willow wanted to get away before the shovel speeches started. After all she could tell they weren't too far from Giles' inner ripper coming out to play. Giles smiled at Willow sensing her nervousness tried to reassure her. "Dear girl I won't threaten any of your husbands. Besides what can I do to them that you won't already?"
Willow stopped short by the thought as he was right. "Fair point we will extract promises from the others to come and visit at Christmas. Just you wait till I get my hands on my sneaky best friend."
Dawn shook her head, "Will's give it up and bow before the queen she got you good."
She sighed, "One day I'll get the better of her."
Daniel winced, "I doubt it, we kept trying to get the better of Jack for years. If neither side could get them before they teamed up I doubt we will now."
Buffy looked at the gym through a warriors eyes, it was a little different to what she was use to but then it would do.
Walter was a little curious, "Is this what you were expecting ma'am?"
She looked at him with sharp eyes. He couldn't help his gulp but she answered,
"I prefer Buffy ... There are no weapons on the wall but it will do."
With that she shrugged off her leather jacket, and walked for the punch bag. On her way over a soldier was struggling with the weight bar he was lifting. He was dazed when the tiny blonde walked over and replaced it one handed as if it was nothing. Walter blinked he couldn't have seen what he just saw.
Buffy closed her eyes, centring herself. She then pounced and started to unleash combination after combination on the punch bag. Things were going well until some jar head she didn't know, started to pester her. He waltzed into the gym with more swagger and arrogance than even a master vampire. He proclaimed to be the best fighter in the SGC.
What was winding up Buffy was he wasn't going after people who would hold a challenge for him.
She stilled the punch bag, "I'm game."
Quiet descended over the training room, Walter stepped forward forgetting his bashfulness. After all the general would skin him alive if his wife got hurt. She kicked of her heeled boots looked at Walter with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry I promised Jack I wouldn't kill them."
Walter remembered the conversation then couldn't help but hide a smirk. He didn't know why but for some reason he thought that this person was in for a surprise.
The marines head whipped around appraising the challenger. The appraisal was more of her being a woman than a fighter. He sneered, "Shouldn't you change first?"
She shrugged and smiled but it wasn't a warm one, "Nope fights don't usually wait for a clothes change."
All the people working in the room stopped and followed what was going on with curiosity. The marine was becoming a little uncomfortable. He'd thrown down the challenge, never expecting anyone to answer it.
He couldn't back down so he threw the first punch. Buffy blocked it with a lazy swipe.
She smirked, "Don't hold back I hate when I'm patronized."
He became a little angry at this. His next combination held nothing back all. Still blocked. His breathing became heavier as he exerted more energy to no avail. The women still looked graceful enough that she could grace a magazine.
The onlookers watched on in rapt fascination. One of the onlookers, the leader of SG2 was chuckling. "Jesus Christ."
His captain frowned, "What was that colonel?"
His chuckle became a full laugh, "I don't know the girl but she is toying with him and laughing as she does it. She's switching disciplines faster than anyone I have ever seen."
This made the Air Force captain smile. He'd never been fond of the marine major, "Couldn't happen to a nicer person Sir."
Buffy toyed with him for a few minutes before she delivered the lesson. "First mistake Major," a blur of movement and he was one the floor pinned by her foot. "You allowed my face to fool you."
The major hated the bruising this would give his rep. He doubted having faced her that anyone could match her. He was smart enough to recognize a superior fighter. He smiled graciously acknowledging his defeat, "You're right ma'am."
She helped him up, "It's Buffy. Don't say a word."
His eyes widened but after that display he doubted anyone else would be stupid enough. Looking around the room at the stunned and eager male soldiers, she rolled her eyes, "Who is next?"
The marine, Morrison, stepped into the ring. ,Buffy stayed defensive to gauge his style. She was content to block it seemed he was a kick boxer and it showed. His attacks were all kick boxing moves, she caught the leg when he attacked. He didn't know what hit him. Se spun him around and used a vicious roundhouse to pin him.
"You have more than your legs use them."
She went through two more sparring matches. The mood had changed, it was no longer challenging but they were stepping into the arena to learn. It was then that the alarm went off and an airman arrived.
The colonel ordered, "Report!"
The airman shifted as he relayed the report. "The general ordered and I quote that his wife get her butt to the gate room."
The whole room was curious looking around till Buffy spoke up, "So got to have a word about manners. Lead the way airman, Colonel," and promptly left.
The first beaten major summed up the sentiment of the room. "Damn she's a hot blonde, kicks ass and is the general's wife talk about untouchable."
Truer words had never been spoken.
