DESTRUCTION, ABSOLUTE
Disclaimer: Mutant Enemy owns Buffy the Vampire Slayer and MGM owns Stargate: SG-1. I don't claim to own them, but hope no one minds me borrowing them slightly.
Rating: PG-13 for language and violence.
Inspired by: The Problem Child challenge issued by BuffyCharmed.
Summary: The Problem Child challenge. When SG-7 finds an ancient temple referring to the Chosen one, it's arranges for The Slayer and her Watcher to be part of the team. Unfortunately Buffy didn't expect to come face to face with her estranged sister.
Any questions, complains or what not, feel free to let me know at 7: What's a girl to wear?
Janus leaned back into this throne and stretched his fingers across its arms as he regarded this man called Ethan Rayne. He looked no more impressive or unimpressive then any other human he had come upon. The man was older then the other men who were captured, and though he didn't wear the same clothing or the insignia of SGC Janus was convinced he was also from the Tau'ri.
The goa'uld's eyes flashed gold. "Why should I no kill you where you stand?"
"Untie me, and I will prove my worth."
"You seem very quick to betray your companions. Why is that?"
"They're not my companions, my lord." Ethan said lowering his head as if in supplication.
Janus rose up and descended from his throne and began to circle the man in front of him, then crossed to stand before Col. Stacey and his team. The Colonel stared up defiantly at the false god, and as he glared his blue eyes seemed to darken with contempt. Janus' hand reached down and traced the perimeter of the SG-10 patch.
"My jaffa told me they saw you standing at the chappai'ai moments after these Tau'ri started down the path to my village. Are you telling me that you didn't come through the Stargate with them?"
"They weren't aware of it, but yes I did. I was employed by separate agency to covertly steal advanced alien technology. Perhaps even your technology."
"Why would you tell me this? When you know I will kill you?"
"I hold no allegiance to them or the NID. My allegiance is strictly to Janus." He said with passion.
"You hold no allegiance to them, but you agreed to serve them?" Janus moved back to stand in front of the strange human.
"I have my own agenda, and our goals were in synchronicity at the time." Ethan shrugged.
"What is your agenda?"
"Chaos."

Sam watched as Buffy wrinkled her noise at the BDU's that Sam had placed in front of her.
"I don't think so. I'm not really a G.I.Jane kind of girl."
"You don't have a choice, Buffy." Sam said clearly smiling. "Listen, it's not like it's a fashion show. We're going off planet, and who knows what we'll find there. These will help you blend into the brush if we need to take cover."
Buffy regarded her sister and noticed that Sam's eyes were pleading with her to just this once do as she was asked. Buffy gave a long exaggerated sign, as she mockingly slumped her shoulders in defeat.
"Fine, but don't expect me to wear that jacket. There's only so far that you can push a girl."
"Thanks. Listen, I'll leave you to get dressed and Airman Dodson will escort you and Dr. Giles to the embankment room."
Sam left, and started to make her way to the women's locker room. Shortly after leaving Buffy's room though, she noticed that Captain Miller has started to walk in time with her.
"Did I actually see you give Buffy a set of BDU's?" Miller was laughing.
"You saw right, Captain."
"Think she'll wear them?"
"You don't think she will?"
A smile rolled onto Millers face as he thought about that one retrieval mission he had gone on with Buffy before Walsh tried to kill her.
"Last time the military wanted Buffy to suit up, she insisted in wearing what she had on."
They had come to the door way of the woman's change room, and Sam leaned against the door waiting for Miller to finish.
"Which was?"
"A halter-top and heals. Don't get me wrong, she kicked the demons ass like you wouldn't believe, but Buffy's not one to shrug fashion for practicality."
"I'm sure she'll wear what I gave her." Sam stated with confidence.
"If you say so, Major, but if she shows up in a corset and skirt though, don't say I didn't warn you."
" "
Jack regarded his 2IC with exasperation.
"You had better be joking Major."
"That's what Captain Miller said to me, just thought I would warn you Colonel."
Daniel walked into the disembarkment room and found Sam, Jack and Teal'c already standing at the foot of the ramp.
"Miller told you what?" Daniel asked.
"Carter's sister plans on going off world in some girly thing, probably frilly too."
Daniel smirked. "I wouldn't be opposed that."
"What!" Jack called out in that loud grating tone of his.
Daniel in turn gave Jack is wide eyed 'who me?' look and respond with. "What?"
"Daniel."
"Jack."
They were interrupted from continuing by Buffy and Giles entering the gate room.
"What you arguing about?" Buffy asked.
Jacked turned to look at the Slayer, and was relieved to see that she had entered wearing the combat boots and BDU pants that were assigned to her. However the black spaghetti strap tank top definitely wasn't standard issue, but Jack figured he could let that slide. He also noted that Giles was wearing the full set of BDU's that here provided for him, at least someone knew how to follow orders.
"Nothing." Jack grunted out.
"Didn't sound like nothing."
"O'Neill was concerned that you would be disembarking through the Stargate dressed in something, I believe the word was girly."
"Teal'c!" Jack turned his indignant look from Daniel to Teal'c
"Did I miss something? I though Sam said the Private Benjamin stuff was mandatory?"
Sam noted that Buffy was looking a little confused over the situation.
"Miller might have mentioned something about you going on a mission in a halter top. He gave the impression that was what we should expect."
Buffy just rolled her eyes.
The voice of one of the gate operators filled the room, informing them of the locked status of the chevrons. Giles took note of the symbols on the outside of the gate, recognizing the different constellations. He was taken by surprise when the gate opened and it looked as if a stream of water ejected then was pulled back into the Stargate.
"Good lord."
Buffy didn't even need to turn around to know that Giles was just itching to take off his glasses and clean them. However as she looked at the gate all she could say was.
"Neat."
"SG-1." Hammond's voice sounded over the intercom. "You have a go."
" "
Janus had ordered Ethan released. As he stood up and rubbed his wrists Ethan smiled like a shark at Janus then turned to look at SG-10 who were still bound and kneeling on the floor.
"Janus nomine effingo indignus repere." Ethan started to chant the words over and over. With each word his breathing became heavier and heavier, till he finally took one long breath and looked up. His gaze turned to Colonel Stacey and in a firm commanding voice he whispered. "Let thy will be done."
There was blinding flash of light, and when it was gone so was the Colonel. In the Colonel's place there was a cobra poised ready to strike, which was unfortunate for his 2IC who was the closest in striking distance.
"Have I proven myself worthy?"
Janus smiled, as the screams from the 2IC of SG-10 filled the room.
