... seven questions asked

They all woke at the same time by the sound of the door opening. They may not have had a peaceful night sleep but they had mostly managed to sleep for all of it. Daniel sat up slowly while Jack removed his arm from around Sam's waist and they both moved so their necks were both straight.

Only when they were all semi comfortable did they look towards the door, knowing that their attitude would probably piss off whoever had entered the room but also knowing that it was one of the few chances they would have to rebel. When they did look up they saw the one and only Ba'al entering. He sneered at all of them and when none of them made to stand he gestured and Hamzah walked past and yanked the chain between Sam and Jack's arms, pulling them to their feet roughly, wrenching both their left and right arms Daniel and Teal'c's arms that were attached to them.

Daniel and Teal'c got up under their own steam, while Sam and Jack rolled their shoulders to alleviate as much of the discomfort as possible.

Ba'al smirked at all of them and said, "Ah, how lovely to see you all again." He looked straight at Jack and said, "You still owe me your life."

Jack just stared at him, not saying a word. Sam and Daniel followed his lead while Teal'c stayed as still as ever.

Ba'al's smirk grew as he said, "The puny Tau'ri warriors, thinking they can stand up to a god."

"False god," Jack couldn't help but say.

Ba'al took a step forward and raised his hand and used the hand device on Jack. Jack continued to stare it him defiantly but fell to his knees. Ba'al stopped before Jack fell unconscious and said, "I am a god, only a god to bring you to your knees with such ease."

Jack got back to his feet slowly and shakily and was about to say more when Sam gripped his hand quickly and out of the corner of his eye he saw her shake her head. He understood that she didn't want him to say anything more, he knew from previous experience that she hated it when any of them were hurt, especially him but he refused to see that as anything more than her protecting her CO.

Ba'al stepped back and said, "I have seven simple questions that I want answers to, you answer them and I leave you alone but you don't answer them," he touched the pain stick he was holding to the chain between Sam and Jack's legs, "And you will be punished."

He left them gasping where the stood as he pulled the pain stick away again.

Hamzah, who until now had been standing quietly behind Ba'al, asked, "Is there anything I can get you my Lord before I return to my duties?"

Ba'al shook his head but didn't look at his first prime as he said, "No, now leave us."

Hamzah nodded and turned away, taking the two Jaffa in the door way with him. Jack and Sam both saw them take positions outside the door before they looked at Ba'al again.

He swung the pain stick back and forth in his hand, before speaking again, "First question." He looked at Jack, "What code is put into this device," he held up one of the GDO's, "To deactivate the shield on the Tau'ri's Chapa'ai?"

"Hey Carter would you look at that, they didn't all get left on the planet after all."

"Looks like sir," Sam answered not taking her eyes off Ba'al.

Ba'al scowled and brought the pain stick up and stuck it in Jack's chest. Jack cried out in pain and fell to his knees once more. When he was only just this side of conscious Ba'al moved the stick back and looked at Daniel before moving to stand in front of him, "Tell me Doctor Jackson, you were the one who ascended were you not?"

Daniel just stared at him, not answering, so Ba'al continued anyway, "How do you do it?"

That shocked Daniel, as well as the other three, immensely. "Why would you want to know that?" Daniel questioned.

"To become more powerful than all the system lords combined and rule the universe, my way, just like Anubis tried to do," Ba'al answered with a sneer.

Daniel shook his head and looked at the floor while muttering, "Knock yourself out Ba'al, you saw how well that worked for Anubis in the end."

Ba'al used his hand device on the archaeologist until Daniel fell to the floor, unconscious. Sam winched as he hit the floor but she couldn't do anything more than stare back at Ba'al.

"There is fire in you," Ba'al said, "You would make an excellent host for a Goa'uld." He stopped speaking, as if thinking of something; then said, "If you agree to be my queen then I will give your friends a chance to leave, whether they make it or not is completely up to them."

Jack turned his head just in time to see Sam seriously considering the offer but he shook his head, "Not a chance Carter, don't you dare. You know as well as I do he's lying and he'll just kill us as soon as you've been implanted."

"Pity," Ba'al said, sticking Jack with the pain stick once more, "You would have made a beautiful queen."

"Go to hell," Sam spat at him.

He laughed, "Ah so full of spirit, let's see if I can break that." He moved the stick from Jack's body to Sam's and she screamed in agony. Ba'al removed the stick and said, "Let's try another question shall we Major Carter."

Sam was breathing heavily but she stared back at him. He smirked and said, "Where is the Tok'ra base? You were the host to Jolinar of Malkshur so you would know."

Jack snorted while Sam shook her head. "That'd be the day," Jack muttered, "They never tell us anything."

Ba'al scowled but didn't use the pain stick, or hand device, on any of them. Instead he asked another question, this one directed at Teal'c, "Ah the shol'va. How could you betray your God Apophis for such an inferior race?"

Teal'c stared him full in the face and said in a level voice, "Because you are false gods and the Tau'ri live in freedom. I want my people to become free just like they are."

Ba'al scoffed, "You will never succeed; we are gods and will not be defeated."

Teal'c didn't say anything in response because Jack took care of it for him, "Look at our record, you not being defeated is a load of bull and you know it. How many of the system lords have we managed to kill in the last six years? What's a few more?"

He got the pain stick again and as he stood screaming Ba'al said, "Your blasphemy will be punished."

He looked back at Teal'c and said, gesturing with the pain stick, "Where is the base for the so called free Jaffa."

"I will die before I divulge that information," Teal'c said.

Ba'al sighed, "I should have known, stupid Jaffa loyalty." He stuck the pain stick into his symbiote pouch, causing Teal'c to convulse even as he screamed.

Ba'al was smiling when he finally stopped, leaving Teal'c on his knees. He moved back to stand in front of Jack and said, "You never answered me before, why did you return here?"

"I told you before and I'll tell you again, I had no choice, he high jacked my body and then left me," Jack snarled at him.

Ba'al nodded; he had obviously been expecting that answer. He moved towards the door saying, "I will be back again tomorrow to ask you again, if you don't answer tomorrow you will be punished and then I will return the day after and use other methods to get the information I need."

He turned back just before the door and, taking a step back into the room and raised his hand towards Jack, only stopping when he too was unconscious, just like Daniel next to him.

He smirked at Sam and said, "Until tomorrow Major."

Not a hundred per cent sure about some of the questions but out of the 20 or so I made up these were the ones that I felt a Goa'uld was most likely to ask.
