A/N: I know, it's late! But this way I'm updating my stories on alternating weeks. And it's short but it covers everything it needs too. I told you Daniel was alive!!!!!

Disclaimer: I don't Stargate SG-1. And now I am extra sad. I need to go cry and eat ice cream and chocolate.

Homecoming Ch. 7

Daniel stood surrounded by white light. He examined his hands to find them surrounded by a white glow. Other figures began appearing around him. They too had the white glow around them.

He recognized some of them, Morgan La Fey and Oma Desala. A man stepped forward, "Hello, Daniel Jackson, I am Moros."

Daniel nodded, "Hi…"

"You are probably wondering why we called you here," Moros began to explain. "You see, when you were ascended we noticed you were different. And then you broke the rules and Oma sent you back as she should have.

"I have to admit, I was curious about you, so I had people keeping an eye on you. It turned out I was right to. You have caused multiple rebellions in this galaxy and the next. It was by your efforts that the Ori reached this galaxy."

Daniel opened his mouth and Moros held up a hand, "Let me finish. It's time that you learn more about the world you live in…"

Vala stood up from Daniel's body. She glanced at Sam and they both burst into tears. Jack and Teal'c immediately knew what was wrong, Cam glanced around than realized that Daniel was dead. Everyone else looked around before realizing the problem.

A white light rose up from Daniel's body. The entire group stared at it.

A moment that felt like eternity to Vala passed before Jack and Cam took control of the situation. After issuing a few orders, the group had packed up and Teal'c picked up Daniel's body. They left the caves and headed back to the gate.

There was no guard left at the gate. Cam quickly dialed and sent his IDC through. They waited thirty seconds then stepped through.

The gate shut down as SG-1 and SG-5 tromped down the ramp in the SGC gate room. General Landry rushed in after telling Walter to call for a med. team to the gate room. Jack shook his head as Carolyn and her team rushed in with a crash cart.

Landry nodded in understanding, "General O'Neill you can place Dr. Jackson on the cart."

Jack did as asked. The entire gate room and control room had gone silent, "Debrief in one hour."

The off-world team walked off to change and prepare for the briefing. Everyone had a heavy heart.

Vala and Sam entered the locker room. Sam went to the shower but Vala just sat down. She was numb. She had cried over Daniel's rejection of her and his capture. But she couldn't cry now, when he was dead.

He buried her face in her hands in frustration. Why couldn't she cry now when it mattered most? Crying over stupid stuff like being rejected was easy! But crying over death was a different affair.

Sam came out of the shower to find Vala still sitting in her uniform. She sat down, "It's okay. That light that came out of his body was Daniel ascending. He is still alive and he will come back. He's watching over us now."

Vala smiled wearily, "But he's gone now and I can't believe that I never told him how I felt."

Sam nodded in sympathy.

A/N: I know, a bit vague about the thing Moros is going to tell Daniel. Next chapter will come in two weeks.
