Felicity lay on the hospital bed, staring at her hands. The ceremony went well; she was most amused at the level of idiom that consisted of Lt Col. Cameron Mitchell. Sighing, she rested her head against the pillow, her brown hair flopping in her eyes. It was a royal mess with the Ori and being one of the very few Ancient left in human form. Bastards, she sneered to the heavens, Bunch of cowards! My father should ascend and force action from you.
Doctor Lam had kindly given her back her belongings. Reaching into the draw next to her, she pulled out her coin torque. Fingering the designs, she sighed, drawing up her blanket covered knees. Felicity hated how none of her family could be safely extracted from the pods. To be completely honest with herself, she was lonely. The feeling of not belonging vibrated hollowly in her heart. The best thing she could do was help out with the war against her enemies.
The door opened, dragging her attention away from her musings. Daniel walked in, a smile gracing his features. "So did it work?" he asked in English. She nodded before looking back down at her knees. "What's wrong?"
"I just…" she struggled for a moment, searching for the words, "I feel like the universe has left me behind. And now I have to work hard at trying to find my own niche again."
Daniel sat down on the bed and patted her knee. "I don't remember a lot during my time as an ascended. But when I was forced out for questioning the rules, I lost my memory. It was hard to fit in and I spent most of my time in reflection. Then Jack, Sam and Jonas arrived and told me that I was all of these wonderful things about myself, it took me a long while to actually make the step to try and fit in again." He took a deep breath. "I admit, it isn't the same situation as yours, but what I'm trying to say is persevere and think of it as a second chance to live your life."
Felicity looked at him for a moment before nodding. It didn't help much, but at least she had a start. "Do you think that perhaps I can tag along here, at least until I find my feet?" biting her lip, she glanced up at him shyly through her brown bangs.
"I'm sure that we can work something out," he grinned at her reassuringly. "We have some quarters ready for you, although it is a little Spartan at the moment, just the basic things like a bed and desk and things."
She brightened. "That sounds wonderful. If I need anything else, I can just take it from my torque." Daniel's eyes widened. "It's a device that allows me to store all my belongings without always having to go back home to get them."
Daniel looked curiously at it. It would be an interesting thing to study once he could convince her to let him borrow it.

Cameron spun lazily in his chair, waiting for Daniel to arrive so they could get on with the briefing. He mused on the girl they had brought back. She seemed cute, if not a little ordinary. He freely admitted that she was attractive, but he knew that if he saw her one the street, he'd give her a second glance and keep walking, instead of stopping and asking for her number. Daniel rushed in, arms full of papers and his computer.
"'Bout time, can we get started now?" Daniel frowned at his tone before setting up his computer. Sam gave Cameron a look before giving Daniel her attention.
Feeling a little guilty, Cameron offered an excuse. "Having a bad day, sorry, Jackson." Appeased, Daniel nodded and began talking.
"I was talking to Felicity just before when she mentioned to me that her necklace contained a technology that could hold all of her belongings. Now I cross referenced it against the information that we downloaded from the labs and I found this," he clicked a button and few paragraphs of ancient beamed from the projector. "Loosely translated in describes her necklace as a similar device to Merlin's. It also says that not only does it have her belongings in it, it also has a storehouse of ancient technology and information about the wraith and Ori."
Cameron sat up, his attention finally caught. "So you're saying, if we play nice, Felicity will allow us to use her magic hat of goodies?" Daniel glanced at him, frustrated with the colloquialisms that frequently came out of his mouth.
"Possibly."
"What do you mean possibly?" Cameron asked, oblivious to the look. Daniel sighed, noting how similar Cameron was to Jack O'Neill. "I haven't asked her yet. She may not know that she has them."
General Landry looked over the group, a paternal warmth settled on his shoulders as he made his decision. "Daniel, ask away. Any information that could give us an advantage over either enemy is too good to let slip away. And Cameron," the pilot looked at his commanding officer. "I'm leaving you in charge of making her feel welcome. I want all her needs seen to, and try and get her to agree to a small alliance." Cameron nodded and sat up a little straighter. He had his orders.
