A.N.: This chapter is a cross-over for Bionic Woman/Six Million Dollar Man. It may seem to come out of nowhere, and to this, I am sorry, but I wrote this crossover part for one of my biggest fans. Also, I know this chapter might seem out of place because it focuses more on the mission then on Sam and Jack, but it is an important set up for the next chapter. I could not have one chapter without the other.

Amazingly, seven more years had passed by. Eight years now, Sam and Jack had worked side by side, never revealing their true feelings for one another. Both wanted to protect the other. Sam had just broken off her engagement with Pete. Jack, too, found himself once again single.

Sam, Jack, Teal'c, and Daniel had just returned from a fishing trip up in Minnesota after discovering the ZPM in Ancient Egypt and the video tape that had accompanied it. Everything seemed to proceeding as normal around the SGC. Jack sat in front of SG-1, now the head of the SGC, for a standard briefing. Daniel was still a little in awe of what Jack was proposing.

"Jack, no offense, but that's impossible! Sure, that planet has a large depository of weapons-grade naquadah that could prove to be invaluable to us in the future, but do you remember back when we had use of that alien technology that have us super human strength? We saw two Goa'uld carrying just two blocks of the naquadah. It's extraordinarily heavy. There is no way the three of us can go into territory still guarded by a system lord and sneak out the naquadah. We would need machinery…equipment…something more than we would be able to do in stealth."

"Ah. Yes. Ordinarily I would have to agree with you, Daniel, but not this time."

"Jack?"

"Let's just say that the government, after much persuading, has finally revealed technology that would allow us to carry home as much as we would have been able to with those super human powers."

The three members of SG-1 looked at each other in confusion. Jack motioned towards the door and in walked two normal looking civilians.

"Sir?"

"Guys, I would like you to meet Steve and Jaime Austin."

"Sir, I think we would all like to know what technology these two bring that could give us such an advantage."

"Yes. Well, that's the interesting part. They didn't bring technology with them. They are the technology."

Jaime decided this would probably be the best time to speak.

"As General O'Neill has stated, my name is Jaime Austin. I know that what I'm about to tell you might sound a little strange, but then again, considering what you guys do for a living, it might not be that strange after all. Steve and I have been cybernetically enhanced."

"You're bionic? I thought that was just a myth?"

"Hey, I thought aliens roaming the Earth were just a myth, but yet, here we are."

"True."

Carter takes a moment to take it all in, and then immediately jumps to her feet.

"Oh my God. I know you! You're Colonel Steve Austin! Like, in the famous astronaut Steve Austin!"

"A fan, I see."

"My field is astro-physics. I had always wanted to be an astronaut. That is, until this job came around."

"Well, I do have say, Colonel Carter, I am a little jealous. You have definitely seen more than I could have ever dreamed of."

Jack cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.

"Ok. As nice as introductions always are, we do have a briefing to finish. Daniel, to answer your original question, Jaime and Colonel Austin are going to be how you get the naquadah out in stealth. Not only are they capable of carrying large weight loads, but they have speed to their advantage as well. SG-1 is there to cover their sixes and help with the intel."

"Makes sense, I guess."

"Sir. How in the world did you get the government to agree to this after all this time?"

"Well, it helps to have a good buddy in Homeland Security. These two work for an intelligence and security agency. General Hammond graciously helped persuade their head to allow me to talk to the Austins. When explained the mission, they eagerly agreed to help. Let's just say it one secretive organization helping out another."

"Ah."

"Ok, people. You have all been briefed on the matter. You leave at 1300 hours."

Jack dismissed the group and watched them depart. Daniel offered to give the guests a tour of the facility and get them set up for the mission. Teal'c disappeared like he normally does. Sam lingered. For a moment, the two starred eye to eye. Then, she smiled and quickly walked away.
