Set after Hathor
Great Command
Captain Samantha Carter had really never felt happy to be a woman in the military. She loved the Air Force, but she was a woman in a man's world and some days she hated that.
But not today. Today the very fact that there were woman in the military at the SGC, was what had stopped Hathor from getting complete control of the base.
'We kicked ass.' Sam thought smugly. Granted it was the personnel on the base who's asses they were kicking.
Although they had saved the base, Hathor had still managed to escape through the stargate, and here they were cleaning up the mess that Hathor had made. Doctor Fraiser was busy running tests to see if they could learn something from the burnt remains of the larva but it didn't really look promising.
Colonel Jack O'Neill walked up to her. 'He does really have great abs.' She thought absently, remembering when he had said crunches in relation to her saying it was a miracle that there were no signs of his implantation. She blushed when she realized she had been staring at him.
"So Carter you ladies did a great job today." Jack said grinning at her.
"Thank you sir." She said her grin was as big as his.
"So I was infested with a snake." He grimaced.
"Well technically it was a larva so you were still yourself." Jack shot her a stop-being-a-scientist look and she smiled at him in response.
"You know Carter you don't have to be a scientist everyday of the week."
'And you don't have to be a pain in the ass everyday of the week.' She thought fondly. Oh yeah that could definitely be considered disrespecting a superior officer.
"Are you saying I should be someone I'm not?" She said teasing him just a little.
"I would not dream of it Captain." He said with a roll of his eyes.
'Thought so.' Sam thought to herself. Yeah Jack O'Neill could complain all he wanted about scientists but she knew that he actually liked them sometimes.

'And she thought SG1 should be an all male team. Ha!' Jack thought to himself. He really was proud of his spunky little 2IC. 'Leave it to Carter to save the day.' Oh yeah he was definitely proud of her.
"You're a good 2IC." Jack said suddenly.
"Oh thank you sir." She said.
"You handled that situation perfectly, you said in the beginning that SG1 should be an all male team, today you proved that you are needed here."
Sam looked at the floor embarrassed.
"Never forget that Carter." Jack said as he left the locker room.
"I won't" She promised herself.
~*~*~*~
She made a great second in command and he made a great commanding officer. And both of these two together made an amazing command that was just what was needed to protect earth from things that were bigger then the small little blue planet.
