Kajos: As always, sorry for the time between updates but... I haven't got a good excuse so...enjoy the chapter, I'll try to make it long or write two.I'm even taking off my gloves so I can type better.
The truck was met by two dozen SFs as it pulled into the compound, each of the young people was marched in to the base held by two SFs James was more than a little impressed by how cautious they were being about them. As they walked through the corridors James decided he should have got more sleep the night before as he watched a soldier stop open a door and walk through it, but he could swear the door was still closed at the same time. There was clearly something up with his eyes.
Then there was the guard that had asked what he was doing there and shouted for him to stop. No one else seemed to notice him at all. Something was wrong. Jack...well Jack's body lead them down through the levels to the holding cells where they were all placed in separate cells and the doors locked. Then James saw that the guard had followed them. He followed James into the room through the sold door. Though he seemed to open it as well.
"What are you doing here?"
"What's going on, how did you come through that door?" The guards posted on the door turned round looking into the room at him like he was mad. Given that he was hallucinating, he probably was.
"Who are you?"
"James McGuyver. I'm Daniel Jackson's foster kid." The soldier nodded at him.
"Stay here."
"Oh, yeah, I'm so able to go somewhere else." He murmured and the man opened the door and left through the solid door. James lay down on the bed. Noting the camera and other security features around the room while he though about how he would get out of there. He needed to get out.
It was only a few minutes later he heard running footsteps in the corridor and rolled to sit on the bunk as the door, sort of, opened and Daniel entered the room.
"Damit!" He said grabbing his head. "Did they get the others?"
"You're still not Daniel." James said yawning.
"What?" Daniel asked him. "What do you mean I'm not Daniel?"
"God, you guys think I'm soo stupid, don't you?"
"Seriously James, it's me. They've downloaded all our consciousness into this sort of virtual base. We all just found ourselves coming through the stargate..." He paused with an odd look, "except you didn't. Why are you sat in here James?"
"The door's locked, unlike you I don't have what ever it is your using to do that door trick."
"What door trick?"
"When you came in. You opened the door only it didn't open and then you walked through."
"James, I opened the door normally. Could you just try closing it?" James sure this was the real Daniel and very confused went and closed the door, sort-of. "I think I should get Sam."
"Get here quick, the guards look like they're about to call for back -up."
"What guards?" James just shrugged and Daniel jogged off to go get Sam. Just as he left Jack came back and opened the other door leaving the one Daniel had just gone through closed and stepped through it.
"Who were you talking to?"
"Daniel, he was just in here. Or I was hallucinating, I'm currently unsure as to which. Any idea?" James asked off handedly.
"The guards reported no one was in here." Sam and Daniel reentered the room behind him.
"James, Explain to Sam about what you're seeing."
"Not now." Daniel said to the two of them.
"Don't be smart with me." Jack said slapping him.
"Whoa! What was that?" Sam said as a red and white hand print appeared on the boys cheek, he jerked sideways and the cheek ended up red and he sat straight again.
"Yeah, James appears to still be in the real base but at the same time experiencing this version of the base."
"So that was...?"
"Well, I guess there's someone else in the room right now." James gave the smallest of nods on the pretence of clutching his cheek.
"Who were you talking to?"
"I told you, Daniel Jackson, he walked in through the door and started talking to me. I think I'm going mad because you walked through the door as well." Jack was angry now, he stood punching the boy in the side of the head. He dropped on to the bunk vision blurring. Jack picked him up by the front of his shirt.
"James!" Sam said shouting and trying to help him. She could touch him but he was moved it was like she had no strength at all to stop anything.
"Sam...I don't think we can help him." Daniel said starring in horror as James dangled in the air and was slammed into the wall by the invisible person.
Jack dropped him kicking him in the face and gut. James nose exploded in pain and he passed out then.
Daniel was crying while Sam knelt next to him passing through Jack who crouched starring at him. Then walked out.
"The kids a nutter, he told the guards, take him to the infirmary and make sure he's put in restraints." The guards nodded and while Sam was slowly moving the boy into the recovery position discovering that when he wasn't under the influence of reality she could move him when suddenly he was lifted by his arm pits and pulled from the room. Daniel followed.
"Go get the others, I'll stay with him." He followed the floating boy through the corridors telling people not to worry as he did.
Kajos: well, there's a stumper for you. Another chapter to come straight on the tail of this.
