Under a Dark Star

Disclaimer- I do not own any of these characters from either Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Star Gate SG 1. They of course belong to their creators and their corporations. They just wanted to come out for a while so I agreed. No copyright infringement is intended and I deeply respect their creators and hope I brought them to life in a way they enjoy. Oh yes this work is definitely AU in nature for both series.

A/N- What if Faith was wrong about her family? What if she really was wanted and circumstances were not as she thought? What would her real family do to protect her and help her? What happens when fate decides to give the dark slayer a protector of her own who knows about the council and has a place to keep her safe away from those who harm her?

Spoilers- Season 1 Star Gate SG1 and the movie along with Any and all seasons with Faith in it for Buffy the Vampire slayer. Mostly after the series ended.

Part 37 Expendable PG-13

Cameron Mitchell stepped through the gate. He limped over to his commander and said. "Sir we have a big problem."

Landry nodded and told the teams to wait. He motioned for the team leaders to follow him to his office.

"How bad is it going to be Colonel?"

"Bad sir over a dozen hive ships are heading for Lemeria. We have some good news as well." He paused and then went on." The people in the city seem intact. We just need time to get them awake to help us. Dr. Carson and Dr. Mallard are working to do this. We could use more medical personal. Dr.Lamb be a real asset sir."

Landry glared. "I will take that under advisement. How about the warships? Can they be salvaged and used to drfend the city?"

"We need soldiers to man them sir. Well what we need is a few strike teams. The crew are waking up. They might and I state might be able to fly the things, but there is no way in hell they can take on the wraiths one on one in a fight. That is as ground troops they are just to weak from being in stasis. I think they might man seated postitions but not more then that. It is like they just woke up from a long sleep."

"So we need to go save their asses." Commander Finn said. "It figures. We always have to save someone."

Cameron spun around to face her. "Look Commander." He emphasized her rank. "Those people have been on ice a long time and before that they fought the Wraiths for centuries. So, I say we cut them some slack. I am certain in time they will be friends and allies. They seem to have accepted Faith as their leader. That and they seem to accept Xander is her general."

Sam smirked at this. "Why is it I am so not reassured."

Cameron glared at her. "Faith is our best chance here. She and Buffy can fight the Wraiths. We have a plan but I need support troops to help defend not only Lemuria but Atlantis. Faith has a plan to buy us the time we need to bring more of her people up to speed. Unfortunately we still need a back up if that plan goes south or even if it does not it is bound to draw more wraiths in. Xander and General O'Neill want to set up a perimeter to protect the people if the Wraiths get by the slayers. I think it is a good idea. While we hope to slow them I am not so certain even our teams can stop them."

"Great so we get to be that back ups. Why not take the fight to them." Sam protested. "Wer have the people to send at least a squadron after those freaks of nature."

This time it was General Landry who glared. "I would suggest commander you remain quiet and listen to those who have dealt with this type of things."

"Space Vampires so how bad can they be?" Sam quipped.

"I have to agree so we stake them and move on." her Sergeant said with a grin. "Maybe chop a head off or two."

Cameron glared. "Faith and Buffy could barely go had to have with those things and it tossed Teal'c and Ronan around like they were 90 pound weaklings on the beach."

General Landry frowned at this. "That can not be good."

"So what we snag, bag and dust them." The sergeant said.

"Wraiths do not dust you idiot. They are hard to kill. I have only dealt with them once and am not thrilled to be doing so again." Cameron said. "Gould are so much simpler."

"So stay here and let the pros have a shot." Commander Finn said.

Cameron jerked as if struck." I am a pro you blond headed --"

"Colonel at ease. Commander stand down or orders or not I will have you locked up. Mitchell is one of the best on the planet. I know his skills and trust him. You are just back up." Landry said darkly. "Is insubordination is still an offence commander. I suggest that you remember Colonel Mittchell outranks you."

Sam Finn shrugged. "Right stick together. I won't let you waste my people."

"Your people are playing guard so they should be safe enough." Cameron said with a hard look. "Sir we got to go now."

"See Dr. Lamb first about that foot. Tell her she is needed on this mission. I have to call the president then you can have go. Colonel you are personally responsible for her teams safety."

"Yes sir." Cameron said with a smile. "I will not fail you sir."

"I know." Landry said as he picked up the red phone and motioned everyone to leave.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cameron limped out.

"What was that about." Finn asked.

Cameron grinned and said. "Dr. Lamb is his daughter. Sheis a spitfire but, he wants her safe."

Samantha Finn was shocked. She had thought that the teams being sent were all considered expednable. However this was unexpected. It was clear that the SGC was not like her own commanders. They expected their people to come back. Or at least cared to see they had a chance too. She recalled some of her missions. It was unbelievable that a General would send his own daughter to her death. Well he was sending a guardian that made sence but the rest. Maybe it was not so hopeless and she could find a way to save Riley.
