Xanders way of getting a power up was not the normal way. He was laying in an underground Hospital trying to get his bearings. A nice Woman tended to him. She was short in size but big in temper. All the Soldiers going in and out of the Infirmary did as she told them to without questioning.
Some portly Guy who he knew was the Commanding Officer around here came by from time to time asking him about if he knew anything. But the Problem was that he didn't know anything. His tumble through several Realities was enough for his brain. It had shut down thoroughly. The Doctor saw that everything in his brain marked for memory was shut down. Nothing she knew of could do this.
Xander was just happy to get three meals a day and some nice Females to look at. He had found out that he rather liked the People around him. There was one who called himself Jack who came by from time to time to talk about Simpsons and Gameboys, Fishing and Astronomy. He was a nice guy. Xander revelled in the attention of somebody he almost could call dad.
At one point he was good enough that the nice Doctor would let him out of her care. But she made him promise that he would come looking for her if he felt anything off. He said okay to that. He hadn't settled for a name. His clothes were torn so badly that he didn't have any pockets left for him to have anything. But they had apparently found his DNA in their Computers and found out that his name was Alexander LaVelle Harris. So he at least had a name that when called and no one else answered was meant for him.
He was walking through sublevel 28. He was allowed to come down and watch everything as long as he didn't stand in the way when something was going on. Now he stood into an alcove to get out of the way of many people running towards the main attraction on this level as he was told. So when everything died down a bit he walked towards the main room down here. Soldiers were almost tripping over each other when walking inside that room. Alex had never been in there. But he had heard a lot about it. Now he was standing in the Hallway and waiting. He heard a lot of shouting and posturing. Then someone yelled something and Soldiers got thrown around in there.
Some of them even flew out the open door into the hallway where Alex stood. He flinched when they hit the Wall and slid down. But when he heard the voice booming in the other room a for him new mindset opened up. Inside Xander the Hyena was battling a loosing war. All the Powers her Vessel had collected was too much for her. So she started a desperate attempt to make herself known. On the outside no time was wasted. But on the inside time flew very slow.
Inside Xanders Mind …
Alex walked around inside his own mind. He did not know where he was. But this place seemed like it should be familiar to him. Out of the Dark a figure came and made a place materialize that Alex saw was somewhat familiar. But not having access to his own Memory was so bad. So he walked up politely to the Figure who looked to be a mixture of a Woman and a Hyena. The Hyena-Woman began to speak: "Greetings young one. I am the primal Spirit. A Godlike being if you would call it that."
Alex: "I feel like I should know you. But ..."
Hyena interrupted: "I know your brain is in Screen-Saver mode. No access to your memory what so ever. But this is important. You have collected all those powers on your quick trip through the Multiverse. Now I am being thrown out. Problem with that is that I will vanish, I will die if I get thrown out of your body. So for me to prevent that I need for you to merge with me. But you can only merge with everything you have gathered."
Alex: "So merging with you would give me what?"
Hyena smiled: "Merging with me will give you a power never felt before. Enough to go in there and kick the Butt of the one in Gold-Armour even through his shield. Better yet if we do this now I can even stay on and help you when you Meditate and come back in here."
Alex thought about it for a second and then nodded: "I will maybe regret it later because I just somehow know that you are not telling me everything. But I will do this."
Hyena smiled and stepped closer to the Boy. Alex saw the hungry lust filled look in her eyes. She walked up to him and kissed him thoroughly on the lips making his toes curl. Then light began to fill his mindscape. When Xander was finished blinking he suddenly knew everything from his life. His new powers slotted them selves slowly. But Xander knew enough that he could feel Hyena smiling from within. He only sent a thought of mild annoyance towards her receiving a chuckle in reply.
Armed with the full power and knowledge of her Highness Primal Queen Spirit he walked into the fray. Jack had just been thrown Head over Heels into a wall. Xander paid it no mind. He walked like a predator. He felt like a predator. He was the alpha of the entire Base. Soldiers who had worked together for a time have an instant knowledge when somebody with more power than them is on the Field. The only problem is who is he or her aligned to.
As they all felt the power of the new young man rolling off of him in waves that made them all almost cower in fear they aligned them behind him. Xander walked up to the so called god who still had People around him. He who had fought bigger and faster beings than a simple overpowered Human would do easy work on those who wanted to protect their "God".
At least that was what he thought. He had all the powers of Hyena. But they had fighting experience. Xander was not bested but his fight did last a bit longer than he would have liked. The first three who thought that they could just blow him away didn't see the young Tau'ri move. But they felt him throw them around like ragdolls. The others began to systematically fight him. But experience can only do so much before true power wins. So while the fight wasn't particular short it was brutal.
Xander had thrown the first three with devastating results into the walls. People around him looked at him like the proverbial Monster under the bed that just came out to play. It didn't last long though. So Xander soon had his hands a bit full. The other Soldiers didn't want to hit him so they stayed out of the way. Now as he almost decapitated the last Warrior with a backhand that threw him off of his feet into a wall the God was standing there with a weird hand jewel pointed at him. Xander didn't want to stop and see what the stupid thing could do. So he reached into the shield and broke the hand of the young man.
But reaching through the shield was hurting more than it should. The shield had some protection against someone getting handsy with the one using the shield. But against the combined powers of the Hyena along with the rest of Xanders new and old Tennants was more than enough to rip through the shield.
The gold-armoured Man looked like we was going to kill Xander when ever he got his hand fixed. Xander didn't want to take any chances so he ripped of the hand along with the Device attached to it. So as he saw the shield flicker off and his hand stopped burning he reached down to the man wanted to break the mans neck. But something came flying out of the Mouth of this man and wanted to attack Xander. But he only reached out and grabbed the being out of the air and held him in an iron grip.
Xander had however in his anger forgotten that he was a bit stronger than before. So he crushed the thing in his hands and looked at his hands with disgust. He picked up the man and looked him in the eyes. The man was terrified for his life. But at the same time he seemed to be eternally grateful for his newfound freedom. However long it would last. Xander heard shuffling from behind him. He dropped the man and flew around. The Soldiers who had pointed their Weapons at the young man just stood there and gaped. Xander wanted so much to throw out a little joke. But something inside of him kept him form doing so.
So he fixated the General who was behind a glass-wall a bit up with a look from one alpha to the other. Xander knew he needed to be friendly so he tried his best.
Xander: "Sir with all due respect please tell your people that I will take it as a personal insult if they think that they can hurt me with these Weapons. But if it calms them then they can keep pointing them at me."
The General looked at him with a calculating look and then without turning away from Xander began to talk: "Stand down people. Mr Harris seems to have found his memory again. Please escort him up to the Briefing-Room and set up a Guard. Make sure that those Jaffa who are still alive are stripped of their weapons and put in a cell. We will deal with them later."
The soldiers looked up at their leader and got into gear. The still downed Jaffa were stripped from their Weapons and gathered on their Cell-Floor. Xander was escorted up to the Briefing-Room. They were really polite about it. So Xander didn't play anything else but the gracious Visitor. He kept his hands where everyone could see them and didn't move to quickly.
Walking in to the Briefing-Room with his entourage was a sight for the General. Xander took a seat at the far end of the Table a bit away from everyone else. SG-1 as he knew them were along for the talks. Xander waited patiently for the General to start speaking.
General: "Well mister Harris. What happened in there?"
Xander: "Before I answer that General, how Much do you know about Sunnydale?"
General Hammond looked down at the table in thoughts he had heard the town-name before. But he couldn't tell where. Then it hit him. The President had told him if anyone would mention that name he was to treat the person with all the respect he could muster and call him right away. Xander saw when the General recognized the Name. He didn't show it on the outside. But he was somehow happy to know that just by asking him that simple question was enough for him to get a little more time to come to grips with his own situation.
The General looked at Xander and said: "I have to call the President. Then I will have to talk to my Premier-Team as you see them here. We are not excluding you on this. But I frankly need to gather some information about Sunnydale before I can even begin to ask questions. I do hope that you understand."
Xander was happy for the timeout and agreed on the spot: "I understand General. I will await in what ever room you think is appropriate for to wait in."
Hammond nodded and gave an Airman the order to escort Mr. Harris to some VIP-Quarters along with the orders to give Mr. Harris anything he needed. Xander understood the underlying tone about him not asking about anything stupid. So as they walked away Xander asked for some food first and a shower second. The Airman understood and together they walked to the Mess-Hall and then to the VIP-Room in the same floor.
Xander walked into the room and made him self comfortable after a shower. He sat down and meditated about his powers he had gathered. This would take a while for him to start so we are going back to the Briefing-Room.
Back with the General he walked into his own Office and picked up the phone dealing the President. The President was ready within a few minutes.
President: "Yes George, what can I help you with today?"
Hammond: "Too many People on your agenda today Mr. President?"
President: "Don't you know it George. But as long as I am talking to you I have a bit of time. So tell me what is going on?"
Hammond: "Well sir I have a young man of the Name of Alexander LaVelle Harris. He is from Sunnydale and asked me about how much I know about Sunnydale before he would answer anyone of my Questions. So my question for you sir is, what do I need to know and am I even cleared for this info?"
The President got very quiet over the phone. George waited and heard the President mutter a few choiced curse-words. Then he heard him collect himself and started to speak: "Well George this is going to be a fine mess. I will need a detailed report about how he got there and in what condition. What his condition is now and how he is behaving. My spies in Sunnydale have told me that the young man in Question vanished form the face of this Earth 3 months ago. Now he shows up at the SGC? I say again detailed Report. You will have Major Davis be with you within the hour. He is in the vicinity. Call me when you have more info from the young man. Major Davis can give the young man an update about what his Friends have been up to. Goodbye General Hammond."
The President hanging up George sat there thinking everything over. He reached over to his intercom and buzzed Walter.
Walter: "Yes sir?"
Hammons: "Major Davis is on his way. Make sure that SG-1 and our new guest is in the room when I need them."
Walter: "Of course sir."
Hammond stood up and paced his Office. He saw Walter come in to the Briefing-Room and talk with the People there. They understood and vanished out of there for now. When the General started pacing in his room after a call with the President it usually meant Work somewhere in full Gear. So everyone went to do what they needed to do before a mission.
Major Davis got a call from the Joint-Chiefs. He had gotten an order from the President to queue in General Hammond and SG-1 about Sunnydale and the whole darker side of life. He didn't like that one bit. Oh sure, he was sure about the three males. But Carter was just too much Science-Officer to even consider the possibility of magic. She would be one tough nut to crack. He hoped that who or what ever would have made the President pull that stunt had enough credit to get ¾ of his work done.
After the long trip down he walked in to the Briefing-Room and greeted the General with all the Pomp he could muster. He was a little tired and annoyed. But he tried not to show it to the General. Hammond however saw it at first glance and asked: "Do you need some time to recover or can we proceed?"
Major Davis stopped up thought about it and then just shook his head: "No Sir, a very strong Coffee and something with Sugar in it to help me up again would do wonders."
Hammond nodded and wanted to talk with Walter but he already came in with SG-1 their Guest and him and their Guest loaded with Sweets from the Mess-Hall. George raised an eyebrow at Walter. He only briefly looked in Xanders general direction. George turned to Xander and asked the same question without saying a word. Xander caught on and smiled: "Basic rules in our Group. Never show up to a tense talk without something to help the mood of at least 80% of the People."
George had to swallow a laugh. He heard SG-1 and Major Davis shuffle around and at a glance he could tell that they all thought the same thing about the young man.
George looked everyone over and nodded to Major Davis. He in turn pulled out a few folders from his Suitcase and put them in the middle of the table. He gave Walter something for the Projector and a VHS-Tape to use later. He then settled himself with a cup of coffee and something sweet which looked edible. Fixing off the first bite of sweet and the first swallow of coffee he then pulled himself together. He had the White-Knight on his side. That could be helpful if he could keep his humour in check.
Major Davis began: "This world is older as you know. ..."
Xander didn't need to hear this one again. But as the Major droned on about Giles' favourite speech he just kept himself quiet. After Major Davis stopped at the same part where Giles stopped he just couldn't help himself: "Copying from the G-Man Major?"
Major Davis smiled at that: "Yes White-Knight. We have been watching everything you have done."
They all saw Xander turn a sour mood over the name. So Major Davis elaborated: "Alexander LaVelle Harris is also know under several names in the scene I am about to introduce you to. He is known as the White-Knight. That is not only the name this one being gave you Alexander. It is what you are. Further more he is known as the Heart of the Group. He is the one who keeps them grounded and focused and before his time away from home he was considered the normal one of them all. Now we are not so sure about that. We will need some info on that during this Briefing."
Xander was stunned that they knew this much but kept it to himself for now. But he nodded when the Major said the thing about him telling him about what he could do. He had learned a lot about that during his Meditation.
Meditating alone …
Xander sat in his Room and started to meditate. He had never done something like this before. But had seen a lot of Comics and a lot of movies where the main character always had to do something like this. Besides he had heard Giles talk about it with Willow from time to time and made a few notes here and there. He had read through them enough times that he knew the basics.
So beginning with sitting down and going inside of himself whatever that meant. He only got tired at that. So he tried it his own way. He sat back down on the floor and started to picture his Core as the Highschool-Library. That went better. He quickly found himself sitting at the Library-Table. But his Book-Cases were all empty. Books, Weapons and Shields lay strewn across the floor. As he looked around further he found the Weapons-Cage expanded and real shelving put inside.
Giles' Office was remade to be a way to big a room with a Table with three Chairs around. The room itself was triangle. On each wall was one door. The wall were Xander came out of looked like the door into Giles' Office. The Writing on the door was readable from the room. It said Main-Xander Mindscape
Xander shrugged and went over to look at the other doors. One door looked like it was a way into hell. But it still had a homey feeling to it. The last door was a door who could have fit in on Tarzan's Hut in the Comics. He didn't find any writing on the other doors. But he already found the place a bit boring so he went back into the Library. He started to sort out the Weapons first. The Shields came next. He thought about how he suddenly knew about things he had learned while fighing and just plain watching Buffy. When his Weapons-Cage was finished he began to see a change in the Library as well. Some books where sorted in to the Book-Cases. He thought a bit further about things he had experienced while learning different Weapons and fighting techniques.
When he looked around again he found even more books sorted. But it was a bit of a jumble. So he stopped doing that and went back into the Triangle-Room. There he found the other doors a bit open and eyes looking out of them. Xander swallowed once dry but went over to sit down. The Jungle Door opened up and a female Hyena on two legs came out. She walked like she was on the Hunt.
The last door opened up and a figure came out. He had a slight remanence on Xander himself. He further more had horns on his head that looked like someone had taken parts of a Buffalo-horn and put them on the side of his head. He had a slight red tinge to his skin and when he smiled which he hadn't stopped doing since stepping out of the door you could see his sharp teeth.
Hyena waited until the for lack of a better term Devil was sitting down before she her self sat down with a hunters grace. The Devil Creature started: Greetings you two. So this is the Human that I have to stay in. A bit pathetic. But I can't really complain. Because I have the feeling that you are going to be a lot of fun to be around."
Hyena: "Oh quiet you overgrown Sheep. You are not in charge in this body and you never will if I get my say in this."
Devil: "Says the girl who so wanted to deck this ones maybe Girlfriend and then she turns around and beats him with a desk."
Hyena: "I have been out there. You have not so ..."
Xander had enough of those two: ENOUGH, BOTH OF YOU!
Both flinched at the loud tone. Devil lowered his eyes a bit and said: "Sorry Alpha. But I just find it funny that a Girl can deck the Alpha Primal."
Hyena wanted to inject something but Xander came first: "You will get the chance to fight against her yourself. Because if I ever get out here, we will have a very long and very boring talk with my friends back in Sunnydale. But first Buffy and maybe even Angel will try to have a go at us. And Buffy is insanely fast in learning new techniques. So don't be too cocky."
Hyena's eyes lighted up with understanding and Devil looked down shortly before he looked back up again and nodded. He stood up and began to pace before the table. Hyena and Xander looked on. Devil began to think out loud: "So I am stuck here fighting all that I actually want to free from down there. But then again. If I do that I will be down in rank. So do I go along with this? When I think about it I just really want to have some fun in beating something up real good. Maybe this one can give me that. He stopped and turned around to the others. Xander had a cruel smile on his face. Devil stood back half a step but caught himself quickly. Hyena just looked on with a bored face.
So Devil turned to Xander and wanted to ask but Xander answered before he could ask: "We are going to the most active Hellmouth on the planet. Don't you think that we will at one point run in to something that will sense what kind of power we will be hiding away?`What do you think they will do when some of them seems to forget how to think properly?"
Devil sat down again with his own smile that could really put the scare on some of the darker citizens of the Hellmouth. Without any other word Devil began to talk: "Time is still running very slow in here. But we are loosing time. So I will get right to it. I am an amalgam of different Creatures. My magic is at the level of a Devil-General you will change into my form if you do a spell that uses that power. I have greater strength and speed than your normal garden-variety Vampire. I do have two livers and two stomachs. Your insides will change into what I have. But that is only concerning that livers and stomachs and that can be talked away with simple magic residue. Further more do I have telekinetic and telepathic powers. But the same with my other powers. You will change into me when you use them. So test it out before you accidentality change during School. Although I would love to see the face on that troll when you turn into something he seems to worship. And I guess that is all. Your turn lady."
Hyena rolled her eyes and began talking: "I do also have greater strength and speed then what you typical seem to find in your home Alex. I do also have excellent tracking capabilities. I can change your body into a Hyena. But that will take a bit of work. Along with the latent devil dog that he has which I can sense by the way you will be able to vanish in the dark. Especially when you merge with the both of us. But only do so if you truly want it."
Xander sat back and thought everything over. Not to let the others guess he also began to think out loud: "So Hyena gives me a Hyena form with everything that goes with it. Can be devastating when used correctly. Devil gives me the Devil-Dog with it's possibilities. Along with that I get his Devil form and can use his powers. I guess what Hyena isn't telling me either because she doesn't know or she just wont tell me is that I may be able to change into her human version as well. Maybe using some of my Rune-Knowledge to mask my powers and make the Hyena-Persona the one helping out. No that would just be strange."
Devil: "But a useful way to blend in with others. My own form can make you blend in with other bad guys. Even the Vampires will not think twice about what you are when you look my way."
Hyena: "He has a point Alex. You don't have to decide now. But I would like if you at least thought about it."
Devil: "Yeah Kid. I hate to agree with the Chick. But you shouldn't jump into this. At least wait until you are out of this place."
Xander looked down at the Table and then just nodded. He stood up and held out his hand for the Devil to shake. Devil shook said hand and smiled. He established a connection with the boy. He wanted to walk of but waited. Xander rounded the table to Hyena and looked her in the eyes: "I really think that you look great. I would so love to do dirty things with you. But since you are part of me that would just be awkward. But this I can handle."
He embraced her, dipped her and laid the best kiss on her that he could muster. Hyena wanted to put the boy down. Problem was this was just too nice. As they broke apart Xander turned to the Devil and just shrugged with an unrepentant smile: Don't pout big guy. But I am not into Boys."
Devil smiled and twirled on the spot. Xander gaped at the Beauty before him. This female Devil didn't have a red Suit on like the other one but a very short black dress that if she would bend down would have an impossible task at hiding if she were a real redhead.
Devil smiled a seductive smile and said: "Shapeshifter Boy. I am nothing and everything. So if you really want to I can play that game as well. Xander picked his jaw of the floor and laid the same kiss on Devil. She in turn also were quite enamoured with him after the kiss. Hyena and Devil looked at each other and smiled. This could be good.
Xander got the distinct feeling that he was the joke in some play. But he shrugged and just went off into his own place. But before he left he changed the entry way into his domain into a gateway into a third of a lounge. It was decorated in elaborate things and tones. The others smiled at him and mimicked his entry. When they all had done that. Xander stood into the middle and raised his hands. The other looked at him. But soon got the gist. They helped along. The light engulfed them all shortly.
When it died down he could feel those two vixens as separate beings inside his head. They were connected to him at soul level. But should he ever fall over a body or two he could make them go into those. But if the Body would die they would go back into his head. But Xander was a bit greedy. So wanted them for him alone. The Ladies understood perfectly. Why shouldn't they. They were still one being after all.
Briefing-Room …
Major Davis sat there and listened to Xander tell them about his meditation. Of course not all of it. But he only left out the part about them doing some fun things in his mind. That was just too creepy for anyone outside his head. All three had said that.
Major Davis: "So the Hyena is gone and now complete within you along with this new power you have gathered?"
Xander smiled: "Basically yes."
Jack had a frown on: "Your lying Alexander."
Xander didn't let anything show on his face: "How do you gather that?"
Everyone looked over at Jack. He in turn looked direct into Xanders face: "I have been lied to by the best. And you my friend are not telling the truth. I don't know where you are lying. But I just know that you are not telling the whole truth here."
George wanted to berate his 2IC. But Xander just started a slowclap surprising everyone even Jack.
Xander: "Very good Jack. Of course I am lying. I am not going to tell the military what powers I have. They have the gist of things anyway. They will get the gist of things the same way they always get them. By spying on us without even thinking about helping. Heaven help that we could have used their help one time or the other."
Jack looked over to Major Davis who looked like he had swallowed a lemon.
Major Davis (sour): "So you lied to me?"
Xander: "Partly Major. I didn't lie about the last part. You have the gist of things as I see not to be any problem to me. But whatever is going on behind the curtain of the great and powerful OZ is for me to know and you to find out. … And just so we are clear. If anyone of you try anything to get the info out of my head without my consent then you are all in very big trouble. That is of course not a Threat but a promise."
Major Davis began to think. He had held up a hand towards the General for him to not go overboard with the threats. So he kept quiet. SG-1 also was all ears on this situation. Major Davis smiled that political smile he had perfected with the brass which of course didn't fool anyone at the table.
Major Davis: "So we can continue to try and monitor you in anyway we have tried before?"
Xander: "Of course Major. You are after all just doing your job. But I have a promise to keep. Knowing that. Would I be the White-Knight if I would break a promise I have once given?"
General Hammond sat back with a little smile. This Boy would be perfect for the SGC He didn't go back on a Promise even if he was getting into so much trouble just for speaking out of turn. So he turned the whole thing around on the young man: "So Mr Harris. Can I extract the same Promise from you not to speak about any of what you have seen here?"
Xander turned to the General and looked him over: "Sure General. As long as you and your people can come up with something I can tell a paranoid Slayer and one of the best but also one of the nosiest Hackers I know."
General Hammond smiled genuinely: "I am sure we can come up with something. Walter make sure that Mr Alexander LaVelle Harris signs the NDA. Meeting adjourned."
Everyone stood up and left. Major Davis went for a room to sleep a bit. He had a lot of work ahead of him. But being here at the SGC you could get away with some things you just couldn't do in any other place. Xander left with SG-1 to a lab. They all sat down and began to talk.
Jack: "So Kid. You fight everything that hides in the closet or beneath the bed?"
Xander: "Yes Jack I do. On top of that I am now magically induced to be even more on the front lines."
Sam: "Sorry Sir. But I just can't believe this magic you are speaking of. It has to be technology of some kind."
Xander looked the woman over with a critical eye but began to smile again. Sam began to get red and stared down for a second. Xander began to speak again: "Well Miss?"
Sam: "Captain Samantha Carter. But just Sam."
Xander: "Well Sam, Magic as I know it is in fact a form of energy manipulation."
Sam: "AHA! So it must be technology."
Xander: "Quiet!"
Sam shrank back. Xander continued: "Do not interrupt. As I was saying. Magic is a form of energy Manipulation. But it has a component that can not be copied by any machine in the world."
Sam (annoyed): "And what would that be?"
Xander: "The soul and don't say that you don't believe in souls. Because if you didn't have one I would have to take you down hard."
Sam (cocky): "You take me down young man? I would like to see that."
Everyone in the room flinched when Xander vanished from one spot and appeared behind Sam holding a knife he had stolen from Sam's table to her throat. Jack wanted to jump up. But found himself tied to the chair he sat in. Jack wanted to rant but thought better of it. Sam didn't dare to move. When Xander was sure that he had scared everyone enough he dropped the Knife in front of Sam on the table and waved his hand releasing everyone else from their binding.
Slowly walking back to his Chair he sat down again and looked at Sam. She in turn stared at the Knife, up at Xander and back down at the Knife. Sam got her mouth working first: "So you could have done this the entire time?"
Xander just smiled and nodded. He didn't want to let them know that he only had found out about that seconds before he needed it. He just thought that he really loved his girls.
Sam looked over at Xander again and started to really think. Jack saw and made a strategic retreat. Teal'c did the same. Daniel excused himself about something he needed to check.
Sam started up: "So if Technology can't recreate it. I also don't think that it can detect it. But it would be fun to try. But I think I would die of old age if I started on that. But I so wanna find out about that Magic. There just has to be another thing about it. But what can I do? I just can't keep you here as my Lab-Rat as much as would love that. But really all that new Knowledge I could gather from just studying you. That would be sooo nice."
Sam continued to rant and even started to run around her lab collecting things and discarding others. But at one point she ran into Xander looking up into those dark brown eyes that seemed to pull you in. Sam stood there and gaped. It suddenly got a little warmer in the room. Xander had pulled the power from both Hyena and Devil. Sam was mesmerized. She leaned in on him and slowly got closer and closer to him. Suddenly Sam followed her Heart. She darted up and kissed the Boy. Xander was ready for it. So he held her under her but massaging it as Sam held him with both arms and legs. She was really getting hot and bothered. But her military Persona fought against it. It didn't have much against the combined powers of both Xander and her own female that so wanted to drag that boy into a closet and have her way with him. So it settled for a I told you so later on.
Sam slipped out of the embrace and ran over to the door looking it and flipping of the Cameras in her Labs. She then discarded her BDU-Top and pounced on Xander again. Xander first thought that it was over he had stopped using his powers as soon as they started kissing. But by then she was already hooked on him. So he could only hold on for the ride.
Sam was really bothered about their clothes. Xan could tell so he pulled a bit away and pulled down his own trousers. Sam felt it. He had already left his shirt on the floor when she came back. So she also got a bit away and tore the rest of her clothes of. As they were standing there with nothing on Sam got a bit nervous. But it soon vanished when she saw the tool he had in store for her. She jumped at him. He in turn caught her in mid air and impaled her in one go. A simple notice me not spell, combined with a spell that left the room with an aura that if anyone listened at the door they would only hear what the room would normally be like.
So when Sam cried out in full force nobody knew. She bounced up and down on him with a fury. Xander didn't hold much back either. He met her with every stroke. Alex walked over to the Table and let her down on the table. When Sam had a hard surface underneath her she aligned again and used her own pull on the table to go down harder on him. Xander complied and worked her harder. This carnal, savage hungry mating was not going to go long. So when Sam started to convulse around him he grunted and growled and bit on her collarbone and buckled inside of her.
Sam used all the strength she had in her body and her lungs to hold on for dear life and scream out any pain, hurt and trouble she had in her. Sams power left her. She let go of Xander and let herself go. Xander held himself up by the table and looked down at Sam. He knew that he needed to let her go from the pack so she could do her job so he waved a hand over the mark he had made and erased the mark and the thought in her mind on that.
Along with that he gathered up their clothes and cleaned Sam with a spell. Magic when used for selfish reasons was the best. Devil had said that this was the only downside to his magic. But she had already seen in his mind that he knew how to work this into the fight. Now she was sitting in the newly reformed lounge area watching a screen that showed the outside. She smiled at the blissful look in Sams eyes and in Hyenas. Life was going to be good.
Sam was slowly coming out of her blissful state and looked around. Her military mind made a complete 180. She began to pace and think. Xander watched with glee as she had forgotten to put on clothes. So her goods were out for him to gawk at. He stopped her at midpoint where he had sat down on a chair equally not clothed and pulled her over. Sam wanted to resist. But she just couldn't look away. His proud member was standing at attention again.
So she came over and looked at him: "Did anybody hear anything that we did in here?"
Xander shook his head: "No Sam you could go out in nothing but your birthday-suit and nobody would bat an eye. At least as long as you stayed in the door."
Sam got a hurtful look in her eyes. Xander took her face in his hands and made her look at him.
Xander: "What's wrong Sam?"
Sam: "You took away your mark. I could feel it. I wasn't against it. I felt your powers starting this whole thing. But when we started kissing I felt you pull your powers away. But by then it was already too late. I had already started to feel something for you in the Infirmary. Now you took away that which connected me to you even from far away. Give it back Alex. Please give it back."
Sam bared her neck for him to mark her again. Xander was confused for a second then elaborated while kissing her all over the face: "I thought" forehead "that you couldn't do your work" left Cheek "when your mind" right cheek "was with me while I am halfway across the Country" Nose "fighting everything that goes bump and grr in the night." Lips
Sam was in heaven she had found someone that was everything she wanted in a man. Sure Jack was the alpha here at the SGC and flirting was fun. But they both knew that they loved the work here too much to do anything about it. So this was just what she wanted. Now her man was working on her neck again. Her hands had found his member and they had started to stroke it. His growls of pleasure was heaven in her mind. He in turn was playing with her. So she got really up into the heat again.
Xander felt the heat in her body rise again. He already had sent a protective spell against pregnancy into her so they could really go at it. But this time they didn't rush at first. But the heat got more and more potent and they were soon lost to the power. They fucked like rabbits the second time around as well. But after this one time Xander left the mark on her soul. Her body didn't need something for the doctor to find. Sam was secretly delighted.
When they finally had dressed again they sat down and let Xander use his powers to make everything seem as if it was normal. Sam got into the work with his powers. She just couldn't help herself. Xander left her shortly after. He walked into the Mess-Hall with a little smile.
Jack saw him coming and waved him over: "So how long did she grill you?"
Xander: "About 4 Pies and two cups of Jello I presume"
Jack looked down at his part of the table and shrugged: "She also needs to be fed and watered. We have to see about who does that."
Daniel: "I did it the last time. It's your time now Jack."
Jack: "Really? I could have sworn that it was your turn Teal'c."
Teal'c: "No JackO'Niell it is your turn now."
Xander interrupted the friendly banter: "I will do it. After all it was my fault that she can't stop working."
The rest of SG-1 looked at him and shrugged. They had found one that would take her reluctance to get away from her work for the time it took her to eat, shower and sleep. They waved him off. Xander walked up the line and got a selection for both him and Sam. Walking out he turned to Sam's Lab. Under way he was stopped by General Hammond. He stood there with a worried look on his face.
Xander could sense his worry and just smiled: "Don't worry General. She is still all yours. She can do the most damage here."
George smiled and relaxed: "I don't know if this is a good thing. But I will take your word for it."
With that he left and Xander went back to Sams lab. He came in to her working like a maniac on something. She looked up when the door opened. Xander wasn't sure if it was something she did all the time or just because he came in. As Sam saw the spread he had with him she listened in on her own Body and found it lacked something. But it could not do to do this here. But she could eat and then finish the desert in Alex' VIP-Room.
She smiled and patted a chair next to where she was sitting. Xander came over and sat down. Together they ate and chatted. Sam and Xan were interrupted a few times when SG-1 came in one by one. At one point they all sat there talking about what ever came into their mind. When it got a bit late Jack and Daniel left for their own places in town. Teal'c left for his own room. Sam was working a bit more. But when her Mate left she felt the pull. So she steered towards her own Quarters which wasn't very far away form Alex's room. Stopping outside her own room she walked into her own room and made herself a bit more presentable. But then how to get over to her Mate.
She got the word in her mind when he began talking to her: "You can step through your Closet"
Sam opened the Closet and saw Alex's room. Alex was laying on the bed and looking at her. She came bouncing over and jumped on the bed. Sam held back a second. Xander knew what she wanted: "Only when you open the Closet will it show my place. If anyone else open it they will only see your closet."
Sam smiled and dove into the goods. It was the first time they would have more time than normal. At least she hoped it. There could always be somekind of trouble. But she knew of no SG-Unit out at the moment. They didn't sleep much that night.
Next morning Sam sat in the Mess-Hall with a smile on her face. She couldn't seem to stop. Jack and Daniel came in and saw her. Jack looked her over and asked: "Work going good Sam?"
Sam a bit distracted: "Yes jack. I have made some progress. But that about Alexander is still Years away. But I somehow can't stop smiling this morning."
Daniel: "Don't worry Jack. I am sure that she will be back to normal in no time."
Walter came up to them and asked that Sam may accompany her to the General. Sam stood up with a puzzled look on and followed him out the door. Jack and Daniel wanted to rush after them but somehow they knew that if they would be needed Walter would have taken them along.
Arriving at Hammonds office Sam knocked and heard the usual: "Come"
Sam: Yes General?"
George: "Sit down Sam. I know what you and Mr Harris are doing. I don't mind. But you need to come clean with the rest of SG-1. They need to know. Jack will understand."
Sam: "I hope you are right sir. I will do that now."
George: "Good turn around they are all waiting."
Sam flew around and saw Jack, Daniel, Teal'c and Alex. She hung her head and walked out. When she looked into the faces of Jack and Daniel she could see the look that the Cat had when he ate the Canary and got away with it. She fixated her Mate with a look but only got a shrug in return. Jack saved him: "Don't blame him Sam. I am your commanding Officer. I am not blind. I am happy for you two."
Turning to Alex: "But hurt her and you will be in a heap of trouble."
Xander held up his hands and said: "Don't you worry about that Jack. She is not leaving the SGC. This is her life. If she at one point will decide to join me there it will be after we have dealt with these idiots that attacked this place. And yes General. You can count me in if I am not needed on the Hellmouth. Sam knows how to get a hold of me."
Jack looked at Sam. She only said: "He changed the Closet in my room that where ever he is I can just open the closet and I will be able to walk straight through."
Jack smiled. "Well seems like you have to get her one of those in her own house."
Xander rolled his eyes and said: "I haven't made her Closet different. I have changed her. Or rather her Dogtags. If she wears them and only if she wears them she can open any Closet, Door or Suitcase that is big enough for her to go through and she will be where I am."
George thought it over. He then began to smile: "You mean to say that she can contact you where ever you are despite there not being anything on the other side where you are?"
Xander tipped his head left, looked at the General and nodded. George just said: "Could you do that to all of them? Not that they would contact you. But they could always find their way home?"
Xander thought it over for a time. When he looked up he looked into the Past, Present and the Future of one George Hammond. He slowly stood up and let his light flow out over the room. When he had finished he said: "All of SG-1s Dogtags are now tuned to that gate down there. It is only Sam that can find me if she wants to. You guys can only use it once a day. Because they will need at least that long to recharge with the distance you guys usually travel."
George nodded and looked over at SG-1. Sam was happy, Jack looked like he had a new toy to play with. Daniel wanted to go look something up in his books. Teal's was not to read. George looked over at Jack again and said: "SG-1 don't use this willy nilly. You heard the man. You only have one use per day."
Jack looked around and fixated Xander: "Is it one day here on earth or one day on where ever we are."
Xander: "Let me rephrase that. It is once every 24 hours. So use it wisely." SG-1 nodded and went each their own way. Sam and Xander went down to his room to talk. Xander began after kissing the living daylights out of Sam: "I only limited the others for once every 24 Hours. Yours can reach me everywhere I am. Your Dogtags each have their own power. But if you contact me you are using my power direct. So don't fret it. Just watch out when you use it okay my love?"
Sam was in a dreamy state. She shook her head and looked at him, nodded and pointed at the door. Alex understood and waved his hand at said door. He understood that Sam wanted to be loud like the first time.
Weeks went by. Xander stayed on as a Civil Consultant. The General was happy to have him around. Even Jack stayed at least somewhat on his Paperwork. They had one close call one time when Kinsey came calling. Somehow he had gotten word on the newest addition to SG-1. That was just because Sam couldn't leave Xander alone for long. Xander worked in the Base where ever he could find work. That meant Jack would get help with his Paperwork, or Daniel would get help with something he had to translate or just work on. The General had gotten permission to hire him. Even though his age was a bit concerning.
Just turned 17, Sam came over as a bit of a cradle robber. But they somehow had gotten hocked on each other. Now it seamed as if Xander was getting more and more restless. Nobody knew why. Sam said he would talk as soon as he would feel comfortable around them. Nobody believed her. But they just kept him going. At one day Cassandra was on the Base and had found Xander lurking around everybody. She looked at him and pulled him over to the side. Xander didn't want to pull out of her hold and just let her work. She locked them into one of Daniels storage rooms and just stood there looking at him. Xander wanted to run but at this point couldn't hold it in any longer.
They sat there and talked for hours on end. Janet was getting worried at one point. But when she found those two sitting in the Mess-Hall eating and talking she could see that something had happened between them. Alex was calmer. Not by much. But as wired as he had been these last few days she could easy tell the difference. She felt somebody come up beside her and looked over. Sam was standing there and looking at him with that worried look she had on more and more.
Sam: "You know Janet he is still hiding many things about his past. What ever happened from where he came from is so hard for him to speak about. I would like for him to open up completely."
Janet: "I know, you can't rush him in this. But it seams Cassy has made some progress."
At that precise moment Cassy and Xander stood up and walked out of the Mess-Hall with Jack, Daniel and Teal'C walking close behind them. Sam and Janet followed them. Cassy walked straight in to the Gym and saw that two people were still there. She looked nervously over at them. Jack who had seen the exchange between Cassy and Xander whistled once and let those two Gym-Nuts know that they should be somewhere else. Xander didn't move. Cassy looked over at them Jack and the rest closed the door and sat down on the sidelines. They would let Cassy lead. As Cassy saw that Jack didn't interfere she smiled at him thankfully. As she spotted her mother however she got nervous again. But Janet just smiled at her and placed herself in one of the spectators Chairs on the side. Cassy began to speak again with Xander.
Cassy: "Okay there is only a few people here now. They all like you and they all just want to help you. Please let us help. You wanted to show me what happened. So tell me. Tell them. Show us."
Xander looked down defeated and hurt to the bone. When he looked up at Cassy she saw the genuine Hurt right down to his soul. She was beginning to get scared: "You don't have to if it hurts too much." She added that quietly.
Jack and the others began to tense. Would he pull out at the last minute? Suddenly Sam saw the steely gaze settle inside of him. She could see it even from the side. She breathed a sigh of relief. The others understood something would happen. They all didn't hear the door quietly open and General Hammond enter when Xander began to speak:
Xander: "It all started with this new Girl that came to town. I was so head over heal in love with her. I literally skated right into the railing and did a salto over said railing right in front of her. Looking up into that beautiful golden Hair she looked like an Angel. My first words to her were. Can I have you? She didn't respond. She only giggled. I was so in love. She had dropped something that looked like a stake you stake Vampires with like in the Movies.
I walked after her and found her in the Highschool-Library talking with this creepy British dude. He was a watcher from the watchers-council. They talked about Vampires and Magic. I knew I had the Jackpot about all the things I always knew were wrong in my hometown.
From my Kindergarden-Class only 7 of us survived. The rest came too from the outside. So I walked into the Library where the British-Guy started to stutter and make excuses. I pulled out the Stake and told her that she either dropped a Stake or was trying to make the smallest Fence in the world. After that they couldn't ignore what was going on. So they told me and my best friend Willow everything. The story about the Slayer. One girl in all the world choosen to fight the things that so bump and grrr in the night.
Fast forward a few days my friend Willow and my other friend Jesse got kidnapped by the Vampires. Buffy the Blonde was coming with me down there and tried to save them. But only after I yelled at her and accused her of being a coward. She then came after me and tried to make me go back. But I always had a stubborn streak even worse than Jack when he is in one of his moods. So I ploughed on. We came down and rescued Willow. But we couldn't rescue Jesse. A few days later we got information about Jesse being held hostage.
It was a trap. Jesse had already been changed into one of those things. During the final battle with the top minion of the master I had to stake my best friend. The only reason I couldn't call him my brother was the Blood. In every other respect he was my Brother. I staked him to safe a girl I didn't even like at the time.
Fast forward a few years we had saved the world at least twice each year. Now my friends despite me helping out on every corner I could thought of me as the one that could do nothing. I must confess out of all of us I was the one that could do the least. Buffy was the slayer. Willow could do magic. Everybody had something to go for them. Everytime I got something to help out Buffy would try everything she could to take it away. She almost got her wish. But they still fucked it up every single time. I ended up with three Possesions. One Primal Spirit, One generic Soldier and one fishmonster.
The last day I was with my friends was the day I vanished. One of our fighters a Vampire with a soul, lost said soul and turned back to the one he was before. If you look up the scourge of Europe you should read about Angel with the Angelic-Face. What he did made Jack the Ripper look like Mother Teresa. Buffy had fallen for his Soul. She just couldn't destroy him. She still only saw the soul. Not the monster. When it came down to the final part she couldn't kill him. Like all the other chances she had, had during the time he had lost his soul. I was furious with her. I pulled out a sword I had with me and ran at him.
Before that happened though he had opened a portal which was a direct way to hell. It would have kept to grow and grow until it had sucked the whole world into this Hell. I couldn't let that happen. I knew from the British-Guy Giles that the Blood of the one who had opened it had to be used to close it. I could see that Buffy couldn't do it as he somehow got his Soul back. He would again get away with using everyone as Puppets for his scams. I couldn't take it. I ran at him with my sword out. I was sure that with him so distracted I could push him into the Portal. But I overbalanced and tangled my feet in some rope that laid strewn across the floor. The rope tangled in Angels feet to and it pulled us both in.
We both landed in that Hell. I got the last laugh though. He got thrown into the stomach of a very big monster. I didn't see him again all this time I was there. I got thrown into Hell because I was stupid. I stayed down there for almost 25 Years. Time moves very different than here. I killed some monsters while I was down there and took on some of those things they could do. The other Possessions I had gathered in my hometown were being merged in my brain. I now only had two. The Hyena with the soldier-knowledge and the Fishmonster abilities and the Devil. It looked like a Devil right down to the Horns. During the time here I have really come to like all of the people here. But I got careless. I woke up one day and found that my two last Possessions were gone.
I thought nothing of it at first. But then I felt the changes more and more. I can hold this form for almost a whole day now. But this is not how I look. Not any more. I have finally found a woman I really like. She likes me as well. At least as I am now. But will she still like me when she sees how I really look like? I was going to vanish at one point and not come back. I am too scared to hear what people think of me.
One thing I didn't mention was how my parents treated me. Until I was 6 everything was normal. We were a normal Family. Grilling in the Backyard. My dad showed me how to fish. My mother showed me how to make the forkmarks in the Cookies. Then My dad started drink. It didn't start out heavy right away. But by the time I had turned 8 I had learned to dodge Alcohol-Bottles and Bear-Cans thrown by my father when ever I did something that he didn't like. During Christmas I spent my days on the roof of our house just to get out of the rooms so I wouldn't hear my parents arguing. It usually ended with my father hitting my mother and she in turn drink herself into oblivion.
After I turned 7 I never had someone in my life who told me I was doing good. Even in school my teachers didn't give me one word of praise. But people I helped form those monsters at least said thank you. I got addicted to that feeling of people saying thank you. So every time I heard someone crying for help I ran into the fray. The Monsters only called me the White-Knight. I always hated that moniker. And now I have turned into something I can't even look at in the Mirror without wanting to kill myself."
During his rant Xander had forgotten to keep up his vigilance about his looks and had slowly turned into his Devil-General-Form. He had a red tint to his skin. His clothes took on an expensive hue. They looked like something the Devil in Movies would wear. On his head sprouted two horns that were about 12 inches long and 3 inches in diameter at the base. They curved upwards and forwards. His aura had also changed to a being that you should really fear. Even Teal'C who was notoriously stoic couldn't suppress a serious shudder. He couldn't tune that down. Looking at him like that everyone was sure why he was scared.
Sam stood there looking at him. Gaping at him. Xander could sense it. But what he couldn't believe is what happened next. Cassy out of all People walked up to him and took his hand. Sam looked at them. She saw something that really puzzled her. There where Cassy touched his skin his hand turned from the red hue to his normal Californian-Suntan Hue. The next words out of Cassys mouth was too much for Sam.
Cassy: "Please Papa Xander. I can't see you be sad. Come back to us. Too me. You were one of those that treated me like a grown up when I needed it. Sam really needs you. I haven't seen her this happy ever."
Cassy clung to his hand. Xander didn't look. He had his eyes closed this whole time. So when Sam came flying over to them and tried to hug the stuffing out of him he finally opened his eyes and looked at them all. Jack had stood up and pulled the curtain away from the side of the Gym that had a huge mirror. He had a huge smile on his face. Janet was crying silently. Her Daughter had given Alexander LaVelle Harris the honour of being called dad. Sam found that when ever she embraced her man he would turn back into a Human. He was completely human again now. Xander had seen the mirror and seen himself change as Sam was holding him.
When Sam came running over Cassy ran over to her Mother and tried to hug the stuffing out of her. Janet embraced her with glee. Sam let go of Alexander when she sensed him looking more at the Mirror. She knew how his mind worked. She got her confirmation when she felt and saw the changes. His aura would blink on and off a few times. Then it would get stronger and even burst. But it was never directed at anybody in the room. Then he was changing from his human form into his Devil form. The last thing she felt and saw was the complete change from Human to devil along with the Aura. But the Aura began to change. It went through all strong emotions.
Then Alexander turned around in his Human form with a relieved smile on his face. He then looked over at George. He in turn looked like he had just got best gift in the world. Jack was almost bouncing with glee. Daniel was strangely holding a hand on Janets shoulder. She in turn had Cassy in a firm Hug. Teal'C had a small smile on his face and looked on with confidence.
Alexander looked at George and tilted his head. George fixated him: "Listen young man. I will keep you here as a Civilian-Consultant. Pending a few test who will be supervised by SG-1 you will be able to walk to through the Gate when it is needed. I will talk with the President about your Parents. I will not tolerate one of the People working under me to have such unfinished business. We will be taking your Father into custody. Your mother however will be seen if she can be saved. But you are not going back there to those People. You have a responsibility here with Captain Samantha Carter, and Cassandra Fraiser. If something comes up where your input is needed by your friends then you will be allowed to help them. But I strongly compel you to be back in Colorado Springs when ever possible. Is that understood?"
Xander looked stunned at the General for a few seconds. Then his Soldier-Memories kicked in and he Saluted: "Yes Sir, General Sir. I will do my utmost to keep the people here as safe as I possibly can."
George smiled a genuine smile and nodded turned around and walked out of the Gym.
Cassy who had heard it all flew out of her mothers embrace and jumped at Alex. He in turn caught her in his arms: "You hear that Cassy? I will have orders to keep an eye on you. Could you keep an eye on me?"
Cassy was nodding crying tears while smiling all over her beautiful face. Janet came over and looked at him. Alexander studied her for a bit. He then looked over at Jack and asked: "Jack, could you get a pair of Dogtags for Cassy so I can make the same protection on her that you guys have?"
Jack suddenly walked up to Alex and took his hand in his an shook it with all the might he could: "Of course Alex. It would be my utmost pleasure to make that happen."
Daniel and Teal'C came over to them as well and made their own thanks known. As the tearful and thankful reunion broke apart. Only Janet, Cassy, Sam and Alex were walking towards the rooms were Alex and Sam were staying. Janet walked alongside her Daughter and couldn't keep her eyes to herself. She just felt a connection with those two. Cassy was all smiles. She had a Person who didn't treat her as a Kid when things went from normal to dangerous in an instant. When things had gotten a bit hectic at some times, so much that her mother had wondered if it would be a good idea to give up this whole gig just so Cassy would be safe, Alexander had talked to her like and Adult would with another Adult.
Cassy understood that she could be safest either with her mother or with him. When she could choose she would always choose him. Because even if he had that very scary Aura on at some times. It was never directed at her. Even before he knew he could direct it. Sam was on edge. Something was going on. But she didn't know what yet.
They arrived at Alexanders room just because it was the largest. Alexander had used a spell that made it seem larger on the inside than outside. So they could sit there and talk. Cassy could even use a spare bed there whenever she staid on base. Her mother wouldn't want her to stay here all the time. But if she would really get those Dogtags that Alex spoke of then she could be with him whenever she wanted. Or at least when ever he wasn't with Sam. She just wanted to be near him for some reason.
They had sat down and talked about things. Suddenly the question came up about what to do about his friends. Alexander came up with something. He took out an extra Chair and placed it at the Table. He then began to talk with the thin air: "Whistler? Could you or the PTB's spare a moment? I really have something to ask you."
Janet, Sam and Cassy sat there with open mouths when a Figure appeared out of nowhere. He stood behind the Table and sat down. He then began to speak with Alex. The three just sat and listened.
Whistler: "Hello there kid or is it Devil?"
Alexander: "I think I will stay with Alex for now whistler. What's the PTB's take on this?"
Whistler: "Well White-Knight. The PTB's has gotten a little concerned about the slayer. She is getting to big in her head for her own good. The PTB's heard your call and thought that you may have an idea or two."
Alexander: "Get her taken down a peg or two. Make sure she knows that there are People who are willing to help if she is willing to ask. A very real Slayer-Dream would help out there immensely she listens to those. Give Willow a wakeup call about her magic. A real Wakeup Call. Let her know that if she goes on like this she will not go to heaven. She hasn't understood that yet. The others will fall into place one by one. Besides that someone for the other three of SG-1 would be nice. I think I will have my hands full. If things goes as I think they are going."
Whistler smiled: "Just like I know the White-Knight. Always willing to help others more than himself. I was right about letting you arrive here."
Whistler turned to the other three in the room: "Listen. Please make sure that he treats himself better. He hasn't had an easy life. He still has a long way ahead of him. But with your help he will be able to overcome everything."
Sam: "Whistler right?"
Whistler nodded.
Sam: "Well Whistler I really must thank you for sending him my way. I really needed that big Goofball and I will gladly help you with that since it is also my wish."
Cassy affronted: "Hey I will help too. I can help him."
Whistler: "Yes you can young lady. Especially if he really takes you in as his Daughter. He knows the ritual."
Alexander: "Ritual?`what are you up to Whistler?"
Whistler: "Lets just say that if you do the Ritual of Adopting her as your Daughter she will take on your powers and that nasty trap will be history."
Xander instantly shot Cassy a look of utter care and caught Janets hopeful look in her eyes. Whistler then cleared his voice: "The last thing is already in the works. But you will not know that. I want to see the Face on Jack when he sees the Person he will keep on the straight and narrow. So on that note. Toodles."
Whistler vanished leaving their memories blank about the last wish Alex had. But he left them with the Knowledge about the rest. Janet looked hopeful at Alex. Cassy almost wanted to cry. She could be free. Completely free. She joined her mother at gazing hopeful at Alex. Alexander looked at them and looked over at Sam. She in turn also looked with the same hopeful expression at him. So Alex got a little annoyed and asked: "Could somebody please tell me what's going on?"
Janet sighed: "Cassy is not my real Daughter. We found her on another planet. She has a Trap in her DNA. She can't be near the Gate for long. Her Body will turn into a Bomb. When that happens the Gate will explode along with her."
Alexander looked down thoughtful and studied the table very intently. He then looked up at Sam who had a hand on his: "What is this Adoption-Ritual Whistler was talking about?"
Alex: "The Ritual is something I read about. I can adopt a Person as a Child. The Child will not change how it looks. But the blood will change to be half mine and half that of her mothers. If the Child doesn't have a mother a person can be made into that as well. So what Whistler meant that I can heal her if someone would take the part of her mother. She would have to be healthy. Because if she has the same problem the Ritual will be for nothing."
Sam: "Can there be more than one Mother?"
Alex: "Yes there can be more Parents. They will be in succession."
Janet: "One takes over where the next leaves."
Alex: "Yes. A Ritual done by the Vikings so when they went into battle the kids would always have someone they could see as as parents. But they would have to have that Mindset in the child anyway. Usually used by Fathers in that time. But the Ritual can be adapted with Aunts and Uncles. Blood will only be needed from the Mother and Father."
That news stunned all of them. A Blood-Ritual sounded evil. Cassy couldn't help herself: "It sounds evil."
Sam and Janet gasped but did quiet down quickly when they heard Alex chuckle: "It is only evil when done with evil intent. Magic is 50% intent. The other 50% is how the magic is aligned. The Spell I will use is based on the Vikings. To be precise it is based on the Aisir. The Gods among the Vikings."
Sam: "Gods? As in real Gods?"
Alex: "Yes Sam real Gods. Meaning, it they don't approve it will not work."
Seeing the downcast looks and the three Females he quickly elaborated: "The Power that Be said to use this. So even if I am now something I shouldn't be it will still work. The powers that will be transferred to Mother and Daughter will be up to the Gods."
Janet became thoughtful: "So you are saying that you can only start this procedure. But the outcome will be up to somebody or something that no one has seen or heard of in Millennia?"
Alex nodded with a little smile. Janet continued: "I want to do this with medical staff on site. The General needs to be told as well."
Alex, Sam and Cassy nodded. They all knew how the Military didn't like all this Magic Mumbo Jumbo. At least the thought they knew. So when they came into the Generals Office the next morning and proposed the Ritual the only thing George said was: "Use the Empty Storage Room on Level 26. It should be big enough. I have read in to what goes on in the Dark. Alexander Harris, you will need to teach some of our Soldiers how to handle Vampires and other things. Go easy on them. I don't need injured Soldiers who should be on duty."
Alex saluted and said: "Yes Sir."
George looked at him amused. Sam and Janet couldn't help a smile. Alex elaborated: "My Soldier-Memories are showing. Can't help my self Sir."
George nodded with a smile and looked them over once: "Dismissed, Call when you are ready. I want to see this myself."
They nodded and walked out the Door. George for his part piked up the phone an called the President. The President was already waiting for the call: "George, has he already begun to throw Magic all over the place?"
George: "A few spell here and there. Nothing too big. The Big one is going on later today or tomorrow."
President: "Really? Do tell?"
George: "He has a spell that can heal and empower Dr Fraiser and her Daughter."
President: "You do know that by doing that you will stop being under the full care of the Air Force?"
George: "No, but who is then going to look us over?"
President: "By one me, another is a very few of the Brass in the Pentagon. Kinsey will be the one on top. At least until he screws up."
George who had continued to look over his Desk suddenly found a Note with all the appropriate stamps and notifications on it. He looked it over and found it to be Info on one Robert Kinsey and proof on his doings in Sunnydale with the Trust and Initiative. This could break his neck. The President heard the lack of speech on George's end and asked: "What is wrong George?"
George: "Sir I just found a Document containing Info and Proof about Kinsey. This is going to break his neck Sir. My guess it is on behalf of our local Magician."
President: "Does it have what it need to be legit?"
George: "Everything but your personal Sign Sir."
President: "A Currier will be by within 24 hours. He will carry the usual. Do not give this to anyone else than the one that can show you the needed Info in the appropriate manner."
George: "Yes Sir. Good day Sir."
President: "Good day George."
Hanging up George put the Paper and the accompanying folder in his Safe and locked it. Walter came in and looked the General over: "You need rest Sir."
George: "I know. This is going to be one of those days. I will go home. Make sure nobody comes in here without me being here."
Walter: "Yes Sir."
George went home a bit early. But he was sure that he needed the rest. Walter looked the Generals Office and went back to work.
In the wee hours of the Morning someone tried to sneak in to the Generals Office. The Person opened the Safe and looked inside. Not finding what he searched for he looked it again and left. The next morning a surprise in form of the President along with Robert Kinsey who looked positively smug came into General George Hammonds Office. He in turn stood up and greeted them both Kinsey stood there with that smug look and looked on. The President came out: "General Hammond. Your Info had better be good. Because it is not everyday that we get fool proof evidence about a Senator.
George: "Yes Sir. I looked it over yesterday. It doesn't look good for Senator Kinsey."
Kinsey: "We shall see about that General."
George turned around and pulled out the folder and the Letter from the other day. Kinsey looked like he had seen a ghost. The President looked the Info over with a critical eye after sitting down in the vacant Chair of one George Hammond. He in turn stood side by side with Robert Kinsey who was sweating like mad.
The President looked up after a few minutes and said: "Senator Robert Kinsey. You are hereby arrested on treason and several other charges. You will be escorted to a secure facility through the Gate. Do not try to resist."
Robert Kinsey stopped sweating and started ranting: "My spy told me that he didn't find anything in that Safe this night. I don't know what kind of game you are playing here General. But I am going to make sure that you are punished severely for that." Kinsey kept ranting he didn't even register that Airmen along with Teal'C hauled him to a cell. The President looked over at George who just shrugged. Walter knocked and had Alexander LaVelle Harris in tow. George and The President let them come in. Walter left Alex standing there.
The President started: "Please tell me this is not something that he cam turn around?"
Alexander was a bit stunned but caught himself quickly enough: "No Sir. This is info I had on Kinsey while I worked in Sunnydale. Sam helped me get it from Servers across the world. The only thing I did was put a notice me not Spell on it. Means that if anyone with harmful intent wanted to find it they would find the place empty."
President: "Useful. Does this only work in here?"
Alex: "No Sir. It is on the documents themselves."
President: "We will talk about that later. Thank you for helping SGC and myself on this."
Alex: "No problem Sir. This Guy creeped me out the first time I saw him."
President: "Dismissed Son. You have a ritual to prepare."
Xander saluted and vanished out the door.
George looked over at the President: "Sir I would believe that you would have sent the usual Currier."
The President stood up and approached George: "I wanted to. But Kinsey found out about it and told me all kinds of lies. This needs to be sorted out George. Starting with SGC. Before we can go official with the other countries we have to have a secure foundation."
George: "Understood Mr President. Do you need accommodation?"
President: "I have the feeling that your Magician has already done something in that regard."
The President pointed out the window. He there saw the Presidents Security-Guard have a serious conversation with one Alexander LaVelle Harris. The President and George came out of the office and addressed the head of security: "What going on Mr Banning?"
Banning: "Sir this man has made and extra Wing here in the SGC. After talking to us he changed it to our specifications. I can now safely say that this really is the safest place in the world for you."
President was astonished: "Will there be enough place for me and my family?"
Banning: "To be blunt sir. You could play football in the atrium."
The President, George and Banning all looked over at a slightly tripping Alex: "My powers work best if I use them selfishly."
President: "I don't see how this is using them Selfish."
Alex: "With all due respect Sir. But if I give you this, no one will mind if I change somethings to my own specification. Besides, the space will not change. Your area is still only a small room."
Banning: "Will it change back?"
Alex was confident: "No Mr Banning. Once done. My changing-spells can not be undone. That is why I have to careful in what I do."
President: "Good enough for me. Son, make sure to put your Ritual on a decent time. I could use some rest."
Alex: "Will do Mr President. Cassy is not due home from School until later this afternoon. We have scheduled the Ritual on 1600 Hours."
The President and Banning looked at their watches. Banning because he wanted to make sure that the Area where the Ritual would take place was policed.
Everyone went their ways. George held Alex up: "Are you sure that you are not pushing the envelope to much with all this magic?"
Alex: "Not at all Sir. But I will keep it down for the others if you are concerned."
George: "Please do that Alexander. We do not have Magicians of our own. We still need to establish Rules and Regulations about this."
Alex: "Then you tell me if I am allowed to do so."
George was relieved: "You can go about your duty in your own room. But don't let others see it."
Alex saluted: "Yes sir. I am off sir."
George saluted back with a smile: "Dismissed Son."
