There is the possibility to combine the two.

Write your own story to the challenge too.

Previously:

O'Neill gets in his car and is off. Traffic is low so he shouldn't take too long to get to his house.

Perhaps if he's fast enough the muffin with the smarties is still there.

.

.

Now

Jack O'Neill pulls up next to the car from the Sheriff. He gets out, walks over to him and asks: "Hi Steve. Great that you called me. What do we have?"

Sheriff "Steve" looks at Jack and smiles.

"Jack. They didn't try to break in or steal something. The woman didn't even go near the windows and the one time the boy tried to look through the window, she called him away. Even when he looked, the boy looked more curious than spying. Like a kid looking at a rock star or a football champion. They have been sitting there and talking. First they have been eating sweets. I know that bakery. It's on the other side of Colorado Springs. It's really good but if you aren't there early, you won't get every sort. They even had cinnamon rolls. They must have been there early. The bakery opens 6:30. A little while ago the started to play cards. The boy had them in his jacket. They have been at it since then. Except the table and chairs outside they hadn't touched anything that is yours.

You should have heard the woman when the boy was looking. ' Privacy. His home. Invitation.' I could hear her next to my car.

The woman is 1,80 meter, blue jeans, boots, military jacket, earrings. The boy is a teenager, 1,50 meter, crème jacket, sport shoes, black jeans or trousers. They don't look like homeless persons. They behaved. Do you think you know one of them? You female neighbour talked to the woman. She said she is Elisa. They seem friendly. Do you want some help or should I just wait?"

" Just wait for the moment. I will take a closer look and talk a bit. Give me five minutes and I will decide if you get to get a package from me. "

O'Neill walks over to his house and around it. When he's near enough he says:

"So. How do you like my chairs?"

Their heads wip around. The teenager eyes get huge. The observation with the rock star wasn't so wrong. Light brown eyes and hair. The girls smiles. She looks a bit older up close. Long black hair, blue eyes, athletic build. Practical shoes. Military jacket. Not a simply military jacket. No. It's the same style like the SG-Team uniforms. There is even a empty space for a patch on the shoulder he can see. It's interesting. She relaxed at seeing him and than tensed up a bit again.

"I have 2 questions. Who are you? And 'Where's the muffin with the smarties?', O'Neill asks and smiles at the end.

She starts to smile bigger and answers: " Let's start with the easy one. The Muffin is in the bag. There are other sweets in it too. Dig in. I'm Elisa. The vibrating teenager over there is Martin. Your turn. "

"My turn? I thought you knew me. That you came to the house for a surprise visit?"

"We know you in a way. This is our first meeting. Let's do it a bit the normal way."

He looks at both of them and decides that it won't hurt him.

"Colonel Jack O'Neill. With two L's. There's an other one with one L. Did you search for him?"

Both of them are openly smiling now.

"No. We wanted to you. But before I tell why we're at your house, you can search us for weapons or get your gun from the house or somewhere. We won't hurt or attack you. You might want to keep others out of our talk. Do you know if this place I'd bugged?"

He tenses a bit and puts his hand into his jacket. "What do you want to talk about that would interest the Sheriff or someone to bug you?"

Elisa answers: "I meant that you could be bugged. I want to talk about where we come from and that we need help. But before that, let's talk the Stargate, about Teal'c, Chulak, Jackson, Ra, the Asgard. Should I go on?"

With each word he tenses up. Someone talked. When he gets his hands on that person. That will be a worse dressing down than the one Teal'c got today. He can't pull the Sheriff into this and the teenager doesn't seem dangerous. The woman put her hands on the table. 'She know what she's doing.'

"Don't move.", he tells them. He walks a bit back without taking his eyes off them and calls: " Sheriff. You can get back to the station. I got this."

"Have a good day.", the Sheriff shouts to him and starts the car.

O'Neill goes back to them and pulls his gun: " Who are you?"

"Hey. You aren't supposed to do that. ", the teenager says. " Don't move.", Elisa tells him.

She turns to the Colonel: "He is 15 and doesn't get it yet that the good guys sometimes has to do that to check first. Go ahead and check. I wasn't lying when I introduced us."

He nicks and orders: "You seem to know what to do. So stand up, show me what's user the jacket and turn around." She does. Than he turns to the teenager: "You next." Martin repeats what Elisa did.

He points the weapon to the ground.

"So. You aren't armed. Who told you about this things? You have no idea how dangerous this is for you."

"Trust me.", she says, " I have a pretty good picture of our situation. Let's say that we did something like you and your team did in 1969. If you think that I somehow read something about it, than how about something you definitely didn't put into a report if you wrote one. You got help from two hippies in a colourful VW. The cars weren't stopping for Carter. So Teal'c stopped the car. He stood on the road. When you wanted to tell the male hippie about the future, Carter stopped you. When they heard you talking, you told them that your aliens and fired with the zat into the campfire. "

Colonel Jack O'Neill is just starring at her.

Quite a good feeling.

"You shouldn't know that. You aren't a spy? NID? They don't know that."

"Perhaps now you will see our problem and trust us?"

He holsters his gun and steps next to the table.

"OK. What is going on?", he asks.

The woman points at the teenager and starts explaining:

" That is my 15 years old neighbour Martin Costa. His mother let him stay at my apartment for one day to watch DVDs. We like the same TV series. But I guess, it isn't simply TV show from now on. We ate, watched the TV and that was autumn 2014. "

"2014? Shit! ", he says.

" It gets worse. We went out on my balcony at 23:00 to watch fireworks. A mall had something that day. We are watching the sky. There was a brighter light. No. It wasn't an Asgard beam. The next moment the shy looks somehow different. There was just something off. You know what I mean? I looked around and both of us stood on a sidewalk. Where my apartment was, was a park. Before us a private fireworks brought from a shop. It was around 6:00. We walked around and found a bus stop which doesn't exist in our city. There was the newspaper from today. The year was 2002. But that's not it. The headline is about some politicians neither of us knew."

"The politicians doesn't has to mean something.", he says while we takes a deep breath.

" No. That wouldn't. But the law. I had a school project on that law and both of us remember that that law was voted against in our world. In this world the law was passed and that is shit. Double shit."

"That would mean that either the time thing changed or you are from a different Earth. In the other world. Did we know each other?", O'Neill asks.

" It's the second option. We didn't know each other the way you think. Remember the TV series I mentioned? The name of the series is 'Stargate SG-1'."

She let's him digest that.

He shouts: " A TV show? For crying out load, a TV show? Who would watch that?"

"Its actually really popular. If some idiots wouldn't have cut the money on this and the other series, perhaps filmed one or two movies less and used than movie for more seasons, it would have been more popular than the sci fi movies Teal'c likes to watch."

"That's popular.", he says, " You're angry at them." It wasn't a question.

"How would you feel if tomorrow the President would tell you that the programmed is cancelled and the gate gets deactivated. Wouldn't you miss it?"

A cold shudder goes over his back at that thought.

"Not a nice thought." "No. It isn't."

"So let me get this straight. You are from a different Earth where the Stargate is a TV series. You are from around 12 years in the future."

They nick.

"Could it be that there's a Stargate in your world and the TV show is just a cover?"

"No. I doubt that. The actor who plays you looks like you. You just have more laugh lines and scrapes. Your house is the same. That's how we found it in the area. The story from 1969. I doubt that in that world there's a real Stargate or aliens. So you know about that stupid TV show in this world which cover the real thing? "

"Yes. So you decided to come to me?"

"At the bus stop there was a map. I knew we weren't in Portland, Oregon but in Colorado Springs. I read the name of a market I knew from the show and I looked at my jacket. I thought that it would be easier and better to check it out, than to go to Oregon. We got lucky. Both of us had been wearing our street clothes and I had my wallet with money in my pocket when this happened. We would have had to walk the day to come to your house."

He looks at them very closely and decides to trust them and their story.

He sits down on the table and looks into the bakery bag.

"Sweets. The Sheriff said this bakery is good. When were you there? "

"It's really good. Try the cinnamon roles. We were standing for 10-15 minutes at the bus stop when the bakery opened.", she says.

Martin says: " Try the donuts with the dark chocolate. They are bitter and sweet."

O'Neill bites into the chocolate muffin with smarties. He smiles.

"OK. I'm happy. So. Do you have some idea how you can get back to your world?"

"No.", she answers and Martin shakes his head. " If we get back his parents will think that I kidnapped him or that we run away."

"Just tell them or the police that your were kidnapped."

"Good idea.", she says.

O'Neill relaxes and asks: " So. How old are you and do you do? I assume Martin is still in highschool? "

"I'm 20 yeas old. I finished school in Europe when I was 16 and started university there. I finished when I was 19 and came to the USA. One parent is European the other American. He wanted me to go to European school because they are better. After studying Astrophysics for a year, I agree with him. I wanted to try America for the experience and because I wanted to spend some time with Indians. I mean the Native Americans. "

"What did you study in Europe?"

" With 14 I had what would be considered a US highschool degree, with 16 it would be something like US beginners college or the first and second year at college. Than I started at 16 a Bachelor degree. That's like the senior years or bachelor years of US university/colleges. Depending on the subject even half of a US master degree. And they are a lot cheaper than in America. Even if I would have had my own apartment at 16, I would have payed in that 3 years the sum of money which I payed for one year in the US. The education is either just as good or better than in America. "

"Good to know. So. What did you study?"

"What Jackson has. Stones, broken vases, old countries and structures."

Jack blinks and starts laughing. A loud deep laugh.

He keeps laughing.

For a few seconds.

"That was good.", he says with a big smile.

" So. What you told my neighbour about a bonus and a vacation was a lie."

"No. I really had one week free. I didn't get a typical bonus but the boss gave me 200 $ extra. I work a translator and sometimes help in a restaurant."

"What's up with the military jacket? It looks very close to the SG-uniforms."

Elisa gets red in the face while Martin snorts.

She says: "You know that they a things for things like sci fi, superman and comics? There are some for Stargate too. I usually don't go to something like that but I was near it and the actors who play your team and others were there, so went. They had uniforms or just single pieces to sell and a lot of things where trash like zats or staff weapons made out of cheap plastic. The uniform jackets were good quality, in my size and they embroider the name you wanted on the name tag. It is a useful thing. It wasn't like I was throwing money away and I just wear it sometimes."

"Sometimes?"

"Hey. He wanted to wear it when we watched TV and he was still wearing it when landed in Colorado Springs. I like the jacket but I would have put my black leather jacket on over it. And a big backpack full with things. And more of my money. "

"You decided to embroider the jacket with ' E. O'Neill ' ?"

"Don't laugh." She pulls her wallet out, takes her ID card out and puts it on the table.

" My name is Elisa O'Neill. Two L's. "

Jack O'Neill stares at her and her ID card. His mouth is slightly open.

"That's cool." He's grinning like a idiot.

He looks back on the ID and sees one of their problems and says: " You can't use this. Even if you would be in the system, you would be an 8 years old and the card gets printed in 2010. "

Martin says: " I have the same problem. Do you think we could somehow get new ones?"

Elisa adds: "You want to bring us to General Hammond? Somehow he or the SGC could help us with identities but I'm worried about the NID and others like them if they find out about us."

O'Neill says angrily: "NID. I would like to put them on a planet without an Stargate. Don't worry. We will manage new identities. I will have to think of something for the NID. We will hide you. And some extra things."

They eat more sweets.

Elisa O'Neill looks at Jack O'Neill.

She asks: "What do you want us to call you? Colonel, Colonel O'Neill, O'Neill, Mr. O'Neill or?"

Colonel Jack O'Neill answers: "O'Neill or Colonel O'Neill. You could just call me Jack."

Both smile at that.

" Since we have knowledge about the future or a possible future, we have to keep quiet about it. Martin. That means you won't tell someone that they will be a couple in the future or that they fit good together or that you know about their feelings. " Martin nods.

" Jack.", Elisa tests, "It would be good to find out where in the timeline we are. Your neighbour said that you haven't been home for 3 days. So what it?"

He thinks about it and than tell them: "We had a mission on a planet. When we came back, Teal'c didn't come through the gate. He was stuck in the gate and we had to get him out."

"48 hours.", she says. Martin shouts happily: " Rodney! You met Rodney."

Jack asks: "You like him?"

"Both of us do.", Elisa tells him, " Rodney really thought that Teal'c was bodily dead. He doesn't care that Teal'c is an alien. For him a Jaffa is the same as a Tau'ri. He likes to say things about stupid persons but he would protect them if something happened. He acts arrogant. Part of this arrogance is a mask. The other part is most likely real arrogance but he can back both parts up. He will rescue your bodily life and to a big part Earth. There are things I can't tell you about the future. But the past.

Rodney is to a big part like this because of his parents and sister and your government. When he was in 6th grade he built a fully functioning atomic bomb. Usually pupils in 6th grade are 11 or 12 years old but Rodney was so smart that he got pushed up. He was most likely 7 or 8 years old when he built it."

Jack interrupts: "OK. OK. He's smart. What has that to do with it."

"Jack. When he built that bomb the CIA interrogated him. A 8 years old boy whose doesn't get protected by us parents or his country. They simply let the CIA take him and interrogate him. And you should know that there are many forms of torture that don't leave something behind or can be explained away. "

Jack O'Neill becomes very still.

"You see what I mean?"

"Yes."

"His parents didn't know what to do with him. He most likely felt like a burden, perhaps was even neglected partly or pushed away. Perhaps they even told him some negative things. Perhaps his parents knew what to do with his younger sister after him or he helped her but she was liked. She is a bully to him but he still likes her. They just had to threaten his parents or that his sister could take his place if he doesn't do things or just tell him that he is just worth something if he does this and that. Or poison him with a drop of lemon. And than tell him that he should tell them the things they want to here.

When he was 12 and decided that he would do science as a hobby and become a musician. The teacher suddenly tells him that he doesn't have feelings in his music. He was 12. Most don't have feelings like that at 12. That wasn't a coincidence. When he was 12 he was most likely was in his last highschool year. And when the bigger older teenagers who are 16 years or older stripped him of his trousers and underwear, what went through his head. 16+ teenager who had had their puberty and are often sexually active strip a 12 years old boy naked from the waist down. Rodney most likely thought that he gets raped in school. They put his underwear on his head and made him eat like that. His sister will degrade him in the future, if the same things happen. She comes on a military base and the first or second thing she does is degrade him. After 15 seconds there. To the soldiers who have have Rodney's six who's trust Rodney has to have and the other way around.

She systematically is going to destroy trust there. Like she would do it like ticking off a 'To Do List'. She ripped the few friends he got away from him. She couldn't feel good herself when her brother had 2 or 3 friends. She called and will call him names that make him literally flinch. Two of this friend saw him just as a weakling after she was there. "

Elisa looks at Jack. He is very still. So still. There are may emotions on his face.

"I'm sorry.", Elisa says. He looks at her: " For what? "

"For hurting you. That I started ranting like this." She looks down on the tabletop.

" It's fine. It's better that I know this things. He hides his hurt behind his mask. How accurate is this? ", Jack says.

Elisa says: " Some things are directly said like this in the series, other things I puzzled together. I'm quite good at this. So the accuracy should be very high. You could dig a little deeper in his files. You could read between the lines. That should give you a partly picture of it."

O'Neill deeply breaths out and asks: "There's more, isn't there?"

"Yes. Let's just say that when he says that persons stole his ideas etc., he isn't lying."

Elisa stopped talking. She is quiet.

Jack thinks.

He says: "What do you plan on doing now?" Jack changes the topic.

Martin and Elisa look at each other.

Elisa answers: "We didn't plan for this." She grimaces. "Could you point us at a nearby, cheap hotel? It's 10:00 in Colorado Springs but in our world it would be 4:00 in the morning. "

Colonel Jack O'Neill looks around.

"You can stay in my guestroom if you promise not to bodily kill me in my sleep. There's enough place for both of you. I haven't had enough sleep either. General Hammond doesn't want to see us back on base for 48 hours. We can talk after we have had some Shuteye."

O'Neill stands up from the chair.

Martin and Elisa stand up as well and walk to O'Neill and hug him.

Jack O'Neill opens the door and shows them his house and the guestroom.

Jack, Martin and Elisa go to bed.
