Jack O'Neill opens the door and shows them his house and the guestroom.
Jack, Martin and Elisa go to bed.
.
.
17:30
Jack wakes up in his bed. He takes in his surroundings. He is still tired but at least he doesn't feel like sitting down and sleeping in a car seat. This morning he stayed awake until the two kids were asleep. When he was finished in the bathroom, the teenager was asleep. He must have been tired after staying awake for approximately 28 hours. Jack smiles at that thought. He sort of liked these two. Elisa O'Neill. O'Neill with two L's. That was a surprise. A nice surprise. She says what she thinks. She's interesting. The way she moved showed that isn't military but she understood that he had to point a gun at them. Mostly her. He doesn't like to point guns at kids. Martin didn't understood that he couldn't simply smile and not check. She told him to get his gun from the house. She would have actually waited, sitting at the table, until he would have come back with his gun. She was asleep 5 minutes later. He was happy that he could go to sleep. His bedroom door is still locked like he left it. They hadn't tried something either. He will have to do something about his guns. When Martin was in the bathroom, he collected his hidden guns. When he meet her on his way to his bedroom, he thought she would be scared or worried but she just grinned at him, understanding that he wasn't arming his bedroom against them. There was sadness too. But it wasn't pity-pity and it wasn't there for long. Jack think back on what she told him about McKay. He was right. McKay has a mask. A mask agast pain. He tries to keep everybody away so that that won't get attached and hurt. He is waiting to get degraded and hurt. Even with just half of that McKay had shit in his past. He will have to look out for agents and look into his past. The agency doesn't know about the SGC. The president wouldn't let them do that anyway. It doesn't matter which country, you can't trust a spy. Especially not with Aliens. A cold shudder runs down Jack's back. If McKay really rescues him, he will take him out to eat and say some nice things to him.
Time to get up. He's getting hungry.
He would be hungrier if Elisa hadn't brought the sweets for him too. They really made his day better. He's actually looking forward to Hammond's face when he sees them.
After O'Neill uses the bathroom, he expects to find his kitchen empty and them still asleep but he finds Elisa sitting quietly in his kitchen. "Martin?", he asks. " Still asleep. ", she answers. "Good Morning " "Good Morning.", she says, " If you want and have the ingredients, I could make pancakes. I didn't look into your cupboards. I know privatcy is important. "
"I know. The Sheriff told me how you didn't let Martin look into the house through the windows."
"Sorry."
"No need to apologise. You can look into the cupboards. Go ahead. Just don't start snooping or go into my bedroom."
She opens cupboards and says: "I will tell Martin. He didn't go into my bedroom either. Or some specific cupboards. But he will ask questions if he gets to curious. You have everything I need for pancakes except enough flour. Do you perhaps have grounded nuts or semolina?"
"A big bag grounded hazelnuts. Left cupboard. It has been there for years. It's old.", Jack answers.
Elisa gets to work. O'Neill makes coffee. Strong coffee. He sets the table and gets butter and sirup. She flips the pancakes.
Half an hour later. She is finished. She brings the pancakes over and sits down at the table next to Jack. Martin slowly walks out of the guestroom and Elisa calls: " Bathroom. Than Pancakes." Jack laughs.
"I'm not his mother and he can be mature. If he smells food or is half asleep, he acts differently. Pause And perhaps. He might act differently when he meets your team and some others. A bit like a female teenager and a boy band. I should talk to him about not saying something to Kinsley. I would like to kick him in the balls. "
Jack had to laugh at the boy band thing and swallowed the bite. He laughs and snorts at the kicking remark.
"I would like to do that too.", Jack O'Neill says, " This pancakes are really good."
"Sorry. I didn't ask, if you wanted something specific. "
"No. This is good. You can make than again when you want to. But I won't say 'No' if you make chocolate chip pancakes or add chocolate chip to this hazelnuts thing."
"If you want to. Tomorrow morning?", she asks.
Martin sits down at the table opposite them and says: " Morning. "
"Good Morning." "Sleep well?" "Yes. So. It's real?!"
"Yes. How are you?", Jack asks.
" Something between wanting to jump up and down and screaming happily, and sitting still with a big smile. Pause And a bit homesick.", Martin answers.
They eat happily together and talk.
After they are finished, Martin collects the dishes and starts to wash them without the others having to say something.
"We should go grocery shopping today. It's 18:45. I don't have much in the house.", Jack says. He adds: " Perhaps some basic clothes to change and toiletries too."
"That would be a good idea.", Martin says.
Elisa gets her wallet out and sets it down before O'Neill. " Could you check if the bills are ok? I couldn't really ask in the bakery or bus. I was just happy that they accepted it."
O'Neill checks the money and looks at her, asking permission with the look. "Look through it.", she answers. He searches through her wallet. " Hey. One more coffee and you get a slice of cake for free.", Jack says and gives her the wallet back. She takes out 50 $ and gives it to him. "For the groceries.", she says, " We should pay a part too." He gives her the money back and says: "Use it for clothes you want to buy. I will cover the groceries and toiletries. Keep the receipts. Perhaps you get lucky and you get something back. Now. Hurry up. We leave in 10 minutes."
Jack likes that she wanted to pay a part. Someone else wouldn't had thought about money. She understood that he wanted to look through her things. It was a show of trust. He is ready to leave in a few moments. She stands next to him 5 minutes later. While they are waiting for Martin, she looks at some pictures. "That's a big fish.", she says. " Fishing trip two years ago.", he says. She looks at the other things around her and thinks.
"Ask.", she says.
" What?", he asks.
"We know so much about you and what you do but you don't know much about us. Ask what you want to know? "
" It's strange that you know so much about us. Will you use it against us?"
"No. I know what to say and what not. You know. With you and Carter." He stiffens and asks: "What is with me and Carter?"
"I talked to Martin before we met. He knows not to say or mention anything about that. We won't interfere with you two. When you get together, we will be happy. I don't think that what I said will change the future but just act like the two of us don't know about your feelings."
He nicks. He will be the same to Carter.
He will be the same to Carter.
He asks a lot of questions about her and her past. Martin walks to them. They get into the car and he drives them to a store. In the car he keeps asking questions. Martin answers many questions too.
In the store they buy different foods and drinks. Later they go to the store on the other side of the street. They buy underwear, socks, pyjamas and shirts. While Martin trys the two shirts on, Elisa asks Jack: "Can I actually wear this jacket or do I have to get a new one?"
"Without the patches it is fine. You will need a wardrobe if we can't get to back. If that happens, you can buy something then."
She nicks. "I left the patches in the guestroom. I took them of when I thought that I could be in your world and hid them."
"Good thinking."
They drive back to the house. Martin read a book. Jack and Elisa watch Simpsons.
Jack asks: "You like the Simpsons?" "Yes. It's relaxing. And you need a special sort of intelligence to understand it."
"Hey."
She turns her head to him. "I'm serious. Intelligent persons don't get it. You have to be smarter than that to get it.", she says.
" Smarter than intelligent persons?", he says and smiles.
Later Jack orders pizza for them. They eat. Martin goes to bed.
Elisa and Jack talk for a while. She goes to bed. A few minutes later he goes into his bedroom and sleeps.
The next morning
Jack and Elisa wake up around the same time. When he finishes with his shower, Elisa makes pancakes. This time there are hazelnut pancakes with chocolate chips. Jack makes coffee and cocoa. He sets the table.
"Should I make bacon and eggs too?"
"No. The pancakes are good like this. Pause If you or Martin want some, go ahead."
"No. You're right. It's better without."
They eat in silence. They stay at the house that day. Martin reads and watches TV. Elisa reads the newspaper and is outside with Jack. Jack fishes. Elisa watches him and enjoys the sun. It's relaxing.
They have soup around midday and strew later. Jack and Elisa watch Simpsons again. Martin plays with his cards and builds towers with cards. Later Jack, Martin and Elisa play some card games. They play poker without a pot. She gives the Colonel her patches.
O'Neill calls Hammond about having a briefing tomorrow.
They go to bed.
.
Next morning
They eat. Jack tells her to wear her jacket. They drive to the Cheyenne Mountain. O'Neill gives Elisa her patches back and says that he wants to see how the personnel will react to her. And he wants to have fun and see the faces of SG-1 and General Hammond. They get out of the car and walk to the soldiers at the entrance.

10 minutes earlier
SGC, Briefing room
General Hammond, Dr. Fraiser and Major Carter sit at the table. The Major tells him that she will need today to check the gate and dialing computer. Teal'c enters the room and sits down silently. Jackson enters next. He carries coffee and a folder.
"Good Morning.", Jackson says, " General Hammond. I have saw the footage of Tue planet we want to go next. We really should check it out. The ruins look like we should find something there."
"Of course. We will talk about them when Colonel O'Neill is in the room. Did one of you see him today?"
"No." "No." "I did not." "No."
"That's strange. He called me yesterday evening. He wanted to talk about something before talking about a new mission."
"Perhaps I should start.", Dr Fraiser says, " Teal'c is healthy. His stay in the gate didn't damage him."
"Thats good."
"I don't think I'm needed anymore. I will get back to my desk." Dr. Fraiser leaves the room.
"It is unusual for O'Neill to be late.", Teal'c says.
A phone rings.
General Hammond answers the phone.
" Sergeant. Pause Good. Send Colonel O'Neill down. He should come directly to the Briefing room. Pause WHAT? Pause Fine. Let them in. Pause Understood."
General Hammond dials a number and talks a bit.
He sits back down at the table and rubs his head. He looks at Teal'c, Carter and Jackson and says: "That was the gate personnel. Colonel O'Neill just came. It looks like he is bringing two guests. Unauthorized guest. It looks like they are part of the reason why the Colonel wants to talk to us."
"That's unusual for O'Neill", Teal'c says.
" It's going to be interesting and important if Jack would do something like this." General Hammond nicks. A Airman enters the room and the General says: "Go ahead." "General?", Major Carter asks. " Bugs.", the General answers her question. Carter and Jackson tense.
The Airman finishes, finds nothing and leaves.
"It has to be sensitive if Jack wants the room searched.", Dr. Jackson says.
A few minutes later Jack enters the room. " Good morning. "
The General says: "Good morning. Colonel. An explanation would be nice. And where are the guests?"
O'Neill looks to the door. The others look to the door too. A teenager is standing there with wide eyes. "Colonel." "I have good reasons. General.", O'Neill says, " Martin come it." The teenager comes in and shyly says: "Hi." O'Neill blinks at the shyness. He turns back to the door and says: "Come in."
A young woman enters the room. She isn't shy. She doesn't hesitant. She is confident. She looks each of them in the eyes.
She is wearing a green SG-1 uniform jacket.
Hammond, Jackson, Carter and Teal'c stare.
Hammond turns a questioning look to O'Neill. Carter sits up straighter. Dr. Jackson keeps looking between the woman and the teenager. Teal'c gets up one eyebrow.
"Good morning.", she says.
General Hammond looks at them and nicks. " Take a seat."
They sit down. "Colonel. Would you explain?!" Colonel O'Neill nods and says: " Two days ago. When I got home, I found this two in the backyard of my house."
"The bulgars?", Jackson interrupts, " The phonecall from the Sheriff?"
"Yes. Turns out they weren't burglars but something else." "Perhaps you should start at the beginning and add why she is wearing this jacket.", Hammond says. The woman takes off the patches and gives the to O'Neill who looks at her. She nicks. The Colonel says: " It would be better if Elisa starts."
The woman says: "I will make it short. A little bit more than 48 hours ago I and Martin who is my neighbour were on my balcony in Portland. In autumn 2014." Major Carter interrupts: " That is not possible. " "Major. Could I keep talking?", Elisa says. " General. ", Carter starts. " Major.", he stops her. Elisa says: "We were in 2014. And then we are on a street. It turns out we are in spring 2002. In Colorado Springs. In the Stargate world. I guessed we could be in this world. So. I tried to find Jack."
Jack says: "A neighbour called the Sheriff about them. I got there, we talked and had brilliant sweets." He turns back to Elisa. "And you're taking me to that bakery." Elisa smiles.
"Than you traveled back in time? Through the. How?", Carter asks. " Yes and No. We did travel through time but not from your future. Not from this world. We are from a different world. We didn't use the Stargate." They stiffen. "Colonel?" "No. I didn't tell them. They knew before meeting me about the Stargate programm. General. They aren't lying. She told me details about 1969. Details from the past that weren't in the briefing."
Silence
"Could you explain how you know that details? And how you know that you're in a parallel universe."
"Different world. Not parallel universe or reality. The two world as aren't connected like the different reality or universe you have encountered. It's separate. In that world. There are no aliens. No symbiots on Earth. No Senator Kinsley. I checked. No alien advanced technology. No real Stargate." SG-1 furrows their eyebrows.
She continues: "Does one of you want to say it?" Martin shakes his head. O'Neill shakes his head smiling. She continues: "In that world. Your missions, the Stargate. They are part of a TV series. A show on TV. We know the things because we watched it. The details from this world and the series match. Jack and me compared some things yesterday. Before you say something, we did it in a way that didn't really give me information about the programme."
"What? A TV show?", Carter says.
" And movies.", Jack adds.
General Hammond says: "The Stargate programm is a TV show? How much do you know? How many watch it? What about your jacket?"
Elisa answers: "Yes. A lot. The jacket. I sort of brought it. There was this thing near were I was and I sort of thought 'why not go there if it's I the area?'. I wanted to buy something but I didn't want something useless. The jackets were good quality and I could choose what I wanted for the name tag. A lot of persons watch it. It is quite popular." She laughs t that part.
"Wait. You didn't say that we have that many fans.", O'Neill says.
" So. It is very popular? ", Hammond asks.
" In America and worldwide. There are countries where one channel stops airing it an other one starts to air it from the beginning.", Elisa says and smiles.
"There are videogames, books, comics, movies, persons who dress up like persons or races from this world, fanfiction and meetings from fans. You have sci-fi fans in this world. It is a bit like that.
There's a Cheyenne Mountain there too. Many fans went there. They search for the SGC. It got that bad that the military darkened the windows. The got a strong military door. They wrote Stargate Command on it and exchanged a different for with it.", she says.
They stare.
" You got to be kidding. What was behind it?", Jack says.
"Closet. Broom closet.", she says.
Jack laughs. Loud.
Dr Jackson snickers. The General smiles.
Major Carter says: "Can you proof it?" Elisa answers: "You were happy that you didn't get hugged by Ernest." Carter grimaces.
She turns to Teal'c and says: "Bra'tac said to you that you should oppose the symbiot. He did it while fighting you or training you." "Correct.", says Teal'c.
" Dr. Jackson. Pause ", Elisa says.
After a while Jackson asks: " You don't have something for me?"
She answers: "I do. But things that I think about would hurt you. We actually watched your first year in the Stargate Command before we went on the balcony at my home. In Portland.
Pause
Ma'chello. You should have got a big bill from your bank. He payed and ordered a lot at the restaurant or the eating place. You know that time you get a Pause sort of simulation. What you would do if you had the knowledge of a symbiot. Moscow. And Jack had to shoot you. Jack. Don't worry. Jackson had a shield and wasn't hurt. And that Jackson wasn't acting like your SG-1 Jackson. So. Do not compare the real Jackson to the things that the Simulation-Jackson did."
Elisa looks at the others. They nick. They know their friend. They know that Jackson isn't that person and that he wouldn't do that things.
Elisa turns to the General: "I'm sorry. There isn't something. You have grandchildren."
Hammond says: "That's fine. I think this was enough proof for the moment."
Dr. Jackson asks: "You know about our missions. Just the past or the future too?"
Elisa smiles and pushes Martin's shoulder. Martin answers: "Yes. Parts of it. But we can't tell you. Elisa said that we can't tell you about some things even if it hurts." Teal'c takes his arm from the table.
Jackson says: "Why? You could warn us or tell us where to find important ruins. We could learn so many things."
"And you would become stupider. There's the thing with the timeline.", Elisa says.
" How could we get stupider with more informations?", Dr. Jackson asks. "That is something I would like to know too. Major Carter?", General Hammond asks. " If they are from a different world, than they aren't in our timeline and the timeline wouldn't chance. The future would change from the one they have watched on their TVs.", Carter answers.
Elisa says: "The butterfly effect. If we change something, it will change other things. That would mean that some things could completely change. They could become better or a lot worse. For example. We would warn you from a wound or a forest fire. The SG team would go earlier or later to the planer or different team would go. It could result in the bodily dead of 4 persons because we didn't know that Jaffa were there that day.
If we would warn you, than you wouldn't learn from your own mistakes. The things you did, that hurt you, made you happy and other things gave something to you. Would you be the same soldier you are today with your skills if you hadn't fought, bleed, been kidnapped or other things. What would have Kinsley done if you would have brought more weapons to the planet? What would have Hathor done? You understand how to build airplanes because you learned it from the beginning. You know that putting a nail there or 10 cm left from it have different effects. If a few hundert years ago, you would have got an alien medicine that heals illnesses, than there wouldn't have been a reason to study or finance the penicillin study. Without that. No penicillin, no other antibacterial medicine or things from that or things learned from that. If that alien medicine doesn't function anymore? Than you are in shit. If you would have got energy weapons in the past, that you wouldn't have your P90s. You wouldn't have a weapon which destroys things that other weapons can't. If I would have told you about Hathor, than you would have either send a female team to Mexico or shot her at the SGC. But you wouldn't have increasing the females on base. The way it happened. You understood and put more female on this base.
There are exceptions. For example. You found out how to reprogramme an alien machine which you need to use to help a person. It doesn't function. The problem is that you have to turn one stone around. And you would find it out 1-2 minutes before the person bodily dies and you needed 6 hours to find it out. Than I would tell you it after 5 hours. If I would have told you about Ernest, you would have went there. Without the storm you wouldn't have been able to return for a while. You wouldn't have been able to go on different missions. It could have been that Ernest wasn't even in that castle thing because he was out hunting for a week. When Ernest would have come back, he could have heard you and run away from you. If you hadn't opened the gate or that female soldier wouldn't have been kidnapped, you wouldn't have known about the symbiots. What would have happened with Hathor? If the General wouldn't have seen your faces in 1969, would he have put Major Carter on SG-1, or asked if Dr. Jackson is still somewhere or accepted Teal'c without questions? If you hadn't contacted Thor because of the damaged thing, would have Jack been able to contact them? Perhaps their gate was deactivated and they activated it because they thought that you might contact them in the future. "
Hammond says: "So. You can't help us? But. You have knowledge of classified information?"
Martin grimaces. Elisa isn't tense. Elisa looks at the General and says: "No. Yes. And. Yes. Pause We can help you and we will but not in the amount you would want. What would you do if you were back in 1998 in your 1998 body with the knowledge you have now? Yes. We have classified information but you don't have to worry about us giving the information away. It would be good if nothing about this TV show, different world, future knowledge thing would be part of a report. It would be good if you wouldn't tell anyone else. Martin. I mean you too. No hinting. No telling. You don't want the wrong persons to find out." Martin nods.
Elisa says: "If somehow something gets out, I will say that I get visions of possible futures. That way they won't be interested in you."
"But.", Martin says.
" No.", Elisa says, "I know you aren't a little child. You are mature. But I won't let you get in more danger. What do you think would happen if the NID or someone else finds out? This way I'm in danger. You're smart but I can spot a trap better than you. Perhaps we find a fast way into Pause Portland."
She turns to Hammond and asks: "General?"
"The idea with the visions isn't a bad one but does something like that exist?"
"Yes."
The General says: "I would feel better if the NID doesn't find out about this. We will have to come up with a cover story. Later. Major Carter. What do you think about the butterfly effect?"
Major Carter says: "If she just has one version, than what we change will effect the rest. It is better if we don't know our future or we could change it. Technically. It is possible."
Dr. Jackson says: "It still could be a big help. If we knew who we can trust, or who we shouldn't trust. Or just to check if we are right with something. How much of the future do you know?"
Elisa says: "We are in year 5. That's season 5. The single episodes. Pause Sorry. The single episodes don't have dates on them. I have to approximate."
While she talks, she puts her hand on Martin's knee and left hand. She tips and squeezes them. Martin knows that she want to do something. She isn't going to tell them something. Martin will play along. He is good at poker.
Elisa says: " Something between 6 month to 18 month. The last episode that aired was about a medicine. Something with it is wrong. Major Carter. You will want to try it out. Don't do it. Jack stopped you on the show but if he doesn't in this world, than you can't take it. It's worse than earth drugs. Don't push medicine away. There could be important things you find before this episode happens. Just don't take them. They where others filmed but the studio cut the money. They said that there's an episode about a ship and something about a special form of replicators. Sorry I can't tell you more. Is that enough? I know it isn't much but it's still worth something? Isn't it?"
They buy it.
O'Neill knows that there's something. But he trusts her. He trusts Martin. Partly.
"We will have to think about it. Six month or more will help us very much."
"What do we do now?", Martin asks.
Teal'c says: "Perhaps you could tell us informations about you."
Dr. Jackson adds: "Yes. Where are you from? What do you do in your world?"
Major Carter says: "What did you study? Or. What technology does your world have?"
The others turn to Jack O'Neill. He says: "Don't look at me. They let me ask a ton of questions in the last two days. I know how they take their coffees. I know that Martin likes broccoli. I know that Elisa likes to watch the Simpsons. We both like the Simpsons because we are very intelligent." Carter rolls her eyes.
General Hammond says: "Add your name and age to your introduction."
