Chapter 5
We had quiet for the most part 20 years now we need to step in to help a few people out on earth. Like Jack keeping his son from accidentally shooting himself, then George Hammonds wife's cancer. How are we doing all this? Simple we devised a better time machine than Janis, I still think his parents were hoping for a daughter when they named him that.
The kids fell in love with the British tv show Doctor Who and said we had to make it look like the Tardis! It was a tricky build! The hardest part was making it look like it was made from wood. But with the same material that stargates are made of? It will take a beating without our shields and keep going. The pocket dimension on the inside is big enough to fit our biggest city ship and have room for more.
We even made the flight controls look like the one from the Tom Baker years with the circles on the walls, remember? It was about the time he had went to E space. Before that it was the key to time he was looking for with Romana. But I also liked all the flight control rooms they had ever had in the old or new shows. But the walls in the control room are like our alpha and defiant shuttles, it is like a space bubble and we can see everywhere around us.
So, if we are too late for either we can travel back in time and administer the cancer treatment and save Jacks son. But hopefully we won't need to. There are several of us going on this adventure, Bella wouldn't miss out on this neither would Jasper. The kids wouldn't let us hear the end of it if we left them behind. The Tardis has all our tricks-built in. we can step out of time, travel in time, realm travel, step out of phase, and shrink.
"Okay kids let's go check to see if we are early or god forbid late."
"Yes, let's go check on Charlie. He is the most important of the two, Martha we can travel back in time to administer the cure to her. It's kind of hard to repair a gunshot to the head." Bella said cringing.
"Okay kids let's see if you can fly this baby like we have been practicing." I say even though I know they can.
"Dad you know we are just as good as you! Now let's go and save some lives." Our daughter Carlie is the most out spoken of the kids.
"Okay, we go check on Jack and Charlie first, we have the address from tapping into the database?" I ask, and I get nods from everyone
"Here we are, since we don't have an exact day and time, we may have to camp out here." Jasper said eyeing Jack, he doesn't like that he would leave a firearm out for a kid to get ahold of.
"Well, I say we leave a couple here then a few of us can go check on Martha and George." Bella suggested.
"I think that is a good idea Bella. Whoever goes needs to have medical download to know what to do for Martha." Jasper said hinting.
"Fine I will take off and check on Martha, so who is coming with me?" I ask, and I get Carlie and Bella and three of my boys. Oh, and my Furling protection detail, yes, they were finally told of our rings and necklaces. We told them we wanted to make sure everyone was okay with us before we brought out our big secret. They were fine with our reason and said they would have done the same.
When we got there, she had already been taking the nasty cancer treatments that they administer. So, we travel back to the day before she finds out she has cancer and step out of time and tell her what is about to happen.
"Now Martha we can give you the cure, but you and George can't tell anyone about us."
"Yes, we can promise that we will keep this just between us." Said George hugging his wife.
"Are you aliens? To have such impressive abilities I mean." Asked Martha making us chuckle.
"Ah, no we are from earth but from another realm. But we did get our hands-on alien knowledge to further all our understanding." Bella said while I gave Martha the shot.
"Yes, I can see where that would bring about the cure for cancer. What else can you cure?" George asked curiously.
"Just about everything you can think of George, that also reminds me. Your daughter will be getting into an automobile accident soon, she doesn't survive so on the day she is planning to have fun with her friends? Talk her into spending time with you or something." I say
"You have mastered time travel also?" George asked now more in the need to know if you are a threat kind of way.
"We are no threat to anyone George, I promise we don't muck about with time it makes things more complicated. And, we had time travel before we were introduced to the alien tech."
"What? Really? How can that be possible? Your human right?" Martha asked looking us over making us chuckle.
"Yes, we are human well I am part. My father is a person who could travel to different realms, my mother was also a special human. We are in fact sorcerers, I traveled thirty years to my future to meet my mate, and we traveled five hundred years to our past to train with a master sorcerer." I mention as I hold Bella.
"So, you can also do magic?" Martha asked excited.
"Yes, and we can do something about your age, would you like to be eighteen again?" Bella asked grinning.
"Oh boy would I! what must we do?" Martha asked almost jumping up and down, if Jasper had been here, he would have been too.
"Well, if we do it now it could screw up the time line, we actually came backward in time to treat you before you got really sick. But give it a few years and we will meet again, then if you both wish to be younger? Then we will make you an offer to join us, because if you were to stay you would probably become a pin cushion." I say with George nodding.
"Your right about that part, there would be so many people after the gift of youth we wouldn't be left alone." George said looking ill.
"Well, in the not too distant future you will get a call from Jack telling you to come over. If you do you could see us again and we might be able to shed a little light on things to come." I say as we get up to leave.
"Okay, we will hopefully see you soon, and we will keep in mind about our daughter. And thank you!" Martha said hugging us.
We went forward in time and was watching them as they did prevent their daughter's accident. We then went to check on Jasper and the rest of the kids and their stakeout at Jacks house. We get there just in time for us to stop the accident! I bust thru the door and run past Jack who was just coming in from the back yard from starting the grill. I get to Charlie just as he is about to trip and fall with the gun in his hands.
"Hey now buddy, we shouldn't be touching dads' gun when he left it out. Even though you were only taking it to him? You never touch a gun without an adult with you." I say as I hold him as he realizes what could have happened while Jasper holds back Jack.
"Hello Charlie, I am Alexander, but everyone calls me Alex. And the guy holding back your dad is my brother in everything but blood Jasper."
"Hello, how do you know my name? and how did you know what would have happened to me?" Charlie asked as I hand the gun to Jack.
"Your pretty smart for your age kiddo. Let's just say we are special and leave it there for now okay? Jack if you want more then call George Hammond he will come over if you call." I say he nods as he hugs his son and puts the gun in his holster.
It takes an hour and a half for George and family to show up, they greet us like we were long lost relatives. We then sat everyone down and tell them our story, all of it and the part about their life is a television show in our realm didn't sit well with them. But they were more inclined to believe us after what they each had witnessed. Then we introduced them to the Furling, they were shocked to meet an actual alien!
"Just why did you help us son? It would seem you could have just as easily sat back and watched our lives fall apart?" George asked
"Because you two and a couple more are the key people to keep earth out of trouble in the coming years. Now we have removed most of the stumbling blocks or tech that was left laying around to cause you harm and earth. I am not saying there isn't still dangers out there, because trust me there is always a danger to traveling to the different worlds."
"So, you say we will get to travel to other worlds soon? How?" Jack asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You are a few months away from finding out yourselves, but to give you a heads up. It is in Cheyenne mountain right now at the bottom of a missile silo. You just need the help of a one Dr. Jackson to figure this thing out, now since I told you about it you can't go and tell everyone that it's a doorway to other worlds. That will just raise questions you will want to avoid." I say, and they nod.
"I would imagine that it would be a suicide mission for me if I had lost my son tonight? Then there are other people on other planets that could wish us harm? Then why even bother with it?"
"Because if you like it or not earth will be found again, and you will need to get your feet off the ground and build your own space fairing vehicles off the ground. Now I am not saying everyone you meet is out to cause you harm, but there are still a few that may try to take advantage of you. Also, if you would make sure to use a dialing device not a jumped-up computer program to use the gate? It has safety protocols that prevent many of your misadventures." I tell them, and they looked perplexed at first.
"How did? Oh, never mind I forgot our life was a tv show for you guys. But tell me if we manage to make a difference?" Jack asked.
"I can't tell you that now, since we changed your future so much. I am not saying everything will be different, somethings will unfortunately remain the same. Like the greed of certain organizations here on earth will try to gain control of the stargate." They nod slowly as I tell them.
"So, will you be around to keep an eye on us? What if we get into trouble and we need your help?" George asked in general mode now.
"I figured this would come up, we cannot help in every case. But we may be able to help in others quietly, we aren't ready to let everyone know who we are and where we are and that we are back." Gray put in making them look up at him.
"So, in other words our life is in our hands? Just like normal? Cool I can live with that! Unless you show up it must be bad right?" Jack asked
"Yes Jack, and then again maybe not. We could just be dropping in to say hi and see how you are doing." Bella said grinning she liked Charlie he was sticking to us like we were his favorite aunt and uncle.
"Yes, it would seem we have been adopted into your little family by Charlie." I say chuckling making them chuckle.
"We could live with that, so were you the ones that brought Dr. Ernest Littlefield back from his first trip thru the gate?" George asked
"Yup, I am glad he stuck to the story we came up for him to tell everyone. Or else you would have got it to working too soon and been mixed up in a civil war that just about involved the whole galaxy." Jasper said getting their attention quickly.
"Civil war? Is it still going on? Just how dangerous will it still be?"
So, we go into detail on the Goa'uld and what they are about and what they look like. I had seen them cringe on several occasions, the worst was when we told them how they take over a host. Our meeting ended up out back grilling some food and drinking some beer. I said if Jack thought what he was about to do was daunting he should join us in realm jumping. He was seriously thinking it over and asked if he could get back to us on that one.
We wrap up our visit around midnight and George asked if we were serious about offering them to come with us? We informed him if he wants? we could take his whole family, we do have the room after all. Jack perked up then and said are you telling me you were serious? We all nodded, and he said we will let you know when we know for sure earth can stand on her own. We nod and say that is understandable and vanish in a flash of light when we beam on to the Tardis. We stick around and listen in to their conversation after we left, they can be trusted is what we learned.
"Well, that was fun, and they did a great job casting the actors of the two of them. I kept wanting to ask if Jack likes the Simpsons that much? But the answer was staring at me from the shelves of videos of the Simpsons." I say chuckling Jasper nodded while chuckling.
"I felt the burst of humor and it was all I could do to keep from breaking out in chuckles you're an asshole." He said between chuckles.
"I am not it was all I could do to keep from busting up right then and there! But what really got me was how much Charlie clung to us even after we introduced ourselves." I say making Bella grin
"He was adorable! We have to come back to visit him at least."
The next couple of months was boring watching them go about their daily routine. But they didn't say one word about us or the near fatal accident with Charlie. They did call Daniel in and he figured it out in less than three days. Thankfully they are using the dialing device and the computer is for keeping track of what each address has. Sam was a little put out her computer wasn't being used to dial the gate at first then we stepped in and explained about the safety protocols.
We had to do the whole group, but we took them to our new home planet. They were stunned by the two garden moons we offered to terraform their moon after they get going on their program. Sam was beside herself asking questions about how everything worked. We just smiled and said you will find out eventually on your own. We then let it slip there is a ship that was left behind by the Goa'uld that when they are ready, we will tell them where it is and how to get to it. Sam was ready to get the thing to work before Daniel was brought in.
Out of the whole group Charlie was having the most fun in seeing spaceships and we even launched a city ship just for him! The others were in awe of the sight until we told them the one was Atlantis. So, if anyone was trying to find it? Well, here she was. We didn't mention the outpost we took off the planet. We kept them for an entire weekend, so we had to behave and wear clothes. Or try too, the kids had no problem about running around naked in front of our guests. They were shocked at first but eventually joined in, so we did too. We spent a lot of time out on the beach and George and Martha asked about the youth we could offer. We said it wasn't time unless you want to answer some questions you wouldn't want to answer.
It was after that Daniel got the stargate to work and they went to the same first planet as in the series and Daniel ended up married to the same beautiful girl. After the success they held back anymore trips before they had a program put together. And they had to go back to get Daniel only to get a surprise of him being a father. When we had mentioned what could have happened, they made sure they stayed on earth as much as possible.
The Tollan visit didn't happen like it was supposed to because we stopped them from giving tech to their neighbors. So, of course they were put out they didn't give them any advanced tech. But they moved on and kept making friends on many other worlds. And they had to win some of their own little battles some of wit and some of guns. But we had to let them stumble and catch themselves for when the NID tried to take over they were ready.
When they met with the free Jaffa nation they were surprised when they went to a private meeting and we were there also. We grin and nod at them it was a first time Daniel had met us. But he was excited to not only meet one of the ancient races but four! The Nox, Asgard, Furling, and of course we were there. It was only the select few who knew about us could attend. They were filled in on our role in bringing down the false gods and helping them to fight against them and getting away from the need of them for survival.
"I am sorry Jack, but you knew about them before you had the gate working? Why didn't you just figure it out without me?" Daniel asked.
"Because they needed you on the team to balance out the whole program, you're the voice of reason and you never hesitate to speak up. Plus, you weren't ready until you hit rock bottom and would take any job that paid well." I say to him kindly making him nod.
"Okay, but if you have been fighting a civil war for the last thirty years? Why do you need to insure we are off to a good start?"
"Daniel! They have helped us when you weren't looking, sometimes just a heads up. Or, sometimes they help us out in other areas. It's not always Sam that gets us out of tight spots." Jack was trying to tell him.
"Yeah? Well why am I just now meeting them? I have so many questions about everything." Daniel said sounding like a kid who didn't get to have a second cookie.
"Well, now you get to meet them, and you are acting like a baby. I bet if your nice they will take you to see their world." Jack said smirking Daniel perk up!
"I will tell you now Daniel we will offer you the same as we have done for Jack, George, and Sam. In fact, we could make it a weekend!" I say making him and Sam almost drool!
"Seriously? Cool I could go for some more of your cooking! Oh, and the freedom plus Charlie misses you guys." Jack said smirking
"You were there? With your son? When? I mean when did you meet them and get to go to a different world?" Daniel huffed
"It was a few months before we met you Daniel, and we promised to keep all this a secret. Well, not this. This is a first for us also." Jack said
They agreed to have Teal'c join their team and give firsthand experience on several worlds and what to watch for when Goa'uld are trying to get past them. The weekend went as expected it took them a little time to get used to teenagers running around naked. Well let's face it we are still looking eighteen along with everyone of our little family that came with us. Some because of their vampy side, others just because of their inner dragon. They were shocked to see George was already there when we arrived. And they were in love of our ships, and wanted to know everything, they got irritated on some things when we just said magic. Until we demonstrated magic then they sort of understood why we said magic. But not really.
The visit was great, and we showed them Atlantis and her sister ships. We did create a new command deck like we have on the alphas, she was very excited when it was finished! The questions were nonstop even when at home with most everyone naked. We answered what we could and held back on other questions that they need to get there themselves. It was brought up that we weren't from this realm and how is it any of our say in what we can tell them? That was when Gray stepped in and said as far as they were concerned, they could be some distant relation from our realm for DNA markers we carried in our genes. That calmed them some, we offered to let them meet other survivors from this realm. When they did, they told them if their old high counselor was still in office, we wouldn't have stepped in. that shut them up right quick when they realized that we were giving them. We even introduced them to Merlin and Daniel was like excited to meet someone from their history. Then, he realized that wasn't possible for a normal person and he was too young to have been an old wizard.
That is when we told them of ascension and that when they died, they can ascend and return with a fully healed body at any age. Daniel was trying to wrap his head around that little piece of information. Then he asked if it was only for our race? We said no it wasn't if your aware of there being a higher plane of existence and you can achieve enlightenment then it's possible. That seemed to have calmed them somewhat.
After the visit we stood watch over earth and they had some difficult times and they did have their share of improvements to their tech. Sam, Teal'c and Daniel we informed them of the hidden ship then handed over the arm band and key. It took Daniel several days to figure out where to look, Teal'c had to fly it back to base for them. And word got out about the secret program that was allowing them to travel to other worlds. So, we make the offer to terraform the moon and they said go ahead it will give them something to aim for.
We took a week to terraform the moon and we watched the news from earth and they were all shocked that there were in fact aliens out there more advanced than them! That kicked them in to gear to work together! That was when we met some of the world leaders and told them we were watching and have seen them at their worst. But they need to work on their own problems of working together. After that we see a massive improvement in the population across the world.
We offer to give George and Martha their youth back. They said only if they could bring their family with them also. We said when we offered that they could come with them, so we set a date for when they would turn in notices and get things in order. Jack, Sam, and Daniel and families also took us up on our offer, after they were sure the program was in good hands.
It took another three years before they were ready to join us after they had two prototype ships done. The Asgard gifted them with some tech that they could reverse engineer and understand. Our group also gave them a better understanding of naquadah generators and hyperdrives. Well we didn't give it to them they had to work with someone to learn about how to get more out of everything. They took my redundant systems to heart, so everything had tripled. And it saved them on more than one occasion.
Today we have told our friends we are leaving to travel to the next realm and see what waits for us. This is when everyone turned in their notices and was gone before the night was over. It's a good thing too, there were armed forces that went to their houses to question them. We have everyone board our mothership, which has our new arrivals in awe at the size of her. Once everyone is off the planets we move outside the system and we begin the difficult procedure. It was a lot of math and head scratching to come up with what power we needed to use to pull this off. First, we make a pocket universe on our doorway, then we transfer everything in the system into the pocket dimension. We had to have it without gravity for this to work correctly. The tricky bit was making the doorway be able to work on the planet instead of in space. But we managed to get it just barely. It took us an hour to pull it off, but when we did everyone was stunned silent you could hear a pin drop that was how quiet it was.
"Capture was a success! Everything looks stable and all the critters don't seem to know what happened. Everything is stable the star isn't showing any signs of change neither are the planetary alignments." Atlantis said breaking the silence then everyone cheered.
"Well, now that we know we can do it? Are you ever planning on doing it again?" Jasper asked, and Merlin perked up.
"Only if we must, and it would be up to the council if we do it again. But this proves they were behind us because they didn't object to taking our home with us." I say, and they all nodded.
It took all day to sort thru who was going back to the planets and who was staying aboard the mothership. We named her Isabella for my mate and the fact she is a work of art. We had to explain the dragon mating rooms to them since we neglected to tell them about that side of us. Jack was all for following in our path and so did little Charlie, though he must wait till he is older. But he can begin his other training with us. George and Martha were just happy to live in peace with their daughter and granddaughters. Though I did hear Martha asking George to consider it for the sex! He looked ready to commit then! Sara and Jack also were ready for a better sex life and the possibility of even more kids now that they were back to eighteen.
We stuck around for several months just to watch the goings on in the universe, earth astronomers did notice the missing star, but little was paid attention to it. We were happy with the way things were going so we set the day to go on to the next realm. But Bella wanted to try going back to our realm and see what came of our family and if things were like here a stargate at the south pole and an outpost. If so, did they find the stargate in Giza? Or was there one? What happened to the ancients did they make it out in time? Or did they stick around?
When we left, we didn't have a big party, we did have a meeting with the Nox and the Asgard. They wished us good journey and told us to return if possible and visit and tell them of the different realms we discover. When we were ready, we shrank Isabella as to make the portal smaller, and we went thru to discover we had only been gone several days. This excited Bella! We could travel all we wanted and come back to us only having been gone several days. We surprised them by beaming in and inviting them to see our new ships. They were all like hell yeah!
The tour was long, and they asked many questions about the ships, all Charlie wanted to know was if we were staying safe. Then we showed them our star in a bottle, and typical Charlie asked, where the fishing gear was? We all chuckle at him and opened the garage/storage/workshop and he grabbed all of us poles and the tackle box and said all right where is the best fishing spot! In all this Jack gets invited along and hit it off with Charlie right away.
They spend a few weeks with us and several decide after hearing of our time away from them they were sorry they missed it. So, they were coming along this time since they knew I could take us back home if need be. We also bought more supplies for us then we got busy investigating if the ancestors were as setup here and if we have more cleanup to do. And we didn't, something happened that they didn't setup the extensive gate system here. The outposts there were some but not as many, there wasn't any big cities or the labs.
"Let's go to Pegasus and see if they were there also. They had to have been there or where did they go? We did see a primitive device at Dekara. But nothing much anywhere else, what forced them to flee so early I wonder?" I ask to the room at large.
"I agree, let's go to Pegasus and see what if anything is there. What became of Atlantis?"
We scan the galaxy as we leave and find several races, but no Nox. We then decide to go to Ida first to see if the Asgard can shed some light on what could have happened. When we got there? It was only ruins with only a handful of cities remaining. We send down a hologram and ask to speak with them of what had happened. They started to refuse but then decided we should know what happened all those years ago.
"Well, its official I really hate the Ori! They didn't wait as long to send the plague, and they came and knocked any race with the ability to fly to other stars into the stone age! But they missed our ancestors when they came here, they had fled to Pegasus possibly."
"Then let's go to Pegasus then, the alpha gate is still on earth with the outpost. And with your high DNA they had to have come back thru the gate at some point, right?"
"Agreed, hopefully we don't have another space vampire to deal with, again." Jasper said not liking the thought of them things.
When we leave the Asgard wish us well and hope we will avenge all the races they destroyed. We said we would be looking into it soon. It takes us a few hours to get to the Pegasus galaxy and we start seeing more remains of Alteran cities. But thankfully no wraith! We then send out ten patrols to look for any survivors or anything that could explain what happened here. We then find Atlantis or what was left of her, we manage to get enough of her computer banks to work to put the pieces together.
"The Ori somehow found them after they had built up an amazing civilization here. Then came back and tried to wipe them out again, there were several thousand that made it to Atlantis that used the stargate to go back to earth. The Ori was unaware of the alpha gate was still on earth, or maybe not and are just waiting for them to get to a certain point?"
"I say we throw one of your epic surprise parties for them!" Gray said
"Yeah brother, let's throw one hell of a party for the fuckers!" Jasper hates bullies and these asshats are the worst.
"I am in total agreement guys, we just have to wait for our patrols to come back and report in."
It was a few days later they returned and neither looked happy about what we found out. They did report that there were several planets about where earth is now in tech wise. Most seem to share in our DNA as much as me or are full blooded, there were very few Furling. We agreed it wouldn't do them any good to try and help them, they were after all doing well on their own.
Once all ships were docked, we shrank and went as fast as we could push the ship to get to Ori space. What we found shocked us all, the race was all but wiped out, but the Ori ascended was also few in numbers. We didn't even ask we set off the weapon Merlin devised and ended the ascended Ori. The human or the race of Ori had fallen into not even surviving a tragedy. From what we could gather several had issues with wiping out any life that had advanced tech. So, they had a civil war and destroyed each other.
We then left not liking the feeling of not having someone to beat the crap out of. So, I headed to the gym with several others and they had the same idea I had! Time for some sparring! Several hours of it at least, then make our way to the med bay afterwards. After everyone had worked thru their tension we headed back to our rooms and I made love to my Bella all night. We didn't come out for three days as most people didn't either, that had a significant other that is. Though I heard that many had hooked up just for release, we may have some unintended babies soon.
Oh well, we went back to earth, so our family could go pack what ever they wanted to bring with them. Then they all had the download and meditated afterward for a few hours. Then they had training to learn how to use our tech, so we aren't always having to send a baby sitter with them. Charlie is glad to be back together, even though he had only seen us a few weeks ago to them. We decided to chill out here until we go to the next realm, somewhere we can use our magic for a change! We shall see what we will get into soon enough!
