"are you stupid or stupid?" – Episode 8 Chapter Text

"Well, for starters, she's crazy." Daniel said to Jack who had just asked him what he thought of Vala after getting to know her better.

Jack chuckled and saluted Daniel with his pint of Guinness. "Teal'c says she likes you."

"Indeed I did O'Neill." Teal'c said from the other side of Daniel. He was wearing a black suit and black shirt with a black bandana covering his forehead, his now long hair poking out from underneath.

"Is this some kind of intervention guys because really… it's rarely a good idea to date coworkers."

"Seems to have worked out for Carter and me." Jack said reasonably.

"Oh, happy anniversary by the way. I'd have gotten you guys a gift but we both know it's really for Sam so I didn't bother." Daniel said unironically.

Jack smiled a little into his beer.

"I wish many more happy years to you O'Neill." Teal'c told him.

"Hell of a way to spend my anniversary. At a bar in DC because my wife is chasing space aliens."

Daniel smirked.

"Back to you dating one though." Jack quipped and grinned wider when Daniel winced.

"I do not understand your reluctance Daniel Jackson."

"Well… There's that thing about her being crazy."

Jack shrugged though. "Carter seems fine with crazy and you two are a lot alike."

"Jack, no offence but if I wanted to date you I'd switch sides."

Teal'c actually laughed at Daniel's comment. "Daniel Jackson I do not believe O'Neill's affections for you lean that way."

"You're both dicks." Daniel grumbled.

Jack chuckled. "Ask her out Danny. She likes you."

"She also likes petty theft and bombs. What's your point?"

"Well, she's also smart, funny, hot…" Jack pointed out.

"Vala Mal Doran carries a great unspoken affection for you Daniel Jackson." Teal'c told him and dug into the gigantic plate of nachos the waitress brought.

When Jack reached over to snag one Teal'c glared at him until he withdrew his hand. "If you wished for nachos O'Neill, you should have ordered some."

Jack nodded and frowned. "Dually noted."

"Look did Sam put you up to this?" Daniel asked.

Jack just shrugged and caught a waitresses' attention to get his own plate of nachos.

"She did didn't she. Jack I can't believe you after all the crap you gave me to get off your ass about your relationship with Sam."

"Daniel a balls hot woman wants to bed you after you have slept with every space princess from here to Alderann. Are you stupid or stupid?"
