The fires were stoked and the food was brought out and it turned into one big family barbeque. Jack still eyed her with some amount of skepticism but Daniel being so blasé about things looked like it had at least placated him for the time being. Sam sat herself down right next to Bonnie, eyes still wide and curious about her mysterious arrival. Maybe at some point during all of this Bonnie might finally get some answers.

"So what was the trip like?" Sam asked excitedly. "Were you aware of what was happening?"

"No, one minute I was home, the next I was waking up in Daniel's tent." Remembering that day still elicited pangs of anxiety.

Daniel added, "She was unconscious for hours."

"Worst hangover I've ever experienced." She grumped.

"Even worse than your first run in with Skaara's moonshine?" Daniel sniggered into his cup.

"Yes." She sneered. "Worse than that. Also, somebody didn't warn me about what Skaara was passing around."

With a loud belt of laughter, Skaara handed her some of that same moonshine and sat back down. "You took it well for your first time! So did my father when you spit it back out all over him."

"I was surprised!" She had to defend herself at least a little, Kasuf had been gracious about it but spewing all over him had been the highlight of her embarrassment that day…at least until she'd started drinking in earnest. "I didn't expect you guys to all have fucking gasoline out here. Besides, I had enough of it by the end of the night to be wrecked by morning."

"So you drank about half an ounce of it then?" Kawalsky laughed, joined by Ferretti and a mostly hidden smirk from Jack.

Bonnie glanced at Sam, Sam looked at her, and then both rolled their eyes. Until now, Bonnie had forgotten she was living in the nineties again and the casual sexism was…more casual than she was used to anymore.

Bonnie leaned over and mumbled to Sam, trying to make conversation about things she already knew about without making it seem like she already knew about them. "How did they handle you joining the team?"

"Not well." She said, cocking her head with a tight smile. "I uh, I dressed them down a little in the briefing room. Seemed to help. Are things any less of a boy's club in 2017?"

Bonnie shrugged in a very noncommittal yeah kinda sorta answer because for one, it was too complicated to get into, and two, she should probably at least currently pretend she had the same future that they did.

Before Sam could ask anymore questions, Daniel purposefully raised his voice to get their attention as he changed the direction of the conversation.

"So this - this man who looked like Ra, he must have come through another Gate."

"What other Gate?" Sam asked.

Jack followed suit. "A Stargate?"

"Stargate only goes here."

Daniel wagged his finger at them. "I think you're wrong about that. We think you're wrong about that."

Sam stuttered. "I - I was there. We ran hundreds of permutations."

"But you didn't have what you needed." Daniel corrected.

Jack was getting frustrated by Daniel's vagueness. "Daniel, what are you talking about?"

Skaara came back and told them that the storm had passed and Bonnie's heart dropped. It was happening fast, faster than she'd realized it would. She didn't know why she'd thought she wouldn't be back on Earth by the end of the day when Jack showed up. That this wouldn't be the last time Daniel would see Sha're before she was taken by Apophis. Skaara…She was about to walk out the door and let her friends…

She grabbed one of the boats of moonshine that had been set aside and took a drink while Sha're kissed Daniel goodbye.

When they came back Ferretti would be hurt, nearly dead. So many of boys around her would be as well. Sha're and Skaara would be gone. And she would've stood by and let it all happen. She could tell Jack, he'd prepare them for an attack and lead the kids in the fight. They might kill Apophis right then and there. She could tell him about the personal shield, he could go at the snake head with a knife and cut his throat.

They might also kill Teal'c, or all end up dead. What would happen if the team died and never checked back in with General Hammond? He'd send a damn nuke through the gate and kill everyone on Abydos. Earth was paramount in defeating the Goa'uld, what would happen if they never ventured out in the galaxy? What if that was one of the ways the mirror universes happened where Earth was invaded?

And this was why Daniel had agreed with her. Things needed to stay the way they were. The best thing to do was nothing, right? She had no business being there in the first place, let alone playing god with all their lives.

"Bonnie, let's go!" Daniel called as they made for the entrance.

She caught up to the group, falling in step with Kawalsky.

"You good? You're lookin' a little green around the gills there."

"Moonshine." She lied, something he believed readily enough that he didn't ask further.

The Abydonians who came with them went in first and lit the brazier, lighting the room up enough that their torches were really only needed to cut into some of the shadows in the corners.

"So, I - I figured that there had to be more to this place, so I started exploring, um, this area around the town and the pyramid at first. And after about a month, I found this place. Uh, Captain Doctor, you're going to love this."

Sam shined her flashlight around the room, staring at all the hieroglyphics. "Oh, my God. This is amazing. This is the archeological find of the century."

"At least." Bonnie added. "If Daniel's right, there's arguably more to discover about this room alone than Tut's entire tomb."

"Daniel, you had a chance to translate this yet?" Jack asked.

"I think so."

"What's it say?"
"Well, uh, it - it doesn't say anything. Actually it's sort of a chart, more of a map."

"Of?"

"Well, I haven't been able to analyze all of it-"

Bonnie wandered away from the group, disillusioned with any amount of fanaticism she'd been feeling earlier while they expositioned their way into true Gate travel. She didn't want to play anymore, didn't want to see any of it. She as good as killed Sha're the moment she didn't tell Daniel what was going to happen.

Then, about fifteen minutes of brooding later, the boy showed up, frantically telling Daniel what was happening back at the Gate. They ran, bolting through the sand and back to the pyramid. Inside, it was quiet.

"Sha're! Sha're!" Daniel yelled frantically, with now answer. Everyone fanned out through the room, checking for survivors. "Bolah!"

"There were so man…so many of them."

"It's all right, just tell me what happened." Daniel said gently, kneeling down at the Bolah's

"It was Ra." The boy said.

Upon hearing that, Jack came over. "What's going on?"

"Ra is dead. Tau'pa Ra!" Daniel insisted.

"No…Ra…I saw…He took Sha're. He took Skaara into the chaapa'ai."

Daniel turned and looked up, staring at Bonnie, asking with his expression if she'd known all along. She knew there was no way to hide her guilt from him so she didn't even try. And there it was, the betrayal. It was as good as her fault, and he knew it.

"Colonel, Ferretti needs medical attention now!" Sam yelled from across the room.

Bonnie turned away from Daniel, from Bolah who was now dead, with tears in her eyes. She didn't blame him, she really didn't, but it hurt just the same. Hell, she didn't even deserve to feel hurt by it. She'd killed his wife.

"Go!" Daniel yelled at Jack. "Help him! I can send you back."
"You're coming with us this time, Daniel. I've got orders."

"I don't care about your orders, Colonel. My wife is out there. So is Skaara."

"And the only way we're gonna get 'em back is if you come home with us. Ferretti might have seen those coordinates. Captain, do you have the video?"

"I got everything I need." Sam said, holding up a recorder.

"Grayson!" Jack snapped, grabbing her attention. "You're coming too."

Before or after Daniel officially disowned her? Now that he knew, he wouldn't even look at her, it was obvious when he glanced around how he skipped over her. Some of the boys laying dead around them weren't even fifteen yet, and never would be. The one by the door had a wife, and a baby on the way back in the village.

"Grayson." Jack said sharply, giving the strap of her bag a tug to snap her out of it before lowering his tone more gently. "Don't look at them. Just grab your things and go stand over there."

She swallowed hard and nodded, shuffling over to the DHD while Kawalsky helped Sam roll Ferretti onto a makeshift sledge.

Behind her, Daniel said goodbye to the rest of the Abydonians, instructing them on what to do and when to unbury the Stargate. She didn't even look over her shoulder when he started dialing the Gate not two feet from where she was waiting.

She watched it open with all of the excitement of a deflated balloon and barely even paused before passing through the event horizon. Bonnie didn't dare enjoy this anymore.

Even still, once the gut spinning ride was over and she was looking at the Gate room, she couldn't help but scan it, taking in the bustling medical team and SFs, Walter up in the control room, General Hammond at the foot of the ramp looking grumpy and intimidating as he snapped at Daniel and started checking on the wounded.

Then he reached her. "And just who the hell are you?"

Jack followed him up the ramp and inserted himself into the situation quickly. "This is Bonnie Grayson, General. I think it'd be best if I briefed you on her situation…privately."

"Very well." Hammond said. "Until then I want you all checked in the infirmary. That includes you, Miss Grayson."

With nothing else to do but what she was told and then just follow Daniel, that's what she did, all the way to a random juncture of hallway near the infirmary where they'd both been given clean bills of health and matching jumpsuits. As he stared off into nothingness, she watched as Jack went into the infirmary, then came back out and wandered their way.

"Hey." He glanced at Daniel, then her, then back to Daniel.

"They don't know what to do with us." Daniel muttered, still refusing to look in her direction, not that she blamed him. "And I don't know what to do with myself."

Jack thought for a moment, then nudged Daniel's arm and motioned for them to follow. "Come on. Let's get outta here."

Bonnie watched and waited for Daniel to go first. She didn't fault him, even though he'd been just as adamant about her not telling him the future as she'd been. But she didn't want his eyes boring into the back of her head either.

The three of them rode the elevator up to the garage in silence, the tension palpable enough that she'd made sure to position herself on the other side of Jack. Jack, who would probably also be furious at her when he found out she'd known what was going to happen to Skaara. If he found out. Maybe it would be best to just not tell anyone after all.

When they got back to Jack's place he lit a fire and went to the kitchen. She tried to keep her distance from Daniel.

Bonnie felt like she'd been a duckling, rescued after being taken from it's mother and relying on the first friendly face it found. Now that friendly face, someone who she'd been counting as a good friend, looked at her like she'd betrayed him.

By the fireplace he startled her with a wry chuckle that died into a deep sigh. "You warned me. You did warn me, didn't you? Is this how it's gonna be? You're gonna stand around and watch as my life falls apart, knowing where every nick and crack is gonna be?"

Bonnie pinched her lips together, trying to hold enough patience to wait out his much needed venting. Sha're was his wife, and she'd stood around being their friend while waiting for her to be taken for slaughter and done nothing. Hell she wasn't even sure she could forgive herself, let alone hope for Daniel to. Two months in and she'd already ostracized her closest friend.

"Am I even going to see her again? Or does she just get sacrificed as some plot device to further your story?"

The evenness of his tone was worse than if he'd just yelled at her. "What do you want me to say, Daniel? We talked it through and both agreed-"

"I didn't agree to my wife being kidnapped, to Skaara-"

"Oh yeah? Well I didn't ask to be here! I didn't ask to be your reality's god damned Nostradamus!"

He stomped over and with a clenched jaw stared her down. "Do you know where she is?"

"I don't know the gate coordinates."

"Do you. Know. Where Sha're is?"

Chulak, but that wouldn't do any of them any good. "Yes."

The clink of beer bottles broke their attention and Jack stood by the door in surprise. "Alright both of you, on the couch, now." He shoved a bottle into each of their hands and stood across from them with his arms crossed as they settled into the couch, keeping as much distance between each other as possible.

"Okay Daniel, let's start with your mini-me. Miss Grayson, why do I get the impression from your guys' little argument that you knew that attack was going to happen? And don't bullshit me because I'm about this far from calling in the cavalry and throwing your ass into an interrogation room."

Well, there it was, all or nothing. She didn't think Daniel would let her get away with covering things up even if she tried. "You're gonna think I'm bullshitting you just for telling the truth so try to keep an open mind, please?"

"I traveled to another planet through a wormhole, my mind's plenty open. Answer the question."

"I knew it was going to happen because I'm from an alternate reality where it's already happened."

Next to her Daniel sputtered. "Oh please, it's so much more complicated than that."

Jack pointed to him. "You be quiet, I'll get to why you didn't think it was important to tell me this back on Abydos, in a minute."

Bonnie grimaced, knowing what she had to say next. She chugged half her beer and looked up at Jack, trying to be as serious and believable as possible. "And by already happened I mean I've seen it happen. Because in my reality, this is all a very popular sci fi tv series."

"Oh!" Jack said in mock interest. "A tv show you say? Like Star Trek I'm guessing?"

"Well...not as popular as Star Trek but it ran for ten seasons, had two spin offs, and technically three movies."

"She's telling the truth." Daniel sighed.

"Uhuh. Prove it." Jack challenged.

Beside her Daniel shook his head. "You don't wanna push it Jack, trust me."

"Your ex wife has hardly touched Charlie's room since he died, you have a cabin up in Minnesota where you like to go fishing, and you lost a friend going after some Russian dude named Boris."

He laughed awkwardly. "You could've dug that up from anywhere." He said snidely.

Daring him to keep passing off what she was saying she went for the big guns. "You love the Simpsons, dogs are your favorite people and there's no fish in your fucking pond."

"Daniel?" Jack said, starting to get the picture and finally looking for his input.

"Told you."

"Shit."
