Chapter 11:
Summer hadn't heard SG-1 enter the room she was too busy observing the commotion down in the gate room. She had seen the huge stone ring, she'd never seen anything like it in her life, but she guessed 'all would be explained'.
"Colonel."
General Hammond entered the room.
"Yes Sir?"
Two voices chorused, Summer turned around to look at this other Colonel. She stopped and all colour drained from her face.
"Jack."
She blinked. Jack looked up from the debriefing room table, his features softened as his memory put a name and history to her face.
"Summer."
He almost whispered. He rose from his seat; Summer tilted her head to the side and smiled weakly.
"Hey."
Jack frowned and walked over to her.
"Err ... hi."
They both smiled at his usual lack of knowing what to say, a quality that they both shared. Jack looked her over, she looked as beautiful as ever, he'd always liked her in blue.
" So ... how have you been?"
Jack blurted out. She laughed.
"Great actually, your self?"
Jack shook his head in disbelieve.
"Not too bad, thanks."
Then they both shared a smile that reminded them of the old days, the way things used to be.
"Ahem, not to interrupt but...?"
Daniel questioned. Sam and Janet looked at each other they had both seen the hidden sparks between the Colonels's. Jack and Summer turned around and looked at Daniel, Jack smiled then looked back at Summer.
"Meet Daniel Jackson, Doc Fraiser and that there is Sam Carter and Teal'c."
He went around the table introducing everyone.
"Everyone this bees Summer Knight."
Summer cleared her throat and smiled.
"Hi."
With introductions out of the way Hammond let his thoughts stray, Knight and O'Neill *knew* each other! He was interested in how they had met but he could find that out later and he was sure he almost certainly would. It was now time for Summer to get to know her fellow future teammates.
"Take a seat."
Hammond spoke to Summer, Jack pulled out a chair for her.
"Thanks."
Jack grinned and sat himself next to her. Carter cleared her throat and leaned forward, her interest peeked. Summer was an attractive woman, with sharp yet delicate features and warm welcoming smile. Sam watched the new comer with curiosity.
Colonel Knight seemed a tad nervous when she had first turned around but now that she had been greeted with a familiar face she felt a little more at ease.
Janet watched her close friend out of the corner of her eyes. Sam didn't seem jealous but those sparks between Summer and Jack had not gone unnoticed, that was for sure.
"So let me just ... clarify this you two ... know each other?"
Daniel ever the air clearer. Both Colonels looked at each other and shared a warm smile then looked back to Daniel with affirmative nods. Jack grinned and started tapping his pen on the file in front of him.
