Cassi stared at Cassie and .......vice versa. Niether one was exactly sure which "Cassi" Jack had been refering to, though it really didn't matter.
Uh, hello Cassi put in the other girl's head. Cassie stepped back in surprise.
"Sorry" Cassi apologized sheepishly. It was obvious explinations were required so while Sam explained things verbally to Cassie Fraiser, Jack explained things mentally to Cassi O'Neill.
"So, you sort of have the powers I had because of Nerati's revert virus?" Cassie said when Sam had finished.
"Sorta. Except the Goa'uld didn't do it to me, they won't kill me, I've had them since I was born, and I can't get rid of them, even when I die" Cassi answered aloud.
"How do you know that?" Daniel asked.
"I've died before" Cassi answered with a shrug. She was trying to make it sound like no big deal, but she knew she'd messed up.
"What?!" both of her parents cried at once.
"What happened?" her father asked. Something in Cassi's mind was triggered and she started to access the memories. She immediately began twitching and various things began floating. They all caught a whiff of her terror.
"All right, never mind!" jack told her urgently, "I don't want to know" The terror receded and the various objects returned to their places. Cassi stopped twitching and stared back at her father.
"Cool!" the other Cassie said and got a sharp look from her mother.
"What was that?" Hammond demanded.
"Fail safe" Cassi told him, "Even my mind can't handle that particular memory."
"Why.....didn't you just say that first?" Daniel asked. Cassi looked away and wouldn't answer.
"Dr. O'Neill?" Hammond prodded. At the other end of the table, laughter erupted.
"*Doctor* O'Neill?" Cassie cried, "That's almost an oxymoron, isn't it?" For a moment, only her laughter filled the air, but then Cassi started laughing too. Then Jack, then Sam and Daniel. Soon the only person not laughing was Teal'c though Cassi could hear the humor in his head too.
"Cassie, ah, that is, Ms. Fraiser, your job is to take Dr. O'Neill here....ah...well, out" Hammond said when everyone had calmed down a bit.
"What do you mean?" Cassie asked, bewildered. Cassi, however, knew exactly what he meant. She stood up and walked to Cassie who stood up too.
"Come on, Cass" she said, "You can take me to the mall" The two girls started to walk out the door when Cassi stopped and turned back.
Next time, she thought at them, Just ask.
She would have slammed the door behind her if she'd been really miffed, but the truth was that she was glad to get out of there before anyone thought to inquire further on why she couldn't stop herself from thinking about her death experience.
"Well" Jack commented after they'd left, "That went just as planned"
"There's a reason we don't want them knowing, or going on this mission, or do I need to remind you, Colonel?" Hammond replied.
"Of course you don't need to remind me" O'Neill answered.
"I have a question" Daniel piped up, "Which Cassie are we protecting here?"
Nobody had an answer.
