Way Smarter

A/N: Yes, this is a futurefic. I'm not really a fan of them although some are good. It's also a drabble, mainly Jack thinking about... things. Which I am not a fan of either. But I guess my muse was out to spite me and this came to me on the train. *glares at muse and tells her to get back to Three Dogtags* It's just something silly but feedback kinda makes my day...

He just didn't get it.

She was way smarter than him. Not that he wasn't smart, just a different kind of smart. She could find her way through a naquadah reactor with her eyes closed. He could find his way through... well, Cheyenne Mountain with his eyes closed. Of course that kind of smart is important too. During battle it was really handy to know the terrain. But it still wasn't a naquadah reactor and besides... she could probably do that too. Sure, he could kick some goa'uld ass big time. But she could do that too and at the same time make a bomb from a pen, so to speak, to kick it even harder than he ever could. So in the end, she just was *way* smarter than him. And he had to ask her if it was possible to make a bomb from a pen.

Add to that that she was not only brains but beautiful as well. Sure he could turn some heads around and he was well aware of it too. It just didn't compare. He was turning greyer every day. Although he was still in top form, he couldn't help but notice that his age was starting to show.

So put one and two together and he just didn't get it.

Not that he was complaining though. She was still way smarter than him so he trusted her to know what she was doing.

But he still didn't get why she said yes when he asked her to marry him.



THE END
