            The building shook so badly that people were violently thrown from their seats. There were cries of distress, pieces of ceiling falling, and soldiers appearing from nowhere. C.J. lurched and grabbed Freyr before he fell. "You ok Freyr?" she gasped, the dust sifting down from the damaged ceiling covering her and the others. The alien nodded and looked into her eyes, "How is it that you have a goa'uld inside you and are in control?" it asked curiously. C.J. smiled wryly, "I don't know. However, if you would be so kind and remove it for me I would be eternally grateful!" she said.

            She was suddenly grabbed from behind and spun around. Daniel was hugging her so tight she could feel the goa'uld yell in alarm. Giggling she patted his back, "Daniel. You're crushing me and the snake." He stepped back and the others were around her patting her back and asking questions a mile a minute. "Is it Tok'ra? Is it still there? What happened?" the questions flew. Jack stood in front of her, his zat at the ready. "Well Lady, you did good. Now tell me what the hell happened?" he asked gruffly. Freyr suddenly stood there beside Jack, "O'Neill, can this wait? C.J. has expressed the desire to remove the goa'uld. You need to figure out what you will do here and I will return her shortly." C.J. smiled gratefully and Daniel grabbed her hand. "I'm going too." Freyr nodded and looked at Jack. "Yeah sure. Just return them in one piece." Jack said. Freyr, knowing O'Neill's attachment for his comrades inclined his small head and the three disappeared.

            Jack shook his head and signaled for his people to disperse to see if people needed help or whatever. He walked over to Jerel who was helping one of the elderly council members as she sobbed in fright. Jack bent down, grimacing at his creaking knees. "See? This treaty stuff really works." Jerel smiled crookedly, absently patting the distressed woman's back. "I'll check on you later Serak." He said, noticing Serak's grandson hustling over to check on his grandmother. Jerel stood and brushed some of the dust off of him, and Jack stood as well.

            "We need to figure out what to do next." Jack said seriously. Jerel pointed Jack to the exit of the building where others were leaving, "Let's talk about what is needed to be done." Jack signaled to the other team members and they all followed, making sure that the evacuation of the damaged building was orderly.

            Freyr's ship

            Daniel held her hand as she lay on the flat surface. She was trembling with the effort of containing the goa'uld now. She could feel it frantically beat against her will and the force that was helping her contain it. She could hear one of Freyr's medical advisors speak and suddenly she was unconscious.

            "C.J.?"  A voice asked in her mind. "I'm here." She replied, looking around for the source of her help. The voice laughed softly, "I am glad that I could help you. Your plea for help was heard and I was sent." C.J. puzzled over his for a moment, "Are you an angel?" The voice sighed, "I am close to something like that, but more. We are sent from the One who creates all, and that is all that you need to understand. My work here is done. We will meet again." and the presence was gone.

            C.J. woke with a smile, and saw Daniel's beloved face over hers. "Hey Babe." She rasped, her throat was a little dry. Daniel's eyes were filled with relief. "How are you feeling? You've been out of it for 16 hours." C.J. sat up with a sudden jerk, "What? 16 hours?" She turned to Freyr, "What happened?" She demanded. The little alien regarded her thoughtfully, "Will you tell us what happened and maybe I can help you with your query." It replied.

            "I thought that we were going to head down to the planet. I was brought to a room with a gold bed thing and a golden bowl beside it. The Jaffa made me lie down and I suddenly knew what was going to happen." Her eyes closed in pain. "The wriggly goa'uld leapt from Manam's hand and into my mouth, I thought I was going to choke to death." Opening her eyes she saw Daniel's eyes were closed with remembered pain. "Hey, I'm ok." She touched his face gently and he grabbed her hand, placing a gentle kiss in her palm. Shakily taking a deep breath, she continued, "I was screaming for God to help me when the goa'uld took over my mind. It was mocking my screams and suddenly it stopped and there was someone, or something, containing it." C.J. shook her head, "I was so relieved. It was like it was imprisoned and I was myself again. Then a voice spoke and told me it would take care of me but that I was to take care of the problem here." Looking at Freyr she smiled at his expression.

Freyr's head was cocked to the side, "Hm," was its response. "We removed the goa'uld and you did not wake up. We assumed it was because your system needed to heal. Do you know who it was?" It asked curiously. She shook her head no."They didn't say, but when I asked if it was an angel, it acknowledged that it was something like that." C.J. rubbed the back of Daniel's hand absently. "It said that the 'One who creates all' heard me and sent it. In my mind that says angel." She glanced at Daniel and he was watching her closely, realizing that there was something she wasn't saying quite yet.

            "The One." Freyr stared impassively into space. It turned his head abruptly; "I am going to transport you down to the surface. O'Neill has stated that there is to be a feast and then I will take you back to Earth." They were suddenly back on J'erel, C.J. looked at Daniel in puzzlement. "What was that about?" she asked. Daniel shook his head, "Maybe they don't believe in a higher power?" Daniel frowned comically, wrinkling his nose in thought. C.J. laughed, then waved at the SG teams as they came to say hello and see how she and Daniel were.

            Later as everyone was back on the ship and resting, C.J. moved out of Daniel's arms and went in search of Freyr. She accessed a panel on the wall that located the alien and she went to his quarters. Raising her hand she waved it over another panel and a chime was heard, then the door slid silently open. "Freyr?" C.J. asked, waiting politely in the doorway.

            "You may enter, C.J." Freyr said from its resting place on a chair by the window. She walked in, realizing that it was dark and she moved carefully, so she wouldn't knock anything down. "Freyr, are you alright?"  C.J. went to stand beside the chair, watching the stars fly by. Sensing movement, she turned her head to find a thoughtful Freyr regarding her silently.

            "In our time in the universe we understood that there was a greater power, but we thought of it as a benign element of the cosmos, one that did not directly effect us." Freyr looked back out of the window and sighed. "You were in distress and asked for help and it was given. We understood that there was a power, but I think that we may not have believed."

            C.J. turned to look at the alien, "I was raised religiously, but I don't go to church so much anymore. However, I do know that there is a God, and I believe it with all of my heart. The only thing that I am sure of in this crazy universe." She paused, gathering her thoughts. "I believe that God, or the One, made us all with free will. We choose our own path and are responsible for our actions. The Asgard chose to do good, the Goa'uld chose to do bad." Freyr was watching her with interest now, it nodded in understanding and said, "We made the choice to protect. You must rest now C.J., we will be to Earth in 2 hours." C.J. smiled, "I know, you want to do some more thinking. Good night Freyr." She saluted cheekily and went back to where the others were. Freyr smiled slightly, more at peace that it had been in a very long time.

            2 days later Daniel slammed into Sam's office. "Do you know where she is?" Sam was wiping up spilled coffee, having slopped it when Daniel scared her to death. "Geez Daniel, knock much?" she asked sarcastically. Daniel flopped down in one of her chairs and sighed. "C.J. took emergency leave, didn't tell me she was going and just left. I asked the General and he wouldn't say where she was going either." Daniel sighed. "What did I do wrong?" he asked, and Sam felt sorry for him, but only a little.

            "Daniel, you are the world's worst friend, next to the Colonel." She said, when Jack poked his head in. "Did someone take my name in vain?" he asked, wandering in. His eyes were sharp as they saw Daniel and he glanced at Sam who rolled her eyes. Sam had told Jack of her and C.J.'s conversation about Daniel's clinging, then total unwillingness to talk about what C.J. had been through and how she needed a break. Jack huffed out a breath and closed the door, then slumped into the chair beside Daniel.

            "Daniel? You're a moron." Was Jack's helpful comment. Sam groaned and rolled her eyes. This therapy thing was going to be painful.
