*Monday Morning, May 19.... Dr. Daniel Jackson's Office/Room*
"Hey pour me another will ya?" Ariana said pushing her glass forward.
Daniel Jackson cracked open another can of Dr. Pepper, splitting it between his glass and hers, filling up the glass the rest of the way with Crown Royal. "Good stuff eh?" He said bringing his glass to his lips, he stopped midway at a knocking at the door, "Hm? Who could that be?" The anthropologist wondered out loud getting up opening the door. "Jack?" He squinted and pulled his glasses out putting them on. "What's going on?"
Jack started at him for a moment, Daniel was wearing low hanging sweat pants and a white wife beater, looking behind him he saw Ariana in the same tanktop but in black pajama pants.
"Hey Col. what's up?" She said holding up her glass to him, then taking a savoring sip.
"Daniel, there's a meeting in less than an hour, and you are doing what?" He asked taking the drink from his hand sniffing it, mildly surprised at the amount of alcohol in it. "Your DRINKING at 9:05 in the morning?!" Jack looked at him frustrated, he had bailed on the debriefing last night claiming his was gathering info on Ariana, then blew off their pool game and had his phone off the hook the entire night and morning. It didn't help that Daniel had been unusually quiet this week, like he was expecting something, or hiding something.
"Not that much..."Daniel said in his defense. Jack looked back into the room, and saw the nearly empty bottle of Crown and the pyramid of Dr. Pepper and Coke Cola. "We'll see you at the meeting, we'll be early, promise." With that he shut the door, but as he was doing so, he heard
Daniel asking Ariana to pull out another bottle of Crown.

*Conference Room 9:50*
Jack sat in his chair, tapping his pen on the long table. He mind running in circles. 'Who the hell was this alien? Why has Danny been acting so weird? When did he start working out? Since when did I start noticing?' He looked up at the sound of a door opening, Jack expected Sam and Teal'c but what he saw was Daniel in his normal green fatigues and Ariana in simple black pants and a dark green blouse, the front of her dark hair pulled back.
"Morning Jack, told you we'd be early." Said the clearly sober linguist sitting in his normal spot, then pointing Ariana to the guest chair, she sat quietly, looking at the StarGate.
"So you are." Jack said hiding his surprise. "Ms. Seren, sleep well?"
She blink a few times and look at him nodded smiling, "Yes, well I don't sleep much, but the room was comfortable." She said brushing her hair off her shoulders, then getting a far way look in her eyes, like she was listening to something.
"Don't sleep much?" Jack asked.
"At all." Daniel explained. "She hardly ever sleeps, unless she's sick or outside or something along those lines..." He said waving his hand in the air. "Basically she'll sleep once every few months." He watched her, then threw a pen at her head, Jack was about to reach for it when she caught it, looking down at it for a moment as if she didn't know what it was. Blinking she shook her head and looked at them.
"Sorry, it's been a long weekend." Ariana tossed the pen back and looked at the door as she stand, a moment later Sam, Teal'c, Dr. Fraiser and Gen. Hammond walked in together. Daniel and Jack stood quickly.
"Morning everyone, please be seated." Hammond said as he took his seat. "Well what have we learned about our guest?" He asked nodding to Ariana with a smile.
"Well from what I can see she is a perfectly healthy 'normal' 19 year old female, that doesn't eat as well as she should, but according to her carbon dating is three years old." Dr. Fraiser looked back and forth between Ariana and everyone else.
"Is this true?" Hammond asked amazed.
"Yes Sir, I am three Earth years old. But I have the memories of my life up until now. " She said nodding. "Meaning I have 19 years of memory inside my mind."
"How is this possible? "He asked looking for an answer. Nobody was able to give him and answer, so he looked back at her.
"I'm not going to lie to you Sir, I'm not even totally sure how we do it. But we as a people choose when we begin and stop aging. We mature VERY quickly and then just slow down or speed up after that by choice." She shrugged. "Truthfully, I have three sets of memories of my life. The most prominent is this one we are in now, where I grew up on my home world, Avalon, with my mother and our people, then the one with my father and mother on Avalon and then my last one."
"Which is?" Jack asked.
"I can't say." Ariana admitted apologetically.
"And why not?" Hammond asked gently.
"I'm not allowed to, my mother said I couldn't." She looked embarrassed. "But I'll tell you everything you want to know about the other two. I promise." She added chewing on the inside of her lower lip.
"I see..." Hammond said leaning back in his chair. "And how is it you can walk through walls?"
"I guess you can say it was a mind over matter thing Sir." She thought for a moment. "When you believe that you can't do something, then, yes it is impossible. But when you KNOW you can, and you train yourself and learn that you can do as you like with the help of the elements then you can DO anything you want." She said simple as if that explained everything. The Ger. nodded looking at Daniel.
"Dr. Jackson, what have you learned about her race."
Jack listened intently, he for some reason didn't like Daniel spending so much time with her, he knew he didn't trust her and he was sure he wasn't jealous... Or was he?
"They are a race like ours, the Goa'uld that dropped them off on Avalon. did just that. Left them with an incredible amount of technology, and left them to be self-sufficient. It's a Female dominated society, but only in the way earth is with males. As the entire planet is made up of... well....." He paused to think of the right word.
"Witches." Ariana supplied.
"Excuse me?"
"Pardon"
"What?"
Jack, Hammond, and Sam all blurted out at once.
"Well yes, what's surprising about that?" Daniel questioned giving them a slightly odd look.
"We've gone to planets where everyone is Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Norse, Shindo, why are you surprised at a world where Wicca is the way of life?" He questioned them.
"And what do the gods ask for in return?" Jack asked sarcastically. Ariana looked at him calmly but slightly puzzled.
"Nothing."
"At all?"
"We live by the Witches Rede, and the first and for most law is 'Do NO harm.' So we don't." She shrugged. "I can give you the rest later if you like." Ariana finished waiting at the quiet seemed almost defining till Daniel coughed softly.
"Is there anything else?" He asked, not enjoying the sudden quiet.
"Yes there is..." Hammond said after a moment. "Why are you here?"
Ariana looked at him a little surprised at the question. "Well Sir, I'm here... Because I can/"
"Excuse me?"
"Well you travel to other worlds both looking for help with the Goa'uld issue and to explore and form preferably friendly alliances with other worlds and species. Am I right?" She asked looked at all of them making sure she had her information strait.
"Well, yes, but why are YOU here?" Sam asked drawing her eye brows together.
"Because I am able to, I was told to come here and see if the people of Earth were friendly and if so to form a friendship with them." Ariana said with a smile.
"But, not offense, you're just a child." Hammond said wondering how they could send somebody so young.
"Sir, I may LOOK young, but I have many life times of memories in me."
"I thought you only had three." Jack said quickly, hoping if he had caught her in a lie.
"No, said I have three memories of MY life..." She stopped and looked at them realizing something. "You don't believe in past lives... Do you?" For some reason they all had a guilty feeling inside, Daniel smiled inwardly at their lack of comfort.
"It's not a common practice..."Dr. Fraiser started.
"Here in the States that is." Sam supplied.
"There are other religions on Earth that do believe in past lives." Teal'c said not offering anything more.
"I see..." Ariana whispered leaning back in the chair, leaning forward she smiled hands clasped on the table before her. "Well then I won't talk anymore about it, since it makes you all uncomfortable." Again they all felt horrible inside like they had offended her or something along those lines. "If you'll excuse me." She said politely, standing walking to the door, the guard there didn't move to open it she walked through it. As she looked around the other side she quickly walked down the hall holding her arms close.
~~~~~
*Back in the Conference Room*
"Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like crap, for some reason?" Jack asked out loud starting at
the pitcher of water sitting at the end of the table.
"Yeahh, I better go check on her." Daniel said getting up. "Excuse me."
"Good idea Jackson." Hammond said wondering what exactly just happened.
"Did she just guilt trip us?" Sam asked.
"Yep." Jack said nodding.
"Cassie uses it on me all the time. I should have recognized it a mile away." Dr. Faiser said rubbing her temples.
"But at the same time, I really believe she's telling the truth. Either that or she believes that she's telling the truth." Sam said exasperated. "I really hope she's being honest with us, can you imagine how we could benefit from her people?"
"You've got a good point... But we also have to think about the THREAT they could pose." Jack said clenching his fist under the table. "I mean they can walk through Naqaudra and Titanium and god knows what else they can do!" He rubbed his chin. "They could be worse than the Goa'uld, and what was up with the glowing eyes?"
"It's probably a side effect of her powers." Sam supplied.
"Doctor I thought you said she was human." Hammond questioned.
"She is as far as I can tell, genetically she IS a Homo sapian, but we've only JUST started scratching breaking the human DNA code. There's no telling how far we have to go or if all humans are really just that. For all we know her people are genetically further along than we on Earth are." Fraiser sighed. "I mean we know Cassandra's DNA was altered slightly from Naquadra in her system."
"Whoa whoa, are you saying she's an EVOLVED human?" Jack asked flabbergasted.
"Maybe its not impossible Sir." Sam said nodding
"But improbable, right?" Hammond asked
"Not even..." Sam said shaking her head.
"She could be the most advanced being on this planet." Janet said wondering the implications of what that could mean.
~~~~~~
*Hallway*
"Hey, Portanski." Daniel said running up to a guard.
"Sup Dr. Jackson?" He asked smacking his gum loudly.
"Have you seen Ariana?" He asked.
"Who?"
"About 19ish, yae high." He said holding his hand about shoulder high. "Dark high, blue eyes."
"Oh the fox!" Portanski said grinning.
"Ahh yeah..." Daniel said annoyed.
"She scared the crap outta me Sir, like she came outta no where right behind me."
Probably did...~ Daniel thought. "And?"
"Asked me where she could cool off, she looked kinda pissed to I pointed her to the gym. She looked like she could burn off... Hey You're Welcome!" He yelled as the scientist ran off.
"Thanks!"
~~~~~
*Gym*
Daniel nearly ran past the gym, slowing and backing up seeing Ariana sitting in the gym in a lotus position her eyes closing facing one of the mirrored walls. He quietly walked up and sat next to her waiting for her to finish, he wondered briefly what was wrong with the others. Did they have to treat everyone and everything like this? As if everyone wanted to over throw the Earth or conquer the universe? Were they all that arrogant?
"It's not that they don't trust me..." Ariana said eyes still closed. "I think I'm just getting a little home sick or something. But I DO feel frustrated for some reason, I just really want to hit something or break some... I dunno."
Daniel thought a few moments then smiled. "Want to.. throw a few shots?" He asked.
"Oh want? Tequila or punches?" She asked laughing.
"Well. I don't think Jack likes the idea of me giving you alcohol, so I'll grab the bag, you warm up." He said getting up and offering her a hand. Taking it she grinned.
"How 'bout we both warm up and screw the bag."
"Sparring?" Daniel said taking off his glasses.
"Scared?" Ariana asked cheekishly.
"Like hell." He said with a small smile taking off his coat and tossing it to the side, as she took off her blouse. "Ready?" He asked taking a standing warrior stance.
"All right then." She said standing barefoot, in her same black pants and blue tank. As she dropped sweeping her leg around to kick his legs out from under him, instead he jumped upwards and came in with a jab to her head, she rolled backwards, pushing herself backwards while aiming
a kick at his head, he dodged by a hair.
"You're good." Daniel said as they stood ready again. Smiling she pulled her hair into a low ponytail.
"And YOU are holding back." She said with roll of her wrist, inviting him to take a shot. He nodded then came at her with a kick aimed to her face.
~~~~~
*Camra/Control Room*
"Sir you may want to take a look at this." A new recuit said not taking her eyes off one of the screens.
"What is it McGemmy?" Jack ask looking over her shoulder. "What the hell?"
"What is it Sir?" Sam asked looking. "Oh, wow..."
"It appears Daniel Jackson has a few secrets of his own." Teal'c said with a small smile. They all(but Teal'c) gasped as Ariana dodged the kick but was taken by surprise by a tough jab to the side. But instead of going down she backed off a few feet and jump kicked him in the chest, he fell
back a landing hard on the floor.
"We better get down there before something happens." Sam said, the others agreed leaving.
"Righhhht." Jack said leading the way.
~~~~~
*Gym*
"Damn it..." Daniel said rubbing his chest.
"What? Are you ok?" She asked concerned but keeping her guard up.
"Yeah yeah," He stood stretching out his neck and nodded to her. Then started going at each other again not holding anything back, taking the entire time. "So where did you learn to fight?" He asked dodging a blow to the head.
"My father..." He smiled." You?" She said tagging him twice once on the chin and again in the side. He countered with an elbow to the stomach and using his hand to shove her away.
"A few of my foster families. Then mostly on Abydos." He said helping her up, standing apart she came in with a knee to his inner thigh, as he swept her feet out from under her.
"Shit!" She said looking up at him from the floor, his boot on her neck.
~~~~~~
"Daniel!" Jack yelled watching what, up until a few moments ago, he thought was a pacifist unleashing some serious kick ass. He stopped and looked closer. Both of them were glowing, their eyes anyway. Her's purple/blue and his more blue "What the hell." Daniel looked up from Ariana for a split second, not seeing her kicking her foot into his chest, as he flew across the room into a mirrored wall. Ariana quickly back flipped up, standing ready. Then all that could be heard
was glass falling and steady breathing.
***********I'd put the Witches Rede here but I'm uber lazy.
Heh like it? Good. Hate it? Oh well. Have questions? Well so do I! Where are my reviews?!?!?!?! Huh? Where the hell are they? Oh well... I'll live.
Peace and love,
Aryah
