Jack stood in front of the cell that held the head of NID. The man was in prison orange and had shackles on his wrists and ankles.
"Are you a slow learner? What made you think that we wouldn't find you?" Jack shook his head in puzzlement. The man snarled at him in rage, "I protect my country." Jack shook his head, "The last argument of a corrupted government." He replied.
"If we could isolate what makes that girl heal, then we could use it to make super soldiers." The man spat desperately. Jack shook his head in sympathy. "What, you don't believe in God? Did you read any of the reports? What she has she was born with, it's not something inheritable. Duh! Janet would have found it otherwise."
"I don't believe you." Now the man was shaken, and Jack turned to walk away. Turning back he said, "I'd think about it if I were you, you're going to prison because nothing was there." And he left the man to his thoughts.
Buffy was now making real money, her first paycheck had gone to 2 months rent and a bed. She saved the rest deciding that the rest of the furniture could wait for now. She was at the SGC most of the time anyway.
She was sitting on the carpeted floor, wishing Jack was there to see the fabulous sunset with her when there was a knock. Having learned caution the hard way she called, "Yeah?" There was muffled laughter in the hall, "It's Jack and Sam and Daniel and Teal'c and Ferretti…" Buffy laughed and raced to the door, opening it to see Jack and her friends standing there. They all swept in, bringing pizza, sodas and beer. Major Maxwell brought in a craftsmen style rocking chair and Buffy gasped in delight.
"Is that for me?" she asked, her eyes alight with surprise. Jack nodded, "We went in together on it. Janet said you had mentioned it and she knew the antique shop and well, here it is." Buffy gave Max a hug, then everyone else. She was so overwhelmed, "This is so great. Now I am starving, let's eat!"
As they ate Jack looked at Buffy, "You never did explain why you don't like cats Buffy." He said mischievously, knowing that Sam loved them. Sam looked at her in surprise and Buffy squirmed. "You don't want to know why." She said uncomfortably but everyone smelled a story.
"All right. Don't say I didn't warn you. I was drunk one night and needed to find a demon. A vamp friend of mine named Spike said he might be able to help. I should have known better." She smiled in remembrance. "He took me to a demon poker game. They were gambling when one of the guys put 5 kittens in the middle. That was his bet." She shook her head and Sam had her hands over her mouth, "They gambled for kittens? What did they do with them?" and Buffy gave her a long look. "Oh yuck!" Sam said, turning slightly green. The men laughed hysterically and Buffy stole a piece of pizza from Jack, dismissing his whining with a wave.
The evening was spent eating and drinking, laying on the carpet and just talking. It was probably the most relaxing day that they had in awhile. Sam looked at her watch and jumped to her feet and said, "Hey, It's 2230, and I've got stuff tomorrow." She said and everyone stood, getting ready to go. Buffy thanked everyone and soon it was only Jack and Buffy.
She looked into his eyes, "Stay?" and his eyes darkened and he nodded.
"Good thing I have a bed." she quipped as she led him to her bedroom. They undressed each other quickly, hands moving over flesh, sighs and moans that echoed off of the bare walls. Jack smoothed a hand over her breasts, making her moan. She bent down and cupped him, sliding her hands along the smooth hardness and he jerked his hips in reaction. "Buffy." He moaned and lifted her up, kissing her deeply. She smiled and led him to her bed and she lay down, pulling him to her. As he slid into her she sighed and realized to herself that she had successfully made a new life and found love.
The next few months were filled with discovery and love. Jack and Buffy had spent just about every moment of free time together. They explored Colorado Springs, Pike's Peak and the old gold camps in the area. She continued training and the SG teams suffered fewer casualties as a direct result of her help. She was glad as everyone became her friends and she hated to lose friends.
It was 4 ½ months into her new life when everything changed.
