I don't own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Stargate-SG-1
Angel walked quickly to Sam's office and stood in her doorway watching her. She had her head bent down over a piece of alien metal and was muttering curses under her breath. "I can't believe that it won't work!" she finally said. She banged down a tool and sighed. Her head jerked up at the male chuckle and she smiled, "Angel, how long have you been watching me?" she asked.
"Only long enough for you to curse at the inanimate object on your table there." And she blushed. "It's something that was stolen from Anubis ship and I'm trying to figure out what it does." She handed the small oblong piece of metal to him. Angel turned it over in his hands and closed his eyes, trying to sense it. 'There'. He pushed it on the end and it sudden started glowing. "Wow!" Sam said and Angel put it down, suddenly feeling uneasy.
"Do you have a camera in here?" he asked grabbing her arm and she nodded. He whisked her out, slamming the door. "Where is the camera?" and she ran to the security room and sat down to access the camera to her office.
They watched in fascination as the item continued to glow, then open. Out stepped a cat.
"Wow, you don't see that everyday." Angel remarked and Sam nodded dumbly. Angel turned and went back to the office. He opened the door cautiously and went in, closing the door behind him. He looked at the cat that regarded him with a tilted head. Angel tucked his hands in his pockets and smiled. "Can I help you?" he asked and the cat meowed.
"Yes, you opened my home. Where do you desire to go." The voice was female and he was surprised. "Go?"
"Yes, I am a inter-dimensional time travel portal. Where do you desire to go?" Angel jingled the change in his pocket and watching the camera Sam stifled a snort. He was getting bad habits from Jack. "Can you send me to any dimension?" He asked and the cat nodded. "Absolutely."
"Can I get back to you on that?" Angel stuttered. "Of course." The cat replied. It glowed again and disappeared into the metal object.
"Cool." Came Jack's voice from the doorway. Angel smiled, "My ticket home, I guess." And Jack raised an eyebrow, "Not yet I hope." Angel smiled, "I know, mission first."
Sam came whirling in, "That was so cool!! A dimensional portal!" Jack and Angel laughed.
"Buffy and I have to get going. Be careful with that thing Sam, and be specific." With that he left.
Buffy hugged Jack, gave him a kiss, "See you for dinner." And walked through the event horizon with Jacob and Angel. Little did anyone know that dinner was going to have to wait.
Jacob gave them their disguises and Buffy sighed. "Can we not do the slave thing? It's uncomfortable and hard to walk in." she complained and Selmak spoke, "As a woman you would be relegated to slave status. I am sorry Buffy, as a woman I know it is unfair." Buffy and Angel stared at Jacob in disbelief. "Selmak was a woman?" Buffy squeaked and dissolved into hysterical laughter at Jacob's face. Angel gave the man a brotherly grin, "Any pointers on how to handle women?" and Jacob snorted, "Ok Buffy, funny time is over. Yes Selmak keeps me in line worse than a wife. Happy?" Buffy stifled her laughter and Angel just smiled.
Angel and Buffy were transported to a ring room and Angel pulled Buffy off immediately and hid. They watched as a squad of Jaffa went by the doorway and waited until they heard the footsteps leave.
"We're here Jacob." Angel said into his hand and there was a brief squawk of acknowledgement. Nodding to Angel, Buffy walked one way and Angel the other. Buffy had the machine that Jacob had given her and was looking for somewhere to download the info that was needed. She walked with her head down, quickly and quietly. Suddenly she felt movement and swayed. Uncertain about what happened she went back to what she was doing and found what she was looking for. Checking carefully for anyone in the hallway she connected the device and proceeded to download the information. Thankfully it was over quickly, Buffy put it into her pocket when the ship shuddered violently, throwing her into the wall. Angel came jogging down the hall and smiled at her, "We need to leave. The ship is under attack." Buffy raised her eyebrows, "Ya think?" and they headed for the ring room. Angel kept trying to get Jacob but was met with silence. Buffy was starting to get concerned, "Angel, we need...." but was interrupted when his communicator crackled, "Angel, get onto the ring transporter. Now!" and they ran and stood on it when they were suddenly on the cargo ship. They raced up front where Jacob was trying to keep control in the middle of the battle.
"What happened?" Buffy gasped and threw herself into the seat beside Jacob. "Apparently Ba'al launched himself into an ambush. We need to get out of here." No sooner than he had said this when their ship was hit. Angel was thrown to the floor, unconscious. Buffy glanced in concern at Angel, then looked at Jacob, "Just get us down in one piece and we'll worry about it from there." Jacob nodded and they headed to the planet below. There were ships exploding and more battle as they careened down onto the strange planet.
Jacob smiled grimly, fighting the shuddering ship, "Don't worry about it Buffy. You wouldn't believe how many times I've crashed one of these." Buffy snorted in laughter, "Gee Jake, makes me feel safer." He smiled and they headed to the far side of one of the continents below them. They hit the trees and Buffy lost consciousness as well.
Back in the SGC Sam was talking to the 'cat in the portal'. "Who made you?" she asked, looking at it from all angles. The General was amused, the cat would follow Major Carter's wanderings with its head. "My makers lived in this galaxy and made me." It replied. "Hmmm." Sam said. "Why a cat?" she asked and the cat seemed to smile, "Because we are more intelligent than most creatures." Jack laughed and Sam smiled at him, "Well Schroedinger always thought so." She replied, referring to the cat she had given Narim.
Buffy woke to see Angel and Jacob's worried faces peering at her. "I'm still alive. Yay for me!" Angel smiled and shook his head, "How are you feeling? Can you get up?" and when she nodded he gently pulled her to her feet. She put her hand automatically on her stomach, looking at Angel in concern. "Baby is ok, heart is beating like a little drum." He said reassuringly and she sighed in relief. Jacob handed her a cup of water and Buffy gulped it down gratefully.
"Ok, where are we and do you think Jack is freaking yet?" She handed the cup back to Jacob who barked a laugh, "Oh yeah. Freaking is probably the word you're looking for." He said and put the cup away.
