A/N: Well not much to say yet, considering I JUST posted the first chapter!! But here's the next part (I'm on holidays, kinda bored at the moment)

CHAPTER TWO

~*~*~*~*~*~

Sam walked into the infirmary and stopped in her tracks. Right in front of her was Major Kawalsky sitting on a bed, next to him was Teal'c…but it wasn't Teal'c. He didn't have a gold symbol on his forehead and he was flirting heavily with a nurse, very un-Teal'c-like. On the other bed opposite them sat…herself.

"Uh…" she couldn't think of anything to say.

The three of them turned to face her.

"That was my reaction," Jack said from behind her.

"We destroyed the mirror," Sam finally blurted out.

"Apparently there was another one," Jack replied.

Sam continued gawking at the three of them.

"Hi," the other Sam said. "I'm Elaine."

"Elaine?" Sam repeated, looking extremely confused. "Wait let me get this straight…you're me, but you're called Elaine."

Elaine nodded. "This is the first reality we've encountered where you didn't have the same name as me."

"Same," Sam replied. "This is really strange."

"I'm Thomas," the other Teal'c replied.

"Thomas?" Sam blinked. "OK now I'm lost…"

"Apparently I'm an alien here…" he said.

"Why are you here by the way?" Jack asked.

Elaine shot a glance at Thomas. "Our world is being destroyed…"

"How?" Jack asked.

"That's the problem…we don't know," Kawalsky replied.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Jack asked.

"As in we have no idea what's happening to our planet, sir, but everyone's dying, they're getting sick and dying and we have no explanation for it," Elaine replied.

Sam eyed the woman. They hadn't had their clothing changed since they'd arrived. The three of them where wearing SGC clothing, although they were slightly different to the ones worn in their own reality. Sam noted that Elaine and Kawalsky were both Majors and Thomas was a Colonel.

Just then Daniel decided to wander into the infirmary, obviously looking for something specific because he didn't even notice the crowd sitting around on the beds.

"Him," Kawalsky growled.

Daniel looked up. "Whoa! Where'd you come from?"

Sam looked at Elaine and Thomas, their eyes had also narrowed and their jaws were set tight. Something about Daniel…

"They're from an alternate reality, Daniel," Jack replied. "SG-5 brought them back…"

"He's the First Prime of Apophis, he tried to destroy our world…" Kawalsky grumbled.

"Me?" Daniel asked.

"Yeah you…" Elaine said. "Sir, is he a friend here?"

Jack nodded. "Sure is…trust me Daniel wouldn't hurt a fly unless they were trying to hurt him."

Sam did notice Elaine continually called Jack 'sir', as if she knew him. She wondered if in their world they were engaged, or married or something…or if Elaine's world resembled hers rather than the other realities they had met.

There was a continued awkward silence as everyone in the room stared at Daniel. Janet interrupted it by walking into the middle of the group with some sort of medical equipment.

"That's enough, I want everyone out of here," she said. "Out!"

Everyone turned around and wandered out of the infirmary. Sam was completely confused, so she decided to head back to her lab to figure some stuff out.

~*~*~*~

Daniel wandered back into his office, confusion written all over his face. Lieutenant Shaw looked up and smiled at him.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Huh?" Daniel asked, suddenly realising there was another person in the room. "Oh…nothing…never mind. Where were we?"

"Uh, we were looking at Mayan cultures, trying to find a device which looks something like this one we found…unsuccessfully," Shaw replied.

"Right…" Daniel said, picking up a book.

He didn't read it though, he was lost in his thoughts, wondering why whenever he ran into an Alternate Reality he was always dead…or this time evil. He wondered what had made him choose not to join the SGC…or SGA…or whatever this reality called their SGC.

"Uh, Dr Jackson…" Shaw said.

Daniel looked up. "Yeah?"

"You're holding your book upside down…" she said.

"Oh…" Daniel flipped his book back up the right way and started flicking through, looking for a picture of the device.

~*~*~

Sam looked at her clock. An hour had passed since the strange happenings in the infirmary. She stood up and rubbed her eyes only to find herself…Elaine…standing in the doorway of her lab.

"Whoa…how long have you been there?" Sam asked.

"I just got here…sorry if I scared you," Elaine said.

"No, its fine…" Sam said. "Uh…you wanna come in?"

"No thanks, I'm just looking around. Your SGH is exactly the same as ours from what I can see," Elaine said.

"SGH?" Sam repeated.

"Stargate Headquarters…" Elaine smiled. "Yours is called the SGC right?"

"Yeah, Stargate Command," Sam replied. "So Te…I mean Thomas, is he your CO?"

"No, Colonel O'Neill's my CO, Thomas is head of SG-2," Elaine replied. "Kawalsky's his second-in-command. I was just on a mission with them because they needed an astrophysicist."

"You know you can't stay here too long because of…"

"…entropic cascade failure?" Elaine asked.

Sam nodded.

"We fixed that problem…" Elaine replied.

Sam looked up. "You did?"

"Well we didn't…you know how there are two mirrors? Well you only found the first one, the second one was modified – we don't know exactly what it does, but we do know it doesn't cause entropic cascade failure when you use the second mirror," Elaine said.

"That's not possible…" she replied.

"It is," Elaine said.

"So you're planning on staying here forever?"

Elaine shook her head. "No…we need to save our world. As the Colonel would say – two Carter's are better than one."

"So you are a Carter?" Sam asked.

Elaine nodded. "I guess we have some things in common…is your father a Tok'ra?"

Sam nodded. "This is really strange. Your reality is so far the closest to ours we've encountered. Except in our reality Kawalsky is dead…he was captured by a Goa'uld on our first mission to Chulak."

"And in your world Thomas was First Prime of Apophis rather than…Daniel was it?" Elaine asked.

Sam nodded again. "What's he called in your world?"

"Da'ark," Elaine whispered. "He tried to destroy our base…"

"I guess that would explain your reaction to seeing Daniel in our infirmary," Sam replied. "Uh I hate to say it, but speaking of Daniel I promise him I'd meet him in his office about five minutes ago so I gotta go."

"OK," Elaine said. "I'll go back to my quarters…and I'll see you around."

Sam watched her twin leave. It was even more disturbing than the other Sam who had come through the gate. This one had her haircut, her military clothing. It was extremely disconcerting.

At least she's not kissing the Colonel in front of you, Sam thought to herself. She pushed that memory from her mind, it wasn't something she liked to remember. She grabbed some things and headed towards Daniel's office.

Just when you thought nothing else strange could happen, something like this occurs.
