"Stargates, Dragons, and Amazons"

Ch. 4

(Planet PX5-369)

Jack, Teal'c, Samantha, Trisana and Daniel sat around the fire, hands in their pockets. They were doing there best to keep warm.

"I hate the cold!" Tris complained yet again.

"Stop thinking about it then," Sam said.

"How do I do that?" she was getting crabby.

"Tell us about you," Sam suggested. "We still don't know that much about you."

"Got any family?" Jack asked.

"No,"

"Any friends?" Sam asked.

"Excluding you guys, General Hammond, and Janet? No,"

"Beauty tips?"

Tris had to laugh at that last question. You gotta give the Colonel credit for trying, she thought to herself.

"What?" Jack said. "It's a good question!"

"What happened to your family, Trisana Fox?" Teal'c asked.

"They died when I was . . . Very young," she said. "The last day we were together was the day I found out I was a mage. I was three years old. I had healed my mother's cut from that morning,"

"How did they die?" Daniel asked gently.

"My mother was killed in a car wreck the night I had developed my power. A week later my father committed suicide," she explained.

"Why?" Sam asked.

"I don't know," Tris said. "That week was a blank. I can't seem to remember any of it."

"Why would that happen?" Jack asked Sam.

She shrugged.

But Tris said, "I don't know the answer to that either. All I know is that after my father died I started to develop my other powers,"

*Flashback*

(Geneomex)

Michael Fox took a scared Trisana out of the car and entered to tall building. Michael read the sign on the building: Geneomex: Splitting one gene at a time. The air was stale and cold inside. He took her into a small circular operation room. They waited for awhile until a tall black haired man entered the room. Michael explained why they were there.

Tris was sitting on the table as they talked, she couldn't hear what they were saying. The man, Dr. Kane, and her father walked over to the three year old. Michael kissed her on the cheek and left with out saying a word. Tris started to cry, he wanted her father back. But he just kept walking away without looking back. Dr. Kane eased her quickly, then injected a needle into her arm and gave her an anesthetic. She fell slowly to sleep.
