Hellmouth – Sunnydale

She passed out. He just couldn't believe it! They had just shared a very fluffy moment that reminded him of the fairy tales he used to hear as a small child where it's like pure heaven and love at first sight, and he was ready to lean down and kiss her and she passes out. Daniel sighed as he looked at her again. She looked so young and innocent. He couldn't believe that she had done the things he had read about, it just boggled his mind. He was snapped out of his thoughts when Jack called to him and told him that transport had arrived.

Colorado

Jack looked across the table at Daniel who had just taken his glasses off and was rubbing his eyes. The guy looked beat. He had stayed at Willow's side all the way back to Colorado to the base. The only reason he was here instead of in the med lab was because the General ordered him said 'if Doctor Fraiser is going to the de-briefing you are too'. And now after the Janet had dropped the bombshell he looked like he was ready to fall apart.

"Coma."

Oh yeah he was buying him a beer after the de-briefing.

"How is that possible, I-I mean she responded to me back at the crater. How could she just slip into a coma?"

"We're not entirely sure at this point, we need to run some more tests but at this point the theory is that she's completely drained of all her magical energy. Her vitals are down but they should return to normal once she gets enough rest."

Daniel just looked at the Doc with such trust and yet at the same time disbelief. Oh yeah he was gonna get everyone drunk and forget about their little situation. Daniel was getting to attached to this Willow girl. He had such a big heart and wore it on his sleeve. Women always ended up hurting him in the end even if it is unintentional.

"Well," General Hammond piped up. "If that is everything I say we adjourn for now and meet again at 0900 for a status report. Everyone go and get some sleep please."

Jack followed Sam, Janet, and Daniel down to the med lab. He was there for two reasons: to look out for Daniel, and to just see how this Willow kid was doing. Just as they reached the door buzzers started going off.

"Doctor Fraiser hurry, she's flat lining!" one of the nurses called out.

Oh shit, thought Jack, this isn't good. This isn't good at all! He held Daniel back and watched as Doc Fraiser and two nurses worked furiously to revive Willow. But after 5 minutes his hope diminished.

"I'm sorry,' Doctor Fraiser said. "But there was just nothing we could do. Her condition was much weaker than we thought. Willow Rosenberg is dead."
