"Well look who's up. Good morning Miss Rosenberg, how do you feel?"
"Daniel?" Willow asked looking around the room for the strange mystery man who she had come to like and trust even though she only knew as much as his name.
"He's not here. Col. O'Neill dragged him out of here half an hour ago to freshen up and eat something.... He hasn't left your side the entire time."
"Who are you? How long have I been out? When will Daniel be back?"
"My name is Doctor Fraiser, and you've been out for two days now."
"But where is Daniel?"
"As soon as I give you the medical all clear I'll take you upstairs to see General Hammond." A look of terror flashed across Willow's face. "Don't worry, Daniel will be there."
Willow relaxed considerably but not completely as the doctor began checking her pupils. She could only pray now that she had made the right decision by accepting the powers offer to bring her back.

"Ah, Doctor Fraiser, good to see you, and Miss. Rosenberg I must say that you are looking considerably better." General Hammond stated sincerely with a kind smile on his face.
Willow just nodded as she scanned the room. The only people in there were the people she had last seen in the med lab. She quietly took a seat between General Hammond and Janet and waited for them to begin.
"Willow, we don't want you to be frightened of us," General Hammond began softly. "We know all about you and The Scooby Gang as well as your friends from L.A."
A look of pure terror arose once again on Willow's face as she muttered a few words before a barrier of slightly purple coloured energy erected its self around her.
"Whoa!" Jack cried out. "What the hell is that?"
"A barrier. To keep me safe from you...the Initiative." Willow stated.
"Willow I can assure you that we are not and do not belong to the Initiative. I believe that it is time to tell you who we really are."
"General, are you sure that we should..."
"It's alright Colonel Its only fair. We know everything there is to know about her, its time that we share that courtesy."
"Yes, I agree that we should share our knowledge." Teal'c spoke up. "For example Willow Rosenberg is it not true that you once claimed that in another dimension similar to our own vampires rode people like trained miniature equestrians?"
Willow blushed violently.
"Because the Goa'uld have used human slaves for many purposes over the ages but never have they used them as a mode of transportation. Tell me was it very effective use of transportation?"
Willow was still blushing violently and began to relax, but she didn't let her barrier down but leaned back in her chair to listen to what they decided to tell her.

"Miss. Rosenberg...Willow are you alright?" The General asked cautiously, while looking between Willow and the worried glances of Janet.
Doctor Fraiser, General Hammond and all of SG1 had just spent the past three hours recalling their entire history to the currently silent red head. Willow was floored, there was just so many things to absorb right now... like that aliens were real... that one was a shocker. But above everything she heard, above learning about the new people's, lands, and technologies they had encountered and the experiences they had lived she now understood one thing. Why she was to be bound to Daniel.
Daniel.
Poor, sweet Daniel who had lived through just as much heartbreak as she had. They both lived dangerous lives and would probably live the same life expectancy anyway...
Willow shuddered as she experienced a mental rush. She knew how to bind herself with Daniel. Willow muttered a couple of words and the shield disappeared.
"Willow," Janet began to ask but was shot down quickly by Willow with a bright smile.
Willow stood up and everyone else followed suit. They watched as she walked around the table towards Daniel. She stood in front of his for a moment just staring into his eyes, before taking his head in both her hands and bending it down slightly. Willow placed the softest kiss onto Daniel's forehead and the room exploded in a flash of bright white light for a moment before returning to normal. Willow released Daniel and he stared at he quizzically.
"Wha-what just happened here?"
"I uhh, I bound myself to you," Willow replied quickly regaining her old sense of shyness.
"Oh!"
"D-Don't worry, it IS permanent but it won't affect your life at all! See all it means is that when you die, I die, cause I can't like die on my own anymore. And I need to die at some point because no one can live forever and the PTB have things for me to do after I die so its not like I'll be unhappy or anything cause I'll still have things to do...Sorry Willow babble, I'll shut up now."
"So let me get this straight, you and I are bound together until I die, in which case you'll die too because you made a deal with the Powers That Be who say that you are unable to die on your own when the time comes."
"Umm yeah that's pretty much it exactly."
"And there's.... No way to reverse it?"
"Nope"
"Umm Willow, this may seem like a silly question to you but why me? Why do you have to be bound to me?"
"Because you awoke me. Plus I figure that your kinda my soul mate too. Kinda convenient really."
"Ugh General I think that we should take a break," Jack offered up heartily in order to break the tension.
"Agreed, go get some rest everyone, we'll meet again tomorrow. Same Time."
And with that Janet silently took Willow by the arm and led her back to the med lab while everyone else filed out leaving Daniel alone in his thoughts.
