"Alliances of Magic and Science"
Chapter 7
(P5X-245)
The group emerged from the forest and headed for the building the size of a castle, shooting down Jaffa as they went. Once at the back wall Jesse made a door for them.
"Nice," Gunn muttered.
"Well, that's handy," Wes commented.
Nicole and Jesse smiled.
"Does anybody know where Sekhmet would be?" Lexa asked as the group crept down the many hallways.
"Nope," Daniel said.
"Okay, I was just checking," she said.
"Actually I was thinking about that," Brennan said. "You said that Evelyn had the abilities of an empath."
"Yeah," Nicole said. "So?"
"So, couldn't you try and hone in on her using your empath abilities?" Jesse said.
"Theoretically I could. But, I have never done anything like that before," she said.
"Well, there's always a first for everything," Lexa said.
"I'll try," Nicole took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
*
A flash of white light appeared and she was taken very quickly to Sekhmet's main chamber.
Sekhmet grinned and her eyes glowed.
"You want me, come and get me!" she said.
*
Nicole snapped her eyes open and gasped for breath.
"What is it? What'd you see?" Angel asked.
"Sekhmet knows we're here. She wants us to come to her," Nicole said.
"It is clearly a trap," Teal'c said.
"We still have to get her back to earth. The mission hasn't changed," Nicole said.
"We should not take the risk. This sis clearly a plan to get rid of the powerful amongst the Tau'ri," Teal'c pointed out.
"You probably right, Teal'c," Nicole said. "But, we have to at least try to kidnap her. We'll go in. But, everyone be cautious."
They all nodded, Teal'c bowed politely.
"Her chamber is this way," Nicole pointed to the right direction.
(P5X-245, Sekhmet's Chamber)
"Welcome, Mother, Father," Sekhmet said. "I've been waiting for you. Although, I must admit, I wasn't anticipating you to bring your little friends,"
She ginned broadly as the group entered.
"Well, I think you'll find that our little friends have a few tricks up their sleeves," Daniel said.
Mutant X all showed Sekhmet what they could do, Angel and Spike put on their vampire faces, Nicole transformed into her Phoenix form, and the others lifted their Zat's.
"Jaffa, Kree!" she shouted.
Suddenly a bunch of Jaffa came swarming in. The team of hero's spread out and started to fight the never-ending supply of Jaffa. Meanwhile, Sekhmet and Nicole stood face to face. The two grown women fought hand to hand combat. Nicole even managed to take off Sekhmet's Ribbon Device.
"I don't need that anyway," she said.
Then Sekhmet started a Phyonic Blast. But, Nicole just grinned.
"I can do that too,"
Nicole too started her Phyonic Blast. The woman launched their Blast's at one another. But, Nicole's Blast was stronger. The power overwhelmed Sekhmet. Nicole's Blast hit her hard and the Goa'uld flew backwards. Nicole then collapsed on the ground.
Once the battle with the Jaffa was over the Team took an unconscious Sekhmet and Nicole. Back through the Stargate and back to earth. The Tok'ra were waiting for them. Once they got home the Tok'ra extracted the Symbiote from Evelyn.
(SGC, Infirmary)
Several days later Nicole came by the Infirmary to check on Evelyn. Evelyn sat up on the bed, playing with some dolls. Evey was slowly turning back into a 13 month year old. Now that the Nano-sites were gone from her blood, Evelyn is now no older then 5 years old at the moment. Nicole approached her cautiously.
"Hey, kiddo!" Nicole greeted her daughter.
"Hi!" the child said, excitedly.
"What'd ya got there?" she asked.
"Dolly's that Aunt Janet gave me," Evey said, still playing with the dolls. She then stopped playing suddenly and said, "I love you, Mommy."
"I love you too, Sweetie,"
Nicole sat on the bed and held Evelyn into a hug and didn't let go. She cried, rocking back and forth, still clinging to her daughter. Once she was finished Nicole looked down at Evey. She had fallen asleep. Nicole smiled and laid her down on the Infirmary bed and tucked her in, then kissed her good night.
Nicole made her way out of the room and noticed that Daniel was waiting for her in the door way.
"Are you going to be okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, I will," she told him.
Things were definitely looking up, she thought to herself.
"Good,"
Daniel kissed her sweetly. They started to head up to the surface where they would say their good byes to Mutant X, then to Angel Investigations. Mutant X agreed to drop off AI in L.A.
(Ext. SGC)
"We're officially even now," Angel said to Nicole.
"But, don't forget to call us, if you need too," Wes said.
"So, you believe in aliens now?" she asked.
"Sure, why not. I fight demons on a regular basses," he shrugged.
Nicole smiled and hugged him. Angel then hugged her.
"Don't get into too much trouble," he said.
Once she said good bye to them, it was Mutant X's turn. Jesse held up a metal box.
"Open it," he said.
She obeyed. Nicole gasped.
"A Com-link Ring!"
"It's so you could contact us when you need anymore help with the Goa'ulds," Jesse explained.
"Yeah, that way you won't give Shal and me a heart attack," Lexa said.
"Thank you," Nicole gave each of them hugs and gave Brennan and Jesse kisses on their cheeks.
SG-1 watched as the Double Helix lifted off then immediately went to stealth.
"So, are you still going to ask Hammond for a desk job?" Jack asked as the five headed back inside.
"I don't have a choice, honey. I want Evey and her brother or sister to have somewhat of a normal childhood," Nicole said.
"I agree," Daniel said. "But you don't need to give up the thing you love the most!"
She sighed. "I love you and Evelyn the most. And I will do anything to keep the ones I love safe. , including giving up my career."
"As long as you're sure about this," he asked.
"I'm positive," she said. "I'm going to see General Hammond tomorrow morning.
(SGC, Hammond's office)
Nicole stepped inside General Hammond's Office, carrying a 2 year old (Her proper age, where she would be right now with out the Nano-sites) Evelyn.
"General Hammond, sir,' she said.
Hammond looked up from his laptop and smiled.
"Good morning, Doctor," he said. "Have a seat. What can I do for you?"
Nicole sat and put a restless Evey down to play with her dolls.
"I was wondering, sir. I'd like to request that you take me off of SG-1 and give me a desk job instead." She said calmly and clearly.
"Off-course. I'll put you in charge of the Archeological Research Department here on Base," he said. "But, are you sure?"
"Yes, General. Daniel spent al last night trying to change my decision. No matter what he said, I haven't changed my mind." Nicole said.
Hammond nodded, "Very well. I'm giving you a week off before you can go back to work. Mostly to stay with Evelyn."
She nodded. Thank you, sir,"
Nicole got up, picked up Evey and left the office.
The End!!
(Well, almost!)
