"The Unexplainable"
Ch. 6
The Tree House, 1920's
"Let's see these powers of yours, then, Tris," Roxtin said.
"Okay," Trisana stretched out her hand. "I can control the elements. Water," a ball of water swirled in her palm. She squashed it. "Fire," a ball of fire burned where the water had been. She then squashed that too. "Lightening," Sparks of lightening jumped from finger to finger. She played with them, watching the explorers gasp in amazement while SG-1 smiled. Tris finally smashed the lightening. "Wind," a mini hurricane rose from her palm. Tris smashed it with both of her hands. "And last but not least, Earth," green vines grew from her wrist. A vine moved in front of Veronica. A yellow rose flourished. "Go ahead. Pick it off."
Veronica reluctantly cut the rose off. The rose vine quickly died and turned to dust.
"That rose will last for a few months," Tris smiled at Veronica. She turned to SG-1 and asked, "What else?"
"There's that feral thing you got," Jack said.
"Oh, right," She turned to the explorers. "I have these feral senses." Her eyes flashed from her green ones to her orange feral ones. They all jumped, except for SG-1. "I can see, smell, and hear far better than humans, or Goa'ulds," she grinned.
"Then there's the healing power you were actually born with before the experiments," Daniel said.
"I'm a mage. First one in 5 generations," Tris said.
"Hang on. What experiments?" Malone asked.
"I'll explain later. I'm not done telling you about my powers," she said. "I'm a Telepath, I can reach into people's minds," Seeing the nervous glances she got from their faces she added, "Don't worry, I never really use that one," Tris continued, "I'm also a Telekinetic, which means I can move objects with my mind," she turned to her friends and said, "Have I missed any? It's been so long since I used my powers."
"No, I think that's it," Sam said.
"What about the experiments?" Marguerite asked.
"There was a genetic science division of our government called Geneomex. My father took me there. I'm not sure why. But, a week later I developed my other powers. Over time they merged with my magical power, which made them a little easier to deal with, I suppose," Tris explained.
"The doctor who worked on her enhanced her DNA," Sam asked.
"Why would your father do something like that?" Challenger asked.
"I'm not sure. But there's a way to find out," she said.
"How?" Roxtin asked.
"First I need 5 candles placed in a circle and, Jack, I'm gonna need the journal," Tris said. "I'm gonna summon a spirit."
"Whose spirit are you going to summon, Trisana," Teal'c asked.
"My fathers. I'd like some answers. And you know to call me Tris, Teal'c," she answered calmly.
Jack came back with the journal and Veronica placed the five candles in a circle, and then lit them. Samantha helped Tris up. Jack handed the book to her. Everyone stood next and behind her.
"K, here it goes," she said.
She flipped through the book and found the spell. She took a deep breath and read aloud: 'Hear these words, hear my cry,
Spirit from the other side.
Come to me, I summon thee
Cross now the great divide'
Tris snapped the book closed as a gust of wind swirled around inside the circle of candles. Three small lights floated in the air, and then Tris's father appeared in front of the group.
