CHAPTER TWO: TALKING OT THE ASGUARD
Jack O'Neill had just entered the commissary to have lunch with "the kids" when he experienced a familiar flash of bright light. His team had seen the event and Sam got up and ran to the phone on the wall to notify the General.
"Sir, apparently the Asguard are here, Colonel O'Neill just disappeared from the commissary."
"Thank you, Major, they are help Dr. Jackson with a translation. Please inform him to get ready."
"Will do, Sir."
When she turned back to the table she noticed that Daniel and his cup of coffee were already gone.
//Guess he knew that\\
When she set down she grabbed Daniel's Jell-O.
"He won't be needing that."
"Indeed MajorCarter," and Teal'c grabbed the rest of Dr. Jackson's lunch.

Jack materialized on the Asguard vessel.
"Thor, buddy, you have GOT to start warning people when you do that. So, what's up?"
Thor blinked several times, "up O'Neill?'
"For cryin' out loud! It's just a figure of speech. What do you need?"
"General Hammond summoned me."
"Yeah, that's right, he did mention that you were coming to give Daniel help on an "important" translation. Though since the table is several thousand years old I don't know what the hurry is."
"Very well, O'Neill, I will bring up Dr. Jackson. Do you wish to remain, O'Neill?"
"If it's just the same, Thor, all of Danny's gobbly-gook gives me a headache. Could you send me back, I was just going to get lunch?"
"As you wish, O'Neill. It was good seeing you again."
"You, too, bud..." Flash of light.
A second flash and Daniel Jackson appeared with a cup of coffee in one hand and a file folder in the other.
"You required my help, Dr Jackson?"
"Umm yeah, Thor."
Daniel walked closer to the Asguard and opened the folder and reached in with two fingers (and spilled a little coffee on the folder) and pulled out a photograph of a young woman.
"Havre you ever seen this woman?"
Thor studied the picture closely.
"I have not Dr. Jackson. Who is she?"
"Her name is Victoria O'Neill, she's Jack's wife."
Seeing that Thor was confused, he continued, "Mate?"
"I was not aware that O'Neill had a mate."
"Well he doesn't, at least...Vicky was killed twenty-three years ago."
"If she is dead why do you seek her?"
"Well that's the thing, we have evidence that maybe she isn't dead. I thought maybe she was taken by one of the Asguard. Haven't your people been watching us for a long time?"
"Loki."
"Could you check to see if he or anyone else was near Earth at the time?"
"Of course Dr. Jackson."
Thor went over to what the Asguard use as a computer and looked through the records for several minutes.
"Loki was not there at the time in question." Seeing Daniel's dejected look, he hurried to continue. "However Odin was here."
"Wouldn't he have said something about taking someone from Earth?"
"Not necessarily. I, myself, have not reported many of the times that I have interacted with the Tau'ri."
"Could you check with Odin?"
"Yes, I will meet with him in a few days time."
"Great! Thanks, Thor. Could you do me a favor and not mention this to Jack yet? I don't want to get his hopes up if she isn't alive."
"Of course, Dr. Jackson."
With that, Thor, sent Daniel back to his office with another flash of light. Daniel then ran up to the General's office to report his meeting with the Asguard.

In the commissary Jack reappeared saying, "Dy", to have someone crashes into him from behind. He turned around to find a thoroughly embarrassed Marine.
"I'm s-s-sorry, Sir. I didn't see you, Sir."
"That's OK, I WASN"T there. As you were."
"Sir, yes, Sir."

A few days later on Thor's ship after a lengthy "Discussion" (Asguard actually shouting at each other. Something that hadn't happened in millennium} had taken place. Thor had indeed found out that Odin had taken Victoria O'Neill. Thor had known that Odin did not agree with some of treaty terms with the Go'ould, but didn't realize he had gone so far as to have a Tau'ri who "helped" out by interfering with the protection of the protected races.
Thor went to find Victoria O'Neill and return her to earth. He only hoped his friend world for give him.
