Chapter 4: Explanations

"Just what in the Sam-hells name is going on here!?!" General Hammond bellowed at SG-1 as they walked off of the elevator, with Buffy in tow, "She is into authorised to be in this area! Hell, we don't even know her name!"

"Good volume" Buffy muttered, slightly awed by the force behind that bellow, O'Neill heard the comment, and tried in vain to resist the urge to snicker.

"We must discuss this in private, General Hammond"

"My office, Now" Hammond replied, anger radiating from his voice as he gestured SG-1 and Buffy in front of him.

SG-1 took one look at Hammonds face and grabbing Buffy they quickly double timed it to Hammond's office. This was not going to be fun.

"O'Neill, maybe you would care to start?"

"Well, we were in the cafeteria when Airman Reynolds came in with a message for Teal'c, saying that the Tarithna was at the gate, Teal'c left in kind of a hurry and we followed, arriving at the guardroom in time to see Buffy here bend a solid iron bar into a perfect circle using only her hands"

Carter gave up examining the bar, looking for evidence of trickery and dropped it onto Hammond's desk with a solid thunk. Hammond picked it up, and tried to bend it, having no effect. He dropped it back onto the desk;

"Are you trying to tell me this young lady bent that?" He asked his voice disbelieving.

Buffy shrugged, picked the iron bar back up and bent it with a screech of protesting metal until it was straight again before dropping it back onto Hammond's desk. Hammond caught himself staring in disbelief, and quickly closing his mouth asked;

"Just who the hell are you?"

"Buffy Anne Summers, also known as The Slayer, or Tarithna. As Giles used to put it, 'Unto each generation a slayer is called, one girl in all the world given the strength and knowledge to fight the demons vampires and monsters, she is the slayer' Of course, there is no longer just me, there are several hundred slayers running about now, and that job description doesn't mention prophetic dreams involving the words 'Many have said that, but you are the first I believe could do it!'"

The members of SG-1 visibly stiffened in their seats, turning to stare at Buffy.

"Those are the exact words I told O'Neill on Chulak" Teal'c said, a hint of surprise in his voice.

"I got the cliff-notes version 3 nights ago, including images of this place and the definite hint I was needed here" Buffy added.

"Miss Summers, we will need to investigate who you are, you understand?"

"Yep, but shouldn't you just have to access the initiative files on me?"

"Initiative?" O'Neill asked.

"Military operation that set itself up gung-ho fashion in Sunnydale, didn't last too long before they got an up close and personal intro into exactly how dangerous demons and Frankenstein monsters can be"

"Demons, could they be Goa'ulds, or other aliens mistaken for creatures of demonic nature?" Daniel wondered.

"No" the reply came almost simultaneously from Buffy, O'Neill and Hammond, Doctor Jackson glanced around at them in surprise.

Buffy shrugged, "Chosen warrior remember, these things are not aliens"

"You get to see a lot of things on black ops, you ever adapt and learn to live with it, or lose it. Trust me, not aliens" O'Neill added.

"How many aliens survive 45 9 millimetre rounds, then turn to dust when a bit of wood is shoved through their heart", Hammond turned to Buffy, "Does the name India Cohen mean anything to you?"

"She's the slayer whose death resulted in me being called" Buffy answered, quietly.

"She saved my life from a vampire attack quite a few years ago now, O'Neill" Hammond turned to face the CO of SG-1, "Take Miss Summers to the VIP area for the moment"
