Chapter 25: Holy Alien Ships, Batman!
Xander gaped in amazement as they materialized aboard Thor's ship.
"Holy Alien Ships, Batman!" he commented quietly, his voice filled with awe as he gazed around at the sleek design, the curved surfaces, the luminescent oily metals…
"Nice set of wheels you have here, Thor" Xander was finally able to get out.
"As I have told O'Neill on many occasions, no Asgard vessel is equipped with anything as primitive as 'wheels'"
Xander looked approvingly at the diminutive alien, "and he comes up swinging…"
"Indeed, a trait I have learned from O'Neill" Thor replied as he waved a small rod over O'Neill's injury. Xander noticed it and snickered,
"Need a small rod to repair the smallest rod I see…"
"It's not what you've got, it's what you do with it that counts" O'Neill replied, his voice pained, "and unless you've been looking, how would you know what size it is?"
"Don't look, names not Andrew, and you didn't deny the smallest rod comment"
"I believe this is called Innuendo is it not?" Thor asked, looking mildly bemused, or at least as mildly abused as the alien ever did, "O'Neill, as long as you don't… 'Exercise' for three days you will be fine"
O'Neill looked insufferably pleased as Thor beamed him off the ship; Thor it seemed had picked up innuendo, one of his less used skills from him. Made him wonder what else Thor had learned.
"Xander, Companion to the Tarithna, you have a choice, our technology can replace your missing eye with no problems, however we do have the option to… upgrade your sight. That will require that both your eyes are replaced though and there is a slight risk of loss of sight"
Xander dropped the goofball act, and asked carefully "What kinds of upgrades are we talking about…"
Xander grinned as the Asgard device relinquished him from its grasp; for once the Zeppo was going to have an advantage, for once he would have the advantage over the other scoobies… 'well actually', Soldier boy butted in, 'your greater knowledge of military tactics and operations has given you an advantage since you got to the SGC'.
'True', Xander noted, 'but you didn't protest the upgrades…'
'Bloody right I didn't' Soldier boy replied, before he retreated, leaving Xander with his thoughts.
'Bloody' that was the first time Soldier boy had said, or done anything which indicated which country he might have been from. 'Bloody', that was Giles speak, was soldier boy from England? He shuddered, then turned to thank Thor.
