Just a bit of food.
A groan from the bed made Daniel look up from the book he was reading aloud.
"Janet, I think she's waking up."
"Okay. I'll phone the General." She said as she walked into her office, she picked up the handset and dialled the extension. "General, the girl is waking up...yes Sir, I'll let the Colonel know immediately." She hung up and dialled the Colonel's office. "She's waking up Sir."
She walked back to the girl's bed and took her temperature; she checked her vitals and removed the IV line from her hand. The hairs on the back of Janet's neck rose, she looked at the girl again only to find her looking back.
"Hello sweetie, I'm Doctor Fraiser. You're alright, you're in the SGC infirmary." She whispered trying to soothe the frightened girl who was trying to scramble away.
"Brianna!" Cried a voice from the door.
The girl looked towards Jack and relaxed a little bit.
"Sut wyt ti? (How are you?)" He said walking over to the Brianna. The girl wrinkled up her nose in response. "Wyt ti eisiau bwyta? (Do you want food?)"
The girl didn't respond; she was too busy trying to peel the plaster off her hand without it hurting.
"Brianna," He said taking her hand. "Are you hungry?"
She studied his face for a few minutes then slowly nodded her head.
"Kay. Doc, can Danny and I take Bri to the commissary?"
"I don't see why not, just remember she's still weak and isn't used to crowds." She smiled at the girl. "I'll go and find her some comfy clothes."
------------------------------------
Twenty minutes later, the trio walked into the commissary, it was quite full and Brianna was getting a bit restless.
"Hey Danny, why don't I go get a plate full of food while Bri and you find a quite table to sit at?"
"Sure Jack." The young Doctor smiled taking the hint.
"I'll be back in a minute." He called over his shoulder as he walked towards the queue.
"Come on Bri, there's a table at the back free." Daniel took the girl's hand and pulled her towards the corner.
They walked past tables full of people laughing and joking, some turned to look at the famous archaeologist of SG1 with a teenager who was doing her best to hide behind him.
"Hey Jackson!" Yelled one of the Marines. "Who you got there?"
"None of your business Redmond." He said pushing past the muscular man. A crowd had started to form around the scene.
"Course it's my business Danny Boy! You starting something?" Redmond pushed Daniel into a table.
"No, I wouldn't waste my breath on some one like you!"
Daniel closed his eyes as he saw Redmond's fist getting closer to his face. He waited for the impact, nothing happened. He slowly opened his eyes and couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Brianna was shielding Daniel from the burly, 6"3' Marine and was holding the man's fist away, slowly crushing it. The crowd was silently staring at the 5"4' teenager with a determined scowl on her face, who had Redmond fighting back tears.
"Brianna!" Yelled the Colonel as he made his way through the crowd.
"Jack, he did start it."
"I know what happened Danny." He said putting the tray of food on to a table and pulling the girl away from the Marine. "Redmond, get your ass up to the infirmary then get it to Hammonds office. We don't tolerate bullies in this facility!"
"Yes Sir." The Marine whispered and high-tailed it from the room.
"The rest of you get back to whatever you were doing before." He yelled at the airmen and women standing around.
"Stupid Marines." He muttered under his breath. "Okay Bri, we have sausages, mash potatoes, chips, peas, ham, bread, biscuits and jello. Take your pick."
The girl looked at the food and started to nibble on a piece of bread.
-----------------------------
"So Colonel, how exactly has Captain Redmond broken his knuckles?" Fraiser pounced on the trio as soon as they entered the infirmary. "If my facts are correct he broke them in the commissary."
"Well you see I didn't exactly see what happened, it was Daniels fault!" Jack quickly handed the blame over to Daniel. He then took Brianna over to her bed and got out a colouring book he found and some crayons.
"Daniel?"
"I didn't do it. It was Brianna. Redmond started an argument, he was going to hit me but Bri stopped him."
"She's that strong? She doesn't look it."
"Yeah, I know." He looked over to where Jack was busy demonstrating his drawing skills to Brianna. They were laughing at something-or-other and she seemed so innocent.
A groan from the bed made Daniel look up from the book he was reading aloud.
