Blood Ties

Well I wish to send out a big thank you to those of you who do read this fic and reviewed asking me to continue. I will indeed continue this story to the end knowing that there are at least a few people who read it, I'm very happy knowing that people do read this. I would like to say one thing about the ages before I continue I know they don't make any sense and could never really happen if I stuck to the true time line but I wanted/needed Andy to be 18 in this fic and I really had no set age for any of the others, so just run with me on this one. And lastly as always if there is anything you think I could improve upon please do tell me.

Chapter 6: Death?

The weeks with the Tok'ra passed uneventfully for SG-1 and Andy. It wasn't long before they had everything they had asked for and they were true to their word "For once." Jack commented. A few weeks later they were meeting with the Asguard.

"What do you mean that you can't do anything?!" Andy cried.

"I'm sorry, but we have discovered that the process is to dangerous to be reversed now. Had we been able to complete it weeks ago it might have been possible."

"So what you're saying is that you can't fix what you screwed up. If you guys were going to do this you should have made sure that you could put things back the way they were."

"Col."

"Zip it major! These guys screwed up and they have nothing that can change that."

"O'Neill it's..it's alright I mean I can live with it. It's not like it's going to kill me or anything." She turned back to the Asguard representative. "It won't will it?"

"No. Shall we take you back to earth then."

"Yeah that would be good."

"O'Neill please! They didn't mean for this to happen! I mean things got out of their control, it wasn't intentional." Andy pleaded with the Col.

"She's right sir." O'Neill turned to look at his second in command.

He just glared at her. "Let's go home."

"AHH!" Mark let out a scream of pain. "ALEX!"

In an observation deck above five people watched the man yelling in pain below.

"That will be all for today."

"But Alex there is so much more we could learn."

"No Anne. He's gone through enough for today and the next several days I think. We have more than enough data to study."

Anne stormed out of the room. Over the past several weeks torturing Mark had become a hobby of sorts for her and Alex knew that with each passing day she would be harder to control as anger took over her unstable mind.

"Watch her closely. If anything should happen I want her out of here is that understood?"

"Sure thing Alex." A man of about 28 answered. "Hey Alex?"

"Yeah David?" Alex turned back to the man.

"Don't you think we're pushing him a little to far?"

"No, we have yet to see the full extent of his abilities. I don't think he has either." He sighed, " I suppose we will discover them together. Let him sleep undisturbed for the rest of the night we shall begin 07 tomorrow."

Neither could have heard it at the time but as Mark Carter lost consciousness his mind reached out for two others in the galaxy.

SG-1 had reached earth in a short time. But before they left the Asguard asked to meet with Andy one last time.

"Andromeda, your powers will grow as you are still a teen and have yet to reach any limits as far as your mind is concerned. But know that shortly you will begin to have limits on what you can do and how far you can push. Should you try to push those limits once they have been set it could be fatal."

Andy looked at the Asgurad seriously. "Thank you for your concern." She said politely.

"We meant no harm this was not our doing nor our wish."

"I understand, and thank you for telling me." She turned to go, and then turned back. "What of my father?"

"He is bound by the limits that adulthood brings to your species. What powers he has right now is all he will ever have."

"Then he can not learn to control them anymore than he already has? No chance of strengthening them?"

"None I'm afraid."

All of a sudden afraid Andy asked "What will happen if someone tried to push him mentally farther than he could go?"

"I have told you pushing beyond your limits could be fatal the same is true to your father."

"Please return me to earth now I must find my dad before they kill him!"

"As you wish."

"Thank" A bright light shone in her eyes she blinked her eyes several times to adjust to the light "you" but she was already back in the SGC. Looking around she saw everyone was there. "Not much for goodbyes are they?"

"No, not really." Daniel replied.

"General sir." O'Neill turned to look at his commanding officer.

"Move get out of here now!"

"Why sir?" Carter asked.

"They're here again and now they know of the Stargate. Get Andy out of here Frasier."

"Sir." She nodded and pulled Andy out of the room just as the agents walked in the other door.

"You must be Maj. Samantha Carter." One said as they walked into the room. It was more of a statement than a question.

"Doc what's going on where are you taking me?!" Andy tired to get out of her grip and the doctor pulled her along trying to put as much distance between her and the gate room as she could before the agents figured out what was going on.

"Be quiet!" She snapped rather harshly. "Sorry but the agents are back, or they never left and we were about 10 seconds ahead of them. Too close a call if you ask me."

Andy just nodded. Then she gasped and doubled over.

"Andy! Andy speak to me! What's wrong?" Frasier put her arms around the girl to support her till she could regain the strength to support herself.

"Dad.." Was all Andy choked out.

"What about Mark Carter?"

"He's in so much pain! They're pushing him beyond his limits! They're going to kill him!" Tears formed in the teen's eyes. She looked more like a lost child now than a young woman bordering on adulthood much like when she had first met her.

"What do you mean? When will they kill him? How?"

"The Asguard told me that after we reach adulthood if we try to push out limits mentally, try to surpass them, it could be fatal." He voice dropped to a whisper "They'll kill him trying to find those limits and trying to pass them."

"I am what can I do for you?" Sam asked looking at the two men trying to get general appraisal of the men.

"We're agents looking for your niece Andromeda Carter."

"I haven't seen her in a long time. She must be what 16? 17? By now." Sam tired her best to feign innocence. The others played along.

"18 to be exact and as such old enough to be charged with aiding and abetting a federal fugitive."

I know I'm being a tad cruel stopping here but I kinda hit a blank here and I gotta think about where I'm going to take it from here I could go one of two directions here and I need to think about which I should take I'll try my best to update as soon as possible.
