writer's block!!!
;P Cheerio, Ya'll!!!
Jonas looked up and found himself in a place he never thought that he would see again. Before him, lying in a pool of light, was Jenna. Everything appeared to look exactly the way it had that first time he'd seen her. A confused spirit trapped in the recesses of his mind. For that was were he knew they were, locked in his subconsciousness. He walked over to her and knelt down on one knee beside her.
"Jenna," Jonas called taking a hold of her shoulder and giving a gentle shake.
Jenna slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Jonas. A slight smile graced her lips as she then looked around and realized where she was. "This looks familiar."
"You should know," he said returning her smile as he gave Jenna his hand and helped her sit up. "You brought me here."
Jenna held on to Jonas's hand and studied it for a moment before looking up and studying his face. "No, Jonas, it's you who brought *me* here."
"What?"
"I didn't do this, Jonas. It was you," Jenna replied with a note of awe in her voice. "Who would have thought such a thing possible?"
"This can't be possible," He replied, truly confused by what she was saying. "I've never been able to do anything remotely like this."
"What about when you had premonitions of the future?" She asked.
"I don't think that qualifies, Jenna. It was an anomaly, a result of a tumor. There's been nothing since the surgery."
Jenna placed her hand upon his cheek, fingers gracing his temple, and looked into Jonas's eyes. "Maybe you're right, Jonas, but maybe you're not. It can't have all been me."
Jonas thought about it for a moment. Maybe more than memory sharing had occurred all those months ago. He supposed that he must have had a predisposition towards some form of mental abilities to begin with in order for either event to have occurred. Jonas looked to the woman before him and felt a bit of his own sense of wonder rise as he contemplated what this would mean.
Jenna suddenly looked up as if sensing something. "Something's happening in the real world," Then the next instant she pulled her hands away from Jonas and grabbed her stomach as if she were in pain. She never made a sound even when he reached out to her.
The instant he touched her, the environment around them changed and Jonas looked around himself to find that he was back in the temple of that godforsaken planet that they had just left. Only it looked a little different.
The pillars were all standing and the stones were a slightly different shade, but the designs along the walls and the ceiling were the same.
When Jenna stood up, it was as if she hadn't just been in a state of agony. She also looked different. Younger. That wasn't the only thing though, her jet black hair fell to just below her shoulders and she was also wearing her old cadet uniform from when she'd planned on becoming a part of the Interplanetary Transit Police back in her home reality.
"Sir, are you sure were supposed to be here?" she asked looking off to her right.
Jonas stood and was about to ask what she meant when, following the direction of her gaze, he saw a man stepping out from behind a pillar making notes on what looked like a palm pilot.
"I've already told you this before, cadet," he said stepping toward the Stargate's dias. "I got permission to do exploratory observations around the temple to expand upon what little information we have on this planet."
"Jenna, what's going on?" Jonas asked.
"Doctor Noran," Jenna turned then, walking right through Jonas as if he wasn't there, went to join the doctor.
Jonas quickly realized that what he was seeing must be a memory. Nothing about it seemed familiar to him in the slightest so he assumed that it must have been one of the first memories to have faded from his mind that had belonged to Jenna.
He watched as Jenna came close to her companion who was now knelling by the base of the dias taking notes on what he was reading. She had her hand on the zat that was holstered to her hip and she kept looking back at the temple's entrance. "Exactly how much more time do you need?" she asked.
"Relax, Ms. Reeyu. We won't be long," came the patient reply. Then the man noted her hand resting on her sidearm and paused in what he was doing. "You really don't have to worry. It's clear no one has even been in this temple for decades."
"But the stories, Doctor...about the people who had come here before and the few who managed to make it out. They say that the people who live here are extremely xenophobic. They kill all who trespass."
"Those stories are almost a century old. There's nothing to worry about now," he said. Then gesturing towards the opening he continued, "The probes we sent here have found nothing but ruins and no signs of any civilization being present in the past few years. They've most likely moved on to a place that noone would ever bother them."
"I understand that, Doctor. It's just that...I feel so uneasy here. As if we're being watched and I've learned not to ignore my feelings."
Jonas watched as Jenna continued to watch the entrance and the doctor decided to end the discussion by going back to his observations. He began to feel an underlying tension coming from Jenna and felt, rather than saw, her tense up and pull her zat out.
Looking towards the temple entrance, he saw what he'd seen before. The disturbance in the air that betrayed the alien presence was clear as four of them entered and came toward the two unwelcome visitors. A blast came from one of the aliens and Jenna quickly pushed Dr. Noran aside, avoiding the blast. She rose up and began firing randomly.
;P Cheerio, Ya'll!!!
