"Dr. Carter!" Siler cried out from across the room as he entered Teal'c's apartment. He surprised himself when he didn't use her former rank and addressed her accordingly.
Sam looked up and smiled, "Siler! How are you?"
Siler chuckled, "Exhausted! Is there any chance I can convince you to rejoin us and work at the SGC?"
Sam cringed, "Is it that bad?"
"It'd be a lot easier if you were there! The new scientists aren't as good as you were! I've gotten shocked and injured more in the last year than in the first seven years at the SGC!"
Sam laughed, she didn't know how to respond to that. On a certain level she had missed working at the SGC, but she didn't regret the past year. She had found herself and she had lived.
Next to her, Carlos looked between the two reunited co-workers. He was shocked, "You worked at Stargate Command?"
Sam's face became serious, "Uh, yeah…"
"Why didn't you ever tell me? This is amazing? What did you do there? You only told me that you worked with the Air Force!"
Sam blushed at the attention she received from her boyfriend, "Not much… a lot of research."
Siler balked, "Ha! I can't even remember how many times you saved the world, and a couple other ones!"
Carlos turned to look at Sam, "Why didn't you ever tell me?"
Sam shrugged her shoulders, "Even though the SGC is public knowledge, they still have to do their jobs. That's all I did, my job."
"If I had saved the world on numerous occasions I would tell everyone I knew!"
Sam merely shrugged her shoulders. She wasn't that kind of person. Besides it was always the team that ended up saving the world- not one person alone.
