Teal'c came to in the infirmary. Jack sitting next to him on his left. Looking over to the right, he saw Elira hooked up to machines, monitoring her faint pulse. Daniel sat between the two patients, looking lost. "She is a true warrior," his voice cracked coming from his dry mouth. The men looked over at him. Jack gave him some water and he continued. "She fought them, we fought together, before somehow they stunned us. We woke in one of the cages that SG 2 had been in. They took us out in shifts, torturing, yelling at us in some language, I have never heard before. After several days I knew I was dying, I was sure she was just as hurt, she healed me, and told me to go into Kel-no-reem. When I woke she was different, her eyes were the color of flame, much like in Artemis hold. She told me it was time to go. She healed me again. Then the fires started. It was horrifying. People were screaming, she was moving so mechanically, everywhere she looked explosions rang out. I grabbed her and ran. I don't know how we got back to the gate, when we got there you could see the charred bodies where some of their guards had been, but had burned. She passed out as went through the gate." A tear ran down Teal'c's face.
Daniel moved to him, "You did good Teal'c, You didn't let anyone down. You are both here with us, both alive. That is more than we could ask for."
"Danny's right Teal'c. You prove yourself to us again and again. We're just glad you're back."
"She told us," Daniel said looking at the two men, "She told us she was going to heal you, and that she might not make it."
Just then the monitors connecting to Elira went off at a rapid rate. She gasped and opened her eyes. Daniel moved to her quickly. Her eyes were still flame colored. She looked at him as she took in huge gasps of breath.
"Can you hear me?"Daniel asked softly taking her hand.
"Yes, I hear you." she answered in the hollow voice they had come to associate as The Chosen. "Where am I?"
"You're in the infirmary at SGC."
"Yes, I have memory of this place." She sat up and looked around her. "I don't remember how I came to be here."
"What do you remember?"
" I remember pain, great pain, then I remember making them burn. I remember healing a man," she looked towards Teal'c "yes, that is him. Then pain again, then nothing."
"Do you remember your name?" Daniel asked.
"I remember what my mother called me long ago. Eli-Arias Volla. I feel that I should have more memories, yet they are not there. Or perhaps they are, but I cannot feel them." she looked at Daniel's hands holding her one
hand." Should I know you? I feel I do, yet you are not the people I was born to."
"No, you were with another group of people, again not your own race, when we found you. They were killed and you came to stay with us. You've been with us for a few months now."
She tilted her head, "I feel you speak the truth, but I do not remember this."
"Thor should be here soon. Maybe he can figure this out." Jack said to Daniel.
"I wish to move about." she stated, and started to get out of the bed. Her knees gave out and she sank bank onto the edge."Maybe you should just sit tight until Thor gets here, I'll stay with you, we can talk. I can fill you in on anything you want to know. At least the stuff I can answer for you." Daniel told her, helping her back into the bed.
She nodded her assent and started to ask basic questions on where she was and who they were.
Thor entered the room and looked at the girl who had called him father for so long. It would be difficult to tell his human friends that he didn't know if the girl they knew would ever return. The girl now before him had
come into her full powers. He felt the power ebbing off of her. He knew she would still be a great asset to the humans, but he knew that Daniel Jackson wanted more than an ally, and he knew that before these occurrences, she had felt strong feelings for the doctor as well. First she would have to learn to control her new abilities, then they could worry about returning her personality to her.
"Eli-Arias Volla," he spoke softly, she opened her eyes and turned to him.
"Greetings Lord Thor." she spoke to him formally.
"Greetings child of the stars. I am glad to see you well."
"My Lord, where are the rest of my people?"
"Your people were destroyed, do you not remember?" he said and touched a stone to her forehead. Several moments passed and beads of sweat broke out on her brow.
"Yes I remember now." she whispered, "The burning star coming to destroy us. They were so arrogant, thinking that they would survive it. My mother sent me with you."
"Yes, she knew you were special, she wouldn't leave your father, but didn't want anything happening to you."
"I do not recall much else, my lord." she sighed.
"It will come back to you star child. For now you must work with the humans. They will help you learn your new abilities, and will help you learn to control them. I will also stay in the vicinity while I can, in case you
have need of me. Sleep for now. We will begin tomorrow." She nodded and obediently shut her eyes.
Thor met with SG 1 and Jack in the briefing room. " I have given her some aid. She will slowly regain her memories."
"Well that's good, right?" Daniel asked.
"I can not say yet Daniel Jackson. She will regain the memories, but how she perceives them, or how she feels about them, I do not know. Her body went through great trauma, and she came into her abilities earlier than expected. This can also traumatize the body, but it was the only way for them to survive. Somehow she knew this."
"So what do we do now?" Sam asked.
"You will need to start working with her. Get her used to being around you all, do some of the things that she enjoyed in her former dealings. Hone her abilities. She is unlike anything you have seen or will ever see again. I truly believe that had her race survived, you would not have the problem of the Goa'uld now. Their down fall was their arrogance. They were so certain they could survive anything. Luckily she does not share this flaw."
"What can we expect to see from her?" Jack asked.
"Her fighting abilities will be enhanced. Her empathic abilities will have grown, but the ability to project will have decreased. She has ability over fire now,"
"Which explains the explosions." Teal'c stated.
Thor nodded, "yes. From what I saw of her people, they had some telekinetic abilities. Elira also has the ability to mind share. She can exchange memories with others, choosing to share hers, or just take the
other person's."
"Glad she's one of the good guys." Jack muttered.
"Yes, O'Neill, it is very good she is one of 'the good guys.'"
"Elira, sorry Eli-arias," Sam said coming up behind her. She had asked them to call her by her full name since she didn't remember being known as Elira. "Are you ok?"
"I don't know." she frowned, "I keep feeling myself drawn this way, but don't know why."
Sam was rubbing her belly, "Probably because before everything, you and Daniel were very close."
"I do not remember, " She sighed. Then she smiled, and it was almost like having the old Elira there. "Your babes are very hungry, and not at all happy that you have waited so long to feed them."
"Oops, I was just heading down to Commissary to get something to eat. Would you like to come? I think they have some pecan pie down there."
"What is pecan pie?"
"Trust me you love it."Daniel was heading down to the infirmary for some Tylenol. There was a large group gathering right outside of the sparring/work out room. "What's going on?" he asked one of the MP's who was hovering.
"Oh, there's a sparring match going on. Teal'c and the blonde girl Ms. Volla."
Daniel worked his way up through the crowd. He got to the doorway. The two were circling each other, neither in pads. He finally figured out what they were in awe of. Each time Teal'c jabbed out, Elira managed to move out of the way, and the punches he managed to hit didn't even phase her. She was so quick, she landed a blow, and Teal'c actually staggered back. Daniel's eyes widened. Teal'c sent out a punch, Elira dived out of the way, landing in a crouching position. Teal'c bowed to her. She stood up, not even breathing heavy. The group started to disperse. Daniel heard the men muttering how they wouldn't mind sparring with a girl like that, he walked into the room.
"Daniel Jackson," Teal'c said bowing slightly.
She nodded at him as well. Every time he saw her flaming eyes, he felt a pain clench in his stomach. "Dr. Jackson."
"I guess you guys have been busy."
"Yes, actually we are supposed to be working on control next. Daniel Jackson, would it be possible for you to help Eli-Arias with this, After such a work out I feel that Kel-no-reem is required."
"I don't have a problem, as long as she doesn't?" he said, looking at Elira.
"I do not have a problem with this change. We must go to my chambers for this." She turned on her heel and headed out of the room. Daniel walked behind her. She was wearing a black spandex tank top, and long black spandex pants, no shoes. He felt his pulse speed up and he watched her bottom sway as she walked. "I know you have trouble saying my name Dr Jackson, you may still call me Elira if you wish."
They entered her room, and he saw where she had set up a wall full of candles. Most of them had been lit at some point. "I have been working at control of fire." she said seeing that he was looking at the candles. She
shut the door, and motioned for him to sit on the bed.
"How are you feeling?" Daniel asked her, slightly nervous now being alone with her.
"My body is improved. Some memories return, some flicker at the edges. Some memories I have no desire to see returned, yet they come anyway. My lord Thor assures me that once I gain control of these abilities, all of memories will come back more quickly. From what I understand, I will be going on a mission soon." As she spoke, some of the candles were lighting and extinguishing.
"So what can you do?" He asked gesturing towards the candles.
"I will show you, this takes much more of my energy. I think they want someone with me to make sure I don't burn us down." She grinned slightly.
She raised her hands and all of the candles lit, their flames rising to almost touch the ceiling. Then she lowered her hands and pinching her fingers they all went out. She did this several times, adjusting and doing
half the candles at a time, one half going high, one half much lower. She worked for about half an hour. He watched her, the way her face was lit inthe candle light. The way the light made her hair gleam. Finally she leftthem burning low, she turned to face Daniel. "I feel you, you know? Your desire, your sadness." She walked over to him slowly. "If I shut my eyes, and just feel what you are feeling, I feel your hands on my body."
"I'm sorry." he whispered.
"We were lovers?" she asked him, standing in front of him now.
"For a few weeks before it happened." he said looking up at her, the flames flickered in her eyes. "I understand that you don't remember."
"I desire you, this I know. It is not only me feeling what you feel. My body remembers, even if my mind won't let me." She pushed him back on thebed, and straddled him, putting her hands on either side of his head.
"We shouldn't do this."
"I want to do this," she whispered moistening her lips, "so do you. I want our bodies to merge. I want to feel you inside my body, feeding this ache inside. Do you feel this thing between us?"
"Yes." he said and put his hands on her waist, almost of their own accord.
"We touch and our bodies recognize each other, it tingles as they greet each other, as long lost loves. Two pieces that are meant to merge as one."
She pulled her top off, and leaned over to brush his chest with the tips of her breasts. Moving her hand down, she pushed it into his pants and clasped his erection, making him gasp. She let go and stood up, taking her pants off quickly. She stood nude before him. "Take your clothes off Daniel." She ordered. Daniel took his shirt off and stood up to take his pants off. She walked around him and pressed her body against his back. "Yes, this is what I want. How much do you want me Daniel?" She asked walking back around him.
When she was in front of him, she leaned back into him and turned to face the bed.
She took his hands and moved them to her breasts, meanwhile pressing her bottom against him. He groaned into her throat, as he pinched her nipples gently, and flicked them. With each flick, she pressed harder into his erection. Finally, she bent over and got onto her hands and knees on the bed. He could see her pink opening enticing him. "Now Daniel!" Without any more urging, he covered her and pushed into her body, she let out a moan.
"Yes." she breathed and he started thrusting into her harder and harder. She started moving with him, tilting up, so he could fully enter her. They were both groaning with their pleasure. He found her clit with his thumb and started rubbing. They came together, Elira screaming her pleasure, clenching her muscles and milking his erection and he emptied into her.
Daniel awoke to find himself in bed with Elira, both nude. Her red eyes open, staring at him. She smiled at him. "That was amazing." he told her quietly.
"Yes," she agreed, " I want more." She disappeared under the covers, and he felt her take him in her mouth. He started hardening instantly. He pushed his hands into her hair to stroke her face. She was sucking and licking, occasionally licking down his shaft over his testicles.
"Oh god Elira!"
"Hmmmm," she moaned, and he felt the vibration, which just made him harder. She worked him mercilessly taking him to the edge and then backing off. Finally she brought him, and he felt himself empty into her mouth, she sucked one last time and came up to meet his mouth with hers. He kissed her passionately, taking her arms and pulling them over her head. He licked her breast, and started to suck, the nipple peaked, and she started to squirm.
He moved to the next breast trailing his hand down to her mound. Daniel started to rub her clit, and inserted two fingers inside of her. She bucked beneath him, but he kept stroking, moving his thumb in a circular pattern over her nub, his fingers entering and exiting her slowly. He felt her getting wet, her juice covering his fingers. He licked them as she watched, and moved down her body to kiss her soft center. He licked once and she jumped. Daniel held her hips to keep her still, and started to feast. She was making mewling sounds in the back of her throat, and clutching at his hands. He kept stroking with his tongue, thrusting into her with it, then licking. She came, clutching the sheets, he gave a few more licks, and moved up to lay beside her, wrapping her in his arms.Daniel was working in his office when the klaxons went off signally off world activation. He decided to see what was happening, and headed to the control room. "Who's coming to dinner?" he asked Jack as he entered.
"Tok'ra," Jack said the word like it was dirty.
"Well, maybe we'll get lucky and it'll be Jacob?"
"Right, that's lucky?" Jack asked, "We haven't exactly told him of our impending parenthood?"
"Oh, right, wow, that'll be a good time. Someone should probably warn Elira that we don't kill Tok'ra."
"Good call. I guess that wouldn't help Tau'ri/Tok'ra relations, huh?"
Daniel just looked at him and went to find her.
found her
"Let me get this right," she said playing with her candles, "I am not supposed to kill the Sly Ones who are invading this base?"
"No, these are good guys. Technically, they aren't invading us." he continued when she quirked her eyebrow at him in disbelief. "One of them is Sam's father. I don't know if he is one that is coming, but he's a good guy."
"I do not like letting Sly Ones in here willingly," she frowned, "but if you insist. I will however be on my guard."
Elira and Daniel walked to the briefing room, where they met up with Sam, and Teal'c just entering. Jack was already in the room with five Tok'ra. Jacob/Selmak was there, as was Freya/Anise, the other three were new
to the base. One was an older woman who introduced herself as Jenaya, it was the host speaking. The other two Tok'ra were youngish men, handsome, they were introduced as Sindan and Lexan, both were the symbiotes speaking.
"Good everyone is here." Jack said, "let's all sit down, shall we." As they were doing so, he turned to Jacob." Jacob, I would like you to meet the newest member of SG 1, Eli-Arias Volla."
Jacob looked at the beautiful young girl, he felt Selmak go very quiet, "It's a pleasure to meet you. Not trying to be rude or anything, but you aren't human are you?"
"Nay, I am of the Fenesians." she said, not telling them of her true parentage.
"Well, the Fenesians loss, is certainly the Tau'ri's gain." Sindan said smoothly.
"We need your help Jack." Jacob said.
"We always aim to help Jacob, what's going on?"
"One of our Tok'ra agents have been captured. She is only able to act as host currently, she is pregnant, and will be going into labor within the next few weeks."
"Is this a Harcissus type thing?" Daniel asked sitting up.
"No, her mate is a human waiting to become a host. She is very important to us. We were hoping you would be able to help get her back."
"Why do you need our help?"
Jacob looked down, when he looked back up Selmak spoke, "She is being held by some of the same men who recently captured some of your people. We don't know why she still lives, or why they haven't beaten her."
Elira hissed, and they all looked at her. "They know what she is, and know she carries Nish i'ka. They are vile, they will wait for her to deliver and then sacrifice the child. They feel they will gain her power that way."
"How is that?" Jack asked bewildered.
"They will ingest her and the child."
"Oh, now see, that's just disgusting."
"How do you know this?" Lexan asked abruptly.
"Because, that is what they were going to do to both Teal'c and me." She looked over at Jack, "Perhaps, I am not a mind reader, and they were very closed off, but those feelings were very easy to pick up. Why do you think they didn't rape us? You don't fuck your food."
"Perhaps you were with the Fenesians last, but you are not a Fenesian are you?" Jenaya asked.
"She is one of the Cor 'na' eli," Selmak intoned, startling the others.
"They are a myth!" Lexan said outraged.
"She bears the mark, and the power. Feel the air. This is how she knows. We honor you Eli-Arias Volla." Selmak bowed. "We have long thought you a story, the beings to save the stars."
"You are as stunning as the stories have labeled." Sindan said in awe.
"I do not know if I will be savior of the stars, as you suggest, but I will certainly help as much as possible." She said looking at the Tok'ra.
They told the Tok'ra of how they found Elira, Thor's intervention, and her short time with them. Sindan seemed charmed, Lexan annoyed, the other Tok'ra seemed to take it all in stride. Sam, Jack, and Jacob went off to speak in private, leaving the rest of the group alone. "Should we not be readying ourselves to go back to the planet for the rescue?" Elira asked Teal'c.
"Wait a minute, you aren't thinking of going back?" Daniel asked astounded.
"Yes, Daniel I am, not only were Teal'c and I there the longest, but I will be able to feel where the woman is. Also, those people," she practically spit out the word, "fear me now."
"Dr. Jackson, perhaps we can speak of several of my experiments while they are on this mission?" Anise said joining them.
"Well, Sammie won't be coming with us," Jacob said re-entering the room.
"Why is this?" Anise asked.
"Turns out she and Jack are presenting this old man with even more grandchildren." he put his arm around Sam, who was smiling happily.
"So," Jack said a little hurriedly, "that means that Elira, Teal'c, Jacob, Sindan, and Lexan, will be going to the planet to save the agent.
Daniel frowned at him, so Jack shrugged.
"I understand that you saved my daughter and my grandchildren." Jacob said to Elira, "Thank you."
Elira nodded at him slightly, "A memory I retain, and would gladly do again."
They were standing in the gate room, Daniel holding onto Elira's hand as she faced him. "Come back safely," he said softly, "we're just now getting you back."
"I will come back Daniel," she assured him squeezing his hand. "I anticipate needing your body much often."
"Don't let that Tok'ra talk you into taking off your clothes for shared warmth," he gestured towards Sindan, trying to lighten the mood.
"And you don't let that Tok'ra," shifting her eyes to Anise, "talk you into trying out some new artifact. Maybe the host isn't interested, but that symbiote certainly is."
"There is only one girl, alien or not, I'm interested in." he grinned down at her, wishing he could look into her purple eyes again.
"Ok, let's get a move on kids!"
Daniel watched them go through the gate with a heavy heart.
They got thru the gate and there was silence. "What could have caused this destruction?" Lexan asked looking at the burnt ground around them.
Teal'c looked proudly at Elira, "Eli'Arias Volla. She did this when clearing the way for us to escape."
"Amazing!" Sindan whispered. The group moved on not encountering any living creatures.
"The last we knew she was being kept in a cave about a mile from here."
" We were kept in the center of town," Teal'c revealed. Elira had gotten extremely quiet, enclosing herself in her armor, as they walked through the destruction, passing several dead bodies.
They continued on, listening for any sounds. When they got within 50 feet of the cave entrance, they saw the remainder of the hostile men. The men were all 6'5" or taller, all weighing over 300 lbs. Built like defensive linemen, all bigger than Teal'c even. There were about twenty of them. They had built a large fire and were dancing around it. Two of them were standing next to the bars which blocked off the cave entrance. They could hearing sobbing coming from inside the cage.
"They are going to kill her tonight." Teal'c said quietly.
"No," Elira responded, "they won't." She raised her hand, and as the others watched, blew a kiss towards the fire. They shielded their eyes as the bonfire exploded. There were screams as some of the figures were engulfed in flames. She drew her weapons and strode into the melee. The Tok'ra started firing into the berserker men, watching in awe, as the small woman began wielding her blades with precision. Teal'c ran in after her, shooting his zat. Elira was merciless as she slew the men that came at her, cutting through skin, flesh, and bone. Hearing the sickening gurgles, as some of the men drowned in their own blood. She looked around her, seeing all of the men dead or dying. She headed to the cage, meeting with Jacob at the door. The noise was almost unbearable.
"We need to find the key," Jacob yelled over the noise.
"Nay, I am the key." she said grabbing the doors of the cage and wrenching them open. They entered the cage, the others finishing the killing. Not only was the woman in there, but the two SG members thought killed previously, Travis and Williams, were also in the cage, trying to protect the woman. They backed down when they saw Elira. She picked up the woman and carried her out. The woman was dying, as was her child. The two SG men were being carried as well, close to death. The group made their way back to the gate.
At the gate, she stopped. "I must heal her before we go through the gate. If I do not, she will not make it to the other side." she said looking up at Jacob/Selmak for permission. He nodded his head, giving his permission. The other Tok'ra, the two SG members and Teal'c surrounded them, everyone silent. The woman was still crying. "Hush little one," Elira said gently, making the woman look at her," You and your babe will be fine. I am here to help you. Do not be frightened." She placed her hands on the woman, one on her chest
and one on her round belly. The blue glow began, covering both the woman, and Elira. Strangely, the glow built encompassing all in the circle. Many minutes passed before the glow finally subsided. Elira opened her eyes, and looked around her, everyone was healed, then she looked into the other woman's open eyes. She looked up at Elira in wonder. "You have a fine strong daughter, Cavina of the Tok'ra." Elira looked at Teal'c, her eyes once again lavender. "We must go through, I must get back to Daniel."
The klaxons had gone off twice, signaling off world activation. Both times it had been SG teams returning from missions. They were all on edge. Sam because her father was out there along with one of her best friends, and a girl who was becoming one of her best friends, the girl who had saved her children, and been implemental in helping her and Jack come together. Daniel was pacing constantly, thinking of the last time, she had gone to the world. Jack was just nervous over all.
The klaxons went off, and they all went racing to the control room. "Ok, there are no other teams off world, this has to be them!" Jack said starting to show his frustration.
"It's SG 1 sir!" the Sgt. said excitedly.
"Open the iris, "Jack yelled as they headed to the gate room, "Get a defense team and medical team down there now."
They came through the gate. First the Sindan and Lexan, then to their surprise, Travis and Williams. Teal'c and Jacob followed them. Daniel was starting to get worried, when Elira, and another young woman came through.
The gate closed. The people in the gate room started clapping and cheering.
"There isn't a scratch on you guys," Jack said incredulously.
"Thanks to Eli'Arias." Selmak said.
"You may call me Elira." she said not taking her eyes off of Daniel.
"You should have seen her," Sindan said looking at the girl, "Walking proudly and confident through the fire like a valkrye."
"She healed all of us sir," Travis said tears running down his face. "We were practically dead, I figured we would get back here to die on American soil. I was thankful for that. But what she did..."
Elira drew her eyes away from Daniel to look at the young man who was staring at her with tears streaming down his face, and smiled at him. "You are home now. I am sorry it took so long to come for you."
"We weren't expecting a rescue ma'am, by all rights we knew we were dead." Williams, who was standing next to Travis, told her.
"Lt. Travis, Major Williams, you are strong men to have lasted in those conditions. I am honored to have brought such warriors back." She bowed her head to them, still wearing her armor, except for her helm. She walked to Jack, and bowed slightly to him. " A successful mission General."
"Good job, soldier." he said smiling down at her, then stepped over to where Sam and Jacob were.
Elira turned towards Daniel, and walked over to him.
"Your eyes," he said softly, "They're back, what does that mean?"
"It means that I remember everything, my love. Both before and after." she touched her hands to his face. " I came back safely."
"I was so scared for you." Daniel whispered into her ear as they were dancing.
"I can't promise that I will always be safe Daniel, but I can promise to do my best." Elira she said looking up at him. "I am a warrior. I can not turn my back and walk away when I am needed."
"I know, just like I won't stop worrying. Luckily we are both on SG 1, so most of the time we'll be together." Just then a shrill whistle came from the main table.
"Hey, everyone come over here." Jack motioned for everyone to join them.
He was standing at the head of the table, a beer in his hand. "I just figured that with tonight having such a happy ending for so many reasons, I should make a toast. To a group of people who worked hard to bring about a happy ending for the families of some of our people, and some of their people." he said motioning to the Tok'ra. Jack dropped something on the floor, "Oops, I'd better get that."
Sam motioned to Jack, "Let me get that for you." He shooed her away.
On his knees, he looked up her, "I might be an old soldier, but I know how to do things right."
He pulled a small box off of the floor where he had planted it a few minutes before. "You were my second in command for so very long." he opened the box.
"Oh Jack." Sam whispered, tears coming into her eyes as she looked at the stunning ring.
"I want you as my equal partner Sam, nothing less. For the rest of our lives. Will you marry me?"
"I would be honored to marry you General O'Neill." She answered and pulled him in for a long kiss, much to the enjoyment of all.
"How about that," Jacob was all smiles, "I didn't even have to get my gun out!" Everyone laughed.
The people dispersed, as Sam and Jack went to dance.
"What happiness!" Elira sparkled. Davin/Sindan walked up to them.
He looked to Daniel, "Could I have your permission to dance with your lady?" Daniel nodded, and watched as they walked to the dance floor. Daniel looked to see Teal'c joining him.
"There is much to celebrate this evening Daniel Jackson."
"Yes there sure is. And it's only taken seven years to get there. His knees would have probably been better off, if he had proposed back then." At this, Teal'c started laughing, and Daniel joined in.
"Are you working tomorrow?" Elira asked sleepily.
"Yeah, just on base. I have some translations that I have to complete." he said, and gasped as she bit his leg gently.
Daniel pulled her up into the crook of his arm, and slipped his hand in the shirt to caress her bare breast.
Now it was her turn to gasp, "Daniel what about the Hockey game?"
"I'm sure Jack's taping it." he murmured and caught her mouth with his. He rolled slightly until he was on top of her. While he undid the buttons of the shirt, she lowered his pants, and was pleased to see his boxer briefs go with them.
Daniel removed her panties quickly, excited to find her already hot , wet, and ready for him. She matched him thrust for thrust, their moans growing with their pleasure. They came together in one powerful surge.
Afterward he lay on top of her, trying to slow his ragged breath.
"Do you know how long it's been since I've done it on a couch?" he grinned at her.
"I had never done it on a couch." she grinned back.
He groaned as the phone rang. Daniel pushed himself up and off of her soft body. He pulled up his pants and went to answer the phone. Elira sat for a moment listening to his quiet voice. It sounded like he was talking to Jack. Sighing, she got up and went to take a shower.
---------------------------
Elira was in the steaming shower, letting the hot water sluice down her naked flesh, washing the soap away. Suddenly, she was no longer there. She looked up to find herself in her old dwelling on Fenesia. Confused she looked around.
"I was waiting for you." a voice said from behind her.
She turned to find a handsome man walking towards her from the back of the room. He was tall and muscular. Short dark hair, slightly curling on top. He had dark green eyes, and between them, a starburst marking in the faintest green coloring.
"Who are you? Why do you call me here?" she asked angrily.
"I am El'Arco. The last male of the Cor'na'el. I am to be your life tie." he said bowing slightly to her.
"Nay, I do not know you. My people all died."
"This is not true. I was not on the planet when our people were destroyed. I did not know of your existence until recently. When I came here, I sensed your essence. We are the last of our people, we are meant to be together Eli'Arias." He strode to her, pulling her to him roughly. He kissed her and she found herself kissing him back. His lean, hard body was pressing into hers, and she found that it excited her. While still kissing her, he ran his hand down her body, and rubbed her center with his thumb. Elira moaned in pleasure. "Yes," he whispered, "You will spread your legs for me." he pressed his erection against her.
Elira drug herself away from him. "Nay! I have chosen my path, and it doesn't lie with you!" Elira called on her power, forcing herself back into her consciousness.
She was huddled into the corner of the shower stall, the water raining down upon her. Daniel was screaming her name. He pulled her out, covering her with a large towel. She sobbed and clung to him. He carried her out to the bedroom, and sat on the edge of the bed with her in his lap.
"Daniel, I have betrayed you!" She cried.
"What the hell just happened?" he asked anxiously.
"A man, he said he was of my race. He pulled me back to Fenesia. He kissed me Daniel, and I enjoyed it."
Daniel looked as if he had been slapped , "Who is this guy?"
"I don't know. He said he is the last male of my race. And he said we were meant to be together. He kissed me, and I wanted more." Elira stood up. "I have to go to the base infirmary, immediately."
"Elira, you can't just say you enjoyed it and not talk to me about it." Daniel said getting angry.
"I'm sorry Daniel." Elira steeled herself. "I do not understand what has happened, but it did happen."
Daniel looked down at his hands. "I guess I'd better get you to the base then." he strode out of the room without looking back.
--------------------------------------------------
Elira sat on the infirmary bed, explaining what had happened to her. Daniel, Sam, and the doctor were listening. "God help me, I wanted him. I would have done almost anything to have him." she finished.
Daniel got up and left the room without looking back.
The doctor decided to run some tests, and left Elira waiting.
"Are you ok?" Sam's voice was quiet.
"Nay. I am scared, and angry. What if he can pull me there whenever he wishes? I have blocked off all of my powers, and I feel blind without them. I do not trust that man, El'Arco. There is something not right about him. I feel dirty for what happened. I feel that I have lost Daniel Jackson, and I love him beyond everything that I am." tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Do you want me to try to talk to Daniel?" Sam asked hesitantly.
"Nay. I thank you for the offer though. You are a true friend to me Samantha."
Sam excused herself when the doctor returned.
"Well, I don't know how he pulled you there, or how he introduced the drug into your system, but you're suffering from nishta. Nishta is a drug, mainly used by Goa'ulds. They use it to seduce humans to their will. We mostly saw it used with Seth or Hathor, both of whom are dead. I just can't figure out how he got it into you without it being physical. The reason you were attracted the way you were, is that nishta is a pheromone, and what he used on you is a hybrid type."
"Can you make it stop?"
"We can. And once we give you the vaccine, it can't affect you again."
"Thank you Doctor."
"There's something else Elira. Your tests come back saying you're about three weeks pregnant. I guess Congratulations are in order."
Elira put her hand on her belly. "A baby?"
"That's right." the doctor smiled at her.
"Doctor, please don't tell anyone of this. I need to let it sink in first."
"I won't tell a soul, just remember, no more missions."
"No more missions. Will I still be able to go through the gate?"
"With normal humans I wouldn't advise it, but with your physiology, I think there will be a great many things you'll be able to do." he patted her on her shoulder and left the room.
Elira went to her quarters to consider her options.
--------------------------------------------
The next morning Elira woke early. The first thing she did was go to see General O'Neill. Once she was done talking to him, she headed for Daniel's laboratory. She knocked on the door, and entered when she heard him call out.
"Daniel, do you have a moment?"
"Actually, I'm sort of busy right now." he said not looking up.
"Please Daniel."
"Fine. What do you want to talk about?" he said finally looking up with a slight frown. He just didn't know how to talk to her about this. All that kept going through his mind was that she had been intimate with a stranger, it made him think of Sha're and Apophis.
"I'm sorry I hurt you Daniel."
"Look Elira, it's just going to take me time to get past it. I know you didn't ask to be called, but I don't know if I can handle it. I'm certainly not willing to share you with him, if that was an idea you were entertaining." he said a bit sarcastically.
Elira looked at him with wounded eyes. "I'm leaving Daniel."
"Where are you going?"
"To find him. I need to find out what's going on. If he's really who he says he is. How he did what he did." Elira turned away from him, "I just wanted to settle things between us first."
"Well, I guess if you made your choice already, things are already settled. Have a nice life Elira." he said bitterly.
"You too Daniel. You will hear from me again." at the door she spoke once more, "I love you Daniel Jackson."
It had been three days, Elira stood on the ramp facing the three friends who had come to see her off.
"I wish you well my friends." she smiled slightly. "Take care of yourselves."
"I wish you would stay." Sam said hugging her again.
"Do not fear Samantha, you will hear from me again. This is not goodbye for all time. Take care of your children, and your love. Will you do me a favor?" she asked.
"Anything."
"Make sure Daniel knows I love him above all else. I could not bear the look in his eyes when he gazed upon me. He deserves so much more." with those last words, she turned and walked through the gate, and out of their sight.
---------------------------------------------------
"How could you?" Sam said to Daniel from his office door.
He sat alone, with his head in his hands. "How could I what Sam?"
"How could you hold nishta against her? After everything with Hathor?"
"What are you talking about?" he asked completely lost.
"Didn't she tell you?" Sam asked coming farther into the room, "That whole episode with that guy, somehow he influenced her with nishta."
"She didn't tell me. Why didn't she tell me?" he whispered, shocked.
"I don't know. I know she felt dirty, and ashamed of herself."
"Col. Carter?" Dr Evans said from the door way. "Sorry to interrupt."
"That's ok, what can I help you with?" Sam said turning to look at the man.
"I had to tell you, I'm not able to fill your prenatal vitamin prescription here. Dr. Warner gave our supply to Elira before she left. Sorry about that." the doctor turned and left.
Daniel and Sam stared at each other. "Daniel, something is very wrong? She didn't trust that guy, why would she go look for him? And why would she need a supply of prenatal vitamins?"
