Title: Rebuilding

Disclaimer: I still don't own Buffy or Stargate. All characters will be returned the their proper owners when I finish playing with them.

"Wakey, wakey."

Daniel woke up with a killer headache and a familiar voice nearby. Damn, he had been zatted again, he thought as he raised his hand to his head. There was a nasty lump on the back of his head too. He was really beginning to wonder if the universe had it in for him. He didn't want to open his eyes. If he opened them he couldn't pretend that he could hear Jack.

"Come on Daniel, we don't have time for this. They'll be here any minute."

Daniel opened his eyes to see JT standing over him. "They?"

"Security, Carter, Teal'c."

"Oh." He closed his eyes again. "Why?"

"The prisoners have broken free."

"What prisoners?"

"Buffy, Xander and myself. Seems that paranoia is on the rise these days. Somebody staged a lovely welcome home party. Since you got zatted too I'm guessing that you didn't know about it."

"No, I didn't." Daniel sat up and immediately wished he hadn't. He turned to see Buffy standing by a makeshift barricade at the door. He continued to look around the room, taking in the two SF's strapped into the gurneys on his left. He saw Xander standing on chair placing a cover over the room's security camera.

"That should take care of any surveillance unless there are some hidden cameras."

"Not that I recall but its been a while," JT answered. "Well, I guess it's time to place a call to the General."

---------

General Hammond was not a happy camper when he got the call from Lt. Zale. He told Carter and Teal'c to join the security teams converging on the infirmary.

"Dr. Warner, do you have any idea what you have done? Miss Summers is on the loose and has already assaulted a number of the SGC personnel including serveral SFs."

"I'm sorry General but it was simply too risky to keep her sedated."

"You were briefed about her capabilities. The very least you could have done was called for extra security."

"With the amount of sedatives in her system she should still be unconscious."

"Well she's not and you've got a new group of patients, eight as of the last count. Now go take care of them."

Hammond sighed as Warner scurried out. He knew that the doctor wasn't at fault but at times like this he missed the competence of Dr. Frasier. Well, at least Warner was on his last tour. Maybe his replacement would be better. Hammond was heading back to his office when the telephone rang again.

"Hammond here."

-----------

By the time that Carter and Teal'c reached the infirmary two security teams were already in place.

"Major Carter, they've barricaded one of the wards and they have three hostages including Dr. Jackson."

"Have they tried to negotiate?"

"No ma'am. They've ignored our attempts at communication."

"Let me try."

"JT? Miss Summers?"

"JT's busy talking to the general. Is that Carter?"

"Yes. Are the hostages alright?"

"I wouldn't call them hostages but they are fine. The SF's are still sleeping but you can talk to Dr. Jackson."

"Daniel?"

"I'm fine. Bit of headache though."

"The guards?"

"They're unconscious but breathing."

"Miss Summers, if they are not hostages why don't you send them out and we'll talk."

"Don't think so Major. We need to see some good faith on your side. That ambush, which by the way I hope that you didn't know about it, was way out of line."

"The General thought that you might be a danger to the SGC. He was given a video tape where your eyes glowed."

Behind the barricade JT caught that last bit and turned to Buffy. She looked puzzled too.

"I don't remember my eyes ever glowing," she told him quietly. Using a louder voice she asked, "what else was in the video?"

"You were fighting what looked like Frankenstein's monster."

"You'll need to be a little more specific."

Xander snorted in amusement.

"The Initiative."

"That monster was called Adam and the glowing eyes were probably the byproduct of a spell we used to defeat him. I couldn't take out Adam without help. Willow, Xander and Giles cast a spell to merge themselves with me and the essence of the first slayer. I am so not a Goa'uld."

"Goa'uld?"

"Later Xander."

"Teal'c and I are aware of that but the General wasn't sure until Dr. Warner confirmed it. Now why don't you open the door and let us in."

"You mean let our 'guests' go. Sorry, not just yet. Trust issues."

------------

"General, I know you have no reason to believe that I am Jack's clone yet but did you have to shoot us?"

JT listened with an ill-concealed impatience.

"Sir, we left our weapons at security and were searched. Twice."

He stopped even trying to conceal his impatience.

"Sir, you don't realize how bad this could become. It would best for all concerned if you just let us leave the base right now." He paused briefly before continuing. "Let's just say we are on a fairly tight schedule. We'll send out the SF's but Daniel stays for now. I need to get Buffy and Xander out of the mountain before the cavalry shows up. Once we are clear, we'll let Daniel go."

Xander looked at Daniel. "Guess it's official. You're the designated hostage."

"Why doesn't that surprise me?"

"Sir, Xander put a call in to an old friend of his before we arrived. That friend will call in the big guns if we are not out of here soon... Well, then maybe Davis better ask his contact about Willow, if you were worried about Buffy you're just gonna love dealing with her."

"JT..."

He turned towards Buffy. Her face was dead white. She was looking at the floor, his eyes followed hers to a pool of blood on the floor.

"Something's wrong."
