We all were waiting for Daniel to come in and just as he did the 7th
chevron encoded.
"We might be faced with heavy artillery Wright. You ready?" O'Neill asked.
"Ready enough to shock you sir," I said then as we reached the Stargate and were about to walk through O'Neill noticed something attached to my back.
"Is that a sward?" O'Neill asked and I chuckled walking through after Carter.
When I came out on the other side O'Neill was right behind me.
"Lieutenant," O'Neill said.
"Yes it is," I said. "Comes in handy sometimes."
Then a Zat shot flew past us and we dove behind rocks.
"Well now's your time to impress us Wright," O'Neill said making me roll my eyes as I took the gun and started shooting.
After awhile a few snuck up behind us and one grabbed my arm hoping to take me as a prisoner. I couldn't help it as my slayer reflexes kicked in as I punched the Jaffa who was serving the Goa'uld.
"Okay buddy," I said punching him and making him fly back and then I kicked him before he could grab his weapon. "Kinda mean to be grabbing little ladies. Got something to say?"
"Tutari!" He yelled and I stepped back from him before kicking him. "You are the Tutari!"
"Okay bozo," I said knocking him out. "Jeeze."
Then a few others came up after hearing the Jaffa's alleged claim.
"Okay," I said looking around. "Who wants to party next?"
Then one stepped foreword and I drop kicked him before tripping another.
"Wright, get down!" O'Neill yelled after I took a hit to the jaw.
A few guns went off and then the fight was over. The other members of SG-1 came over and Carter helped me up.
"You okay?" She asked looking at my jaw.
I spit out blood then smirked, "Dandy."
"Well then Lieutenant, explain to us how you took out 3 Jaffa who were bigger than you without a weapon," O'Neill said.
"Tutari?" Teal'c asked me curiously.
"In the flesh. Don't tell though," I said to him and he understood.
Tutari was the Goauld/Jaffa term for Slayer apparently. I was researching with the gang while back when I found that out.
"What the hell is Tutari?!" O'Neill roared.
Oh goodie.
"I cannot disclose such information O'Neill," Teal'c said. "It is vital that it is kept a secret."
"Well that's great. What the hell are we supposed to put in our report?" O'Neill asked.
"We all just took them out in the fight," Daniel said then looked at me. "Then later we'll go out to eat somewhere and Buffy will explain to us how she did that."
My expression changed from gloomy to surprised and possibly frightened. My breath got caught in my through as it finally hit me where I saw him before.
"Buffy? Who the hell is-" O'Neill asked then he saw my face as I backed up from Daniel.
"How?" I almost whispered.
"I ascended and you were there, by a stream in a field. You were near a forest and you were wearing a dress," Daniel said and I blinked back my tears.
No one knew about that. I mean No one! That was- no he couldn't have. Holy maker of macaroni and cheese, I'm gonna freak out.
"No you're wrong," I said trying to convince myself more than him. "You weren't there. You couldn't have been."
"Yes I was," Daniel said. "You told me everything. Everyone was there too. You were there with me in hea-"
"Don't," I said cutting him off. "Don't say that word."
"Daniel what the hell is going on and how are you emotionally breaking our newest member?!" O'Neill said looking back and forth at us.
"She was there Jack," Daniel said. "When I ascended and was in heaven she was there. I'm just wondering if she was there then how is she here now." He turned to me. "Who did it? PTB, Demons?"
"Demons?" Carter asked but his gaze was on me as I shook my head.
"Who did it Buffy?" Daniel asked.
"Look," O'Neill said stepping between us two breaking our eye-lockage. "We need to know what the hell to put in our report. Daniel you are to shut up and not say anything until Wright or whoever this chick may be is stable enough to go back to base. After the Debriefing we'll go out to eat and talk. Does everyone understand?"
"Yes sir," Carter said and Teal'c Nodded.
I swallowed, "Yes Sir."
Daniel nodded and I refused to look at him.
"Sam, go with the Lieutenant for a walk and help her relax. You have 30 minutes," O'Neill said and I just faintly registered as Sam led me away from the group about 100 meters before we sat on a hill.
"If you are who Daniel says, why'd you lie on your papers?" Carter asked.
"You wouldn't understand the hell I've been though in the past 7 years," I said as my tears finally faded. "I'll tell you all tonight. And if I get kicked out of the SGC I'll find some way to manage."
"Why-" Carter started, but a familiar badly dressed man stepped in front of us.
Carter lifted her gun but I pushed it down and stood.
"Whistler," I growled.
He smirked, "Slayer."
I punched him square in the chin sending him tumbling down the hill over to the men in SG-1 who tensed and pointed their guns. But Carter ran after me over to them also.
"What the hell was that for kid?" Whistler asked standing again.
"Angel," I said then smirked before punching him again sending him to the ground. "And that was for Kendra."
"You gonna punch me for everyone you've lost cos if you are kid then tell me so I know to stay down here cos you have lost a lot of people," Whistler said and I picked him up.
"Ya think," I said.
Daniel looked at Whistler, his time from being Ascended coming back, "Whistler."
"Hey Danny-Boy. Have a nice time with Summers here while she was dead?" Whistler asked and before he knew it he was on the ground from two different punches.
"Damn," O'Neill said. "Nice punch Danny."
"Why are you here Whistler?" Daniel asked and I could feel and hear the Venom seeping out of his voice.
"To deliver a message from the Powers that Be," Whistler said.
"I believe I speak for the both of us when I say you can tell them to shove it," Daniel said getting surprised looks from the SG-1 members
"Not this time Danny," Whistler said. "One of your snake boys is going to attack the earth and this is where the beloved Scooby gang comes in."
"How so?" I asked getting looks from all except Daniel who knew about the gang from when I talked to him in heaven.
"Come now Kid," Whistler said with a chuckle. "You think you could have run from your past, all the pain and hurting from when they brought you back from heaven and left you to crawl from your coffin. No you can't. It's your destiny and you have to fight. Red is gonna play a major part."
I put my foot on his chest and Daniel looked at Whistler warily.
"Willow going to do?" Daniel asked.
"It's not going to be easy to find out but you gotta look," Whistler said and I stepped back from Whistler a second before picking him up by his throat. "Slayer."
"What's Willow going to have to do?" I asked him.
"She's going to have to do what she's been dreading," Whistler choked out. "And you're going to get some help along the way.
"What?" Carter asked.
"I'm still listening," I said to Whistler.
"Danny knows what you've been through as I'm sure you're beginning to remember what he shared with you also," Whistler said. "You've been breaking apart from the Watcher and your friends long before you died the second time Blondie. Danny's the one who realized it when he was one of us."
"What are you saying Whistler?" Daniel asked as I released the messenger.
"Don't you get it? You and Blondie gotta dig into her past and find out what went wrong and fix it. Cos if not you'll be stuck with a scared Slayer and witch, and an Apocalypse to fight," Whistler said then as he was walking away he turned and looked at Daniel and I. "By the way, just a few words for you two. You may be afraid of going back Blondie, but Courage is not defined by those who fought and did not fall, but by those who fought, fell, and rose again."
Then Whistler disappeared leaving us in silence.
"Jack we have to go," Daniel said and I could hear the urgency in his voice.
"What just happened here?" O'Neill asked almost panicking in distress.
"I believe it's what you would call a Message from Above, O'Neill," Teal'c said and that drew a chuckle from Daniel as he laid a hand on my shoulder tearing me out of my daze.
"We'll skip the briefing possibly and go straight to somewhere where we can talk," Daniel said.
"I think the Colonel's about to freak," I murmured.
Daniel gave me a soft smile and he whispered, "The light's always on, it may be blocked, you just have to find it."
Daniel walked away then over to Jack.
"We'll meet up at-" Daniel started.
"My place," I said. "It's not bugged so it would be simpler to talk there."
"Well then let's hurry because I want to here why a witch is going to do something she dreads and why the hell you had to claw out of a coffin," O'Neill said as Teal'c dialed the address to get back home.
"What's going on inside your head?" Carter asked me as the boys stood in front of us.
"How badly I screwed up," I said and she looked at me. "I worked hard to get this position and live. I was ready to fight this war rather then the other one I was fighting. Everything was going good until Daniel and I remembered that we met another time and Whistler came."
"And you have to go back to your past," Carter said and I nodded. "Was it really that bad?"
"You saw how I fought those Jaffa warriors?" I asked and she nodded. "If you lived my life you had to know how to fight like that if you wanted to survive, but I'm not one to talk."
We walked up by the boys as we got ready to walk though.
"Of course you're not," Daniel smirked guessing what I was talking about.
"Why not?" O'Neill said hearing the last bit of our conversation.
"Because I died twice," I smirked.
"You say that so simply now," Daniel smirked.
"I've improved," I smirked and we laughed at the others expressions before we walked though the Stargate.
When we came out in the SGC room that held the American Stargate, Daniel and I were still laughing. Then the other 3 came out.
"What the hell?" O'Neill asked while Carter just looked at me.
"Teal'c seems to be fine with it," I said. "Later tonight."
"Later tonight, what Lieutenant?" Hammond asked walking in.
"We're going out to eat tonight," O'Neill said shocking me by how he was covering for me. "The kid killed her first Jaffa."
"Looks like a nasty bruise there Lieutenant. Go get that checked out in the infirmary," Hammond said and I frowned.
"Doesn't hurt though," I murmured.
"Not another Colonel," Carter muttered. "Come on. You're getting checked out."
Carter practically dragged me, but the whole way I voice my opinions.
"Come on Carter! Nothing's broken!" I whined getting smirks from O'Neill and Hammond, Daniel just Chuckled and helped Carter pull me. "I'll heal. No way in hell I'm going in there willingly."
Then we entered the infirmary and Janet saw them dragging me.
"Oh dear. Another Jack O'Neill," She said and then the two let go off me.
I gave a pout, "I'm fine. Bye."
"Nope," The two said each grabbing one of my arms and pulling me to a bed.
"Looks like it hurt," Janet said looking at my bruised jaw.
"Just give me two Excedrin, an ice pack, and I'll be outta your way," I said then at her look from dismissing the injury she thought was a little more serious than that. "I've had worse Doc."
"And you have worse now," Janet said. "I saw you limping as you came in like you hurt your back."
"Damn," I muttered taking off the outer shirt I had on to reveal a tank- top. "I blame you two for dragging me here."
"Come on," Daniel said with a sly grin. "You can't hate me after all that was said."
"Sure can Poofus," I said getting amused looks from Carter and Janet.
"Poofus?" Carter asked as Daniel glared at me.
"Payback will come, shorty," Daniel said and I gave him a dirty look.
"I would so have a comeback if the doc wasn't making my back hurt worse right now," I bit out getting a smirk from Janet.
I jumped off the table expertly away from Janet and I put my shirt back on.
"I'll heal just fine alright," I said.
"You just jumped off the table with a cracked rib," Janet said crossing her arms.
I looked at her then felt my back, "Really?"
"Yeah," Janet said.
I shrugged, "Better than getting thrown off a 100 foot tall tower."
"You jumped," Daniel corrected.
"Don't get into technicalities here Poofus," I said. "I had a good reason."
"Some chick was threatening your title as most intimidating woman?" Daniel smirked.
"Don't make me tell Giles on you," I said crossing my arms over my chest. "He would go Ripper on you in 1.3 seconds.....or he would just roll his eyes and cluck his tongue like the British guy he is but that's besides the point."
"I would enjoy that encounter actually," Daniel said. "From what I watched when I ascended he'd be an interesting person to talk to."
"Alright," Janet said. "Lieutenant, sit down and I'll put a brace on you so you can leave as long as you come back soon for another check-up. Sam, Daniel, keep and eye on her for the next 24 hours."
"Just wrap my waist tightly," I said and she looked at me. "Just trust me."
Janet rolled her eyes and then 20 minutes later us 5 members of SG-1 were headed towards my house in my Jeep.
"How are you moving so well if you have a cracked rib?" Carter asked.
"Danny," I whined as I drove.
"You know it better than I do Summers," Daniel said and I sighed.
"Alright. Into every generation, a slayer is born," I started.
"That's what this whistler guy called you," O'Neill said.
"Just be quiet for a bit Jack," Daniel said.
"As I was saying, into every generation, a slayer is born. One Girl in all the world, a chosen one. One born with the strength and skill to fight the vampires, to stop the spread of their evil and the spread of their numbers," I said. "Thing is, yes, vampires, the slayer, demons they all exist in this world. When the sun sets they lurk, and sometimes during the day also."
"Say I believe this," O'Neill said. "Where do you fit in?"
"Jack, Meet Buffy Anne Summers," Daniel introduced, "The longest living slayer in 387 years."
"That long. Damn," I said. "You see most slayers don't even live to see 19."
"Why? What's the purpose of it all?" Carter asked.
"To ruin some girl's life and use her as a tool to fight evil," I said.
"Come on Buffy," Daniel said.
"Come on Daniel," I said looking at him for a minute in the rear-view mirror. "Tell me one good thing that has come from me being the slayer."
"Dawn," Daniel said.
"Who I ended up dying for," I said and the three other members of SG-1 just watched our exchange engrossed in the way I was telling the past.
"Fine then. Anya," Daniel said.
"An ex vengeance demon who's afraid of bunnies. Xan left her at the alter ruining that," I said.
"But she did lighten things up again," Daniel said.
"Yeah especially when Sweet rolled into town," I chuckled then at Daniel's look. "Okay so I came back from the dead the second time and I went along with the gang thinking I was in hell. Then Sweet rolls into town and starts making everyone sing what they feel in their hearts. Anya did a whole thing on how Bunnies could be causing it and then later we're told she had an interesting piece with Xander."
"I can imagine how that went. Well then what about Giles? Good times there Buff," Daniel said.
"And those great times land him in England currently. Try again Poofus," I said earning me a glare.
"What's with the Poofus?" Teal'c asked.
"His hair's poofy sometimes," I said.
"Angel," Daniel said looking at me but I refused to meet his look. "You have to admit that was good while it was happening."
"When he turned evil and terrorized my friends, or when he left town?" I asked pulling into my driveway.
"I was gonna go with the night before that all," Daniel smirked with a grin that made me turn around after turning the car off and hitting him in the head with a light smack. "Oh come on."
"You're mean," I just said getting out.
O'Neill was laughing at how I smacked his friend. When we all were in my house we sat in the living room in silence.
"Where should we start?" I asked.
"The beginning," Carter said.
"Can we just skip that and go to present matter?" I asked.
"Might be best to explain it all Buffy," Daniel said.
"Too much to talk about Daniel," I said. "Plus a few things that I really don't want to have to explain."
"Such as?" O'Neill asked.
"When I was 17 I had to send my boyfriend to hell for one," I said putting my feet on my coffee table, then at their looks. "Yeah he went evil because of me."
"It wasn't because of you," Daniel said. "You both had no idea and he had that soul in him for over 100 years."
That got looks.
"He was a vampire with a soul," Daniel said.
"But I thought you killed vampires," Teal'c said.
"I do," I said. "Angel was an acceptation to everything when it came to my job."
"We never saw it coming," Daniel smirked and I just looked at him. "PTB were kinda impressed that you made it work as well as you did."
"That says something," I said rolling my eyes and bringing my knees onto my chair so I was curling up. "So let's just stick with the present sense."
"Why'd you leave?" O'Neill asked.
I thought a bit before answering, "I can't really think of why. It's just a thought that kept coming back to me during a long period of time. Things weren't always going perfect around us and I get that, but for a long while we've been growin' apart. When I left it was getting pretty bad, My friend Willow was starting to have an addiction to magic and we didn't even notice, Xander left his to-be wife at the alter because he was afraid of becoming his parents, Giles who was like my dad left to England, and my lil' sis was shoplifting. Add demon problems on top of that and it's getting to be a lot. Plus chips-ahoy was getting on my nerves."
Daniel Snorted, "Spike?"
I nodded.
"Chips ahoy??" Carter asked dazed at the existence of magic and evil.
"An Army thing called the Initiative put a chip in Spike's head –he's a vamp- so he couldn't bite humans," I said and they nodded.
"What was the witch that this Whistler guy was talking about?" O'Neill asked.
"My best friend. Her parents weren't really around because they were touring for some crappy psychiatrist bull and they said she could raise herself after her mom tried to burn us at the stake, but she's a witch," I said.
"Damn," O'Neill muttered getting a smile from Carter and me.
"Okay so Whistler said. Willow is going to play a vital part in some battle with the Goa'uld," Daniel said.
"But we have a problem here," I said. "I completely faked my identity. Hammond finds out, or anyone else for that matter, I'm out and you all are left fighting."
"That cannot happen," Teal'c said and we looked at him. "You have my word that I will not tell anyone."
"Same," Carter said.
O'Neill sighed, "Sure why not. Just tell me if we don't succeed in this fight what's gonna happen?"
"Hell On Earth," Daniel answered.
"We might be faced with heavy artillery Wright. You ready?" O'Neill asked.
"Ready enough to shock you sir," I said then as we reached the Stargate and were about to walk through O'Neill noticed something attached to my back.
"Is that a sward?" O'Neill asked and I chuckled walking through after Carter.
When I came out on the other side O'Neill was right behind me.
"Lieutenant," O'Neill said.
"Yes it is," I said. "Comes in handy sometimes."
Then a Zat shot flew past us and we dove behind rocks.
"Well now's your time to impress us Wright," O'Neill said making me roll my eyes as I took the gun and started shooting.
After awhile a few snuck up behind us and one grabbed my arm hoping to take me as a prisoner. I couldn't help it as my slayer reflexes kicked in as I punched the Jaffa who was serving the Goa'uld.
"Okay buddy," I said punching him and making him fly back and then I kicked him before he could grab his weapon. "Kinda mean to be grabbing little ladies. Got something to say?"
"Tutari!" He yelled and I stepped back from him before kicking him. "You are the Tutari!"
"Okay bozo," I said knocking him out. "Jeeze."
Then a few others came up after hearing the Jaffa's alleged claim.
"Okay," I said looking around. "Who wants to party next?"
Then one stepped foreword and I drop kicked him before tripping another.
"Wright, get down!" O'Neill yelled after I took a hit to the jaw.
A few guns went off and then the fight was over. The other members of SG-1 came over and Carter helped me up.
"You okay?" She asked looking at my jaw.
I spit out blood then smirked, "Dandy."
"Well then Lieutenant, explain to us how you took out 3 Jaffa who were bigger than you without a weapon," O'Neill said.
"Tutari?" Teal'c asked me curiously.
"In the flesh. Don't tell though," I said to him and he understood.
Tutari was the Goauld/Jaffa term for Slayer apparently. I was researching with the gang while back when I found that out.
"What the hell is Tutari?!" O'Neill roared.
Oh goodie.
"I cannot disclose such information O'Neill," Teal'c said. "It is vital that it is kept a secret."
"Well that's great. What the hell are we supposed to put in our report?" O'Neill asked.
"We all just took them out in the fight," Daniel said then looked at me. "Then later we'll go out to eat somewhere and Buffy will explain to us how she did that."
My expression changed from gloomy to surprised and possibly frightened. My breath got caught in my through as it finally hit me where I saw him before.
"Buffy? Who the hell is-" O'Neill asked then he saw my face as I backed up from Daniel.
"How?" I almost whispered.
"I ascended and you were there, by a stream in a field. You were near a forest and you were wearing a dress," Daniel said and I blinked back my tears.
No one knew about that. I mean No one! That was- no he couldn't have. Holy maker of macaroni and cheese, I'm gonna freak out.
"No you're wrong," I said trying to convince myself more than him. "You weren't there. You couldn't have been."
"Yes I was," Daniel said. "You told me everything. Everyone was there too. You were there with me in hea-"
"Don't," I said cutting him off. "Don't say that word."
"Daniel what the hell is going on and how are you emotionally breaking our newest member?!" O'Neill said looking back and forth at us.
"She was there Jack," Daniel said. "When I ascended and was in heaven she was there. I'm just wondering if she was there then how is she here now." He turned to me. "Who did it? PTB, Demons?"
"Demons?" Carter asked but his gaze was on me as I shook my head.
"Who did it Buffy?" Daniel asked.
"Look," O'Neill said stepping between us two breaking our eye-lockage. "We need to know what the hell to put in our report. Daniel you are to shut up and not say anything until Wright or whoever this chick may be is stable enough to go back to base. After the Debriefing we'll go out to eat and talk. Does everyone understand?"
"Yes sir," Carter said and Teal'c Nodded.
I swallowed, "Yes Sir."
Daniel nodded and I refused to look at him.
"Sam, go with the Lieutenant for a walk and help her relax. You have 30 minutes," O'Neill said and I just faintly registered as Sam led me away from the group about 100 meters before we sat on a hill.
"If you are who Daniel says, why'd you lie on your papers?" Carter asked.
"You wouldn't understand the hell I've been though in the past 7 years," I said as my tears finally faded. "I'll tell you all tonight. And if I get kicked out of the SGC I'll find some way to manage."
"Why-" Carter started, but a familiar badly dressed man stepped in front of us.
Carter lifted her gun but I pushed it down and stood.
"Whistler," I growled.
He smirked, "Slayer."
I punched him square in the chin sending him tumbling down the hill over to the men in SG-1 who tensed and pointed their guns. But Carter ran after me over to them also.
"What the hell was that for kid?" Whistler asked standing again.
"Angel," I said then smirked before punching him again sending him to the ground. "And that was for Kendra."
"You gonna punch me for everyone you've lost cos if you are kid then tell me so I know to stay down here cos you have lost a lot of people," Whistler said and I picked him up.
"Ya think," I said.
Daniel looked at Whistler, his time from being Ascended coming back, "Whistler."
"Hey Danny-Boy. Have a nice time with Summers here while she was dead?" Whistler asked and before he knew it he was on the ground from two different punches.
"Damn," O'Neill said. "Nice punch Danny."
"Why are you here Whistler?" Daniel asked and I could feel and hear the Venom seeping out of his voice.
"To deliver a message from the Powers that Be," Whistler said.
"I believe I speak for the both of us when I say you can tell them to shove it," Daniel said getting surprised looks from the SG-1 members
"Not this time Danny," Whistler said. "One of your snake boys is going to attack the earth and this is where the beloved Scooby gang comes in."
"How so?" I asked getting looks from all except Daniel who knew about the gang from when I talked to him in heaven.
"Come now Kid," Whistler said with a chuckle. "You think you could have run from your past, all the pain and hurting from when they brought you back from heaven and left you to crawl from your coffin. No you can't. It's your destiny and you have to fight. Red is gonna play a major part."
I put my foot on his chest and Daniel looked at Whistler warily.
"Willow going to do?" Daniel asked.
"It's not going to be easy to find out but you gotta look," Whistler said and I stepped back from Whistler a second before picking him up by his throat. "Slayer."
"What's Willow going to have to do?" I asked him.
"She's going to have to do what she's been dreading," Whistler choked out. "And you're going to get some help along the way.
"What?" Carter asked.
"I'm still listening," I said to Whistler.
"Danny knows what you've been through as I'm sure you're beginning to remember what he shared with you also," Whistler said. "You've been breaking apart from the Watcher and your friends long before you died the second time Blondie. Danny's the one who realized it when he was one of us."
"What are you saying Whistler?" Daniel asked as I released the messenger.
"Don't you get it? You and Blondie gotta dig into her past and find out what went wrong and fix it. Cos if not you'll be stuck with a scared Slayer and witch, and an Apocalypse to fight," Whistler said then as he was walking away he turned and looked at Daniel and I. "By the way, just a few words for you two. You may be afraid of going back Blondie, but Courage is not defined by those who fought and did not fall, but by those who fought, fell, and rose again."
Then Whistler disappeared leaving us in silence.
"Jack we have to go," Daniel said and I could hear the urgency in his voice.
"What just happened here?" O'Neill asked almost panicking in distress.
"I believe it's what you would call a Message from Above, O'Neill," Teal'c said and that drew a chuckle from Daniel as he laid a hand on my shoulder tearing me out of my daze.
"We'll skip the briefing possibly and go straight to somewhere where we can talk," Daniel said.
"I think the Colonel's about to freak," I murmured.
Daniel gave me a soft smile and he whispered, "The light's always on, it may be blocked, you just have to find it."
Daniel walked away then over to Jack.
"We'll meet up at-" Daniel started.
"My place," I said. "It's not bugged so it would be simpler to talk there."
"Well then let's hurry because I want to here why a witch is going to do something she dreads and why the hell you had to claw out of a coffin," O'Neill said as Teal'c dialed the address to get back home.
"What's going on inside your head?" Carter asked me as the boys stood in front of us.
"How badly I screwed up," I said and she looked at me. "I worked hard to get this position and live. I was ready to fight this war rather then the other one I was fighting. Everything was going good until Daniel and I remembered that we met another time and Whistler came."
"And you have to go back to your past," Carter said and I nodded. "Was it really that bad?"
"You saw how I fought those Jaffa warriors?" I asked and she nodded. "If you lived my life you had to know how to fight like that if you wanted to survive, but I'm not one to talk."
We walked up by the boys as we got ready to walk though.
"Of course you're not," Daniel smirked guessing what I was talking about.
"Why not?" O'Neill said hearing the last bit of our conversation.
"Because I died twice," I smirked.
"You say that so simply now," Daniel smirked.
"I've improved," I smirked and we laughed at the others expressions before we walked though the Stargate.
When we came out in the SGC room that held the American Stargate, Daniel and I were still laughing. Then the other 3 came out.
"What the hell?" O'Neill asked while Carter just looked at me.
"Teal'c seems to be fine with it," I said. "Later tonight."
"Later tonight, what Lieutenant?" Hammond asked walking in.
"We're going out to eat tonight," O'Neill said shocking me by how he was covering for me. "The kid killed her first Jaffa."
"Looks like a nasty bruise there Lieutenant. Go get that checked out in the infirmary," Hammond said and I frowned.
"Doesn't hurt though," I murmured.
"Not another Colonel," Carter muttered. "Come on. You're getting checked out."
Carter practically dragged me, but the whole way I voice my opinions.
"Come on Carter! Nothing's broken!" I whined getting smirks from O'Neill and Hammond, Daniel just Chuckled and helped Carter pull me. "I'll heal. No way in hell I'm going in there willingly."
Then we entered the infirmary and Janet saw them dragging me.
"Oh dear. Another Jack O'Neill," She said and then the two let go off me.
I gave a pout, "I'm fine. Bye."
"Nope," The two said each grabbing one of my arms and pulling me to a bed.
"Looks like it hurt," Janet said looking at my bruised jaw.
"Just give me two Excedrin, an ice pack, and I'll be outta your way," I said then at her look from dismissing the injury she thought was a little more serious than that. "I've had worse Doc."
"And you have worse now," Janet said. "I saw you limping as you came in like you hurt your back."
"Damn," I muttered taking off the outer shirt I had on to reveal a tank- top. "I blame you two for dragging me here."
"Come on," Daniel said with a sly grin. "You can't hate me after all that was said."
"Sure can Poofus," I said getting amused looks from Carter and Janet.
"Poofus?" Carter asked as Daniel glared at me.
"Payback will come, shorty," Daniel said and I gave him a dirty look.
"I would so have a comeback if the doc wasn't making my back hurt worse right now," I bit out getting a smirk from Janet.
I jumped off the table expertly away from Janet and I put my shirt back on.
"I'll heal just fine alright," I said.
"You just jumped off the table with a cracked rib," Janet said crossing her arms.
I looked at her then felt my back, "Really?"
"Yeah," Janet said.
I shrugged, "Better than getting thrown off a 100 foot tall tower."
"You jumped," Daniel corrected.
"Don't get into technicalities here Poofus," I said. "I had a good reason."
"Some chick was threatening your title as most intimidating woman?" Daniel smirked.
"Don't make me tell Giles on you," I said crossing my arms over my chest. "He would go Ripper on you in 1.3 seconds.....or he would just roll his eyes and cluck his tongue like the British guy he is but that's besides the point."
"I would enjoy that encounter actually," Daniel said. "From what I watched when I ascended he'd be an interesting person to talk to."
"Alright," Janet said. "Lieutenant, sit down and I'll put a brace on you so you can leave as long as you come back soon for another check-up. Sam, Daniel, keep and eye on her for the next 24 hours."
"Just wrap my waist tightly," I said and she looked at me. "Just trust me."
Janet rolled her eyes and then 20 minutes later us 5 members of SG-1 were headed towards my house in my Jeep.
"How are you moving so well if you have a cracked rib?" Carter asked.
"Danny," I whined as I drove.
"You know it better than I do Summers," Daniel said and I sighed.
"Alright. Into every generation, a slayer is born," I started.
"That's what this whistler guy called you," O'Neill said.
"Just be quiet for a bit Jack," Daniel said.
"As I was saying, into every generation, a slayer is born. One Girl in all the world, a chosen one. One born with the strength and skill to fight the vampires, to stop the spread of their evil and the spread of their numbers," I said. "Thing is, yes, vampires, the slayer, demons they all exist in this world. When the sun sets they lurk, and sometimes during the day also."
"Say I believe this," O'Neill said. "Where do you fit in?"
"Jack, Meet Buffy Anne Summers," Daniel introduced, "The longest living slayer in 387 years."
"That long. Damn," I said. "You see most slayers don't even live to see 19."
"Why? What's the purpose of it all?" Carter asked.
"To ruin some girl's life and use her as a tool to fight evil," I said.
"Come on Buffy," Daniel said.
"Come on Daniel," I said looking at him for a minute in the rear-view mirror. "Tell me one good thing that has come from me being the slayer."
"Dawn," Daniel said.
"Who I ended up dying for," I said and the three other members of SG-1 just watched our exchange engrossed in the way I was telling the past.
"Fine then. Anya," Daniel said.
"An ex vengeance demon who's afraid of bunnies. Xan left her at the alter ruining that," I said.
"But she did lighten things up again," Daniel said.
"Yeah especially when Sweet rolled into town," I chuckled then at Daniel's look. "Okay so I came back from the dead the second time and I went along with the gang thinking I was in hell. Then Sweet rolls into town and starts making everyone sing what they feel in their hearts. Anya did a whole thing on how Bunnies could be causing it and then later we're told she had an interesting piece with Xander."
"I can imagine how that went. Well then what about Giles? Good times there Buff," Daniel said.
"And those great times land him in England currently. Try again Poofus," I said earning me a glare.
"What's with the Poofus?" Teal'c asked.
"His hair's poofy sometimes," I said.
"Angel," Daniel said looking at me but I refused to meet his look. "You have to admit that was good while it was happening."
"When he turned evil and terrorized my friends, or when he left town?" I asked pulling into my driveway.
"I was gonna go with the night before that all," Daniel smirked with a grin that made me turn around after turning the car off and hitting him in the head with a light smack. "Oh come on."
"You're mean," I just said getting out.
O'Neill was laughing at how I smacked his friend. When we all were in my house we sat in the living room in silence.
"Where should we start?" I asked.
"The beginning," Carter said.
"Can we just skip that and go to present matter?" I asked.
"Might be best to explain it all Buffy," Daniel said.
"Too much to talk about Daniel," I said. "Plus a few things that I really don't want to have to explain."
"Such as?" O'Neill asked.
"When I was 17 I had to send my boyfriend to hell for one," I said putting my feet on my coffee table, then at their looks. "Yeah he went evil because of me."
"It wasn't because of you," Daniel said. "You both had no idea and he had that soul in him for over 100 years."
That got looks.
"He was a vampire with a soul," Daniel said.
"But I thought you killed vampires," Teal'c said.
"I do," I said. "Angel was an acceptation to everything when it came to my job."
"We never saw it coming," Daniel smirked and I just looked at him. "PTB were kinda impressed that you made it work as well as you did."
"That says something," I said rolling my eyes and bringing my knees onto my chair so I was curling up. "So let's just stick with the present sense."
"Why'd you leave?" O'Neill asked.
I thought a bit before answering, "I can't really think of why. It's just a thought that kept coming back to me during a long period of time. Things weren't always going perfect around us and I get that, but for a long while we've been growin' apart. When I left it was getting pretty bad, My friend Willow was starting to have an addiction to magic and we didn't even notice, Xander left his to-be wife at the alter because he was afraid of becoming his parents, Giles who was like my dad left to England, and my lil' sis was shoplifting. Add demon problems on top of that and it's getting to be a lot. Plus chips-ahoy was getting on my nerves."
Daniel Snorted, "Spike?"
I nodded.
"Chips ahoy??" Carter asked dazed at the existence of magic and evil.
"An Army thing called the Initiative put a chip in Spike's head –he's a vamp- so he couldn't bite humans," I said and they nodded.
"What was the witch that this Whistler guy was talking about?" O'Neill asked.
"My best friend. Her parents weren't really around because they were touring for some crappy psychiatrist bull and they said she could raise herself after her mom tried to burn us at the stake, but she's a witch," I said.
"Damn," O'Neill muttered getting a smile from Carter and me.
"Okay so Whistler said. Willow is going to play a vital part in some battle with the Goa'uld," Daniel said.
"But we have a problem here," I said. "I completely faked my identity. Hammond finds out, or anyone else for that matter, I'm out and you all are left fighting."
"That cannot happen," Teal'c said and we looked at him. "You have my word that I will not tell anyone."
"Same," Carter said.
O'Neill sighed, "Sure why not. Just tell me if we don't succeed in this fight what's gonna happen?"
"Hell On Earth," Daniel answered.
