I DON'T own SG-1 CHARACTERS!!!!!

Daniel picked her up gently and brought her back to the house where SG-1 was beginning to make breakfast. Skylar had roused by then and insisted on walking into the house on her own, but Daniel still supported her on his arm.

"This is Skylar." Daniel said when they walked in. "She's seen the Goa'uld ship and will take us to them."

The team all watched her curiously, but her eyes were locked with Ryer's.

Skylar? Skye heard a voice inside her head, and somehow knew that it belonged to the shorthaired woman who had for some reason captured her attention. Who was she? Had they met before? Back on Estinian? Before? On Aryion?

"Skylar, these are my friends, Samantha Carter, Jack O'Neil, Teal'c and Ryer Ord Star."

"Ryer!" Skye gaped in disbelief. "We – we all thought you were dead!"

The rest of the SG-1 team looked at each other with confused expressions.

"You two know each other?" Daniel asked.

"She's my sister in…" Skye stopped. "Best friend." She finished. Ryer wouldn't know about her marriage yet. "We thought…the wraiths had-"

"You know about the wraiths?" Ryer was as surprised as Daniel.

Sam eyed the angry wounds. "Maybe you two could catch up in the living room, I'm going to go get the med box."

Daniel helped Skylar onto a couch and Ryer immediately started asking questions.

Jack, Daniel and Teal'c left them alone.

"What about my family? Are they…" Ryer persisted.

Pain filled Skylar's eyes, and Ryer gulped, trying to prepare herself.

"Your parents and mine were killed in another raid, three years after you left." Skye told her.

A tear trickled down Ryer's cheek.

"And – my brothers and sisters?"

"Joshua was killed the same year, but as far as I know, the rest are fine. And your mom had two more children after you left, Marc who's…" Skylar calculated in her head. "…7 now, and Louisa is going on 5. I wouldn't know really, because I haven't been into town, or seen any of them for the past four years."

Ryer didn't say anything for a moment, but looked back up at Skylar after she had brushed her tears away.

"But what about your family? Why haven't you been spending the past four years with them, or a husband by this point?"

Sam walked in then, and quietly began rubbing at the flesh with a rag that was dampened in some medicine that stung.

"My siblings died in the same raid that you went missing in. My parents died 3 years later. I married Joshua was I was 16. He died that year. I left your siblings, my in-laws, in Kaitariel's care. That's when I found the Stargate. I punched some code and traveled to Estinian.

'I went to a college there for two years. That's where I learned about the wraiths and orcs and Goa'uld. After graduated, my fiancé was killed by the Jeffa. That's when I found out how to get back here. I hid so that I couldn't be hurt b losing loved ones, it's more painful than death."

"Wow. So much had happened since we've last seen each other." Ryer said sadly.

"Sorry to interrupt, but Skylar, how did this happen?" Sam interjected.

"I was bitten by a coyote. It was hurt and I tried to help it, but it was too upset and attacked me."

" I can't put stitches in it, the bite is too wide. I'll have to wrap it up." She left again to get the needed clothes.

"So what is this team that you're on?" Skylar asked, glad to change to a less painful subject.

"SG-1. We base on a planet called Earth, and use the Stargate to go to different planets and fight different enemies, along with learning more about the Stargate."

"That sounds fun."

They talked until Sam had finished wrapping the bites, and Skylar thanked her.
