Jesse was a little dazed from the serum and hyper all at the same time. Janet was on the verge of sedating her and strapping her down to the bed. Riley then took Jesse by the arm and whispered something into her ear. She smiled and took off. "What did you say to her?" Janet asked him just as Jesse went through the door.
"I told her to find me a yoyo," Riley said as he sat on the edge of the bed. "If she has something to do, she'll calm down. It probably won't take her long to find one."
"Found one," Jesse called out as she ran into the room. "Dad had one in his desk."
"Did you ask him if you could have it?" Janet asked her, as she hopped up onto the bed next to Riley and began to play with it.
"I can't really do that right now. He and the rest of SG-1 are having a heated discussion with General Hammond about us. He doesn't know what to do with us."
"Okay." Janet then went back to work, leaving Riley and Jesse alone.
Riley then turned to face Jesse and she continued to play with the yoyo. "We need to talk," Riley said, as he grabbed her arm forcing her to look up at him.
"Can we talk somewhere else?"
"Sure. Where do you want to go?"
"Home, but I know that's not possible, so how about somewhere not here."
"Sounds like a good idea." They got to their feet and left the infirmary. They started to walk down the corridor letting people pass them along the way. "Okay, we really need to talk." They slipped into Daniel's lab and she sat down on one the chairs. "When were you going to tell me that they were doing tests on you?"
"I was hoping that you weren't going to find out." She set the yoyo down on the table and began to fiddle with Daniel's notes. "I didn't know how you would react to it."
"What?" Riley leaned up against the edge of the table and looked down at her. "Did you really think that I would think of you as anything but the person that you are?"
"Yes, I did." She got up and began to pace the lab. "You don't know how hard it was for me to really trust you after our parents were killed. I was suddenly alone in the world with a baby Ethan to take care of. I didn't know if we were going to make it."
"And you're starting to feel that way again."
"You bet. We just seemed to be living our lives without having to fear for them, when it's all taken away from us. We've lost so many."
"So you're giving up?" Jack asked from the door, causing Jesse to spin around with a knife in her hand. "Easy, we just wanted to talk to you." Jesse turned and threw the knife into the wall. "Hey, be careful with Daniel's walls."
"Yeah," Daniel said, as he went up and pulled the knife out of the wall. "You can really hurt someone with one of these."
"Really. I didn't know that," Jesse said sarcastically as she went over to Riley's side. "So what did you guys decided what to do with us?"
"We're going to help you get home," Daniel said, as he sat down on one of the chairs. "Somehow."
"Get away from me," Ethan yelled out in the hallway. Jack turned to see Ethan fighting what seemed to be air.
"What the hell?" Jack said out loud as Jesse and Riley joined his side. "He's fighting thin air."
"No, he's not," Jesse said while she squinted her eyes and looked over at Riley. "Please tell me that's not what I think it is."
"I'm afraid it is."
"How the hell did they get here?"
"I don't have any idea. Maybe they jumped in with me."
"What are you guys talking about?" Daniel asked them, as they watched at Ethan was thrown to the floor. "Aren't we going to help him?"
"How can we fight someone we can't see, Daniel," Jack pointed out just before Riley and Jesse took off down the corridor towards Ethan. "What are they doing?"
"It looks like they're helping him, sir," Carter said, as she and Teal'c came up to their side. "What if something really is attacking Ethan, and we just can't simply see them?"
"Like the re'tu?" Daniel asked her.
"I don't know." They heard contact and turned to see Jesse flying towards them. She hit the floor hard and slid about five feet before she came to a halt at their feet. "Are you okay?" Jesse got to her feet and blurred into Daniel's office only to return with the knife. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to hurt it before it hurts anyone else."
"Jesse, knife," Riley called out, as he was thrown into the wall. Jesse palmed the knife and threw it right at him. At the last moment, he grabbed it by the handle and sliced the air in front of him. He must have hit the being for green puss hit the floor and his clothes. "Man, I hate this things."
"Do you still have the weapons you used to kill off the re'tu?"
"Yeah," Carter said, as she took off to get some.
"What are they?" Jack asked Jesse as she watched both Riley and Ethan go flying. "Are they re'tu?"
"Yes and no."
"What do you mean 'yes and no'?"
"They are a new hybrid the Goa'uld made. They are part re'tu, part asgard, and part Goa'uld. They can become invisible at any time and are really strong."
"That sounds wonderful," Daniel said, as Ethan and Riley collieded in the air. "Ouch, that had to hurt."
Carter came up to them with two of the guns and Jesse took them out of her hand only to turn the light part on. There in front of Ethan stood a huge creature that looked like a cross between a re'tu and a Jaffa. "They're uglier than I remember," Jesse said, as she shot it. The creature took the blast straight to its chest and fell back to the floor. "Damn, these won't work. They aren't powerful enough to kill them off."
"So then what do we do?"
"Stay alive."
