Jesse and Ethan were goofing around in Daniel's lab while Daniel and Riley tried to decipher the text on the device. Cater and Teal'c were doing a sweep of the base to make sure that there were no more Ra'fa left on the base. Janet and O'Neill had gone to talk to Hammond about what she had found.
"I miss Cassie," Ethan said, as he sat down on one of the chairs as Jesse stopped to see how far they had gotten.
"Yeah, I know, Eth," Jesse said, as she looked up to see that Janet was at the door. "I'll be right back. Eth, you stay here with Riley and Daniel." She then jogged to the door and found not only Janet in the hallway but O'Neill, Carter, and Teal'c. "Hey guys, what's ups?"
"There are no more of your friends here," O'Neill said, as they started to walk away from Daniel's lab. "We have a few questions for you."
"Okay, like what?" She leaned up against the wall and crossed her arms.
"Okay, for starters," Janet started, as she reached into her lab coat's pocket and pulled out a small vial of the serum and tossed it at Jesse who caught it without looking up. "Why didn't you tell us that you were just as much addicted to the serum as Ethan was?"
"Because it's been months since I had a seizure, so I thought that I had adapted to it and didn't need it anymore. The reason I didn't tell you is because I kinda forgot about it in the heat of the moment. I had other things on my mind, and one of them wasn't giving you my complete medical history."
"We can do tests on you to see how well your body has adapted to the serum."
"No, more tests!" Jesse turned only to come to a stop when Teal'c stepped in front of her. "I'm not afraid of you, Jaffa. I've taken you on in my time many times and come out living. You do not scare me at all."
"Jesse, stand down," O'Neill ordered her, and she turned to face him with a frown on her face. "What?"
"I'm not part of any military group, so technically you can't tell me to stand down."
"Oh, really." Jack crossed his arms over his chest and stared down at her. "We can put you in the bridge because you wouldn't behave yourself."
"I'm not scared of any of you." She took a step back away from them only to freeze as she began to shake. "Not now." She then started to blur only to stumble and fall hard to the floor. "Riley! Ethan!" Tears gathered in her eyes as she tried to get to her feet but could not. "Riley."
In a blur of motion, both Riley and Ethan were there. Ethan stayed next to Carter's side as Ethan hunched down next to Jesse's side as she began to seizure. "Riley, what's wrong with her?" Ethan asked, him as Riley tried to grab her arm but she threw him off of her. "Riley?"
"Stay back, Eth," Riley ordered him, as he moved so that he had Jesse pinned to the floor. "Go get me some of that serum."
"Okay." Ethan then took off to get it.
"Jesse, listen to me." Jesse threw him off of her again and struggled to get to her feet. "Stand down." She froze and shot a glance at him with extreme fear in her eyes. "It's going to be okay." She got to her feet and spun around to face him with her hands up. "You're not going to fight me."
"Why? You think that I'll beat you."
"No, you're gonna end up hurt in the end."
"I don't think so." She turned to run away from him only to slam into Teal'c's chest. Both of them hit the floor in a thud and she quickly got to her feet. "You dare try to stop me, Jaffa. You have no right." Her eyes flashed orange and she then was gone.
"Did I just see her eyes flash orange?" Jack asked them, as he helped Teal'c to his feet.
"I think it's the serum, sir," Janet said as she came up with Daniel holding onto a struggling Ethan. "His eyes just flashed orange as well. What the hell is going on?"
"It's the serum," Riley said, as he grabbed onto Ethan and slammed him back into the wall. "Okay, talk to me."
"I will not talk to you," Ethan said, as he struggled to get away from him. "I am superior to you. Nothing you can do to me will harm me."
"Nothing?" Riley slammed a fist into Ethan's face knocking him unconcious and he let him slid to the floor. "I guess that's nothing." Janet went to Ethan's side and checked his vitals. "He'll be up in like five minutes so I would get him to somewhere he can be kept." He then shot a glance down the hallway and frowned. "I gotta go."
"Where are you going?" Daniel asked him, as he helped Janet with Ethan.
"I think off world."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Because Jesse's going off world."
"We can't allow her to go off world, sir," Carter said to O'Neill as they watched Riley take off down the corridor. "If she gets off world, she'll never be able to come back here. She doesn't have a G.O.D., or the correct Iris codes."
"That's a problem," O'Neill then turned to face Janet and Daniel. "You guys get him somewhere he can't get into trouble. Teal'c, Carter, and I are going after big sis."
"I'll meet ya there," Daniel said, as they took off for the gate room.
The moment Sg-1 entered the gate room, they found that the gate hadn't been activated and both Jesse and Riley were in the midst of sparing each other. "This can't be good," O'Neill said, as Daniel came up with tranquilizer guns. "Thanks." Jack took one from Daniel and aimed at Jesse. "Now if we can only get her to not blur so much."
Riley grabbed onto Jesse's arm and threw her down onto the ramp hard. "You're going to obey me," Jesse snapped at Riley, as he twisted her arm behind her back and held her to the ramp. "Or I will have you killed."
"I'm sure you will," Riley said, as he nodded at Jack who then shot her with a tranquilizer dart. She let out a moan as her eyes slowly changed back to normal.
"Riley? What happened?" Riley released her hold on her somewhat as she tried to sit up. "Riley?" She then slipped into unconsciousness.
"Is she out?" Jack asked him, as they came up to their side. "Or is it like before with the really short nap?"
"No, she's out," Riley said, as he got to his feet and shot a glance down at Jesse and then over to Daniel. "We need to figure out that device. The sooner I can go back and get the antidote for the serum, the better. They won't make it much longer."
"You're gonna go back to your time, grab the antidote, and come back here?" Jack asked, as Riley shot a glance up at the gate and then down to Jesse.
"Yeah, I have to. They can not die. If they die the war against the Goa'uld is all ready won by the Goa'uld. They are the ones who give humans a fighting chance to win the war and to survive."
"Then we really should be getting back to that device," Daniel said, as they all shot a glance down at Jesse who had begun to shake. "Is she gonna be all right?"
"I don't think she has much time left." Riley then hunched down next to her and touched her arm, only to pull it back in shock. "She's freezing cold to the touch. That can't be good."
Janet ran into the gate room with two men. "Ethan's gone into shock. He's dying."
"So is Jesse," Riley said, as he got to his feet and looked up at the gate. "I have to go now." He then blurred out of the room only to return moments later with the device. "I think I know how to work this."
"How?" Daniel asked, as he got to his feet. "We've been trying to figure it out for hours. How are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm sure." He touched some symbols on it and the gate lit up. "I'm really sure, that you guys might want to move."
Jack and Teal'c grabbed Jesse and pulled her away from the Gate as it opened and revealed an open worm hole. "I'll be back in a bit. Keep them alive."
"How will we know it's you?"
"I'll put in your birthday, dad," Riley then was gone in a flash through the gate and it shut behind him.
"So that's it?" Jack asked the question he was sure was on everyone's mind. "We just let him go by himself? Unarmed?"
"We have to, sir," Carter said, as she shot a glance down at Jesse to see that she had began to shake again. "It's the only way to save them."
"I sure hope he knows what he's doing?"
"Yeah, me too."
