"We train some more," Jesse said, as she dragged Ethan back into the room by the collar of his shirt, with Carter behind them. "I'm not gonna stop, until this idiot learns how to stop."
"He hit a wall again didn't he?" Jack asked Carter, as he got to his feet.
"Yes, Sir," she answered him.
"Okay, Eth, we're gonna do this until you can stop," Jesse said, as she put her hair up into a pony tail. "Or until one of us passes out."
"It's not gonna be me," he said, as he blurred across the room only to slam into the wall.
"Wanna make a bet."
"That one doesn't count."
"Let's make a deal," Jack said, as he stopped Ethan from trying to blur again. "Teal'c and I will work with Ethan, Jace, and Keirra. You'll work with Riley, Daniel, and Carter."
"That'll work," Jesse said, as her group went over to one part of the room, while Ethan's group went over to the other part. "Now we train."
"This is the part where I'm confused," Daniel started, as he winced when he heard Ethan hit the wall. "How do you guys need to train? You are very powerful fighters? What more can you learn?"
Jesse shot Riley a look and she sighed. "We take our speed for granted sometimes," he said, as he looked over to see that Kee and Jace had begun to spar again. "We need to learn how attack in slow motion."
"Okay, we can help you with that," Carter said, with a smile. "Let's see what you got." Jesse and Riley broke from each others side as they began to spar. "This should be good."
Jesse ducked one of Riley's punches and kicked at his side only to have him block it. He went to strike her only to have her trip and hit the floor. "Ouch," Daniel said to Carter in a soft voice. "That was graceful."
"I know," Jesse said as she jumped to her feet in one motion. "I'm always graceful."
"Very good hearing," Riley mouthed to Daniel, as he ducked another one of Jesse's attacks, only to blur to the other side of the mat.
"Hey, no blurring." Jesse blurred over to him and knocked him into the wall. "That's the rules, Ri."
"Says the girl who just broke them herself." Riley pushed her off of him only to have her to knock Kee down in the process. "Oops, sorry Kee."
"You should be," Kee said, as they both jumped to her feet and turned on Riley. "You should know better."
"Oh, I should?" Riley asked, as they got him backed into the wall. "Jace, a little help here."
"Oh, right," Jace said, as he came up and swung at Jesse, only to have her knock him to the floor. "You're on your own dude."
"How about we call it a truce?" Daniel asked, as he moved to step in between them. "I think we've done as much training as we possible can today. I don't think Ethan can take much more of that wall."
"Fine, tomorrow," Jesse said, as she went over to check on Ethan.
"Riley, would you like to help me work on that device some more?" Daniel asked him, and he nodded. "Okay." They then took off for his office, leaving the rest of them alone.
"Bye," Jace said, as he sat up from his spot on the floor. "Man, that hurt."
"Sorry about that, Jace," Jesse said, as she offered her his hand and helped him to his feet. "I forgot you're a normal human."
"Oh, thanks for pointing that one out. So what do we all do?"
"Well, I have to work on something in my lab," Carter said, as she took off.
"I'm going to go meditate," Teal'c said, as he headed for the door.
"Really?" Kee asked him, shocking them all. "Can I join you?"
"If you wish." Kee then followed Teal'c out of the room.
"Jace, I think you should go get checked out by Doctor Frasier," Jesse said, as she put a hand on his shoulder. "You took a nasty blow to the head back there with Kee."
"Okay, I'm going." He then trotted out of the room, leaving Jack, Ethan, Jesse, and Katie.
"Let's go see what Carter's doing," Jack offered, and they took off for her lab.
"Uncle Jack," Katie started as they got to the corridor outside of the lab.
"Yeah, Katie."
"What's for lunch?" That got everybody to chuckle, as they entered Carter's lab to see that she had crystals set all around her lab. "Cool. Crystals." Jesse snagged her before she could touch one. "I wasn't gonna touch it."
"Yeah, sure you weren't," Jesse said, as she ruffled Katie's hair. "Like I trust you."
"What's the worst that can happen?" Ethan asked, as he moved, and before anybody could stop him, he touched one, only to have it start to glow. "Oh, oops."
"What did I say about not touching them?" Jesse asked him, as they adjoining crystals started to glow as well. "This isn't going to be pretty." She handed Katie over to Jack and she went to touch one of them only to pull her hand back as it burned her hand. "This isn't going to go well." She picked up a piece of metal and swung at the crystals only to hit a force field. The impact threw her back into the wall. "This is not going to be good. Riley!"

"So you really did enjoy your Grandfather on Sha're's side?" Daniel asked Riley, as he helped him but away some new artifacts.
"Yeah, he was great," Riley answered, as he put some books away. "He taught me a lot about the Goa'uld, just like you did."
"Oh, well that's good to know." Riley froze and quickly looked at the door. "What is it?"
"It's Jesse," Riley said, as he headed for the door. "Something is not right"
"They said they were going to help Carter in her lab." They took off for the lab, only to come across a force field at the door. "What the hell?"
"Hello, Daniel," Jack said, as he slammed a fist into the force field only to prove that there was a force field in front of the door. "We have hit a little problem."
"Ethan," Jesse whispered to him, as she handed him Katie. "I need for you to blur through the force field and take Katie with you."
Ethan looked at her in shock. "I can't," he said, as fear grew in his eyes. "I won't leave you behind."
"I can go through the field just like you, but Katie can't. I need you to get her out of here."
"Okay," he put Katie onto his back and blurred towards the door, only for him to slip through but Katie didn't. She hit it at the speed and bounced off. Jesse barely caught her before she fell to the floor. "Sorry." Ethan was at the other side shaking in fear.
"Ouch," Katie cried out, as the crystals started to glow brighter. "Jesse, I'm scared."
"I know, little one," Jesse said, as she took up her in her arms and blurred out of the door. Soon she was on the other side, feeling faint. "Here." Daniel took Katie as Jesse fell to her knees. "Man, those crystals are strong, but we have to shut them down. They'll explode, killing Mom and Dad."
