Chapter Three

A Witches Point of View

Willow sighed from behind the computer. She was almost in. She offered Kennedy a smile than looked to their four guests, who were standing, huddled in a circle, talking amongst themselves. After a few chosen latin words, she opened up her feelings to them.

Dr. Daniel Jackson. The first thing she sensed about him was his brilliance. His ability to understand any human language in existance, including those that died thousands of years ago. She smiled and delved a little deeper, revealing to her his love, and loss for a woman named Sha're and a place called Abydos. There was still saddness there, though Willow could tell that whatever had happened, it happened long ago.

She then focused on Samantha Carter. This woman was strong, independent. Willow felt the deep love she held for her father, as well as the loss she had for her mother. There was another love there, though the Major tried to keep it hidden, for Jack O'Neill. Willow smirked, knowing the rules about fratinization. When Willow went a little deeper, she started getting feelings that she could tell weren't Samantha's. Her brow furrowed and then she turned her attention to Jack O'Neill.

Immediately she felt the over-whelming sense of companionship that he felt towards his teammates. The love that Major Carter felt for him was reciprocated deep in the Colonel's mind. His sense of humor almost made Willow laugh out loud. He was incredibly smart, more than he let on to his friends. She went a little deeper and was saddened at the guilt and loss he felt surrounding the death of his son. She caught the Colonel's eye and gave him a small smile of comfort before focusing on 'Murray'.

She found out his true name almost right away. Teal'c. He had a strong sense of self, as well as a strong loyalty to his teammates. He also harbored a great deal of hate towards something called the Goa'uld. Willow burrowed deeping into the large man's mind and practically jumped out of her skin.

Other memories, those that weren't Teal'c's consumed her. Not like with Major Carter, where they were faint and less clear. No, these feelings were pronounced and strong. The feeling of hatred and pure evil surrounded her.

"Oh, Goddess." she gasped, pulling herself out of the trance.

"Willow?" Kennedy asked, worriedly. It was a few seconds before Willow composed herself enough to say anything. By then, she had the attention of the entire group.

Quickly, she weaved a binding spell around Teal'c, speaking in latin, her voice low.

"Will? What's going on?" Xander asked, looking between his friend and the man she binded.

Jack and Sam immediately raised their weapons, pointing them at the redhead.

"Willow!" Buffy called, finally getting the witches attention.

"Don't you sense it, Buffy? You said he wasn't human. There is definitely something evil in him." Willow said, her eyes black.

"What is she doing to him?" Daniel asked, not yet willing to raise his own weapon. Teal'c stood, stiffer than usual, unable to move but to breathe and blink.

"Willow, let him go." Giles said, calmly.

"And let him attack us all?" Willow asked.

"He's not going to attack anyone. He's a good guy." Daniel tried to reason.

"What exactly is he?" Buffy asked, now irritated.

"Let him go and we'll try to explain," Jack said, his gun still trained on Willow.

"Will?" Buffy asked and Teal'c slumped visibly.

"You okay?" Jack asked.

"I am." Teal'c said simply, his eyes focused on Willow.

"Wanna put the guns down?" Buffy asked, the irritation evident in her voice. Both Jack and Sam hesitated before lowering them, but neither took a hand off their firearms.

"How did she do that?" Sam asked, outloud, though mostly to herself.

"Nevermind that. Our question first. What is he?" Buffy asked.

"Actually. First I have a question," Jack started, and before Buffy could inturrupt, he finished, "How is it that you, a civilian, have the highest military clearence possible?" Jack asked.

"I do?"

"She does?" Sam and Daniel echoed.

"We did a little background check and came up with some pretty interesting things. Burned down a high school gym, investigated agianst in the case of a murder, as well as blowing up your high school on graduation day. But the thing that interested us most was your security clearence." Jack explained.

"The Initiative!" Willow spoke up, still slightly weak from the magicks.

"What?" Jack asked.

"Of course!" Giles said.

"Inquiring minds want to know." his Slayer asked. Giles took his glasses off and began to clean them habitually.

"After the incident with the Initiative, the President must have given you the high clearence so nothing would hinder your ability to intervene, should something else happen." he said.

"Lovely. A Slayer, 'ready-to-use'. Military's gotta make sure they can cover up their mistakes, or at least make me do it."

"What's this Initiative you guys keep bringing up?" Daniel asked.

"That's something you're going to have to talk to your boss about. If you did a thorough of a job as I think you did on my background check and didn't come up with anything regarding the Initiative, then either one of two things. You don't have high enough clearence," she paused and sneered at Jack, "Or they did a great job at burying the whole thing." Jack made a mental note to have someone check out this 'Initiative' "So, back to our question. What is he?" Buffy asked again.

"The only person that we're authorized to tell that to, would be you." Jack stated.

"Does it have something to do with these 'false gods' we Slayers are supposed to fight?"

"Yes." Jack answered, carefully.

"Then deal with them knowing. We work together, as a team. Either we all know, or you can deal with whatever monster the military created on your own."

"Well, you said there were other Slayers. We could just contact one of them." Daniel spoke. Buffy shot a glare at Kennedy.

"What are you going to do? Dial up 1-800-Rent-A-Slayer? Sorry, but we hardly advertise who we are. Especially to military folk." Kennedy snarked, trying to make up for her earlier slip-up.

"She's right. We don't even know exactly what makes someone a Slayer. We'd have no way of finding another." Sam told her team. Buffy smirked, knowing she was winning.

"So, again. Tell us all, or you're on your own. What is he, and who are these 'false gods'"

"The Goa'uld." Willow said, her hacking forgotten for now. And again, all eyes were on her.

"What did you say?" Jack asked, getting angry.

"The false gods. They're called the Goa'uld." Willow clarified.

"And why would you say that?" Daniel asked.

"Well, you're reaction to the name, for one. Besides, Teal'c told me." she paused. "Uh...Murray. His real name is Teal'c." she explained to her confused friends.

"And how did you come to that conclusion?" Jack asked, warily. He was liking the redhead less and less.

"He told me that, too."

"I do not believe I told you anything in that nature." Teal'c stated.

"Well, you didn't tell me, tell me. I was getting a feel for the group and when I got to Teal'c, his name sorta popped out at me. That's probably because he has a strong sense of who he is. Buf I also got this feeling of hatred, and I think that since the feelig was so strong, the source of the hatred was given a name. The Goa'uld." Willow explained, mostly to her friends, but the members of SG-1 didn't miss a word.

"You felt? What else did you get from this...whatever," Jack asked, waving his hand. 'Great, now she was becoming a security risk,' he thought to himself. Willow smiled, sensing his anguish over the whole situation.

"Not to much. Mostly all I get are feelings. Emotions, and sometimes, if the feeling is strong enough it gets a name or a place."

"And how exactly do you do that?" Sam asked, her scientific mind working in overtime.

"Magick." Willow said simply, and shrugged, giving SG-1 a half smile. Jack looked at her suspicously.

"Riiight. Well, we're going to have to get authorized to tell you all, if that is what we decide to do." he said.

"Sure, whatever. In fact, feel free to decide not to tell us anything. We have plenty to do the way it is."

"Buffy, let's not get to hasty. That tablet, if it really does exist," Giles paused, giving a look to Daniel, "Then it means that it's something the Slayer has to take responsibility for." Though Giles was also wary of anything regarding the military, he still knew what had to be done.

"Doesn't mean I have to like it." Buffy pouted.

Jack looked over the group, his look of confusion never leaving his face. "We'll be in touch." he said and motioned for his team to leave.
