Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait! Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to take a break from this story. My muse has dried up and I realized that I no longer have an actual plot for this story. The one I had when I started got changed as I wrote it (as it usually happens). So I'm going to have to go on hiatus until I can get something to go on. I'm really sorry! However, I do plan on finishing this story eventually. Check out my new story, "Love Drive Home" while you wait:)

Here's one more update before the break.

Chapter Nine

Power

Kennedy sat up in her chair suddenly. She tried several times to call out to Willow telepathically, but was unsuccessful.

"Something's wrong." she said, getting the attention of Dawn and Andrew, who were busying themselves with a video game that they charged to Giles' credit card. "Can either of you reach Willow or the others?" she asked.

Both Dawn and Andrew tried for a second and a worried expression crossed Dawn's face.

Without a word, Kennedy grabbed the keys to the rental car and left the room, followed closely by Dawn and Andrew.

"Willow!" Buffy exclaimed, going to her friend.

"Get Dr. Fraiser in here, quickly." General Hammond ordered the airman, who left immediately. Willow's eyes blinked open.

"Wow." she said, breathlessly.

"Wil, are you alright?" Xander asked, helping her to sit.

"Yeah. Wow. That was...intense."

"What just happened?" Daniel asked.

"Willow?" Giles prompted. Willow blinked a few times before using Buffy and Xander to help her to her feet.

"Sorry. I guess I just wasn't expecting that." she was met with eight pairs of eyes waiting for her to elaborate. "Imagine getting hit by a Mack truck going at full speed. That's how much power that 'gate's giving off." Willow looked behind her.

"Power?" Sam asked, still confused.

"So the 'gate's mystical than?" Giles asked.

"Um, kinda." Willow said as she readjusted herself so she wouldn't get overwhelmed again. She turned back to the group. "It seems to be largely technological, but there is some definite magical power coming off the 'gate. Who ever created it definitely had some serious power."

"Magical power?" Jack asked, incredulously.

"Vampires and demons aren't the only supernatural beings out there." Buffy stated.

"You mean witches?" Daniel asked as Dr. Frasier entered the room.

"Sir?" she asked General Hammond. The General glanced at the redhead who was now looking at the 'gate in awe.

"It seems that everything is back to normal, Doctor. Thank you for coming up." he told Dr. Frasier.

"Are you sure, sir?" she inquired. Willow looked around to the doctor.

"Oh yeah, I don't need a doctor. I'm fine." she smiled. Again, the doctor looked to the General, who noedded and she departed.

"You're a witch?" Jack asked, disbelief evident in his voice. Willow just gave him a small smile and shrugged. "So, a Slayer, a Witch, and a Watcher. What are you? A pirate?" he asked, looking at Xander's eye patch.

"You know, it's amazing. I haven't heard that one yet." Xander stated sarcastically. Sam and Daniel both tried, unsuccessfully, to hide their smiles. Even Teal'c's mouth turned upwards into a smile. Jack glared at his team members.

"Alright, now that the big secrets are out, let's get down to business." Buffy said and they all took their seats around the table. "How are we going to deal with this prophecy?"

"I think the best idea would be to station a Slayer here at the SGC." Giles suggested.

"Didn't you say the Slayers are all young girls?" General Hammond asked.

"There are a few who are over 8, such as Buffy."

"I think it might be better to have a few Slayers here..." Buffy started but was interrupted by Willow who suddenly made a sound like she remembered something. "Wil?"

"Um...we should probably give a call to Kennedy. Shemight start getting worried." At first, Buffy was confused, but then realized she couldn't speak to any of her friends telepathically. The connection must have been broken when Willow passed out. Buffy witnessed the look of realization on both Xander and Giles' faces.

"That might be a good idea." Giles said. Buffy took out her phone, but then realized she wouldn't get service with 27 floors ove earth on top of her.

"Got a phone we can use?" she asked the General hopefully, who motioned to the phone on the table. Willow stood and picked it up, dialing Kennedy's cell phone.

"Hey, Ken. No, we're all fine. I just sorta fainted. We'll be out of here soon, don't worry...Kennedy, I don't think the General here would appreciate that." Willow said quietly into the phone. She said goodbye and hung the phone up with a small smile.

"What's up?" Xander asked.

"Caught her just in time. They were already on their way here."

"Why?" Daniel asked.

"They probably got worried with Willow passed out." Buffy explained.

"How would they know?" Jack asked, suddenly worried about wires and bugs.

"We had a kind of connection to them and it was broke when Wil fainted." Buffy said.

"What kind of connection?" Sam asked.

"A telepathic one." Giles told them after a second of hesitation.

"Now you guys are telepathic too?" Jack asked. This was almost too much for him.

"No. Not in the actual sense. It was a spell to connect us." Willow told them. General Hammond felt the familiar pang of a headache he generally got whenever he was dealing with a certian colonel.

"I think it would be best if we could continue this tomorrow. It's getting late and we should probably prove to the others that we're alright." Giles said. The General nodded.

"We'll send a car for you tomorrow." he said, and with that, the Scoobies left.

Eh. I'm not so sure I like that chapter so much. Let me know what you think :)
