"Do we have to assume that Dr Jackson is now held captive by Baal?" General Hammond asked shortly after he had opened the briefing.

"Well, sir", Jack began, "I don't really think so. Supposedly he's still in the hands of this planet's commander. Daniel seemed to know her from somewhere."

"So do you think she wanted him for herself in the first place?" the general inquired.

"I assume she might have some kind of unfinished business with Daniel", the colonel pondered.

"What makes you so sure?" Hammond was still a bit skeptical.

Now Teal'C spoke up for the first time, "On the way back to the Stargate Daniel Jackson behaved in a strange fashion..."

"Yeah", Sam consented, "it was as if their thoughts were linked in some way."

"Then this warlord really possesses supernatural powers?" Hammond frowned.

Jack thought for a moment, "Judging from that light show she pulled off and the way Daniel reacted on it, I'd even say it could've to do something with the Ancients."

"Then we'd really have a problem, people. But why should a person in possession of powers like theirs hide within Baal's ranks?"

"No idea, sir", Sam stated, "but I could try and reach my dad. Perhaps the Tok'ra have intel on the planet and the garrison commander."

"Do that, Major", the general rose, "you are dismissed for now. We'll continue and think about a possible rescue attempt when we know more about the situation."

As he was gone Jack jumped up to help Sam with her crutches, "There ya go, Carter."

"Thank you, sir", she smiled thinly.

"You're welcome. The shot must've hurt you pretty much, huh?"

"Well, when I think about Daniel's current situation, that's nothing. I just hope he isn't dead by now."

He tried to reassure her, "I don't think so. We're still talking about Daniel here." Carefully he helped Sam to climb the stairs down to the control room.

All of a sudden her energetic presence appeared in front of his, luring him to a remote, dark place where he never been before.

"What I'm offering you will change everything", her spirit was close to his, "you'll reach powers even the Ancients can only dream of", she paused lingering even closer to him, "and we'd reign the universe together."

"And what do you want me to do for that?" Daniel let himself drift away from her evil spirit.

"Get me out of Oma's reach, so that we can descend, defeat Anubis and take over his reign."

Daniel let out a bitter laugh, "You're crazy and you're evil, why the deuce should I help you to realize your childish cravings...?"

As Daniel woke up again he found himself lying in a spacious bath tub with uncounted rose petals floating through the warm, sweet-scented water.

The surrounding room was dark, lit by many small candles that were spread across the floor like a wide sea of light.

For a short moment he allowed himself to relax, trying to ease his throbbing headache. But only seconds later he tensed again: he had just realized that her presence had been close to him the entire time. And now she emerged from the water and approached him as close as she always did.

"So why haven't you helped me, Daniel?" Yasir whispered threateningly, demanding a truthful response, but he did not give her what she wanted:

"Counter-question : Why have you put me into this bath tub?"

She threw her head back in an unnerved way, "Because I didn't want to take my bath alone and because I found you smelled pretty unclean."

"Criticizing my taste of aftershave or what?" Daniel teased her.

His statement angered Yasir more the he thought. "Listen carefully now", she hissed, "I don't know if you remarked it, but you've been unconscious for hours now, for your pathetic little mind being unable to stand my strength. But as it looks I'm forced to do all that to you again and it isn't of my concern if you die an extremely painful death this time. It really isn't..."

She took his face into her cupped hands, "... stupid little boy. So if you'd tell me what I want to know", she whispered, "it'd be a lot easier for both of us."

Daniel chuckled quietly, "You're really funny, Yas. You know exactly why I didn't help you", he paused looking right into her eyes, "Because you were far too dangerous to be set free."

"So, am I? Danny, you're really flattering me", she grinned deceitfully, "if only Baal knew that..."

"Then what?", he groaned.

"Nothing of your concern", Yasir snapped and within seconds she had tapped into his mind again.

Then he'd kill you. He will anyway... After I'm done with you.

Daniel sighed inwardly, this was going to be a long night...

AN: Hopefully that was a bit better (at least speaking of the bathtub part).
