Summery: AU- The treaty has a flaw (at least in Paul's eyes.) SG-15 gets a fifth member who is just a clueless as Daniel when it comes to how others see him.
Warnings: Uh, Jack's a general (which to me is scary even if is canon.) Really, you just need to worry about the severe AU factor. And dead slash relationships- I can't write a straight Daniel. So, he has exes in the forms of Davis, Raynor, and Gardener (which is canon het.)
Author's Notes: Hell is trying to figure out how to follow 'Singing'. I thought about Kelowna, but I don't wanna kill Danny. Not yet, anyhow. So now I figure I might as well make life as hellish for Paul as I can.
ooOooOoo
Jack blinked.
Sam smiled.
Teal'c… was Teal'c.
SG-15, complete with their newest alien member had returned from their week of bonding. Bra'tac was in jeans and a tee with a pair of the loudest colored trainers that money could buy. Paul was still military perfect, but with a tan and the bleary look that followed a night of drinking. Jennifer had a new hair color that was sorta natural looking, with thin streaks of what looked to be green and violet, she was just toeing the line on how far she could go with her look at work. Daniel, well, he was just himself, blue hair and all. He was also currently breathing in coffee and muttering how maybe getting a caffeine drip into his veins would be a good plan.
Martouf- Lantesh, the latest member of SG-15, and current suitor to Sam Carter, was well, changed.
His ears were now sporting three earrings all together, two in the right, and one in the left. His nose bore a strobe charm that he begged Sam to create; his hair was no longer brown. Instead he had obviously let Daniel pick out a nice lime green base with black tips. Sam let Jack see some of the pictures that Jennifer took during their trip to New York City and Washington DC, in them Bra'tac looked like an indulgent father and Paul, Jennifer, Martouf-Lantesh, and Daniel were perfect images of punk, which Jack could tell disturbed the others around him at the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum.
"Oh, that one. I think the snobs were disturbed to hear Professor Jackson start teaching us about the potential futures that could have happened both without an ice age and if the ice age had lasted longer, which turned into us giving him various points in history and Daniel telling us what might have happened. It was kind of a game as well as a cool way to get Bra'tac and Marty-Lan knowing a bit more about what most American's get about world history." Jennifer said when Jack asked about the photo. Paul nodded.
"Both can easily pass for normal now, and any lapses can be covered by a simple cover story." Paul said with a smile. Jack understood Paul's wanting to get the two aliens as used to Earth as he could. Paul used to be responsible for any slips that Teal'c made and those slips cost money in bribes as well as far too much paper work for everyone but the alien making the mistake.
Of course, Jack thought that Paul had a less noble reason as well. If Marty could pass as a homo Saipan born and raised in the US of A, then they could start taking the boy out more. If they could take him out then the boy from planet Vorash could find a nice girl or boy to date, which meant that Daniel would no longer be in danger of getting hit on by the Tok'ra.
Not that Marty or Lantesh were hitting on Daniel, both sides of the guy were focused on Sam Carter and dead set on her in a romantic sense. Jack also saw the guy looking at other girls, never other boys. As far as Jack could see Marty was straight, but then again the whole treaty thing seemed a bit fishy. It was like SG-15 had maybe not told them the whole story of why it ended up being just Daniel and Marty who had a say in the whole thing. It made no sense.
Jack was distracted as another photo was held in his face.
"Oh! Look at this one." Sam held up one with Daniel and Jennifer playing on the outdoor sculptures at the Smithsonian Mall, Paul was yelling at them while Martouf-Lantesh looked bewildered.
"Yeah, about that, maybe you can explain why someone would create a giant coil of steel and paint it with spots." Martouf asked Sam who just laughed.
"Beats me. I think artists are all nuts." Sam said and Martouf's eyes glowed as Lantesh came up.
"That's what Jenny and I said, but I think Daniel and Paul's nattering on about cultural insanity confused Martouf." Lantesh said and gave the two men a glare.
"Not that it is hard to confuse Martouf with anything other than technology and espionage." Bra'tac said, "You Tok'ra have been depriving him of the better things in life." Lantesh sighed and nodded.
"True. This is why I suggested I take this position. The Tau'ri seem to have a more healthy balance in their fight."
"Huh?" Daniel looked up from his coffee, obviously not awake despite his eyes being open, "I dun wanna figh'." Daniel said before draining the rest of his coffee. Everyone smiled at him and then ignored the sleeping man in favor of looking over the documentation of the experiment in acclimating extraterrestrials to American culture.
(Conversation day before trip: "Why did we call it that? Everyone knows America has no culture."- Daniel
"Because if I put that on the paperwork we get paid and the US Military will foot the bill for anything and everything we do on this trip, including credit cards for shopping."- Paul.
"Good call."- Daniel)
"Ah, this I enjoyed greatly." Bra'tac said as they looked at a picture of the 'old man' beating some kid at a game of Mortal Combat 2 at an arcade. "Do you intend teach your young to fight in such violent and fantastic games?" he asked with an evil grin. "We Jaffa could use such training materials adapted to the fight with our oppressors."
"It would also be good for the Tok'ra in the education of those we ally with or those humans who are in our care." Lantesh said.
"Video games?" Jack asked. Paul nodded.
"It could be a good way to slyly introduce Earth to the threat without divulging the truth, plus it would help fund us." He said and Jack sighed.
"Lemme guess, Haley, you just happen to already have an idea started."
"Yeah. Folger and Lee have been helping me refine it, but give it a few weeks and I'll have a copy for your Playstation that you say you don't have in your office." She said with a smirk. Jack looked at the team that used to be his, and they gave him looks that clearly said 'approve it!'
"'Kay." And on went the 'debriefing'.
