A/N: This is the last chapter. Thank you for all the reviews. I hope that the ending is what you were expecting. Let me know what you are thinking. If you are nice I might post something else in the Stargate universe. Thanks again for reading.
Daniel nervously paced the room that was given to him. It had been three months since he woke up in this place. He still didn't remember anything from the past 20 something years, but it wasn't from lack of trying. That's what today was, another attempt at trying to jog his memory.
So far they had tried everything from looking at pictures to visiting his apartment, his parent's grave and his office. He was very impressed that these people where willing to help him out with everything. Since his parents died he couldn't remember anyone being this nice to him.
Drs. Frasier and Lew were extremely patient with him, and didn't ignore him when he had a question. They didn't treat him like a child, which he was happy about. He knew that he wasn't a child, he just couldn't remember that he was an adult.
General Hammond was like a grandfather to him. Taking him on tours of the base or even just sitting with him telling stories to help jog his memory.
Teal'c was someone he wished he knew as a child. At first the big man was intimidating. But Daniel soon found out that he really did have a soft side. He was often by his side making sure that Daniel was okay. Teal'c had even started to teach him some martial arts. This was great in so many ways to Daniel. First it was a way to help him get used to his new longer limbs and the way his body moved. It also gave Daniel the confidence he needed every time he was able to master and execute a new move.
Sam was also great. While everyone was worried about his emotional state, she made sure he wasn't bored. She was the one who brought him books to read and artifacts to look at. He was so grateful that she didn't try to get him to forget about what he liked the most.
Then there was Jack. The best friend a person could ever have. Jack was the one who stood by his side no matter what. Whether it was a nightmare or frustration over not remembering something, Jack was there to offer a comforting word. It was so different than what he thought the military was like. Jack liked to joke around too. Often Jack would say something, a little side comment that only Daniel could hear, that would make him crack up.
The knock on the door broke his train of thought as the last person he was thinking of walked in. "You ready?"
"I guess." Daniel asked.
"You don't have to do this if you don't want to." Jack commented.
"No. I have to. It sound like it might be fun." Daniel answered with more confidence than he thought.
"Good. Let's go. Teal'c hates it when we're late."
Daniel smiled and followed Jack out of the room.
Teal'c held on to him as he came through the Stargate. He was internally grateful for that. If not then he would have collapsed from the sensation. It's what he imagined a roller coaster would feel like.
"Deep breaths." Sam pat his shoulder. Daniel nodded, still unable to speak.
He wanted to do this. The chance to visit another world sounded like a fairy tale to him. Plus he got to play that he was an archeologist like his parents were. He took one more deep breath before standing up. "I'm good. Can we go?" He asked.
Four sets of eyes, Jacob Carter joined them, looked at him and nodded. "Here we go campers." Jack called as he started to walk to the ruins.
Jack and the rest of the team took turns checking up on Daniel, but mostly left him alone. They figured that they'd let him work as if he was the Daniel that they knew. If the memories came back, great, if not, well they'd cover that later.
It was Jack's turn to go check on Daniel. They'd been looking in on him every hour or so. Each time he was in the same position, sitting with his legs folded running his fingers along the wall with a pad on his knee and a pencil in his mouth.
This time, there was an acidic smell and Daniel wasn't were they left him. "Daniel?" Jack called.
"I'm here." A voice called from a dark corner.
Jack walked towards the voice. "You okay?"
"No Jack, I'm not. I need to go back."
"What's wrong?"
"Jack, just get me back to the base. I need to get there now."
It was then that Jack noticed that Daniel called him 'Jack'. Normally it was 'Colonel O'Neill'. "You remember?" He asked as he knelt down.
Daniel nodded.
"Okay. Let's get you out of here." Jack keyed his radio. "Carters, Teal'c. We got to go. Meet you at the gate." He then turned back towards Daniel and helped him to his feet. "We'll finish this now, once and for all."
