A Stargate SG-1/Doctor Who Crossover

Summary: A chance encounter on a random planet leads a pair of intergalactic wanderers straight into the heart of Stargate Command. Events quickly become complicated in a hurry. And there's something not quite right about Lab 32…

Chapter 2

The depressing sight of a cold concrete ceiling was the first thing the Doctor saw when he awoke. He turned his head to the side to find Rose next to him, her head resting in sleep on the edge of his bed. Feeling him shift slightly, she woke up. She immediately expressed how happy she was to see him awake.

"Where are we?" he asked.

She smiled, realizing that for once she knew more than he did. "We're on Earth."

"Just because it looks like Earth, doesn't mean it is. Although it does bear a striking resemblance…"

"I know that! But we really are on Earth. Daniel said something about traveling through the Stargate."

The Doctor knew that he really should be able to recall what a Stargate was, but his head was pounding. Besides, he had other issues to think about. Like who was this Daniel guy? Then he remembered their capture, his separation from Rose, their eventual escape and the burning pain centered below his left shoulder. The pain was practically non-existent at the moment. He wasn't sure if that was due more to his superior healing abilities or late 20th century medicine. Either way, he was thankful it was him instead of Rose. At least he knew he'd recover.

"I was really worried about you," Rose suddenly whispered, her gaze shifted to the floor.

"I'll be fine. I've survived far worse injuries than this," he replied.

"But I didn't know that." Rose looked up to meet his gaze, the hint of tears in her eyes. "I thought…"

"Rose," the Doctor interrupted, for once being perfectly serious. "I will do everything in my power to make sure you never have to think that again."

Any further conversation was halted by the inconvenient arrival of the doctor (of the purely medical variety). She introduced herself as Dr. Janet Frasier and then she busied herself with checking his injury. She was surprised to find its advanced rate of repair. Although she wasn't completely amazed once she considered that her patient wasn't exactly human.

"Needless to say, I'm pleased with your recovery." She then smiled. "I must admit I was quite surprised to find two hearts instead of one…"

"Yeah no kidding…" Rose muttered.

"Thanks for the hospitality, but I believe we must be going now." He said as he made to get up. He was also searching for his leather jacket, hoping it hadn't been tossed somewhere.

"Go where?" Janet asked, suddenly wary that her patient was trying to escape from her infirmary.

"Back to Intara."

Janet assumed he meant P3X-996. "You'd have to talk to General Hammond about that."

"Great!" He answered with a big grin. He grabbed Rose's hand and made it three steps toward the exit before turning back. "Where would I find General Hammond?"

"Where do you think you're going? I haven't release you yet," she said as she tried to steer her patient back to his bed.

"But I'm fine. You said so yourself," he argued. "Besides, it should be completely healed in a few hours. And I have better things to do than lie around in bed."

"Oh yeah, like what?" Janet challenged. She had heard all the excuses as to why patients should be released from her care.

"Like saving the world."

Janet sighed. She was hoping she'd get something original. After all, he was an alien. But Colonel O'Neill had tried that one on her a few weeks ago. "Nice try. Now back to bed until I say you're ready to leave."

The Doctor realized he was going to have to do better if he expected to be leaving anytime soon…

-----------------------

Meanwhile, the four members of SG-1 were debriefing General Hammond about the events of their latest mission. It never ceased to amaze the general how this team in particular managed to find trouble wherever they went. A simple recon mission had led to yet another search & rescue operation. He was just about to send a team back to the planet when Jack and Daniel had stumbled through the gate with two strangers in tow.

"So you're saying you were rescued by two complete strangers you met in a prison?" he asked, trying to make some sense of the outrageous set of circumstances.

"Yes sir," Jack quickly replied.

"A young girl and an alien?"

"Apparently," Daniel muttered.

"Two people you know absolutely nothing about and yet felt it was alright to bring them back here?"

Sensing the shift in conversation to a more serious topic, Jack felt he had to justify his and Daniel's actions. "They helped us. And asked for nothing in return. I wasn't going to just leave them there." A moment of silent contemplation passed between the two men. The general was silently asking his second-in-command for his opinion of their guests.

He must have received a satisfactory answer for he returned to addressing the rest of the team. "Alright, they can stay for now. But I suggest we keep their visit under raps. I don't need the NID breathing down our necks." He could just see the greedy looks on the faces of the NID agents who would be dying to get their hands on an alien of unknown species.

-----------------------

A short time later, Janet was amused to discover that not only had the pair of strangers managed to convince her to release the Doctor from the infirmary but they had also gotten her to lead them to the briefing room.

When they arrived, SG-1 had just finished their debriefing. The general invited their guests to have a seat. He cast a questioning glance in Janet's direction and was greeted with a confused look and an amused smile. But she did nod to indicate that the Doctor was healed enough to participate in the meeting. Then she excused herself and headed back to check on her other patients.

General Hammond decided the easiest way to begin would be with introductions. Once that was concluded, he chose a direct route of questioning.

"So, I understand you're not exactly human…"

"Nope."

Seeing that no further information was going to be offered, Daniel asked, "Are you from P3X-996?"

Darkness passed over the Doctor's features for a brief moment before being replaced with that goofy grin. "No, but speaking of that planet, we really must be getting back now."

"You barely escaped with your life last time. Why would you want to go back?" Jack asked.

"I left something there." He noticed the looks of doubt as to what could be so important to risk his life over. "I won't abandon the TARDIS," he declared adamantly.

"What's a TARDIS?" Sam asked.

"Time and Relative Dimensions in Space."

As Sam tried to make some sense of the response, Rose took pity on her and clarified, "It's his ship. And we really need to get back to it."

The room perked up at that. "You have a ship?"

"Yes, and I've grown rather attached to it, so if you don't mind…" He stood up and motioned toward the artifact looming in the background. "If you'll just fire it up we'll be on our way."

"I'm afraid I can't do that," General Hammond replied. "I can't just let you go walk into a hostile area."

"We've gotten out of worse situations than that," the Doctor countered.

"You would risk Rose's life as well?"

Rose replied before the Doctor could. "I know the risks. And we really do need to get back to the TARDIS."

"General, sir," Jack interrupted. "Perhaps SG-1 could escort them back to the planet."

"We do kinda owe them for helping us out," Daniel added. "We're already familiar with the area."

Sam continued, "And we could provide valuable information about how the Jaffa operate so they could avoid any confrontations."

"I believe it would increase their chances of avoiding further injury if we were to accompany them," Teal'c concluded.

Realizing he was outnumbered, the general finally relented. "Very well. SG-1 you have one hour to get ready. I'll give you four hours on the planet. If you are unsuccessful by then, you'll return to the gate. Understood?" He was answered by a chorus of "Yes sir!"

The team filed out followed by their two visitors. The last thing the general heard was the Doctor asking Rose where his jacket had disappeared.
