Chapter 7:
Jack was pacing in his cell, his head was aching. He couldn't think. "What is happening to me!?" was all he said. He had his hands over his head and the pain was dreadful. His vision was blurry. Going on his knees, he let out a pain scream amd then, he blacked out.
When he woke up, he was strapped to an infirmary bed, his neck was restraint too. Sam was next to him. He eyed her, his eyes showing darkness and hatred. "What did you do to me!" he barked. Sam didn't flinch. "The Enzeim in your blood, it is disolving, the process is painful, we cannot treat it. I am sorry.". Jack squirmed and tried to bust free. "When I release myself, I will claim you as my first victim." He threatened.
Sam pushed him down and stared in his eyes. If he read her expression correctly, she wasn't being nice to him. "We'll see about that!". With that she left him. While he kept screaming out her name. "Carter! Carter! Sam!". She stopped at the door. He didn't ever use her first name before like that. She turned around. "Why? Why did you leave him? You had a chance without me." He asked.
Sam stood there. "Because the only man I truly loved was in front of me for the past seven years.". With that she left.
For hours, Jack was screaming and sweating. "Kill me! Kill me please!" he begged. Sam was watching from outside. She refused to leave him. John was with her. "He'll pull through. He is one of the finest damn soldiers I ever served under." He assured her.
Jack kept screaming, shaking, pulling on his restraints. His hair slowly faded back to the silver it was for his actual age. Slowly, he drifted into a painful sleep. But as he regained consciousness, he heard someone talking. It was McKay. He has no idea what he was talking about. But he spoke. "McKay? What happened to me?" he asked.
McKay was quiet. "What is the last thing you remember?" he asked. Jack thought for a minute. "That Wraith sucking the life out of me." He said. "Is this hell?" he asked at the end. McKay jumped with excitement. "No, you are alive. I'll be back." He ran for the door. "HE'S BACK!" He heard him.
Keller was shining a small light in his eyes. While Beckett took a blood sample. "How did I get here?" he asked. Beckett jumped in. "You were for the past six months under Wraith mind control, we rescued you when you attacked Atlantis.".
Jack shot him a look. "Attacked? Did I kill anyone?" he asked. Keller looks at the chard. "Nope, you didn't. Took out a Hive ship that sunk into the ocean.". Jack smirked weakly. "Cool.". When he was cleared, he was in his quarters. In proper clothing he sat there. His door opened and Sam stood there. He looks at her and was clearly surprised. "Carter?" was all he said.
Sam ran to him and jumped into his arms. "I thought I lost you." She said. Jack held her tight. "I am, so sorry, I should've told you of the transfer and-" but he got cut off when her lips met his. He was taken by surprise but he just mentally told himself: 'Fuck it.'.
He wrapped both arms around her. Not letting her go. He cupped his cheeks. Air was needed so they broke contact. "When did you get here?" he asked. Sam looks at him. Her eyes showing the need for him. "When you got captured, I got here as fast as possible.".
She looks at his hair. "Huh, it's silver again." She said. Jack was confused. "When I was under Wraith control, my hair was brown?" he asked. Sam nods. "Yeah, but I like it this way, gives more character.". Jack groaned. "What about Pete?" he asked. Sam then said: "Fuck him, I dumped him.". Jack then said: "Why?".
"Because I care about you, a lot more then I am supposed to." She repeated his words from the Zar'tac tests. Jack automatically knew, he was probably the dumbest man alive. He could've made his move years ago. Why he never did, doesn't bother him. He was glad to be himself.
But the Wraith Queen will be looking for him, which gave him an idea.
