Author's note

This is my first Stargate Fanfiction, I've only just started writing and I've become a bit addicted. Hopefully you'll like what i've wrote. I'll be honest with you, I've only written the first chapter of this but i've got quite a few idea's about how to continue. If it's a success i'll write more.

Please review!

Summary: A familiar face risks it all to come to the SGC, with them they bring a warning. Will they challenge the popular misconception that you can't change the past?

This will probably have jack/sam moments later on for all you shippers out there.

Set around season five 'ish'

Disclaimer:I don't own the show etc etc


Pain seared through her senses, engulfing her body. She fought against the darkness, which threatened to pull her under. 'I have to save them. I have to prevent it all' was her only thought passing through her mind. It spurred her on, gave the pain a purpose. She was getting closer to the gate; 'I will make it' she thought determinedly. She did not allow herself to consider what would happen if she failed.

Weapons fire and guards were becoming ever nearer. Her gaze fell upon the top of the Stargate, located over the next hill. She used all the strength she had, and more as she sprinted towards her goal. Her legs felt as if they were about to give way but she was seconds away from safety. She reached the dialling device and paused, she reached into her tattered pocket and drew out a device, and the beeping indicated it was active. "Come on hurry up." She whispered to it, willing for it to complete its task faster. The light upon it flashed and she took her cue. She began entering the seven symbols, the chevrons lit up and the Stargate began to turn. She finished dialling and waited for a wormhole to establish, the mere seconds felt like hours had passed. She was feeling weaker with every passing second.

The sixth symbol locked as a pulsating weapons beam headed directly towards her, she saw it and dodged. They had caught up with her! Several figures ran towards her, the seventh signal locked and a wave shot out of the gate. She needed to go now! She was hit on her shoulder, her assailant sending her and himself flying towards the ground. She did not have time for this! She retaliated using her last ounce of energy and after a few swift kicks he was unconscious, she stood up, and dived through the open gate, her last conscious thought was a prayer to a higher power that she would arrive safely.

Alarms echoed throughout the corridors of the SGC, armed airmen ran into the gate room as the chevrons on the Stargate locked in place. Everyone on base knew what that meant- someone was dialling in.

"Are we receiving an IDC Walter?" General Hammond asked entering the control room. None of the SGC teams were off world and that left one of their allies. He only hoped they weren't bringing yet another warning. Earth had faced too many threats lately and it was times like these when he asked himself just why he hadn't retired yet. As of yet he had not come to a definite answer.

"No IDC's as of yet sir." was his reply

As the technician answered, the metal iris of the Ancient Stargate swirled open, revealing the pale blue, shimmering event horizon of the open wormhole.

"I did not order the Iris opened, shut it immediately." Hammond demanded, anything and anyone could come through, he was not willing to put this base and more importantly Earth at risk.

"It wasn't me sir, I'm trying to shut it it's not working." Walter responded nervously, his fingers flying across his keyboard; "we're receiving some sort of jamming signal that is blocking our control."

"Can we shut it down?"

"Negative."

Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter chose that minute to come rushing into the room; hearing the end of the conversation.

"What's gone wrong this time?." Was O'Neill's 'greeting' as he walked over to the General. He received a brief nod from his superior.

Major Carter went immediately to the computers and began quickly typing. "We need to perform the manual shut down, it's probably a Goa'uld device, we're completely locked out of the mountains systems, we need to hurry we're completely vulnerable."

The Colonel acknowledged, he agreed with his second in command. The Goa'uld had no doubt found some new way to screw with them he thought to himself grimly. He ran in to the gate room, despite the danger. He didn't have time to get to the manual shut down as a figure dived through the gate. They landed hard and face down upon the ramp, weapons fire shooting through behind them. Jack hit the ground as a weapon blast headed straight for him, narrowly missing him. He recovered immediately, for him and the other members of SG1 this was a regular occurrence. He dashed towards the gate's control box, seconds later the gate deactivated; the figure on the ramp lay unmoving.

O'Neill accepted a firearm from one of the soldiers in the gate room; he gripped the trigger slightly as he slowly walked over to the body lying on the ground. He couldn't make out their face, but they were definatly human. He reached down and checked their pulse; it was beating, but very slowly. The pistol was still gripped in one hand, using the other he turned over the figure. His eyes widened, a look of shock on his face as he realised who it was. "Get Fraiser down here now! We've got a medical emergency." he shouted looking up to the people in the control room. A look of urgency etched upon his features.

He looked down again at the figure; dark crimson blood had covered his hands from where he had turned them. A deep wound on their chest the source, caused by some sort of energy weapon Jack theorised. He looked up to their face. Her eyes were closed shut. He had recognised her the second he turned her. It was the same face he had seen day in day out for the last five years. Except this time a dark purple bruise and a bloodied gash were also apparent. It looks like she's been through hell and back to get here Jack mused.

"This can't be good?" Jack whispered to himself as Doctor Fraiser came running up the ramp, medical bag in hand. "Oh my God" she gasped upon seeing her patient. "Is it really…?" She asked

Jack only nodded "It's Sam, and she's in a bad way……."
