A/n: Thanks everyone for my reviews. Minor spoilers of 'Chimera' and of course season 8 and 9. Disclaimer: I don't own stargate although I wish I did…


Previously on 'Reflections' (lol): "She loves you Jack…" And now the conclusion…

Jack starred at Daniel blankly. "Excuse me?"

"Well, she didn't say it in so many words, but yeah, she loves you."

Jack gapped in complete shock, but Daniel continued to talk. "I haven't told you the best part, at least, for all intent's purposes, but still, the greatest cosmic irony we've seen in a while, you love Sam too, but of course, not in so many words."

Still in shock, Jack spoke up, "That would explain her using 'peachy,' and her always being so perky."

"The funnier thing is that she's a scientist, an astrophysicist to be exact."

Jack couldn't believe his ears, "This reality is screwed up. But kinda makes me wonder what happened here that would be so different from our own."

"True, but consider what possibilities we didn't take to have made our reality different; they must've gone through similar events as well. Janet died in the line of duty a year ago. And Catherine Langford too."

"So, what do we do?" Jack asked, cutting to the chase and getting bored with another world's history.

"I'm not quite sure with the details, but why don't you ask Sam out on a date, we try to explain, and worse comes to worse, we'll kidnap her. With the help of the ring if need be."

"A ring? As in 'you may kiss the bride?' No way am I marrying a scientist."

"No Jack, the Egyptian ring, remember?"

"Oh right. Scared me for a second Daniel."

Footsteps were heard nearing the room. Daniel took a peak, "Ok, now here's your chance; act casual."

"Leave the wooing to me, Daniel." Jack walked into the hall in a suave manner and walked next to Sam. "Hey, how's it going?"

"Good, sir. You?"

"I'm fine. I'm actually a little hungry though. Would you care to go to lunch with me topside?"

Sam was caught by surprise. "Uh, sure. I have to finish a few things, but I'll meet you outside?"

"Great." After she was out of hearing range, Jack mumbled, "It's a date."

Meanwhile- General O'Neill at the Pentagon received another phone call from General Landry. "Hey Jack. Now that you've confirmed you weren't in Area 51 earlier, I'm glad you're still in your office."

"What's going on now?" Jack asked a little exasperated.

"One of my airman spotted you on base."

"So, now what? What do you want me to do?"

"I don't know. Stay put; make sure there is someone with you at all times possible to establish an alibi. I believe we may have an impersonator on our hands."

"Or just an alien who wants to infiltrate your facility."

"Thank you General for your help." Hank said sarcastically.

"Yes. General Sardonic at your service, always."

"Bye Jack."

"Bye Hank."

Back at the SGC- Sam knocked on General Landry's office door.

"Come in."

"Here are the mission reports you requested, sir."

"Thank you Colonel."

"You're welcome. If you don't need me, I'd just want to let you know General O'Neill and I are heading out for lunch topside."

"Alright. Is he flying in? I was just on the phone with him in Washington, Colonel." Hank raised an eyebrow; he had done so ever since he met Teal'c.

Sam was slightly concerned, "No, sir. I was just talking to him a minute ago on base."

General Landry proceeded to explain. "A few hours ago, two men resembling General O'Neill and Doctor Jackson were found escaping from Area 51 with a stolen car. I know the quantum mirror was 'destroyed,' but it is still stored in that facility. Is there a possibility that they could be from a different reality? Now, you realize the implications and you could've encountered one of the impersonators. Have you noticed anything strange with those particular men?"

"No, sir. But I am heading out to lunch with one of them. Would you like me to try and detain them, or follow along and try to extract information from them?"

"At the moment, they do not pose a threat to anyone, so better to stick with your plans and try to get as much information. Good luck Colonel and be careful."

"Thank you, sir."

Topside of base- "Ok, Daniel. I'm taking her to O'Malley's Bar and Grill, if they have one here, and I'm going to explain to her our situation. If it doesn't go well, I'm going to use the ring. Worse case scenario: we kidnap her. Now, as corny as it may sound, I'll send you a telepathic message if I need you, alright?"

"Yeah. I'm so glad we don't have a girl on our team."

"Why? Isn't that a little sexist coming from you?"

"Well, no offense, but if we did, you might fall in love with her and cause us trouble."

"Regulations Danny boy, prevent such problems from occurring. Besides, I would never fall in love with a scientist."

"Sure," Daniel said unconvinced.

"I can't believe we're doing this and I can't believe the other me fell in love with an egghead."

"She's really nice, Jack. You'll change your mind soon enough."

"Sure." Jack smiled. "Here she comes; meet me there." Daniel slid away while Sam approached.

"Hey sir. We haven't had time to catch up. How's life in Washington?"

"Oh, as usual, boring. I would so much rather be going off world and risking my six, than having my six numbing on a chair. You know, with my old aging body and all."

Jack and Sam smiled in the car. The weather was nice, but both still felt slightly uncomfortable considering their situation. Sam considered a few things about this different version of Jack. Hardly noticeable, but he never called her Carter, but other things were true to character such as the fact that he didn't initiate conversation but cracked a joke when he did speak. Sam was also considering telling him that she knew he wasn't the real Jack O'Neill she knew, which she chose in the end.

"Sir, I know you're not the General O'Neill I know, so either you tell me what's going on, or I call in reinforcements."

"Ah crap. Why don't we have lunch first? I'll call Daniel too. It's the least we could do with the news we're about to give you."

On P2J-697- Janet sat on a throne next to a tall, pale, skinny, man. He had dark curls just above his ears, deep green/blue eyes, and wore medieval attire that kings would wear. Janet was in similar attire fit for a queen. She was just sitting there next to her king, waiting for the assembly to start. Suddenly, the king spoke.

"My people, my children, my elders. Thank you for attending this emergency meeting. It is most urgent that we recognize and create a solution for out situation. Here, seated next to me, is Janet Fraiser, who will be our queen for the time being. My Queen Selena, may she rest in peace, shall always be in our hearts. But as time passes, I near the age of passing as well, and I must find a suitable replacement. At the moment, Janet's kind have gracefully agreed to help us find our majesties for Janet's safe return as well as the remedy to their 'illness.' Another issue is that our lines of vampires are diminishing. I urge you to seek out new cultures and people who are willing to join us. We have been lucky and have enjoyed plenty of bountiful, fertile, years, but time changes many things. I believe my queen has a few things to say as well."

Janet stood up to speak. "Welcome all. Thank you for allowing my presence among you; it is an honor. I don't know much of your culture or people, but your hospitality has been great. I shall try to help as much as I can. I am a doctor, a healer of sorts, in my world, and I wish to help you if I can. I have been asked to drink from the cup that you all have partaken in so that I know more about your lineage and perhaps provide any service I can to you. May Queen Selena rest in peace." Janet paused to face the man next to her, "And may King Solaris provide harmony for all of your kind."

Their speeches were well received as the assembly of people clapped politely.

"May I speak with you, Solaris?" Janet inquired after most people had left.

"Of course, my child. What is it that you wish to know?"

"Well, I'm very grateful for your hospitality, but I was wondering what would happen to me and your people, if Jack and Daniel can't find a replacement."

"That, my dear, is not a possible solution. But if it comes down to that, you must be our queen, and you must also choose a new king."

Janet's heart quickened and Solaris sensed it. "Don't worry, my child. Have faith in your men; I believe they will not abandon you."

"I know, but it is not in them to choose the fate of one life over another."

"You will learn someday, that some battles are never won. Even immortals must die…"

"I'm sorry it has to be that way."

"I am sorry too."


A/n: well, I hope that was an all right chapter. I did try to switch settings and plot around, because some of you wanted to know more about Solaris. Hope you liked this chapter, please review, thanks!
