Chapter 2- Never touch alien objects
As SG1 reach the temple, Daniel suddenly got a burst of energy and quickened his pace and ran straight into the temple
"Daniel wait you don't know what'+ in there" Carter shouted
"DanielJackson do not enter" Teal'c's voice bellowed
"Daniel stop that's an order" Jack shouted
After the rest of SG1 shouted at him, he seemed to finally here what they were saying
"Sorry guys I don't know what came other me" he said apologetically
"Yeah fine Danny whatever, Ok Teal'c you search the perimeter, Carter, Danny set up camp and I'll get some wood" As O'Neill issued the orders SG1 set off each on there specific tasks. After each task was complete SG1 sat around the fire eating there MREs
"You no something Carter, you're a scientist, tell me was this ever alive" he threw other the MRE over to Carter she smiled
"Damn I love those smiles"the voice in Jack's head told him again
"I already know that everything about her is beautiful"
"Then take her now
"I can't I'd ruin her career, I can't do that to her"
"Fine your loss"
As Jack fought a mental battle Carter kept trying to get his attention
"Sir, SIR" she leaned forward and shouted at him
"Hm what?"
"You're on first watch."
"Yeah ok go gets some sleep guys, Danny you take second"
"Yeah ok Jack, Are you okay?"
"Year I'm fine"
"Ok Goodnight"
"Night" And Daniel walked into their tent and left Jack to look on into the night
As Jack sat there contemplating tomorrow's events, he found his mind wondering to the temple, there was something strange about those ruins that made Jack feel uneasy, well it wasn't exactly uneasy, it was a feeling of curiosity he didn't like
"There's something about this place that I don't like, something weird"
As Jack sat there his black ops training kicked in when he heard someone emerge from the tent it couldn't have been Daniel he'd only been there for about 30 minutes, he turned his head around and saw Sam emerging from the tent
"Oh crap its Carter" he thought as he looked at her, she came round and sat by his side
"Couldn't sleep?" he asked her
"Well duh" he thought to himself
"Yeah" She noticed Jack's posture which hadn't eased since they got there
"You've got that feeling haven't you sir"
"Yeah I have Carter, there's something about this place I don't like, something's just not right"
"Oh" Carter said not knowing what to say, when jack has a feeling offworld it's usually right, and SG1 know never to ignore that. For the next hour and a half Jack and Sam sat talking, while they were talking Jack noticed Sam was shivering,
"Come here Carter" she moved closer and leaned her head on his shoulder and fell asleep as Daniel walked out of the tent he saw Jack's eyes finally close on seeing Daniel. Daniel decided to do a double shift and let Sam sleep, in some ways he pitied them
"Those guys can never win, they save the world god knows how many times and they still can't be together, It's just not right" He sat there and poked the fire with a stick to keep it burning, he knew that Sam and Jack loved each other but weren't allowed to show it, Teal'c knows that too but says nothing, so Daniel just left them there, they looked happy and peaceful, and so Daniel settled against a wall opposite the 2 officers and kept his eye out for trouble, until Sam's watch ended and Daniel went to wake Teal'c
"DanielJackson why are you awake it should have been MajorCarter's watch" his voice edged with concern
"Don't worry Teal'c I took double watch"
"Why?"
"Come and see" and Teal'c did he got up and out of his tent and walked outside he looked over at the sleeping couple and raised his eyebrow in the usually Teal'c way
"Should we wake them?" Daniel asked thinking if they left them longer, they would kill them
"I believe this is what you a Kodak moment!"
"You brung that camera Jack got you for your 100th birthday" He asked, knowing Jack gave Teal'c a camera for his 100th birthday only a few months ago
"Indeed I did DanielJackson" Teal'c said as he emerged from his tent carrying the camera
"Hurry up Teal'c before they awake" Daniel said quietly as he saw Jack stir at the noise. At that very moment Teal'c pressed the button and the flash went off. Thinking they'd awake Teal'c rushed back into the tent and put the camera deep into his pack leaving no evidence of the picture being taken, but to both their surprises they did no awaken although Sam moved her arm and wrapped it around Jack's arm and carried on dreaming, leaving Daniel and Teal'c to sit watch and wait for the sleeping beauties to arise.
It was eventually 0830 when Jack finally woke much to the amusement of Daniel, who smiled sweetly and said,
"Morning sleeping beauty, I see you had a nice night!"
"Wha" said a groggy Jack who still hadn't woken up properly, Jack then saw Danny with a cup of coffee in his hand and started to get up but then stopping feeling very stiff but more weirdly feeling something attached to him, he also looked at her face to see the major smile in her sleep obliviously enjoying the company,
"Oh crap" he muttered looking and Daniel and Teal'c, and seeing Daniel with a smug grin and Teal'c with the slight hint of amusement on his face
"Daniel, bring us a cup of coffee, I don't want to wake her "he said know Daniel had already made him a cup of coffee for when he woke up
"Sure Jack" Daniel said while picking up the cu and handing it to Jack, as the smell of coffee was blown towards Sam , she started to stir and then wake up, she felt like she was curled around something then looked up to see the smiling face of her Co
"Oh crap" she said mentally while still looking at her Co
"Um Good morning sir, sleep well" Sam said trying to avoid the subject of how they were sleeping. But before he could answer, Daniel butted in,
"Course he did Sam" obviously teasing them both.
"You know Daniel; I could pull us all home saying there's a hostile here!" Daniel's look of sheer horror ass Jack finished his sentence
"You can't do that Jack because there aren't any hostiles"
"Well I'm sure Carter would agree with me if you don't shut up!"
"Yes sir I'd have to agree if Daniel doesn't shut his mouth" Daniel was now in the defensive position ready to defend his case
"Well what about Teal'c" he said turning his head towards Teal'c
"I will not get involved with this argument Daniel Jackson" while raising an eyebrow towards Daniel signalling that they had all that the needed
10 minutes later they had packed up camp and headed towards the ruins as they got closer towards the ruins they could hear the trickling of a nearby river. As they finally reached the temple entrance Jack was nearly holding Daniel back while Sam checked to see if there was anything dangerous and Teal'c scouted the perimeter again for any sign of Goa'uld presence. When they had finally said that it was safe Jack let go of Danny and he literally ran into the temple. When Jack and Sam entered the temple, while Teal'c stood watch, they saw Daniel practically jumping up and down like a 7 year old child itching to tell them something
"Daniel, do we need a toilet break already?" Jack said with a smirk while Sam controlled her laughter and Daniel snorted
"Jack! You're never going to believe this but the writing on the wall is written in an old Latin text"
"Really!" Jack said his voice dripping in sarcasm
"Jaaaaaack let me finish, as I was saying the text and pictures explain of a device exactly like the fountain of youth"
"Do you think if I take a dip it'll help my knee?"
"No Jack you don't get it I mean it'll make you young again" Who was now beginning to get annoyed.
"So where is this device Danny"
"I don't know" he muttered
"You don't know!" Jack was surprised
"I believe that it's somewhere behind this wall" Jack raised his eyebrows
"Well then let's blow it" he reached for his pack
"No Jack wait" Daniel said going defensive "Give me a few more minutes before blowing it up
"Fine"
Sure enough a few minutes later Jack was back c4 in his hand
"Ready?" Jack said eager to blow something up
"Fine Jack do your thing, blow up a 1000 year old text
"Excellent" Jack said in his Mr Burns voice
"Fire in the hole!" Jack shouted before pushing the trigger and blowing the wall to smithereens. As the debris and dust cleared Jack looked over at Carter, who immediately started doing scans everywhere.
"It's clear" and at that Daniel was off immediately searching for more ancient texts
"Sam here it is" Sam placed her equipment down and went towards Daniel
"Teal'c we've got something, we'll be out in 5" Jack called through his radio
""Okay O'Neill"Teal'c's voice echoed through the radio as Sam reached the device, Daniel went to put a hand on it the device
"Daniel don't" Jack called over to where Daniel and Sam where standing, but Danny ignored Jack completely and put his hand on the box, as the device started glowing
"Damnit Daniel! Jack shouted as the device started gathering power
"Teal'c, we've got a problem, we've found the device and well Daniel made it glow"
"Are you ok O'Neill?"
"Yeah we're all fine" and suddenly a beam hit each member of SG1 including Teal'c who was outside got hit sending them flying outwards in a bright flash knocking them all unconscious.
Teal'c was the first to stir, he woke up next to a tree, he looked around and felt certain uneasiness and he lifted up his jacket and let his symbiot out. He smirked when he thought of the reaction on Colonel O'Neill's face if he saw, but then he noticed his symbiot was smaller than when he last saw it, he ran towards the river in a panic thinking something was terribly wrong as he collapsed to his knees beside the river bed he peered over and saw his reflection and staring back at him was Ry'ac, No wait not Ry'ac, it was himself , he was starring at himself when he was 20 years old, but he couldn't be then he looked at himself again but before he could look again he heard a scream, it sounded like a little girl.
"If I am 20 then MajorCarter should be young as well" Teal'c thought, and then he took off, at a fast run as he reached the temple entrance he saw Colonel O'Neill walking towards MajorCarter well he thought it was Colonel O'Neill, the boy, who looked 7 had short brown hair shrunken BDU'S just like Teal'c's and he had Chocolate coloured eyes…. it was defiantly Jack O'Neill, as Jack was walking slowly towards MajorCarter she looked over to Teal'c and Jack's attention went towards Teal'c and his tattoo
"Who the hell are you and cool tattoo?" Jack asked starring at Teal'c
"I am Teal'c, O'Neill do you not remember me?"
"No I don't know any of you"
"That is MajorCarter you are Colonel O'Neill, but where is DanielJackson?" Teal'c looked around the room
"Here!" Came a little squeak as Daniel emerged from the shadows he was wearing mini BDUs as well had short hair but longer that Jacks' and he also had shrunken glasses, as he walked out Jack looked at Teal'c.
"So you're Teal'c, Daniel and…." He looked at Carter
"Sam"
"And Sam" he repeated her name
"Only my mum calls Daniel when she's mad, so call me Danny" Danny said quietly
"Okay Danny" Jack said and Danny smiled
"I've never had a friend before?" he said to Jack rather scared to talk encase you do
"Well now ya do Danny" he ran up to Danny and grabbed his arm and ran out the room
"Let's go play" he shouted as he ran out the room with Danny
"O'Neill stop" Teal'c ordered as Jack ran out the room, he either ignored Teal'c or didn't hear him, Teal'c sighed and started to walk out the room but before he could he heard a small cry
"Don't leave me" she said a with a whimper, Teal'c walked over and crouched down to where Sam was crouched and offered his hand, she took It and leapt into his arms he carried her out the door and towards the river where he had to gain some control over one Colonel Jack O'Neill and Danny who had been "Brainwashed" by Jack
Meanwhile
"Come on Danny it'll be fun" Jack said to Danny who was starting to struggle
"I don't want to get into trouble" Danny said scared
"I'll take the rat Danny don't worry" Danny seemed to relax when Jack said that, as they reached closer, Danny noticed something slivering and went to reach closer
"Danny wait!" Suddenly Danny slipped and fell into the raging river
"Danny!" Jack shouted
"Jack I can't swim Help!"
"Don't worry Danny I'll get you" Jack outstretched his hand reach to Danny before he was swept away, but Jack also lost his footing and fell into the river and they were both swept away. Somehow during all the panic Jack managed to hold Danny up even though they weighed the same, Jack knew what to do because his brother had taught him how to survive situations like this, because his Dad often tried to drown him, as that thought went into his mind he pushed it out and he concentrated on keeping Danny alive. Even though Jack kept going under, he had to keep Danny alive
Back at the river
As Teal'c and Sam walked through the forest they heard a splash then a horrified shout
"Danny!" That was defiantly Jack
"Jack I can't swim Help!" and that was Danny. Teal'c put Sam down and ran towards the river. When he got there he saw Danny constantly being lifted up by Jack, and Jack getting pulled under while still holding Danny up until one time Jack didn't come up, and Danny this time went under and came back up again somehow Teal'c jumped in, but because of his size he didn't get swept away, but if he lost his footing he would surely be swept away as well, as he walked carefully but quickly through the river he grabbed Danny by the collar and plunged his hand under the water and pulled up an unconscious Jack he quickly got back to shore And found a cave he set Danny down and immediately went to help Jack he checked for a pulse and found a weak one, he stripped of Jacks wet BDUs and got him some new but extremely bigger ones on him, Jack was till unconscious, as Teal'c looked after Jack, Sam went to help Danny, she got Danny to do the same and he cuddled up against her and fell asleep
During the night Jack awoke dazed and confused, he croaked Danny's name and Teal'c walked over to Jack and looked down at his huddled form,
"Do not worry O'Neill, DannyJackson is safe and well" Danny had made Teal'c say his name like that. Jack looked over at the sleeping forms of Danny and Sam and relaxed knowing they were safe with Teal'c there
"I'm cold" Jack said shivering
"Indeed O'Neill, I believe you are sick because you saved Danny but nearly at the cost of your life
"Yeah but it's my fault anyway I shouldn't of made him go but then he saw something and he slipped and fell and he couldn't swim" those last words were talked out fast as Jack started a coughing fit, and that awoke Sam who, put her hand on Danny's head
"Teal'c he's got a fever" Sam said as Teal'c rubbed Jack's back and gave him another blanket, before Jack fell promptly asleep again. Teal'c walked over to Danny and placed his hand on his forehead, it was indeed warm
"Do they both have Pneumonia?" Teal'c' looked surprised at Sam wondering how a 7/8 year old knew what the word meant or how to pronounce it
"I believe Danny has the flu whereas O'Neill has Pneumonia, Danny has the symptoms of the flu whereas O'Neill has a temperature but is cold" As Teal'c explained the situation to Sam she gained a look of horror on her face, as that look appeared Teal'c felt some sort of sympathy for her she had no idea who these people were but she cared for the almost immediately. After the sympathy had passed Teal'c began to pack their things away,
"Where are we going? " Sam asked confused
"Home I believe O'Neill needs urgent medical attention and Danny needs a warm bed" Sam immediately after hearing this began to pack there thing away. After they both had packed there things Sam picked up as much as she could while Teal'c carried his and O'Neil's pack and carrying both sick boys. As they reached the gate Sam looked at the funny thing on her wrist, she took it off and handed it to Teal'c nodded and started dialling the gate, Sam looked at the gate in awe as the gate opened and Teal'c sent the code threw, Teal'c imagined that this was what MajorCarter was like when she first saw the gate when she was an adult, she looked at Teal'c and as Teal'c started to walk through the gate, Sam followed in step beside him
When they both reached the other side they were greeted by soldiers pointing guns at them, Sam whimpered again and hid behind Teal'c's leg
"Teal'c?" Came General George Hammond's reply through the microphone
"General Hammond, Colonel O'Neill and DanielJackson need immediate medical attention. As Sam made a connection with the names General Hammond ordered his men to stand down as a medical team rushed towards them all and one guy grabbed Sam and tried to get her on a gurney
"Teal'c! Uncle George! HELP!" General Hammond rushed into the gate room when he heard his name being called by the mini major
"Sammy? It's ok these men and women are here to help you, do you understand?" Sam understood and let the men put her on a gurney and rushed her of to the infirmary. Meanwhile Teal'c had his eyebrow raised in the usual manner
"Let's just say I've known Sam along time"
"Indeed General Hammond"
"Go to the Infirmary and get cleaned up we'll debrief in 2 hours" Teal'c bowed and left leaving George Hammond to gather his thoughts and follow Teal'c to see what his favourite team had done this time
Man did he hate Mondays
