Chapter Four: Strange?
All three of them turned around.
Daniel! Sam exclaimed happily. She moved forward to hug him but Daniel stepped back.
Daniel Jackson, what is wrong? Teal'c asked him, noticing something was off about the young archeologist.
Everything's wrong. Especially about me. You should head back. There are better things that you need to take care of.
What better things?
Daniel rolled his eyes. Saving the world. The life of one isn't worth the safety of the entire planet, Jack.
The world doesn't need saving at this moment, Daniel. Plus you're our friend and that's reason enough to save your ass.
Is it really? Daniel said lightly as he turned away. He began heading toward the decrepit tower.
Oh, where you're going, Daniel? Jack asked as they caught up with him.
Where I've lived for the past years. It's my home now.
Jack looked at the tower then back at Daniel. Right. That doesn't look like a good home for you. I know you like old things but that's kind of over the top, even for you. Daniel just shrugged and continued walking. On reflex, Jack caught the end of the white cotton top, fingers digging to the bandana that was wrapped around Daniel's neck.
That was when it registered.
Daniel was dressed like an archeologist.
One in his twenties.
Daniel's hair looked exactly like the same style he had when he came to Cheyenne for the first time. Daniel?
Yes, Jack?
Teac
What's up with your clothes?
Daniel rolled his eyes. It's who I am, remember? Before the SGC and before I ruined my career, I was an archeologist. Daniel walked off again and disappeared behind a crumbling wall.
Shaking off his shock, Jack followed, Teal'c and Sam following closely on his heels. The colonel turned around the corner without looking. He landed on the ground with an oomph.
Watch where the fuck you're going. A voice snarled.
Sam's eyes were wide. Daniel?
What?
Jack looked up to see Daniel but some how he had changed drastically.
He was now wearing black BDUs, his hand near his Beretta on his thigh. He was glaring down at the colonel, his glasses absent. Maybe he's wearing contacts. Jack thought. He got up, brushing off dirt off of his pants. How did you change so fast?
What the fuck do you mean? I've been wearing the same BDUs.
Okay, somewhere along the way, you've gotten an attitude.
You don't complain when I'm dealing with snakes.
Well that's because you're insulting the snakes not us.
It seems Daniel Jackson is not himself. Teal'c stated.
That earned him a glare. I'm perfectly fine, Teal'c.
Daniel, you've cursed more in the last two minutes then the last four years. Sam pointed out. Perhaps you would like Janet to check you over?
Daniel crossed his arms. And exactly what the fuck is that going to do? Just because I curse and all of you think something's wrong with me. Going to dump me back into the cell for the insane?
Sam gasped. No, Daniel. We would never do that again.
Jack laid a hand on Daniel's shoulders. Just come with us and let Napoleon check you over.
Daniel snarled and threw Jack's hand off of him. No.
Daniel, don't be thick headed. The colonel reach for him again.
Daniel grasped the arm and pulled Jack closer, bending his arm behind his back. Don't fucking touch me. Jack slammed his head back as Teal'c moved in to help. Daniel released Jack and stepped back as Teal'c got closer.
Daniel Jackson, it would be wise if you come willingly. We have no wish to hurt you.
Bullshit. Daniel withdrew the gun and aimed it at Jack, shooting one off.
Spyridon- Bad Daniel. Bad bad. Well then again I have a reason. Yes I know it's been forever since I last updated but recession, college, exams, work, studying, etc etc have taken my time. And plus the fact that I'm mostly working on my stories for Power Rangers. But I'm trying to get this done. Hope you like. You might even see more of Angry, Cursing Daniel. Or Digging in the Dirt Daniel. Depends on my mood. Check out my profile for updates and you can see my pictures on the devianART link on the profile too. Got a drawing of the episode Heroes on there too. On the board too is another story. More consequences of what happened in Dangerous Game. The danny whumping I'm doing all of a sudden, I'm blaming on Phoenix Cry. Seriously, too much reading of her stories.
And leave a review! I would like to know if people are still interested!
