Chapter 3

Daniel sat next to Janet on her bed in the infirmary, Jack, Sam and Teal'c were sitting on the chairs nearby. They had all been cleared by Dr Warner, apparently whatever Janet had wasn't contagious.

Dr Warner walked into the infirmary "I know where the chemical came from"

"Where?"

"Remember the cloud"

"Yeah" Janet said sarcastically.

"The water that you and Major Carter almost drowned in contains the same chemical that's in your blood"

"But if it was the water shouldn't I be infected to?" Sam asked.

"That's what I thought so I ran a few tests and it looks like the protein marker left behind by Jolinar protected you"

"Can't we use that, I mean we did it before with Machello's bug things?" Jack asked.

"I'm afraid not Colonel, my tests show that the protein marker only prevented the chemical from multiplying in her system and because the trace were so minute it was able to wash out of her system. In Dr Frasier's case I'm afraid it's already to late for that"

"If Emani wasn't already dead I'd kill her"

"Is there anything else we can do to reverse the damage?"

"I don't know"

Jack suddenly stood up and walked out of the infirmary "Jack where are you going?" Sam shouted as she and Teal'c got up to go after him.

"To talk to Hammond"

"It'll be okay" Daniel said to Janet as Warner left.

"Let's hope" Daniel tightened his arms around Janet and she leant hr head against his shoulder.

"I love you" he said to her quietly as he planted a gentle kiss on her hair.

"I love you too"

"Sir, we can't just sit here and do nothing, if we go back to Tempsons lab on that planet we may be able to find something that could help us. He was Emani's brother after all, they came from the same planet"

"Permission granted"

"Thank you sir and I suggest we leave Daniel here, he seems to be the only one that can keep Janet calm at the moment"

"Agreed"

"Hey guys" Jack said as he, Sam and Teal'c walked into the infirmary.

"Where are you going?" Daniel asked realising they were all geared up.

"Back to Tempson's lab on the virus planet to see if we can find anything useful"

"I thought we already cleared that place out" Janet said quietly.

"It's worth a second look, besides the people there might know something about Tempson, like gate coordinates to his home world" Sam explained.

"You're staying here" Jack said to Daniel.

"Okay, be careful"

"We will"

"We have to go, take it easy okay. We'll be back as soon as we can"

The three members of Sg1 walked out of the infirmary and headed quickly to the gate room in silence.

"Let's get this done quickly" Jack said as he saw the stargate engage.

"SG1 you have a go" Hammonds voice came over the intercom.

Jack stepped out of the stargate onto P3X 425 otherwise known as the virus planet. He looked around him at thought back to the last time he had been here. He had gone through some of the worst experiences of his life on this planet. Sam and Daniel had both been infected with a virus that was quickly wiping out the population of the planet. They had suffered horrifically and he, Janet and Teal'c had been there every step of the way to see it.

However one of the best experiences of his life had also occurred on this planet, here he had finally confesses his true feelings to Sam and she done the same. This was where his relationship with her had truly begun.

"Okay let's go straight to Tempsons lab, I'd prefer not to disturb the locals unless we have to"

The three members of SG1 made their way into the forest and toward where they had been told Tempson's lab was. None of them had been there before and as such had to follow the directions they had been given. They headed through the trees until Jack saw the cave Tempson's lab was suppose to be in. He walked inside and saw a wooden door which he walked through into the lab.

"I guess this is the place"

"Janet was right, I think they cleared everything out of here" Sam said looking around the empty room. All that remained now were a few pieces of equipment and furniture.

"Alright let's take a look around anyway, it shouldn't take long and then we'll head to the village"

After spending half an hour looking around what was left of the lab they had fond nothing. The three of them headed toward the village and as they walked out of the trees they could see very little had changed. They walked through the Village and it was obvious from the looks on people faces that most of them remembered them. A familiar looking man walked out of one of the buildings and it took a moment to place who he was.

"Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter, Teal'c, we did not expect to see you again"

"Dalton" Jack said

"What brings you back?"

"Dr Frasier is sick, do you remember Professor Tempson?" Sam asked.

"Of course, it is hard to forget a man who caused the deaths of so many of our people"

"Well we believe that his sister is responsible for what's happened to Dr Frasier"

"You speak of Emani?"

"You know her?" Jack asked.

"Yes, she came to the village several days after you left in search of her brother. We told her what her brother had done and that he was dead. She became angry and violent and we were forced to tell her the circumstances in which he died"

"You wouldn't happen to know the gate coordinates to her home world would you?"

"Actually yes I do, she forced me to walk to the gate with her as I told her about her brothers fate, I saw the coordinates"

"Think you could show us"

"We owe you and your people a great debt for what you did for us, anything I can do to help Dr Frasier I will surely do"

"Thank you"

There was no way Janet could push herself further into the corner if she tried Daniel thought as he watched his fiancée crouched down in the corner of the room. The hallucinations had started almost half an hour ago and they had been forced to move her into an isolation room. They hadn't been that bad when they had first started but now whatever she was seeing was terrifying her.

The doctors who tried to approach her generally got hit or pushed away, Janet seemed positive they were going to hurt her. Daniel had been told to stay back and he had done as he was asked, however there was only so long he could watch this and do nothing.

"Janet" Daniel said quietly as he approached her. She looked at him with a fear in her eyes Daniel had never seen before as she tried once again to back further into the corner. "It's okay I'm not going to hurt you"

Daniel could hear the protests coming from behind him but he ignored them and focussed on Janet as he knelt down in front of her. She hadn't pushed him away yet or hit him and he ad gotten closer than anyone else so far. Janet looked terrified and Daniel could hear how shaky her breathing had become, it broke his heart to see her like this.

"Daniel" Janet said, her voice sounding broken.

"That's right, it's me"

Janet started crying and Daniel took her into his arms and held her tightly "It's okay" he whispered quietly to her as he kissed the top of her head. Everyone behind him seemed to relax a little as they realised Janet was once again coherent and Daniel sent out a silent prayer for the others to hurry.

Authors Note: For anyone who hasn't read virus and the cloud or anyone who just forgot. Tempson was the psycho doctor from virus who created the virus which almost killed Sam and Daniel and then tried to kill the others. Jack shot him though so justice was served.

Emani was his sister who turned up in the cloud and trapped Sam and Janet in some underground caves with a load of monsters and booby traps, including a room which sealed shut and filled with water almost drowning the both of them. She then kidnapped Janet and tried to kill her, don't worry she got shot too.

Finally Dalton was the village doctor in Virus who told Jack about the virus just after Sam collapsed.
