The Pro Plus has gone into a drawer, that's right, exams are over…blissful amounts of free time and sleep patterns that don't resemble an insomniac's are mine!! Anyway, I can now actually spend more than ten minutes at a time writing so I can get some more chapters done!!
So, a big thank you to Naliza, who once again offered her wonderful betaing skills!!!
Stargate isn't mine, neither are the characters, I'm just messing with their heads for a little while and will do my level best to put them back together before I send them back out into the world (or should that be galaxy), they could be considered dangerous in their current states!! ;-D
Janet froze for a moment. She was not sure what to make of Daniel kissing her and especially the fact that it was definitely not a chaste peck on the cheek.
Once Janet got her head around what was happening, or as close to it as was possible, she pulled away from Daniel, put her hands on his chest and pushed him away slightly.
"Daniel, what are you doing?" she asked, standing and edging towards the door.
"What I've wanted to do for a long time," he explained as though it was a massive relief.
"Daniel, this isn't you," Janet stressed.
"Oh yes it is. This is very much me, just a different me."
He stood and started to approach Janet, she nervously reached for the door handle but Daniel's superior reflexes blocked her before she could open the door. He leaned in to try and kiss her again.
"Sorry Daniel," she apologised. Before he could react she brought up her knee, right into his groin. He immediately dropped to the floor, groaning quietly as he curled himself up. Janet ran out into the corridor, shutting the door behind her. She called for a security team and while she waited she leant back against the wall, trying to catch her breath.
When the SF's arrived Janet once again appeared to be the picture of professionalism. She briefly explained the situation but tactfully left out Daniel's amorous actions. She did not particularly want the entire base knowing what had happened, especially since she would swear that some of the SF's were almost as big gossips as the nurses - almost but not quite.
With sentries posted she went to Hammond's office to bring him up to date with the latest developments. With everything that had happened she had almost forgotten about what she had learned only recently.
"Sir, there's been a change with Doctor Jackson," she said as she sat down across from Hammond.
"What kind of change?" Hammond asked, his attention immediately drawn away from the less than thrilling budget report he was working on.
"I was talking to him when he suddenly changed, almost like I was talking to a different person. It was Daniel but at the same time it wasn't."
"Was he violent in any way?" Hammond asked with genuine concern.
"No, not really."
"Doctor?"
"He…he kissed me Sir."
Hammond paused, his mouth open slightly as he realised just what Janet had said, his previously planned sentence died on his lips.
"Right, are you okay?"
"I'm fine Sir, thank you."
"And Doctor Jackson?"
"No lasting damage," Janet replied sheepishly. As Hammond raised his eyebrows she felt compelled to continue. "He came towards me again so I…kneed him in the groin."
As a reflex Hammond winced although he realised that Janet had been totally justified in her actions. Despite the fact that Daniel could still be pegged as a geeky archaeologist he was much stronger than the petite doctor.
He had also seen the damage O'Neill had done to Carter, heard how she had pulled a gun on Daniel, both things he would not have thought possible yesterday. And now Dr Jackson was making advances towards his CMO, this was a seriously messed up situation he realised with a sigh.
"Any news on what's causing this?"
"Possibly Sir. I've found small black spots on all of their CAT scans. They seem to be in slightly different areas of the brain, which is probably why I didn't pick up on it before now. I want to run some more tests which is why I went to see Daniel," she explained. Hammond realised the Doctor's dilemma; all three members of SG-1 had displayed some violent or otherwise disturbing behaviour and were now under armed guard.
"Whoever you think is best Doctor," Hammond gave his permission, allowing her the choice of which member of SG-1 to approach for further testing. Janet sighed slightly as she pondered her options since none were particularly appealing.
"I suppose Doctor Jackson then. Overall he has been the least violent and also has had the most recent 'episode' that we're aware of."
"Make sure you have a guard with you at all times. Or if you'd rather, I'm sure Doctor Warner will be able to take over the care of SG-1."
"It's fine Sir, I'd like to follow this through."
"Okay, keep me apprised."
"Yes Sir." Janet stood and left the office. She only stopped for a cup of coffee before going to Daniel's quarters, she definitely needed caffeine if she was going to face him.
Two guards were standing stiffly by the door when she arrived, on seeing her one of them swiped a pass card through the reader and the door lock clicked open. He opened the door slightly and entered, seeing that Daniel was laying curled up on the bed, he waved the doctor in.
"Daniel?" she called, not wanting to approach him.
He rolled over, looking decidedly uncomfortable.
"What happened?"
"You don't remember?"
"What'd I do?" he asked with a sigh, resigned to the fact that something bad had happened. "And who…" he trailed off, not knowing how to phrase the question politely.
"Yeah, that would be me," Janet admitted.
"You?" he asked, taken aback. "Are you okay? I didn't hurt you did I?"
"No. You um…you kissed me," Janet admitted with definite reluctance in her voice.
She sensed a reaction from the guard behind her and grimaced as she realised that particular titbit of information would be around the base within an hour. Daniel looked shocked and decidedly embarrassed at the news.
"Janet, I'm so sorry. I don't remember anything. I remember talking to you, then the next thing I found myself on the floor, feeling…sore."
"It's okay Daniel, I know it wasn't you," she shuddered slightly as she recalled what he had said right before he kissed her. She wanted to talk to him about it but she was not willing to risk any more embarrassment for either of them right now.
"You said something about having a theory right? I do remember that much."
Yeah, I want to run some further tests."
"Of course, whatever you need. Just as long as this all stops."
"Hopefully. Why don't we get started."
Daniel stood, albeit stiffly and followed Janet and the SF out of the room. They walked to the infirmary, Daniel flanked by the guards, meaning that if for some strange reason there was still someone on the base who did not know that SG-1 were currently loosing it, beating each other up and constantly under armed guard, they would now.
Janet had barely begun to examine Daniel when one of the nurses called her away.
"Doctor, you're needed down in the holding cells."
"What happened?"
"I'm not sure, apparently it's something to do with Colonel O'Neill."
I know it's slightly shorter than normal and has absolutely no Sam or Jack but I promise, or at least fully intend to, write a nice long chapter with lots of Sam and Jack to make up for it, expect a nice uncomfortable meeting!!
So please review and let me know what you think!!
