Chapter 5

Everyone was sitting in the VIP room waiting for Janet to show up with the test results. Sam, Daniel and Teal'c had sat down together, Hannah had taken a seat on her own in the corner and Danielle was sitting with Jack.

"Why is she like that?" Jack asked Danielle as he glanced over to Hannah.

"I don't know, she's always been that way at least as far as I can remember, she grew up in a war zone though so maybe that's why"

"But so did you and you're not like that"

"Hannah was born during the worst part of it, for the first eight years of her life all she knew was the war, I was born toward the end of that period but I was too young t remember. Unfortunately Hannah has a damn good memory and she remembers it all vividly, I guess when you grow up knowing only war you don't come out of it so well" Danielle explained sounding far wiser than her age would suggest.

"Hasn't anyone tried to tell her she doesn't have to be like this?"

"Mom, Dad, me, you, Teal'c and even General Hammond tried to reach out to her, she wouldn't listen to any of us."

"What about you?" Jack asked "The war had to have affected you as well"

"Like I said I was too young to remember much about the war at its worst and whilst I was growing up we had an advantage over the Goa'uld, we almost seemed to be winning so things were a lot quieter and a lot easier for me growing up. I was only a few months ago that things got really bad again, we became such a nuisance to the Goa'uld that the system Lords put aside their differences to get rid of us. They attacked earth ruthlessly and when they located the stargate the mountain was bombarded from space for several hours before they sent the Jaffa in to kill us all. Mom and Dad tried to get us through the gate to the alpha site but it was too late, we were cut off"

"So how did you get here?"

"We found a device on another planet that could access alternate realities, kind of like the mirror only it didn't need a device at the other side. It could just drop you anywhere you wanted it too. Mom and Dad were both killed trying to get us to the device but Hannah got us there and accessed this reality"

"You're parents were killed in front of you?"

"Yeah" Danielle said looking down at the floor.

The sound of the door opening interrupted their discussion and everyone looked around to see Janet walk in with General Hammond.

"DNA tests confirm it" she said looking at Daniel "They are our daughter's from an alternate reality"

"So the question is what do we do now?" Jack said.
