"Finally something finished…" Daniel rubbed his face and placed the newly translated language in a folder.

"Daniel gotta second?" Daniel, looked over and saw O'Neill leaning against his door frame.

"As a matter of fact I have plenty, just finished that translation." He smiled, "What can I do for you?"

"Um well one, that's great that you finished that up." O'Neill smiled.

Daniel made a face and sighed, "Okay what did I do?"

"You didn't do anything really, it's just…" He swung his hand about trying to word it correctly; one could say he was reaching out to find the answer.

"Jack." Daniel watched him stop and look at him, "Just say what you have to say. I have a feeling it has to do with why Ms. Anderson is here, right?"

O'Neill nodded, "Yeah well I would've said it eventually."

"Ah I see…" Daniel sat down and picked up a pencil to fidget with.

"Look Daniel," He walked in and sat across from him, "It's honestly not you. The president just wants things to start coming in faster. I was only going to let this happen if they found someone good. Anna is good."

"She's also your niece, sort of." Daniel crossed his arms.

"That had nothing to do with it, Daniel and you know it." O'Neill couldn't believe that he was hearing this from above all people Daniel. This wasn't like him, "She's been figuring out things since she was little. Puzzles and stuff. She sees things that people miss, things that we over look." He tapped the folder in front of Daniel.

"That was lucky." Daniel pulled the folder away from him.

"No Daniel she's been trained to see these things! She went to college for the same things you did and she's gotten nearly the same marks as you. The only thing she needs now is a person who will help learn what to expect out in the field." He stared at Daniel.

Daniel shrugged and took a deep breath, "And you want me to do this why?"

"Because, she's going to be doing the same thing you do with SG-1 only on a different team." He stated flatly, "Daniel she's working on the same project as you, why does it bug you so much?"

"It doesn't bug me, what bugs me is you didn't tell me about any of this!" Daniel stood and paced back and forth. He didn't know why he was angry. He shouldn't be it was obvious that this Anna had a lot of talent in translating, figuring out artifacts and languages.

It was the way she looked at his notes. Her fierce brown eyes delved into them as if she wrote them. It unnerved him that someone could learn so quickly what took him years to figure out.

"Well Daniel I'm sorry it was kind of thrust upon me and I had to make a decision quick, besides you off world anyways and I couldn't just call up." O'Neill stood up deciding it was best he leave before he wanted to punch Daniel rather then give him orders. If only he didn't wear glasses that day.

He sighed, "Its not you…I'm sorry…"

"Well if you think that then show it, be nicer, to everyone. You've been kinda on edge lately. Get some sleep, maybe even go outside, on Earth, catch a movie. Something, I don't know?" O'Neill was by the door, "I'll give you your assignment tomorrow and I want to know what that translation says too, night." He waved and walked off.

"Night." Daniel sat down and started putting things away. Maybe Jack was right. Maybe he did need a little break.

Moments later he was walking toward the exit of the facility, when the sound of music reached his ears. He peeked inside a door and saw Anna sitting clicking on a computer. The office was pretty empty nothing like his massive clutter box. It was different. He decided to take Jack's advice and try to be nice.

"You're still here?" Daniel spoke over the music that gently playing on the speakers.

She winced at the sound of his voice, "Uh yeah… I don't have a home yet." She looked at him, "Tell you the truth I thought this was just going to be an interview, not a job acceptance on the spot."

Daniel nodded, "Well I'm sure Jack has set you up with something here if not, I'm sure you can ask someone here and they can set you up with a bunk."

Anna smiled, "Thanks." Another moment of silence passed by again between them.

"Well goodnight Ms. Anderson." Daniel turned to leave.

"Dr. Jackson!" He stopped and looked back her, she'd turned on her chair and faced him, "I wanted to apologize to you."

"For what?" He tilted his head to the side looking at her.

"For earlier, I shouldn't have looked at your notes, and I shouldn't have interrupted you with your translation. I have a tendency just to do things." She looked at her hands as if they were a curse, "My hands have a mind of there own sometimes when they know I can learn something new. It just happens, I'm really very sorry."

This didn't make Daniel feel any better for some reason, "Well try harder, night!" He left out into the hall.

"Excuse me!" She followed him, "That was rude!"

He turned around, "You wanna talk rude! Rude is going through people's stuff before you've even met them!"

"And I apologized for it!" She snapped back, "And I will try harder to refrain from my bad habit, but that does not constitute you to be able to be mean to me after I was trying to amend something that I KNOW, I did wrong."

They were both glaring daggers into each others eyes. Daniel was infuriated and wanted to say some nasty things, if Jack hadn't stepped in at that moment, "Kids, are we playing nice?"

"No we're not," Anna started, "but we have come to the agreement that we don't like each other's company, isn't that right Dr. Jackson?"

"I never said that!" Daniel protested.

"You might as well!" She shouted.

"Hey, hey!" Jack shouted, "Enough! You two are working with each other end of story."

They both looked at Jack with shock of his demand.

Anna looked back at Daniel, "Good night Dr. Jackson." She turned on her heels and walked back into her new office.

Daniel said nothing, but watched her walk away secretly wishing she would trip. She didn't, but Jack had pulled him down the hall.

"What was that? Tell me what I just saw!?" He looked at Daniel with a penetrating stare.

Daniel stood there not saying anything. He needed to get out of here and quickly.

"I've never seen you like this before! What's wrong?" He asked Daniel again.

"She…" He started but stopped not wanting to do this right now, "Can I just go home?"

"If you leave your issues at home." Jack told him, "I'm not asking you to like her, I'm just asking you to work with her, like any other job would make you do."

"Right, I got it." Daniel felt like he was in a principal's office.

"I don't think you do, but promise me you'll behave, now if you'll excuse me I have to have the same discussion with her." Jack left Daniel standing in the hall alone.

He highly doubted that Jack would be giving the same speech to his niece.

"God, why am I thinking this? Jack will treat just like anyone else." Daniel left the facility with that thought and wrestled through the night trying to believe it.

See more Daniel, but uh oh...he doesn't like Anna whatever will they do? Find out next time! Please review!
