Hey hey hey! Guess what it's chapter four! TADA!!!!! I must say this is just a filler again, and I'm really sorry...but I promise you that there will be some action in the next chapter!
Dis. I own nothing except Anna!
Anna had been awarded in the morning with a new SG uniform. Her first initial reaction was, "Its mighty green." She shrugged that off and put it on nodding as she looked at the mirror in the room she was staying in, "Not bad, I can get used of this." She swept her hair into a small ponytail. It was a military regulation that you either cut your hair or put it up. She opted for the latter.
She left her room around 8 in the morning and grabbed a cup of coffee from the mess. From there she started walking toward her new work area. She'd never seen so much space before and until her stuff arrived it was going to continue to look like an empty room.
She turned down a hall and stopped. She realized that the only way to get to her office was to pass Dr. Jackson's office. She didn't have the patients for him this morning.
Then she remembered the discussion she had had with Jack the night before.
"Daniel is just afraid I think." He told her.
"Why? He's a brilliant mind, he has nothing to worry about." She stated blankly.
"I know that, you know that, everyone else knows that, but sometimes Daniel doesn't think so." Jack sat down, "I think he's just threatened by you, or at least that's what Teal'c has told me and I trust him."
"By what? I barely know anything." She rolled her eyes, "If he'd give me half a chance he'd realize that I think him a genius for figure out all these languages, and gadgets."
"It's your ability to learn quickly that scares him." He stared at her.
"What? That has nothing…"
"It has everything to do with it." He stopped her, "You translated something in a matter of minutes that he worked on for years and got ridiculed for."
"Ah…" She suddenly understood why he was so aggressive and defensive, "That wasn't my intention at all."
She nodded to herself looking down that hall, "Not at all."
She walked confidently down the hall, and peered into his office as she passed. No one was there; she let out a soft side. This isn't how she wanted to start off working here, getting one of the head honchos bad sides.
She turned the corner, "Are you relieved that Daniel Jackson is not yet in?"
She jumped, "Ohmygoodness…wear a bell or something…" She grabbed her chest her heart was racing.
Teal'c smiled, "It was not my intention to scare you , Anna Anderson."
Anna smiled up at Teal'c, "Just call me Anna please."
"Anna it would appear that you have yet to answer my question." Teal'c nodded.
"Did General O' Neill send you?" She looked at him questioningly.
"No O'Neill did not request me to speak with you, I am here simply because I wish for you to know that Daniel Jackson is good man and warrior." Teal'c explained.
"Oh…well I've taken that into consideration. Thank you." She stood there waiting for Teal'c to move out of the way, "Is there anything else you needed Teal'c?"
"O'Neill did request that I show you around the base, but I wish to speak to you further on the matter of Daniel Jackson." He stated firmly.
"Okay…what do you need to know?" She was slightly afraid of this burly man in front of him.
"Could we continue this in your office?" He tilted his head questioning.
She nodded and scooted past him, "Oh yes of course we can."
He smiled and followed her into her office. She set down her coffee and sat down, "Please sit down." Teal'c sat across from her, "So what needs to be further discussed?"
"It seems that you and Daniel do not wish to get along." He started.
"That is not true, I would gladly get along with him." She protested.
"You do not have an issue with him?" Teal'c asked raising an eye brow.
"The only issue I have with Dr. Jackson is that he's a bit jumpy to conclusions, and needs to listen just a little." She smiled, "Now what I've heard about him he can listen very well and jumping to conclusions is not like him, so I'm being lenient with him, I guess you could say."
"So the problem lies with him." He seemed to be in deep thought.
"I wouldn't say it just lies with him, I have a fair share of tendencies that could drive him insane. I probably need deal with them, and you should know by now from being around General O'Neill that he holds grudges forever, well I get that from him." She smiled, "So for the time being I do have a sore spot with the good doctor."
"You are very confusing to me Ms. Anna." Teal'c told her without feeling guilty.
She laughed, "Well I hope you'll get used of it, if not you should tell me, could be my biggest fall."
"I will do that." He nodded silently.
"So does that ease your mind a bit about me and Dr. Jackson?" She asked hoping that is was.
"Yes, I feel that I sufficiently understand your feelings toward Daniel Jackson." He smiled softly.
"Great! I'd really like that tour now!" She jumped up, "That is if you're not busy."
"Currently I am not." He stood and began the tour of the base.
They went everywhere; Teal'c noted everything that she should really remember, such as the infirmary, weaponry, training room etc… Everything else was not as important. Twenty minutes later he finally presented her with what she really wanted to see.
"And this is…"
"The Stargate." She finished his sentence. It was much larger then she thought it would be, "It's incredible, can I get closer?"
Teal'c looked up to the gate control room; they smiled and nodded, "We are currently not expecting anyone for a while."
She smiled and walked up the grated platform toward the gate. Her hands started to shake with apprehension just to touch it.
She reached out and touched the gate tentatively with her fingertips. They brushed the cold metal as she stared at the symbols. It was extravagant.
Daniel walked down the hall toward Jack's office. He hadn't slept all night and he definitely looked it.
He passed the gate room and glanced in, bringing himself to a halt, when he saw Teal'c and Anna. He watched as Anna's reaction turned from happy to ecstatic as she walked toward the gate. She was in awe, looking up and down its structure.
Daniel smiled. He found something in common with her. Every time he looked at the gate he remembered when he first saw it.
He shook his head and started walking in the direction he was first headed. He knocked on Jack's door, "Enter!"
"Jack? Are you busy?" Daniel stuck his head in.
"Not at all please come in, need to talk to you anyways." Jack leaned back in his chair. Daniel sat in a chair and handed Jack a folder, "Ah the translation."
"Yeah, I went over it again to make sure I did it right, it talks about a device that must be cautioned." Daniel told him.
"And it's on the planet you found this inscription right?" Jack looked up from the translation.
"Well no it doesn't exactly say where it is but I would assume that it is somewhere near the inscription." Daniel explained taking off his glasses.
"You just wanted to go back didn't you?" Jack looked at Daniel and put the folder on his desk.
"No!" Daniel began to protest.
"Daniel, don't give me that I know you too well." Jack smirked, "I'll let you know when you're going back."
"Right." Daniel smiled. It was true everyone did know him to well. Or at least well enough to know that he loved staying longer anywhere then anyone else.
"Now as for your present orders." Daniel looked up at Jack. That was right he was getting orders to help Anna out.
"As I briefly mentioned last night, I want you to explain to Anna what she'll be experiencing. Eventually you're going to take on a mission with you." Jack stopped.
"Okay, so what do you want me to tell her?" Daniel looked at him, "I'm not exactly certified to teach her how to fire a gun."
"Oh don't worry she knows that already, I was thinking along the lines of the rules and culture stuff." Jack explained.
"Oh I see, um I think I can handle that." Daniel nodded, "When is my next mission by the way? So I can know if I'll be able to take her."
"It's in a few days; I think you'll be able to take her. SG-12's been there a while said they found some ruins. Once you get back from that I'll send you back to PQX-610 to find that thing, whatever it is." Jack nodded, "Alright you might want to get started, I'm sure there's a lot to tell her."
"Right, I'll go do that." Daniel raised his eyebrows, stood and opened the door.
"And Danny, be nice." He closed the door on Jack and started down the hall.
Tada! I hope you liked it! Please review! Thanks!
