Anna cringed at the lights around her. Her head was pounding and then there was this insistent beeping noise that wouldn't stop. She blinked several times and started to remember things.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." She looked to her side and saw Jack seating there folding up a newspapers, "Well really it's the afternoon, but I don't think that matters when you're 20 to 30 floors underground."

She smiled, "You always know how to make a girl smile don't you?"

He stood and looked down at her, "Well I am a ladies man."

"Okay the conversation just got a little creepy." She smiled, "You're my uncle, and I don't want to think about you being a ladies man."

"A well…" His face became a little more serious, "But seriously how are you feeling?"

"Well I'll be honest with you," She frowned, "I have a huge headache and I'm not sure other then that."

"Okay well the doctor said that you can go after a few more tests that he couldn't do while you were asleep." Jack explained to her.

She nodded feeling slightly better now that she had talked to her favorite uncle. Her only uncle really, both her parents were only children.

"Alright, well I'm gonna let you rest and stuff, you should be out of here soon." He told her, "Ya know duty calls and such."

"Right!" She mock saluted and watched him walk out the door with a wave.

It wasn't long until the doctor came in and finished up the tests and she was back in her office looking at her massive clutter.

She sighed. She wasn't gone that long, just maybe three days, but it felt like eternity. She had really started to accept this as home.

"Knock, knock." She turned around and saw Sam.

"Hey, how's it going?" Anna asked her.

Sam walked in hands behind her back, "I'm doing fine, and you?"

"I'm alright, a little sore, but alright." She smiled, "What can I do for you?"

"Well actually I was sent by the General." She smiled and brought her hands out from behind her back. She was holding a bowl of blue jello, "With this, he said he owed it to you?"

Anna laughed and took the jello from Sam, "Yes he does!"

"Do I want to know?" Sam raised an eyebrow.

"No, long story really." She put the jello on her desk.

"Right…"

There was a little bit of silence between the two of them, "Jack sent you to talk to me about what happened didn't he."

"Yeah, he's just worried that you won't talk to anyone." Sam explained, "We've all been there, so, you can talk to us anytime."

"Thanks, but I'm not sure what happened yet." Anna leaned against the desk and crossed her arms.

"What do you mean?" Curious to be in a intellectual conversation Sam made herself comfortable.

"Well it's just…so…surreal, like it didn't happen. Everything feels very dreamlike and spacey." She tried to explain.

"You should talk to Daniel he's an expert when it comes to that feeling." Sam smiled, "I just dealt with the pain. However if you ever find yourself in the situation of having someone else's memories I'm your gal."

Anna stared at her unsure of what to say. She felt very repetitive talking to everyone, just saying thank you left and right.

"So, if you need anything just don't hesitate to ask." Sam smiled and made her way out.

Honestly, Anna didn't know what to make of things. She didn't know how to explain how she felt about anything.

She did know that she wanted to talk to Daniel. He's the only one who hadn't pestered her about what happened. Even Teal'c had come to check on her while she was in the infirmary.

She wondered what he was doing right now.

"Jack, you can't seriously…"

"Ah ah ah, less talking, more scrubbing." Jack stood watching Daniel scrub the locker room showers with a tooth brush. His arm would be sore for a week and he'd never be able to look at these showers without remembering what he did. Maybe he'd actually listen to Jack from now on, "Have fun, I'll be back in a half hour with a new tooth brush."

Daniel gave a heavy sigh that Jack accepted with delight as he walked out.

He bounded around the corner and bumped right into Anna, "Oh! Hey how you doing kiddo?"

"Stop asking." She smiled.

"Right got it. Did you get my gift?" He smiled.

"Yes and it was exactly what I needed, thank you." Anna smiled and looked down at her feet.

"Hey." She looked up at him and he pulled her into a very father-like hug, "its okay."

She sighed, "I know. I'm just trying to figure things out…right now…"

"You wanna talk over dinner? My treat." He smiled.

"Actually I need to talk to Daniel about some things, have you seen him? He's not in his office." She asked him.

Jack gave a small laugh, "Ah yeah he's busy now, in the locker room, but if you need to talk to him go see him."

"What's funny?" She smiled questioningly wondering if she really wanted to know.

"Well lets just say he might listen more often. Have fun!" Jack let out an evil laughter and walked down the hall.

Anna shook her head, Jack never stopped confusing people. She continued down the hall to the locker room. Opening the door slowly she peeked in to make sure that she wasn't just barging in.

All she could see was Daniel bent over on the floor, "Daniel? Are you alright?"

He shot up, "Anna!"

"That's me, what are you doing?" She stood in front of him.

"Ah well," He held up a blue tooth brush, "punishment?"

"Jack?"

"Yeah…for going to get you." Daniel sighed, "I told him it was worth it, but that just made it worse and he added not just one locker room shower but all the showers."

"I can fix that." She grabbed the tooth brush from his hand and set it on the floor, "Watch and learn."

"Oh please teach me wise one." Daniel smiled.

Anna proceeded to step on the tooth brush making the bristles go flat, "There you go."

Daniel picked it up off the floor, "I don't see how this fixes anything."

"Oh that's only step one." She said as she walked to her locker and pulled out shower cleaner, "Jack used to make me do this all the time when I was little and my mom taught me to do this." She handed the bottle to him, "Spray that on the shower walls and they be clean in ten minutes and it'll look like you did all on your own."

"Why do you have this?" Daniel stared at her.

"Are you kidding? Firstly we go to different planets! Secondly, eww, why not?" She smiled and sat on the bench.

"Right." He stood and started to spray the cleaner on the walls, "So how's the head?"

"It hurts, but I've felt worse."

"Yeah I always had a major headache for a few days after something like that." He blinked getting some spray back into his eyes, "Ouch…."

"Nice one ace." She smirked.

"Yeah thanks for the support." He rubbed his eye with a hand.

She laughed, "Hey, Daniel, can we talk?"

"I thought that's what we were doing?" He stuck his head out of a shower and looked at her. She had a very serious expression on her face, "Yeah sure." He stopped spraying the cleaner and sat down next to her.

"Um when the Goa'uld used the hand device on you…well one time they made you relive memories, or they created memories, right?" She sounded nervous to him.

"Yes, sometimes they combined technology to allow them to manipulate our memories. And other times the host can connect to the mind to transmit feelings our thoughts." He said remembering Shua'rai.

"Okay but can it just occur afterwards when nothing is happening to you?" She asked.

"What do you mean? Are you alright?" Daniel looked at her sternly.

"Oh I'm fine," She looked away from his stair, "it's just I had an experience afterwards."

Daniel brushed her cheek with the back of his hand, "If something happened and it's bugging you, I've learned it's better to let it out." He sighed, "I won't lie though, it'll help but you'll always be haunted by those memories."

She stared at him in thought. He could almost see the gears rotating in her head.

"Daniel I saw my parents…they looked exactly like they did before they died." She smiled and shut her eyes, "It's like nothing happened to them."

"I know…" He put his hand in hers. He listened knowing that was all he could do for her right now.
