A/N: Apparently killing off characters and bringing them back to life is a great way to get reviews - they nearly doubled from the norm for this last chapter. Thank you.

Bobby wouldn't let go of Alex ever since she woke up. It calmed him much more than he could ever say to be able to hold her hand and feel the pulse beneath the skin that proved she was very much alive. His Alex. She'd died in his arms, and was reborn again – in his arms.

Alex would never admit it to most people, but she needed the constant contact with Bobby as much as he did. Nicole had come so close to taking away everything they had … but in the end she'd lost. Nicole was locked up by some of the best jailers in the galaxy – she'd tried to kill Colonel Carter. No one tried to kill Colonel Carter and lived to tell the tale.

It didn't upset Alex in the slightest that Nicole was only in custody because of the loyalty these people had for each other. Nope, not one bit. Nicole deserved everything that was coming to her.

After the rather … humorous display in the 'Gate room, a man in the uniform of a Major General practically ran into the room, stopping only when he was inches away from Jack. "What the hell happened?"

Jack balked a little at the man's attitude before saying, "Nice to see you, too, Hank. How's it going? Been out of the mountain lately?"

Major General Hank Landry sighed, "Hi, Jack. How's it been? Things have been pretty hectic around here with Dr. Jackson gone. Oh, by the way, thanks so much for the warning you gave me before hijacking my top archeologist and the SGC liaison with the Free Jaffa Nation. They're really great to deal with when they're mad, aren't they?"

Jack grimaced, "Oy. T, it looks like you've gotta go mend some fences with the other Council members."

Teal'c bowed gracefully to Jack and the rest of the group, "Indeed, O'Neill. I shall return to Dakara as soon as I have changed into the appropriate attire."

Jack motioned for Hank to take control of the situation, "Briefing room?" Hank nodded.

Soon Alex and Bobby found themselves seated around a large oval table. Jack started to debrief Hank, "We have a prisoner that's going to beamed down into one of the holding cells as soon as the Prometheus hits orbit. She's a dangerous murderer and should be treated with the same precaution used for the Goa'uld."

Hank raised his eyebrows, "That bad?"

Sam cleared her throat, "Sir, you read all the mission reports, right?" At his nod she continued, "She has a … need for power that rivals that of the Goa'uld, no conscious whatsoever, and an amazingly uncanny resemblance to Ba'al."

Jack cocked his head at his wife, "I can't see it."

"Her mind, sir, not her looks," Sam explained patiently – as if she had gone through the same scenario many times.

"You're going to be posting guards in the room?" Bobby asked suddenly.

"Of course," Hank said.

"I'd recommend only posting them on the outside of the room – or only posting people who are under strict orders not to say a word to her," Bobby explained, "She has an amazing ability to … twist anything to gain sympathy from almost anyone."

"Don't worry," Hank said, "All our people at the SGC are very well trained – and we're going to be stationing two SG teams to guard her. If she tries mind games with them, they'll just agitate her."

"Who are you posting?" Jack asked, now just as curious as the others.

"SG-2 and SG-5," Hank responded.

Jack snorted, causing Sam and Daniel to start laughing as well. "What?" Alex asked.

"SG-5 is Marines, and SG-2 is the secondary first-contact team – Air Force. Now, how long do you think she could hold up with the bantering of eight career military men – most of which are chauvinistic pig heads?" Jack explained.

Alex smirked as Bobby thought about it. "Wow," she said, "Can we get a video of that?"

Bobby cast a look at her, telling her that he was very upset about her asking the question in the first place. What the hell was she thinking?

"Jack?" Hank asked, "What are we going to do with her?"

"That's up to them, Hank," Jack said, motioning with his head toward Bobby and Alex. Everyone looked at them, wondering what they would say.

Alex squeezed Bobby's hand, telling him that it was his choice and she'd back him up. After a few moments of silence he asked, "I want her to suffer punishment for everything she's done. And I want it in the public record on Earth."

Jack nodded, "Okay. We can do that."

Bobby's fervent eyes met his, "And I want to be the one who interrogates her."

At that, the general frowned, "Are you sure about that? I mean – we've got pretty effective methods as it is. You don't have to."

"I want to," Bobby said. "I want to be the one who makes her break after such a long and brutal chase."

Jack nodded, "A revenge thing, I got it. Okay."

"Wait a minute," Alex shot in, "Just like that? You're going to let him at her with that much of an argument?"

Jack looked at her with a blank expression, "Why not?"

She shrugged, "I don't know. It just seems … too easy."

Daniel looked down at his hands before explaining to the detectives, "If Bobby wants to be the one – it's up to him. We've faced enough maniacs out there to recognize the value and closure that can come with seeing the downfall of your enemy … and being the one who causes them to fall."

Alex filed that information away in her mind, to potentially ask Sam about later. She squeezed Bobby's hand again, letting him know that she'd do what she could to help him through what he had just asked to happen.

"While you're waiting for the prisoner to arrive," Hank said, getting up, "You all might want to take a trip down to the infirmary and make sure the Nox got everything when they healed Colonel Carter and Detective Eames – and for your physicals." Jack started to protest but Hank held up a hand, "You know the drill, sir. It's SOP, and you just got back from a trip off-world."

Jack glared at the other man before turning to Teal'c and asking, "So … this, Dr. Lam anything like Fraiser when it comes to needles?"

"Indeed."

A/N: I really hoped you liked this chapter. In two chapters (the one after this next one) there is going to be the Bobby/Nicole interrogation scene - the whole chapter. If you all review, I'll post it faster. I would like a duplicate number of this last chapters reviews, please.
