A/N: A very bad transition chapter. Well, it's all starting to wind down, now. Enjoy!

"When will the Prometheus get into orbit?" Bobby asked as he had his butt shot with a scary looking needle wielded by a stern looking female doctor by the name of Dr. Carolyn Lam.

"In about another hour," Sam responded. "If you want, we can give you the ten-cent tour while we're waiting."

"Or," Jack put in, playing with something he knew he shouldn't be playing with while he waited for the others to finish up with their physicals, "We could go wait in the commissary. I haven't had pie like they make here in ages."

Sam rolled her eyes, "Of course, the one thing the cooks make from scratch: the pumpkin pie." She furrowed her brow as she thought about pie, "Actually, Jack, that sounds quite good right now."

Jack grinned, causing Alex and Bobby to smile at the obvious love the couple had for each other. "Well, then, the pregnant woman has spoken. Pie it shall be."

Alex turned her attention back to her big partner, "Why didn't you ever do that for me when I was pregnant?" she asked as he walked out from behind the curtain that separated the area Dr. Lam was giving the physicals in from the rest of the room.

Bobby looked at her with his trademark wide, innocent eyes, "I thought I did."

Alex shook her head, "Nope, not before Bishop got there – and I'm pretty sure you only did that because you wanted to distance yourself from her from the start. Which, by the way, didn't work so well with her."

Bobby shrugged, "I'll make a note of that for next time."

Teal'c raised an eyebrow, the sole movement in the room after Bobby's half-thought through statement. The silence was palpable as the members of the SGC waited to see what Alex would say to that.

"Next time?" she finally asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "You're pretty full of yourself, Goren. What makes you so sure there'll be a next time?"

Bobby gave her the puppy-dog look that had worked so well for him so many times in the past. He really didn't want to fight with her. In an attempt to add a little humor to the situation he said, "What? You're saying that Cindy and Ken aren't going to want any more children?"

Try as she might, Alex couldn't help but feel the bad mood drain out of her body and a smile grace her face. She couldn't help it – less than two hours after being killed then brought back to life and she was flirting with Bobby in front of a room full of people – and they're not under cover. Who would have thought that death could be such a good matchmaker? Certainly not Alex.

Daniel cleared his throat, "So … pie?"

"Excellent idea, Dr. Jackson," Sam said, threading her arm through his in a friendly manner. "Lead the way!"

As the two made their way out of the infirmary, Jack couldn't help but smirk as he followed them. Daniel was very lucky that Jack knew without a doubt that the two weren't sleeping together – and that Sam and Daniel were like siblings. Otherwise Bobby and Alex were positive that Daniel would have been maimed for his friendly relationship with Sam.

The time went by quickly as the group ate pie and other desserts while waiting for Nicole to be beamed down into one of the interrogation rooms. Pendergast would send a message to the SGC as soon as they reached orbit; he'd then be given the precise location to beam Nicole Wallace into.

Bobby tried to focus on Alex and the piece of delectable chocolate cake in front of him, but his mind kept on wandering back to Nicole. He wanted to make her suffer so damn much for hurting Alex, it made his blood boil. She'd tried to take away his Alex! Who the hell did she think she was? She wasn't God – and it was way past time that she got that through her thick skull.

By the time an Airman came and whispered something in Jack's ear, Bobby was almost ready to burst in his desire to rip Nicole apart with his bare hands. Jack turned to Bobby, "Let's take a walk." Jack turned to Sam and Daniel and said, "Observation room five."

Bobby rose to follow Jack, Alex's eyes following them as they walk out of the commissary and out of sight. She knew that it was now time for the final battle between Bobby Goren and Nicole Wallace. That battle that would decide forever who was known as the victor and who would be known as the one that broke.

Jack led Bobby through the corridors of the SGC, nodding in recognition to each of the passing officers and civilians that called out salutations to the Major General. All Bobby could think about was getting Nicole. She'd tried to kill Alex – hell, she had killed Alex! The feeling of Alex's warm hand on his cheek came back to him. "We're safe. We got her this time." Her words to him as he held her in his arms, came back to the front of his mind. Oh, yeah, they had her this time. And this time, there was no way in hell he was going to let her get away.

When they reached the elevator, Jack swiped his pass-card through and pressed the down button. They were securely inside when he started to speak, "There are a few things you need to know before you go in there, Bobby."

The younger man's eyes flickered to look at him before turning back to watch the numbers grow larger as they descended into the mountain. "One: in this mountain – she has no rights. Two: if you find at any time that you want out of that room, all you have to do is stand by the door and knock – they'll let you out. Three: nearly everyone in this mountain wants to kill her and see her dead just as much as you do. We take care of our own. Four: we'll back up whatever you decide to do."

The elevator stopped at the doors opened, revealing a group of four men, armed to the teeth, waiting for them there. "SG-2, meet Detective Bobby Goren. Goren, meet SG-2: Major Ferretti; Colonel Denison; Lt. Ashford; and Lt. Henderson. They're going to be guarding inside the room. SG-5 in place?"

"Yes, sir," Denison said. "The prisoner is in place and …" he trailed off, unsure what would be appropriate to say in the moment.

Ferretti had no such qualms. With a cool smile that would frighten anyone else, he calmly said, "By the time she leaves this mountain, she'll be wishing she with Ra and Sokar, sir."

Jack nodded once, "She'll see them soon enough." With another nod to Bobby, he let SG-2 lead the detective away. Jack wanted to give the big detective as much time as he wanted with the she-devil. After all, if she was going to end up in the lowest circle of hell, full of dead false-gods, the least he could do was let Bobby get the revenge he so desperately needed first.

A/N: Next up: Bobby and Nicole. Who will win? Who will win? Ah, hell, we all KNOW who's gonna win! But how they get there is half the fun!
