Sue was worried about Colonel O'Neill. Ever since their last mission he had become even more withdrawn. Teal'c and Janet were doing all they could to get him to come back but so far it wasn't working.

It was a normal (yeah right) day at the SCG when the gate activated. General Hammond ordered SG-1 to the control room. She was puzzled when she saw an older man standing on the ramp. "Harlan," whispered Teal'c, noting her expression.

"Comtriya!" greeted the man.

"Ah!" said O'Neill sharply. "Harlan, you get your butt over here and tell us what the hell your doing here on Earth." Sue almost gaped in surprise. She had never seen O'Neill this far forward from withdrawl.

"Oh, okay," 'Harlan' whined. He looked aound. "Where are Captain Carter and Doctor Jackson?"

"Major Carter and Doctor Jackson aren't here, right now," said General Hammond.

"What business do you have on the Tau'ri home planet?" inquired Teal'c.

Harlan looked slightly unnerved but answered anyway. "I have a slight problem. Your doubles took to exploring planets as you do, but this time they haven't come back. It is almost too late," he wimpered.

"What's almost too late?" asked Terry curiously.

"SG-1's doubles are almost out of power. Captain Carter made a brilliant invention that allows us to travel off the planet for extended periods of time. We can stay away for forty-eight of your hours."

"How much time do they have left?" asked General Hammond.

"They have only sixteen hours left. They always returned after twenty-four of your hours but they are far past their deadline. This is not good," Harlan muttered.

"Send a MALP through," ordered Hammond. "We'll see if they're still in the vicinity and if they need any help returning to Harlan's planet."

Twenty minutes later, a MALP was assembled and travelling throught the wormhole. Once on the otherside, Harriman panned the camera around and Sue had to do a double take when she saw who was on the otherside. It was Colonel O'Neill.

In the end, SG-1 gated to the planet, met all of the robots except for the Doctor Jackson one, whose head was blown off. They beat Cronus and gated back with the Robo-SG-1's bodies. Harlan then left to make the Robo-Daniel "better" and to reactivate the others.

Terry and Sue had been excited to meet one of the famed former memebers of SG-1. Sadly, they hadn't had much time to chit-chat before her power source died.

The team had debriefed three hours ago and was now relaxing in their own separate places. Sue was in the infirmary talking to Janet and her adopted daughter, Cassie. Terry was in her lab, trying to figure out how one of her many alien devices worked. She had no idea where Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c were.

"Major Carter seemed nice," commented Sue into thin air.

"She was the best," agreed a quiet voice behind her. Sue turned and saw Cassie.

"Hi," she said. Cassie smiled in reply and sat down on an empty bed.

"I miss Sam so much," she sniffed.

"Did you know her long?" asked Sue.

"Only a couple of years. She stayed with me, you know," said Cassie into space.

"No, I haven't heard about that," said Sue, trying to coax the girl on.

"Nirrti made me into a--a 'Trojan Horse' I think Daniel called it. There was a naquadah bomb building up in my chest so that whenever I got near the gate, I'd get really sick. When they found out about it, they took me to the old nuclear facility. Sam brought me down, but I woke up from the coma I was in. I asked if she was going to leave me. She said no. We went to the bottom level and she put me in a room and hurried out. I was so afraid she wouldn't come back and that I was abandoned again. She came back and held me past the deadline time they thought I would detonate," said Cassie bitterly. "She had promised that she would never leave me, that I wasn't alone any more. Sam kept her promise when it really mattered."

"Wow," said Sue. "You know, no one will tell me or Ter anything about them. Everone seem to hate us, especially Colonel O'Neill. Only Janet and Teal'c show any signs of compassion toward us."

"Why?"

"I've heard that Colonel O'Neill used to be the life of the party, so to speak but since Major Carter and Doctor Jackson...he just hasn't...he's withdrawn. Terry is the person on our team who's sarcastic and stuff so I think they don't really like her because in a way she's replaced both Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter. I'm the new archaeologist of the team, so therefore I've replaced Doctor Jackson," said Sue bitterly.

"How long have you worked on SG-1?" asked Cassie incredulously.

"Uh...about...eleven months," replied Sue. "Why?"

"You've been living with these people's crap for almost a year?! Have they been giving the cold shoulder since then?" the girl demanded.

"Yeah. Both me and Terry," replied Sue.

"The airmen here have said some things, like you two were hardcore and ignored everyone. No wonder! If they've been giving you all this sh--crap then I'm not surprised you are ignoring them," said Cassie.

"It's not like that," said Sue quickly. "We tried to make nice at first but everyone hated us for being the replacements and they ingored us. But then, they also wanted us to socialize, which is a little hard, I might add, when the people you're socializing with hate you and want nothing to do with you. After that, Ter and I just stuck together. We've been close friends since the adademy so we were fine with that."

"You know you sound kind of like Daniel when you say that," Cassie commented.

"O-oh, how so?"

"You're defending them, sort of, even though they're being cruel to you. And you're trying to find the bright side of the situation. And according to Mom, you and Captain Roland are kind of like Jack and Daniel. Daniel was always quiet and very persuasive, he almost always got Jack to let him do whatever he wanted. Jack was always making sarcastic comments...loudly," answered Cassie. "But despite their differences, they got along great." They were silent for a moment. Suddenly, Cassie said, "Mom's great and all, but I wonder what would have happened if Sam and--I mean, or Daniel adopted me," said Cassie sheepishly. Sue would have left it at that if the girl's cheeks hadn't turned a bright red.

"What?" asked Sue suspiciously.

"Nothing. I can't say," Cassie responded quickly. "It's a promise I made to Daniel."

"Oh."

They fell into a long silence.

----------------------------------------------------

"You know what?" asked Terry, beating the crap out of a punching bag.

"Hmm?" asked Sue.

In mock respect, Terry replied, "With all due respect for dear Colonel O'Neill, he's acting like a baby with a stick up his ass."

"Ter," said Sue warningly.

"What? He's not here to hear me, and it's not like he'll court-martial me, because I was being respectful when I said it," argued Terry. "Besides, you know it's true. Ever since he saw Robo-Carter he's been this way."

"Do you blame him? He just saw someone he was once close to and didn't even get a chance to see the other," hissed Sue.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do blame him," returned Terry. "He doesn't need to be such an asshole about all of this. You know I'm right." And with that, she stalked out of the weight room.

"Ter!" Sue called, but Terry was either out of earshot or just ignoring her. "You can be such a five-year-old," she muttered. She sighed and went to shower and change.

Luckily, no one else was there so she quickly got in and out without having to worry about being harrassed by anyone.

Her stomach growled, and she blushed despite the fact no one was here. When she tried to open the door, she rudely dicovered that someone locked it from the outside. "Son of a bitch," she growled. Her cheeks redder than ever when she did the only thing she could think of: pounding on the door as hard as she could. A couple of airmen passed the door but, after realizing who it was, just walked on and ingored the trapped woman. "Dammit to hell!" shouted Sue. Over her furious swearing and pounding, she managed to catch the sound of feet and shouted spitefully, "I bet you never did this to your percious Daniel Jackson! Or brainiac Carter!" She fell to the floor, her back to the wall, fists clenched furiously.

Then she heard the door click and Harriman poked his face in. "Actually ma'am, I heard stories that when Doctor Jackson first arrived, the marines thought the exact same prank would be funny to try with him. They were too afriad of Major Carter to try it with her."

"So they thought it'd be funny to act like retarded little babies and lock me in the fucking showers?!" fumed Sue. This crap had gone of long enough. The second she found out who did this...oh, there'll be hell to pay! Harriman just stared at her in shock. Up until this point, Sue had been sweet and quiet. Now she was...vengeful, hateful, were the only words that first came to mind, and not for lack of truth.

"So! Do you think they went to the cafeteria to gloat over their little prank?" demanded Sue.

"I-I don't--"

"Oh, never mind!" Sue stormed off toward the cafeteria.

She slammed the door open and the caf grew quiet. "Whoever just executed their little prank will have hell to pay when I find you!" she shouted. "You know who you are! Captain Roland and I have done nothing to you, and you think it's funny to mess with us? We have been getting a crapload of shit since we got here for no reason. I know Terry's about ready to smash some heads, and I'm inclined to agree. Court-martial or not, if I find you, or someone else pulls shit like that again, I will personally track you down and make you pay!" She stormed off. The cafeteria only grew to a steady hum instead of the deafening roar it had been before Sue entered.

She ran into Terry in the hall. "Sue! I just heard are you--" But Sue held her hand up.

"Terry, I am not in the mood. I don't want to say or do something to you I might regret," growled Sue and she continued on to her lab.

------------------------------------------------------

When Terry opened the door to the cafeteria, she was urprised to hear it so quiet, and even more so to see people looking at her cautiously, as if she might do...whatever Sue had done. Without an word, she got into line and picked out some food. Glancing around, she saw Janet sitting in the far corner. She quickly went to join her new friend.

"Hi Janet," she said in a low voice. "Uh, why is it so quiet in here?"

Janet looked up. "Sue just gave these people something to think about."

"Sue?" Terry joked, but quickly sobered when Janet's face remained serious. "What happened?"

"She didn't specify, but she stormed into the cafeteria, really pissed off and started yelling at everyone in here about how someone pulled a prank and that the both of you hadn't done anything to desreve anything done to them. She also said something about you two getting ready to kill some people," replied Janet.

"Sue? Yelling at everybody?" Man, Sue must have been really pissed at someone.

"I believe her parting words were, 'Court-martial or not, if I find you, or someone else pulls shit like this again, I will personally track you down and make you pay.'"

"Our Sue said that?" asked Terry.

Janet nodded, taking a bite of her sandwich. She chewed thoughtfully, and said, "I think she made quite an impression because she never--"

"Acts like me when someone 'pranks' me?" finished Terry.

Janet paused then nodded. "Something like."

"After I finish, I'm gonna go talk to her," Terry decided. She wasn't sure if Sue was like her and need to cool off for a while, or whether she was going to be angry for a while.

Janet finished her sandwich. "Well, if either of you need me, I'm going to be in my office," she said before departing.

Terry nodded. Ten minutes later and she headed to Sue's lab, probably the most likely place to find her. Just Terry's luck, her friend was there.

"Sue?" she asked softly.

Sue glanced up indifferently. "Come to scold me for not believing you and letting a bunch of assholes do that?" she asked coldly.

Terry winced. She deserved that. "Uh, sorry about loosing my temper earlier. What happened?"

"Some fucking toddlers thought it's be cute to lock the nice Air Force Captian in the showers. I know it sounds stupid, but it was the intent that makes me so angry, you know? All my life, my Dad gave me the same crap and I never once complained or did anything about it. Now I have to deal with that every day at my job, and I'm sick of it! They just thought I'd take it in stride, well the person who did it will pay. I am not tolerating that, that garbage any more."

"Sue, I was wrong. Just let it go," said Terry.

"Not this time, Ter. You are either with me against the base, or you're with the base against me," said Sue. "Take your pick."

"I'm with you," sighed Terry resignedly. "They wouldn't be happy if I sided with them anyway."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some girls at school recently decided to try something that really pissed me off and I decided to put that into my story (besides, it adds some conflict from someone you wouldn't really expect to be so angry.)
