Tegan Chronicles

Affairs of Love 3

"You wanted to see me?" Janet stepped into Tegan's lab the door closing automatically behind her. She looked around quickly spotting her in the front corner of the lab looking into a microscope she'd moved there. "Rearranging?"

Tegan mumbled something about a dead zone, her eyes cutting to the security camera before moving to Janet. "Take a look."

She stepped back allowing Janet room to step up to the counter. She adjusted the microscope. "What am I looking at?"

"Beats me," Tegan responded distractedly. She stepped up behind her placing her hands on the counter resting one on either side of Janet.

"It looks like pollen." Janet shifted not certain what had gotten into Tegan, but suddenly remembering the strange behavior of SG1 the night before.

"It's from the mushrooms." Tegan moved away.

"From…"

"Yeah," Tegan nodded. She didn't remember the numbers of the planet, or why that should be important.

Janet started to step around her when she felt her wrists being gently grasped, the pressure just enough to remind her of the strength Tegan was capable of but not enough to hurt her. "Tegan?"

"Shhh," Tegan quieted before pushing her the last few inches so her back was flush against the wall, her hands pinned at her sides.

Janet felt her heart rate quicken. Tegan moved in even closer pressing her left leg between Janet's, stopping only when Janet's skirt refused to budge further. The heat from their bodies intermingled in the miniscule space between them. Tegan lifted Janet's hands easily above her head, staring deep into those large brown pools. Craning her neck towards the shorter woman she slowly licked her lips leaving a glistening trail before pulling her tongue back into her mouth. Her lips hovered a hair's breadth from Janet's.

"Medical team to physics lab one." The first announcement from the klaxons caused Tegan to pull back releasing Janet.

"That's you." She turned away bracing herself against the counter, her shoulders dropped slightly. The repeat announcement reverberated in her ears. "That's Sam!"

She ran down the hallway easily catching up with Janet at the elevator bay, both hoping who ever else responded thought to bring a medical kit.

"What happened?" Janet asked as she rushed to Sam's side.

"She just collapsed." Daniel looked like he'd just been caught with his pants down.

"What was she doing when 'she just collapsed'?" Tegan stepped into his space.

"I kissed her."

"What'd you do that for?" Tegan watched as his left hand started to touch his forehead, his eyes rolling back in his head even as the color drained from him. She thrust her arms out managing only to keep him from injuring himself on the way down.

"What's going on?" Sam pushed her back against the cabinets as the medics came in.

"What took you so long?" Janet looked back at them and then over to Tegan before her worried eyes fell back on Sam.

"We've got Colonel O'Neill in the infirmary." Julie answered.

"Who'd he kiss?" Tegan was starting to see a pattern.

"Me," Julie blushed lightly. "I tried to stop him."

"You passed out," Janet explained while trying to check Sam's pulse, and listen to the other conversations.

"Is Monroe in the infirmary?" Tegan directed her question to Julie certain Daniel was going to be just fine.

"Yes," She nodded to Daniel.

"You caught me?" He looked up at Tegan.

"I tried."

"I could…"

"Don't you dare say kiss me." She looked at Janet. "I think we need to get hormone levels…"

"On everyone including you." Janet pointed at her with her eyes.

"Why?" Daniel and Sam looked at each other.

"What do you remember?" Tegan looked between them ignoring Janet's pointed stare.

"Loud booms!" Jack commented from the doorway.

"I tried to keep him in the infirmary."

Jack saw Julie turn toward him and he blushed. "Sorry Sergeant, alien mushrooms?"

Sam gave a sigh of relief, "Is that what caused this?"

"Was I such a bad kisser?" Daniel watched her look between Janet and Tegan.

Sam shook her head no as Tegan answered her question. "We don't know yet, it's just a theory. Janet wants to get hormone levels on everyone."

"Who'd you kiss Kiser?"

"No one sir." She wished she could forget the scene that had just played out in her own lab. She wasn't sure what she'd seen in Janet's eyes. Was it fear? Was it desire? Was it something more?

Tegan and Teal'c were standing in the infirmary between two beds. One had Daniel sitting cross legged at the head, and Jack sitting with one leg hanging over the side at the foot. Sam sat on the other bed with one leg tucked under her, the other bent with her chin resting on it when Janet came in.

"So?" Tegan was the first to ask as Paige followed behind Janet.

"Teal'c's hormone levels are normal." Janet glanced back as General Hammond entered. "Sam's, Daniel's and Colonel O'Neill's are only slightly elevated. Yours on the other hand are extremely elevated, leaving me to believe that theirs are coming down."

"So who you gonna kiss Kiser?" Jack grinned. "I'm sure General Hammond…"

"Jack," General Hammond interrupted him.

"No one. I mean no offense but come on the General's more like a father figure to most of us. And did you really think I would pick any of you?" She indicated the male half of SG1. "You guys are like my brothers, and that's just wrong."

"You just have to touch lips, but I could always call up Greg for you." Jack grinned as Tegan blushed.

"I think I'll take my chances and let it run its course."

"We don't know what course that is," Janet spoke.

"Fine, Teal'c?" Tegan turned to him.

"Why'd you pick him?" Jack and Daniel whined together.

"Because he's closest, and why should you two get all the fun?" She turned and lifted her heels off the floor slightly to reach his lips. She pulled back and stood there for several minutes, all eyes on her. "I don't feel any different."

"Why didn't it work on her?" Jack turned to Janet.

"I don't know."

"Well, until you do know, or you are certain her hormone levels are back to normal Major Kiser you are not to leave base." General Hammond shook his head. "This is both to protect you and the general public."

"I agree," Janet added as Tegan nodded her consent.

"You think I'm a menace to society?" Tegan asked Janet after the room had cleared.

"You did try to kiss me." Janet pulled out the supplies to draw her blood just in case the Teal'c kiss had worked.

"I did?"

"You don't remember?" Janet slid the needle effortlessly into her antecubital vein.

Tegan gave a noncommittal grunt, "Maybe I should call Greg."

"You're not to leave base." Janet pressed a cotton ball to the site and pulled out the needle.

"I won't." She watched Janet walk out before finding Paige.
