Chapter 4

The unscheduled gate opening was just an SG team coming back from a mission early because of an injury.

With Daniel's assistance Angel and Buffy were able to convince Hammond that they were not going to endanger the facility or any of his team members.

"So what are we going to do now? According to Dan's there is no vamps or demons here so why do they need a vampire slayer?" Buffy asked Angel in the room they had been given. She knew he was worried because they had only been provided with one bed, soon though she was going to get rid of his worries.

"I don't know Buffy maybe we could ask Hammond if we can join an SG team, look maybe I should ask if I can have a separate room. We both know what will happen if we share a bed." Angel refused to put his beloved in any more danger because of him, why she still loved him was beyond his comprehension.

"There is no loophole anymore" Buffy's blunt statement completely floored Angel that he almost combusted right there on the spot. Before he could say anything else though there was a knock on the door and Sam poked her head into the room.

"Uh hey I hope I wasn't interrupting anything but General Hammond requests to see you in his office"

"Okay Sam, were coming" Buffy grabbed Angel's hand who was still in shock and pushed him in front of her and Carter.

"So what do you think about Jack?" Buffy smirked when she felt Sam jerk a little next to her.

"He's a good friend and a better leader." Sam was weary where this was going, she barely new Buffy yet the girl had managed to pick up her feelings towards the commanding officer.

"Doesn't help that he's cute for an older guy, and his boyish charm also helps him." Buffy almost laughed at Sam incredulous looks and glances towards Angel.

"Angel knows he has nothing to worry about, I love him and he loves me that's all that matters now could you say the same about you and Jack"

"He's my commanding officer it's against policy for us to have a relationship" Sam said lamely as she also realised that Buffy and Angel together was probably going against everything never mind some rules a bunch of humans made up, before anything more could be said they reached Hammonds office, but before the entered Buffy put her hand on Sam's arm.

"Think about it, he's not a bad guy at all, and you could do so much worse, don't let rules get in your way, if I had well then I would probably be dead by now, or just another controlled slayer." Sam gave her a confused look but Buffy had already opened the door signalling the end of the conversation.

Sam stared at the closed door for a few minutes lost in thought she had caught a glimpse of Jack in the room before it was shut, Buffy really had her thinking things she never dared to before. Could there be something between her and Jack, she had always found him attractive and he seemed to reciprocate her feelings. So the only thing really standing in their way was a stupid rule made up by people who didn't want their soldiers turning on each other over broken hearts.

Heading back to her lab she thought about all the pro's and cons of the possibility of her and O'Neil having anything more than a work relationship. So lost in thought she didn't here her name being called. That's was until the person calling her name reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Hey you ok I've been calling your me for a while now" Daniel said looking concerned Sam smiled and shook her head.

"Just something Buffy said, she's got quite the personality doesn't she?" Daniel laughed at that.

"Yes she does though it is slightly unusual for a slayer to have one." Daniel looked away for a moment lost in the memories of his time at the watchers council.

"she also said something about if she had followed the rules she would either be dead or a controlled slayer what did she mean." Sam didn't like Daniels grimace, but before Daniel could answer Teal'c walked up to them.

"Major Carter, Daniel Jackson, have seen Buffy summers or Angel at all, I wish to train with them, to see if they truly are the warriors they say they are." Sam and Daniel shared a look before Carter answered.

"General Hammond wanted to see them about something so they should be in his office."

"Very well I shall wait till they are done" Before anyone else could say something Jack Buffy and Angel came around the corner, Angel looked like he was trying to hold back a smile while Buffy looked real annoyed.

"Ah everyone is here, that's great, why are we all here?" Jack asked looking around the now cramped corridor.

"I would like to train with Angel and Buffy if that is ok O'Neil." Teal'c said.

"Sure in fact it's exactly what Hammond wants, so lets get started." Buffy just huffed and tried to go the other way back to her and Angels room, but the vampires arm around her shoulders prevented that.

"Come on Buffy just because there is no amps to fight doesn't mean you can let your training slack" Angel looked deep into Buffy's eyes and knew she wouldn't say no, he still needed to talk to her about the whole no loophole deal but their was a time and a place for that and it wasn't now.

"Fine but you owe me big time mister." Buffy smirked a gleam flashed into her eyes and Angel gulped, he turned to the others.

"So where shall we do this."
