Chapter 10 – With You
Spoilers: Threads – Season 8 - AU from thereon
Pairings: Jack & Sam of course
Summary: Jack has returned and they are happy, but for how long?
Thank you so much to everyone who has reviewed so far. I really appreciate it.
Several days later a bright light shone in the conference room of the SGC, interrupting Jack's debriefing of SG-1. Daniel and Teal'c had been joined by two temporary military personal, and continued to carry on as the flagship team of the SGC.
"O'Neill, I came as soon as I could after receiving you request for assistance. I understand that you have been having nightmares again?"
"Thor, buddy, thanks for dropping in, mind if we take this into my office?"
"Certainly O'Neill" replied the little grey alien.
Jack, turning to Daniel and the rest of the team "we'll pick this up later, Ok guys"
"Sure" replied a concerned Daniel, "let me know if there's anything I can do Jack"
"Thanks Danny"
As they entered his office, Thor began to inform Jack of their progress in designing and manufacturing the global defence shield. "O'Neill, I have good news to share with you regarding the defence grid. We have just completed trials and the results are very promising. We recently used the grid to repel an attack from a new threat to the galaxy. We are most pleased with the outcome"
"Great, Thor, but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. I've been having nightmares again, but it's with a new enemy"
"Explain O'Neill"
"Well Sam and our daughter get kidnapped and they're used to try and get me to capitulate and give them the access codes to the SGC and what's more the global defence grid"
"What did they look like O'Neill?"
"They were cloaked and wore hoods, I couldn't really see their faces, but their eyes were like all clouded, why?"
"That is very interesting. The race that tried to attack our new home-world, match your description. O'Neill you could be seeing future events"
"Whoah, what, you're saying I'm seeing the future?"
"Precisely O'Neill, but remember, the future is always in motion and nothing is certain until the event actually takes place"
"Maybe you should be having this conversation with Sam, that whole time thingy always confuses the hell outta me"
"Understood O'Neill, however, you fail to see the significance of your premonitions. I believe that you are in fact seeing a future that could quite possibly happen. It may be wise to commence implementation of Earth's defence system"
"Thor, you're starting to scare the crap outta me. Are you serious?"
"Certainly O'Neill, serious enough that I have already completed the manufacture of the defence mechanism and it is in orbit around Earth in the new O'Neill class warship"
With a smirk on his face, Jack said "O'Neill class warship? – Cool"
"I will arrange for transportation of the mechanism and we shall commence installation of the energy components once the platform is built. It should not take any more than a few days to complete the installation, but the sooner we start the quicker we will finish. I will need Colonel Carter for this task."
Jack just stood there, a smirk still on his face, he was thrilled with the fact that the Asgard, one of the most intelligent life in the universe had named another of their warships after him. "Yeh sure Thor, whatever you say" Then turning and picking up the red telephone on his desk, he added "I'll let The President know immediately"
Before Jack could even punch the numbers on the phone, he found himself encased in a bright light and then all of a sudden he was looking straight at the man. Luckily Thor was still by his side.
"Sorry for the interruption Mr President" began Thor, "but it is of the upmost importance that we speak with you immediately"
"No problem Thor, just a minute" the man replied.
After he dismissed everyone in the oval office, he turned to Thor and asked "Ok Thor, what's so important?"
"Mr President, we must commence installation of the Global Defence System. O'Neill has been having visions about a possible attack and as he has described events that have taken place on our home world, events that he could not have known, I am taking these visions seriously"
"Jack you're having visions?" queried the President
"Yes sir - go figure" he replied, shrugging his shoulders and slightly embarrassed to be admitting this to the leader of the free world. "Thor seems to think that we are in danger, I'm kinda inclined to follow his lead on this one Sir"
"Ok then, return to the SGC and commence the installation. Let me know when it's ready to test"
"Yes Sir" and then being unable to resist bragging "you know he's here in the O'Neill class battle crusier"
"Congratulations Jack, you must be very proud" The President responded with a smile on his face.
Jack puffed out his chest and replied "Thank You sir, proud as punch"
As soon as Jack had made finished his last sentence, he found himself back in his office as the SGC.
Turning to his alien friend, he asked "Ok Thor, what's first".
