Author: Louise Mills

Disclaimer: I do not own Stargate: SG1 or Stargate: Atlantis. The Only thing I Own in this story is the Characters that do not appear in the shows.
Rating: PG13 American, 12A British.
Author Notes: I am not good at grammar, so please be patient. Also the new enemy will not show themselves for a few chapters. I am going to set the history for y story first. Also I don't like the fact John in the second season of Atlantis won't be the military leader, I also don't like the new military personnel that has come the gate, so this story will not contain anything from the episode the Siege.
Chapter Three
London Gatwick Airport
"Where are we going?" Olivia said frustrated.
"You told me on the phone to get to London as soon as I could. Once I get through customs, you automatically tell me we're getting onto another plane. Can't I even rest a little?" She continued, trailing behind Allanda with her suitcases as Allanda raced ahead.
"You can rest once we're in the departure lounge." Allanda answered. Olivia just glared at her, she wanted to know where they we're going.
"Allanda! Where are we going?" She shouted, her angry getting the better of her. Her shout caused a lot of people to stare at them, which Allanda was the only one that noticed.
"America." She answered quietly. Allanda's answer caused Olivia to stop dead in her tracks. Allanda didn't realise Olivia has stopped, until she was 20 feet in front of her. She turned around and saw a furious Olivia standing behind her. She timidly walked back to Olivia cautiously.
"America! With no explanation as to why?" Olivia said calmly. Allanda knew when Olivia answered calmly, but you could physically see how furious she was, she was beyond furious, if that was possible.
"We are going to see my father, I believe he is the only one who can explain what's going on, but we really can't discuss this in length in public. I have booked us into a VIP lounge, where there should be less people. I will fully explain myself once we are there, can we now please leave." She pleaded.
"Okay only because we're going to see uncle Titas." She answered a little but calmer.
Jack's House"I can't believe you're letting me come into the SGC to work with Sam." Cassandra squealed loudly, causing Jack to wince. Her squeal had hurt his ears.
"Well you're taking Physics at University, so that one day you will be able to work at the SGC. So why not get some work experience when you're on Holiday. Of course any day you want to meet up with some old friends you don't have to come in." Jack answered, while pouring his morning coffee.
The night before it was decided Cassandra would stay with Jack that night, because she had travelled a long way and by the time Sam was ready to go home, Cassie has crashed out on one of the couches and Sam didn't have the heart to wake up.
"Do you want me to get your case, so you can go straight to Sam's after you finished today?" Jack questioned.
"No, I was wondering if I could stay here another night? I don't usually spend that much time with you, when I'm home. I like to spend some quality time with you, anyway I think I will be seeing Sam enough around here." She finished cheekily. Jack just shook his head.
"Cassie you don't have to ask your welcome anytime you want." He answered her original question, but ignored her statement about Sam.
AtlantisJohn slowly woke up feeling an unusual warmth surrounding him; he slowly opened his eyes. He woke up to the sight of Elizabeth snuggled in his arms, he lean back wondering how they got into this situation, he clearly remembers going to bed alone. He suddenly remembered having woke up from a nightmare the night before and Elizabeth was there, trying to calm him down, with a lot of others outside the door. Then him asking her to stay and Carson making him promise to come to the infirmary in the morning. He settled back down and held her a little tighter.
"My Elizabeth." He whispered in Ancient. This woke up Elizabeth whom wasn't fully asleep; she slightly startled John, as she turned around to face him. She was curious to find out how he knew Ancient.
"That was Ancient John." She stated. "How do you know Ancient?" She demanded. John just looked at her not knowing how to answer her.
"John, What aren't you telling me?" She demanded more forcefully, realising by the look on his face he was hiding something from her.
"I can't …can't tell you … I promised I wouldn't say!" He answered, his hand turned away from her. He knew if he looked into her eyes he would, as you say it 'spill the beans' about what he promised he would keep quiet.
"John look at me!" She asked. "John if this effects Atlantis at all you need to tell me, I don't care if you promised or not." She continued and John slowly turned at look at her.
"Elizabeth, I will tell you, but promise me not to get angry. What I'm about to tell you will shock you, I think! Okay there goes, I'm not exactly human." He paused testing the waters. Elizabeth wasn't that surprise and that confused her and him, as he could also tell she wasn't that surprised.
"What do you mean not exactly human?" She answered hesitatively.
"I'm Ancient!" He quickly spoke, while closing his eyes not wanting to see her expression. She was slightly stunned, but wasn't surprised again.
"John, I think I have always known deep down." She stated, surprising herself and John. They just stared at each other for a long time until a question came to Elizabeth.
"Who did you promise that you wouldn't say anything to?"
"I promised and was ordered by my father. His in the air force as well and you know him well I think."
Planet Athena"So when did Cassie get here?" Daniel questioned Sam, while studying a ruin full with Ancient writing, written all over it.
"Last night, she's staying with Jack for a few days." Sam answered, bored just sitting watching Daniel. There was no scientific reason to be here at this moment, she was sure there will be with all Ancient writing's there seemed to be.
"Jack? Since when has he been Jack to you?" Daniel uttered.
"Since yesterday, Daniel he told me that on Friday his resigning to become the civilian leader of the SGC." Daniel's head turned towards Sam fast, which caused him to get a little dizzy.
"Meaning no regulations in the way!" He screamed delighted for both her and Jack.
"Yeah I know!" She answered. She had the biggest smile on her face that she couldn't seem to make disappeared. Daniel returned her smile than turned back to the wall.
"Hey Sam, it says here there's an archive of Atlantian treasures behind this door. That means this isn't a Trunnion outpost, but an ancient one. If I could only figure out how to open the door." He muttered to himself.
"Daniel, maybe the Trunnion culture an Earth was an Ancient culture. The city of Troy was once described as one of the most powerful cities since Atlantis."
"You could be right Sam!" He offhandedly answered.
"Hey, I've found the handle."
"I would be careful Daniel Jackson." Teal'c reminded his absentminded friend.
Washington, D.C.
Olivia was sleeping in the hotel bed that Allanda had organised for them. The minute they arrived she was out like a light and Allanda left immediately for an appointment that was 3 hours ago and Allanda had just returned. She went towards the phone and ordered some coffee up to the room. 10 minutes later it arrived and Olivia still hadn't woke up even with Allanda trying to be as loud as she could.
Olivia finally woke up when Allanda poured the coffee into two cups. Olivia stirred in her sleep and her hand went immediately out towards the direction of the armour of the coffee.
"Well looks like sleeping beauty's finally up." Allanda spoke while passing the cup of coffee to her.
"Ha, ha I haven't had much sleep in the last 36 hours, I like to see how you feel like after taking 2 plane trips to half way across the world." Olivia bit back to Allanda; silence filled the room while they finished their coffee.
"Where did you go?" Olivia asked more awake for civilised conversation.
"To the white house to ask a old friend for a favour that he owes me." Allanda answered while clearing away the coffee cups.
"Who do you know there?"
"The president!" Allanda answered making sure she answered then Olivia had taken a sip of her coffee. Her answer made Olivia to slightly choke on her coffee.
"Seriously?"
"Yeah who better to ask were my father is then the commanding chief of the air force." She stated then looked around the room for the bags. Olivia stared at her suspiciously.
"Tell me we are not going somewhere again?"
"Not today, maybe tomorrow. I found out father works for a classified top-secret base called the SGC in Colorado Springs. Guess what the initial's SGC stands for?" Olivia just shook her head, not really in the mode for guessing games. This caused Allanda to sigh deeply and roll her eyes. "Stargate Command!" She continued.
Planet AthenaDaniel slowly released the lock on the door to the temple they were investigating and the entrance rose up into the roof. Turning on they touches and turned towards the opening, they saw a long dark corridor. They cautiously walked though the entrance, immediately lights came on from the sidewalls.
"Defiantly Ancient." Daniel muttered.
They walked down the corridor, which opened up into a large room. They stood at the threshold of the large room in awe. The room held mountains and mountains of Ancient technology.
They finally walked into the room in silence each of them going in different directions.
Sam walked over to a table that held lots of Ancients gadgets. She cautiously touched one expecting it to light up, like other technology that was made by Ancients they have encountered before, but nothing happen, it just stayed dead.
"Daniel nothing's working" She shouted not knowing where he was.
"I believe you need the gene to activate a lot in this room." Daniel answered from behind Sam, which caused her to jump from surprise.
"Jesus, Daniel don't do that!" Sam stressed.
"Do what?" Daniel asked innocently, looking up from a thin metal pad he was looking at.
"What's that you got there?" She asked curious.
"It's a miniature version of the Ancient Database that Jack had download into his head, but it doesn't hold as much information."
"Okay. Here what we are going to do, we will go back to the Stargate and get a few more teams to help to move this stuff to the base."
"I concur that is the best course of action Colonel Carter." Teal'c confirmed.
Teal'c and Sam turned towards Daniel waiting for his reply, but want they saw was a shocked Daniel, with his month hanging open.
"Guy's is it me or this is Jack in this picture?" Daniel asked as he turned the metal pad around.
