Thanks for the reviews everyone. As for what Season SG-1 is in, I don;t watch it a lot but I read a lot of SG-1 btvs fics so I'm guessing around S5. What you need to know is that Daniel had ascended is is back with memory, Dr. Frasier is alive, Anubis is the main enemy Earth has. and AU is that Jack's clone didn't survive. Oh and of course Jack and Carter are in lvoe with each other, lol.
Chapter 4 – Bonding
Cheyenne Mountain,
A few hours after Buffy had left Jack walked to the infirmity to speak with Dr. Frasier.
"Hey Janet, what did you find out about Buffy?" Jack asked her.
"Well she isn't snaked, but her enhanced strength and abilities I haven't been able to explain." Janet Frasier told Jack.
Jack stood there a minute quiet figuring out how to ask Janet to confirm to him that Buffy was his daughter. Janet gave him an opening "What is it Jack?"
"Buffy told me she found out a few days ago that I'm her father." Jack told her.
Janet paused her work and looked at him "I'll compare her DNA with yours I have on file." She told him.
"Thanks." Jack told her.
Janet nodded before asking him as she started on the DNA work "so giving that you might be her father, how are you taking all of this?"
Jack laughed before saying "I really hate it. I hate what she had to go through, hate I wasn't there for her, I hate that part of me doesn't believe her despite her performance against Teal'c."
"Well it is a lot to accept, I have a hard time believing her as well. I mean vampires and demons. Everything that poor girl must has gone through." Janet told him.
Jack wanted to hit something again at the thought of his daughter going through all those things she had talked about and more. During the meeting he had barely been able to keep himself in check because he despite the part of him who didn't believe her and the part that didn't want to hear anything more the part that wanted, needed, to hear more was the one he listened too.
"It makes me so angry to think that little girls have to fight these things, when did we allow children to fight these things? It's not right." Jack asked her.
"No it isn't." Janet agreed looking at him briefly before resuming her work "I don't know what I would do if Cassie was somehow chosen like Buffy."
"I wouldn't have let her go out into the night if I had been there, if I had known." Jack told the doctor.
"And we probably wouldn't be here because the Hellmouth would have opened." She told him.
"I checked out Sunnydale, it says the city sunk into a sinkhole. Can you believe that? A sinkhole." Jack asked her then not waiting for an answer he said "The death rate in that town was high until it dropped about 9 years ago."
"That was probably the time Buffy arrived." Janet told him as she finished the test she was doing. She looked at him and said "Congratulations Jack, you're a father again."
Jack didn't quite know how to react to that until he felt a warm feeling and eventually a smile spread on his face "I'm a father." He told Janet who nodded at him smiling.
"You should go talk to her, I doubt she only came here to tell us about demons and vampires." Janet told him.
Jack looked at her and nodded absentminded as he walked out of the infirmity almost forgetting to say "Thanks doc" as he left with his mind still racing with the certainty and implication of this news.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Cleveland, Faith and Robin's room,
Faith looked around shivering in the cold as she noticed she was in somewhere where it was very cold and snowy. "Ok, this is new, where the hell am I?"
"You are where the Ancients were thousands of years ago." A voice said causing Faith to turn and look at Dawn.
"Little D"
"Hey Faith" Dawn said.
"Is this real?" Faith asked.
"As real as any slayer dream." Dawn replied.
"Isn't the First slayer of some balance demon usually in them?" Faith asked.
"Usually, yeah. But since I was made out of Buffy and Buffy now has a piece of me in her I can access the slayer line. It will be too hard for Buffy to see me just yet so I'm giving you something that will help Earth." Dawn told her then pointed behind Faith "Watch" she told her.
Faith turned to where Dawn was pointing to see what had previously just been snow and ice now some sort of structure "The Ancients build this place a long time ago, before they either ascended or died. The information there will lead to this." Dawn said and suddenly Faith could see a impressive large city under water for a moment before they were back where Faith began her slayer dream. "You aren't meant to go there when the time comes. Your path lies here. Buffy will need you here to take care of everyone because you are the oldest slayer."
"Me? What about B?" Faith asked.
"Buffy will always a slayer but she is also something else. Like I said she has a piece of me in her." Dawn said then smiled "I'm supposed to be all cryptic from the other Powers but I've been on the other side of that. So I'm just getting to the point, plain and simple. Pass info of Ancient site in Antarctica on to Buffy, who will pass it on to General Hammond who will sent a satellite to confirm its location. And when the time comes to take the next step be sure you and Buffy both take it." Dawn told Faith. "I wish I could say more then that but if I do that I will interfere with what is to come" Dawn said with a roll of her eyes then looked around "I have to go, be sure to roll to your left" With that Faith opened her eyes to discover herself in bed in her bedroom and a form over her holding a knife. She rolled to her left the knife slashing the bed as Faith hit the floor.
"Damn, Dawn." Faith said rubbing her eyes quickly now awake and on the floor as she tackled the figured to the ground. Robin also awake now turned on the lights to see a brown demon dressed as an assassin in black.
Robin quickly got out of bed only to see Faith beat the living crap out of the demon. "Faith" he said throwing her a dagger which she caught and jammed into the demons heart. The assassin staggered back and burst into flame until only ashes remained.
"We should check on the others." Robin said and she nodded as they left their room.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Colorado Springs, Slayer hotel,
Jack walked up to the room he had been told by the front desk was Buffy's and stopped as he heard…
"Andrew, shut up!" Buffy said tired of his ongoing questions about aliens.
"But Buffy we're talking about aliens, real aliens!" Andrew continued on excitedly.
"Which is not where you should be focusing on!" Buffy told him angrily. "We have 5 slayers who are waiting for you to take them out slaying." She told him indicating the other slayers also present in the room.
There was Monica who was 16, Julia who was also 16, April who was 15, Vi who was 17 and Alison who was 18.
"Giles sent another watcher who should arrive tomorrow morning at 7 to help me train them so I could focus more on the construction of the new Watcher's Council location and getting it ready." Andrew told her "The entire reason of speeding up the construction of this location is to ensure that the slayers are able to help out fighting aliens."
Buffy suddenly stiffened as she heard a noise coming from the door and held her hand up as she stealthily walked to the door. She opened the door ready to fight or yell at whoever was listening but fell silent at sight of the person smiling sheepishly at her.
"Jack…hey, what are you doing here?" Buffy asked.
"I uh, I wonder if we could maybe talk" Jack said a bit nervous.
Buffy glanced behind her and back at Jack. "Oh, uh sure. Let me grab some stuff, we'll take a walk." Turning back she entered the room grabbed two stakes and a cross. "Andrew take them to clear out that abandoned warehouse you found that small nest of vampires in. I'll take the cemetery tonight."
As she walked back to Jack she handed him a stake and a cross. "Stake through the heart and cross to hold them off." She explained to him, "guns don't work, just pisses the them off."
"Ok, so we're hunting vampires." Jack half asked half stated as he walked with Buffy out of the hotel.
"Sort of." Buffy said smiling "no better to believe in a world of vampires and demons then to face them head on."
"And you do this patrolling every night since you turned 15?"Jack asked.
"There have been times I didn't for a while. After my first watcher in LA died and I killed the master vampire that killed him I took some time off. Then in Sunnydale because I wasn't ready someone died. I've learned to just patrol as much as possible since then. If I don't more people die then if I do. I've learned to accept that and even though there have been times I couldn't emotionally bring myself to patrol I do what I can." Buffy told him.
Jack cursed "This isn't something a kid should experience, ever." He told her.
Buffy shrugged "Thanks to my friends I managed to have a semi-normal life. Which is more then I can say for most slayer. It is because of my friends that I am the longest living slayer. You fight harder when you have something to fight for." She told him.
Jack nodded knowing that to be true "I asked Dr. Frasier to confirm what you told me." He then told no longer walking. "You are my daughter." He then added looking her in the eyes.
"My mom told me." She told him sadly.
"Where is your mother?" he then gently asked.
"She died 4 years ago, she had a tumor removed and the operation caused an aneurism. The doctors said she went peacefully and without pain." Buffy told him.
"I thought you said you found out 4 days ago?" Jack asked her.
"I did, mom came down from heaving briefly to inform me of you and the aliens." Buffy told him.
"There is more isn't there?" Jack gently prompted.
"There was a battle 4 days ago in LA. A big battle, a lot of people died. 2 people I loved very much died…and my sister ascended to become a power that be." Buffy let out carefully. She didn't know why exactly she was being so open after everything she had learned in this world but somehow she trusted her mothers words that Jack would help her heal. And the only was he could help her was if she told him everything.
"Your sister?" Jack asked and Buffy nodded "What was she like?"
"I'm only telling you this Jack. And I hope you will not repeat this to anyone. I will not share this information with SGC tomorrow." She told him.
"You can trust me Buffy, I am your father after all." Jack told her.
Buffy nodded then decided to confess something first "Before I came to meet you I read your file. I know about Charlie. I'm sorry but believe me when I say I know that he is in a better place."
Jack looked at her not sure what to so except "Thank you for saying that but it's my fault he's gone."
"Don't do that to yourself, Charlie wouldn't want you to. Now listen…" Buffy took a deep breath as she began "in the year I turned 20, I lost my mother, my boyfriend and found out that my sister was being hunted by a Hell Goddess named Glorificus, or Glory as she preferred. And no she wasn't a Goa'uld." She paused looking at him for a moment and letting him process this before she continued "I found out that my sister was in fact The Key. The Key is a lot of mystical energy that can open portals between dimensions. Glory was a Goddess of a Hell dimension along with 3 other Gods. Her power grew so much that the other Gods decided to kick her out before she would kick them out. They defeated her…barely. They sent her to Earth to be imprisoned in a male human. Her power was so great she managed to temporarily transform Ben, the male body into a female form where she was in control and had a lot of power. Glory wanted to return home to her dimension and she needed to Key for that. The Key then only energy was guarded by a bunch of monks. They knew it wouldn't be safe with them any longer so they sent The Key to the slayer in form of a sister. They altered our memories to make us believe she had always been there."
Jack looked at his daughters pained eyes as she continued "Eventually we found out and I tried to protect Dawn, even went as far as leaving town and run away. I couldn't beat her and when I called Ben when my watcher was hurt to help him cause he was a doctor. He turned into Glory and took Dawn. We went back to Sunnydale and with the hammer of a God, well troll actually, but still a god, I managed to beat Glory but not before one of her minions managed to cut Dawn and make her bleed which was all that the ritual needed to start. See it was a once in the million years time that the planets were aligned properly in order to use the Key to tear down the barriers between dimensions and basically sent us all to hell. Glory didn't care about that, all she cared about was getting home. Anyways the ritual had started and could only end if the blood stopped flowing. But the monks made Dawn out of me. So I realized on top of the tower I could take her place and jump to close the portal that was making dragons appear and turning the world to Hell. The First slayer had told me that Death was my gift, so I knew I was going to be ok. I said my goodbye and jumped closing the portal and dying by the mystical energies released by it. I was dead, finally at peace. I knew my friends were going to be alright. I was in Heaven, where I know my brother Charlie must also be."
Jack stared at his daughter "How come you're alive now then?"
Buffy smiled wryly "I was ripped out of there, by my friends a few months after I died. Back into a world where I had to fight to stay alive and not die. Where I had to take care of a sister, get a job to support us. They thought I was in Hell, I can't blame them for trying to save me." She realized they had arrived at the graveyard by now.

Colorado Springs, Graveyard,
Jack didn't know what to say, he didn't know how she could deal with all of this. Losing her mother, finding out you sister isn't really your sister but some sort of magical clone and having to keep her safe from a Hell Goddess, then dying and finally be at peace before being ripped out of that peace by your friends.
"Do you remember Heaven?" he asked knowing Daniel had no memories whatsoever when he returned from being ascended.
"No, I only remember this feeling, this peaceful feeling." Buffy replied.
"Well I know it's selfish of me but I'm kinda glad you're not still dead." Jack said to her.
Buffy smiled "It took me a while but I was actually happy for while as well. Until I found out my boyfriend was Goa'uld system lord and that there was a big battle about to happen in LA."
"Goa'uld system lord?" Jack asked her, "you dated a Goa'uld system lord?"
That moment Buffy spotted a vampire and it snarled as it came at them. Buffy punched it hard and continued the fight the vampire for a good minute beating it in submission before taking pity and staking it turning it to dust and looked back at her father.
"Well I didn't know he had a snake in him. He called himself the Immortal and no I don't know why I couldn't sense him and I could sense that larva in Teal'C and that Major Carter was a host. He slipped through your cracks so maybe he had some magical aid to hide himself better or something." Buffy told him.
Jack a bit stunned at the vampire turning to dust after Buffy had beat the crap out of it before staking it. "you uh, think there are any more Goa'uld magically hidden?" he managed to ask her.
"I don't think so, I'll ask Willow to do a spell to make sure." Buffy told him.
"Spell?" Jack asked.
"I was gonna cover that bit tomorrow." Buffy told him. "Magic is real, my best friend Willow is a very powerful witch who brought me back from the dead and almost ended the world, but she's better now."
"This is a lot." He told her and Buffy nodded.
"I know, it is for me as well. I mean aliens, sure there was the alien demon that one time but actual contact with aliens, through a device that allows travel to other worlds…that's big." Buffy told him.
Jack looked at her before asking "What did that guy back at the hotel before mean by slayers helping out fighting aliens?"
"Well Willow activated all potential slayers in out battle against the First Evil. So there are a lot of us now, not just Faith and me but a couple of hundred. Giles was working out with the president on how we could get some to help out with the good fight against the Goa'uld without the Vice president Kinsey or anyone else besides SGC finding out who the slayers are." Buffy told him.
"Kinsey…did you have some trouble with the NID?" Jack asked.
"Probably, I'll get into it tomorrow." Buffy told him tensing as she sensed vampires.
"Get ready, there are 5 of them." She whispered to Jack who took a moment before she figured out that she meant 5 vampires near them.
"Slayer" a vampire growled at them.
"Slayee" Buffy told him jumping into action.
The 5 vampires were no match for the Colonel and the slayer and were dust in a matter of minutes.
Breathing slightly Jack said "This is actually better then a punching bag." He told Buffy who smiled.
"Yeah, except punching bags don't hit back, vamps do. But I suppose it is a good way to vent." She told him smiling.
As father and daughter bonded and eventually split up to go back to their own place Buffy's cell phone rang.
"Buffy, what's up?" Buffy answered chirpily.
"You guys ok?" Buffy asked.
"Slayer dream? What about?" Buffy continued to ask.
"A site build by the Ancients somewhere in Antarctica?" She continued to ask.
"No sure I'll pass it along." Buffy said into the phone.
"Bye Faith." Buffy said hanging up her phone and sighed making a mental note to mention that to everyone at tomorrow's meeting.
Review please.
