CHAPTER 6

There is a crossover involved here, but I won't say the name right now. You'll figure it out yourself if you watch SCI-FI. For this crossover, the events happening right now take place after the episode 'The Sentinel' and well before the episode 'Meridian', set near the end of Season 5 for that series. And since I probably have to say this, no I do not own that series either. Hence the word, "Fanfiction", and that's what this is.

Whatever it was that the Freaks and true vampires were doing out there, it wasn't much. There was still another two weeks to go for Captain Ferguson before he was fully recovered along with several other men. It was his right hand after all and being right handed didn't help. More than once he forgot and tried to use it, only to make matters worse. With the men they lost and the few still on down time, Integra still felt the need to bring in more troops. Yes, Seras had great reviews in her training, especially at getting better in sword/knife fighting and hand to hand combat, plus good reviews when out in the field lately. But the rest of the troops were all people that couldn't fight hand to hand against either ghoul or vampire, be they the real thing or Freak. So she was trying to get at least up to having 200 to 250 men under her command and better trained. The only real problem was they could only recruit from D-11 and the S.A.S. for so much and since they had recruited a lot of them before the Valentine attack and other attacks before, they could only pull a small amount of people from either one. So some people were being pulled from foreign places, which bothered Integra and Walter because though quite a few of them had very good backgrounds and good character, many were considered heathens or heretics, or atheist.

The General did have a few contacts he tried that resided in the U.S.A., and managed to get several black ops personal that were actually Protestants along with some Air Force personal and a few Marines. Not all of them were Protestants, but at least none were Catholics, as she stipulated in the search to avoid. Integra was rather impressed with that and was even more surprised when a few of them couldn't wait to go out and fight. All of them refused to talk about their past, as to what they did for the American military, as to top secret and classified missions and she was glad to hear they maintained that loyalty, since none of that information was going to be important for their new jobs anyway. They were also offered the chance to go home and to swear never to speak of what they learned. They all agreed and four of them went back to the states. One guy because it sort of freaked him out, monsters under the bed stuff. He figured after all these years, he'd be safer back in America where they didn't hear much less see vampires except on trick or treaters. Another guy said he had family he'd rather not end up never seeing. The other two said they would help, but would rather deal with killing terrorist and such. Not undead that took more time to kill than the normal bad guy. They signed agreements and left back to the states.

So, everyone that was new was still going through training, through the above ground maze that Integra and Ferguson was watching over. A lot of the men were doing rather well and so far, no one had died in the simulation. Captain Mason and Captain Garret were at the other above ground mazes doing further training. As Integra started to leave, Walter informed her that the Hong Kong police found a building being used to ship mass quantities of the Freak chips. Unfortunately, all evidence was destroyed and several officers were killed. So they had no leads, or as Integra had put it, their hands were blocked again.

On her behalf, the General did contact some people in different areas of the globe, and though he was still waiting for answers…well, those people were going to talk to her actually, the ones that did call back didn't have anything much less hear about anything close to the subject of anything dealing with the chips at all. Whoever was behind it all, they were keeping a lid on it tighter than the vacuum of space as the General put it. While she went back to the house to finish up on her work, Seras and the General were inside one of the buildings near the training area, teaching. She was pointing at a white board where markers were used instead and then erased, so much easer and less messier than chalk. The men were all standing and watching her as she talked seeing as there was no chairs. All of them were fully fitted up and ready to go, including a few personal weapons, but mostly the standard MP-5, though not at ready much less loaded. Their outfits all varied and reminded the General of that cartoon G.I. Joe since everyone wore whatever they felt like. Seeing as it took time to run the courses outside, there was only 7 men they trained at a time before bringing in the next bunch.

"Right, group 7, let's move onto you lot. As you heard in the briefing, when you encounter threatening targets, shoot for the head. Hits to other parts of the body won't be counted." she said pointing at the drawn dummy that had no appendages, just a chest, thin neck and head.

"In the exercise outside, that is what the target will look like. But just incase this ever happens to any of you, because it has happened before, it anyone can't see the head or chest, shoot for the knees. In most cases, they will drop, and then if you do it right and quickly, the head is an easy target. I haven't heard of it happening for anyone else as of yet, but I have shot and blown off the knees of a couple ghouls and a few Freaks before. Makes it very hard for them to use their speed to rush through your ranks or just you and a group, or even if it is just you. But then, I carry a couple powerful pistols. Anyway, point is, no head, completely dead body."

"Okay, just to clarify General…" one man asked. "The targets out there in the training field are all head and chest dummies?"

"Yes." he said. "We only grade you for shots to the head right now."

"Got it." the man said nodding.

"Also with the test, there are non threat targets. Shooting them is an instant failure and the test will end." she said. "The arrows will help guide you through the course."

"Questions?" the General asked as she put the pen pointer down.

"Yeah I got one." a guy with a bandana said. "We heard some crap about their being a real vampire in this unit."

This caused a few of them to laugh.

"There's two actually. One of them is already in here. The other….well, you'll know him when you see him. Why?" the General asked crossing his arms.

"You don't look like much of a vampire." the man said.

"That's because I'm not the vampire. Bright red eyes are a dead give away of vampires." he said pointing at his own. "Not to mention the fangs. And no chest movement because they don't breath."

They all shifted their eyes to her, and she wasn't smiling.

"I am getting tired of doing this." she said picking up a metal pry bar amongst a pile on the floor. "Catch."

"At least all the groups haven't asked." the General said as one man caught it.

"Four out of seven isn't good odds." she muttered.

The guy tried to bend it as she instructed. The others tried and a few of them did bend it slightly before she took it back and turned it into a pretzel with no trouble. It might as well have been string in her hands as the men looked in surprise or shock.

"Now, if anyone has any more questions, that are not about me, please ask. And in case it crosses anyone's mind, the answer is no. I will not try to drink or bite anyone, the very thought disgust me as strange as it sounds even though I am a vampire. However, I reserve the right to slap any of you, and remember my superior strength, who decide to try to hit on me.." she said ticking off her fingers. "Make any sexist remarks, touch me in any way inappropriate or keep your gaze on…we'll just say anywhere but my face. And in case it crosses anyone's mind, no I am not interested in any sort of relationship other than just another solider working here."

They all nodded after she smiled sweetly, showing her fangs, and then left as she pointed at the door.

"I'm getting tired of getting stared at constantly." she said leaning against the wall after they left.

"You are very beautiful."

"Thanks, but they weren't looking at my face. Their eyes and brains were not in their right heads either. And some of those other heads were a bit obvious. Perverts." she said with disgust.

"We've only got a few more groups and then we can take the day off. I have an idea though on how to start each new group, just tell them the same thing you just told them. Bend the bar, give them those rules so their brains leave their pants and their eyes stay on yours, then explain everything as their brains are working correctly."

"I should have done that after the third group. Bring them in." she said grabbing another pry bar. "I think I'll make a bunny this time."

"A bunny?"

"Bunnies are cuter. And I'd rather be seen as a vampire with some humor and a good side other than working here to protect humans. Besides, making a pretzel indicates food."

"Good point."

About an hour later, they were both back in the house. She was drinking a pop with him while he ate some casserole dish Walter made, no garlic.

"Does that, do anything?"

"No. Better than drinking blood, taste…different but better than blood in some ways." she said with a grimace. "I could drink wine instead, but Alucard says we can get drunk. I'd rather avoid that. Besides, I'm under age anyway technically."

"What about that hot chocolate the other day?"

"Kinda felt ill for awhile afterward. We can drink just about anything, but certain things have more food items in them than liquid. And then drinking straight water is a no too. I have noticed on the few times I have bitten you, though short…."

"Three seconds is as long as you've gone. I don't want you to get near ten since you're still trying to learn how to heal yourself by will power alone."

"Yes, anyway, you taste different depending on how much chocolate you've had that day."

"I try. I'd rather be sweet to you than sour."

"Cute." she said with a smirk.

"I thought it was." he said taking a drink. "When I was making a few phone calls for Integra, I got a call from one of my friends back in Colorado. I have to go back for a few days to check out something. Something I have to do it in person."

"Damn. Do you really have to go?" she whined.

"Yes." he said wiping his mouth.

"Please tell me you are coming back?" she asked grabbing his hand.

"Actually…" he said seeing her face fall slightly. "I'm going to ask Integra if you can come with."

"Huh?" she asked in surprise.

"I'd love to show you my house. All things considered, I'd like to think of it as our house." he said seeing her smile at the thought. "We'd have our own private plane…"

"I can't." she said sadly looking away.

"Why not? I can buy blood if that's…"

"No. If I needed it that bad, I could get it from you. Vampires can't travel over water, not something that big."

"Hmm, another one of those times were you haven't been given all the info about what you are and can do. Have you even read any of the books on vampires here?"

"No. Walter just told me not to get into any planes going over large bodies of water and don't even try boating. Besides, a lot of those books in the library aren't in English to begin with, and it is the only language I know."

"You can travel over water. You just have to do it in a coffin, with what I believe said, some of the dirt where you live at your feet. I can ask Integra for more details. But if she says yes, do you want to try?"

"Definitely! I haven't been out of this country before."

"I'll be right back then." he said grabbing his dishes.

"I'll take them to the kitchen." she said taking them.

Integra looked up as her door was knocked on.

"Come in. What can I do for you General?" she said waving at the chair.

"It's been rather quiet lately and several of the more experienced men will be able to work tomorrow."

"Yes."

"And there hasn't been any extremely serious enemies as of late, not since Anderson. So Alucard can deal with anything really…"

"What is your point General? If you're looking for time off, I really can't stop you from up and leaving. Though technically you haven't even been here long enough to get time off. But I do appreciate the fact you are coming to ask, if that is the case."

"It is the case. I did leave a big opening didn't I?" he said as she nodded. "Normally, I could deal with this over the phone, but in this case, I have to return to Colorado on personal business."

"Do you have any idea how long you'd be gone?"

"Less than a week. Obviously I'll pay for everything."

"I didn't doubt that, being personal business. Plus, you pretty much pay for everything you need anyway since you're not on the payroll. Can I enquire as to…"

"Some financial matters and something to do with an item I bought that someone is trying to get hold of. Not sure why, it is valuable, mostly to me. I was rather sure you wouldn't mind me going. But really, I wasn't coming to ask my permission…."

"You want to take Miss Victoria with you?" she said understanding very quickly. "I may not have been in love myself, but that doesn't mean I can't see it."

"I would like to if possible. She hasn't ever been to America and mentioned she'd like to go one day. If you allow her to accompany me, I'd also need to know what I need other than the coffin and dirt. And any blood issues can be dealt with by me."

"I see." she said understanding the last thing he said. "It has been slow, thankfully. And no problems have arose much less came across my desk with the Vatican. Unless Alucard has any problems, there shouldn't be any reason I can see that needs to keep her here. He was doing most of the work anyway before she ended up here. Please call when you arrive in America and when you arrive in Colorado."

She told him the different things he'd need to get and do to ensure Seras safety over the water and then he left.

"I suggest you wear pants when we leave."

"I can't wear my uniform, much less bring it." she said packing her suitcase. "I can't believe she actually said yes. Why pants?"

"We are leaving in two days. In order for you to travel across the water…"

"I need a coffin. I know. Walter says they have one I can use."

"Did you see it?"

"No."

"It's basically a wooden box and a little lining. Do you want splinters or something you picked out?"

"Oh. Um, in that case, we can go. Rather strange feeling actually. Going to buy my own coffin." she said with a light laugh.

"We could say you're dying…" he said making her laugh harder. "But the pants are because you may have to climb into one if you like it. Or, be fitted for one."

"Ah. I see what you mean."

"If you want to wear a skirt so not only I will see a nice view…."

"Not happening…" she growled.

The owner of the funeral store guaranteed them that the coffin she wanted made would be finished when they arrived to pick it up at the airport in two days. There was nothing there she liked so after seeing what could be made, she picked out what she wanted. It was a couple feet taller than her, in the inside and just wide enough for her to curl up in if she wanted. The outside color was a pearlesence black and blue with gold trim, plus a large gold cross on the top with the box itself was made from solid oak. The lid coming off instead of being attached. The inside was very soft and velvet lined everywhere, the color of blue like here eyes were once and a nice pillow she liked even came with. For some reason, she had the feeling like she just got married to the General after they picked it up and had it loaded onto the private plane. He had to pay plenty extra to have it done by the deadline.

The pilots didn't say anything or ask, especially after the amount of money they were offered to keep quiet and were assured nothing illegal was happening after security checked the coffin for contraband. It was placed in the middle of the room between the four seats with just enough room to walk past to get to the bathrooms. Their bags they placed in the plane with them instead of the small cargo hold. The moon wasn't full, but getting close to it. They left in the morning on purpose so she could sleep through the trip over the water, with a couple pounds of fresh dirt from the Hellsing property, in a zip lock bag was placed at her feet. Her only real problem was she really hated having to sleep alone. They shared a quick kiss and then he closed the coffin before sitting back and falling asleep in the chair next to the front of her lid. They landed in New York and headed out in a rented car, which he hated.

"I want my car back."

"Are you complaining about my driving?!"

"No." he said quickly as he waved his hands innocently. "Your driving is fine. I don't like this vehicle."

"It's something called a Jeep Grand Cherokee. What's wrong with this type of automobile?"

"It's not the General. If it was at least a Mustang, that would have been nice."

"And where is my coffin going to go?"

"Tie it to the top."

Her eyes narrowed and turned even redder.

"I really appreciate you buying me that, and it was rather comfy even though I was alone. That really sounded weird. Anyway, since we have to carry it around in case of any more water trips, especially back home, I would rather not have bugs and god only knows what else all over it as we drive down the road. Understand?" she said with a growl.

"Yes ma'am. We get vehicles that have cargo room."

"Better." she said paying more attention to the road. "Got to keep remembering to drive on the right side, not the left."

"I kept telling you countless times…"

"Yes. But seeing as there is very few if any other cars around us right now, I keep wanting to go over out of habit. I was doing better following that truck before until he turned on that last road."

"Think of it this way then, if you see headlights coming at you, you're in the wrong lane."

"That does help. Wait, why am I driving anyway? I don't know anything about America, as to their roads and where they all go. Much less anything about the rules of the road in this country! Hell, if it wasn't for the speedometer, I'd be driving over or under the limit on the signs."

"I just gave you the keys and didn't think about it. If you want to pull over…."

"I got to get used to it sometime. In case we are here longer than we should be. It is a long trip. Where are we headed anyway or have we passed by…"

"This exit." he said pointing at the now open map. "About twenty more miles till we are there."

"What's there?"

"Several turns later and we are at a private airport. One of the ones that are not used for huge commercial lines." he said seeing her confused as she started pointing behind them. "I have several planes stationed around the U.S. in case I need to go somewhere quick. Sometimes they get chartered out. The one at that airport was currently be used so we have to go to this airport we are headed to."

"Do you know how to fly then?"

"I was in the Air Force once, back with those Spitfire planes. I was in a Tomcat once too. Now there is some speed and power. I thought the SR71 Spyplane was really cool though. Talk about pulling G's. I almost thought I swallowed my tongue."

"Yes was all I was looking for. Are we flying alone?"

"Looking for lessons?"

"That sounds dangerous. I have no idea how to fly."

"It'd be fun."

"And if we crash?"

"Yeah right. Unless you purposely put her into an uncontrolled dive. That's why there is a pilot and co-pilot. In one makes a mistake, the other takes over."

"Oh. Well then, sounds like fun."

"I figure, even when you learn to really fly, you'll be able to fly a plane in case you ever half to. I wish you knew how right now though. As to you personally flying around like Alucard can."

"Why?"

"I've always wanted to see what it was like to have that freedom. Tried sky diving once, but I kept screwing up the landing and gave up. With us, we could fly up high and see the moon closer or anything else."

"Make love in the air?" she said with a suggestive tone.

"No. I've heard that doesn't work very well and zero-g is even worse. Underwater sex is just about as bad."

"That explains why you don't want to do it in the shower. Is that the exit?"

"Yep. Follow this road, take a turn here and then head for that tower there with the blinking light."

"God, all this time and I've just realized how easy it is to drive at night instead of during the day. I can see for miles, so clearly." she said following some Subaru. "What's that?"

"Hmm, a Baja. Nice car. Part truck, part car. Got a couple back home."

"General…" she said looking in the mirror. "I think we are being followed."

"What?" he said looking back to only see several pairs of lights behind them.

"Not very bright was that?" she said chuckling.

"Funny." he said blinking a lot. "Some idiot is using his or her brights. Which one…"

"You can't see them, but it's five cars back. Tinted windows…um, says GMC on the grill." she said looking at the mirror intently.

"You have a make-up kit?"

"Not anymore. I never really used make up much anyway."

"I got a mirror in my coat. Pull up to that hanger on the end. Once we are under the light, keep your back to them and make it look like you are working on your face as you check them out."

"Nice plan. What are you going to do?"

"Make it look like we know nothing. I'll go in and open the hanger door, oh, it's already open."

She pulled up and parked on the side as a guy walked up.

"I'm sorry sir, ma'am, but…."

"That sapphire colored plane with small sparkling stars is mine." the General said pointing. "I'm here to fly her and my lovely lady home."

"Can I see your pilot license and ID sir?"

He pulled it out as she walked over and turned under the light. The mirror didn't show her reflection which gave her a better view. The strange black suburban was there but parked in the parking lot, in a area that gave whoever it was a good view of them. With her exceptional eye sight, she started glancing around as the General was signing a form and asking s few questions. She looked in their direction and then up as she saw another plane in the sky which gave her an idea.

"Hey General, what sort of plane is that?" she asked pointing.

"Well, I'm not sure." he said confused as he walked up. "Probably a jet by the sounds of it. Why?"

"You said you were a pilot so I figured you might know what type by the sound."

"Not that well." he grumbled. "There is so many planes out there…."

"You're plane will be ready to go very soon General. We are filling her and making final checks right now and all your personal belongings are being loaded. May I ask about the coffin? No one was in it."

"It's mine." she said as they entered the hanger.

"You don't seem like a Goth." he muttered as they headed for the twin jet engine plane.

"I'm not. I'm dying. Better to buy it now and have something I'd rather look good in before hand than be put in the ground in some ugly pine box."

"I'm sorry ma'am." he said sincerely.

"Don't worry about it. I've come to terms with it quite awhile back."

He smiled slightly and then handed over the flight plan to the General.

"Here's the stops you need to make for refueling and the emergency places in case of any problems before those locations. Is there anything else I can do for you two?"

"No. Looks like everything is here and onboard. Oh, here." he said handing over a card with $50. "Call these people to have a local guy come get the rental for me. I'm suppose to do it myself, but…."

"Don't worry about it sir. I can do it. You don't even have to pay…."

"I'm very rich. Enjoy. Just don't go get drunk if you can help it. Life is too short to end up with liver problems."

"I'm guessing you don't drink at all sir."

"Can't stand beer and alcohol doesn't sit well with me. Good night."

Less than half an hour later, they were in the air. She found it even cooler since she could see for miles and miles, or look at the ground with no problems despite their height.

"Wow. I can even see the deer down there! I think it's deer anyway."

"Glad you're enjoying it. We have to cross over the Mississippi river, but other than that, you shouldn't have to worry."

"I found a few bags just in case. I'm not tired in the least."

"What was that back there about the jet you saw? You have the eyesight thing, not me." he said confused.

"Oh, right! I almost forgot! I was only using the jet as a distraction. While it looked like we were talking about that plane, I was really looking at who was following us. I don't know who they were and didn't see any real distinguishing features. Other than the two guys I did see clearly that got out were in black suits….like you see in those movies, the F.B.I. type looks."

"I haven't done anything illegal that I know of, other than hacking the Knight Foundation. Been out of the U.S. for awhile though. We did clear customs with no problems."

"I couldn't see much about the driver, but someone was using one of those listening systems because I noticed a small dish pointed at us."

"Ah. Hence the question about the jet nice improvising." he said impressed.

"I remembered the license plate saying it was a U.S. government vehicle."

"Don't matter what we do, they know where we are going since I had to file that flight plan. Oh well, not like we have anything they want?"

"What if they are after me?"

"To do what? Experimentation? To what end? We weren't searched or scanned by anything that I could see. No offense, but you're dead. There's nothing about you that could help medical science. Integra told me a bit about that idea being done many times before."

"Try to make me into one of their assassins or spy maybe?"

"Doubtful. It's probably me. One of the reasons I am back is because I have something the Air Force wants, back at my house. Very adamant about getting hold of it too. So I said I'd come back and talk to a few officers about whatever it is. Maybe I have something that the government really wants. Which is not surprising since I have been around a long time and kept a lot of things over the many years. We'll find out when we get there."

"Good, so, how about that lesson?"

"Aren't you enjoying the view?"

"Oh yeah! It's spectacular! Since we are in the sky, I don't have to watch for traffic. That's what that dial or gauge is for, right?" she said tapping the glass. "Besides, I've looked around and other than some helicopter we passed several minutes ago, though miles away, we are alone up here. I can see pretty far just looking out the front. So, what do I do?"

She caught on rather quickly and surprised him a lot when even after four hours of her flying and even her looking around sometimes, she didn't even jostle the plane much less cause anything that made him have to take over. The air currents outside were moving gracefully with them since they never felt any turbulence. Even with the stops they had to do, eventually the sun was starting to catch up and she had to get into her, boxed in bed, as she called it. Plus the fact she was getting tired and so was he. It was about mid morning when he landed in Colorado and then used one of the few vehicles he had parked there.

The blue with lightening effects design Durango held her coffin rather well. A few people asked especially as they helped him put it in the back, but he said he didn't want to talk about it other than what it looked like. The drive was quiet and easy, and as far as he could tell, no one was following them this time. He pulled into his large car garage and with the help of some of the people that lived there, other than as help but also to watch the place, they brought the coffin in and up to his room, no questions asked. After locking the door and closing all the windows to keep the light out, he picked her out of the coffin and set her on the bed. After calling Integra again to inform her they made it to his house, he then turned back to her seeing she was still asleep. He figured she might be angry with him, but betting on not as he removed everything but her underwear since she didn't wear a bra and put one of his shirts on her before also undressing and after getting into jogging pants, climbed into bed next to her, holding her close. They didn't even wake up till the next morning.

She awoke feeling him next to her, in more ways than one, and then realized she had went to sleep in her coffin. And then she noticed she was practically naked as she sat up and looked at the unfamiliar room.

"Morning. How you feeling?" he said startling her. "Sorry."

"When did we get in?" she asked looking at his huge room.

He rolled over grabbing his watch off the nightstand.

"Wow, we must have been really tired. We got here yesterday morning."

"I haven't slept that long in awhile." she said rubbing her hand through her hair and then stretching. "Oh no."

"What's wrong?" he asked sitting up.

"I'm getting hungry. And I finished those bags we had in the coffin back on the plane."

"There's only one option right now then. And I'm rather hungry too. I'm going to call and have chocolate chip waffles made. You want anything at all? Drink wise."

"No. I don't even want to drink from you."

"Sorry Seras, I'm the only choice here." he said rubbing her shoulder. "But then, it doesn't bother me. You aren't harming me when you do it either. Tell you the truth, I find it sexually stimulating, but then, that's suppose to be a side effect anyway."

"At least one of us enjoys it." she muttered.

"Well, before I call, you want entertainment during your meal or just a drink before the shower?"

"You are perverted."

"I'm not the one that has been caught, by me thankfully, walking around her room in nothing but her robe, that you ditch quickly sometimes as soon as I close the door. You've got little choice anyway since the rest of the house has sunlight coming in. Being in the mountains with the large area I have, there is few trees around that really block the sun. On the other hand, this way we can find out how long you can go out in the sun before the effects of my blood in you wear off."

She wasn't really in the mood for, entertainment and even less about having to drink, but after four seconds into it, that part of her she didn't like, didn't want to stop and kept wanting her to really keep going. Fresh blood tasted so much sweeter, better and even tastier when it was still warm. After nine seconds, she backed off and then went back for another nine on the other side. He slowly rubbed her back during the process and kept the rest of his body still, even though part wasn't, yet was.

"That's a first. Feel better?" he asked feeling a little drained.

"I'm sorry. It…" she said turning away.

"Seras, you needed it, as much as you hate it. Don't beat yourself up. I'm okay and okay with it. You still have your teeth?" he asked sitting up as he rubbed her arms comfortingly.

"Yes. Where's the bathroom, I want to get this taste out before that part of me I hate decides to go back for more."

"We both need showers my lovely dear." he said taking her hand. "They're right though, a lady in a guys shirt is always sexy."

"We, can have that sort of fun later." she said grabbing her bag as they entered the large bathroom. "What about Sir Integra?"

"Only if she was the last female on Earth, otherwise no. I see her more like a, daughter I never had sort of relationship."

"That's got to be weird then. Seeing as she is the boss." she said brushing her teeth.

"I wasn't there for her as she grew up so it's not as hard as it seems." he said as he got the shower ready. "I miss this shower."

"What's so special….oh, three heads. No, four." she said seeing one on the left, the middle and the right, plus one several inches above the handles.

"That one is to hit my lower back, or my neck if I'm sitting down. Sometimes I'll just let the water flow over me for an hour. Very peaceful. I feel asleep once while I was sitting and letting the water run down on me."

"That must have been cold."

"Takes a few hours before the water turns cold. Big house, big heaters." he said stripping with her. "I use natural gas, so actually, the heaters never run out of hot water."

"They'd eventually have to."

"Like I said, big commercial water heaters."

A couple hours later, they were down stairs and he had finished eating. She was wearing a blue blouse that was rather tight fitting, and her leather jacket over that, plus blue jeans. He was in a bright blue three piece suit.

"Feel better?"

"I'm full if that's what you mean?" he asked as she drank some pop.

"No, I mean, as to earlier." she said tapping her teeth slightly.

Seeing as they were in the kitchen and one of the, butlers if you wanted to call him that, was also there cleaning at the moment, he realized what she meant.

"Had their been entertainment with it, I'd be tired." he said quietly. "It takes more than that, kiss to wipe me out."

"True. Yet, you don't last two hours."

"Well, it has been a long time since I've had that sort of activity. I'm surprised I sometimes last an hour."

"General?"

"Yes Henry." he said turning to the man that just entered the kitchen from behind them.

"There a group of people who just arrived. They say they are from the Air Force."

"They came here? I thought I was suppose to meet them somewhere else first." he said finishing his cold coffee. "Whatever they want, must be very important to drive this far out. I've barely had time to even look around the house since being back."

"I can tell them…"

"No, I'll meet them in the library. Need to see how many boxes of books and movies and games came anyway."

"Yeah General, there is a lot." Henry said with a chuckle.

"Wait Henry.." she said quickly.

"Yes ma'am?"

"What did they come in, how are they dressed and what do they look like? If you can remember." she asked.

"A large truck of some sort, non military. There's a tall one, his hair is going gray. Um, kinda looks familiar for some…" he said really trying to think. "Um…a picture! I saw it recently too! Um…."

"Come back to him. How about the others?" the General said after a moment of waiting.

"Brown to dusty brown haired guy, with glasses. Not too old, say his thirties. Wearing green slacks, a white button up shirt and a faded leather coat. He doesn't look Air Force, more like….a teacher. The next guy is a black man, very tall with one of those hoodies I think they are called? Looks like a muscle builder too. Black jeans and a black T-shirt, sleeveless. He doesn't look Air Force though, to stern looking. Could be Marine by the way he kept his hands behind his back and stayed practically ram rod straight. Oh, the last one is a very beautiful blonde lady. Young, say maybe in her late twenties. She has blue jeans, very tight fitting. A blue blouse and a tight leather jacket. I'd say she's Air Force, seems to carry herself like one. Her eyes show great intelligence…"

"Back to the last one. The one you had…"

"A picture. Right, um, this guy is wearing a leather bomber jacket, blue jeans and a gray shirt that says Air Force on it. Wait, I remember! He looks a lot like the picture you have of him and you climbing…."

"Climbing? I don't climb with many people and haven't for years….wait, MacGyver is here?" he said surprised. "Been awhile, many years actually. Show them into the library and find out if they need anything. I'll be there shortly."

"Wait, how did you recite all that like a cop? The detail was.." she began.

"I was a cop turned detective for awhile until I got injured. He hired me to stay here and keep the place protected. You must be a cop too."

"I was a copper. But I….do something else now."

"General, what did you get yourself into this time?" he asked with a false scolding tone. "Wait a minute, I haven't ever seen you with a girl in…..ever. Usually you're brushing them off. How'd she capture you?"

"Nothing I can talk about Henry."

"She's a vampire isn't she? That's why there was a coffin brought in." he said snapping his fingers.

Seras choked on her pop as the General looked around quickly.

"Yeah." he said seeing as the butler had left. "Let's keep it quiet, please."

"Did you tell them last night?" she asked worried.

"I told them I was going to England about vampire business before I went there."

"Hellsing is not suppose…."

"Don't worry miss. I won't say anything. It was a vampire that almost killed me back east in the New York slums area. The General saved me, but not before I got my leg really cut up. Lost my job and now work here. I'm not going to bother you two anymore then." he said leaving.

"Can you trust him?"

"Been for over ten years, no twenty. He gets paid exceptionally well and still has his family so what's there to talk about? Plus he knows what I am so that's probably why he didn't ask about your eating habits, in case you were wondering. And yes, I did tell him about Katerina only because it came up once when talking about vampires." he said getting up. "When he got attacked, he thought it was some of those occults I talked about where they aren't but wish they were vampires. Once he saw the real truth, it scared him and he lost his job shortly after, and then I helped him by hiring him because I need someone to watch this place."

"Oh. Sounds like a good trade off."

"It is." he said as they headed out of the kitchen. "God, I haven't seen MacGyver in awhile."

"Who's MacGyver?"

"He's…." he said suddenly stopping and looking around.

"What's wrong? Is there another Immortal nearby?" she asked looking around protectively of him.

"Yes." he said glancing around in the large hallway. "It must be one of them."

"Where's the library?"

"This way." he said pointing to his left. "You can go in and sit behind my desk. I want to see what they do before I enter."

"You're not using me like bait are you?"

"No way. I just want to see how they react. Might find out who the Immortal is quicker. Besides, I can't think of how to use you as bait. Unless they touch you, or you flash your fangs, they will think you're a normal person like them."

"I know I shouldn't interfere but I will if I have to."

"Just knock them out if they attack me or challenge me since I don't want to see our mansion get damaged or destroyed."

"Our mansion." she said with a smile. "I like the sound of that."

She entered with him a few feet behind moments later, to see the people that Henry described standing around. The one with the glasses was looking at the massive amount of books that were in the room though he did look up for a moment as the two walked in before going back to the book with interest. There was a large rug on the floor that had a couple couches facing each other between a large coffee table. The blonde woman had sat down and seemed to be relaxing while looking at one of the lamps near her. Chairs diagonally opposite to the couches were facing each other from across the same table. The black man was in one also relaxing. A couple end tables at each end of the couch had Star Trek lamps on them. The older man, which she figured was this MacGyver, was pacing by the desk, playing with a foot long metal model of the General Lee, black in color.

She figured the room had to be at least 150 feet long, possibly more. And at least 80 feet or more wide. The book cases that lined all the walls were only ten feet high, plus the few rows towards the back of the room, some of the shelves not even filled. The only way in was through the large door she entered in. A skylight above, plus a large set of windows several feet above the bookcases that lined the outer wall kept light in the room. Drapes could be pulled if necessary and a few large crystal chandleries could be turned on after dark. His desk was huge, at least ten feet wide and had some objects on it, including a model of the Starship Enterprise A. Several dozen very large cardboard boxes were by a row of book shelves that were behind the desk and not filled.

"Hello." she said politely while walking over and sitting behind the desk. "Wow, this is bigger than Integra's. Even has a hidden computer built into the top."

They all said hello back and slowly walked up.

"Not hidden anymore. How'd you even notice the thin line in the wood?" the General asked.

"I do have much better eyes, remember?"

"Can't believe I keep forgetting that."

"Wife?" the older man asked as the General nodded to her.

"I'd like to think so." Seras said with a smile

"We haven't gotten around to the ceremony parts, but we call ourselves married. Okay, I am the General." he said shaking their hands. "This is Seras, my wife."

"She looks a little young." the gray haired man stated. "Aren't you robbing the cradle?"

"I'm nineteen, but thanks for the young compliment anyway." Seras said with a closed mouth smile.

"Hmm. Strange remark coming from you. Then again, in some ways, you are correct. But you aren't him." the General said then looked at the black man. "You were either some sort of slave or you're an alien."

"I think alien. He doesn't smell like a human." Seras said catching the group off guard. "Oh, sorry. I shouldn't…"

"Don't worry Seras. Don't matter what they say, they can't do anything. Moving on, can't be her. So it must be you that's the Immortal. I'm going to guess you aren't here to fight. I don't want to fight, but I will if I have to." the General said crossing his arms as he stared at the guy with glasses. "In fact, I hate the game and try to avoid it."

"Thank god, so do I." the man with glasses said with extreme relief. "I try to avoid it as much as possible as well. I haven't even killed another Immortal in over fifty years."

"Then we have nothing to worry about." the General said relaxing. "So….you've gotten a lot older from the last time I saw you Mac. Who are your friends?"

The group looked at the graying haired man.

"You've have to forgive me, but I don't have any clue who you are." he said with some fear in his voice, though only the General, Teal'c, and Seras noticed.

"Mac, we spent a year together in Asia. Did you hit your head again? Or roll that Jeep?"

"His name is not Mac, it's Jack." the man with glasses said. "Mine is Doctor Daniel Jackson. This is Murray, Major Samantha Carter and that's Colonel Jack O'Neill."

"If I was to toss the gun in my desk to you, what would you do with it…Jack?"

"Is this a trick question?" he asked confused.

"No. Seriously, what would you do?"

"Exam it maybe? What do you want me to do with it? Why are…"

"Does he use guns a lot Major?"

"We, both do." she said confused. "Not a lot, I mean…but…"

"Well, well, well." the General said with a small smirk. "Does the name Mac even sound familiar to you?"

"No." Jack said shaking his head while lying through his teeth. Only the three noticed the lie and Teal'c raised his eyebrow, though Jack ignored him. "Why should it?"

"Never mind. I mistaken you for someone else. Sorry. When you've been around as long as I have, you tend to find people who look like people you knew at one time. I once came across someone who looked like my double. Very strange experience, more for him than me because of what I am." the General said seeing the mans eyes was saying to back off. "Are you here on Immortal business at all then Doctor Jackson? I was rather busy in England when I was called home. I'm grateful for some good excuse to come home since it has been a few years and I do need to go through all those boxes, but I was really busy."

"Um, no." he said pushing his glasses up. "Nothing to do with us personally."

"I'm guessing they already know since they haven't said anything. And if they don't, they are in for a shocking surprise. So, how old are you?"

"Little over five hundred, died at the age of 34, why? How old are you?"

"Well…let's just say, I didn't see the man, but I heard from others about Jesus's teachings. I don't follow them to the letter, but I did try and still do my best. Died at the age of 25." he said then frowned as he looked away. "To this day I wonder if I would be different in any way if I had lost my virginity before dying or not. I know it is different for females if it happens…."

He got stared at during his rambling, however, Daniel didn't catch the last part because he was to focused on what the General said first.

"Methos…" Daniel muttered.

"No. I'm not him." the General said quickly. "And we're not on good terms. He's shorter and has a paler face, less hair and a bit older. Plus, I was never one of the 4 Horsemen and I actually avoided them as much as possible. Okay Colonel, or do you care to be called Jack?"

"Jack will do." he said casually while still being really guarded.

"Let's talk then." he said as they all went over to the couches and chairs. "And you need to relax Jack before you burst an artery or something."

"I've tried to tell him that many times…" Daniel said trailing off.

He took one sitting next to Seras while Jack and Sam sat in the couch to his right with the other two on their left. Henry came back in with a few different drinks plus water, put them on the table and then left.

"I got called, a few days ago about something I had that the Air Force wanted. I don't own any military planes and I doubt you're looking to buy my yacht. Correction, I own a SR-71 Blackbird, retired, but can't fly it since it is parked out back in a hanger with a few other, interesting things. So it must be something in this house. Unless you're here to get my tank, which I am not giving up. I had to go through many channels and pay a lot of money to get that fully intact. And I only run it around here, but don't shoot anything."

"Tank?" Carter and Jack asked together.

"Okay, not that you're after. What is it then?"

"Yeah, you bought something several years back, according to the records at the auction house in Texas. It's very old and we can compensate…." Daniel began before the two could continue to ask about the tank and plane.

"Money I have. How about you tell me what it is and why you want it."

"That's classified." Jack said quickly.

"Well. Then it is even more important that I thought." he said sitting back. "On any normal person, they might have just given up. But me, you said that way to quickly, which means it is something that you don't want the public to know about, but I more than likely know about with my advanced years and knowledge, yet you don't want me to remember or ask about. What is it I have? I have quite a few things that the public isn't suppose to know about. Not to mention I've seen things the government doesn't want people to know about and thankfully doesn't know I know about. The two hundred miles to a gallon carburetor is one example."

"We can't tell you…." Jack began. "Wait two hundred…"

"The oil companies and gas business would have a lot of trouble if people didn't have to buy it as much. End up being more supply than demand."

"When you put it that way, yeah. But…" Jack began again.

"Why are you wearing that cap? Baldness is in now." the General said ignoring Jack.

Teal'c looked really confused.

"He means today's style Teal'c. Like clothes you see on teenagers. One day it is this color and design and the next it is a different color and probably no designs." Daniel said.

"Teal'c. Very interesting name." the General said rubbing his chin.

"I thought it was Murray." Seras said. "They are hiding a lot."

"Okay, look. We came here to get….this object. We can't tell you want it is, what it is for or even if you'll get it back. Daniel is trying to be polite, but I don't usually do things that way when it aggravates my nerves. Like now. So either we can do this the easy way or the hard…"

"Colonel, I admire your courage and can see in your eyes that you are a battle hardened warrior, but even if you brought a contingent of men in here, you still couldn't defeat us. Daniel here probably is good with a sword, but I can easily see I am much better, especially with the stuff I have been doing lately and training this lady here. I am a master at duel wielding and use a sword bigger than I am. And Seras here is much better than me, in many ways."

"I didn't come here to help fight any of your battles." she said holding up her hands.

"I didn't expect to have any either." the General said as he knew she meant she wasn't helping because it wasn't and Immortal matter. "I didn't expect this, much less meeting another Immortal. I still don't even know what it is they want."

"Colonel O'Neill." Teal'c stated.

"What?"

"I do not believe she is human. Her eyes are not normal and she does not breath."

Seras sat back further in the couch next to him and whispered something that only the General caught. For everyone, the silence was uncomfortable as Jack looked at Sam who shook her head as he whispered something to her.

"Okay, new deal. You tell me what you want, what it is and what for. Then I may give it to you. Otherwise, I go back to England and take it with me."

"You can't take everything…." Jack began.

"You're after something small. I've deduced that much. And I've heard about you and even went to a couple of your lectures Doctor Jackson. I can't think of…correction, I can only think of one reason that comes to mind as to why Indiana Jones here would be working for the U.S. government. That was a compliment." he said quickly as Daniel began to say something. "Good man by the way, terribly afraid of snakes. Whatever it is, it can't be big and it can't be a book since I've read everything in here….well, except for some of the sci-fi and manga books I've been meaning to get to. You wouldn't be here fussing if it was over a book. Which leads me to believe you want something from…my very private collection. Dealing with, alien artifacts perhaps? Which I'm damned sure he is."

Teal'c sat up a little straighter while the other two barely pulled off the look, 'this man is went out there crazy'. Daniel however flinched.

"I knew it. Which ones are out there still hmm? I've been around long enough I've seen and talked to a few. I forgot what we call the Roswell grays, call themselves. Been awhile since that little gray guy came back and talked too. So, what is it you want? I probably can tell you want it is and does."

Daniel pulled a paper from his pocket as Jack started to stop him.

"Jack, he's been around for a long time. He already knows."

"Knows what?" Jack exclaimed as the General looked at the paper.

"Actually, I don't really know what this says. I forgot how to read the language a long time ago. There is quite a few I've forgotten. You must have noticed it on my web site I put it on shortly after I got it." he said tossing the paper on the table. "I've got another one too. But it is one I wrote a long time ago, on a tablet as well. I forgot why I did it though. So Teal'c, you're not human either. What are you?"

That startled everyone but Seras. The other three started to say something when he waved a hand.

"She can tell. I trust her more than I trust anyone. Well, with the exception of the people working here too. The point is I don't know you people. But I'm willing to take her word for it and bet everything I own and have, including my life he is not human." he said pointing. "So either start telling me the truth or else get out of my house."

"Fine, you're right….."

"Daniel!" Jack exclaimed.

"He's not human. He's Jaffa…."

"Daniel?!"

"What is she then?" Daniel asked pointing at Seras.

"Wow." he said shocked. "I have not heard that word in a long time. If it weren't for that troubles way back then, that name would have eluded me. Plus, since the humans race isn't enslaved and the Immortals aren't being chased down, I guess the…..whatever the enemy was called…they liked to impersonate our gods…"

"Goa'uld." Teal'c stated.

"Yeah." he said snapping his fingers as the Colonel ran his hands over his face. "Haven't heard that word in a long time either. After all this time, they are still out there? I knew they had long life spans, for ugly snakes. I was hoping they died out centuries after they left Earth. Too bad they didn't leave their ships."

"Indeed."

"We're still battling them and have saved the Earth a few times." Daniel said. "That tablet you have might be able to help us."

"You found the ring at Giza? That thing was so damn cool! Always wanted to try it. Hated it when they buried it. I tried to have it brought to me many years ago, but it wasn't there anymore. Guess the military found it before I could get it. Where is it?"

"The Stargate is in a hidden location." Jack said quickly. "That you aren't telling him about Daniel. To hell with any rules, codes or honor among Immortals stuff."

"He pisses the enemy off constantly, doesn't he? Plus his superiors?"

"Oh, very often. He's a equal opportunity offender." Daniel said as he saw Sam hide a smile.

"And he still has you three as friends?" he asked as Jack's face hardened. "Trust me, I've seen and heard worse."

"Can we get the tablet, and perhaps the other as well?" Daniel asked.

"Yeah, I don't care. They are being used for a good reason." he said finishing his water. "You are using it to help other's and not…"

"Yeah, we don't go forth and conquer." Daniel said quickly.

"Good. How long have you been using it?" he asked standing up.

"Oh, five years, give or take." Daniel muttered.

"You did not answer Daniel Jackson's question." Teal'c stated.

"Which one?" Jack asked.

"About the girl." Sam stated. "I am curious as well. She isn't breathing."

"Indeed."

"You want to…" he asked her.

"No, you first. Just know, if they try anything, I won't kill them. I didn't come here to use my abilities to fight humans, or aliens. I'm not even an American. My Visa is temporary. I don't want to be kicked out of the country permanently. Plus have Sir Integra mad at me. I'd rather not get in trouble with the American government only for them to find out what I am and cause problems that might get my ass sealed."

"Understandable. Any of you even heard of the word, Nosferatu?"

The others seemed confused though Daniel had fright across his face.

"That's impossible." he muttered. "They all died or where killed many years…"

"No. Vampires exist, I mean still exist Doctor Jackson. I work with two of them. But know three others that are living in England and living in sight of everyone. Mel'thena owns a bar of sorts several blocks away from Downing Street. Very nice lady, been around for over a hundred years. Very few people even know what she is despite the fact she is only open during the night. At least I think that is still the case considering what she likes to do." he said unsure. "If you ever go to England, do go there unless you like whorehouses. Other than that, it is the best place in England, hands down, to get pretty much any alcoholic drink in the world, including moonshine."

It took the group a moment to processes the fact they weren't being lied to, especially after Daniel said he thought they died out years ago and still looked scared.

"A vampire is running a bar?" Jack asked confused. "They actually exist? Not fairy tales to scare children? How do we know you're not making this up?"

Seras smiled and they noticed the long fangs. Plus her eyes turning to slits and a sort of dark aura surrounded her and made them all get goose bumps from the creepy feeling.

"We can't eat, but we can drink, just about anything. Things like V8 are a no though, plus water." she said pulling back the power she was releasing. "I hate doing that."

"Mel'thena loves to drink. I rarely see her without some drink." the General said. "If it wasn't for the fact she's already dead, her liver would have died a million times over."

"She must have hangovers a lot." Daniel said.

"No actually. Or at least, last time I saw her, she was….technically sober." he said thinking. "She doesn't drive so. And she just teleports to wherever she wants to be. She drinks alcohol like I eat chocolate."

"Wait, how do they get blood then?" Carter asked. "They get their power from blood, right?"

"Yes, we have to drink blood to survive." Seras said with obvious disgust. "Yes, I hate drinking it and wish I didn't have to, but I wanted to live so I accepted my Master's offer and was made into his fledgling. We get blood from blood banks."

"As does Mel'thena. Enough money and you can keep people's mouths shut with ease." the General said as he got up and walked over to one of the book shelves near them. "Currently, Seras gets her blood from me or the banks."

Daniel cringed visibly.

"Don't worry. I'd rather walk out in the sun than take blood from anyone here. Well, except him of course." she said seeing Daniel's fright. "I've never forced myself on anyone and I hope to never do so."

"Daniel?" Jack asked.

"I don't know about today's Immortals, but hundreds of years ago, each new Immortal was told about vampires and to run away if they came across them. Since we can heal so well, they can suck us dry and then after a couple of days, we'd be back to normal and they could drink again. Some Immortals could heal quicker than others. I heard about an Immortal that was captured and drank from for about a week. His mind shut down, but his body kept living. The vampire was killed and then the Immortal was also killed, by another Immortal. The images were so terrifying, that Immortal killed themselves shortly afterwards. We've always been taught we are nothing but exceptional prey to them and to avoid them unless we had silver or blessed weapons." he said with a shudder at some of the memories of stories that came back.

"Oh god." Carter muttered. "Wait, we're in the sunlight in here. Shouldn't you be turning to dust or burning or something?"

"Indeed." Teal'c said as they noticed Seras wasn't burning.

"Normal blood just keeps them alive. Immortal blood gives them extra power if you will. Such as greater healing, the ability to walk in the sunlight. I think there was a few others, but I don't really remember all the details." Daniel said. "Think of it in terms like, nuclear power and Naquada power. Both power but one is much stronger and more volatile, or one can only work on certain things while the other can power just about anything..."

"I get Daniel." Carter said.

"He let's you…um…" Jack asked gently to her.

"Drink from me? Yes. Another ability is they can go over water or even get in it if they drink Immortal blood." the General said looking through a few of his books. "Where is that? God, I haven't opened this in years I forgot which one. I think it was a big book, no, maybe it was little….no, wait, here it is."

The desk lifted into the air about six feet showing a tunnel leading down.

"I let her do so willingly. And she doesn't drain me. Just enough to satisfy her need. I'd elaborate more, but it starts getting personal."

"I hate doing it, but I have little choice." she muttered as she walked over and looked down the stairs. "Carrying around a ice box with bags of blood is hard to explain."

"Where does this go?" Jack asked.

"My private room with, alien items, and other strange but old stuff." he said heading down with Seras behind him.

"What about your Master? And what is his name?" Daniel asked as they continued down.

"He would drink from just about anyone. Thankfully, he is on a, leash." the General said.

"He's been sealed? I thought that ability was lost long ago." Daniel said surprised.

"No. I was told I would get sealed as well if I stepped out of line. So I'm doing everything possible to keep in her good graces. I have much more freedom than Master does." Seras said as the General opened a door at the bottom of what had to have been a two story walk. "Which is why I am here. Please, don't tell anyone else about me."

"No problem. I admit I find you scary, but since you aren't the typical vampire, which I am happy to see, I'm not worried. We both have secrets we don't want known to the world. So, what's his name?" Daniel asked as they entered a large room that had lots of lights showing different items inside single glass cases. "Wow, I recognize some of this stuff."

"So do I." Jack said.

"We can't tell you his name. Just telling you the small amount of info we have about us and vampires could get us in serious trouble. But seeing as I am cooperating by handing over this tablet, I am hoping you don't tell anyone about our conversation like she asked." the General said as he looked around. "Where did I put that damned tablet?"

"Sir." Carter said pointing at a glass case three rows down.

"Where did you acquire this?" Teal'c asked as he looked inside.

"That, a couple thousand years ago. Maybe longer. It's been dead for years though. I forget the name. Z…something."

"We call it a zat gun." Daniel said.

"Shorter. I'm keeping it though. I paid a lot for it considering back then, and it saved me many times. Especially when it came to hunting, until it ran out of power. Oh, it's over there." he said walking over to another case and putting a security code in. "Here is both of them."

"This seems way to easy." Jack said.

"You're saving the world so people can live longer, despite their obliviousness to the fact they aren't alone in the universe. I've been around a long time and want to live a lot longer, especially with her. You could put it this way, like I do, I found someone I can spend time with until time ends."

"Daniel…" Jack began.

"Well, I'm going to have to take it back to the base to translate it. Can you read them at all?"

"I forgot. It's been so long. All I know is that I was taking notes at one time and that's what that tablet of mine says is old notes I've forgotten. I know I was getting help from the….I can't remember their names. Who are the Roswell grays?"

"The Asguard. Who did you meet?" Daniel asked as Jack sighed.

"Okay, now we officially have to have them both sign forms to keep quiet." Jack muttered. "I'd rather not have Thro come along and trouble happen because he beams his and her ass aboard while they are in another country."

"Made friends with Thor? That alone makes me respect you all even more. Besides, I've signed a lot of forms over the years, what's one more?" he said with a shrug. "Loki, I remember that much. I know he was doing something with genetics and did test on me, but, I don't think he got anywhere."

"Loki…Norse god of mischief…" Daniel began.

"I know who he is, or was. I just couldn't remember his people's name. Anyway, I was helping him thousands of years ago when he was here studying humans and we were looking at some writings of some Ancient civilization. At the time, I could read them a little better than he could. I don't remember why though." the General said scratching his head. "I can't even begin to tell you what it might even say."

"The Asguard have been around a long time Jack. They probably came across Ancient technology many times. This is Ancient writings, but…this could take awhile." Daniel said looking over the two tablets. "Do you have any…."

"Other than it is the original thing me and Loki were looking at, no clue. He scanned it into his ship and then let me have it to look over. I gave up shortly after he left since I had no one to talk to about it and other interest came along."

"No clue at all?" Jack asked. "I'm only asking because we may have to call you back to help us if we can't figure anything out."

"I may be an American citizen, but you can't force me to help you. I retired from active service when I left Vietnam. I know work for the Queen."

"You'd still be in the system then." Carter said. "In which case, seeing as we deal with alien things everyday, we could have you reinstated."

"Can they do that?" Seras asked.

"Yes. One day I just quit cashing my pension checks and they never came to check on me, probably thinking I'm dead. I actually meant to check on my status, just never got around to it." the General said with his arms crossed. "I should have known not doing something sooner would come back and bite me in the ass."

"They probably thought you died if you left where you were living before. Changing your name…" Daniel said.

"I don't know my real name. I've been going by the name, General, for so long, that's what I still use. You'd be surprised at how many people don't seem to notice Immortals on paper if you do what I have done, changing the last name over and over, but keeping the first. Best not to look me up and reinstate me, I'd outrank you people if you did."

"What rank, just in case we end up having to reinstate?" Jack asked.

"Brigadier General or higher. Everyone else kept dying around me and on our first deployment, by day three, I was in charge. By the time the war was over, I was in charge of lots of men. Served in the Korean war too before trying to hide away from everyone. Faking that…what do they call it now, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder isn't all that hard. But knowing what you all do…."

The General looked up thinking hard.

"I think the tablet talks about a city, but that could have been something else we were working on. Beyond that, I know nothing else."

"This is a Jaffa stun grenade." Teal'c stated. "Does it still function?"

"Yes. I quit using it after it took me three days to find it the last time I used it. That was a good hundred years ago. I want to keep this, I'm been meaning to study it and never have gotten around to it even though I did open it once. Technology has gotten high enough I think I can reverse engineer it now."

"Hey, a broken staff weapon." Jack said looking in another clear box. "I haven't seen one broken before. Does it still work?"

"Whatever that yellow stuff inside is called…"

"Naquada." Carter said.

"There is enough to see in the small vial, but it's almost totally gone."

"This looks like one of those small hand held video game systems they used to make before the Gameboy's." Seras said.

"I noticed that as they started coming out on the market. However, whatever its true function is, I don't know. It doesn't work. I found it in a cave system along with other writings similar to that tablet. Don't ask Doctor Jackson, the cave system is under water and ice and has been for at least a century, no, more than that." he said looking at the whitish device under the glass.

"Antarctica?" Carter asked.

"Yeah. How'd you guess?"

"We found another Stargate down there." she said with a shudder.

"I haven't went back there in a long time. I actually try to avoid the snow because I hate it. Being buried alive for a couple months was no fun." he said shuddering. "I haven't seen snow for at least five years now. I hate snow and cold."

"And yet you still sleep with me."

"You're different and not that cold."

"Avalanche happen?" Daniel asked.

"Yes."

"I got away thankfully." he said with a smile.

"Lucky you. Don't rub it in though. I guess we are done here." he said rubbing his hands together. "I'd like to show Seras around more, amongst other things before I go back to England."

"You're going to have to come with us first in order to sign those forms." Jack said as the General groaned. "Hey, look at it this way, you can see the gate. Learned just about everything else."

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea. You can see the country side and such as we go."

"Works for me." Seras said with a smile. "I slept the entire time here after we landed."

The two followed SG-1 to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, she driving one of his 67 Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500s. The guards were a little skeptical, but after Jack explained part of the situation, Hammond ordered SG-1 to bring them to the briefing room. They followed through the checkpoints and got onto the elevator to the 28th level, no one saying anything. That was until Seras, who had been glancing around at different things and making small comments, such as that looks nice or cool or interesting, looked up and then moved to the elevator door placing her ear against it as they traveled to level 28.

"What are you doing?" Jack asked after begin pushed out of the way.

"I heard a bunch of men running around and weapons being made ready.." she said stepping back to the back of the elevator with the General.

"I don't hear the alarm." Carter said.

"Maybe it is a drill?" Daniel said.

"We'll find out as soon as the door opens and we can ask…." Jack was saying when the lift stopped and the door opened to several dozen rifles being pointed in their direction. "Whoa, hey fella's. What is going on?"

Everyone had their hands up as Jack asked.

"Reynolds, anything you want to share?" Jack asked.

"That depends on how bad you have been compromised sir." he said holding his weapon at ready. "Our orders are to ensure none of you leave the elevator or go anywhere until Hammond gets here to find out what's going on."

"And that would be…" Jack began.

"I'm pretty sure this is all her fault." Daniel said nodding his head.

"My fault?" Seras asked placing her hand on her chest. "What makes you…"

"Right, I completely forgot." the General said smacking himself in the forehead. "There is camera's watching everything in this place. We are going into a high security facility. I totally spaced it…"

"So…..oh." Seras said in understanding as she realized most of the guns were pointed at her. "I should have stayed back at the house until you got back. I forgot that I don't show up on cameras. Sorry guys."

"Daniel…." Carter began confused as the men pointing the guns looked at Seras confused at her apology and sweet smile.

He leaned over and whispered into Carter's ear what was going on.

"Oh, right. I completely spaced that possibility too."

"Can I be let in on this huddle?" Jack asked.

"If there was mirrors in here Colonel, how many people would you see?" Seras asked.

"Six."

"The answer is five Jack. Remember what she is?" Daniel said.

"Oh, right….." he said remembering the movies he used to watch and the theories. "Works on cameras too?"

"Colonel O'Neill. Can you explain to me why security says they can't find that woman there on their screens? And it better be a good explanation otherwise you'll all be the brig until I get a answer that sounds right." Hammond ordered as he walked up.

"Um, ah….well…."

"She's not human sir." Daniel said. "Considering her true nature, it would be better if we told you what she was in private."

"I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you and your people sir. I completely forgot about what happens when I am near cameras." Seras said with a small bow. "I promise I am no threat to this base or its people."

"This is also my fault sir. I should have remembered and told the team here in the first place." the General said.

"No one is going anywhere, but to the brig in several seconds unless I get good explanation….."

"Sir Integra is going to love this." Seras muttered before stepping forward and getting all the guns pointed at her. "You can't see me in mirrors or on cameras, much less take any pictures sir, because I am dead. Undead technically."

They all got looks from the guards and General Hammond that made them think the lady had lost her mind or something close and possibly influenced SG-1.

"Dead? I've seen a lot of zombie movies and other horror shows with walking dead, but you don't even come close lady." Reynolds said.

"I'd rather not reveal what little I know of my true powers. One because I hate having to use the abilities for worthless reasons and to, it expends my power, making hunger come to me much quicker. Something I'd rather avoid." she said uneasily.

"I'm sorry miss, but until you can give me a…." Hammond began.

Seras asked for one of their knives on their belts, which Hammond had a airman give over after Jack said go ahead, where she easily crushed it into a ball of metal before handing it back, letting General Hammond feel her hand to see there was no pulse and that she was cold, plus the fangs she bared and let grow past her bottom lip.

"Is that demonstration enough for you General?" she asked politely. "I don't want to hurt, kill or suck anyone dry, but if I was injured enough or forced to wait to long to have to feed, I could loose control and would rather not since I have been able to keep control since I became this way."

"We can't blame them for this happening." the General said stopping her as she started to go on. "If it wasn't for Integra and the Queen knowing who and what you are, you would have been attacked on the Palace ground that day. We both work for the Queen to stop typical vampires and other evils that are usually known as myths or storybook fables."

"Our main job is to fight against vampires though." she said.

"She's a vampire?!" Hammond exclaimed. "That's impossible!"

"I'm Immortal sir." Daniel said. "I never said anything about my past in this regard, but there used to be a lot of vampires around at one point. But that was hundreds of years ago. He's also an Immortal and been around a lot longer than even I."

"I'm really sorry for the trouble we've caused here. The Colonel and his team offered to give us a brief tour after filling out some forms in exchange for me giving up the tablets that Doctor Jackson wanted." the General said.

"Colonel…."

"He already knew about the Stargate sir. The Jaffa, Goa'uld and even the Asguard. Daniel began telling them more as he asked questions, so…." Jack said shrugging. "I would have had them fill out the forms and swear to never say anything, on scouts honor, cross the heart…"

"I get the picture Colonel. Men stand down and return to your stations."

The guards did so a little reluctantly and started off.

"What just happened here people, we don't talk about." Hammond ordered. "That is what you would prefer miss?"

"Yes please. Sir Integra would probably stick me in sealed room for a week or more as punishment if she found out…"

"Sorry to tell you this Seras, but Alucard probably already told her."

Her arms and the rest of her slumped with a defeated look as she hung her head.

"Damn, I didn't think about that. I hear him laughing, but I don't know if he said anything." she said sadly. "We are so busted."

"Alucard…..no way." Daniel said stepping out of the elevator with fear. "Abraham Van Hellsing killed him."

The two quickly waved their hands and made slashing motions across their throats to the shocked, surprised and slightly amused looks of the others at their antics.

"Not all of history is correct." the General said quickly. "I can't go into details, mostly because I don't know them all. The point is, he stills around, but on a very, very tight leash. To the rest of the world, he is dead and gone. Let's keep it that way."

"Dracula lives?" Jack muttered with horror. "King of the vampires…"

"Okay people, enough. Obviously these issues have nothing to do with us, despite how unbelievable they seem to be. Unless by some strange chance that our two organizations end up having to help each other, I suggest we do not talk about our real jobs anymore." Hammond said. "And if what I know about vampires is true, going over water is difficult for them. So I don't think we have much to worry about. They just said he is on a leash and has been for awhile I reckon, so it would seem we are safe."

"I agree sir." Carter said. "I'm not sure I would want to hear how much more is actually out there other than aliens."

"Just how long has your master been sealed?" Daniel asked.

"Well before I was born from what I understand and I'm nineteen." Seras said.

"With that many years having gone by and no one knows about vampires, especially him still around, I doubt we have anything to worry about." Hammond said. "Let's go to the briefing room people."

Once there, Hammond explained more of the reasons why they needed to fill out the forms and Daniel gave them a run down about the Stargate like he did every newcomer to the base.

"Wow. Makes me wonder if vampires originated on Earth or came from some other planet." Seras said. "Along with the other creatures out there."

"It's possible even though we haven't found any proof." Daniel said.

"I haven't seen or heard anything either about how they started if you are about to ask." the General said. "If by some unfortunate chance that the Hellsing Organization falls, or we manage to actually complete our mission to the fullest, we could work here next."

"Seeing as we are both capable of living forever, eventually we'll be able to go through it." she said with a sigh.

"I'm guessing we couldn't get a…"

Hammond shook his head slowly.

"The cost alone for powering it up makes it hard to keep this place running sometimes. To many people on the hill have no idea what really happens and it keeps us from getting the full funding we really need."

"And there is a lot of people in Washington, that if they really knew what was going on, would probably fire most of the people here and change the policy from, seeking help and aid while providing it the best we can to going forth and conquering for personal gain." Daniel said.

"I can understand that more than you know. The few people who know what we do want to have Sir Integra change her policy and become much more stricter in getting rid of the evils out there."

The alarms started blaring loudly making the two jump.

"Unscheduled off world activation! Repeat, unscheduled off world activation! General Hammond to the control room."

As everyone was getting up quickly.

"Can we come, we'll stay out of the way." the General asked.

"Doctor Jackson, keep a watch on them."

They all went down the stairs nearby and the three stayed more toward the back watching.

"Walter?" Hammond asked.

"Receiving I.D.C sir. It's SG-7."

"Open the Iris."

It opened a couple injured men came through dropping at the end of the ramp. SG-1 and Hammond came down quickly as a medical team was called. The General and Seras stayed up in the room near the computers looking down through the glass.

"Wow, that looks cool. Not the injured people I mean." he said after getting looks.

"One of them is badly injured." she muttered with her hand under her nose.

"Making you hungry?" the General asked.

"A little. I'll be fine."

"Colonel, what happened? Where is the rest of your team and SG-5?" Hammond asked.

"We were ambushed by a contingent of Jaffa sir." the Colonel said as he watched the doctors check over his injured Lieutenant. "We managed to make it to the gate when the Jaffa caught up. The rest of my team and SG-5 are taking cover in a nearby cave. We came back to get reinforcements. The Lieutenant was hit as we were entering the gate sir."

"Colonel…" Hammond began.

"My team will be ready in a few minutes sir, just give the word." Jack said.

"Go, and have Reynolds team accompany you." Hammond said.

"I wish to return to help my men as well sir." the other Colonel said as SG-1 left.

"Are you injured Colonel?"

"Other than a little tired from running, I am just fine."

"Very well. Follow SG-1 and let them know you're going with." he said before going back into the control room and informing Walter to get ready to redial the planet.

"What do we do?" the General asked.

"The paper work has all been filled out, and I don't see any reason to keep you here. I'll have a airman escort you back up top." Hammond said waving to a man nearby. "Since we are in the middle of an emergency, we can try talking more over the phone or at a later time."

They were almost to the elevator when SG-1 and Reynolds team were coming towards them, all fitted up with off world gear. All of them had vest on and PC-90's and wearing their SGC BDU's.

"Would you like to go to another planet?" he whispered to her.

"Of course. I think it would be really cool. Why…." she began.

"Hey Colonel O'Neill, I know this is a bad time…." the General began.

"Very bad. We'll try to meet up for a barbeque or something on another day." he said walking by with everyone.

"My point is we can help."

SG-1 stopped as Reynolds team walked past and then also turned around.

"He's right Jack. They would be a great help. No offense to either of you, but you'll both survive any attacks. The Goa'uld don't even have any silver, unless it is jewelry so you wouldn't have anything to worry about." Daniel said.

"They are civilians though." Jack said as he began to turn around.

"No they are not Jack. They work for the Queen of England, remember? Technically, they fight worse enemies."

"Daniel's right sir. He's an Immortal like Daniel and she's…pretty much the same." Carter said. "If not better considering…"

"They do want to go through the gate and their help would be beneficial." Daniel said. "Never know, we could do an exchange…."

"We'll see what Hammond says. Come on."

They got to the gate room and Jack informed Hammond of the idea.

"Technically sir, they can take care of themselves. And if something does happen to them, they'll heal up anyway so…."

"That is true of him, but being what she is…"

"I can dodge bullets sir." Seras said.

"Say what?" several people asked.

"Look at that ramp out there…"

"What?" several people said.

One moment she was standing in the stairway with SG-1 inside the control room and then next she was standing on the ramp at the bottom of the gate. The next moment she was standing near the General again. It took several moments for everyone to process what they saw.

"Watch them carefully anyway. I want no heroics from either of you. I don't know how you operate in England, but here, I want you to follow Colonel O'Neill's orders. And I'm only doing this against my better judgment because we have people out there that need help."

They both stood at attention and saluted.

"Yes sir." the two said.

"SG-1 and Reynolds team will head out while you stay behind until they get fitted."

"Yes sir." the other Colonel said.

"I can make use of any gun, a couple P-90's will work fine for me. Get the most powerful sniper rifle, longest range preferable for her and lots of ammo. We won't need the vest or anything else. My coat is totally bullet proof to the point ammo piercing ammo won't even get through. She, well…moves to fast to get hit."

Hammond had the things quickly brought up and then they followed the Colonel through.

The Colonel walked away from the gate and got down looking around. He noticed SG-1 and Reynolds team nearby hiding.

"For being dead, that was cold!" Seras said rubbing her arms. "General, how about……General?"

The group came up to find him puking off to the side.

"Sorry, forgot to warn you about the side effects of using the gate." Daniel said as he handed him his canteen.

"I think I threw up last nights dinner. I haven't been so nauseated in my life." he said before washing his mouth out. "I have been on roller coasters, tossed boats at sea and military plane rides that have had less effect."

"Can you function?" Jack asked.

"I'll be fine Colonel. Let's go."

They arrived a few minutes later at the cave and all of them were on the ground kneeling by trees. Jack got his binoculars out and started looking around as they kept watch.

"None of your people are in there. And I don't smell any humans around other than us, or human blood. But I do smell blood, it's just different."

"How far can you see?" Jack asked.

"A bug of some sort is climbing on the wall in that cave. There is a lot of bullet casings on the ground inside, but no movement." Seras said. "Hang on."

Everyone jerked but the General as she suddenly vanished.

"I guess those scorch marks around the walls of the cave are from energy weapons?" the General asked.

"Indeed. They are from Jaffa staff weapon fire."

"Nice."

Everyone jumped slightly when she suddenly appeared by a tree near them.

"No one is inside sir. I however see movement of men in strange metal armor in those trees and bushes to the right of the cave."

"Thanks…um.."

"Just Seras."

"Thanks Seras. At least we don't have to worry about an ambush. They didn't see you…"

"Doubtful sir. None of you even noticed me move."

"Warn us next time when you decide to move quickly again."

"Yes sir, sorry."

"I'm really beginning to like her." Jack muttered as he looked through his binoculars at the location she said. "Yep, there's a few hiding, but not so well. Did you see how many are there Seras?"

"I saw a dozen that I could sense and count. But I think there is…." she said and then looked behind them. "Enemy movement from behind. I count over two dozen armored troops."

"Damn, they must have been watching the gate." Reynolds said.

They all hit the ground as a couple staff blast slammed into the tree near them.

"Permission to return fire sir!" Seras asked.

Jack waved a hand as he got to his knees and fired off with everyone following shortly after. They were unfortunately stuck in the open, except for about six trees they were hiding by, about three feet or more in width. Several more staff blast hit around them as they kept firing.

"Teal'c, who are they?!" Jack yelled over the gun fire.

"I believe they belong to Bastet O'Neill."

"Cat goddess…."

"Not now Daniel!"

"Enemy troops near the cave have been eliminated sir." Seras said as she swung the rifle around to aim at the others.

The SGC personal looked that direction for a moment and then turned to the other troops.

"Head for the cave, Seras provide cover fire."

"I'll do the same." the General said firing the two P-90's.

The group ran off quickly, firing every so often. Seras and the General began backing up as the enemy got closer. Even though she was a great shot, it wasn't a automatic sniper rifle meaning she had to manually eject the shell each time.

"I wish I had my Hallconnen cannon." she said firing another round. "Ah damn!"

"Out of ammo already?!" he said tossing one empty gun aside and reloading the other.

"I broke the damn thing when I pulled too hard. Now I remember why Walter makes different guns for me and Master." she said tossing it aside.

The General came out from behind the tree and fired off rapidly with good aim, taking out a few Jaffa while she was reloading the other P-90 he dropped. He got four more Jaffa before taking three hits from some staff weapon blast. Though his coat was designed to protect him from being shot, energy weapons weren't part of the original idea for protecting against. He dropped to the ground screaming as he tried to rip the front of the coat off. She quickly tossed him over her shoulder and fired while running for the cave, but stopped quickly as she noticed everyone was on the ground. They weren't dead or bleeding from what she could smell and sense but there was a round ball of some sort she had seen before recently on the ground near the group. A strange noise caught her attention and she looked up to see blue electrical thing coming at her, sort of like lightening, but less bright and not as big. It engulfed her and the General twitched a moment before sliding off her shoulder unconscious. Another blast of the strange energy hit her but didn't do anything. She got the man above her in her sights and put a couple bullets in his head. He fell off the cliff face and dropped in front of the cave as another strange energy blast hit her from behind and she turned to find over two dozen fully armored Jaffa behind her, each with their staff weapons pointed at her. She tossed the gun aside and was about to charge into them when something very hard hit her in the back of the head. She dropped to her knees and before she could try to stand again, another hit knocked her out.

There was someone, or a couple people talking as he slowly woke up. He couldn't really make out the words, but one was a woman and possible two men. The General was slowly blinking away the numbing feeling as the words became more coherent.

"I am not checking her out sir. Forget it."

"It's an order Carter."

"Write me up for insubordination then. When she is awake, I don't mind. From what little I know, I think we would get on rather well. However, I have seen enough vampire movies that you don't touch them when they are, asleep."

"She was probably knocked unconscious."

"Same difference sir."

"I think we should wait until the General is awake and he can check her out. We all can see there is blood on the back of her head, so she was either shot or hit really hard with something." Daniel said. "Waking an injured vampire isn't a good idea either."

"I believe the General is awake."

"How can you tell Teal'c?" Jack asked.

"He is blinking and rolling over."

"I'm awake." he said groggily as he rolled onto his back. "What the hell hit me? Kinda felt like a quickening, but different."

"One of those zat weapons." Daniel said. "I feel numb and groggy after waking up from them too."

"They took everything didn't they?" he asked sitting up.

"Yep, like always. So, what happened after we got hit with the stun grenade?" Jack asked.

"Where are we?" the General asked looking around the dark metal cell and then at the door where thick metal bars covered the way out.

"Inside a Goa'uld mothership. Brig or jail cell. Take a pick, so what happened?" Jack asked again.

"She ended up breaking the sniper rifle by accident and as I was firing, I took three hits to the chest. I haven't felt a burning like that since I was burned alive many years ago." he said rubbing his chest and seeing his damaged suit. "I know she threw me over her shoulder and started running. Despite the pain, the view was nice. And then it felt like I touched a live wire and…here we are."

"Nice view?" Carter said with a scolding tone. "You're in the middle of a fight for your lives, including ours and you were checking out her ass?!"

"Excuse me Major, but it is really none of your business what I do with her. Besides, we've been sleeping together for awhile now anyway so…" he said getting to his knees and crawling over to her.

SG-1 and the other two teams were all against the far wall while Seras was leaning against the wall near the entrance, arms at her side, head tilted down and legs slightly apart. He had been lying in the center of the room, tossed in or dropped he figured by the way he had been laying causing a slight crick in his back. When they heard what he said, they were more than shocked, except for a few of them.

"You're sleeping with a vampire!" Daniel exclaimed.

"She can't get pregnant from me so...besides. Seeing as what she is now, her choices are limited on boyfriends anyway." he said opening one of her eyes. "I didn't get together with her because she was a vampire, or out of pity. I was attracted to her and after awhile, we got closer than just talking. I was married to a vampire a long time ago. You don't strike me as the bigot type Doctor Jackson. And where the hell is this coming from anyway? We told you at my house we were married!"

"Oh. I forgot."

He snapped his fingers in her face but still got no response while shaking his head at what Jackson said.

"Come on Seras. Hmm, I wonder? Wakes her up normally." he said leaning close and whispering in her ear.

It didn't take three seconds and she snapped awake and grabbed him into a kiss so deep it practically made him melt. She was about to start removing his and her clothes when she smelled they weren't alone and that everything about the area smelled different. And then everything over the last several hours came back. She let him go and he dropped face first into her lap as she grabbed the back of her head.

"Ow! Whoever hit me must have used a baseball bat! Ugh, it takes forever to get blood out of hair." she said looking at her hand before wiping it on her pants.

He sat back up slowly and stayed kneeling in front of her because if he stood up, he was going to have problems, such as an embarrassing moment. The kiss wasn't the only thing that got blood flowing to a place other than his head. Getting dropped face first between her legs certain didn't help matters since it brought up memories. He could also tell, that it wasn't just the kiss that got her riled up too.

"You alright?" he asked putting his hand on her right shoulder.

"As long as I don't take another injury, I can hold out for several more hours. What the hell was that blue electric thing that they keep shooting me with?" she said crossing her arms over her breast. "It gave me a tingling feeling, but beyond that…."

"It's a zat gun they used on you. It knocked out the General, but obviously can't do anything to you." Carter said. "How many times did they hit you?"

"Three, maybe four."

"Wow, those are some powers then." Daniel said amazed. "Three shots usually always disintegrate the target."

"Lucky me." she muttered and then looked up and towards the door. "Someone is coming."

"Play dead.." he said pushing her to the ground.

"Not funny."

"And don't move, even if they touch you." he said as she closed her eyes.

The door opened and three Jaffa walked in as the General got to his feet. No one else moved as a couple staff weapons were pointed at them.

"Move, she is to be taken before our god."

"Why?" the General asked with a remorseful tone. "She can't do anything to you anymore."

"Explain?"

"She's dead. Which ever of you jackasses hit her, hit her hard enough it killed her."

One of the Jaffa grabbed the General by the neck and tossed him aside as another Jaffa checked her over. He touched her neck, then felt for a heartbeat on her chest. The General jumped up and knocked the staff weapon out of the Jaffa's hand and then slammed his hand into the mans nose, killing him instantly. The Jaffa at the door fired his staff weapon hitting the General in the leg while the Jaffa by Seras turned and smacked him across the face with the end of his staff weapon. Both staff weapons came up as the others had gotten to their feet.

"You shall suffer greatly for such insolence."

"Not as much as you think." the General said as he spit blood out.

"You take him." the Jaffa said pointing at the dead guard on the ground.

The dead man was taken from the room and then he turned and grabbed Seras's left arm.

"She's dead, what are you doing?!"

"Our god will revive her." he said pointed the active staff weapon at the Generals chest. "Interfere again and you too shall die, only to be revived for interrogation."

"Better off taking me instead." he said standing as he wiped his lip. "You aren't leaving here with her."

"Is that a fact? You are injured and will surely die before I return…." the Jaffa began saying when Ford jumped back and forth from foot to foot.

"Ever heard of Immortals?"

He looked down to see that the General's leg wasn't bleeding or injured. When he looked back up, a fist to his face knocked him back into the wall breaking his nose and several teeth, plus cracking his head. He started to rush forward when the other Jaffa came in and shot him with a zat. He dropped to the floor weakened and then grunted in pain as he was kicked hard in the ribs by the guy he punched.

"Leave her. We shall take this Immortal fool to our god and then return for the dead girl if our Queen demands it."

No one did anything as the General was dragged from the room and the bars came down sealing them in with the General giving a weak thumbs up.

"Oh, we are in so much trouble." Daniel grumbled as he walked over to help Seras to her feet. "Does he have some plan he said to you?"

"No." she said rubbing her arm that was yanked on.

"Daniel?"

"A Goa'uld just captured a Immortal Jack. If she manages to take him as a host, or has some other Goa'uld take him as a host, that will make them very difficult to kill."

Seras quickly laid back down on the floor as guards took station outside the door.

"Great, I have to keep playing dead or else." she muttered. "Oh well, less I move, less hungry I'll be."

"And there goes our chance for getting out of here." Daniel muttered.

"What do you mean?" Jack muttered quietly as Daniel sat back down.

"She's strong enough to rip those bars apart. However, those guards would have her shot before she could get it open. In which case, to much injury would cause her instinct to feed to kick in. No offense to her, but I'm the only one who would survive being feed off of, but I'd rather not have that happen unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Is it possible for any of us to help her?" Jack asked.

"Not unless someone in here is a virgin. Otherwise, you'd become a ghoul." she muttered. "I would rather not become that hungry that I loose control, so I suggest we wait till he comes back."

"As a Goa'uld?" Daniel said.

"We have a, telepathic link. I have some idea of what he is doing."

"So there is a rescue plan going on?" Jack asked.

"Yes." Seras muttered.

Bastet was sitting in her chair watching one of her many cats play with a toy of some sort when two Jaffa came in and tossed a man before her feet.

"Kneel before you god!"

The General got on his hands and knees and glanced around.

"Hmm, I don't see Jesus here." he said trying to get to his feet only to be hit in the back driving him to his knees.

"I asked for the girl to be brought before me, not this man!" Bastet yelled as she stood up. Her voice was slightly distorted because of the Goa'uld creature in her that talked that way. "Why have you defied your god's orders?!"

Both Jaffa got on their knees and looked at the ground just behind the General.

"She's dead. Your idiotic fools who think you're a god killed her."

She waved her hand at one of the Jaffa's before he hit the General.

"Is this true?"

"Forgive us my lord. The girl is dead. I checked herself."

"Idiots! I can bring her back from the dead like I have done to many of my followers!"

"Forgive me my lord, but his relevance seemed more important than that of a dead girl."

"Explain."

"I'm an Immortal." the General stated with a confident smile.

She gasped in surprise and stepped back, only to recover herself quickly.

"Explain why you believe this."

"My lord, he killed Sha'kaka. He was shot in the leg to prevent any more attacks and then showed us he was not injured anymore. I believe the girl was his wife or something equally close. We found him over her body and he tried to keep us from bringing her."

"Is this girl important to you?"

"Yes. She, was the love of my life." the General said standing up. "I am an Immortal. I know who you, really are. I was around when humans kicked that ass Ra off Earth. I know how you can bring her back. I'm offering myself if you don't touch her and let the rest of them go, with her body."

He saw her hand move up and strike his face, drawing blood across his cheek as he was scratched. Seeing as his suit was already damaged, he didn't care much as he wiped the blood away on his sleeve showing no scratches.

"SG-1 has been a thorn in the Goa'uld's side for far too long. I cannot and will not let them go."

"Fine. They didn't treat me and Seras all the nice to begin with anyway. At least send her back to Earth with someone in that room. If not, I won't cooperate."

"What makes you think you can fight me?" she asked with a laugh.

"I've been around for six thousand years, or more. I know how the, Goa'uld operate. You can either get me willingly, or you'll have to take my head off to stop me from fighting, even if it takes another six thousand years to get my revenge." he said leaning into her face.

She backhanded him hard enough he should have spun away and landed on one of the Jaffa. All that ended up happening was he stumbled back a few steps and turned his head back to look at her as his jaw re-healed itself. She spoke orders in Goa'uld to the Jaffa and he was hauled off to another room with her following. Several corridors later, he was placed onto a inclined table and strapped down where an opening behind his neck in the table was, meant for implantation purposes.

"You promise, on your honor as a, god, you will send her back? Swear to it or else."

Seeing as her Jaffa were present and looking at her to see what she would do, she agreed.

"Before you give up your life for your god.." she began seeing him roll his eyes. "Why are you doing this so willingly?"

One of the Jaffa opened a tank filled with water nearby waiting for her command.

"I've been around so long and seen so many friends and family die, she was the last straw. I can't take loosing someone again." he said sadly.

"Yet you would have been able to find someone again eventually, had you not spoken of your unique gift."

"Seras was unique in ways you'll never understand. Just get it over with already. Just remember, I do know about how this works and if you go back on your word, I will get back at you."

Something about this seemed too easy to her and it made her consider implanting the man before her. However, the Goa'uld had been trying to find Immortals for years. The last time an Immortal was implanted, it was back when Earth was very primitive. The implantation was a total success and that Goa'uld lived for many years, keeping his god like stature well defined even when he was challenged. That was until his head was taken off by rebels using stolen staff weapons. That event made the Goa'uld know of the weakness of the Immortals. They tried for years after that to find more Immortals, though the few they did find ended up cutting their own heads off to prevent being taken over. If this implantation was successful, she would be able to then take the body for herself shortly later and begin her reign to become head of the System Lords. Seeing as very few if any Immortals had been found on other planets, it was obvious, all she had to do was stay away from Earth to avoid the so called, Game, that the Immortals played. However, ideas of conquering Earth and taking the heads of the other Immortals on Earth soon began to run through her head making her think of the vast knowledge and experience she would gain, not to mention the prestige and fame from taking out the Tauri.

Reaching into the tank, she pulled one of the recently matured Goa'uld symbiotes out and looked at it for a few moments before going behind the table. Seeing the exposed neck, the symbiote jumped from her hand and entered quickly. The General cried out in severe pain before passing out seconds later as his eyes flashed.

"My lord, do we do as he requested of you?"

"If the implantation is successful, I will honor his request. And then shortly after his love is returned and we amass our forces, we shall conquer Earth." she said with a small laugh.

Daniel had to sit by Seras's side to ensure that she didn't turn over again in her sleep. If the guards came in, it would look strange if she was curled up. The only reason Daniel was doing it, was other than because he was the only person who could survive if she suddenly went into a blood lust rage, but because Jack ordered him to ensure their safety. Hence the guards again.

"Bastet must be torturing him a lot for information sir." Carter whispered.

"Or implanting him. Daniel…"

"I don't know Jack. I've heard a story about an Immortal being taken over once, but I know very little else beyond that. I'm not sure if it is possible." Daniel muttered quietly.

"I am unsure of where he was taken to exactly, but we have yet to hear any cries of pain." Teal'c stated.

"It's been over an hour Colonel." Reynolds said.

"Strange. Usually they've already came and started gloating and asking questions by now." Jack said. "On the bright side, we aren't be tortured."

Seras's eyes opened startling Daniel.

"Four people are headed this way, he is with them." she whispered.

"Is he still him or a Goa'uld?"

Bastet came back later, almost completely forgetting about the other prisoners. One of her Jaffa did remind her about them, but she said to leave them and keep the guards in place for now since more important matters needed to be attended to.

"Has there been any change?" she asked entering the room.

The Jaffa guard lowered his head before speaking.

"My lord. He has awoken recently and requested your presence."

The straps holding him in place broke as he got off the table. The Jaffa raised his staff weapon only to lower it as the General glared at him with glowing eyes and yelled in the Goa'uld language to stand down. The Jaffa looked at Bastet who nodded as the General knelt at her feet.

"My queen, I live to serve." he said in a strained voice, not like that of a normal Goa'uld voice.

"Your voice is not that of the Goa'uld…." she began after dismissing the Jaffa's so the two were alone.

"There were, complications with the blending my lord." he said continuing to look at the ground. "The host has immense knowledge and has been around for as many years as he spoke."

"Is he fighting back or gone?"

"The host……is gone my queen. He fought back in the beginning and then relented quickly. I do not understand why my voice is as it is. However, it shall not stop me from serving you."

"What do you know about the Tauri concerning their base? Their codes?"

"The host does not work for SG-1 my queen. He was a visitor only because he had some item that belonged to the Asguard that they wanted. He gave it over in exchange to see the Chap'pai and was granted the request. Because of his Immortal status, he offered to come to aid in the rescue. Unfortunately, the host has lost all knowledge due to time on what the Asguard tablet said. From what little I was able to find, it was nothing that would help us gain any upper hand against the hated Asguard."

"And the girl?"

"His former lover who refused to be left behind. She is, was, well trained in Tauri weapons my queen. I don't believe you should honor his request and should bring her back to torment him for fighting me. However, the host is quiet and I would prefer it if he stayed that way. His former love had no strategic or knowledgeable value that would serve us."

"She did not work with SG-1?"

"She was from a country they call England. A former law officer who quit to be with him."

"We will honor his request. You will come with to watch as she is returned to the Tauri home world through the Chap'pai. Thereby ensuring the host's willingness to continue to cooperate."

"Yes, my queen." he said with a smile she didn't see.

Everyone got up as the bars moved to allow Bastet, the General and two Jaffa guards in.

"So, how's…." Jack began.

"Silence!" Bastet yelled.

"What did you do to him?" Daniel asked.

A very sly and evil smile crossed the General's face as Bastet ordered him to tell.

"This host has given himself willingly to ensure the safety of this pathetic dead girls safe passage back to Earth." he said pointing at the body. "The fate of the rest of you is in my queens hands."

"I knew that bastard…." Jack began angrily.

"Silence!" Bastet yelled and then pointed at the red headed woman from the team that was originally taken. "You! You will return to your world with this dead woman and tell your people what has happened. The rest of you will ensure my rise in the ranks of the Goa'uld."

The redheaded lady started forward and then stopped suddenly as everyone turned to see that there was no dead body on the floor because it suddenly vanished. Four sounds of bodies hitting the floor made Bastet turn around quickly. Seras was standing outside the door, in the hallway next to the bodies of the four Jaffa as she slapped her hands together like she finished a hard job.

"It's clear." she said looking both ways.

Bastet turned to look as a hand grabbed her throat and lifted her into the air.

"Guess what bitch, the blending failed. I call it a consequence of age, or possibly a telepathic link with my vampire wife, or my vast Quickening power. Too bad for you. I've gained control shortly after getting off that damned uncomfortable table." the General said as her face began turning red as she was loosing the ability to breath as his grip tightened.

"How…" she barely gasped out while trying to lift a hand that had some jewelry over it that he grabbed with his other hand and crushed.

"I've been around for six thousand years and killed a few hundred other Immortals, giving me quite a bit of power, not to mention knowledge. My Quickening ate that pathetic snake in a matter of minutes as I took back control. Too bad I didn't get a lot of knowledge out of it before it died. I knew you wouldn't really honor my request. Sure, send her back, but go after the Earth shortly afterward, just to kill the rest of my kind. You'd only end up going back to have to find Seras wasn't actually dead. Which would cause so many problems. Goodbye."

He tossed her towards Seras who caught her and tossed her down the hallway into a wall where a sickening crunch was heard after the impact.

"So, which one of you know the way out of this dump? I want to go home and this trip wasn't as fun as I thought it would be."

"Carter…"

"I feel something, but I won't…."

"Is he a Goa'uld?" Jack asked.

"Let's go Seras. We'll find our own way out." he said grabbing a couple zat guns from the bodies. "They can stay here and debate…whatever…"

"What are those?"

He fired off one shot into a Jaffa at his feet.

"Stun, kill, disintegrate. Nice weapons, bad design." he said handing her one.

"I think we'll take those." Jack said from behind them as Teal'c and a couple of other men held the other two zats and the four staff weapons on them.

"Why?" the General asked.

"Because I don't trust you."

Seras tossed hers and Daniel caught it. He rolled his eyes and tossed his to Carter.

"Which way Teal'c?"

"This way."

They followed Teal'c around several corners and then had to hide against the wall as they heard a patrol coming.

"How many Teal'c?" Jack asked.

"Seven."

"Great, we'll have the whole ship's contingent on us…" Jack began.

"Seras, can you…" the General asked.

"No problem."

"What the…" Jack began as suddenly she wasn't there with them.

A couple shouts were heard as they also heard bodies falling or being slammed around, one of which came flying by their position into a wall. The General walked out and brushed off Jack's hand as he went around the corner and met up with Seras.

"You'll have to do this next time. I'm starting to get tired." she said wiping her hands on her pants. "And a bit hungry."

Jack and the group looked at the strewn out bodies of the seven Jaffa and then shrugged. The weapons were collected and then they followed Teal'c to a nearby room where all their equipment was.

"My coat. These are expensive." he said putting it on and seeing the sever damage. "Damn, almost melted completely through."

"Why are we here?" Seras asked.

"We need at least one of these." Carter said holding up some electronic device. "It's called a GDO. Once back at the gate, we have to use it to signal that we are coming, otherwise the Iris shield we have on our gate will be up and…"

"Splat. We're all dead." Jack said.

"GDO?" the General asked.

"Garage Door Opener." Daniel said.

The General snorted with laughter and shook his head.

"Nice, what's it really stand for?"

"That is what it stands for." Carter said.

Seras and him both cracked up as the others got their guns as well. A patrol of four men came across them, which died quickly under a hail of gun fire, Seras and the General not participating. Soon after, they found the ring room and transported down to the ground under the ship. No opposition came for them or against them as they made it to the gate, dialed home, sent the signal and went through. At least this time, the General didn't get sick, but was nauseated as he stayed knelt down on the ramp for a few moments. Seras however was brushing ice off her arms again. Everyone was sent to the infirmary, though the General was under close guard.

Four hours later……

General Hammond was down in the infirmary with SG-1 and the two guest. Though Doctor Janet Frasier was disturbed to say the least by the fact that the General let Seras get a much needed drink, she didn't stop it from happening. Mostly because Daniel said it wouldn't be a good idea to have a blood lusting vampire loose on the base. Technically, they really had no weapons to kill her. The zats proved useless already and she moved at super speeds. Seeing as the General was an Immortal, it didn't bother Janet as bad as it could have. Despite the fact she didn't want to drink in front of anyone, the doctor insisted on at least watching. So after nine seconds, she quit and back away sitting on the bed next to the General. Janet saw the holes go away and then did her test on the General as he kept looking at her ever so often, but not in a way that was, affectionate or wanting. The SG teams all turned out fine, though SG-1 was staying in the infirmary per orders since, other than being the front line team, but also to keep watch on the two guest. Truthfully, most of the personal that knew about Seras weren't all that scared and did promise to keep it quiet. They were more scared of the fact that there might be a very powerful and Immortal Goa'uld on the base. While waiting for the test results for the General to get done, Janet managed to talk Seras into allowing some scans and stuff to be done on her, especially after feeding. So, Daniel was sitting there in a chair next to the bed talking to him while the rest of the team was standing around listening or pitching in.

"Vampires still exist. Strange." Daniel said changing the subject.

"I haven't seen a werewolf in awhile, but they are out there." the General said as he ate some triple chocolate fudge cake, this being his fourth slice. "There's been a outbreak of vampires in England and a few other places lately, however. They are not true vampires. Something to do with a computer chip, called the Freak chip. The real name is, Artificial Vampireazation Catalyst Semiconductor. It's a semi conductor hardware combined with bio-tech technology. Something to do with a low amperage transmission device as well. Beyond that, I didn't hear much else about the lecture. Once implanted, you are turned into a vampire. Major difference between the real and the Freaks though. One, Freaks can turn anyone into a ghoul, don't matter if they are a virgin or not, age doesn't matter either. Two, they don't heal like real vampires, you blow a limb off, it doesn't come back. They don't seem to fear garlic and holy water as much as the real thing. Silver will kill them, but not as quickly as it does with the real thing."

"And this is all caused by some computer chip that is implanted?" Carter asked.

"We don't know who is behind it, or why. And what little information we have gained has been very little and the leads we've gotten have been destroyed before we could gain more info. So, we just keep the ignorant masses from finding out the real truth of what Hellsing does and go about our daily lives." he said pushing the empty plate away. "That was good, but I have had better. Hell, I make better and a hell of a lot more richer. Ah Doctor."

"According to all the results, the General here, is still Immortal, and completely free of any Goa'uld influence. However, he, like you Sam, has a high concentration of Naquada in his system."

"She was telling me a bit about the stuff. Given time, I would understand it better, but I haven't delved into the scientific field in quite a few years." the General said.

"There is a test I run on Daniel with just about every mission he comes back from, one that I ran on you while you were out of it for those few moments General." Janet said. "So far, Daniel is still incapable of having children. You, on the other hand, somehow can."

This made Daniel stand up quickly and made the General sit up straighter. Seras, who was standing next to Janet, eyes widened considerably and she gasped.

"I can only guess that when you were implanted that the symbiote was able to, fix whatever it is that makes Immortals infertile. How long was it before your body rejected and absorbed the symbiote?"

"I think about just over an hour. I was basically keeping my quickening from trying to reject it, that way I could figure out some way to escape and learn more about the Goa'uld and such. I learned a few things, but nothing I can think of as important. I told SG-1 what little I can remember before I finally released my power and let it kill the snake. After that, they know the rest." the General said.

"How do you hold back quickening power?" Daniel asked.

"Takes years, more than you have, but once you learn to feel your energy more, you can dampen it better to make yourself look less threatening instead of a big target." the General said.

"What about her?" Daniel asked.

"I drew blood, which was worthless really. Did a number of scans and even ran with a few other ideas, and yet, after all that, I can't believe I'm going to say this, she's dead. I can't find out any reason why she's still walking around. There's no brain activity other than some neural activity that does go throughout the body, no heartbeat, nothing. Logically, she shouldn't be moving." Janet said as Seras smiled sweetly, mostly to the General.

"Did you find anything at all?" General Hammond asked.

"Her stomach functions, though I have no idea how or why. It just processes the blood she drinks and spreads it throughout her body. Even though her heart is functioning to process the blood through her veins, nerves and everywhere else, it doesn't beat. She feels pain which I find surprising, but can't explain. None of her other organs seem to be working either. Her strength is super human, same with speed and just about everything else. Hear a conversation down the hall, see miles away without any troubles. Says she can walk through walls, or will be able to when she gets better at it."

"I'm waiting for her to fly." the General said.

"Takes a lot of concentration, but I can get my feet off the ground a couple inches. Beyond that, I try to move, I fall." she said sitting on the edge next to him.

"Wait, she feed off him recently, was there any naquada in her system?" Carter asked.

"Strangely no. I don't know if it was filtered out or stayed away from her saliva." Janet said getting looks.

"When a vampire bites, in order to keep the blood flowing more freely so we can suck it out, our saliva can do one of two things. Keep the wound open, and also close it shut. Him being an Immortal, I can only take bites at nine seconds at a time before his body kicks in and fights me off."

The frown that formed on Jack's face got him a few stares that was sort of shared by everyone else but the two as he was trying to ask what she meant. Daniel got it rather quickly.

"I get it. After ten seconds, his healing ability kicks in and if you don't back off…"

"I loose my fangs. So far, it hasn't happened yet. Healing takes energy, meaning more feeding in the long run."

"Do you feel anything different from drinking from him recently?" Daniel asked.

"Sort of tingly, but in a good way. More energetic than usually. Taste as bad as ever." she said muttering out the last part.

"Blood taste bad to you?!" Daniel exclaimed.

"No. My tongue says give me more, but my mind says how bad it is and I don't want to become a monster. So I've paced myself to maintain better control. Really, I could drink from every one here and never become satisfied, or so Master says. We have a hundred or so people at our organization so I'm making that sort of comparison here. I don't know how many people are really here and it's not important how many, the point is, I could keep drinking and possibly satisfy my thirst or keep going and never stop. In my case, I only do it when I feel the need and ignore/resist the urge to get more. Unlike my Master, I have seen there is much more to life than killing and drinking everyone dry." she said then hid a yawn.

"Doctor, in your medical opinion, you are sure he isn't a threat?" Hammond asked. "Neither of them are?"

"Medically, professionally, psychologically, they are both just fine. I see no reason to keep them here in the infirmary. I'm still waiting for a few other results, things I perform on Daniel, but they won't be in until tomorrow."

"Well, we've signed all the papers and even wrote reports for you. Can we go home sir? Can't miss my mansion and I'm not suppose to be back in England for another couple of days. If there is any problems you can give me a call and we'll be back."

"There is a man who left here who was recruited to work for Hellsing. We found out through certain channels that they were looking for particular men to fight for the said organization. Some of those men came back and refuse to do anything other than fight aliens. I probably shouldn't tell you this, but you seem to be a trustworthy people. There is a man named Jeffrey…"

"Guards man on the north tower and usually is patrolling with different teams at random like other guards. Last name Heinker. Lousy poker player, but rather good at chess and his job. I've met him." the General said.

"He was here at the start of this program and is, somewhat a undercover agent. He does his job as instructed and informs as at different times of the goings on. At first, it was to find out if there was a foothold on Earth by the Goa'uld. But when we found out what was really happening and then you two showing up to prove it even more factually, I think you should know this and tell your superior, in hopes that mutual cooperating in the future can take place if needed." Hammond said. "Give her our phone number and some forms to fill out that we'll send with you. Maybe we can help each other."

"I'll let her know. Before I was contacted by Daniel or whoever, I told her a few stories about the aliens I had met many years ago. She believes life is out there, but doesn't really care because our job is to deal with undead and such. I think she'll accept it pretty easily considering the job she has handled from the day she was told about it by her father."

"Let me know as soon as you can. You two are free to go home and then we'll call you if we need you to come back in. If not, you will be free to leave back to England and then we'll stay in touch. Good night."

"Doctor Jackson…" the General began after Hammond left.

"Daniel will work."

"Daniel, did you tell her?" he asked pointing at Janet who frowned in confusion.

"I, don't know what you mean…" he said evading the question.

"What's going on Daniel? You're lying and I can tell you're lying." Jack said. "You get this tone in your voice…"

"No, I really have…"

"Daniel, I can tell you are lying." Carter stated.

"Indeed."

"Is there something wrong with me that you can sense or something?" Janet asked.

"Do you notice it Seras?" the General asked.

"Yes. I can smell the difference."

"No! We don't do this! It's against…" Daniel began almost shouting.

"The hell with the rules. You want to do it your way, fine. I do it mine, mostly because I am the senior here." the General said turning to the doctor as he sat up and looked at her seriously.

Daniel rushed up and tried to stop him only to have his arm pulled behind his back and pushed face first into the bed.

"She deserves to know."

"Oh my god." Carter muttered as it sank in.

Jack, who had grabbed a scalpel, was holding it out near the General's neck.

"Let, him, go."

He let Daniel up who rubbed his arm.

"You can't tell her. It's…." Daniel began.

"To hell with the rules Doctor! Would you rather her live to fifty, sixty or longer and then die from some fall or accident only to come back at that age?" he said pointing at Janet who dropped her clipboard as she realized what they were talking about. "Or maybe die while working here?"

"Now I know why I can't have children." she muttered sitting down in a chair nearby as Carter rushed to her side.

"I was planning on telling her, just…." Daniel began in anger.

"Better now while she still has her looks and better health. Instead of later where she could come back with scars and other signs of torture that would cause her first death. I know what you all do here and who you really fight. I was there when they came and was there fighting against the Goa'uld to rid humanity from enslavement. A few Immortals became Immortals because of so many deaths. And they came back severally scarred because the Goa'uld found out about Immortals and started going through a massive amount of people, torturing them for info and then killing them to find out if they were Immortal. Many people were revived and sent away, but the few Immortals that were found, were scarred for life. I have several I will never get rid of across my back. Any pre-Immortals I find anymore, I tell them instantly what they are. And give them the choice of what they want to do. She should be given the same, especially considering the danger here."

"He's right Daniel. If I was like that, I would want to know." Carter said.

Jack had already put the knife back and was watching the two looking ready to go at it. Personally, he wanted to break it up, but Daniel had told them all not to interfere because it was against the Immortal rules. But, seeing as the General apparently liked breaking them, he stepped in. And for another reason as well.

"Okay, break it up you two. You both obviously don't want each others head even though your views about your Immortality and things dealing with it differ greatly. Besides, this base is on holy ground as you stated Daniel." he said pushing them apart. "Are you going to do anything?"

"General, don't get in trouble." Seras said laying back on the bed. "You're suppose to be watching out for me, not the other way around."

He backed up a few steps and leaned against the bed.

"What about the children, hmm? What about those of them that are still growing up? Do you tell them?" Daniel asked.

"I have. I've found over a dozen during my entire life and once they hit that point they felt was right, they had me kill them, or they killed themselves. Usually ended up anywhere between 19 and 30. As far as I know, none of them are still around, but I still tell anyone I come across. I've seen to many children Immortals killed because they could never grow up."

"So, I am Immortal." Janet muttered.

"Not yet." Daniel said turning to her slowly as he knelt in front of her. "You've already heard everything I've told you, which is why I told you more than anyone else about us. I was, getting you ready, in a sense."

"When did you plan on saying anything?! After I came back from the dead?!" she yelled in his face.

"No. I couldn't…." he said standing back up and rubbing his hand through his hair. "I…was thinking more on the rules than anything else. We aren't suppose to say anything until after their first death and then guide and help them."

"The best thing I can say, other than sorry because I didn't know you knew so much already, is that you already knew you couldn't have children to begin with. I've seen many women who have died and come back break down for a month or more when they realize they will never have children." the General said solemnly. "One female Immortal I came across put it perfectly, you gain eternal life at the expense of ever having your own."

"She meant children." Jack stated.

"Yeah. She wanted it so bad, she did little if anything for over a year. She took her own life in the end because she couldn't handle it because that is all she wanted in life. Unfortunately, I wasn't there but also it was a good thing I wasn't because I would have taken her essence and I really felt bad enough for her that I didn't need her anguish added to my own. I'm sorry Doctor Jackson, I should have realized you knew or was going to say something. Out of all this time, I have never came across this situation before. Every pre-Immortal I have found, no Immortal was around but me."

"At least you didn't try or kill Janet. I had a friend once who did that to another Immortal because he loved her so much he wanted to be with her forever. Didn't even give her a explanation until afterward, but it drove them apart anyway."

"Whatever happened to them?"

"Don't know. I went my way and they went wherever. Haven't seen or heard from them since." Daniel said shrugging and then turning back to her. "Janet, I will help you anyway I can. Whenever you feel ready to, take that step, I will be there."

"And what if I want to die of old age? Is that even possible?"

"Yes. It can happen." the General said. "Dying of old age is something pre-Immortals won't come back from. There is many benefits from living as long as I have even though you watch many things fade away with age, material and alive. Despite everything I have seen and done, I have more pleasant memories than pain. Which is why I continue on. I remember a few thousands year ago, looking at the moon and I said, I will walk on that one day. Loki took me there once and I was able to walk on it. You can't pass up dream like that."

"How can that be possible?" Daniel asked.

"He extended the shield around the ship on the ground. It was only for about ten minutes because of lack of air really. I could feel the lack of oxygen the farther I got from the ship's hatch. I plan on doing it again someday and going to other planets too. Today doesn't count."

"Janet, you once said to me, shortly after you started working here, that you would love to become the greatest doctor possible." Carter said holding her hand comfortingly. "Learning about the new medicines and advanced medical technologies to save lives and improve them. I'm not trying to say you should…."

"I understand Sam. Looking at it that way, it does seem like a dream come true. I'd have all the time in the world to learn and better life." she said with a smile. "I'm not ready to take that step, but I'll think on it. I have Cassandra and that is enough."

"Well, I am hungry and it is getting late. So you two need to get going so the rest of us can deal with our lives. Are you sure it is safe for us here?" Jack asked waving his hands around slightly. "No vampire's are going to come after us?"

"Haven't heard about any in the last couple decades." the General said. "They are mostly staying around England, but we're not sure why. Probably because we are the headquarters against their kind. Sort of like this place is the first line of defense against alien intruders."

"That's possible." Daniel said. "I did meet one vampire once but was able to run away and hide in a village. I told them about it and as far as I know, they hired a vampire killer. Whether they killed the guy or not I don't know, I didn't stay to find out."

They both apologized for any troubles and was thanked again for their help off world and then left.

It didn't take long to get back to his house, followed by an hour of some fun in bed and a few drinks before going to sleep for the night. He called to tell Integra they were on their way back that morning and if she wanted him to bring anything with. She did ask for a few things, which included another pick up of those chocolates she really liked, the same ones that he brought with when he came to Hellsing the first time.

He showed her around the property and the various things he owned and would gladly share with her when they eventually came back sometime. She was ecstatic about it all and enjoyed every minute and looked forward to the day they would come back again. Before they decided to take off, he had something he really wanted to show her in an area of the mansion on the top floor that he didn't show her yet.

"What's in this room?"

"Paintings." he said opening the large steal door that reminded her of a vault door.

The large rectangular room, built like a vault, had many large life like pictures of incredible talent on the right side that stretched to the end of the room. Each of the pictures, encased in thick glass cases to keep them protected from the elements and such, were women. There was two pictures at a time, one above the other going down the line to about fifty or so pictures total. The far wall had a table with painting supplies on it in a organized fashion along with a easel against the wall. The left wall also had pictures on it, but not as many that were filled. Each picture was of a beautiful woman, all wearing clothes, nothing revealing. Almost every woman was looking at her as though Seras had been the painter. On small gold plaques at the bottom, it told the name of the woman and the month, day, year when they were born and died, plus when the painting was made. Two gold colored capital letters were at the bottom signifying the signature of the painter, TG.

"These are incredible! I've seen the Mona Lisa, but these make that look like a child's drawing."

"I know. Mona Lisa wasn't very pretty anyway. I still don't know why Leonardo Davinci painted her. There was much better women around." he said looking at a woman in a painting near the door. "The few people that have seen these say similar things."

"Who's TG?"

"Stands for, The General. Very few people even in the art world know that."

"Oh." she said looking at different ones. "These women are all very beaut…."

She turned to see him smiling and then shrugged.

"You?!" she said waving a hand.

"Got lessons by some of the greatest artist in the history and some that should have been. There is several paintings out there that aren't of people, but of landscapes before they were turned into something else. I do life, mostly. I've painted a few buildings I felt important and some other structures. But they are out there in the world. Some cars too, mostly for my own amusement and private collection like this."

"Oh, those pictures hanging down stairs in the library."

"Yeah. There is a few other places in the house you saw too."

"They almost looked like real pictures."

"That was the point. These, these are different. Each of these women I had very close feelings for. Some were lovers and or wives, and a few are of women I liked but never got close to. And not at the same time mind you."

"Obviously. I've seen in your mind you don't have affairs or cheat."

"I have other less perfect paintings of many of these ladies in a different location, but when I learned how to make pictures very life like, I started over and these are the outcome. I have amazing recall on details when I put my mind to it. These have been like this for over a hundred years now. Well, most of the paintings. A few are somewhat recent." he said looking around. "Some of these ladies I just saw great beauty in and they let me paint them as long as they kept the secret that I was the painter. I made one for them and one for me. So far, my secret is still safe and no one knows I did these."

"Which is the latest?"

"That one of a girl named Rally Vincent. I took a picture of her while she was cleaning her favorite gun at home at her desk. And I was only there because she was giving me more detailed lessons in guns and I was giving her some that she was looking for. I always liked her better in the black jeans and white turtle neck. Um…a CZ-75 is what she is cleaning. We are friends, nothing more. Though I had thought about it being more at one time, she wasn't interested. Cared more for her guns and car than relationships. Like ours."

"Is she still alive….oh, she is." Seras said looking at the bottom and seeing date. "Wow, she is still young. You did this recently."

"And a virgin, but I only learned that because her friend May likes to talk a lot and really tried to set me and Rally up. Anyway, I did it a couple years back. I was lucky to get Lady Croft to sit down long enough and keep my secret. The only reason I had trouble with her was because she has one of the paintings I did of the Great Wall of China I did over fifty years ago that she really liked and was beyond stunned when she realized it was by me after I painted her." he said then pointed at a picture. "I wanted you to see this one here though."

She followed back to the first picture and instantly knew who it was.

"Katerina." she said quietly.

"Yes. This was a scene I remember very distinctly when I came back one day and looked at her as she was looking out the window of our house. I just stared at her for along time. I can't remember if she ever noticed or not, but I do remember she was thinking about the future and what she wanted to do."

The picture showed her sitting on a wooden stool and in a blue dress that clung a little tightly to her body. Her hair was going down her back just above her waist. Her right knee was up with her foot on the pole on the stool while her left leg was touching the floor. She was looking outside the window at the sunlight coming in with her right hand holding her chin up and her left hand in her lap. The left hand had a ring on the wedding finger. It was a log cabin house with a fire not seen behind her, only obvious by the rudimentary fire tools of that age hanging on the wall that was visible. She was beautiful Seras admitted to herself, but compared to now days standards, she was below average. She quickly noticed something else, the eyes were green.

"Noticed the eyes hmm? They were originally green and I figured she would have liked to be remembered better that way."

"Wow, that was a long time ago." she said seeing the date. "Is it accurate?"

"Wouldn't be there if it wasn't. Took many years to finally learn the right date though."

"These are really incredible."

"I want to do you as well."

"Haven't we already?" she asked coyly.

"Cute Seras." he said kissing her forehead and ruffling her hair. "I would really like to do one of you. Add it to my collection."

"Memory purposes other than in case I actually get killed."

"One way of looking at it. It wouldn't take me very long like the others."

"Why's that?"

"You don't do bathroom breaks."

"Good point. When do we do it?"

"I'll let you know when I see the perfect moment."

"I don't know whether to feel insulted that you haven't already seen one or not."

"I don't do nude pictures because I can't think straight then."

"Nice save."

"You do look great in uniform, but I really haven't felt the correct muse. Though I do have an idea coming to mind."

She promised to keep it quiet about him being the artist and then they got ready to leave after he dealt with a few issues.

Seras wasn't sure why she was really hyped up, like she was packed with energy. The whole trip back she was awake and if it wasn't for the fact he really liked her, she would have been bugging the hell out of him. Walter opened the door as they approached later that evening.

"Ah, General, Miss Victoria. Did you have fun on your trip?"

"I had a lot of fun Walter." she said with glee. "It was better on the way back here."

"I see." he said closing the door. "Why is that?"

"On the way to the states, I had to lay in that coffin and wait till we were over the ocean before being able to get out. Every since we left Colorado, I've been wide awake and was even able to move around in the plane and look at the ocean. Saw a few whales and dolphins. It was so cool!"

"I'm going to assume the plane wasn't flying that low."

"No. We were about a mile high." the General said as they stopped at his room first and dropped off his stuff. "The sky's were clear, no clouds anywhere so she had a clear view."

"Wait. How did you manage…" Walter began as they headed towards her room. "How many times did she bite you?"

"Um…."

"Ten total for the whole trip. Though the last six have given me a very energetic buzz." she said turning around to speak as they approached the entrance to the down stairs basement area.

"Seras…" the General began as she kept walking backwards and walked through the rail. "Whoa…"

"Interesting. Your blood must be the cause for this General. When was the last time you had a bag Miss Victoria?" Walter asked.

"Why? What's wrong?" she asked looking at herself and then around.

"You walked through the rail, and you're not standing on anything." the General said.

She looked down seeing the rail was in front of her, and that the steps below her were below her. It startled her enough she dropped instantly and grabbed the rail as her feet hit the step.

"Ow, that sent a small jolt of pain." she muttered. "How did I do that?"

The General chuckled lightly as he patted her on the back and then walked down the stairs.

"You did it unconsciously Seras. Given more time, I think you'll get better at it."

"Sir Integra would like to see you both at your earliest convenience." Walter said not following.

"Thanks Walter, we'll be right there." Seras said.

She was about to open the door when he put a hand on it.

"What's wrong?"

"I want you to try something. Try to walk through the door."

She looked at the door, shrugged, closed her eyes and walked right into the door. Instead of panicking as she noticed her right hand and foot in the door, she concentrated harder. When she opened her eyes, she was in her room. She turned around as the door opened and he came in.

"I did it!" she said with a small jump.

"I knew you could." he said smiling as he hugged her and put down her bags.

Her smile faded away suddenly as she sat down.

"What's wrong?" he asked kneeling in front of her.

"I'm worried about the other, darker powers I will be able to eventually access. I'm pretty sure that your blood is what is causing me to have stronger abilities. I barely have to concentrate and I can see into your mind."

"I don't mind that one." he said slyly. "We were talking pretty well back there on that ship. Though I barely heard a lot of what you said."

"Everything has became a lot clearer since that incident. It takes little effort to look farther or closer at something. Even less effort to hear better and smell. Before, it took a lot of concentration and then a blood packet or two to recover from trying to even make my hand go through something. This time, it was much easier."

"Well…" he said gently rubbing her legs. "I see this as a good thing. Because I will be there to help you through any problems the best I can. You should be able to heal much faster and a lot easier. Not that I'm saying you should go looking for punishment. The fazing thing is a positive attribute. If something very big is thrown or falling towards you, and say you can't move for whatever reason, you can avoid it by fazing. You'll be able to see bullets much better than before. Be a lot stronger. We can go flying…"

She cracked up on that one. He wasn't sure why it seemed funny, but also laughed.

"What about the darker powers? Summoning familiars."

"That can only happen if you totally drain someone to the point of death. At least that's what I learned. You steal their soul is what it is."

"Right, I forgot that. Guess I don't have to worry about that one as long as you're around."

"You don't have to worry about anything. When you do learn whatever dark power there is, then you'll know how to use it, so it won't happen unconsciously."

"That's a good point. What would I do without you?" she said rubbing his cheek.

"Don't you mean where would you be?"

"I'm quite sure I'd be alone and been forced way before now to drink. As you and Integra have said, you've helped me accept what I am and, keep my humanity, per say."

"I wonder if Alucard is upset by our relationship, as to what you have become?" the General muttered as he got up.

"I don't know. He has spoken a few times to me about being proud of some of the things I've done. I think he wishes I was more like him though."

"I know he wishes you were more like him." he said taking her hand. "Let's go see what the boss wants."

"Master isn't here. I don't sense him." she said as they left.

"Must be on a mission. Good thing since he doesn't like being dissed on."

They stopped at his room so he could get the papers and then went to her office. She was smoking as usual and looking out the window as they stood next to the chairs waiting.

"Walter informs me you both had a good time." she said crushing out her cigar.

"Yes." they both said.

"Thankfully there was no incidents with any monsters, except tonight. Alucard is checking it out and should be back soon." she said motioning for them to sit. "I assume there is no other business you need to attend to General and can start working again tomorrow?"

"Yes." he said setting the white bag on her desk. "The other requested items Walter and someone else is taking care of. Was there anything you needed to talk to us about?"

"Such as?"

"Walter said you wanted to see us sir." she said.

"Yes. Mostly to see if you were both okay and to get this." she said taking the bag and placing in it a drawer. "Beyond that, I needed to know if you needed time off still to get over any possible jet lag."

"No." the two said.

"Are those papers something to do with me?" she asked pointing.

"Yes, they…."

"The target has been silenced Master. He was recently made into a Freak and only managed to get two people." Alucard said as he fazed into the room behind the two and walked up to the desk. "I see you two have returned."

"Been awhile since I'd been back home. Forgot how many books and videos I got to catch up on. Not to mention the many games as well."

"It was fun Master."

"Hmm, you seem to be very energetic police girl." he said walking up and leaning in her face making her back up till she almost fell off the chair. "I see you've also gained a few abilities as well. Interesting."

"What do you mean by abilities?" Integra asked quickly.

"I can faze through objects without as much effort as before. I think I can fly too, just not very well." she said still leaning. "Please back off Master."

He smiled and then it went away quickly as he turned really fast and was in the Generals face. It startled him enough he fell backwards with the chair as he leaned back to quick. Thankfully the forms he brought were only a few pages even though they scattered as he had let them go.

"What are you doing Alucard?" Integra asked, not rising as Seras expected as the General was getting to his feet.

"Our General has changed. Something about him is off." he said staring at him intently.

"What do you mean?"

"I cannot read his mind as well as before."

"Good. You don't need to know what I'm thinking." he muttered as he picked up the papers. "Only Seras is allowed to delve into my mind."

"Whatever has happened to him has also effected the police girl. Something in his blood has made her much stronger and more powerful. This both impresses me and disturbs me."

"Miss Victoria." Integra asked looking for an explanation.

"We, had a, complication of sorts back in Colorado Sir Integra. The Air Force people came to collect a item that the General had in his private and secret collection. Seeing as the item in question was alien in origin and because one of the team members of that group began talking about what they really did, we had little choice but to go to their base and fill out government forms to keep quiet." she said as she wrung her hands together a few times.

"These are the same forms that I have brought for you to sign as well Sir Integra. It's basically a precautionary measure to ensure that what really happens under NORAD stays a secret."

"I don't care if aliens from another planet are living in the United States. It only becomes our problem if it involves Hellsing operations."

Between the two of them, Integra and Alucard listened as they told them what happened, which included going to another world, what happened there and coming back. Alucards face was blank while Integra seemed to be thinking heavily. When she finally spoke, it was a question the two didn't suspect or even think about.

"Alucard, is it possible for her to become pregnant? Will they have to use protection or will that even work?"

"I am unsure Master. If she was, I would be able to sense it and so would she." he said stroking his chin in thought. "It has been so long since I have even had sex to tell whether or not if the police girl is able to."

"How many times have you been together intimately since this change?" Integra asked looking at the two. "And don't say that it is none of my business, because it just became so."

The two looked at each other and Alucard could sense them talking telepathically.

"Interesting. They are both able to talk telepathically Master." Alucard said to Integra.

"Six times." Seras muttered.

"General. This is a very delicate matter and I would hate to loose your help because I interfered with your relationship with Seras. I can tell you both love each other enough that you would run off together if I attempted to separate you. After what you told me about this SGC, I'm quite sure you'd end up there as quickly as possible. Walter and I will look through our library and see what information we can find on vampires and their mating abilities. However, you may be able to help yourself out, that is if you know anything about that subject seeing as you've been around for a very long time."

"Well, I um…." he said rubbing his face as he leaned forward in thought. "I'll have to help you with the library research. Seras could help too. We're both currently not tired so we could do it now. Maybe something will trigger a memory for me then. I have very vague recollections of that time and fighting vampires back then. The few times I was with Abraham that is. The only reason I think it is very hard for vampires to have children, if at all, is because they turn people into their kind. One master vampire is capable of having up to a hundred fledglings. I'm not certain, but I think special circumstances have to be in play for it to even be possible. Other than that, I really don't know. It was more about killing them than about their sex life since they turned people."

"I'm glad Walter isn't here right now." Seras muttered crossing her arms. "As uncomfortable as this particular subject is, at least it is with another woman. As for Master, he'll find out if he has to read my mind. As far as I have been able to tell sir, my body just absorbs…"

"I don't believe we need to delve into the particulars of how you two have sex Miss Victoria. However, if your body just absorbs it, then I don't think we have much to worry about. We shall go check the library to be on the safe side."

"And what do we do Master if we find something that shows that the police girl can get pregnant?"

"Forgive the reference, but if vampires have a seasonal thing like animals, then you two will have to stay apart during those times." she said standing.

"No offense Sir Integra, but I'm surprised that your father didn't tell you anything about the subject…."

"His concern was on teaching me how to deal with vampires and other monsters, not their mating habits. Since you two have so much energy, I suggest you both go to the library now and see what you can find. I understand you are a speed reader General, so possibly you may find something before morning. Walter can give you some help before heading to bed for the night like I am going to do."

"I shall help as well. This fascinates me greatly." Alucard said as he fazed away.

"Sir Integra. What will you do if I do get pregnant?"

She looked up from her desk and into the General's eyes. For a brief moment, they weren't friendly and Seras gasped as she heard what went through his mind.

"You would take her and run, right General?"

"Forgive me Integra, but even though I respect, love and cherish you, I would not allow you to kill Seras or the child. It is something I have longed for like many Immortals."

"And if she never gets pregnant? Does that mean you will leave her to find a woman that you can have a child with?"

"No. I've lived without being a real biological father all this time, so if it isn't possible, adopting later would be just fine. Done it before. Even if I can't have a child with Seras, having her around with me until the end of time would be worth it. However, I would like to hear what you would possibly do if Seras became pregnant."

"Considering that you would be the father, and not some other vampire, the child would be a Vhampir. They are very rare but not unheard of."

"Like Blade from the comic books?" the General asked.

"Yes. That is my belief. Seeing as you are the stronger, in genetics of the two of you…" she said seeing Seras give her a look. "You are still Alucards fledgling Miss Victoria, which means you aren't as powerful as you could be. Even if you lived a hundred years and learned everything there is to know about being a vampire and Alucard taught you everything, until he frees you from his servitude, your power will be limited. In which case, if you two do end up having a child together, his genes would be more prevalent. Even though this is really all theoretical, it is the most logical outcome based on the fact you are still under Alucard and the fact you drink his blood and not the packets we get. Which I believe makes his gene contribution even stronger."

"That, makes sense." Seras said.

"If you somehow become pregnant Miss Victoria, I will not interfere unless it makes you loose control. But you would be watched very closely. It is uncharted ground and I would hate to kill an innocent child because you could not maintain control. Which brings up another question I must ask you both. If you intend to be her life partner General, why have I not heard anything about a marriage to be, or have been asked by either of you about the subject?"

"We discussed it sir, but came to the conclusion that it would be pointless. No priest , Rabi or even judge would do such a thing because of what I am." Seras said. "Marriage is a union of holy matrimony, something I would really like to have, but…"

"You are technically an unholy creature. I see why you two did not come forward or say anything. Forgive me for asking. I should have thought it through more thoroughly."

"Just being together works for me. I did give her a ring, gold obviously. We don't wear them when we work."

"I wish I could have had more, but the ring was enough for me to know how much he truly cared sir. I can live with that."

"Very well. I am glad you two were able to work that out. I am going to bed in hopes that you have something in the morning. I don't expect anything so soon…"

"But like you said, one can hope." the General said as the two bowed and told her good night.

"I shall look these over and make the call tomorrow. Perhaps they can help us with our Freak problem as you say." she said glancing at the forms.
