Entering the infirmary the three of them took in the scene before them. On one side of the infirmary was Daniel, on the other side Anna. Each were surrounded by machines monitoring their life signs, blood and fluid tapped into their bodies, surgical equipment next to them ready for use by the medical teams. Presently though the medical teams were standing still, their attention on the other presence in the room.
For Cameron his attention went first to Anna, he gave her just a glance but it was enough. He took in the image, noting the paleness of her skin, and then the alarming blackness of the bruises against it, before finally seeing the blood pooling underneath her. His brain shut down at this point not wanting to think about what his eyes were trying to tell him. In a way in helped that part of him didn't quite believe that this was Anna. Yes it was Anna's body but it wasn't the Anna he loved. His Anna was much more than that. For him the body that was laying in front of him had the look of Anna but was missing all the details that made up the person that Anna was. This made it easier for him to look away and shift his focus to what everyone else was looking at.
The entity was here, hovering between Daniel and Anna.
Doctor Carmichael made a move towards Anna, coming out of the shock of seeing that... being arrive, unsure if it was here to cause harm. Not waiting to wait any longer, knowing that for each second passing it meant that death was closer for Anna and Daniel, he had decided he needed to take action and do what he was here to do, save lives.
"Doctor, it would be best if you did not interfere. I believe it is here to help, it means no harm to Doctor Mitchell or Daniel Jackson." Teal'c looked at the entity which was hovering between Daniel and Anna. Teal'c trusted it for he had no reason not to, it had done everything that the hologram had said it would, it had saved the lives of Daniel Jackson, Doctor Mitchell and Vala Mal Doran. He was confident it was trying to help them now.
"She's bleeding to death. If we don't do something soon we're going to lose her, and maybe Doctor Jackson too. We CAN'T JUST STAND HERE!"
"Look I know how you all feel but everyone just stand back and let it do... whatever it is that it does." Jack knew how the doctor felt, but he also knew to trust his instincts and his instincts were telling him that Daniel and Anna's only hope was the entity. Just for luck though Jack crossed his fingers, waiting.
The entity moved closer to Anna, getting smaller in size, just as it became about the size of a fist there was a white flash and suddenly the golden light was gone, and the hologram of Thor was there instead.
Thor turned to Jack. "Do not worry O'Neill. Doctor Jackson and Doctor Mitchell will be as you say 'okay.'"
With that Thor reached out and touched her, for what of a better word, both his hands laying on Anna's arm, a golden light poured out of them casting its glow over her body. For several seconds all was quiet except for the beeping of the monitor which showed that Anna's life signs were failing. The seconds went on, all of them watching and waiting. Then slowly Anna's life signs on the monitor began to improve, the blood which had been pooling underneath her seemed to stop spreading further and the bruises slowly got paler in colour, turning from black to purple to a faint purplish yellow. As Anna took a deep gasp of air, Thor let go and moved over to Daniel.
"I'm guessing that's not Thor, unless holograms have got a few tricks up their sleeve that I wasn't aware o.f"
Teal'c gave Cameron a look, knowing that the Colonel was using humour to ease some of the tension they had all been feeling. "It would appear so."
While the entity did the same thing to Daniel as it had done to Anna, Doctor Carmichael began to check on Anna, making sure that what he thought he had seen had really taken place, and that she was now out of danger and apparently healed. Having never come across this sort of thing before, but knowing that anything was possible, he had to make certain by using his medical knowledge that what his eyes had seen had really happened.
Jack moved closer to Daniel, watching as his bruises also faded and his wounds heal. Sensing someone nearby he turned to see Vala and Sam standing in the doorway, watching the entity and Daniel. Catching Jack's look Vala came over and sat on the end of the bed, her eyes never leaving Daniel's face.
After a minute or two the entity pulled it's hands away and looked up at Vala and Jack.
"Thank you," said Vala, thinking to herself how insignificant the words seemed when compared to what the entity had just done.
"All life has value. You are a... interesting species, capable of much. We can see why the Asgard were taken with you."
"You sound like Thor," said Jack with a chuckle.
"We are part of Thor, Thor is part of us," With that Thor/the entity vanished.
"Obviously it doesn't believe in long goodbyes. I kinda like that." Cameron looked at Jack and Teal'c, a smile on his face, before he went over to Anna, carefully laying his hand on her thigh. Giving her a brief look, he looked back up to the doctor.
"She's asleep, but other than that everything else is good. I have no idea how but it totally healed her. No internal bleeding, no cracked ribs, no collapsed lung. She's just in a deep sleep. My guess it did that so that she can rest and heal some more. We'll make her more comfortable, take out these tubes, etc. Once we've done that you can stay with her."
"Thanks, I'll do that." Cameron lent down and gently placed a kiss on Anna's forehead, tears of relief in his eyes.
