CHAPTER 5 Following Monday –

Harry went to Sam's work and talked to General Hammond. They had a pleasant conversation for about an hour about many things. During their conversation Harry became distracted and General Hammond noticed "Is there something wrong Harry."

Harry smiled "No, except that Sam is probable gnawing on her finger bones by now. Do you think we could let her join in?"

Hammond smiled "I don't see why not except we have to keep her from talking about technical stuff. I can only follow every third word."

Harry laughed "She is quite brilliant." Harry reached the door and opened it and waved Sam in. She jumped from her seat and then stood at attention in front of General Hammond to salute.

Hammond looked to Harry "If you are Lord Potter doesn't that make Lieutenant Potter, Lady Potter?"

Harry chuckled a reply "Oh it most certainly does."

Sam turned to look at Harry "What?"

Hammond stood up "Lieutenant at ease. You can be less formal. I know you have been to the academy and know the drill when others are around, so relax when it's just us."

Sam seemed contrite "Sorry Sir."

General Hammond sat down "This is a very unusual situation for all of us and one of the few times I have had to meet with a soldier's spouse under my command. I think you can count on him to bounce ideas off of and it will help you."

Sam smiled "Thank you sir."

General Hammond replied "Ok, take your husband home and get back to work."

Harry laughed "That is all right General I can see myself out." Harry turned to Sam and kissed her cheek before asking "Anything special you want for dinner?"

Sam grinned "Surprise me."

Harry turned to the General "See ya later general, sir." Harry turned and disappeared.

General Hammond looked on with shock and then asked "He cooks too?"

Sam laughed "I didn't expect that question but let me just tell you he makes a mean omelet."

Sam was walking out of the room "He calls that Apparating in case you are interested."

General Hammond shook his head "Your husband is full of surprises Lieutenant. Has he ever told you about what he did before he was seventeen? I saw the file and it was very impressive."

Sam seems unsure "He never told me much about his life in England."

General Hammond shook his head "I would advise you to take the time to find out. It amazed me."

Sam walked out of the office and walked back to her office deep in thought.

Six months later –

Harry was in class taking notes from his advance engineering lecture. Sam had been on a mission the last three days and was expected home in another three. He was paying attention to his class because it helped him stop missing her so much. He felt a tingle on the identical necklace that Sam had on. The tingle suddenly became a heavy buzzing that indicated that Sam was in trouble.

Harry stood up and left everything there as he ran from the lecture hall and as soon as he departed the lecture hall he apparated directly into the Gate room. The pull to get to her was coming from there. The entire room's alarms went off as soon as he landed. A window was in the back and a lone technician looked on in horror as a man suddenly appeared in the gate room.

Harry felt the pull increase and he felt more pain coming from Sam. He noticed that the round circular object began to light up and the wheel spun. General Hammond, having heard the alarm, came into the gate operations room and got on the speaker. "Stand down!"

Harry turned to look at him "Sam is in trouble, they are hurting her and I don't have time for this." Harry stated quickly. General Hammond turned to the technician "Turn off the gate controls."

The technician looked at him "I'm not controlling it from here." He pointed to Harry "He is doing it somehow." General Hammond turned to see Harry and the gate lock the final chevron as he said under his breath "What the hell!"

Harry as soon as the event horizon settled apparated to where the pull to Sam was the strongest. He landed in a small chamber where Sam was being held up by chains so that she was not touching the floor. Someone was taking a forked object and discharging energy into her. Harry immediately gave that person a palm punch into his sternum that was laced with a magical stunner. The person flew across the room and struck the wall with such force that everyone heard things break on him. Five others in the room took a couple of seconds to react in which Harry threw a variety of hexes and curses at them. In seconds they were either dead or barely breathing. A guy in a soldier's uniform stood up and grabbed a weapon.

"I'll cover you get Lieutenant Potter down." The man stated.

Harry turned and with a wave of his hand cut the chains and then held his wife up. Sam seemed out of it "Harry, when did you get here?" She then began to cry "Make them stop Harry it hurts." She then promptly passed out.

Harry with his eyes glowing looked at the only strangely dressed man in the room as he held Sam in his arms. The soldier moved back as Harry walked toward the other man. The soldier was then amazed when Harry began speaking gaould to him "Hear me foul thing because my words will be your last to hear in this life. Never ever attack my beloved as it is an automatic death sentence."

The man began shouting back but Harry took his hand and closed it as if he was wrapping it around the man's neck. The man was suddenly thrown against the ceiling, then the wall, then another wall until it was clear that he was no longer responsive. Harry released him and a worm appeared from his mouth. Harry went over and stomped on it snuffing the gaould symbiote.

Harry looked at the soldier "No one hurts my wife and lives to talk about it."

The soldier looked at him "Your Harry?"

Harry nodded to him and then asked "Is there anyone else we need to rescue before I blow this ship up?"

The man responded "My name is Colonel Jack O'Neill, I am Sam's commanding officer. We have two more members of our team next door."

Harry moved out the door "Ok, Jack let's get them and get out of here." Jack followed him.

They found Teal'c and Daniel Jackson in the next cell. Daniel looked at the guy carrying Sam "You must be Harry. Sam talks about you all the time."

Harry looked miffed "Jackson right?" Daniel nodded "Well Dr. Jackson this is not social hour and my wife is hurt let's get out of here." Harry looked down the corridor and saw many funny looking soldiers with bird like helmets coming their way. Harry turned to the very big looking guy. "Can you help me get her to the gate room? If you follow with her I will clear the path?"

Teal'c grabbed Sam from Harry and nodded to him "Lead the way and I will follow." He stated.

Harry edge out the door and then waved his stick and screams could be heard coming from the direction that he fired. "Move and stay behind me."

As soon as they entered the hallway, they saw Staff weapons fire coming right at them. To Jack's surprise an energy shield dissipated the weapons energy. Jack saw the energy field and deftly fired from behind it to take some more out.

Harry didn't stop walking he just kept firing curses and hexes that found targets. They quickly made it to the gate room and Harry saw the gate opening begin to spin. Jackson looked surprised "Who dialed out?"

Harry responded "I think it was me."

Jackson watched the symbols "How did you know the earth's gate address."

Harry kept firing "I don't know I just told the gate I wanted to go home and it started dialing."

Jack looked over at him "Are you serious, you talked to the gate?"

Harry looked at him with impatience "Kill these assholes now and ask your questions later, Sam's hurt."

The gate finally reached the last symbol and the event horizon activated. Jack punched in a code and then everyone heard the radio crackle to life "SG 1 you are go for return."

Jack screamed into his radio "Roger that and get medical we have one hurt." Jack then motioned for Teal'c with Sam and Daniel to go through. They stood and ran through the gate.

Harry spoke to Jack "Go on through I will cover and then I have a nasty little surprise for everyone else."

Jack didn't argue with him and leapt through. Harry backed up right next to the iris and then turned his wand to a wall. He let a reducter curse out and saw that the wall had a sickly green energy flowing through it. He smiled and fired another reductor curse at it before jumping into the gate.

He landed on his feet and saw Sam being lifted onto a Gurney. He ignored everyone else and put his wand away while holding Sam's hand. He waved a hand to erect a force field and began to sweat as he had to hold it until the gate shut off which it did about thirty seconds later.

Harry turned to those assembled "Well that is one gaould and their ship they won't be using unless they can find about ten tons of super glue to put it back together."

Jack smiled at him "Oh I like him General a nerd with a sense of humor."

The General looked upset "Would someone explain to me what the hell just happened?"

Jack put his arms around his shoulders as Harry went to Sam as she was being wheeled to medical. He held her hand and looked very worried. Jack began "Sir, we were captured yesterday by Aphophis. He was torturing us and then suddenly Super Harry came charging…."

General Hammond rolled his eyes "Jack I seriously hope that is not the way you start your written report." He stated as he walked out of the room.

In the infirmary Dr, Janet Frasier watched her next patient being wheeled in with a man firmly attached to her hand. She began taking blood pressure and listening to her heart as the man's eyes began to glow a bright green. The man placed his hand on the patient's forehead and then the patient began to glow blue. It was then that Janet noticed that the patient was none other than Lieutenant Potter from SG 1."

Janet placed her hands on her hips and looked at the man "Can I ask what you are doing to my patient?"

Harry didn't look at her "I am healing her. She has much synaptic damage from the punishment rod they used on her. It is much like a taser but uses a different form of energy to cause a great deal of pain."

Janet looked upset "How would you know all this?"

Harry responded "I ripped it out of the mind of the asshole that used it on her before I killed him. Now let me finish I will only be another minute."

Janet huffed but kept watch. True to his words he finished and set down heavily on the chair before he slid off to the side passed out.

When Harry awoke he felt a hand holding his. He opened his eyes and looked into Sam's beautiful blue eyes with tears in them. Sam immediately stood up and called out "Doctor he is awake."

Harry watched the same Doctor from before come over to look at him "I don't know what you did but all of your life signs were dangerously low."

Harry croaked out through a dry throat "Electrolytes work best to help me recover."

Janet smiled "Yes I figured that out when I got your blood chemical results back. I started you on them three hours ago."

Sam looked at him and cleared the hair from his face "What did you do Harry? I was scared and worried about you."

Harry smiled "Not half as much as I was scared they were killing you. Your healing took more out of me than I realized."

Sam leaned in and kissed him on the lips "Thanks for saving my ass."

Harry smiled up at her "That is my second favorite feature about you." Sam laughed at him in response.

Sam smiled down at him "Harry Potter I'll have you know I keep this ass in world class shape just for you." Janet Frasier blushed from the comment but didn't say anything.

She looked down at Harry and grinned "So you're the famous Harry Potter that makes me so jealous whenever she talks about you which is all the time."

Harry winked at Sam "In some parts of the world… probably the galaxy by now, I am infamous."

Janet laughed and then rolled her eyes "He has a sense of humor just like Colonel O'Neill's."

Sam crossed her arms "Don't remind me but at least Harry doesn't play dumb."

"Hey, I am not playing!" Harry chuckled as the soldier he saw in the ship walked into the room "I will have you know lieutenant that my cranium can't handle a quarter of the stuff that you filled yours with." Sam rolled her eyes as he said this. The soldier looked down at the bed and at Harry and smiled "Besides someone has to play comic relief to the nerds of our world…"

Harry interrupted his saying "Or otherwise the nerd's heads would explode?"

Jack walked around the bed "Exactly my point! The nerds need guys like me to keep things in perspective." Jack held his hand out to Harry "Name is Jack O'Neill and you would be Super Harry?"

Harry smiled at him "Well now that Sam is safe I have reverted to my meek mild mannered persona. It's just Harry!"

Jack looked at Sam "All right Lieutenant Potter now I am really miffed because you didn't tell me your husband was so cool. I expected him to have glasses and a pen pocket protector or something."

Harry laughed this time "Jack quiet. Don't tell Sam about that because I have all of those items hidden in the house. I have to wear them to all the nerds are us conventions!"

Sam looked at him "Wait, they have conventions?" she said with a smirk.

All of them laughed until Jack turned serious "Harry thanks for rescuing us. You were awesome by the way. General Hammond had to brief me in on your little society."

Jack turned to Doctor Frasier "The General wants him in the conference room so we can begin the mission debrief. So when can we get him from your evil clutches doc?"

Janet huffed at him and then pointed her finger at him before she gave a congenial smile "That reminds me Colonel that I recently found your medical records lacking and found you need a series of shots that were missed."

Jack looked very concerned when a technician wheeled in a cart with a very large needle on top of it. Doctor Frasier pulled on her rubber gloves and goggles before she picked up the big needle with both hands. "Ok Jack bend over. I am so going to enjoy this!"

Jack eyebrow's rose as he began walking out backwards "You know Doc you are truly evil and the only thing missing is the leather outfits and the whips."

Janet smiled sweetly at him "When did you see my closet at home Jack?"

Jack looked really shocked as he suddenly looked at his watch and then yelled "Coming General!" he looked at them apologetically "I just remembered Doc I have a prior engagement." He looked unsure and then bolted from the door. "You are on your own Harry. Later!"

Sam and Janet started to laugh hysterically and then Harry did too as he realized what they had done to Jack. Janet pulled off the gloves and goggles as Harry said to her "I think you enjoyed that way too much."

Janet grinned at him "He hates having to go to the doctor and it borders on a phobia. I just play into his fears. I think deep down he knows I don't mean it."

Sam chuckled at her "Way deep down…maybe."
