Chapter 11
Jack watched as Xander and Teal'c were being led away for this trial thing and he was pissed right the hell off; how could Teal'c and Xan just accept this? Daniel and Carter had gone before the judge and told him how Teal'c and Xander had changed since joining the SGC.
He was also pissed off that Hammond told him the president refused to get involved, after all Xander and Teal'c did a lot of bad things and the president didn't want to deny another race their chance at justice.
Jack glared at the guy who was making the accusations, he saw that what the guy wanted wasn't justice, it was revenge and he didn't want the rest of his team to know that if Xander or Teal'c died because of this, he would be seeking a bit of payback on him too, privately.
As the man walked in front of them angrily telling them of their crime, Teal'c responded and said, "Apophis ordered me to kill one to prevent the others escape, I had to buy time and so to give the best chances I aimed for the one with the limp so he would not put the others at risk."
The man glared, "You killed my father and I don't care what your friends are saying, that makes you guilty. I shall conduct my judgement on both of you murdering bastards and have you killed."
Jack put his hand on his gun and Daniel whispered, "Jack, no, don't give these people a reason."
"No, I'm not letting them get away with this," Jack hissed, "I'm going to kill the little snot and besides; Teal'c's my friend and Xan's pretty important to me too so I'll be the victim right after, so their twisted laws will agree with me."
Daniel froze; Jack made sense and that was kind of scary. He saw Xander's and Teal'c's shirt being taken off and some sort of ritual paint on them, he was about to make an objection when they heard screams from outside.
Jack walked out and saw Jaffa coming out of the Stargate and he was tempted not to aid these bastards but as he looked at Xander he realized he couldn't be that shameful and he didn't want be that angry.
Xander and Teal'c were freed and they found their staff's and, to their accuser's surprise, they turned on the Jaffa who were attacking them, firing at them. He looked surprised as the two Jaffa fought hard to defend them.
After a very tense battle the Jaffa attacking were dead and the man walked up to Teal'c and Xander and said, "You two are free to go."
"Wait!" Xander said, "Teal'c and I have make up for what we did to you."
"No," the man said quietly, "You two killed the Jaffa that did this years ago, they are dead."
Jack pulled Xander close to him and held him closely, Carter blushed as she saw Jack nuzzle Xander and say, "Don't you ever just surrender like that Xanny, never."
Xander nodded and Jack continued, "You too Teal'c, I don't wanna see you two just give up, ever."
Teal'c looked at how Jack was holding Xander possessively and nodded, he would soon have to test O'Neill's worthiness to join Master Bra'Tac's family.
As they walked through the Stargate Xander felt Jack's eyes on him and he blushed slightly as he felt the memories from his old life as Xander Harris come in and he felt ill; he couldn't aid the Scoobies anymore, he simply knew that they didn't need him anymore and he knew they would hate him for what he did in the past as Xander of Chulak.
Jack grasped his hand and said, "Xander, I made a promise to you about my nephews and you're right; it's been years since I've talked to them. Wait here, I'm going to talk to their parents."
Xander smiled slightly and Jack smiled back and said, "Whatever's come over you Xan I like it and I want you to be there when I call Melody about them, so it looks like you and I will be spending more time together."
"Will that not alert people to the status of your relationship with Xander?" Teal'c asked.
"Don't care," Jack said as he stood closer to Xander.
Sam laughed and shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter ;General Hammond doesn't care as long as they aren't doing it in his office," as she said that she saw Jack's eyes light up and said, "Don't even think it sir, the general would kill you."
Jack smiled at her blush and when Xander realized what they were talking about he blushed too, he was still trying to sort through his memories of Sunnydale and realized that he would soon be able to understand what Jack was talking about.
He didn't exactly want to be put in the loony bin just yet so he would be quiet about what was going on until he was sure what were his new life's memories and his old memories were.
Xander smiled, he personally wanted Jack to get into contact with his family as he seemed lonely but Xander shook his head and decided that he would make sure Jack was never lonely again and he personally wanted to meet Jack's family.
They walked towards the stargate and Xander looked at it and seeing it for the first time since his father had decided to take him to see it. As he remembered Mara and Bra'Tac a memory of Tony and Jessica appeared and he found that his good memories were stronger than his bad ones.
'No,' Xander thought, 'I cannot be Xander Harris again,' he thought about himself in the past as Xander Harris and shook his head; he was now a monster worse than Deadboy's past as Angelus, until he heard a voice say, 'No, you were nowhere near as bad as Angelus; he was a monster who enjoyed killing, you are a warrior who has a sense of honour.'
Xander shook his head and thought, 'Yep, better prepare for some real crazy thoughts for a bit,' and as they went into the Stargate he wondered, 'Maybe, just maybe, I'm a better man thanks to Bra'Tac's influences and Mara's love, they were certainly better than my own actual parents.'
He waited while Jack got permission from the General for him to go out in public again he laughed slightly at the fact he had to get permission to go on his own home world and another thought occurred to him: Was he younger than Jack or older? Technically he was only born like 17 years ago but he had almost a century of experience of being a warrior on alien worlds.
Jack came out and said, "Good news Xan, he says you can come home with me whenever you want."
Xander raised an eyebrow and said, "Jack, will you call your family tonight?"
"Umm, maybe," Jack said, "Right now I am just glad you're still alive Xan so I'm going to introduce you to more Earth culture."
"I suppose," Xander said softly, though his memories were coming back faster now and he was pretty sure that he knew a bit about Earth culture, maybe he would take Daniel Jackson's offer to teach him and Teal'c.
As they walked through the base and to the parking lot Xander noticed Jack was getting protective of him and realized that Jack was really afraid of losing him, as they left the base in Jack's car Jack turned on Xander and said, "Like I told you on that planet; don't ever just surrender yourself like that."
Xander looked at his feet and said, "Jack, it was justice they sought and he had every right to hate Teal'c and I, we did kill his father."
"I know," Jack said angrily, "And I was planning on taking him down next, I mean if the Jaffa hadn't attacked they would've killed you two."
"Jack," Xander whispered, "You don't have to shoulder so much pain. You don't always have to be strong for me, let me be strong for you Jack."
"Oh," Jack said quietly as Xander took him into a kiss and muttered, "As much as I would like to continue this, I'm still driving."
"Maybe," Xander said, "You could teach me to drive," and added, "And also what I need to do to be strong for you."
"Lemme think on that," Jack said with a blush on his face and smiled softly, he felt warm; who would've thought he would have met the perfect man and he was an alien?
Xander made a mental note to thank General Hammond for allowing him to visit Jack whenever he wanted, he could definitely get used to visiting Jack whenever he could.
As they drove to Jack's Xander noticed Jack was getting nervous, he looked at Jack and said, "Are you alright?"
"No," Jack growled, "I'm not, I'm going to be making contact with my brother in law's family for the first time in years and I told you what happened, right?"
"Yes Jack, you did," Xander said remembering the story as he grasped Jack's hand.
"Well anyways, I was mad at first," Jack growled, "And so full of grief, so I attached myself to my nephews after the mission to Abydos and that's when Melody and Victor began to get annoyed at me, they felt like I was trying to turn them into Charlie and that's when it went bad and that's all I'll say about that."
"May I have your nephew's names?" Xander asked, curious about Jack's family, "I mean I might meet them soon, right?"
"Yeah," Jack said, "Andrew and Tucker. Though, like I said; it's been years, I don't even know if they want to see old Uncle Jack."
Xander searched his mind, he knew the name Tucker from somewhere and it was in Xander Harris's memories but he couldn't be sure, he asked, "So where do they live?"
"Oh some craphole town called Sunnydale," Jack said with a snort, "I've only been there once and I didn't like it there."
'Gods,' Xander thought, 'Sunnydale? Of course it had to be Sunnydale!' He shook his head, 'Do I know his nephews or not?' as he thought, 'No, I have never really met Jack's nephews before.'
"Well anyways," Jack said, "I'm going to call them tonight and I want you to be there with me."
"Always Jack," Xander said, "I will be here for you always."
