"Right where do I start?" Walter said frowning at the carpet for a moment. "James." He said pointing to the teenage foster kid. "You're easier to explain so I'll start with you. Jack, James is the great nephew of one of Dr. Jackson's colleges, when he died he named Dr. Jackson as James' legal guardian. He was causing trouble trying to find out classified information so it was decided it was best he was told about the base and signed the non-disclosure agreement. Along with that he requested he was given an alert system so that should anything happen to him because of his connection to the SGC he would be able to phone an off duty officer and get some help. That's what he did when you turned up asking to talk to not one but two people from base and claiming to be related to Colonel O'Neill who he knows doesn't have any siblings." Walter stopped and checked that Jack had got all that before carrying on, "Jack you're harder. James Jack is Jack O'Neill, and he is connected to the Colonel. A few months back a rogue asguard tried to clone Jack in hopes of using his genetics to help stop them from dying out. The clone didn't mature properly due to a genetic marker placed in Jack to stop just that from happening. At first his clone was very unwell."

"Hey I'm right here you know." Complained Jack

"Sorry, anyway once the situation was sorted Thor turned up and managed to save that clone. Jack didn't want to just be a second Colonel so he decided to go back to high school. We placed him with a foster family and he was doing fine. Or so we thought. We have been keeping tabs just in case something happened."

"Right, so your Jacks like mini me." Said James

"No, I was and I still have all of Jacks memories before I was cloned but since then I've become my own person and Jack has probably changed to." The clone said defensively. James relaxed with the idea that the teenager was as mature and trust worthy as his original.

"Okay. Thanks Walter, for coming. As long as I know I'm fine. He can stay here till they get back."

"They've been sent off world at short notice again." Jack asked carefully.

"Seems so." Walter said standing up and looking back at the two teens. "You sure you don't want to stay with me Jack?"

"You have to little kids don't you?" Jack said screwing up his face.

"Yeah."

"I'll pass." Walter shrugged and went over to the door. James let him out then looked back at Jack.

"So, you know all about everything SG-1 did before you were cloned?"

"Don't even bother. I'm not telling you anything. But thanks for letting me crash."

"It's fine. I'd love the chance to go back and redo my life. In a way you had that. You can remember what it was like doing it one way and now you get to try it another."

"Trust me redoing puberty is not nice. Also there are a lot of laws I disagree with. I can't buy beer, I can't carry a gun and I can't even do it with my girl friend with out breaking some law."

"You really haven't got the hang of this have you? One. Getting beer is easy and cheaper when you're a teen. Two. only the father gives a damn about the girlfriends virginity and three who needs a gun anyway."

"I think I might not mind waiting here as much as I thought." Jack said smiling at the more experienced teenager.
