Kajos: Back again. Wow, I'm becoming almost regular with the updates. The story continues…

It was a few weeks before Daniel went off world. Hammond was in the process of stepping down and Daniel was helping organise things for the Atlantis expedition who were leaving soon. So James had a chance to settle into his knew life at least a bit. He'd set his alarm half an hour earlier so he could freak out and get to school on time. Daniel didn't shout at him now. He didn't scream so it was all right, in the other life, he was starting to get old and so now he just sort of went into over the top mortal terror mode. Daniel generally left him for the first half an hour then came in with some Tea. After that he got up and sorted himself out.

He was almost normal by the time Jon turned up and so far he hadn't done anything at school, which was great, role on the good times he said. Jon hadn't even had to see him weird out yet. He didn't want to be a freak and so far that was going well. He had got the wrong language once or twice but that was all.

Now though Daniel was going off world and so was Jack so Jon and him had decided to stay round at Jack's. He had the large house and the bigger guest rooms so it made sense, plus Jack had Cable, Daniel just had all the History channels, which James really didn't want to watch anymore. The idea of watching things about dead civilisation he might have to relive and how they fell apart just made him start wondering if he had once known the skeletons, which was weird.

The day Daniel went off world Jon had ice hockey so James sat and finished up his work for the day and fiddled with a few programs he was working on. He looked up when he heard a fight on the ice. It was practise so fights were unusual. Jon and the team captain were being pulled off each other. Jon was fighting on the ice? He was an enforcer but he didn't fight. He was too good. The coach sent both of them off the ice and for some reason the captain glared at James as he skated off. He should probably learn their names but he barely knew the names of people he shared classes with and he just didn't want to get to know the idiots on the ice hockey team. Jon spent all his time complaining about how they were jerks.

He wandered down to the locker rooms to see what was up with Jon. When he opened the door he could see the damaged they'd done. Jon had bloodied the captain's nose and the captain had given Jon a black eye.

"Hey, Jack, when did you start getting in fights? If the colonel find out your gonna get it in the neck." He said leaning against the back of the door.

"Yeah. Jack. What's you military uncle going to think?" The Captain snarled at him twisting his name to make a point of the fact that James still called him Jack even though he was Jon to everyone else. James got the sense there was something else going on here he wasn't picking up on.

"He'd understand." Jon said ignoring the third teen and focusing on James. "Look, I'll be out in a minute just leave us to it." James starred at him.

"If he comes out with any extra blood on him I am not covering for you." He said before leaving. Jon starred at the captain.

"Ah, he going to tell on you Jack?" The captain mocked smiling at the enraged reaction. "Better not do anything or he might get annoyed at you." Jon moved till he was standing over the slightly older boy.

"Your just a bigoted looser. I hope some day you grow up and work out that not all relationships are about your dick and that not all friends are arseholes to each other." He said then having already stripped his pads he grabbed his stuff and left. He would shower at home.

James was leaning against the car.

"So, what was all that about?"

"Nothing, he's been pissed at me for a while."

"Why?"

"Because I made it clear that you're to be left alone."

"What? Jack, I can look after myself."

"James, it's my job to keep you safe. That means laying down the law to my team mates that you are not going to be a punch bag for them."

"No, your 'job' is to keep me safe from the NID and myself if I go loopy. Not from the school bullies. I can manage that on my own." Jon looked at him in that don't question me way. "Fine, Jon, whatever. It's not like I have any control over my life really any way." Jon sighed. James never called him Jon. Apparently he 'got to know you as Jack and wasn't going to start over'. He had only used the name twice before when he was really pissed at him and wished he could be on his own.

"Look, I'm sorry, you're right it's not my job. You're my best friend though and regardless of an air force pay packet or not I would still tell those guys to back off. They may be brainless thugs but most of them are twice your weight and none of them would know a fair fight if they walked in on one. Plus the entire SGC would have my balls if I let you get the shit kicked out of you." James laughed at that.

"I can imagine that." Living on base for three months he'd got to know most of the personnel. He'd spent quite a while playing against the guys when they were on call. "Sorry, I'm doing the whole stressed lash out thing."

"Yeah, well I can't blame you. Your right you don't have much control right now. The air force kind seem to own your life and your not even getting paid. Bright side, your set for life, you have pretty much and automatic job travelling the galaxy seeing new worlds and cultures and from what I hear of the reports you get to have wings."

"I have to admit the wings are cool, I mean I've had a few twirls in the memories but it's just not the same. I really can't wait to do it for myself, though the whole growing thing…hurts like hell."

"Right, what are you thinking for food tonight?"

"Chinese?"

"Nice choice. We can stop off and grab some now."

Kajos: and that's it for now…read and review. Hope you enjoyed it.
