A Life Unknown
Summary: After Buffy's horrendous Graduation debacle comes to a close. Several different things come to light. The 1st being that Buffy's future will be a lot different than what she ever could have thought. That is with a father that she never knew had existed, and a father gaining a daughter that thought that he would never be a father again. How will the SGC be able to cope with a Californian Blonde running rampant throughout their halls.
PREVIOUSLY: "I can finish this a hell of a lot sooner, if you and your friend Tank would go to the house like your friends had just done. I can not go full out until I know that you all are safe. Please just go." Buffy had pleaded with Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c, trying to get them to see reason.
"My name is Teal'c Elizabeth Summers. Are you certain that you will be able to finish this on your own without the aide of myself or O'Neill's?" Teal'c asked of Buffy.
"Yes I am Teal'c." Was all that Buffy replied with, as she jumped over Goon 1's body by performing a perfect backwards somersault.
As soon as Teal'c had heard Buffy's response, he grabbed Colonel O'Neill and placed him over his shoulder in a fireman's hold, and then ran towards the house while ignoring the Colonel's shouts of fury.
As soon as they had reached the house, it was only then that Teal'c had lowered Colonel O'Neill to the ground.
"Why in the hell did you do that T. We can not just leave her out there to handle them by herself!" Colonel O'Neill exclaimed directly to his friend and colleague.
"I am sorry O'Neill, but as Miss. Summers had stated previously, this is her battle-ground. As you can clearly see, your daughter is more than capable to take care of things herself." Teal'c stated, as he calmly pointed out to what is now a one on one fight between Buffy and Goon 1.
"What on earth is all this talk of this man being Buffy's father?" Giles asked the group of people that were now gathered inside of what is now Buffy's home.
"That is what I would like to know as well." Everyone turned to see Buffy putting her stake through Goon 1's chest, just as she asked the question and began to make her way to the house herself, now that the remaining Vampires had been dusted and ready for filling a dust buster.
A/N: In this story, Buffy will still be 17 and a minor for some of this to work. Plus, I am going to be adding another Slayer in the mix to allow Buffy to leave the Hell-Mouth. You will just have to wait to see who and how this will come to be. I hope that you like this. I am not sure of the Stargate Time line, but there will be no special order to their Big Bads. Some things will be the same, but some will be different.
A/N II: I would like to thank everyone for their reviews and feedback on this story. I promise to try and take other thoughts into consideration.
Chapter 5
"I believe that we should take this to somewhere that is more comfortable, other than the front foyer." President Hayes stated, just as soon as Buffy had joined the group.
"I agree completely. I am going to make myself a cup of coffee." Buffy said, as she began to walk towards the kitchen, but stopped and turned around before she even made it to the dining room. "Sorry. That was rude of me. I was not thinking completely. Would anyone else like anything while I am in there? We have coffee, but I must warn you I like it rather strong. I believe that we also have some tea, water, and some soda. Dr. Pepper and Mt. Dew to be exact." Buffy asked the group that was making their ways to the living room.
"I love strong coffee, so that would be fine." Daniel Jackson spoke first, breaking the tension.
"Tea would be lovely dear girl." Giles spoke out kindly, causing Colonel Jack O'Neill to send a slight glare his way.
Buffy had noticed the look from the man that claimed to be her father, and only rolled her eyes at his theatrics.
"Anything else for anyone?" Buffy asked the group in front of her. When she had received no answer, Buffy decided to just bring a pitcher of ice water out for anyone else that needed something to drink.
As Buffy left to head to the kitchen, everyone else began to head to the living room.
SG1, President Hayes, and Giles, had chosen to take their seats filling up all of the furniture in the room only leaving the single recliner available for Buffy to sit in. This giving the Secret Service Agents a job at securing the doors and windows of the home that they were now in.
"So...Are you the same Rupert Giles that used to be the Curator of the British Museum?" Daniel Jackson asked of Giles, trying to break the silence that had fallen on the room.
"Yes I am. Are you the same Daniel Jackson that claimed that the pyramids were landing sites for alien spaceships?" Giles asked back directly.
"Yes, I actually am." Daniel Jackson stated, as his face turned a certain shade of red.
"I really don't think that you will ever live that one down Space Monkey." Colonel O'Neill stated with a laugh, breaking even more tension in the room.
"How are all of you coping with what you have learned this evening?" Giles asked of SG1 that was sitting on the couch.
"It should not be theoretically or physically possible for any type of being to dematerialize the molecules of the human body enough to turn to a pile of dust. It just doesn't happen." Major Samantha Carter stated,still in shock of the previous happenings.
"That is your first mistake, Major is it?" At Major Carters nod, Giles continued on. "You stated the human body. Vampires do not hold any part of their human side left after the change. There has only been one exception to that rule." Giles stated succinctly.
"What is the exception that you are referring to Rupert Giles." Teal'c asked firmly.
"He is talking about Angel. He is...I guess you could say a sometime colleague. If I remember right, he actually left town as soon as the fight was over with. He is not really that big on the aftermath. He was cursed with his Human Soul after attacking an important member of a Gypsy Clan. Here you guys go. Go ahead and help yourselves to whatever." Buffy said, as she entered the living room to join the group, just before setting the tray of drinks down on the coffee table.
"Now that we are all here, let us get down to business. Firstly, I would like to apologize for your loss of your mother Miss. Summers. I am sure that she was a wonderful woman." President Hayes began, but was cut off by Buffy.
"Thank you Sir." Buffy said, before allowing the President to continue on.
"Of course. Secondly, the main reason as to why I am here is to discuss what you are planning to do next. I realize that you still have a few more months left before you can legally be considered an adult, but I came over some information that may be of importance to you. I realize that you were led to believe that Hank Summers was your father, however that seems to not be the case. Once Quentin Travers, head of the Watchers Council told me about cutting you and your Watcher off of the Slaying go to line, I took a personal stake...forgive the pun, into your case. I also found a way that I could intervene." President Hayes stated.
"Does this have to do with Tank...I mean Teal'c saying that Colonel no tact is my father?" Buffy asked her question.
"Yes it does a matter of fact. According to your Birth Certificate, Joyce Summers stated that Colonel Jack O'Neill is your Birth Father. However it had come to be that you had received Hank Summers's last name I do not know, but biologically, you are the Colonel's daughter. Legally you are to go with him after the unfortunate demise of your mother's death. I realize that you are still the Slayer, and you will still need your Watcher to help with your training and such..." President Hayes began, but Daniel Jackson spoke up.
"I have just been asked to hire a new translator for my department at the place where we work and live. Where you yourself Buffy would be living. I am in need of someone that is able to read Ancient Latin, and seeing as though Dr. Giles does in fact read it, I would be able to hire him. Also, with him already having the Clearance needed for our work helps as well." Daniel Jackson stated, picking up exactly where the President had ended.
"No matter what, I would have to go with the Colonel wouldn't I? What would I do with everything that is here? What about my mom? I can not just bury her here, and then just up and leave her here. I can not and will not do that. I would be more than happy to get the hell away from the Hell-Mouth and all, but I refuse to leave my mother here." Buffy stated firmly, telling everyone that she would not abandon her mother, body or anything.
"Hey there Elizabeth. Sorry about us throwing all of this stuff on you right now, but this is all new to me too. I can not promise that everything will be all coming up roses and stuff, but I have missed having a family since I had lost my son. I guess your brother, and I would be more than pleased for you to come and live with me. As for everything here, I guess that that is your choice. If you do not want to have your mother buried here, I guess we could set up some transfer orders to have her transported back to Colorado Springs and buried there. If I remember right, your mother owned an Art Gallery. Did she move it here once you all left LA?" Colonel O'Neill asked of his daughter.
"You can actually do that! She doesn't have to be buried here? Let's do that. That way the Hell-Mouth would have one less victim buried here. And about the Gallery, yes she did move it here. I really do want to get the hell out of dodge, and since their is a new Guardian coming, I can. What will I do with everything that is in the Gallery?" Buffy asked to no one in particular.
"Of course we can. It actually happens a lot more than you think. As for the Gallery items and such, it is luck that one of my best friends is an Archeologist. I am sure that he can help organize the transfer and sale of the items once we get back to Colorado Springs. I was also thinking that while we are going to be here at least a couple of days to pack up both properties, we could hold some sort of Memorial Service for your mom's friends here. So they have a chance to say goodbye before we leave here." Colonel O'Neill said to his daughter softly.
"That sounds good, but her only friends that she has had here have already been victims here. There really is nobody left except my friends that would want to say goodbye to her. Would you be able to help me with the selling of the house and Gallery? I really do not want any reminders here except my friends." Buffy asked of her new father.
Before Colonel O'Neill had a chance to reply, President Hayes spoke up to the group.
"Since everything has been hashed out here, I really must head back towards Washington. I am glad that I was able to help you Miss. Summers, even if it was minutely. If you ever need anything, your father's boss knows how to reach me if you ever do. I will be leaving a car here for Colonel O'Neill and the rest of his team to use since I will be taking the one that we came in with. I hope that you have a good life here on out Miss. Summers." President Henry Hayes stated, just before walking out of the house to head back to his car, along with all of his men that had come with him.
"Wow, I never guessed that the house could hold so many large people. Is there some sort of law that states that they have to be a certain size of large to work for the man?" Buffy asked of no one in particular again.
"No, I don't think that is a law so to speak..." Colonel O'Neill began, but was cut off by a knock at the door.
"Hold on a minute guys. I will be right back. I am really not expecting anyone.." Buffy said offhandedly, as she stood up from her seat to make her way to the front door to see who was stopping by so late.
As soon as Buffy had answered the front door, she was completely shocked at who was on the other side.
"WHAT IN THE SAM HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Buffy growled out, just before continuing on. "I figured that you would have been halfway to LA by now. So tell me Angel, what is it that I can help you with right now? I am fairly certain that you are breaking your own promise to me at this exact moment." Buffy said to Angel in a short clipped tone that shocked not only him, but even herself.
"I just wanted to make sure that you were alright before I left town for good. I know that I said that you wouldn't see me after the fight, but I just had to see that you were all good. Who were those people that were just here a little while ago Buffy?" Angel asked of Buffy, trying to move closer to the door, thinking that she would have let him inside by now.
"It is not any of your concern anymore of how I am Angel. I have a bit of some important stuff to take care of at this point in time Angel, so I am just going to say goodbye right now. And also to answer your previous question, I am so far from alright right now that it isn't even funny. Just go and do what you said that you would do earlier and leave." Buffy said, just as she shut the door, praying that he actually does in fact leave her alone and not speak to her again.
"Who was it Buffy?" Giles asked of his young Slayer.
"It was just Angel, Giles. He's gone for now, and hopefully for longer." Buffy said in reply to Giles's question.
"What on earth did he want Buffy? I thought that he had already left town." Giles asked of Buffy again.
"Just wanted to make sure I was alive I guess. He must not have heard about mom, or he wouldn't have asked me how I was." Buffy responded with a slight shrug of her shoulders, as she re-claimed her previous seat.
"Are you going to be alright with everyone that is still going to be here tonight Buffy? I want to go by and just double check on the others for tonight. Would it be alright to come by tomorrow afternoon with the others, or do you want me to come back later on tonight? If I do wait until tomorrow, all of us can help you and myself with finalizing any of yours or my own plans that either of us needs any help with." Giles asked Buffy, as he began to stand up from his seat to leave for the night.
As soon as Giles began to stand up from his seat, Buffy began to mirror his movements as well to follow him to the front door to show him out properly, just like her mother had taught her to do.
"Tomorrow would be good Giles. That way it gives me some time to get to know daddy dearest and company a bit more. Thank you for everything today Giles. I guess that I will see you and the gang tomorrow then." Buffy said, as she moved to give her friend and Watcher a hug goodbye.
"Do try dear girl to at least eat a little bit, and to get some rest this evening. That also means NO PATROLLING either. We don't want this new Slayer to go and run to that Pompous Ass of a man Travers. Goodnight Buffy." Giles said, just before leaving the house completely for the rest of the night.
As soon as Buffy made it back to living room, she noticed that her father's big guy friend had taken his hat off that showed the symbol that was on his head.
"Soooooo, why do you have the mark of Apophis imbedded on your forehead? You do realize that he was the God of Darkness and Evil in Ancient Egypt, don't you?" Buffy asked, just after looking at the symbol for only a moment.
"How do you know what this symbol means Elizabeth?" Dr. Daniel Jackson asked of Buffy, once she was fully seated once again.
"Well according to the Ancient Egyptian Gods and such, Apophis was the God of Evil like I said a moment ago. He was also the Neumero Uno enemy of Ra, which if I remember from my books on Hieroglyphs was actually pronounced Ray. I guess that Ra represents sunlight, warmth, and growth. I guess there was some big showdown way back when, when Ra kicked Apep, that it another name for Apophis BTW, out of Egypt. If I remember my readings right, Apophis also went by the names Aapep, Apepi, Apep, and Apophis. After that showdown, the Ancient Egyptians revered Ra as the god who created everything. Also known as the Sun God, Ra was a powerful deity and a central god of the Egyptian pantheon." Buffy ended her babble, just as soon as she had realized that everyone was staring at her.
"Elizabeth? You can read Egyptian Hieroglyphs? How and where did you learn to read them?" Dr, Daniel Jackson asked the young lady that was in front of them.
"Enough to know some key words that would help me to reference something that is translated to either English, Latin, or another dialect among those lines that I know of. I learned from the books from the School Library and all of the different artifacts that mom has, I mean had set up in her Egyptian exhibit that is in the Gallery right now. And, please just call me Buffy. Plus, what's wrong with knowing other languages?" Buffy asked, not liking how the Archeologist was looking at her with the wheels turning in his head.
"Nothing is wrong with it. I guess it is just not everyday that a High School Student is able to read on of the hardest languages on Earth is all. How many languages are you actually able to read? If you do not mind me asking that is." Daniel Jackson asked of the young girl in front of him.
"Ummmm, Give me a minute to think." Buffy said, as she began to count the number in her head and began the adding on her fingers. "I don't really know. I lost track after I ran out of fingers. I am not fully able to speak or read all of the ones that I know of, but I know enough to help me find the translated forms in English. If you ask Giles, I am quite certain that he will tell you that I still need work on my English." Buffy ended with a chuckle, before jumping up and asking the group another question. "So, who all here is hungry?" Buffy asked, as she began to make her way to the kitchen.
As soon as Buffy had left the living room, the members of SG1 stood up and followed her into the kitchen.
"I am sorry that I had put you on the spot like that. If you want some help with the Gallery, I would be more than happy to help. We could just box up everything and have it shipped out to Colorado Springs to give us time to price everything to get the best value out of it." Daniel Jackson stated, as he followed Jack and Sam into the kitchen.
"Thanks that would be 5 by 5 with me." Buffy said, but instantly became sad once she had said it before continuing on with what she was saying. "I really am not sure as to what all is in there, but I could use the help with everything in there. We do not have much prepared for dinner, but I have a couple of frozen lasagnas in the freezer if it is all right with you all? It should only take about a half an hour or so." Buffy said, as she began to pull out the casserole dishes out of the freezer, along with the items in the fridge to make up a salad too.
"That sounds good, but if you do not feel like cooking we could always just order some pizzas or something." Colonel O'Neill stated, after noticing how tired his daughter truly was.
"No we can't. There are no deliveries after sundown, and I wouldn't send any of you out to get it. Let's just eat what we have here. It is not a problem trust me." Buffy said, as she took the aluminum foil off of the dishes after she had started the oven.
"Do you want some help with the salad Buffy? I can make it if you want." Major Samantha Carter had asked the young girl in front of her.
"Sure that would be great. Since that is taken care of, and the food is in the oven, I am going to head upstairs to clean up and take a quick shower. Go ahead and help yourselves to whatever you want to drink. We have tons of Coffee and several types of juices, and in the cabinet above the fridge, there are a few bottles of alcohol that mom kept for guests and stuff. I will be back down shortly." Buffy said to the group, just before running upstairs to hide the fact that she was about to start crying again.
"Do you realize how rare it is to find someone that knows how to read and understand Egyptian Hieroglyphs? There are only a handful of people other than the Egyptians themselves. Also add in the fact that she admitted to understanding Ancient Latin as well. She would make an extremely good asset to the language department back at the Mountain, and so would that Mr. Giles guy if he actually reads them as well. Considering that she got her hands on her Watcher's books, it is a safe bet that he does. However, that is not what is of importance right now." Daniel Jackson stopped his own babble, at the glare that he received from his friend Jack.
"I happened to take a look at her school transcripts on the way here Sir, and I believe that she has purposely lowered the amount of knowledge that she truly has on her school work. Especially with the IQ Test that she was asked to take once she was re-admitted back into the school after her expulsion last year. Plus, her scores on the SAT's are extremely high as well." Samantha Carter added in, as she continued on working on the salad.
"What do you mean on purposely? Why would anyone purposely do worse than what they are able to do? Also, what school records are you talking about Carter?" Colonel Jack O'Neill asked of his 2IC.
