A/N: I attempted Scooby speak and hope it came out ok. It can be seen in some of the grammar mistakes and words. I hope you like the chapter.

A/N: This is an Alternate Universe where both the SGC and the Super Natural World exist as one. As always in my stories the seasons will mix and match and may not follow what you would expect. Please keep this in mind when reading.

Part 9 It's not a hell dimension but just on case

Breakfast finished the group broke up to attend to their tasks. Tara went to pack bags for them. She was glad to do this simple task because it calmed her. She was very upset about Giles losing his family. She understood how important a loving family member could be. She felt a tear fall as she remembered her mother. She hoped that they could comfort Cassie and make her feel at home. She pulled out three bags and began to pack them. She decided to pack for three days just on case. If they needed more they could always buy it. She packed with care and efficiency. A suit or two for Oz. She smiled at this. He looked so damned fine dressed up. Of course he was far more comfortable in cargo pants or loose fitting jeans but he would deal. Oz more than any of them understood the need to keep up appearances. She pulled out several dresses for herself and Willow along with a few pairs of pants just on case.

Dawn packed with care. She put in a very nice dress for the funeral along with some other clothing that would be considered nice. Of course like all of the gang she packed cloths to fight in. She wondered if she should pack for Buffy when her sister came in. She looked over at Buffy who pulled a bag out from under the bed. Well at least she didn't have to pack for her.

"I'm packed Dawn. I set this bag up for Giles and my trip to England and it should be ok along with my dress which is hanging on the door."

"I hope you packed shoes." Dawn teased.

Buffy glared at her for a moment. "Yes, all packed and so not funny. I am not as bad about them anymore."

"Says the girl with fifteen pairs."

"Yeah, well time was I would have had fifty or more. Hurry up we have to be there on time or lose our ride."

"Ok, so how did Giles manage that one?"

"He didn't the president offered. He said something about talking about working together as well." Buffy explained.

"Ah, so that explains all the weapons. You think he might try to use Cassie to force the issue?"

"Yeah, it is a possibility." Buffy said with a frown. "I'd like to trust the guy, really I would but, he's working with Kinsey and that's bad."

"Kinsey? Who is that?"Dawn asked not recognizing the name. It sounded like she should know it but it escaped her. She then remembered he had endorsed Hayes and helped him win over some segments of the voters. How was this a problem though? She wasn't sure.

"He backed Maggie Walsh in the Sunnydale HGC program." Buffy said softly.

"Oh shit, that's bad." Dawn said.

"Yeah, that's why Faith and I are loading for bear. We're not expecting it to go smooth."

There was nothing Dawn could really say to that. Buffy was right they had better be ready for things to become fubar.

Samantha Carter awoke with a start. She froze for a moment not knowing where she was. Then it hit her, she was at Janet's house. She sat up in bed wondering what woke her. She got up slowly pulling on a robe and slippers. She padded down to the kitchen and found Cassie staring at the juice she just poured herself. She came in slowly so not to startle her. "Cassie, are you ok?"

Cassie turned and ran straight into Sam's arms. "I'm scared Aunt Sam." She hugged her tightly. Sam was shocked but held on. She loved this child deeply. She had once even considered adopting her. However, it wouldn't have been fair. Her job was dangerous. A tear fell. Damn it Janet was a doctor a healer she should have been safe. It was insane that she was gone. "I got you honey. No one will ever hurt you. We will keep you safe."

"Thanks for offering, but you can't, you and the others would try but, in the end the NID would win. You can't keep me safe here. It is not possible."

"Oh sweetheart, we will protect you. You're our family."

"I know Aunt Sam, I know you would try but, please listen to me. I need you to listen because...well just because. I have to have your help and support because Uncle Daniel and Uncle Jack won't see reason. Uncle Teal'c he would just try to take me away someplace safe with the others. You can't do that. Earth needs you all here. I would be a distraction to the mission."

Sam began to protest but it fell silent at the look from very old eyes. "Aunt Sam I love you all. I do not want to lose any of you. I need you in my life. Only, now is not the time. It is too dangerous for you. Uncle Teal'c is an alien and you have had Jolinar. The NID will use that to keep me from you both. Alien influence or some such bull shit. Kinsey wants me as a lab rat. Uncle Daniel well he was locked up as crazy and everyone knows how close Uncle Jack was to killing himself. There is no way that they could be considered fit guardians. Plus you and Uncle Jack are officers in the USAF. Your jobs are risky and that against you."

"We could resign..."

"Yeah, you and Uncle Jack resign to raise me. Ok let's look at this with care. Kinsey and company will just recall you to court marshal you. He will say you were always in a relationship. If you and Uncle Daniel try then you would have to leave Uncle Jack forever. Teal'c is still married and even if he is estranged he loves Drayac. Alone you would be a target as much as me. I need to go with Uncle Rupert. He can keep me safe."

"No! No way are you going with some guy we have never met!" This was shouted from the door. They turned to see a very irate Jack O'Neill followed by Daniel and Teal'c.

A sheepish Daniel explained."We let ourselves in. Ah...we got donuts..."

Jack glared at him then turned back to Cassie and Sam. "Cassie you are as close to a daughter as I ever had. I am not letting you go with some guy we do not know."

The phone rang. Sam picked up her cell which was sitting on the table charging. "Hello, Sir, no sir we just got up. What...how the ...ah sir we will be in as quickly as possible. Yes, General he's here. I will give him the phone while I go change sir." Sam handed the phone to Jack. "We have a breach in the computers, Sir."

Jack cursed as he took the phone. Sam ran for the stairs to dress calling behind her. "Cassie we need you dressed too."

"Why...oh all right I swear I am going to kill him."Cassie mumbled under her breathe because she had no doubts whatsoever on who had breached the computers at the SGC. Of course she could not tell her family that her other family was checking up on them. No, that would be too easy. She smiled despite her grief because she suddenly thought the meeting might be fun. Too bad it was not for a happier reason. She ran upstairs to hide her tears and dress. She could not decide if she wanted to laugh or cry and oddly enough that made her feel slightly better because she was not alone. Cassie smiled now as she knew she was loved and would be safe. Well safe as long as both groups didn't try to kill each other. Well it was smile or laugh hysterically like a mad woman. She was inot/i going to lose it. She was stronger than that and she owed it to her mother to show some restraint.

Jack cursed silently as he listened to General Hammond's concerns. "We will be there as soon as Carter and Cassie dress sir. We just got here. Yes, sir we will bring her stuff. I agree it is not safe for her here. Sir, we spotted two NID vans."

There was silence then a very cold "I see, Jack get back here as quickly as you can. I am calling the President. He promised to call off the NID."

"Sir, with respect they could be the black ops version."

"Maybe, however we can't have this. Especially now, not if we are to keep Cassie safe and with us."

"Sir, I do not understand?"Jack said. He had thought Cassie remaining with the SGC was a given. "Where would Cassie go sir?"

"Jack, I...just get her to the mountain as fast as you can. You have my authorization to use any means necessary. I will explain it when you get here."

"Yes sir."Jack said not liking it in the least. He was suddenly worried that everything was going to hell in a hand basket. He had no idea why and that pissed him off. Whatever the president thought there was no way in hell they were letting Cassandra Fraiser be in danger. He looked over and Daniel and Teal'c.

"I agree O'Neill we will keep Cassandra Fraiser safe."

"I am in Jack, Janet was a friend and... we all owe her."

Jack smiled and knew his team would go along with him in doing whatever was needed to keep their youngest member safe.
