Part 28 What are you doing here?
Harry Mayborne looked up in shock. He saw Ethan and sighed. "Ethan? What are you doing here and with Jaffa?"
Ethan grinned at his friend and said "I thought you might like some help. Those Air Force patrols were coming close to your position. Plus I thought you might like to help me deal with our mutual friends. I do believe that it might be less awkward if we were to meet and greet them together."
"Ah huh, I might buy that but you are a Goa'uld." He pulled a weapon but was zatted from behind.
Ethan sighed. Edgar I told you to let me do the talking.
Well I had to warn him.
"Well I guess we can wait until he wakes up. Arlan please monitor the situation while I deal with Harry."
"Yes, my lord." Arlan said as he walked over. He had stunned the Tau'ri to protect his god. However, he could see how the god's sudden appearance might unnerve a Tau'ri soldier. He took his station and began watching the inside of the SGC. He was amazed at the advances Lord Ethan had made to the scanners. He was truly a powerful god.
Ethan motioned for two guards to help him life Harry up. The set him in a chair and he sat next to him. Some days nothing went smoothly.
General Hammond looked around and noted that Cassandra was still being protected. Rupert Giles was keeping the girl firmly behind him even as the blonde Buffy checked his arm out. The other two young women seemed to be very concerned as they examined the wounds.
"One shot went straight through." Tara said. "That one is not too bad of a wound. It hit flesh and no bone. It will hurt badly but I am not sensing any nerve damage or anything. The other is just above your heart Giles."
Willow growled at that. "It was a heart Shot. If you had not turned..."
"Then I would have killed everyone on this base." Buffy said firmly. She turned to Henry Hayes and glared. "We trusted you. You had damned well have a good explanation for this or the Slayer teams will all be leaving the United States. I will not risk my people for your sorry asses. In fact the way I am feeling we might just leave this world. "
Henry Hayes paled. "Miss Summers this was-"
Faith spoke up. "World hopping B? I thought you wanted to stay on Earth?"
"Not seeing why right now." Xander piped in. "I mean there are lots of worlds to choose from. Some even are free of the fuglies."
"Yeah, but Boy Toy that would be boring." Faith snarked. "I get the reason. I am so not feeling warm and fuzzy either. If the queen wants to leave you got my vote not that you would need it."
Buffy smiled at Faith and suddenly she knew the past was done and they were ok. "Faith you are as important in this as I am. I value yours and the others input, never doubt that."
Buffy looked back at Hayes. "We are all going to go inside now. We will find a place to sit and talk this out. You have one chance and one chance only to give me and my family an explanation for this shit. If I do not find it to be honest we are out of here. We will all leave and we will inform her majesty of what has occurred and what we will do. If we have to we will leave this planet. I am not letting another Sunny Hell happen. Right now these people remind me of Walsh and her NID Goons. I am so not dealing with that."
O'Neill said "Hey we aren't the NID!"
"Colonel, Shut up!" The president shouted. "You have caused enough trouble and maybe an international incident. If you speak out of turn one more time I will through you in the brig and toss the key away!"
O'Neill swallowed hard. He looked over at the General his look saying he believed the president was compromised.
"Mr. President what is going on here? Who are these people?" Hammond asked. He knew things had gone fubar but this was not expected. His people had saved the planet many times and deserved some respect. Yet the president was clearly afraid of the threat these people represented. He wanted to stop it and keep his commander and chief safe. However, to do that he had to know who and what they were. Why was the president terrified they would leave? More importantly how the hell could they leave the planet without the gate? "Why are they important?"
Henry Hayes laughed ruefully. "They do a job every bit as important as the SGC and without any real support until recently. These young people have saved the world every year since 1994 at least once. If they leave the United States thousands will die if not more. If they leave the planet then we are doomed to face hell on Earth. I mean that literally. "
Faith snorted. "Like it's such a paradise now."
"Faith, it is better than it could have been." Giles said. "Can you repair my arm Tara?"
"Maybe but, Giles the second shot took out some nerves and its torn the muscles badly, plus there bullet went up and out it shattered the bone. It will take time to heal."
"Just seal the wounds for now." Giles said. "We have a meeting to conduct. General you might want to call some medical personal for your wounded. Be warned that if you try anything my people will resort to lethal force. "
"We will not start anything." Hammond said. He looked at his people and said. "Stand down. This is all a misunderstanding. I am sure we can work it out. Colonel O'Neill was simply protecting his niece."
Buffy spun around and faced him. "That's bull shit. The only one Cassandra is related to is Giles. She is not even an American citizen she is Canadian and British. I wonder what your allies would think of this welcome. I mean Giles here he has diplomatic status."
Hammond froze at that. He had been told it but, until now the implications had not really registered. He frowned as the elevators opened and several Air Force people came out. He swallowed hard as they ran toward them weapons drawn. He was about to order them to stand down when to his shock one of them called out.
"Lord Giles are you and Lady Buffy injured?" Colonel David Richards asked.
Hammond looked up and saw it was SGA-13. The British team that was supposed to be heading for Atlantis on the next mission. They were not drawing weapons on their guest but on him and the members of the SGC.
"We are not harmed Dave."
Buffy snorted at that. "No you just have two holes in your shoulder."
Richards looked at Hammond and glared. "Do you need help taking the base? Have the American's been compromised?"
George Hammond suddenly realized this could be a major problem for the SGC internationally. Who ever these people were their allies trusted them implicidly and that was frightening as he had no idea on who or what they were.
Faith smirked and said. "G-Man when did you and B get hitched?"
Giles would have been cleaning his glasses if not for the fact his arm was wounded.
Buffy blushed and then smirked herself. "About as long as you and Xander. I mean since Sunndales last battle if not sooner."
Faith froze. "Hell no..."
Xander looked hurt but Faith stopped him from turning away."If I'm getting hitched boytoy has to do it right."
"You know Xan Faith has a point." Oz said smirking."A ring be cool."
Xander's jaw dropped and he looked at Giles for help. Giles grinned and held Buffy's hand up. She had a ring on her left hand.
"Gzzz... I guess I am slow..."
TBC...
