Inheriting Family (Family)

Part 33 Unlikely Allies

Jon cursed and spun around ready to fight. He could not believe that someone had snatched him again. At this rate he was going to be kidnapped even more then Daniel and Jack combined and that was not a title he wanted to claim. He hit a button on his watch and hoped the signal worked. It would be just his luck that Loki had him again.

An alarm went off at the SGC and General Hammond looked to the heavens. Today was just not his day. I should have stayed in bed. No I should have stayed retired and stayed in bed. He thought.

"We have a level Alpha two threat. " Blaring claxons went off as well. "I repeat we have a level Alpha two threat."

"What's with the bells and whistles?" Xander asked.

"General that alarm is for Jon." Sam said looking worried. "It means he has activated his homing beacon."

"Well this is going to be a problem." Jack said "I can't exactly go save his ass like this. I kind of need both arms."

"Jack" Daniel said trying to calm his team leader down.

Jack glared. "I guess these folks will have to go save mini me. Let's see how good they really are."

Daniel sighed and knew that Jack was still really angry no make that pissed off. He could tell his friend was in pain but, for once honestly concerned for Jon. Maybe losing Janet had changed him a little? In any case Jack was right he was in no condition to lead the team. But to let the children do it. That did not sit well with Daniel at all. He forgot everything he knew as an archeologist even the fact that these kids had beaten them. He did not want to see children in harm's way.

"Who is this Jon?" Giles asked. He noticed Cassie had paled and looked afraid.

"Jon's a friend Uncle Giles. He's ah like my big brother." Cassie explained not wanting to reveal her friend's secrets. It was not hers to share.

Willow however already knew the answer. She gave Cassie a slightly dark look. "The clone Giles. Jon O'Neill is the clone of Colonel O'Neill. "

"Ah, so we must retrieve him."

The president sighed in relief. He had thought they might have to beg for help. Of course the slayers saved people but...given who it was he had not been sure that they would want to.

"Tara can you and Willow find this Jon?"

"Y-yes we can. Willow we need a map." Tara said."We can use a locater spell to find him."

"Ah not to be doubtful, but what if the boy ain't on Earth?" Faith asked. "I mean these folks deal with E.T.s"

"Faith has a point."Buffy said frowning.

"We have to start someplace. Perhaps the General has a way to check space if needed?" Giles said.

"Colonel you go see what the techs have found." The General ordered. He hoped he would have a chance to talk with the president now.

"Carter you are with me." Jack said getting up. "We can use the scanners and see if anything is in orbit at least."

"Willow, Tara, Oz see if you can prepare for the spell. Andrew, Jonathan see if you can help the Colonel. Xander, Faith you go get the supplies our witches will need to do the spell."

"On it G-man." Xander said rising. He winked at his best friend who giggled.
"What about the rest of us?" Vi asked she could tell Buffy was not happy with not being given a task either.

"Well you can stay here and speak with Colonel Makepeace. Vi, Find out about his clan for us. Buffy and I will be having a more private talk with General Hammond, and the president and perhaps Colonel Richards. We have to prepare a rescue mission."

The President nodded agreeing that it was needed. "You heard the man get moving people."

The members of the SGC- reluctantly obeyed their commander and chief. It seemed that SG-1 might have to sit out this mission. The one thing they hated was not being able to go after one of their own. Jon was that despite his being a clone. Jack left the room before he could get his other arm ripped off. Damn it hurt.

Jon looked up and froze. Mayborne? Wait Mayborne and a Gouald. This was so not good.

"Relax Jon this is not your typical kidnapping." Mayborne said. "Believe me I know." He shot Ethan a hard look. "We need your help."

"And I will help you exactly why? I mean I'm just a kid."

Ethan laughed and looked at his friend. "You said he was amusing but this ...is even more than I expected."

"Yeah, Jack can snark with the best of them. His clone is just as mouthy and worse yet he is a teenager."

That got him an indignant "Hey" from Jon. A dark look and the teen crossed his arms glaring. "Ok so my innocent act won't work."

"Yeh, kid its busted. Look we really do need your help. We have to talk to the General and Colonel and I for one don't want to end up in chains again. Look it's important a matter of life or death for a friend to all of us. So will you help or not?"

Jon glared and said. "Ok tell me what is going on?"

Ethan sighed with relief as Harry Mayborne begin filling in their teenage colonel.
