20 minute drive to Peterson, 3 hours and 45 minute flight to LAX and Jack O'neill felt he already had enough. If he spent an 8 hour day and he was off planet, well he could live with that he thought, but on Earth and not fishing in Minnesota, well someone was gonna pay, Jack thought. As the team disembarked from the C-17, there were 2 humvees waiting on the tarmac with a uniformed soldier walking towards them. "Colonel O'neill sir," the soldier saluted, which Jack recognized as a member of the Air Force Security Forces. He saluted back, as the soldier said "I am Sergeant Tate with Los Angeles base Security forces, I was instructed to provide you with transport to the detainee as well as security until your departure, sir, if you wish to be armed, I have Beretta M9's in the humvee as well as M4 Carbines." "That won't be necessary Sergeant, my team and I have been armed with an experimental next generation taser device, we are hoping nothing happens, but if it does, it will be non-lethal first and foremost. You wait to go hot on my orders and my orders alone, I have jurisdiction here." "affirmative sir" acknowledged Sgt Tate. he then turned and proceeded walking back to the humvee, while Teal'c asked the Colonel, "what is this taser you speak of O'neill?" "Teal'c, we need a plausible cover for the Zat guns, none of our current weaponry looks like this" responded Jack.

They loaded up into the humvees and drove a half mile down the tarmac to a hangar and building labeled LAPD Airship Division. The humvees parked, Sg1 stepped out of the humvees, while Sgt Tate filled in his 6 man security team on the colonels orders. They regrouped near the lead humvee as the colonel spoke "listen up, a reminder, I give the order when to use your firearms, this could be a hoax, or a hollywood stunt or whatever but I don't want a dead civilian on our hands, Sgt, your team will clear the building and ensure no one gets in after us, be firm, be a jerk if you have to, but this stays ours."

A police officer was just leaving the break room, when he saw military personnel approaching him, "hello, you must be here for… well you know, the guy, he's in the room behind me, our lunch area, he's all yours" the officer stated, and leaned his head back, "Paul lets get out of here, feds are here, excuse us we will be leaving" the officer said. " Go easy on the guy, he seems as confused as we are General" the other officer chimed in "actually it's Colonel O'neill, two L's if you're writing a report." Jack joked. They stepped into the room, and saw well they just saw hair, the person was seated with their head in their hands. Jack panned around, nothing out of the ordinary with the rest of the room, he turned to his team, remember we play nice as long as he does, Teal'c your on the door, Daniel, I will make introductions and then you're up." Jack started to turn around and said "excuse me, I am.." Xander interrupted "Colonel Jack O'neill, two L's if I heard right, and don't ask how I heard it, I am as freaked out about it as I can get" "your just a kid, said Carter in disbelief" as Daniel said " Jack, super hearing, um, pardon me I am Daniel Jackson, how did you get to our planet? May I ask where you are from? Did you travel through a Chappa'ai, a stargate?

"What, where, what and what?" answered Xander in a panic, "I am from California, Sunnydale, I have not idea how I got here, what I did wrong, or what's happening" Jack sensing there really was something to this, asked "let's start from the beginning, you said your from Sunnydale, California, what is your name, how old are you, is there anyone we can call?

Xander took a nervous breath and tried to think of anything mildly funny to say, but as the seconds passed on, he simply replied with the truth, "my name is Alexander Harris, my friends call me Xander, I am 16, almost 17 years old, definitely not my parents, they wouldn't even be able to handle this sober, let alone drunk. Our school librarian Rupert Giles is a I guess mentor, I don't know his number but he spends most of his time at school in the library."

"Rupert Giles, as in THE Ruper Giles, formerly of the British Museum?" asked Daniel "I believe so" answered Xander slightly embarrassed about how little he knew about Giles. "Sir, I will make the call," offered Carter, "go ahead," Jack replied. As he walked over to the vending machine, dispensed a couple water bottles and tossed one at Xander, who caught it and as he closed his hand around it, exploded in mist. Jack and Daniel looked at each other, "Xander why don't you have a seat and you can have mine" Jack slowly set it down in front of Xander and then took a seat.

"How long have you had your abilities Xander" asked Jack, "and don't feed me any bullshit, you just made a bottle of water explode, and you caught a plane earlier" "I don't know what you're talking about, did I fly here? Xander replied. "Oh you flew buddy, 1st class, air Xander, right until you" "Jack, lets slow it down," Daniel interjected, "we saw what you did to save those people and we are grateful" Daniel continued "So your not in any trouble in the traditional sense, Xander, but we need to know how you came to be on earth or if you were born here like this?"

Xander interrupted "I couldn't do any of this, 24 hours ago, I have no idea how it happened, I mean this outfit I got from.." Xander trailed off suddenly "I got this from a costume store in my town and then I don't remember any of the last, well anything since 5pm or so from yesterday."

"So lets say I give you the benefit of the doubt, you wore a costume on Halloween, gained temporary amnesia and now you can carry 747's on your back like a rucksack, do you understand the absurdity of what you're saying on a good day" asked Jack.

Carter had just walked back in, "sir, I phoned and was able to reach this Mr. Giles, he is going to start driving in an hour and will be here as soon as possible." I guess it's a waiting game for now,"" Sir, I was walking around a bit and this building has an exercise room, I would like to see if I can have him duplicate some of his feats on a smaller scale" asked Carter. "Sure why not, time to move kiddo's"
