Summary: Langaria (formerly known as Kelowna) requests SG1's help so they return, finding that Jonas has been seduced by an enigmatic woman; They also meet Jonas' best friend, who is not what they expected

PART 1: THE SEDUCTION OF JONAS QUINN

THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS ON LANGARIA:

"You can't do this," Jonas was fuming. "You tried it before and...."

"We allowed you to come home because you helped save us from Anubis," Salesh sneered. "However, Jonas Quinn, do not push your luck."

"One thing I learned on Earth, is that if you mess with something you don't understand fully, it backfires on you." Jonas saw he was getting nowhere and shook his head in frustration. "I won't help you with this."

"We don't need your help."

As Jonas left the council chambers he ran smack into Mira; he realized he was running into her alot these days. He smiled at her and she smiled back. "Did you know that this planet is full of...never mind."

"Jonas, would you like to get something to eat?"

The next few weeks saw the two spending more time together. Mira seemed to agree with his views on the experiments that were going on and he was happy to have someone to talk to; the few friends he had were not in the scientific community, and he longed to talk with someone about his work.

One night she came to his apartment, ostensibly to show him some new vids. As they sat and watched, she moved closer to him, eventually laying in his arms. He finally kissed her, she returned the kiss, but then he pushed away.

"Jonas, I'm sorry. If you don't like me like that, I'll go."

"N-no, it's not that. I've just never...I've never been with a...woman before. I know it's kind of silly at my age, but...."

"You're nervous?"

He chuckled. "Very. You're just kind of special to me and I don't want you disappointed."

"I could never be disappointed with you." She kissed him again and somehow they managed to make it to the bedroom, making love well into the night.

The next day they sat outside, Jonas' head in her lap, Mira stroking his brow, giving her a dopey look.

"Tell me about Earth," Mira asked, smiling at him. "It sounds like a most exciting place."

And he did. Everything he knew. About the countries, the people, their systems of government.

She leaned down and kissed him. "I love being with you Jonas."

"The council asked me to come back to help them and I did, but now nobody in the labs seems to want to be around me." He smiled at her. "Nobody but you."

"They're stupid Jonas, like you said. They don't appreciate you like I do."

"You really like being with me?"

"Of course I do. You're special."

"Nobody ever said that to me before."

"They should have, because you are."

They made love, she was all over him, and he let her do whatever she wanted. They went to dinner where she asked more questions.

"How do the people on Earth avoid getting invaded?" He gave her a questioning look and she shrugged. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to pry. It's just that we got invaded by Anubis. Maybe we should go to Earth. It's probably safer." She paused. "You don't have to tell me. I'm sure it's...what's the word? Classified?" She then changed the subject to the current experiments that were being done.

They went back to his apartment where they made love again. As they lay in bed, she looked at him, opening her mouth, then closing it again.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing." She snuggled against him. "You're a wonderful lover Jonas. I never knew...." She stopped, turning away.

He turned her face to his. "Mira, am I the first man you...."

She nodded. "I didn't want to tell you. I don't know how you feel about me, but I think I love you."

Jonas kissed the top of her head. She loved him; she didn't care that he had previously been branded a traitor. He tilted her face up and kissed her. Did he love her also? He wasn't sure. He didn't want to open his heart, get hurt again. But, he reasoned, if he didn't love her now, he could learn to. He figured there would be nobody else for him. He opened his mouth to say it, but he couldn't...not yet. Much as he tried to deny it, he still loved another, even though that other was light years away. "Mira, what did you want to know about Earth?"

"It's not important."

"No, it's okay."

"Well, how come nobody has gotten through the Earth Stargate?"

Jonas hesitated, but figured there was no harm in telling her. After all, who could she tell? "They have a protective shield, called an iris. It's made of an Earth alloy called Trinium."

"But how do their people travel through it?"

"When someone wants to get through, they have to send an access code to have the iris opened. Once they're identified, they're allowed through. If you don't send a code, you get...smushed...against the iris."

"Can we go to Earth?" She asked, a hopeful look in her eyes. "I want to taste that food you told me about. Pizza. Oh wait, you don't have a code."

He laughed and pulled her close. "Of course I do. I'm not supposed to, but General Hammond said in case I wanted to come back...."

"You're not going to go back, are you Jonas? I'd miss you too much."

"I'm not going anywhere. I promise not to leave you. Now, do you have any other questions?"

"Well, yes, but not now."

"It's okay, I told you," Jonas grinned. "Ask away."

"I heard about the people called SG1. They're very brave, so I'm told. What are they like?"

Jonas answered her, telling her everything he knew about the SGC and the teams.

She began to kiss him, whispering in his ear. "Jonas, if we were there and they were invaded, who would protect us?"

He told her about Earth's military forces, about their weapons.

Her hands were all over his body, touching him, caressing him. "I saw Doctor Jackson when you saved us from Anubis' attack. I thought he died." Jonas hesitated, and her hand slid down his body, fondling his dick. "You don't have to tell me Jonas. I was just curious." She tongued his ear and his eyes rolled back, sighing in contentment. "You like that Jonas?"

"Mmm, yes," he moaned, getting a bit dizzy.

A few nights later, she casually mentioned Daniel again, and Jonas told her about Daniel's ascension and return, and about the Lost City of the Ancients.

Every time they made love she asked more questions.

Late one night she took him to the Stargate, making love to him there. She asked him about some of the other planets he'd visited, the races he'd encountered and how the gate worked. He showed her, giving her a few addresses in the process.

Jonas was so happy to have someone listen to him, to have someone care about him; he never even gave her questions a second thought.

PART 2: THE MISSION BRIEFING

"I received a communication from Langaria this morning," General Hammond smiled.

"Langaria?" Jack asked. "Don't remember that one."

"It used to be known as Kelowna, Jack," Daniel said. "I sent you a memo."

"Aww Daniel, ya know I never read my memo's." He caught Hammond's eye and quickly amended himself. "I mean, I always read the ones you send sir."

"I'm sure you do Colonel."

"From Jonas sir?" Sam asked.

Jack shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "What does he want?"

"It wasn't from Jonas," Hammond said. "It was from Tarsin, one of their council members. They need our help."

"Figures," Jack muttered.

"Colonel, please."

"Sorry, sir."

"They were doing some experiments with Naquadariah and there was an accident," the General started.

"You're not going Daniel."

"Jack...."

"Uh-uh, no way, no how. You're staying here."

"But Jack...."

Jack looked at his CO. "Daniel's not going sir, and if I have to take this up with the President himself, I will."

"That won't be a problem Colonel," Hammond nodded. "I agree with you."

"WHAT?" Daniel's anger was showing. "General Hammond, I...."

"There will be no further discussion Doctor Jackson."

"Sir," Sam started, "what exactly happened?"

"I'll let you speak with Salesh. I know you've been in contact with him, comparing notes, as it were, regarding Naquadariah. He tells me it's a minor problem, something to do with matter/anti-matter...something-or-other."

"I ran into the same problem," she nodded. "I'm sure he and I can fix whatever happened."

Hammond nodded back. "SG1, you leave tomorrow morning. Dismissed."

Sam and Teal'c flew out the door, knowing a storm was about to break and they did not want to be around.

Jack just smiled smugly at Daniel and got a glare in return. "You're not going, don't even think about it."

"But...."

"Forget it Daniel. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get home and make arrangements for Molly while I'm gone."

He left and Daniel turned to Hammond. "Sir, I am a...."

"I know. You're a member of SG1. Where they go, you go." He sighed. "Doctor Jackson...walk with me." He stood and stepped into the corridor, Daniel following. "Briefings are recorded and we need to speak privately."

"Yes sir."

"Daniel, I don't have to tell you what Jack went through after you...you know."

"Ascended."

"Whatever. It killed him inside. If you were to be injured again, it would be bad enough, but if it were to happen on Kelowna...Langaria...I don't think he could handle it."

"Sir?"

"I watched him die a bit each day, the guilt overwhelming him. If it weren't for Jonas' help he would have...I don't know what he would have done."

Daniel had no idea what the General meant by 'Jonas' help' but acted as if he was aware. "I agree. Jonas helped Jack..." Daniel took a guess, hoping he was right. "...heal."

"I don't know what happened though. It was over and done before you came back to us, which I don't understand, because things seemed to be going well for them. He actually started to smile again." Hammond chuckled. "He stopped threatening the cafeteria staff for serving liver and onions."

"Sir?"

"He told them that was your favorite dish and if they kept serving it he'd have them all court-martialed." Hammond paused. "I know you're not happy with being...grounded...but I am asking, as a personal favor, that you stay here."

They stopped, and Daniel realized they were at his office. "I'll do it as a favor to you sir."

"Thank you."

"General, if I can convince Jack to let me go...."

"If by some miracle you can, I will allow it."

"Thank you sir." Daniel gave him a sloppy salute.

The General leaned in close. "Do me another favor and give up on the saluting. Gives me the creeps."

Daniel grinned. "Yes sir." He closed the door behind him, sat at his desk, the thoughts coming a mile a minute, trying to decipher everything the General had said. It took him a while, but he finally figured it out.

Now it was time to talk to Jack.

~*~*~

Daniel walked into the house, finding Jack on the couch, half empty bottle of JD on the table. He was surprised Jack would drink the night before a mission, but shrugged it off. 'For a change, I'm glad he's been drinking,' he thought. 'He'll talk more.'

"Jack."

"Daniel."

Daniel sat down, smiling at him. "Want to talk?"

"No."

Daniel just nodded and pulled Jack's arm around him, snuggling close, head on Jack's chest. Jack would talk, he knew that, it just usually took a little while. But being that the mission was scheduled for tomorrow, Daniel decided to cut right to the chase. "You and Jonas were lovers."

"I...yes, we were." Jack paused, thinking for a moment. "I was so lonely after you...left. I used to sit with my gun, like I did after Charlie...died." Jack looked down, meeting Daniel's concerned face. "He was so fucking annoying. Always smiling, never saying anything bad about anyone. The more I yelled at him, the nicer he got."

"Then?" Daniel prompted.

Jack chuckled. "He shows up here one day, tells me the General authorized him to get a drivers license and he was also given permission to buy a car; wants me to go with him to pick one out."

"And of course you took him."

"Yeah, I did," Jack nodded. "Damn kid knew more about cars then I did, from the type of engine he wanted to what kind of mileage each model got. But he had no concept of money. I got him a sweet deal on a Camaro and he was...giddy. Then he tells me since he now gets a salary, he's taking me to dinner. Chez Maison, the fanciest French restaurant in Colorado Springs. Says he read that 'they got four stars, so it should be good'." Jack paused, shrugged, and continued. "After we ate, well, I could see he had too much to drink, so I brought him back here. I'm downstairs, feeding the dog, and he goes upstairs, strips and gets into my bed. Tells me he hates to sleep alone."

"You took advantage of him Jack?"

"Of course not Danny. And wouldn't ya know it, the kid just wants to sleep with me. So I did. He reminded me of you."

Daniel smiled. "How so?"

"Nightmares," Jack sighed. "He lost his mother when he was a kid; seems she died testing an aircraft and he was watching. His old man committed suicide after and he had no one...not until me."

"You?"

"Yeah," Jack laughed. "Me. Go figure. Tells me that he respects me, that no matter what, he knows I'll protect him, take care of him. Says he sees it in my eyes."

Daniel saw the look in Jack's eyes and reacted on autopilot, shifting position so he was holding Jack. "Tell me more Jack."

Jack relaxed in Daniel's arms. "I had a few days off so I offered to spend them with him. Damn, the kid's face brightened like a Christmas tree. Tells me he wants to go to McDonald's and try a Big Mac. So I took him. Then he sees this girl in a...well almost nothing...and he turns fucking crimson. I mean his cheeks went beyond red. Then he turns to me and out of the blue says, 'I've never been with a woman. Can you get me one like that?' I tell ya Danny, I thought I would pee in my pants."

"Then what?"

"I tell him strange women will only get him into trouble and he shouldn't spend his first time with a stranger. So he looks up at me, and with the most innocent eyes asks, 'Will you teach me to make love?' I thought he was nuts, until he follows up with 'I know you wouldn't hurt me.' So we come back here and I explain the facts of life to him. Not where babies come from, he already knew that, but about loving someone. Then it hits me, like a goddamn zat blast."

Daniel stayed quiet, not wanting to interrupt.

"I've fallen for him. He somehow, which I will never be able to figure out, crawled in under my radar. I don't know what it was. Maybe his innocence, his trust...I just don't know. Before I know what I'm doing, I'm whispering in his ear, telling him I love him and taking him up to bed."

"What happened?"

"We became lovers. Nobody knew, except for Sam, Teal'c, and Hammond. Not like they knew about me and you. I told him we had to keep it a secret; I was afraid what people would say because you had...gone, and there were people who held Jonas responsible. Anyway, a few months later, Feretti mentioned something about us, me and you, and Jonas freaked. Said I'd lied to him, that we didn't have to keep it a secret and that I used him. He wouldn't let me touch him anymore, wouldn't let me love him. He went back to calling me 'Colonel'. The next thing I know, we find you and he goes back to Kelowna...Langaria, whatever it's name is. I'm sorry I didn't tell ya Danny."

"Do you still love him Jack?"

"I love you," Jack whispered, nuzzling Daniel's neck.

"I know that," Daniel sighed. "That's not what I asked."

"Danny...." Jack kissed further down, sliding to the floor between Daniel's legs. "So sweet, my Danny." Jack undid Daniel's pants, taking them down just enough to fondle Daniel's hardness. He licked the tip, "I love doing this," slowly bringing his mouth down, taking Daniel all the way, holding his mouth there for a moment, before bringing his head up. Bracing both hands on Daniel's legs, he swallowed again, sucking hard, urging Daniel to raise himself up, Jack sliding his pants off. Fingertips caressing Daniel's balls oh so gently, hearing Daniel's soft moan, tongue playing as he raised his head again. "Come for me Daniel." Jack squeezed his balls as he lowered his head again and Daniel came, Jack drinking him down, leering at Daniel as he milked him dry. Undoing his own pants, he pulled them down, freeing himself, urging Daniel to turn, kneeling behind him. Jack sucked on two fingers, gliding them in and out a few times. He spit on his hand, stroking himself, entering Daniel hard and swift.

"Love fucking you like this...such a tight ass." A few quick thrusts and Jack came, collapsing over Daniel's back, laying there for a few minutes. He eased himself out and stumbled backwards, pretty much falling on the floor. Placing his arm over his eyes, he lay there, wearing a smile of contentment.

"Jack?" Daniel said softly.

He got no answer and glanced down. Jack had passed out. Daniel went upstairs and got their pillows, placing one under Jack's head and lay beside him, taking Jack into his arms. They spent the night like that, woke up and showered together, and after much begging, cajoling and pouting (not to mention one mind-blowing, ass-kicking blow job) Jack agreed to allow Daniel to accompany SG1.

PART 3: ARRIVING ON LANGARIA

They exited the 'gate, Jack glaring at Daniel.

Daniel answered his unspoken question. "I won't go anywhere without you."

Jack nodded and the four were taken to the council chambers where the problems were explained. Sam agreed to help as best she could.

"Doctor Jackson and I will stay here," Jack said firmly.

"Colonel," Salesh smiled, "I can assure you there is no danger. After the last time, we have put many safety precautions into use. Most of them were initiated by Jonas Quinn."

"Speaking of which," Sam smiled, "is he around?"

"He's in the labs."

Daniel gave Jack the puppy-dog eyes and Jack reluctantly nodded, the team following Salesh.

They entered the lab, and Jonas glanced up from his work, a smile on his face. He got a hug from Sam, an actual grin from Teal'c, a handshake from Daniel, but all he got from Jack was a nod. They chatted for a while, then Jonas looked over their shoulders, a huge grin splitting his face. As the team watched, a woman came over, moved into his arms and kissed him until he pushed her away, breathless.

"You're embarrassing me," he said shyly. "This is Mira. She's going to be my...wife."

"Jonas that's wonderful," Sam grinned. "I'm Major...."

"Samantha Carter, I know," Mira grinned back. "Doctor Daniel Jackson, Colonel Jack O'Neill, and Teal'c. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

Mira was beautiful. She was smart. She was sexy. She was all over Jonas.

Jack was jealous.

And Daniel noticed.

Mira whispered something in Jonas' ear and he giggled, then caught the looks he was getting from SG1. "Stop that!"

She grinned at him. "Okay. I have a few things to do, but I'll see you at dinner."

"What do you do around here?" Sam asked her.

"I'm trying to help the..." Mira looked at Jonas. "...nitwits that caused this to fix it."

"Nitwits?" Daniel chuckled. "I see Jonas has been teaching you Earth slang."

"Jonas actually called them something else, but I don't think I'm supposed to use that type of language in mixed company."

"Maybe I can help you," Sam said.

"Sure, why not."

"Perhaps I can be of assistance MajorCarter," Teal'c intoned, casting a glance at his CO.

"Yeah Teal'c," Jack nodded, "why don't you."

"Thank you O'Neill."

The three left, Jonas smiling at Daniel. "It's good to see you Doctor Jackson."

"I thought we cleared that up on Anubis' ship," Daniel smiled back. "Daniel, please."

"Daniel." Jonas cast a glance at Jack. "Colonel."

"Jonas," Jack replied curtly.

Jonas opened his mouth to say something, instead returning his attention to Daniel, pointing to a table. "We found these at a dig site. I'm trying to get an idea of their age. The markings appear to be Sumerian and ancient Greek."

Daniel took a look. "With a touch of Egyptian. What have you translated so far?"

"I'll sit over here..." Jack started, realizing he was being ignored, "...and just count the holes in the walls."

"Okay Jack," Daniel said absentmindedly.

Jack sat on a stool, propped his head onto his fist, and sighed. He was having a daydream when the shouts brought him back.

"You're wrong Jonas!"

"Am not Daniel!"

"Yes you are! It can't say that!"

"You know, some of us can do translations too!"

Jack blinked, staring at them. The two looked about ready to have a fistfight. "Boys...."

"WHAT?!" two voices shouted back at him.

"Don't fight."

The two archaeologists shared a confused glance.

"We're not fighting Jack," Daniel told him.

"We're discussing," Jonas added.

Jack's stomach growled. "Anything to eat around here?"

Jonas smiled at Daniel. "You hungry?"

"I could eat."

"Let's go then." Jonas headed for the door, Daniel behind him. "Uh, Colonel, there's a place I know, in the city, that serves real meat. Not the processed kind. Beer too."

Jack's face lit up. "Beer?"

"Well," Jonas shrugged, "it's sort of like beer. It's sure as shit not pisswater."

Jack stood up. "I see you remember the things I taught you."

"I didn't forget anything," Jonas answered shyly.

"Well then, Doctor Quinn, lead the way."

~*~*~

Jack and Daniel were both surprised at the place Jonas took them to. They had both expected it to be sedate, like Jonas seemed to be.

Instead, it was a loud bar, where Jonas was greeted by quite a few people.

They got a table in the back, away from the noise, and Jonas introduced them to their server, whose name was Velaria. She came back with a pitcher of what did appear to be beer.

"On the house Jonas," she told him with a big smile. "Mayal says we never did give you a proper welcome back."

"Thanks Vel," he smiled. "Tell him I'll get him some tickets to the Parcinia game next week. And bring us some meat. Any kind will do."

"Parcinia?" Daniel asked. "A sport?"

Jonas nodded. "Sort of like football, but a lot more violent."

"I thought you didn't have friends," Jack said.

"I don't have friends in the labs," Jonas clarified. "Most of them still consider me a traitor. But here, I've known most of these people since I was in university. They mostly don't care about what I did or what the council thinks."

"No we don't," Velaria smiled as she came over with more drink. "The council is paneled with asswipes who wouldn't know a good thing if it bit them on their penises."

Jack spit his drink all over the table.

"Your language is...colorful," Daniel observed.

"I learned from the best." She winked at Jonas. "Let me go check on your food."

Jonas blushed. "I, uh, in university I was a bit of a...."

"You're not as straightlaced as you lead people to believe," Daniel stated flatly.

"When you work in the sciences," Jonas said, "you have to learn decorum. I used to come here after work to let it all out. When I arrived at the SGC, I realized that decorum would hold there as well. So," he opted to change subjects, "things are going well between the two of you, I take it."

Jack had to force a smile. "They're just peachy. And, uh, you're getting married."

"Where did you meet her?" Daniel asked. "She seems nice."

"She works in one of the labs. She was nice to me when no one else was."

"Do you love her?" Jack asked. Jonas lowered his eyes. "I asked you a question."

"Jack...."

"Shut up Daniel. Jonas, do...you...love...her?"

"Of course he loves her Jack," Daniel interrupted. "Right Jonas?"

Velaria came over with their food. "Doctor Quinn," she grinned, "you've been paged back to the lab. You better go before the other scientists explode from their stupidity."

Jonas smiled in relief; he hadn't wanted to answer Jack's question. "Thanks. I'll see the two of you later. Enjoy your food." He practically flew out of there.

"He doesn't love her," Jack observed.

"You don't know that Jack."

"If he loved her, he would have said so immediately. He avoided the question."

"Just eat your food Jack." Daniel tasted his meal. "At least it doesn't taste like chicken."

"Nice to see him here with someone other then that bitch," Velaria chuckled as she brought them some dessert.

"I take it you don't like Mira," Daniel said bluntly.

"There's something off about her. I tried to tell him, but he thinks I'm jealous."

"You an ex-girlfriend?" Jack asked.

"Me? I like girls. Jonas has been a friend for a long time. Kind of funny though."

"What?" Daniel asked.

"He always liked men. Never went to bed with a woman, only men."

Jack began to choke. "He went to bed with men before he came to Earth?"

Velaria grinned. "You're that Jack, aren't you?"

"He talked about me?" Jack was incredulous.

"Only once, a couple of days after he came back. We went out, like old times, got drunk and he told me about you. Told me what he did, making you think he was innocent." She sat down. "He said it was the only way to get your attention. It worked, didn't it?"

"He used me," Jack muttered.

"You're kind of full of yourself." She shook her head. "You never told him about...." She turned her head. "You must be that Daniel." Daniel nodded and she turned back to Jack. "You kept it all a secret, lied to him. But he didn't lie to you."

"Yes he did," Jack insisted.

"Well," she admitted, "technically yes. But in Jonas' eyes he bent the truth. He told me what happened. He's got a great memory, even drunk. He told you he'd never been with a woman. He hadn't been. He asked you to teach him to make love. He'd never done that before. It had all just been sex. That I could tell you." She frowned. "He loved you and you hurt him. That was something he had never experienced before."

"I still love him," Jack blurted out, turning to Daniel. "Daniel I...."

Daniel sighed. "I knew that Jack. And I'm willing to share." He smiled at Velaria. "Is Jonas into that?"

"Kink? Yeah," she nodded. "Jonas is into everything. Except he never lost his heart before. Well," she blushed, "except to Jack over here." She giggled as Jack turned pink. "It was always just sex for him. And that bitch...she's using him, I just know it."

"What makes you so sure?" Daniel asked.

"The way she treats him, it's like...I don't know. Call it intuition. I tried to tell him, but he won't listen. He's so happy to have someone in the labs who talks to him, that he doesn't care. Maybe you can talk to him, Jack."

"Why me?"

She stood up, smiling at him. "Because, you ass, he still loves you."

Nobody noticed Mira lurking in the rear...she had heard every word.

Jack and Daniel headed back to the science building, Daniel joining Sam and Teal'c, promising Jack he'd stay away from the reactor.

Jack didn't leave until Teal'c agreed to zat Daniel if he attempted to wander off. This satisfied Jack, who went to find Jonas. They had a lot to talk about.

PART 4: DISCOVERY AND DECEIT

"Colonel O'Neill," Mira smiled at him, "can I help you find someone...something?"

"I, uh, was looking for Jonas. I need to talk to him."

"He went home. You'll find him there."

"Where exactly is his home?"

She smiled at him. "Come on. I'll take you."

~*~*~

Jack looked around the apartment. "This is pretty nice."

"I thought he'd be here. Well, until he arrives, feel free to look around Colonel. I have to take a shower because I stink," she laughed. "If you want something to eat, the kitchen is that way."

"Thanks." Mira went to the bedroom, while Jack made himself at home. He looked around, seeing Jonas' sketches on the walls, smiling at the Freddy Krueger likeness. Jack remembered how Jonas had insisted on sleeping with the lights on for a week after watching 'Elm Street'. He found something that appeared to be juice and poured himself a glass, sitting on the couch, seeing the drawers built into the table, the panel beside it.

Feeling mischievous (and hoping he didn't set off any alarms) Jack tried to open it, but nothing happened. It took him a few minutes, until he realized that the panel was coded. He tried a few combinations of numbers and letters but it still wouldn't open. 'Okay Jonas, what's the secret word?' After a few more tries it hit him. He entered THX1138 and the panel slid open. 'You always did like that movie,' he grinned. Inside he saw other panels, but these opened freely as he pushed the buttons beside them.

A drawer opened and he saw photos of Jonas as a child with two older people who he assumed were Jonas' parents, and some of Jonas when he was a teenager, with a woman he recognized as Velaria. The two were wearing the stupidest grins Jack had ever seen and in almost each one, they looked absolutely, positively wasted. 'I guess you're not as stiff as you always seemed.'

He shut that one, opening another, finding more sketches. When he opened the third drawer, a small smile came to his face.

Mementos of Earth.

A napkin from a strip club, a movie stub, a book of matches and a previously-lit Cuban cigar. Jack chuckled as he pictured Lou giving it to him, watching Jonas half-choke as he took a deep puff and inhaled. The hockey puck Jonas swiped from an Avalanche game after Jack dared him to. The Wormhole X-Treme action figures. Jack felt his face grow warm as he heard Jonas' voice asking him why they were not anatomically correct, then teasing Jack as he put Colonel Danning and Stacy Monroe in compromising positions.

Jack looked further, finding photos of SG1, on missions and off. He also saw an envelope addressed to him. 'He probably just forgot to give it to me,' Jack reasoned as he picked it up. 'No he didn't, Jack,' his inner voice told him. 'Shut up!' Jack told himself. 'It's addressed to me and I am going to read it.'

Jack put down the letter, shaking his head. 'You're wrong Jonas. You didn't blow your second chance. And I intend to let you know at the next possible moment.' He heard the shower go off and quickly put the letter away, closing the drawers.

~*~*~

Mira glanced out the window, seeing Jonas approaching. She watched the monitor, seeing Jonas get to his front door. "Colonel O'Neill, can you help me with something?"

"Yeah, sure," Jack answered, entering the bedroom. The moment he entered she jumped him, pulling him onto the bed, opening his pants and rolling him atop her.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" Jack yelled. He was trying to fend her off and she was pulling down his pants.

"NO! STOP!" Mira screamed at the top of her lungs.

That's when Jonas walked in.

Mira let go of Jack, the Colonel jumped off of her, backing away as he pulled up his pants, staring at Jonas. "I didn't...."

Mira, still naked, ran into Jonas' arms, sobbing. "He tried to hurt me."

"Get out of here Colonel O'Neill," Jonas spat.

"Jonas, please listen to me," Jack pleaded.

"GET OUT!"

Jack stared daggers at Mira, but knew trying to explain things right then and there was going to be futile. He picked up his things and left the apartment, wondering what the hell was going on.

Jonas held Mira close, soothing her as best he could. "What happened?"

"He...Jonas he tried to...you saw what he tried to do."

"I...I know what I saw, but I can't believe that he would...." Jonas was at a loss for words.

"Believe it," she said, calming down.

"Mira, maybe I should talk to him. Find out why he would do this." Thoughts of alien parasites and mind control went through his head. Jonas could not believe Jack would do something like that.

"He said he had the right to touch me," she sniffled. "I told him that I loved you, but he said he didn't care." She kissed him. "I do love you Jonas. So much." She pulled off his shirt, undoing his pants. "I need you to touch me."

Jonas was hesitant. "Maybe now is not the right time."

She kissed him again, her hands sliding into his pants, fondling him. "Jonas please."

He felt the kiss deepen, wanting to tell her to stop, that now was not the time. Then he lost his train of thought, kicking his shoes off, pulling down his pants, allowing Mira to pull him down to the bed. She was rubbing her body against his and he felt the wetness between her legs. He felt the hands in his hair, pushing his head down her body. Kneading her breasts, he sucked on them, first one then the other, listening to her moans of pleasure. "You like that?"

"Ooh yeah Jonas, I need you inside me lover." Jonas hesitated again and she noticed, running her nails up and down his back, blowing in his ear, knowing how much that turned him on. One hand slid down his body, stroking his dick. "Need you deep, filling me, want you to make me scream." She wrapped her legs around his body, pulling him inside her. "That's it. Just like that." She watched his eyes flutter shut as he slipped into ecstasy, pulling Jonas' lips to her neck.

He didn't see the smug smile that crossed her face.

He thrust into her, losing himself like he always did, kissing his way down, taking a breast into his mouth, sucking it hard, biting the nipple. He raised himself to his knees, pulling her legs over his shoulders, driving deeper still.

"JONAS!! OH YESSS...PLEASE YESSS!!"

Jonas felt her muscles contract around his dick, kissing and biting her inner thighs, growing dizzy as he came. Her legs slipped from his shoulders and he caught his breath, falling atop her, kissing her everywhere his mouth could reach.

"That was good Jonas. So good."

He lay beside her, his head on her chest, her fingers in his hair, massaging slowly. She saw his eyes closing. "Shhh, relax baby." He did as he was told. "Tell me about Jack O'Neill. Maybe it will help me understand why he did what he did."

"He's a good commander," Jonas murmured sleepily.

"The military mind usually is."

"Yes, but he has a heart, a big one. Doesn't let it show much."

"What does he do at the SGC? Other then leading SG1?"

"He's second-in-command of the base. Hammond's in charge, but alot of the time he looks to Jack."

"Why?"

Jonas giggled. "Lou says it's because Hammond hasn't been on field duty in a bunch of years."

"And if Colonel O'Neill wasn't at the SGC?"

"I dunno. Hammond's still pretty good."

Mira narrowed her eyes. "Would you do something for me?" He opened his eyes, smiling at her. "Call the law enforcers and have him arrested for attacking me."

The smile left Jonas' face. "Maybe I should talk to him first."

She leaned down and kissed him. "You need to do the right thing Jonas."

"I know." Jonas felt himself growing hard. "I want to make love to you again."

She ran her tongue over his lips. "First call the enforcers, then I'll let you touch me."

"I want to touch you now." He kissed her shoulder, up to her neck. "Please?"

"Okay, one more time. Then you have Colonel O'Neill arrested."

"Whatever you want...." Jonas whispered as he made love to her again.

PART 5: A TRUTH LEARNED

Jack didn't know what he was feeling. He was beyond angry, definitely confused; he could not comprehend what had just happened. 'This is great. Jonas thinks you tried to assault his fiance. How do you tell him she attacked you?' He half-laughed. 'Better yet, he's not going to believe you.' The first thing he had to do was find Daniel. He just knew that Daniel would be able to talk to Jonas, reason with him, get Jonas to see the truth.

He hadn't paid too much attention when Mira had taken him to Jonas' apartment and he got lost trying to find his way back to the labs. All the buildings looked alike and he certainly wasn't going to ask directions. So after half an hour he turned around and retraced his steps, heading back to Jonas'. He was about to enter the building when he was surrounded by three men, guns drawn.

"Whoa. I'm one of the good guys. Jack O'Neill, planet Earth."

"Colonel O'Neill, you're under arrest. Surrender your weapon."

For a moment Jack considered challenging them, but thought better of it, handing over his gun. "What's the charge?"

"Attempted rape."

Jack's mouth dropped open and he glanced up, seeing Mira's smug face at the window.

~*~*~

While Jack was placed in a cell, Sam and Teal'c went to research Langarian laws, and Daniel spoke with the Langarian council and General Hammond. He then went to locate Jonas. He found him with Mira, and asked Jonas if they could speak alone.

"Don't leave me Jonas," she almost whimpered.

"I won't," he soothed. "Daniel and I are going to talk, that's all." Jonas nodded to Daniel. "So talk."

"Alone Jonas."

Jonas reluctantly nodded. "Mira, could you go to my lab and get my notebook? Please?"

Mira glared at Daniel. "I don't trust him."

"It's okay. I promise you," Jonas smiled.

Mira wasn't happy about it but she left.

Daniel went to the window, waiting for her to leave the building. "Something's not right here Jonas."

"Daniel, Jack...Colonel O'Neill...I saw what he was doing."

"How long have you known Jack? Over a year now?"

"What's your point Daniel? Do you have one?"

"Do you think Jack would rape a woman?"

"I know what I saw," Jonas said firmly.

"Maybe you saw what you were meant to see."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Why would Jack try to...Jonas, you know Jack is honorable." Daniel watched Jonas' face, seeing the slow nod. "Then why would he try to touch Mira? I think your friend Velaria is right."

"What did she tell you?"

"That her instinct says Mira is...'off'."

"Why did Jack come here, to my apartment?"

"To talk to you. Velaria says you still love him."

"Mira wouldn't lie!"

"Jonas, she is lying. Why, I don't know. If you truly believe Jack would hurt her, then you never knew him at all."

"Why Daniel? Why would she lie?"

"My instinct runs along the same lines as your friend. Mira is using you." Daniel paused. "Jonas, think for a moment. Has she done anything, said anything, that you might consider...'off'?"

"I don't know."

"Velaria says you have an excellent memory. Now think!"

"No!" Jonas stated. "Yes...I don't know Daniel." He sat down, looking a bit confused.

"Jonas, what's the matter?"

"I...when I'm with Mira, all I think about is her. Being with her, touching her...."

"When did this start?"

"After we made love a few times."

"Jonas, are you done yet?" Mira asked from the doorway.

Jonas grinned at her. "Almost."

"Can I come in now?"

"Yeah."

Daniel studied Jonas' face, the passive look that suddenly appeared. He'd seen that look before, years ago, at the SGC. His head whipped around and he glared at Mira. "We're not finished."

"Jonas said you are," she said sweetly.

"Well we're not." Daniel got up and walked to the door. "We need a few more minutes." He closed the door, sitting down beside Jonas. "You were thinking about anything she's done."

Jonas stood up.

"Oh no you don't!" Daniel pulled him back down.

"She makes me feel so good."

"Really? Jonas, do you mind if I try something?"

"I guess not."

"Close your eyes." Jonas shut them and Daniel leaned over, kissing him. "Are you still thinking about her?" Jonas nodded so Daniel kissed him again. "Well?" Jonas' eyes moved to the door. "What the hell...." Daniel kissed him again, this time forcing his tongue into Jonas' mouth, sealing their lips together. He let Jonas up for air, grinning at him. "How about now?"

Jonas caught his breath. "Most definitely not."

"Good," Daniel smiled, eyes growing wide as Jonas pulled him down for another kiss. Jonas' hands slid under Daniel's shirt, trying to push Daniel onto his back so he could lay atop him. Daniel had to shove him away. "We have to take care of Jack, remember?"

"He'll be fine." He tried to pull Daniel's lips back to his.

"Later Jonas. I promise. Right now you need to think about what Mira did."

And Jonas did, eyes growing wide. "She asked alot of questions."

"About what?"

"Daniel, I answered each and every one of them."

"Jonas, what did she ask you about?"

"Every time we...." Jonas rubbed his eyes. "When we were 'together' she asked questions about Earth, about the SGC, about my missions."

"What did you tell her?"

"I told her everything I knew. She knows about Earth's military forces, about the Tok'ra and the Asgard, about your...ascension and the Lost City of the Ancients. I gave her gate addresses." Jonas grew pale. "Daniel, she knows about the iris."

"Does she have your access code?"

"No, I didn't tell her that. She never asked."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I was so stupid!"

"No you weren't," Daniel said softly. "You were lonely, she took advantage of that. And I think she did more."

"I don't understand."

"Jonas, you know about all the Goa'uld we've encountered, right?" Jonas nodded. "Do you know what happened with Hathor?"

"Yes. She got into the SGC and nearly took over by...Daniel, Mira's not...."

Daniel shook his head. "No, she's not Goa'uld. Sam or Teal'c would have sensed it. But judging from what I just saw, she's got some kind of control over you."

"But Daniel, if that's the case, how come you weren't affected by what she just did?"

"I don't know."

"Jack's going to love me for this," Jonas snorted.

"He'll forgive you Jonas. Trust me. Now we just have to find out why she did it."

"I think that first we should get the Colonel out of jail."

"And how do we do that? I already spoke with the council and Hammond. We can't interfere with the laws here."

"You have to trust me Daniel. The scientific community may not like me, but I have friends in other places." He went to the vid feed, smiling as he saw Velaria's face. "I owe you an apology."

"For what?"

"Mira. I don't have time to explain, but I need you to do something for me."

"Is this going to be illegal, immoral, and/or totally insane?" Jonas nodded. "Okay then, I'm in. What do you need me to do?"

"Get Colonel O'Neill out of jail."

"How did he get into jail?"

"I had him arrested."

"WHAT?" Jonas winced at her scream. "On what charge?"

"Attempted rape."

"It was that bitch wasn't it? I told you Jonas, she's bad news."

"Yell at me later. Just get him out and meet me..." he thought. "...meet me down by the waterfront."

"Building seventy-one?"

"Where else?"

"Okay. See you there in a few hours."

"Vel, I want you to find my other friends, Major Carter and Teal'c. Bring them with you. And bring some Aprotomaine."

"I get to do a prison break and steal drugs? Just like the old days. Don't worry. I'll have them there."

Jonas shut off the vid and turned to Daniel. "Don't ask me about the old days. Now, how are we going to do this?"

"I have an idea," Daniel grinned. "Give me your belt." Jonas gave it to him and Daniel opened the door smiling at Mira. "Come in." She entered and Daniel watched Jonas' face, sighing to himself. He closed the door and quickly forced Mira into a chair, using the belt to bind her wrists behind her back.

"Jonas, what is he doing to me?" She smiled at him. "Make him let me go."

Jonas took a step toward Daniel, but Daniel met him halfway and kissed him. When he let him go, Jonas' eyes moved to Mira, then back to Daniel, confusion all over his face.

"Jonas do something before he hurts me."

Jonas' eyes moved between the two again and he snarled at Daniel, barreling towards him. Daniel knew what was coming and tossed his glasses aside just before Jonas tackled him, knocking Daniel straight into the bedroom, the two tumbling onto the bed. Daniel ended up on the bottom, facing a very angry Jonas, who raised his fist.

"Not today." Before Jonas could throw the punch, Daniel kissed him, hands moving up and down Jonas' back, winding in his hair, rolling himself on top. Pushing Jonas' shirt up, he attacked a nipple, feeling Jonas' body relax, kissing his way to the other. "The things we do for love," he murmured. His lips moved down, reaching Jonas' crotch. Daniel rubbed his cheek along the material, glancing up to see Jonas' eyes closed.

'Daniel,' he thought to himself, 'what in God's name are you doing? You have lost your mind.'

"JONAS HELP ME!"

Jonas tried to push Daniel off. He really wanted Mira right now.

"I don't think so," Daniel growled, opening Jonas' pants. 'Oh yeah,' he thought, 'you have definitely lost your mind.'

He took Jonas deep into his throat, hearing Mira's screams. His eyes took one more look up, this time seeing Jonas with a smile on his face. He brought his hands around, grasping Jonas' ass, pulling his dick deeper.

"Daniel...."

Jonas came quickly, laying back as Daniel grinned at him, licking his lips. "So, was it good for you?" Jonas just gave him a stupid grin and nodded. "Going to try and hit me again?" Jonas shook his head and Daniel backed off the bed. "Don't move."

"JONAS!"

Jonas stared toward her voice, then at Daniel. "I'm having a difficult time here."

"I know," Daniel answered, "but if you behave, we'll do it again later." He went into the bathroom, drinking a glass of water, wetting a cloth and tossing it to Jonas. "Stay." He took another cloth and went back into the living room, glaring at Mira. "I don't know what you did to him, but you might as well give it up."

"JO...."

"Shut up," Daniel told her, stuffing the cloth into her mouth. "Jonas," he yelled, smirking at Mira. "Are you dressed?" Her eyes widened. "He likes what I did better then he likes you."

Jonas came out, swallowing hard as he saw Mira. He clenched his fists, digging his nails in, fighting every single urge to untie her and make love to her. "I'm ready."

"Now, how do we get her out of here without being seen?" Daniel asked.

"There's always a back door," Jonas snickered. "Just like in the movies."

"Jonas, you're going to have to help me here. I have to untie her from the chair and I don't think she's going to go quietly."

"Okay, lets do it," Jonas nodded.

Daniel undid her wrists and just as he knew she would, she headed for the door.

Jonas grabbed her around the waist, and she turned in his arms, lips covering his. Jonas wanted her then and she knew it.

"Don't let him hurt me Jonas."

When Jonas turned, Daniel saw that same feral look, but before he could do anything, Mira knocked him over the head with the chair. Daniel went down and she looked at Jonas, a smile on her face. "We have to get out of here." She took Jonas by the arm but he hesitated, looking down at Daniel. "Jonas, come on!"

"I can't. I have to make sure he's all right." Jonas knelt down, checking for a heartbeat. "He's breathing."

Mira knelt down beside him, seeing something in his jacket. "Is that what they use to send their iris code?" At Jonas' nod, she removed it. "Jonas, please don't let them hurt me." She saw him look at Daniel and turned his face to hers, kissing him deeply. "Keep me safe."

"I will. I promise." Jonas checked the corridor. "I'll take you out of the city, where we'll be safe."

PART 6: ESCAPE

"Don't know much about history, don't know much biology..." Jack was singing as he searched his cell, looking for a way out. "...don't know much about a science book, don't know much about the French I took...."

"WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY!!"

Jack smirked at the voice coming from one of the other cells. "What, you don't like Sam Cooke?"

"I don't like you!"

"Well, I don't like you either," Jack snickered. "What are you in for?" Jack heard mumbling. "I didn't quite get that."

"I...I wrote graffiti on a public wall."

"Peachy," Jack half-laughed. "So, what do ya get for that?"

"Probably minimum sentence."

"That's not too bad," Jack shrugged.

"Yeah. If I'm lucky, five years in state prison. I could deal with it."

"Five years? For graffiti?"

"Yeah, if I get minimum. What did you do?"

"Me? Oh, I made the mistake of getting out of bed this morning." Jack smiled to himself. "Just out of curiosity, what's the punishment for attempted rape?" He paused. "A friend of mine got arrested on that charge."

"It's not that bad. I mean, they'll sew him up after."

"Sew him up?" Jack was getting a bad feeling.

"The penalty is life imprisonment and castration."

"Oh, thanks, I feel much better now."

His cell opened and Jack glanced over to see four huge men walked in by the guards. The door closed behind them and they all glared at Jack.

"I take it you guys are the welcome wagon?"

"We don't like rapists."

"Don't tell me, I already know," Jack nodded. "You're going to beat me senseless, splay my guts all over the room, and do something very nasty to my private parts."

"How did you guess?"

The four men advanced on him....

~*~*~

Jonas had taken Mira out of the city and into the mountains. Or had she taken him? He wasn't sure anymore. He thought he was guiding her, but she had taken the lead.

Mira was looking at the GDO. "What's the code Jonas?"

"I can't tell you. I promised the General." He paused. "I don't think we should have left Daniel. He was breathing but...."

"He was going to hurt me Jonas. Like Colonel O'Neill." She smiled. "We should go further up into the mountains."

Jonas was trying to clear his head. Too many thoughts in his mind and he voiced them without thinking. "Why do you want to know so much about the Stargate and Earth?"

"Jonas look at me."

"No. Just answer my question."

"Jonas," she took his chin in hand, lifting his head, "I love you. That's all you need to know."

"Why are we going further away from the city?"

"I have some friends Jonas. They want to meet you."

"We should go back to the city. Jack...I shouldn't have had him arrested. I didn't even talk to him."

"You will. I promise."

"Who are your friends?"

"They're very nice Jonas. They want to visit Earth."

"But...." Jonas felt the wave of lust washing over him, thinking about what Daniel had told him. "What are you doing to me?"

"Don't think." She kissed him. "Just come meet my friends."

"No," Jonas said firmly. "I want to go back to the city."

"Okay. But can we rest for a moment. Please?" She sat down against a tree. "Sit down with me Jonas."

He hesitated, but joined her and before he knew what she was doing, she climbed into his lap and kissed him. Her lips were on his so quickly that his brain short circuited again.

"What's the code?"

"Please stop," he begged.

"Stop what? Stop making love to you?"

"Yes," he whispered, "no."

She felt him growing hard. "You don't really want me to stop, do you?"

"Please...." Even he didn't know if he meant 'please stop' or 'please more'.

Mira shifted back a bit, pulling up her dress. "I'm naked Jonas and I want you to touch me." She took his hand and placed it underneath, rocking back and forth as his fingers entered her, watching his eyes flutter as they always did when she made love with him.

"Tell me about the Ancients."

"Very powerful, kind of scary." He tilted his head back and she attacked his neck, sucking on it, hearing him moan.

"That's it?" she murmured. She pulled off his shirt, fingering his nipples, pulling at them. "What about the Asgard? Are they scary?" She bent down, sucking on one, biting it.

He held her head there, then pushed it to the other nipple. "That's good."

Sitting up, Mira removed his hand, sucking on his fingers. "Tell me more about the Asgard."

"Nice race. Fighting a war of their own. Touch me...."

Mira pulled her dress off, shifting back to undo his pants and pull them down. "What war?"

"Replicators," he moaned, moving his hands down, groping her ass.

"Shh, it's okay baby. I'm going to touch you. Don't you worry." She pushed herself up, pulling off his shoes, removing his pants. "Want me to ride you?" She climbed astride him, holding his dick in her hand, sinking down.

"Yeah...oh yes," he moaned, holding her hips and pushing inside her.

"Tell me about the Replicators."

"Bad things, very scary."

"Oh Jonas that's good...you know just how to please me." She raked her nails up and down his chest. "Where can I find the Tok'ra?"

"Good...so good...."

"Jonas, where are the Tok'ra?"

"I don't know. They move around." He lifted her up and down. "Ride me harder."

She lifted herself and pushed down hard. "Like that?"

"You're going to make me come...yeah...oh yeah...YESSS!" He pulled her down hard and came, slowly catching his breath.

She lay atop him, kissing him, blowing in his ear. "Jonas, what's the iris code?"

He didn't answer her and she moved back to look at him.

Jonas had passed out.

~*~*~

"One day Jonas Quinn...." Velaria muttered to herself as she crawled through the small ventilation shaft. "I hate this."

"Are you sure this is the right way?" Sam asked from behind her.

"Oh yeah." She finally stopped. "Here we be." She kicked out the grating and fell into the cell followed by Sam. "Hello Colonel. Your rescue party is here." Both women raised an eyebrow at the four men lying in a heap in the corner.

"The welcome wagon," Jack shrugged. "They didn't bring me a 'welcome-to-the-neighborhood' pie."

"Sir?"

"Carter, what are you doing here?"

"Saving your sorry ass," Velaria answered. "Colonel...Jack...you've pretty much been convicted already. This," she waved her arm, "is the city prison, and it is clean and comfortable."

"This is clean and comfy?" Jack asked.

Velaria sighed. "After your trial, which will be a mockery, you will be sent to the state prison. That facility is two miles underground, with gruel to eat and guards who enjoy taking their frustrations out on prisoners. Make your choice."

"How do you know that?"

"Jonas...." she paused, shaking her head. "He spent some time there when he was younger. It's not a nice place."

"Jonas was in prison?" Jack nearly laughed, trying to picture the younger man doing something that bad. "What did he do, bore someone to death explaining Naquadariah test results?"

"I'll let him tell you. Now, once more, what's it going to be?"

Jack nodded. "How do we get out of here? I cannot fit into that hole in the wall."

"We have a plan sir," Sam smiled.

"Oh, I'm sure you do Carter. What is it?"

"Come here."

Jack walked over and Velaria grabbed his arm, pulling a syringe out and injecting him. He yanked his arm away, staring at her. "What did you do?" Jack felt his stomach churning and ran for the sink, throwing up.

Velaria ran to the doors, yelling for the guard, and he came running in, staring at her. "How did you get in here?"

"That's not important. Your prisoner is sick. You have to help. If he dies...."

The guard walked in, watching Jack get sick. "Where are....?" He noticed the men in the corner and went for his weapon.

Velaria watched him go down and turned to Sam. "What is that?"

"Zatnickadel."

"Nice. Can I get one for my birthday?"

"What did you do to me?" Jack managed to get out, before he wretched again.

Velaria quickly ran over to Jack, pulling out another syringe.

"You stay away from me!"

"Relax Jack. This will stop the nausea." She shrugged. "I had to do something."

He held out his arm. "I hate needles." A moment later, the nausea subsided.

"Better now?"

"Yeah. You must be a real blast at parties," he cracked.

"So they tell me."

"Do we just walk out of here?" Sam asked.

"Well, not exactly." Velaria pointed at the ceiling. "That's a vid. Any moment now we're going to be joined by some more guards. So we don't walk...we run."

"And then?" Jack asked.

"We have to meet up with Jonas and Daniel."

Jack stopped. "Daniel?"

"I'll explain along the way."

They got Teal'c, and Velaria took them to building seventy-one, where they waited for Jonas and Daniel.

After two hours, Jack was getting more then antsy. "Are you sure you're in the right place?"

Velaria nodded. "Jonas said here. They should have been here by now."

"All these buildings look alike," Sam said. "Maybe you got the numbers confused."

"No. Jonas said seventy-one. He wouldn't have gone to the wrong building."

"How can you be so sure?" Jack asked.

"Because this building is where...it's where he found out he didn't quite like girls and I found out men did nothing for me." Three pairs of eyes stared at her. "We were seventeen and curious. He wouldn't have made a mistake. We have to go to his apartment. Something's happened."

It took them a while to get there. Jack's face was plastered over every vid screen as a 'dangerous, deranged and demented escaped prisoner, who attempted to rape an honorable citizen and nearly killed four innocent men'.

Jack frowned. "Am I dangerous, deranged, and/or demented?"

Sam and Teal'c looked at each other, then turned to Jack. "Yes," both said.

"Just asking."

~*~*~

"DANIEL!" Jack yelled, seeing Daniel out cold. "Danny." Jack propped him up.

"She hit me." Daniel rubbed his head. "With a chair."

"Mira?"

"Yeah." He winced. "Ow, that hurts."

"You have a hard head," Jack chuckled, helping him to the sofa. "You'll live. You want to tell us what happened?"

Daniel explained as best he could, finishing with, "It's not his fault."

"Do you have any idea where they might have gone?"

"He said something about going out of the city." Daniel felt around his jacket. "They have my GDO."

"WHAT?" Jack yelled.

"Sorry Jack. I was unconscious when they took it."

"What is that odor?" Teal'c asked.

"I need a bath," Jack smirked.

"No, O'Neill, there is a distinct odor." He looked around and picked up the cloth. "It is coming from this."

"I stuffed that in Mira's mouth to shut her up," Daniel shrugged.

"We have to analyze it," Sam said. "Maybe we can find out what she's been doing to him."

Teal'c sniffed the cloth again. "These are pheromones."

"What are they?" Velaria asked.

"Even I know that one," Jack nodded. "They're released during a sexual act." He looked at Sam for confirmation. "Aren't they?"

"It's a bit more complicated then that sir, but basically, yes."

"Like Hathor," Jack cringed.

"That's what I thought," Daniel added. "I mentioned that to him. But Mira is not Goa'uld. Sam or Teal'c would have noticed. And I don't understand why they didn't work on me or Jack."

"Perhaps they were attuned to Jonas Quinn's body chemicals," Teal'c said. "I know of several races that use them against their enemies. They are targeted at a specific person. Sexual enhancement can be a most powerful weapon."

"In other words," Jack snickered, "he's horny."

"It's more then that Jack," Daniel told him. "Jonas tried to attack me when he thought I was going to hurt her."

"And how did you get around that, Daniel?"

"That's not important Jack. We have to find Jonas."

"I think it's important," Jack answered.

"Why Jack? Are you jealous?"

Jack's eyes grew wide. "Danny, you didn't."

"I think it's important we find Jonas," Sam said. "If he gives her his iris code...."

"Why don't you just tell your people to get rid of it?" Velaria suggested.

Sam shook her head. "We have to get to the 'gate to send a message. With the law searching for the Colonel, we'll never get close enough."

"Teal'c," Jack started, "from what you know about this, what could prolonged exposure do to Jonas?"

"He will eventually collapse from exhaustion and die."

"Sir," Sam said, "we don't even know how long she's been exposing him."

"Velaria," Daniel said, "how long have Jonas and Mira been together?"

"He's been sleeping with her for about two weeks. Why?"

"Because Jonas told me this started after they made love a few times."

"Die?" Jack stared at Teal'c. "I didn't think anyone could die from too much sex."

"It is not the sexual act itself. Should she attempt to bring him to orgasm one too many times, his body will be overwhelmed by...being horny, as you called it."

"Well then I think we should find him before she fucks him to death."

"Sir," Sam said, "that's a bit crass, isn't it?"

"Shut up, Carter."

"How do we find him Jack?" Daniel asked. "We have no idea where to start looking."

"We can't stay here," Velaria said. "I can guarantee the law enforcers will come looking."

"And where are we supposed to go?" Jack asked, looking defeated.

"I just broke you out of jail. You don't think I can hide you for a while?"

Jack began to laugh. "You're nuts."

"Nuts?"

"Whacko."

Velaria grinned back. "Now that's a word Jonas taught me and yes, I do believe I am."

Velaria couldn't take them to her home; she knew the enforcers would come looking there. The only other place she considered safe was the bar where she worked. There were some small apartments upstairs and they were all able to get some rest.

Jack sprawled on the bed, frowning at Daniel.

"What is it, Jack?"

"You and Jonas?"

Daniel sighed, knowing Jack was not going to let it go. "Jack, he would have killed me. I had to...distract him."

"Distract him? How?"

Daniel lay down, crawling into Jack's arms. "Mira's going to hurt him and I don't mean emotionally. She's already done that."

"I'll help him heal."

"Like he helped you," Daniel smiled.

Jack finally smiled back. "Yeah. I don't care what Velaria says. In so many ways, he was innocent. You could see it in his eyes. I don't think he ever saw a woman in a bikini before I took him to Hawaii."

"You took him to Hawaii? You never took me."

"SG1 went there in search of a Goa'uld. We managed to track it down and...dispose of it...and I decided that we all needed some time off so we stayed for a week."

"There was a Goa'uld in Hawaii? Every time we found one on Earth, it was in Chicago in January, Alaska in November, and the Northern Alps at Christmas."

"And I warmed you up each time Doctor Jackson, didn't I?" Jack pulled Daniel atop his body. "Make love with me."

"No sex on missions?"

"Danny, that went straight out the window the moment you and Jonas...whatever you did."

Daniel moved to his knees, pulling off his shirt. "I love you Jack."

"I know. Only somebody who loves me would Wisk out my ring-around-the-collar."

Daniel slid down the bed, undoing Jack's pants and pulling them off, along with his boxers. His own pants and briefs followed, crawling between Jack's legs. "You want to know what I did to Jonas to...distract him?"

"Enlighten me Danny."

Daniel braced his hands on Jack's legs, tongue licking up and down Jack's dick. He suckled the tip, bringing his mouth all the way down, raising his head and lapping at the slit. Lowering his head again, he sucked hard, caressing Jack's balls, feeling them tighten. Daniel lifted his head. "Take it easy Jack, or this is going to be over real quick."

"Can't help it. You've got a sinful mouth." He carded his fingers in Daniel's hair, pushing Daniel's mouth down, shoving his dick deep, fucking Daniel's mouth. "I'm gonna come."

"Mmmm," Daniel moaned, feeling the burst of sweetness in his mouth, swallowing what he could as Jack came.

Jack pulled his head up, dragging Daniel up his body for a deep kiss, moaning as he tasted his come in Daniel's mouth. "Take me Danny...take me to heaven."

"No lube Jack."

Jack took Daniel's hand, sucking on two fingers, drenching them with saliva. "Now you do."

"Jack...."

"Shut up Daniel and fuck me."

"I love it when you get romantic."

"That's me, a regular Casanova. Now just...OHHH YEAH!" Jack shouted as both fingers were pushed in deep, Jack arching his body, meeting them. He moved back and forth against them for a while, whimpering when Daniel pulled them out.

Daniel lifted Jack's legs over his shoulders, spit on his hand and stroked himself. "Here it comes lover." Daniel guided his dick to Jack's waiting hole, sliding in slowly, rotating his hips, making his entrance as smooth and painless as he could manage.

Jack wouldn't wait though, and arched his body, taking Daniel all the way, eyes rolling back into his head. "Jesus Danny, fuck me!"

Daniel bit at Jack's thighs, thrusting in and out, moaning as he made love to him. His head fell back, "AHHH JACK!!" and he came quickly, biting on his lower lip so hard he drew blood. He kept going until he lost his strength and collapsed, slipping from Jack, Jack holding him until his tremors subsided.

"Danny...Daniel...love you so much, so much."

"I know. God Jack, I know."

Jack wiped them clean with the edge of the sheet, kissed Daniel chastely, stroking his hair, laying Daniel's head in the crook of his neck. He felt the wetness and pulled Daniel's head back, seeing the tears. "What is it?"

"I don't know Jonas that well, but from what I've seen and what you and everyone else have told me, that...bitch is going to destroy who he is. Lou told me he's a gentle soul."

"He is Danny," Jack said softly, wiping the tears away, trying to soothe him. "Just like this trouble-making archaeologist I know. But somehow, he has managed to stay a good man. Jonas will be okay."

"If you say so Jack," Daniel sniffled.

"I do say so," Jack replied. "Now go to sleep." He heard Daniel snoring a few minutes later, but it was quite a while before he was able to sleep himself.

~*~*~

Jonas woke up in a bed, looking around, getting his bearings. He held his head, groaning to himself. 'Where am I? Stupid question Jonas. You're in a room...somewhere, and you're naked. And where is Mira?'

As if on cue, the door opened, Mira entering. She moved straight to the bed, crawling between Jonas' legs.

"Don't touch me."

"Jonas...."

"No. No more." He shoved her onto the floor. "Get away from me." She climbed back up and kissed him, and he moved into the kiss, then just as suddenly pulled back.

"You don't love me anymore." She nibbled on his ear.

"I'm not giving you the iris code so you can just forget about it."

"Oh, you'll give it to me Jonas." She no longer smiled at him with passion, lust; now she looked at him with malice. "You will give me whatever I want...."

Jonas swallowed hard and found himself backing away from her.

~*~*~

"ENOUGH!" Mira jumped at her superior's shout. "Why don't you have the access code yet?"

"He's not giving it up."

"Well then release some more of the pheromones. Humans are very susceptible to sex. We have learned that much in our study of them."

"I have tried everything. For the past three hours I have attempted to give him an erection, both manually and orally. But it isn't working."

"Does he know what's going on?"

"No. He now knows he's being used, but he has no idea why."

"Then convince him that you have been used as well. He'll be more receptive if he thinks you are in danger also."

"And how do we do that?"

"Human males are extremely protective of females, especially those that are in danger."

"And if that fails?" she asked.

"Then kill him. And I want your full report of all the information he has given you. You have told me nothing."

"The information is basically useless without Earth's iris code or some more Stargate coordinates. I would be giving you gibberish."

~*~*~

Jonas was listening. He knew he'd been used but he hadn't realized the extent.

'Pheromones? I guess Daniel was right. And I'll have to thank Teal'c for that meditation stuff. I'll have to let him know it helps to avoid arousal.' He looked around. 'Jonas, you need a way out and you also need clothes.'

But when he heard the words 'kill him', clothing became a secondary thought. He glanced at the window. 'Nah, they wouldn't leave it open...would they?' He opened it with no problem, 'And they say Homer Simpson is stupid?' climbed out, jumping to the ground, remembering what Sam had taught him about rolling when you fell. And although he was familiar with the city and the surrounding areas, he had no idea where he was; but it was irrelevant at the moment.

Jonas began to run.

~*~*~

Mira turned and went back into the room. "HE'S GONE!"

"What?!"

"He is gone."

"Find him Mira, or you will most definitely suffer the consequences. The Aschen will have Earth."

"Yes Mollem," she nodded, "I understand."

PART 7: LOST AND FOUND

Velaria was leading SG1 up back alleys, heading to her own home. She knew they'd be safe there now; she'd vid-phoned a friend who said the law enforcers had already been there. They had to cross an open byway and moved swiftly, when Jack stopped dead in his tracks.

"It couldn't be," he muttered.

"What is it Jack?" Daniel asked him.

"Boring."

"I'm sure once we find Jonas he'll take us somewhere exciting."

"NO! Over there. Boring...Boren...the Aschen."

"The Aschen sir?" Sam asked.

"O'Neill is correct," Teal'c nodded. "It is Boren."

"Now why would the Aschen be here?" Jack wondered aloud.

"Who are the Aschen?" Velaria asked.

"You want the Cliff-Notes version?" Jack cracked. At her look, he rolled his eyes. "Carter, explain. I am not in the mood."

And Sam did, telling Velaria what they had done to other planets, what they wanted to do to Earth.

Jack thought for a moment. "Sam...Carter," he corrected himself, "their ships can't reach Earth. The only access at this point they would have is through the 'gate, right?"

"What's your point Jack?" Daniel asked.

Jack cuffed him upside the head. "Four degrees, twenty-eight languages and...." He sighed. "They have Jonas. They need a code to open the iris. Nobody else would give it to them."

Sam nodded. "It makes sense. But how did they get here?"

"And how did they find out about Jonas?" Daniel wondered aloud.

"Our Stargate isn't guarded," Velaria told them. "If they...dialed in...late at night, nobody would have noticed."

"After what happened with Anubis, you don't guard it?" Jack asked incredulously.

Velaria nodded. "I told you they were asswipes. And these Aschen could pass for natives. As far as Jonas, he's pretty much public record."

Jack pinched the bridge of his nose, shaking his head. "I'm living a bad 'B' movie."

"Let's follow him Jack," Daniel suggested. "Maybe he'll lead us to Jonas."

Boren moved swiftly through the streets, entering a hovercraft and taking off.

"Oh that's nice," Jack growled. "Now what the hell do we do?"

"We follow him," Velaria sighed. "Have your people no knowledge of tracking someone?"

"How do we get one of those flying things?"

"They're hovercrafts," Velaria chuckled, "and we steal one."

Ten minutes later, they were tracking Boren. He was heading into the mountains.

"Ya know," Jack smiled at Velaria, "you're pretty good at this stuff. If you decide to come back to Earth, I can guarantee you a job in Covert Ops. That's a...."

"I understand the phrase, Jack. If I wanted to, I could have done the same thing here. But I'm happy tending bar, waiting tables, and protesting against the stiffs that sit in the governmental positions. I like, I think the correct phrase is, 'pissing people off'."

"I'm sorry," Sam smiled, "but for some reason, from what I know about Jonas, you don't seem like...."

Velaria cut her off. "Do your people choose friends based on similar personalities? From what I've observed, Jack and Daniel are best friends, yet I have never seen two more opposite people."

"Point taken," Sam replied.

Velaria watched Boren's hovercraft set down and she did the same, albeit a few miles away. "We can't exactly park right next to him," she shrugged.

They then set out on foot towards his landing site.

~*~*~

Jonas was running, he didn't know for how long. His legs were going to go out on him soon. His feet were getting cut by the rocks, his body had minor cuts from the trees, but still he kept moving. He looked back, thinking he heard someone following, then looked forward, running straight into a body, falling onto his back.

"NO! NO MORE!" Jonas struggled as he was pulled up into a pair of strong arms. "Don't touch me...please...."

"Jonas...it's me. It's Colonel...it's Jack."

"Jack," Jonas panted, looking up at him. "Safe now?"

"Yeah, you're safe. I've got you."

"Don't let me go Jack." Jonas held on to Jack as if his life depended on it, which in his mind, it did.

"I won't. I'm going to keep you safe."

Daniel knelt down, taking his jacket and putting it around Jonas' shoulders, brushing the hair from Jonas' brow. "Good to see you Jonas."

Jonas just collapsed in Jack's arms.

"Jonas? Hey, wake up." Jack looked panic-stricken.

Daniel checked his pulse. "He's okay Jack. I think he's just exhausted. He needs rest."

"He also needs medical attention," Velaria looked him over. "Get him back to the hovercraft."

Jack tried to stand with Jonas, nearly losing his balance.

"I will assist you O'Neill," Teal'c said.

Jack shook his head, picking Jonas up and cradling him close. "I promised him I wouldn't let him go."

~*~*~

A few hours later they were in Velaria's home, where they did the best they could to patch Jonas up. Velaria had a mutual friend go to Jonas' apartment to get him some clothes and when she approached with them, Jack snarled at her and she backed off.

"He's got some minor bruising, but nothing major as far as I can tell," Sam said. "His feet are raw, probably from running."

"He's gonna be okay though," Jack stated.

"Yes sir. He's going to be fine."

"Good. I'm just going to sit here until he wakes up."

"Sir, you need some rest also."

"I can't let him wake up alone Sam."

She smiled and nodded to him. "Get some sleep...Jack."

Jack held Jonas close. "I'm sorry I took so long. I'm sorry for alot of things."

"He knows Jack." Daniel sat behind him, laying his head on Jack's shoulder, covering both men with his arm. "He knows."

Jack was exhausted also and fell asleep beside Jonas.

Daniel silently left the room. "They're asleep," he told the others.

"You should be proud to have a man such as O'Neill at your side DanielJackson," Teal'c smiled, "and in your heart."

"I am Teal'c," Daniel smiled back. "I always have been."

"There's another bedroom over there for whoever wants it," Velaria pointed.

"Samantha," Teal'c nodded to her.

"Teal'c," she nodded back.

They went to the bedroom together.

"They're a strange couple," Velaria said.

"It's not what you think," Daniel replied. "They usually share a tent offworld. Since Teal'c began to sleep properly, Sam's the only one who can deal with his snoring."

"Sleep properly?"

"Since he lost his symbiote, he...never mind. Ask me again some other time."

"And you Daniel? Will you let the two men you love sleep by themselves?"

"Two men?"

"Yes. Two men. And don't worry about me. I like my sofa."

Daniel returned to Jack and Jonas, crawling in beside Jonas. 'Two men huh?' he thought. 'Oh yeah, Dannyboy, you have most definitely, positively, totally lost your mind.'

~*~*~

Jonas woke up screaming, pushing out of Jack's arms, tumbling to the floor and crawling into the corner. He curled himself up, nearly hyperventilating.

The scream scared the crap out of Jack and Daniel, Daniel falling off the other side of the bed. Jack got his bearings immediately, kneeling beside Jonas, taking him into his arms, rocking him back and forth.

Daniel crept back into bed, watching Jack. He remembered why he fell in love with him in the first place; Jack was one of the most tender and caring human beings Daniel had ever met. Quite the opposite of the hard-assed colonel everyone else saw and thought they knew.

"Don'ttouchmeDon'ttouchme." Jonas was sobbing. "No more...."

"Shh," Jack soothed. "It's okay. She's not here anymore."

"Jack?"

"Nah, the Easter Bunny."

"She hurt me. I wouldn't give her the iris code and she hurt me."

"I know. But you're safe now."

Jonas calmed a bit. "She wouldn't stop touching me. I didn't want her to touch me anymore. It became painful."

"I won't let her touch you again. I promise."

"I ran Jack, and I kept running. I don't know how long." Jonas fought a yawn. "So tired...."

"I know. Come back to bed." Jack helped him over to the bed, smiling at the sleeping Daniel. "He'd sleep through an atomic attack."

"Shut up J'ck," Daniel muttered.

"And bitch about missing the mushroom cloud." Jack lay down, Jonas in his arms. "You can rest now Jonas. I'll be here when you wake up."

"Love you, Jack. Never stopped."

"I know, kid. Me neither."

~*~*~

The next time Jonas woke, he didn't feel Jack and panicked. Turning over, he saw Daniel with his head propped up on his palm, smiling at him.

"Sleep good?" Watching Jonas look around, he pointed to the bathroom. "Jack's taking a shower. I told him if he didn't he couldn't stay in the bed. He smelled." He saw Jonas sniffing himself. "Before we bandaged your bruises, we cleaned you up, or rather Jack did. Velaria offered to help him, but he made it clear he didn't want anyone's help."

"Why?"

"Because he loves you."

"He loves you."

Daniel shrugged. "He loves us both. Jack's indecisive, you know that, I'm sure."

Jonas cracked a smile. "Hockey, football, hockey, football."

"Ah, I see you've experienced him on a Sunday with the remote control." He heard Jonas' stomach growling, followed by his own. "Let's get something to eat."

"We don't have Fruit Loops," Jonas said sadly.

"I know. Jack was bitching about it."

They went into the kitchen, watching Sam and Teal'c arguing.

"Is not."

"It is."

"Uh-uh."

"SamanthaCarter, you cannot win an argument with me so you may as well cease and desist."

"Jonas," Sam grinned. "You okay?"

"I will be."

"It is good to see you well JonasQuinn," Teal'c smiled.

"Good to see you up and around Jonas," Velaria said, kissing him on the cheek. "I made you a pot of mebaro."

"Mebaro?" Daniel asked.

Jonas grinned at him. "Coffee."

"With caffeine?"

"Of course Daniel. Except it's not called caffeine here. It's called...."

"I don't care."

Jack came out a few minutes later. "Two caffeine addicts."

"Mira is Aschen, Colonel...." Jonas said, Jack making a face. "Jack," he amended himself.

"You know about them?" Velaria asked him.

"I read the report about their race. I didn't give them my iris code and Mira hasn't told them anything. They don't want to bother with any information without the code."

"Slow down," Jack told him. "You still need rest."

"I had you arrested."

"I've been in worse places. Velaria here says you spent some time in prison yourself," he smirked. "But she wouldn't tell me why."

"Manslaughter," Jonas said softly.

"You?" Daniel asked, eyes wide.

Velaria sat down next to him. "He killed a man who was trying to...what Mira accused you of Jack. Except in my case it was very real."

"Four months in prison," Jonas whispered.

"They pardoned him after a witness came forward," Velaria said.

"Didn't you tell them what happened?" Sam asked.

"I was in a coma from the...beating. I couldn't exactly tell them anything."

"It wasn't that bad in there," Jonas smiled softly at Velaria. "And I'd do it again."

"That's because you're an asswipe," Velaria laughed.

"One more word and I tell these nice people what you do on your days off."

"Oh do tell Jonas," Jack snickered. "Inquiring minds need to know."

"One word Quinn," Velaria fired back, "and these nice people are going to find out how you spent your nineteenth birthday."

"That I gotta hear."

"Jack," Daniel shook his head, "stop being a gossip monger."

Velaria stood. "Ready to go Major?"

Sam stood also, smirking at Jack. "YeahSureYouBetcha."

"Stop stealing my lines," Jack grinned, "and where are you going."

"I have to report to General Hammond. You can't go until we clear your name." Sam smiled softly at Jonas. "All I'm going to tell him is that the Aschen are here and they are trying to get information."

"You're not going to tell him what I did?" Jonas asked.

"It's not important," she replied, "and it's irrelevant. They don't have the iris code so there is no danger to Earth."

Jonas blinked, thinking hard. "No, it is important."

"Why?"

Jonas stood up, backing away. "I...I gave her gate addresses." He looked at Teal'c, eyes welling with tears. "I told her where Chulak is."

"Do not be sad JonasQuinn. The Stargate there is guarded by the rebel Jaffa and they are aware of the Aschen."

"You're not angry?"

"You had no control over your actions. You are a good man and would never intentionally do harm to others. Of this I have no doubt."

"Jonas," Daniel asked softly, careful not to upset him further, "what other addresses did you give them?"

Jonas backed further away, tears falling now. "I can't remember. I'm trying, but I can't."

Jack put his hands on Jonas' shoulders. "It's okay kid."

Jonas shoved him away. "NO! It's not okay! What if they go to a planet and destroy it? It would be my fault!" He ran into the bedroom, slamming the door.

Jack stepped towards the room, but Daniel stopped him. "Leave him be Jack. He'll remember in time."

Velaria nodded in agreement. "They wouldn't have been able to contact their people anyway. I spoke with a friend and I was told that the Stargate has been guarded since your...escape. They fear you will attempt to flee the planet."

"Then the Aschen will not be able to leave either," Teal'c said.

"You're a bright one," Velaria chuckled. "How come you're not in charge?"

"Because," Jack said indignantly, "it says Colonel on my uniform."

Daniel giggled. "Now he's stealing lines from 'Wormhole X-Treme'."

Velaria and Sam headed out the door, but Sam couldn't resist. "Actually sir, it doesn't say Colonel on your uniform."

She ran out before Jack could answer her.

"I'm going to have her court-martialed."

"Yeah," Daniel was still laughing, "sure you are Jack."

Jack turned to the bedroom. "I'm gonna go and talk to him."

"Take it easy on him Jack."

"I will Daniel."

~*~*~

"Hey," Jack smiled, closing the door behind him. "You want to play some cards? I have a deck in my pack that isn't marked."

Jonas didn't even hear him. "I was so fucking stupid."

Jack sat down beside him. "Stop cursing. And you weren't stupid. You couldn't have known. People like that are trained to get information. Plus she had the pheromone thing."

"You wouldn't have told her anything," Jonas said.

"Of course I would have Jonas. Just like I told Hathor. Mira's job...I used to do that in Covert Ops. Use people to get information. If I had to use sex, I did. And I wanted to tell you about Daniel and I so many times, but I couldn't."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because there were people that held you responsible for Daniel's death. I was protecting you. I thought someone would try to hurt you, or maybe even me, for getting involved with you. You have to believe me. If I thought you would be so hurt...."

"I believe you Jack. I know you wouldn't lie to me or hurt me. That's why I never stopped loving you."

Jack shifted, sliding behind Jonas, arms around him. "How about I just hold you for a while?"

"Holding's nice," Jonas lay his head back onto Jack's chest. "She never held me. Really held me."

"You know how much us macho guys love to cuddle." He gave Jonas a light kiss on the neck. "Better?"

"Much." Jonas snuggled into his arms.

Jack gave him a few more kisses, all soft and reassuring. "I missed this."

"You don't hold Daniel?"

"Yeah, I do. But I missed holding you. You gave me my life back after Daniel...left me. You said you were alone, lonely. That's how I felt."

Jonas turned in his arms, eyes wide. "You read the letter. How? And when? And why did you go through my personal things?"

"It was an accident Jonas. Yesterday, when I was at your apartment I...I was just poking around while I waited for you."

"How'd you get in?"

"THX1138," Jack smirked.

"Why did you read it?"

"Because I thought you meant to give it to me before you left. It was with the other stuff from Earth."

"Really Jack?" Jonas asked, a bit skeptical.

"Okay, not really. I was being nosy. The damn voice in my head told me not to open it, but I told it to shut up and read the letter anyway."

"You hear voices Jack?" Jonas teased.

"My damn conscience, which for some reason, sounds like Daniel." He met Jonas' eyes, seeing the mirth there. "You little...." Jack lunged at him, knocking Jonas on his back, pouncing on him. "You need a good spanking."

"If I'm lucky," Jonas giggled.

Jack rested his elbows on either side of Jonas' head, staring into his eyes. "Those assholes that say things behind your back, I wouldn't defend you."

Jonas sobered. "You wouldn't?"

"Nope. I'd kick the shit out of them. Oh, and I forgive you for leaving and you didn't blow your chance."

"You do? I didn't?"

"Yeah. But I don't forgive you for calling my lake a sinkhole." Jack brought his lips to Jonas'. "I want to touch you."

"Then touch me Jack. It sounds silly, but Mira made me feel dirty. I need something pure."

Jack half-laughed. "You want purity, you've got the wrong guy."

Jonas framed Jack's face with his hands. "No, I have the right one." He pulled Jack's lips to his, kissing him for all he was worth.

Jack gave as good as he was getting, finally pulling away, raising himself to his knees, pulling his shirt over his head. He pulled Jonas up, taking his shirt off, holding him tight, kissing his neck, up to his ear, blowing hot breath inside. "Does that still turn you on?" Jonas' fingers at his pants gave him his answer. "Let me...." Jack undid both their pants, pushing Jonas flat again, moving to the edge of the bed and yanking Jonas' off.

Jonas was not going to be passive. He crawled to Jack, winding his fingers in Jack's hair, pulling their lips together again. "Lay down for me."

Jack just nodded, Jonas sliding his pants off, rubbing Jack through his boxers, feeling him grow hard. He practically tore them off, taking Jack's dick in his palms, slowly caressing. "I want to ride you Jack."

Jack just nodded again, at a loss for words.

Jonas reached over to the nightstand, smiling as he grabbed a tube. "It's cream. Doesn't smell so great but...."

"Gimme that!" Jack opened the tube, squeezing some out. One hand stroked his hardened dick, two fingers of the other entered Jonas, shoving deep.

"JACK!" Jonas bit his lip to stave off his orgasm.

"That's it," Jack crooned, "don't come yet. Wait for me to be inside you." Wiping his hands on the sheet, Jack took Jonas by the waist, pulling Jonas up a bit, slowly lowering him. Jonas winced from the sharp pain, and Jack held him still. "Take it easy, no rush here." Jonas nodded when the pain eased, Jack lowering him little by little, until he was buried inside. "Missed this...so good...." He arched his body, moving slowly, watching every nuance of Jonas' face. "You okay?"

"Yes Jack...more then okay."

Jack lifted him a bit, sitting him down, rocking his hips. "You tell me if it becomes too much, if you want me to stop."

Jonas' eyes met his. "No...don't ever stop loving me Jack."

"I won't," Jack murmured.

"More...." Jonas head fell back, and Jack had to hold him steady; Jonas looked like he was going to pass out.

"Jonas?"

Jonas continued to ride him, movements becoming more feral. "More Jack...I need this."

Jack wasn't going to last long, he knew it. He wanted to bring Jonas to climax with him, but he couldn't let him go. If he released his hold, Jonas was going to collapse. "Touch yourself for me." Jonas took himself in hand, stroking hard. "That's it...like that...ahh you're beautiful when you do that." Jack let his body take over, matching Jonas' movements. "JONAS YESSSS!!" Jack came hard, pumping inside Jonas, holding him tighter. He couldn't take his eyes off Jonas' hand, watching him jerk off. "Make yourself come...."

"Jack...Jack...." Jonas was moaning as he came, all over his hand, all over Jack's chest.

Jack let him go and just as he figured, Jonas collapsed atop him, Jack holding him. "You still okay?"

"Uh-huh," Jonas muttered.

Jack gently rolled him off, moving off the bed, Jonas grabbing his arm. "Hey, relax. I'm just going to get a cloth to clean us." Jonas let him go, and Jack came back a moment later, gently cleaning him. "See. I'm not going anywhere."

"You're not, are you."

"Nope."

"I love you Jack," Jonas mumbled, yawning.

"I know." Jack lay Jonas' head on his chest. "Now, you need to sleep some more." He watched Jonas' eyes close, heard his breathing deepen. He smiled, closing his eyes for a moment, not realizing he himself had dozed off until he saw the time. Shifting gently, Jack got dressed, going into the main room. "I guess I was more tired then I thought."

"So we heard Jack," Daniel snickered, ignoring Jack's glare. "Eat something," Daniel gave him a sandwich. "This tastes like chicken."

Jack felt himself smile. "The only constant in the universe, other then trees, is the taste of chicken." He took a bite. "Okay, we have to figure out what to do now."

"Don't talk with your mouth full."

"Yeah, okay Mom." He looked around. "Where's Carter?"

"MajorCarter called and advised us that your name has been cleared. She has also advised General Hammond of our situation."

"And the General says...." Jack prompted.

"That you are to use your own judgment regarding the Aschen."

"They have too much information," Jack said. "We can't let them leave."

"Jack," Daniel said hesitantly, "what are you suggesting?"

"I agree with you O'Neill."

"WHOA!" Daniel interrupted. "We can't kill them."

"Daniel...." Jack started.

"NO! You can't murder anyone. It's wrong. I don't care what they've done."

Jack and Teal'c shared a look. "DanielJackson, would it be better if they were to leave the planet with the knowledge they have obtained? Jonas said they have gate addresses. Would you have the people on those worlds suffer?"

Daniel rubbed his eyes. "No. But there has to be another way."

"If you can suggest one," Jack nodded, "I'll support it."

Velaria came running in, out of breath. "Major Carter is gone."

Jack looked up. "What did I do to deserve this?" He looked at her. "What do you mean gone?"

"That man, the one we saw, she spotted him and went after him. They struggled, he got that zat thing away, shot her and dragged her into a hovercraft."

"This gets better and better," Jack growled.

~*~*~

Jonas was listening, quickly getting dressed. He was finally focused and knew what he had to do. He had been used, abused, and the information he had given might be used in the destruction of a planet. Mira couldn't manipulate him anymore, he knew that now.

Sam was in danger. For so long she had been his only friend at the SGC, taking him 'under her wing', allowing him into her lab to work with her; everyone else denied him knowledge in the beginning.

The Aschen were in the mountains and he knew that area as well as he knew the city. If anyone could find her, he could. He pulled up a panel on the wall, entering a code and picking up a remote control device.

"Jonas, what are you doing?" Jack asked, watching him come out of the bedroom.

"What I have to do." He walked to the front door, opening it. "For what it's worth, I'm sorry." He snatched Jack's P-90 and slammed the door behind him, quickly pushing a button on the remote.

"He has gone after the Aschen."

"Gee Teal'c, ya think?"

Daniel tried the door. "It's locked."

"Security system," Velaria told him. "Jonas put it in when I was robbed last month. The windows are sealed also."

Jack rolled his eyes, then heard a soft clicking sound. "What is that?"

"When Daniel tried the door, it set off an alarm of sorts. If you touch it again, or attempt to open a window, this apartment will quickly fill with gas. We'll be unconscious for at least two hours."

"Great. And just how did Jonas think this up?"

"He got the idea from your people. Someone he told me about, very cunning, very smart. One of your finest warriors."

"I'm afraid to ask," Jack said, "but being I'm a glutton for punishment, I will. Who?"

Velaria shrugged. "Someone named Bond, James Bond."

"James Bond?" Daniel couldn't help chuckling.

"I blame myself for that," Teal'c said. "He saw one of the books in my quarters and read it. I then told him there were films and...."

"Velaria," Jack interrupted, "I would think he put in an override control, wouldn't he?"

She nodded, going into the bedroom, coming out a moment later. "The system has already been overridden. He reset the code."

"Well then campers," Jack said, "get your brains working. We need to think of a way out of here and we need to think quick."

~*~*~

Sam came to, groaning from the pain in her head. "I just love being shot with a zat." She glanced up as the door opened, seeing Mira. "I knew it was you."

"Samantha, how nice to see you again."

"It's Major Carter," Sam snarled.

"Okay then. Major Carter I have someone I think you'd like to see."

Mira moved aside and Sam's mouth dropped open as she saw the man standing in the doorway.

"Someone you know?"

"Oh my God. What have you done to him?"

"He has no idea who you are," Mira sneered. "His mind is gone."

The man Sam knew to be Senator Joe Faxon just stared blankly at her.

PART 8: A THIRST FOR VENGEANCE

Jonas obtained a hovercraft the same way Velaria had; he stole it. Setting up the controls, he had the computer track all crafts leaving the city within the past four hours. Only one headed into the mountains. Anger, an emotion he wasn't very familiar with, was taking him over.

"Mira, you're going to pay for what you did," he muttered. "You and all of the Aschen." He glanced at the P-90. "You're never going to hurt anyone again."

For the first time in his existence, Jonas Quinn was filled with the need for revenge.

~*~*~

Jack drummed his fingers on the table. "Ideas? Anyone?"

"C-4?" Daniel suggested.

"I don't have any Daniel."

"But you always have C-4!"

"I'm sorry Daniel, but this was supposed to be a simple mission. And yes, before you say it, I should know better."

"If the power were to be shut off, would the system still work?" Teal'c asked.

Velaria grinned at him. "Yep, you should definitely be in charge." She went to the wall, opening a panel. "We cut it off here and we should be okay."

"Should be?" Jack and Daniel asked in unison.

"Do you two have a better idea?"

Jack threw his hands up in the air. "Go for it."

Velaria winced as she cut the power, the room getting pitch black.

"O-kay," Jack said a moment later, "I'm still awake."

"O'Neill, get your hand off of my...."

"Sorry T. I thought it was Daniel's."

"Jack!"

"His jacket Danny. I don't want you falling over...."

*CRASH*

"...anything."

"Are you injured DanielJackson?"

"Just my pride Teal'c." Daniel groped around.

"Daniel," Velaria giggled, "I told you I don't like men."

"Oops."

"Can somebody please find the door?" Jack asked of no one in particular.

"Got it." Velaria got the door open, light filtering in.

"Goody," Jack sneered. "Now let's go find Jonas and Sam. I'm getting too old for this shit."

"Now you're stealing Danny Glover's lines," Daniel snickered.

"Shut up Daniel."

~*~*~

"Joe?" Sam asked, still not believing her eyes.

Mira shook her head. "He was mind-wiped. He only knows what we implanted." She gave Joe a weapon. "Kill her if she attempts to escape."

Joe just nodded to her, standing against the door as Mira left.

"I never thought I'd see you again." Sam got no response, just a blank stare. She turned to the window. "Joe, I know you might find this difficult to believe, but no man truly stole my heart but you. It sounds silly and childish, but you were brave with what you did. I thought you sacrificed your life for mine, for Earth."

"If I ask you to explain, will you give me a long-winded explanation?"

Sam whirled around. "Joe?"

"They took my suit. It was an Armani." He pouted. "I liked that suit."

"You're...you. They said...."

"A mind-wipe. I know. But it's hard to mind-wipe someone when the only thing they're thinking about is who Rachel's going to end up with on 'Friends' and who would win a battle between Jaws and Flipper."

"Jaws," she smiled.

"My money is on Flipper. He had a theme song."

"Yeah, but Jaws had that eerie music."

"You should know something."

"And what's that Senator?"

"First, you should really stop calling me that. I was probably voted out," he chuckled, walking over to her. "If I told you I thought of you almost every night, what would you think?"

"Every night?"

"I had to do something. I would picture your face while I...." he paused, flushing pink.

"Joe, I've been in the Air Force forever. Which means being around lots of testosterone. If you thought of me when you...I think that may be one of the most romantic things anyone has ever said to me."

"Then you're not angry?"

"No. But there's something you should know. I have a relationship with someone at the SGC."

He nodded. "You and Colonel O'Neill have known each other a long time. I understand."

She laughed. "The Colonel is involved with Daniel Jackson." 'And Jonas,' she thought to herself.

"Oh...okay. Then who is it?"

She hesitated. "Well, it's...you see...it just happens that...."

"Spit it out Sam! I'm not getting any younger!"

"JANET FRAISER!" She winced, waiting for his reaction.

Joe opened his mouth, then shut it, then opened it again. "Does she share?"

Sam stared at him. "You don't care?"

He shook his head. "No. Should I?"

"She's not going to give me up so easily."

"Will her bed sleep three?"

"You're a pervert Joe," Sam grinned.

"Maybe." He pulled her into his arms. "I have waited a lifetime to do this." He kissed Sam hard, her arms sliding around him, moving into the kiss. Joe finally let her go, grinning at her. "That was some kiss."

She grabbed him and pulled him back for another, finally breaking it, catching her breath. "Oh yeah. Don't worry about Janet."

"Time to leave?"

"The sooner the better, Joe. We have alot to catch up on."

Joe unlocked the door and he and Sam were about to leave when the front door opened. Joe pulled her back inside.

~*~*~

Mira came out of another room, staring at the man standing there.

Jonas just snarled, aiming the gun at her.

"Jonas," she smiled, "you won't shoot me. You love me."

Jonas sensed it then...pheromones. He quickly shook off the feeling. "No, I never loved you. I thought I could learn to, in time, but now that's not going to happen." He watched as Boren stood beside her, zat in hand. "I don't think so." He fired off one shot, hitting Boren in the hand, the zat falling. "Next one goes between your eyes. And just so you know, I never miss." Jonas aimed again. "I'm going to kill you for what you did."

"You can't kill anyone," Mira sneered. "You're a coward. That's why Daniel Jackson died." She narrowed her eyes. "You were such an easy target. Considered a traitor and needing friendship within the scientific alliance." She chuckled maliciously. "You were so easy to convince that I loved you."

"You had to use the pheromones."

"Not in the beginning Jonas. You gave yourself to me freely. It was only when I needed information that I used my...talent."

"That's not true." Jonas' arm was wavering.

"Jonas, put the gun down," Jack said softly.

Jonas turned to face Jack, shaking his head, not seeing Mira quickly pick up the zat. He then turned back, staring at Mira and Boren. "NO! How many times did you tell me Jack, that it's always the innocents that suffer? That criminals don't pay for crimes they commit?" He paused. "I want her to suffer. She deserves to suffer."

"She will Jonas," Jack said. "I promise you. They will pay for what they did." Jack was right behind him. "Now lower the gun." He held his breath and Jonas finally lowered the gun. Jack pulled Jonas into his arms, holding him tight. "It's going to be okay. I'm going to make everything right this time." He glared at Boren. "Where is Carter?"

"Right behind you sir. And I found someone I think we all know."

"Senator Faxon?" Jack, Daniel, and Teal'c asked in unison.

"Who?" Jonas sniffled, wiping his nose on Jack's shirt.

"Thanks Jonas," Jack smiled. "Senator Joe Faxon."

Jonas looked at Joe. "I read the report. You were killed."

"Taken prisoner," Joe corrected.

"You were mind-wiped!" Mira screamed.

"Nope, sorry, wrong answer," Joe snickered, and turned to Sam. "Just who did Rachel end up with anyway?" He looked over Sam's shoulder and his face paled. He fired his weapon...Mollem dropped his weapon, falling down dead. "That's what you get for stealing my Armani." He kissed Sam again.

"Sam, what about....?" Daniel raised an eyebrow.

Sam shrugged. "I told him about Janet, but he doesn't care."

"George is going to love us," Jack sighed. "So Boring, unless you and your bitch want to end up like Melon, I suggest you come quietly."

Boren pulled a weapon from his jacket, aiming at Jack.

Jonas raised the P-90, pulling the trigger.

Boren missed.

Jonas didn't.

"I told you I never miss."

"He was stupid," Jack said, looking at Mira. "Are you?"

"Can I hit her?" Velaria asked.

"No," Sam answered, then decked Mira, knocking her flat. "My perogative."

Mira sat up, wiping the blood from her mouth, staring at Jonas. "You're still a coward."

"How did you find out about this planet and JonasQuinn?" Teal'c asked.

"Good question T," Jack smiled.

"Thank you O'Neill."

"We found this world by dialing random symbols and learned about Jonas in the Langarian archives," Mira said. "The Aschen will claim Earth."

"Yeah, yeah," Jack nodded. "We've heard that before. Not gonna happen. You didn't give anyone the intel. Your buddy's are dead, and you are a prisoner."

"You will lose," she spat out.

"Would you shut up already?" Velaria kicked her in the face, knocking her unconscious.

"I guess we're safe for now," Daniel smiled, moving into Jack's personal space, Jack's arm moving around his waist, holding him close.

~*~*~

Everything Jonas seemed to be handling, he wasn't. His whole world was crumbling around him.

Jack and Daniel had each other. No matter what they both told him, there was no place for him.

He thought he'd found something in Mira, thought that maybe, someday, he could learn to love her. But she had used him.

He was alone again. He dropped the gun and backed out of the building, slowly walking away.

"Jack," Daniel whispered, nodding to Jonas, "he needs you right now more then I do."

"You need to make everything right O'Neill," Teal'c said, the tone belying a threat.

"I will," Jack sighed, running out after Jonas. "Hey! Where ya going?"

Jonas turned. "I have nowhere to go. I can't stay here anymore." He took off in a sprint, Jack running after him.

"Jonas! Jonas, would you slow down? I can't run as fast as you can!" Jack watched Jonas disappear into his hovercraft, watched it take off. "Dammit Jonas," he muttered, "you can come back to Earth."

~*~*~

Jack returned to the group, looking defeated. "I couldn't catch him. Damn, that kid runs fast."

"I'm worried about him, seriously worried," Velaria said. "The look on his face...he was watching you and Daniel."

"And....?"

"I can read him as easily as he can read me. He knows you have Daniel and he's wondering where he fits in. Did you ever discuss what you were going to do after this was all over?"

"We haven't had much of a chance," Jack replied. "I was going to. I want him to come back to Earth and move in with me and Daniel." He looked around. "Where's the bitch?"

"Inside with Joe and Teal'c."

"O'NEILL!" Teal'c came stumbling out.

"JOE!" Sam screamed, running for the building.

"He is alright," Teal'c told her.

"What happened?"

"She had a zatnickadel. Senator Faxon and I were both shot, but only once."

Everyone looked up as a hovercraft took off from behind the building.

"She's going after Jonas," Daniel said.

"Aw gee Daniel," Jack groaned, "ya think?"

~*~*~

"That's right Quinn," Jonas mumbled as he threw his things into a case. "Run away just like you always do. You have nothing anyway. Jack has Daniel, you don't have Mira, you never did. You have nothing just like always. Go to the 'gate and dial up one of those tropical planets and spend the rest of your life on a beach somewhere."

"And where would that be?"

Jonas turned at the voice, facing Mira, who was pointing the zat at him. "Go ahead, shoot me. I don't care."

"Of course you do Jonas. That's a weakness you have that I don't. You're going to get me to the Stargate so I can dial home."

Jonas laughed. "When it's a snowy day in hell." He returned to his packing. "I could have learned to love you. Maybe we would have been happy."

"You killed my lover."

Jonas stopped, turning to look at her.

"Yes, Boren was mine. We were joined at birth, destined to procreate together. Everytime I touched you, it was his face I saw, his voice I heard. I cannot have another. You took my life away. I am not you. I have no problem with killing. And you should have heard O'Neill." Mira smiled at him, the smile of a snake. "For some reason he cares for you deeply...loves you." She shot him and he went down. She stood over him, ready to shoot him a second time. "Say good-bye Jonas Quinn."

It's said that your life flashes before your eyes the moment before death. In that one millisecond, Jonas saw Jack smiling at him when Jonas first tried sushi, when he discovered a second weather channel, when he managed to obtain his drivers license after four tries. And Jonas Quinn decided he wanted to live, if only to see that smile again.

Mira fired and Jonas rolled, avoiding the shot.

"I'm a lovesick sap." He watched her fire again and avoided another hit. "He loves me." Jonas saw Mira's eyes grow feral as she shot again...and missed. "I miss Twinkies." Jonas rolled under the bed and out the other side. "I miss Wormhole X-Treme." He stood, then ducked, watching his lamp get blown to pieces. "I even miss pooper-scooping the dog." He dove through the doorway as she fired again. "And you are a worse shot then Walter Davis." Mira came into the main room and walked right into a fist. "And I enjoyed that."

SG1 came in a moment later, weapons drawn, and Jonas just shrugged. "She shot my lamp," he pouted at Velaria. "The one you made me in that class you took."

"And she stole my Armani," Joe added.

"That's a suit, right?" Jonas asked.

"Yeah," Joe growled, "an expensive suit." He glanced at Mira. "Do you think we should tie her up?"

"We need to take her to the authorities," Velaria said.

"And I need to contact Hammond," Jack added.

Jonas went back into the bedroom, and Jack didn't wait for anyone to say anything; he followed Jonas, Daniel behind him.

"Going somewhere?"

"I want to go back to Earth, but I can't. She'll tell everyone what I did."

"No she won't," Jack said firmly.

"But...." Jonas started.

"Jonas," Jack put his arm around Jonas' shoulders. "Trust me."

Jonas nodded. "She said you loved me."

"I told you that."

"But Jack, how can you love two people?"

"I do," Daniel said, smiling at Jonas.

"You don't even know me," Jonas told him.

"Yeah, but I love Jack and so do you. And he loves us both. And if he loves you, you must be special. Therefore, I love you too. Understand?"

"No," Jonas shook his head.

"Don't even try Jonas," Jack snickered. "You try to understand him you'll only grow more confused. And I'd like it if you came back with us. I want you to...come home."

"I can't. When they find out what I did, what I told her...."

"Nobody is going to know Jonas. SG1 will not say a word. As far as the SGC is concerned, you had a woman, and she turned out to be evil. Nothing more." Jack grinned at Daniel. "It used to happen to Daniel all the time."

"Why? After what I did, why do you still...."

Jack cut him off. "Because we care about you, because we all love you in our own way. Teal'c misses having someone to learn about American culture with. Even after all these years he still doesn't understand it. Carter, I happen to know that Carter likes doing experiments with you. You're the only person that can understand her. And Daniel here...Daniel said you two had an interesting chat on Anubis' ship. And you had a very interesting time with him in your apartment."

"What about you Jack?"

"Me? I have nobody to pick on, nobody to tease. Nobody wants to go to the zoo with me. And if you don't come back, I tell everybody about your experience in the pizza place."

"You wouldn't!"

"Oh yeah. Then I tell them about that time in Safeway."

"What happened in Safeway, Jack?" Daniel asked. "Does it have something to do with why you won't go to the bakery?"

Jonas finally smiled. "I was still new to Earth and Lou and Griff said that it was okay to tell a woman she had nice tits."

"I know," Jack snorted. "That's why you can't play with the Marines anymore."

"So Jonas," Daniel asked, "you coming back to Earth?"

"Please?" Jack asked, before taking Jonas' face in his palms and kissing him...and kissing him...and when Jonas was gasping for air and trying to push him away, Jack kissed him some more.

"I don't get kisses like that," Daniel pouted.

"Well Danny," Jack sighed, as he let Jonas take a breath, "next time a woman tries to ruin your life you'll get one." He smirked. "And the way your luck runs, it'll be within our next three missions." He smiled softly at Jonas. "I want you to move in with me and Daniel."

Jonas looked at Daniel. "Is that what you want?"

Daniel didn't hesitate with his answer. "YeahSureYouBetcha."

"Quit stealing my lines."

"Okay," Jonas nodded. "I'll come...home."

~*~*~

They came out, and Jack grinned at everyone. "We, uh, worked everything out."

"What are you going to do with her?" Velaria asked, nodding to Mira.

Jack smirked. "Take her back to Earth. I hear Bellevue is nice this time of year."

"Bellevue?" she asked, confused.

Daniel snickered. "Mental hospital. She can tell whoever she wants about the Aschen. They're gonna love her."

"I don't understand," Velaria was even more confused.

"Vel," Jonas smiled, "the general population of Earth doesn't know about the existence of alien races."

"Oh, I get it," Velaria smiled back. "They'll think she's...whacko."

~*~*~

Explanations were made to the council, Mira was placed in a holding cell with Teal'c guarding her, Jack had a brief communication with General Hammond, and Jonas was at his apartment, packing a few things.

Velaria had offered them all dinner, but Jonas declined, Jack and Daniel staying with him, while Sam and Joe opted for dinner and a long talk.

Jack picked up a photo. "Your parents?"

"I miss them."

"Hey Jack," Daniel came out of the kitchen, mouth full. "This stuff is good. You should try some."

"Daniel," Jonas sighed, "that's plant food."

Daniel stopped chewing, then shrugged. "It's still good."

"You'd eat plastic if it had a flavor," Jack cracked, sitting down next to Jonas. "I'm glad you didn't shoot her."

"And if I had?"

Jack shrugged. "Then she'd be dead and I wouldn't be able to go through with my plan."

"Uh-oh," Daniel stared at him.

"Uh-oh what?" Jonas couldn't figure it out.

"He's got that look."

"What look?"

Daniel's eyes grew wide. "The one that says 'I have a wonderful, yet sick idea and you are going to love it but I'm not going to tell you even if you spank me' look."

Jonas made a face. "You like spankings Jack?"

"No, I don't like spankings." He glared at Daniel. "Unless I'm the spanker, not the spankee. And the only thing I'll tell you is that it has to do with that bitch and how I'm going to make her suffer."

"You're a good man Jack," Daniel chuckled.

"That's what I said," Jonas nodded in all seriousness.

"Yeah," Jack added, "and you also said I was pure."

"You are pure," Daniel smiled. "You've got a good heart and that's all that matters." Daniel leaned in and kissed him.

Jonas turned Jack's head. "I agree." Jonas kissed him.

"Yeah." Back to Daniel.

"Very much so." Jonas' turn again.

Jack licked his lips. "Boys, the old Colonel is tired, and much as I would enjoy being ravished, I need some sleep. I'm not as young as I used to be. Do whatever you want and I promise to make it up to you tomorrow when we get home." He walked into the bedroom, falling onto the bed.

"So Jonas," Daniel smirked, "you have any lube?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Oh, I don't know. I was sort of thinking we could continue from where we left off yesterday."

"It's in the bedroom."

"Why don't we go get it?"

"Jack said...."

Daniel gave him a conspiratorial smile. "We can just use the bed."

"It is my bed."

"Exactly."

Jonas kicked off his shoes. "Jack can just lay there."

Daniel pulled off his boots. "He can sleep."

Jonas pulled off his shirt, tossing it aside, Daniel doing the same.

Daniel undid his pants and so did Jonas, the two grinning at each other as they pulled them off.

"Nice," Jonas said.

"You too," Daniel agreed.

They moved in together for a kiss, hands moving everywhere, both wanting to get to know the other much better. Jonas backed Daniel into the bedroom, sitting against the bedhead, pulling Daniel into his lap.

"You taste good Daniel."

"You too."

Jonas kissed Daniel again, arm moving over Jack, going into the drawer and pulling out a small tube.

Jack just watched, feeling a twinge of jealousy.

"What's wrong Jack?" Daniel teased.

"Shut up Daniel," Jonas moaned, pulling Daniel's mouth to his again, taking the lead, hands sliding up and down Daniel's back, grinding his body against Daniel's.

Daniel leaned back from the pleasure of the touch but there was nowhere for him to go. Jack was kneeling behind him.

And when he saw what Jonas was doing with Daniel, Jack was aroused. Extremely aroused.

Daniel moaned and threw his head back and Jack's tongue found his mouth, Jack kissing him, gently at first, slowly deepening the kiss. His hands slid down Daniel's body, taking hold of his dick, stroking slowly, just the way Daniel liked it.

Daniel was lost, totally lost. The sensations he was getting were almost fogging his mind. There was nothing else right now, just the three of them. The rest of the world didn't exist and as far as Daniel was concerned, the world could end right there and then, and he would die happy.

Gently lifting Daniel off Jonas' lap, Jack turned and lay Daniel on the bed. He licked his way down Daniel's body, stopping at the nipples to suck on them until they were hardened peaks, listening to Daniel moan. Moving further, Jack reached Daniel's dick, playing with it, using his fingertips. He took it in his hand, running his thumb over the head, softly licking the slit, causing Daniel to moan louder. He smiled and in one swift motion took Daniel all the way down his throat. Jack held him still, forcing Daniel to just lie there, feeling the pleasures. Oh yeah, Jack was in ecstasy.

Jonas was starting to sweat as he watched them, decided that he wanted to play too.

He straddled Daniel's chest, teasing Daniel, laying his dick at Daniel's lips and when Daniel went to take it, pulling it away. After a few moments of this, Jonas allowed him to take it and began a slow slide in and out of Daniel's mouth.

Between Jack and Jonas, Daniel's head was spinning.

Jack raised his head, took Jonas by the hair, turned his head and kissed him, moving his lips down Jonas' neck, sucking at one spot and making sure he left a nice bruise. He smiled at Jonas, and Jonas moved off. Jack turned Daniel over, and they repositioned themselves. He lay on his back, lifting Daniel's legs and sliding under, taking Daniel into his mouth, slowly sucking him down.

Jonas sat before Daniel, spreading his legs, Daniel urging him to move closer, licking Jonas' balls, then moving over Jonas' dick, swallowing to the root.

They made Daniel crazy for a while, then Jack slid out from under, kneeling behind Daniel, slapping Daniel's ass with his hardened shaft. He quickly flipped the cap on the lube, slicking himself.

Jonas wound his hands in Daniel's hair and was not allowing him to raise his head, lest Daniel remove his mouth. He was getting such immense pleasure from this, moreso by watching what Jack was doing.

Jack spread Daniel's cheeks, inserting one finger, sliding it in and out, his free hand holding Daniel around his hips, keeping him still, which was giving Daniel even more pleasure.

Jack then inserted another finger, scissoring, shoving deeper, until he felt Daniel was ready for him. He put his dick at Daniel's hole and teased him, rubbing along the crack, not wanting to push in just yet.

Jonas removed his hands from Daniel hair and allowed Daniel some movement.

Daniel, his head swimming in lust, thrust back towards Jack, but Jack pulled back. He was not going to give this to Daniel, not yet.

Jack leaned over, pulling Jonas into a kiss, whispering in Daniel's ear, tongue licking, hot breath blowing. "Tell me what you want Daniel. Tell me and perhaps you'll get it. If you ask nicely."

"Want you," Daniel gasped, trying to push back again.

"What, babe, what do you want?" asked Jack "Tell me."

"Inside me...please Jack...please...I need you."

Jack entered Daniel and Daniel went back to giving Jonas' dick his attention.

Entering Daniel slowly, Jack waited until Daniel began to breath deeper and his thrusts back at Jack became more wanting; only then did Jack begin to fuck him hard.

Jonas began to fuck Daniel's mouth.

Jack watched, pounding into Daniel as hard as he could.

Daniel had been playing with his dick, but now Jack swatted his hand away and began to play with Daniel, his hands moving in time with his thrusts.

And then the fireworks exploded.

With a shout Jonas came in Daniel's mouth, shooting his seed down Daniel's throat.

Then Daniel yelled and came over Jack hand, moaning with the ecstasy of release.

Jack, still pounding into Daniel, shouted "OH YESSS!" and came inside Daniel, filling him with the warmth of his hot come.

Jack reluctantly pulled out, pulling Daniel up and around, kissing him, tasting Jonas on Daniel's lips. Crawling over to Jonas, he gave him the same, before laying down. "That was...amazing doesn't quite cut it, but it'll have to do."

"I agree." Jonas managed to climb off the bed, coming back with two cloths so they could clean up.

"Now," Jack whispered, "can your Colonel get his rest?"

"Yeah, I'm just going to watch some vids...uh, TV," Jonas smiled, kissing Jack one last time, then kissing Daniel.

"Can I watch also?" Daniel asked. "What kind of programming do you have?"

"Oh, it's time for 'Malzar and Panit'. It's an action-packed show about two law enforcers who always break the rules when it comes to the evildoers who threaten the good law-abiding citizens. They have a souped-up hovercraft that can chase down any bad guy. When they catch him, or her, they usually beat the crap out of them or shoot them."

"An alien version of Starsky and Hutch," Jack muttered.

"Who?" Jonas asked.

"Jonas," Daniel smiled, "let's go watch. And when we get back to Earth, Jack is going to introduce you to the golden age of TV violence, otherwise known as the 70's."

~*~*~

Velaria had said her good-bye's to everyone but Jonas. She finally stood beside him as the 'gate dialed Earth.

Sam, Joe and Teal'c, who had Mira flung over his shoulder, entered the wormhole.

"You going to be okay Jonas?" Velaria asked.

"He's going to be fine," Jack answered. "I'll see to that."

She nodded to him. "Hurt him again and I kill you."

"Sell my stuff," Jonas said. "I have no use for it."

"I...have to go back to work. Mayal says I'm going to be fired if I take any more time off."

"Sure he will," Jonas grinned. "He threatens that, what, three times a week?"

"I will miss you Jonas Quinn."

Jonas faced her. "Did you know Earth only has one moon?"

"I'm not going with you," she told him.

"I know."

"You're not coming back, are you?"

"I don't know," Jonas answered truthfully. "Probably not."

She hugged him tight, then let him go, watching them head toward the 'gate. Backing away, Velaria waited until he was at the wormhole. "On his nineteenth birthday, he ran naked through the city!" she shouted, before running out of the area.

Jonas stared after her. "I'm going to miss you Vel." He turned back to Jack and Daniel, who were staring at him. "It wasn't intentional. She swiped my clothes while I was with a...friend...and took off with them. I chased her to get them back."

"Sure Jonas," Jack nodded.

"We believe you," Daniel added.

"It's the truth," Jonas insisted.

"Let's go," Jack smiled, the three finally heading home.

PART 9: HOME SWEET HOME - THE FINALE

General Hammond blinked as he saw seven figures exit the wormhole. In addition to Jonas, Teal'c had a woman tossed over his shoulder, but his eyes focused on a man he hadn't seen in three years.

"Senator Faxon?"

"Uh, yeah. It's good to be home."

"It's a long story General," Jack grinned.

"I'm sure it is. It's good to see you again Mister Quinn. I take it you're going to be assisting Major Carter with her experiments?"

"Actually sir," Jack smiled, "the team and I talked it over, and we decided SG1 should be a five member team. Jonas will be joining us as we spread lunacy and chaos throughout the galaxy."

"You forgot mayhem Jack," Daniel nodded.

"Oh yeah. That too sir."

"The team talked it over? Colonel, before that can happen, I have to get it approved by the Pentagon."

"But sir," Jack whined, "we already voted."

"I see." Hammond looked at Jonas. "I take it you worked things out between the two of you?"

"And Daniel too," Jonas nodded, a stupid grin on his face.

"Daniel too?!" Hammond's eyes grew wide. "O-kay. I can...deal with that. I think." He glanced at the woman Teal'c had hoisted over his shoulder. "Who is that?"

"I'll explain during our debrief sir," Jack said. "Teal'c, get her to a cell."

"Major Carter?" The General stared at her. In all the years he'd known her, he had never seen her grinning like that.

"Yes sir," she said, not taking her eyes from Joe. She blinked and faced him. "YES SIR!"

Hammond sighed. "Report to the infirmary for your post-mission physicals, get cleaned up, and then we will debrief."

"I'm assuming, General Hammond," Joe smiled, "that I'll need further examination?"

"Oh yes," Hammond nodded. "And I have no idea how I'm going to explain this one to the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs."

"Is Doctor Fraiser going to give me shots again?" Jonas asked as they walked out. "They hurt."

"You deserve it," Jack teased, "for calling my lake a sinkhole and insinuating that I would never catch a fish there."

"It is a sinkhole O'Neill," Teal'c raised an eyebrow at him. "There are probably new life forms that exist within its murky depths."

~*~*~

"Mister Quinn," Hammond was saying, "are you sure you want to stay here? You do realize that going back to Langaria may not be an option."

"Yes sir," Jonas nodded.

"Now, who is that woman?"

"Her name is Mira," Sam spoke up. "She's...she tried to kill Jonas sir."

"And why is that? And why couldn't the authorities there handle it?"

"She's Aschen sir," Sam added. "And we don't know why she did it."

Hammond cocked an eyebrow at her. "You don't know why?"

"No sir."

"Colonel, would you care to elaborate?"

"Well, General, it's just like Major Carter said. I really don't have anything to add."

"Nor do I," Teal'c intoned.

"I think I can explain," Daniel said, watching all eyes turn to him. "She...'liked' Jonas, he spurned her and she became a...woman scorned."

"Yeah," Jack nodded, "that's it."

"Exactly," Sam agreed.

"That is correct General Hammond," Teal'c added.

The General looked at his flagship team. He knew when they were lying. But in the time Jonas had been under his command he had learned one thing: Jonas didn't lie. "Mister Quinn...Jonas...if you want to stay with SG1, I need the truth."

"It is the truth sir," Jonas shrugged. "I spurned her and she got a bit violent." Jonas reasoned that was the truth, albeit only a small part.

"I see. All right then. I will see what I can do about you joining SG1. In the interim, I'll have to confine you to base."

"But sir...." Jack started.

"No, it's okay Jack...er, Colonel," Jonas smiled. "I remember regs."

"All right then. You have all earned a week's downtime. Dismissed." The team left, and Hammond followed them out. "Mister Quinn." SG1 stopped, but Hammond shook his head. "I'd like to speak with Jonas privately."

"Privately sir?" Jack asked.

"Privately, Colonel."

"Yes sir. Jonas, me and Daniel will be back later. We'll bring pizza and beer."

"It's 'Daniel and I' Jack," Daniel corrected.

"Just for that, you can give the dog a bath." He grinned at Jonas. "Behave."

"Yes sir."

~*~*~

"Mister Quinn," the General started, "Jonas, I know what I was just told was not the truth. At least not the complete truth."

"Sir?"

"The hall security monitors don't record sound."

Jonas nodded. "She used me sir, and she hurt me. In here." Jonas pointed to his heart. "I thought I loved her or at least that I could learn to."

"You're not going to elaborate, are you?"

"No sir and please don't ask me to."

"Do you love Jack?"

Jonas smiled. "Yes sir. And he loves me too."

"And Daniel also, I presume."

"Yes sir."

"I see. You do know that this is going to be difficult, don't you?"

"No sir, I don't," Jonas replied firmly. "Love isn't hard, it's actually very easy. Jack says...." He was interrupted by a shout.

"General, you need to protect me!" Joe Faxon said, literally hiding behind him. "She's going to kill me."

"Who?"

"That...that Napoleon!"

"Senator Faxon," Janet growled, "we haven't finished your examination yet. You've been gone quite a while and it has to be thorough."

"Thorough?" Joe turned to the General. "She wants to give me an enema. Why, I don't know."

"Oh," Janet laughed maliciously, "I'm going to do more then that."

"JANET!" Sam shouted. "You need to calm down."

"No I don't!" Janet fired back, eyes narrowed at Joe. "You think you can just come back here and...steal her away from me?"

"Do you love Sam?" Jonas asked.

Janet was caught off guard by the question. "What? Of course I do."

"And she loves Senator Faxon...Joe. Major Carter's heart is obviously big enough to love you both, so why can't the three of you just, well, sort of..." He smirked. "...get along."

"We're not Jack and Daniel," Janet told him.

"No, you're not," Jonas smiled. "But you could try to share. If you don't then nobody wins and everyone ends up miserable. Believe me, I know."

"Wise words Mister Quinn," Hammond nodded. "Well Doctor?"

"I...well I suppose we could try," Janet agreed.

"Does this mean I don't get an enema?" Joe asked.

"Not yet," Janet said. "But you do need some more blood work." Janet took a deep breath. "I'll be..." she turned to Sam, then back to Joe, "...gentle."

"Okay," Joe nodded. "General, how long before I can leave?"

"I haven't advised the Pentagon yet of your...return."

"Chickenshit," Janet muttered.

Hammond stared at her. "What was that, Captain Fraiser?"

"Uh, nothing sir. Just clearing my throat." Janet, Sam, and Joe headed back to the infirmary.

"I'm going to my office and figure out how to do this." Hammond turned to Jonas. "You are going to owe me your soul Mister Quinn." He headed to his office, muttering how "these things don't happen to other General's" and asking himself what he did to deserve it.

~*~*~

It was late when Jack and Daniel returned, Daniel bringing the pizza and beer to Jonas' quarters, while Jack went on another errand.

Jack entered the infirmary, making sure he was alone, then rifled Janet's supplies. He was bending down, digging through a few bottles, when he heard a "COLONEL!" and jumped in surprise, banging his head.

"Now ya gave me a concussion," he groaned, facing Janet.

"What are you doing?"

Jack thought for a moment, deciding that he had known her a long time; lies were unnecessary. "Mira has to be fed. I don't want her telling anyone what happened with Jonas."

"Jack...." Janet began softly.

"She hurt him Janet, not physically but emotionally. He...if the NID finds out what he told her, he'll never be allowed out of this complex. They'll probably place him under arrest for treason against the USA or even Earth. I can't let that happen."

"Jack, I've known you a long time. All you had to do was tell me what you needed," she nodded. "I wouldn't have asked why. Now," she gave him a conspiratorial grin, " what were you looking for?"

He explained and she gave him what he wanted. "So, how are things going with Sam and, uh, Joe?"

"Sam's happy. Cassie's happy. So I guess I have no choice but to be happy too."

"He's a good guy Janet," Jack smiled. "He managed to survive three years with those nuts."

"Yes," she groaned, "and if I hear one more word about how they swiped his Armani I swear I'm gonna belt him one."

"I gotta go." Jack nodded to the small bottle. "Mira needs an extra additive to her food and I want my pizza. Knowing the two bottomless pits, there's probably nothing left for me."

"HEY, YOU STUPID MUTT, GET BACK HERE!"

Jack and Janet glanced up to see Daniel and Jonas chasing a dog down the corridor.

"Molly," Jack chuckled. "I thought she might want to visit Jonas. I think she missed him."

Jack walked out the door, passing one of his favorite sergeants. "You're bleeding."

"A dog knocked me off my feet," Siler almost growled. "And if I find out who brought that wild beast to this base, I swear I'll...."

"My dog, Siler."

"Oh," he nodded, gritting his teeth, "then I guess it's okay."

"That's right," Jack smirked. "It is. By the way, which way did they run."

"The last I looked they were headed to the...."

"RUN FASTER! SHE'S GAINING ON US!"

Jack watched as Jonas, Daniel and Molly came running past the infirmary again. They were followed by Lieutenant Allenbee, the officer in charge of the commissary, chasing them with, of all things, a raised frying pan.

"Ah well," Jack shrugged, "I guess I better exercise my position as 2IC before she brains them both. She never did like Jonas much. He cooks better then she does. And," he looked down at the bottle of Valium, "I have to talk to her about the prisoner's meals."

~*~*~

For some reason which he couldn't figure out, every time Hammond attempted to talk to Mira she was unconscious. The NID eventually came, removing her from the SGC. He was surprised that Jack didn't put up a fuss, but chalked it up to Jack's being happy to be rid of her. He got a call later that day from the NID, asking when they could pick up the prisoner. He told them their agents had already picked her up, and was informed that they hadn't sent anyone. The General immediately went to Jack, who professed innocence.

George Hammond had known Jack O'Neill a long time. He didn't push the issue.

Nobody was able to locate Mira and every Covert Ops agency accused the other of having her in their possession. None of them admitted to having her and eventually the accusations stopped and life went back to normal...or as normal as things got.

Jonas was still stuck at the SGC, refused permission to leave by the Pentagon just yet...so his friends kept him company.

Jack and Daniel pretty much moved onto the base (with Molly, who took an instant dislike to Siler) and were allowed to leave her there so Jonas wouldn't be lonely when SG1 went on their first mission without him. Jonas had fun with the Marines, setting up a live video feed from the women's locker room to Lou's office, and SG13 took him on night maneuvers through the corridors.

Jack finally had enough and sent a message to some of his friends. The next day Senator Kinsey himself contacted the SGC, with a smile no less, fully supporting Jonas' move off base; he practically insisted on it.

What Thor and Jacob Carter said or did nobody asked.

And so Jonas Quinn began his new life....

~*~*~

Jack came in with the last bag of groceries, sighing to himself. "Ya know, they better start giving him a salary. I'm going broke feeding him. Who eats six meals a day?"

"I'm a little concerned about him," Daniel said softly, glancing into the living room.

"Fraiser says he'll be okay."

"No, not that. Jack, he's been sitting there for two hours, watching TV."

Jack shrugged. "He likes TV, so let him watch. Why shouldn't his mind be rotted out by crap like the rest of us humans?"

"But he's watching The Weather Channel! Two hours of weather. You don't find that a bit odd?"

"Daniel, I find it more normal then watching four hours on the history of Mayan temples. Would you feel better if he were watching porno?"

"Oh Jack, you didn't."

Jack snickered. "You should have seen his face."

"I don't want to know."

"Don't panic Daniel. Two minutes of that and he was back to the weather."

"Hey Jack! Did you know that there's a storm front moving into the South Atlantic? They expect rainfall of over twelve inches to fall on the Florida coast."

"We're not going Jonas."

"Aww, but Jack, I want to see a hurricane. They seem fascinating."

"We're not going."

"No fair," Jonas pouted. "How about a monsoon in the Pacific."

"No."

"Snowstorm in the Northwest Rockies?"

"No."

"Jell-O wrestling?"

"No."

Jonas counted in his head. 'Three, two, one....'

"JELL-O WRESTLING!"

Daniel grinned. "That sounds good Jack." He tossed Jack the phone. "Call Teal'c."

"Okay, but I'm not getting into the pit."

"But it's double prize night," Daniel whined.

"And if you win, all drinks for you and your friends are on the house," Jonas added, smirking at Daniel. "I like Tequila."

"You should see him Danny," Jack snickered. "He drinks like a fish." He quickly called Teal'c, agreeing to pick him up at eighteen hundred.

Jonas' eyes grew wide as he saw the bags on the counter. "Safeway! What'd ya get Jack?"

Jack threw him a bag of Dorito's.

"That's it?"

"One hundred and fourteen dollars today Jonas," Jack almost snarled as he and Daniel put the groceries away. "The cashiers know me already and wanted to know how many people I've been feeding. I didn't want to tell them one. Your lunches alone are breaking me. What was it today? A half pound of roast beef, macaroni and cheese, two Caesar's salads, and a half gallon of chocolate milk."

"You forgot the ice cream," Daniel added.

"Yeah," Jack nodded, "and a pint of Ben and Jerry's."

"High metabolism," Jonas grinned, advancing on him. "That's why I can keep going and going...."

"Oh no," Jack backed away. "No. Absolutely not. I can't. I am only human."

"The Asgard said you're an advanced being," Daniel snickered.

Jonas backed Jack against the wall, dropping to his knees. "Please Jack?"

Jack shook his head, giving Jonas a firm "No."

Jonas rubbed his cheek against Jack's crotch. "Yes."

Jack sighed. "No."

Jonas undid Jack's pants, pulling them down, chewing at the fabric of his boxers. "Yes."

A very soft "No," and Jack's eyes closed, head falling back, fingers carding in Jonas' hair, feeling his boxers fall.

"Yes." Jonas took him all the way in, sucking for a moment, pulling back. "Good?"

"Oh yeah." Jack slid back in, tongue licking his upper lip. He felt Jonas sucking on the tip, while a tongue laved the length. Opening his eyes he glanced down. "Danny...."

Daniel gave him a lazy smile. "You know how much we love to share."

Jonas moved his mouth down again, while Daniel licked Jack's balls, Jonas moving his head up, Daniel nibbling on Jack.

Jack felt his body slowly sliding to the floor, head cradled in Daniel's lap. His shoes were removed, pants and boxers tossed aside, Daniel leaning down to suck on his tongue. Jonas' mouth was sucking him deep again, his weight on Jack's legs so Jack couldn't thrust up, taking his time.

Daniel lay Jack's head on the floor, unbuttoning Jack's shirt, mouth attacking a nipple.

Jack clasped his hands together, resting them under his head, watching.

Jonas kissed his way up, sucking the other nipple, he and Daniel each sliding a hand down Jack's body, both fondling his dick. As one, the two younger men kissed, licked, and bit their way down, Daniel sucking Jack, Jonas pushing Jack's legs up, lowering his head so he could get at Jack's ass. A soft kiss to the center and Jack moaned, trying to bear down, Jonas moving away.

"Uh-uh Jack. You have to wait." Jonas grinned lasciviously, slowly licking, playing with Jack's hole. One finger joined his tongue, pressing in slowly, pulling out, tongue entering further. Two fingers in, playing, teasing, then his tongue again.

Daniel was sucking Jack deeper, moving his head up, making sure his teeth grazed the length, lapping at the tip, blowing on it, suckling softly, swallowing again.

"Please," Jack whimpered, "you're killing me here."

"No lube Jack," Jonas crooned, lapping at the hole, drenching it with saliva, three fingers sliding in, stretching, returning with his tongue.

Daniel was moaning around Jack's dick, head bobbing up and down, fingers pinching Jack's nipples. His other hand reached down, one finger joining Jonas'.

Jack was pushing down now, clearly wanting more.

"Want to be fucked Jack?" Jonas asked.

"PLEASE!"

Jonas moved away, standing to remove his pants. He knelt back down, catching Daniel's eyes. Daniel left Jack to slide his moist lips around Jonas' hardness. He sucked Jonas for a few minutes, getting him nice and wet, then returned to sucking Jack. Daniel shifted so Jonas was able to lift Jack's legs over his shoulders.

"Ready Jack?" Jonas teased, inching in little by little, listening to Jack whimper; he loved it when the usually dominant colonel begged. "I'm getting there."

Daniel held Jack's dick deep, sucking hard, caressing Jack's balls with one of his hands.

Jack took one hand, undoing Daniel's pants. Taking Daniel's dick in his fist, Jack jerked him slowly, firmly, fingertips teasing the slit, Daniel shoving into his hand. He grabbed his pants, balling them under his head. "Pants off Danny." Daniel stood, tossing them aside. "Now c'mere." Jack urged him around so they could sixty-nine, taking Daniel as deep as Daniel was taking him.

Jonas lost it and began to pound into Jack, hitting the prostate dead on each time, watching them suck each other off.

Jack kneaded Daniel's ass, slipping a finger inside, loving how tight Daniel was...he began to feed.

Jonas leaned down, pulling Daniel from Jack, kissing him hard, forceful, holding their lips together, rolling his hips, driving deeper inside Jack. He pulled away from Daniel, head falling back, eyes closed in ecstasy. "So deep inside you...."

Daniel lost it then, coming down Jack's throat, Jack pushing him up a bit so he could swallow, holding Daniel higher so the last of his come dribbled over Jack's mouth.

Jonas opened his eyes then, shouting as his orgasm overtook him, biting his lower lip so hard he drew blood. He thrust harder, emptying himself into Jack, gasping for air as he softened and slid out, lowering Jack's legs.

Daniel was still sucking on Jack and Jonas joined him, the two taking turns sucking, fondling until Jack finally came, watching them both taste him, licking, each wanting more.

"You know what I want," Jack told them, watching as Daniel and Jonas kissed each other, mouths wide open, tongues making love, sharing Jack's taste along with their own. "Oh yeah, I love it when you guys do that." He took them each by the hair, pulling their mouths to his, kissing each of them as they licked Daniel's come from his face. Jack took Jonas' dick in one hand, feeling him growing hard again, the other sucking on his fingers, wetting them, shoving two into Daniel, hearing him moan. He fingerfucked Daniel, loosening him while he got Jonas hard. "You know what else I like to see." Daniel nodded, moving to his hands and knees, Jonas behind him. "Fuck him Jonas; make him come again."

Jonas did as he was told, spreading Daniel, shoving in hard, Daniel howling from the pleasure that always overwhelmed him when Jack insisted they do this.

Jack moved up, kissing Daniel, stealing his breath, while Jonas moved faster, arms wrapped around Daniel's chest, twisting his nipples. Daniel moved one hand down, taking his dick in hand, but Jack pulled it away. "No. You come from his dick inside you, nothing more." His lips were upon Daniel's again, hands moving down, squeezing Daniel's ass, nails digging in, spreading Daniel wider. "Ride him harder Jonas...make him scream...make him come."

Jonas' mouth opened but no sound came out; he raised himself, watching his dick slide in and out of Daniel.

Jack watched Daniel's face, a trail of soft kisses up to his ear, warm breath blowing. "That's it...just like that...come Danny...come for me, come for Jonas. You know you want to. Your balls are gonna burst." He stroked a hand over Daniel's face, Daniel sucking on his fingers. "Yeah...oh yeah...." He covered Daniel's mouth with his own again, the kiss rough and hard. "I wanna watch you come Jonas."

"YESSSS!" Jonas shouted as he pulled out, jerking himself off over Daniel's ass, Jack pinching Daniel's nipples, watching Daniel come without being touched.

Jack leered at Jonas, while he raised Daniel a bit. "Now lick him clean." Jonas' head lowered, once again doing as he was told, as Jack kissed Daniel again. "Come here and kiss me." Jonas somehow managed to crawl over, Jack grabbing him by the hair, kissing Jonas until Jonas was gasping for air.

Daniel slid his hands over Jack's shoulders to keep his balance, pushing between them so he could get a kiss himself. "I can't again Jack."

"I can't either," Jonas moaned.

"That makes me so hot," Jack whispered, stealing more kisses from the two. "Sometimes I wish I were younger so I could get it up quicker."

"We still love you Jack," Daniel managed to get out before Jack kissed him again.

"Oh yeah," Jonas agreed, turning Daniel's head so he could grab a kiss.

"I love it when you give orders Jack," Jonas said, catching his breath.

Daniel wound his fingers in Jonas' hair, pulling their mouths close. "Being told what to do is such a turn-on." He kissed Jonas again, before finally moving back, using Jonas' shoulders as leverage to get to his feet, stumbling to the kitchen to get a wet cloth.

Jack kissed Jonas, the two getting to their feet. "Time for a shower."

Daniel wiped up the floor, tossing the cloth back into the kitchen, watching it land in the sink.

"He scores!"

Jack kissed him. "Oh yeah, that he did."

The three of them went to clean up and didn't come out until the water was running cold.

~*~*~

A few months later:

"YES! YES! YES!"

Daniel and Jonas looked up, hearing the shout.

"He's baaaack," Daniel snickered.

"What's he screaming about?" Jonas made a face. "And what is that smell?"

Jack came into the kitchen, a big grin on his face. "Lookee what I got!" He plopped a fish on the counter. "Did ya miss me?"

"We missed you lots," Jonas said sarcastically. "You've been a whole thirty-three point four feet away from the cabin, sitting on the dock."

"Gimme a kiss." Jack leaned in and Jonas backed off.

"You stink. I'm not touching you until you're sterilized."

"Don't look at me Jack," Daniel added. "You come near me and this copy of Budge is going to be upside your head."

"I love you guys too. And ya didn't even look." He pointed to the counter.

"We can see it's a fish," Jonas observed, then looked at Daniel for confirmation. "It is a fish, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is."

Jack narrowed his eyes, looking at Jonas. "It came from my sinkhole."

Daniel nodded. "I'm not eating it."

"Ya don't eat 'em Danny. You mount 'em. We're gonna take it home and put it up."

"That's not going on the wall," Jonas said. "It's an ugly fucker."

"Hey!" Jack snapped. "Didn't we talk about your using foul language when we're not in the bedroom?"

"In this case he's right Jack," Daniel added. "It is an ugly fucker and it's not going on the wall."

"But I caught it," Jack pouted.

"I know Jack," Daniel soothed. "And I promise we'll tell everyone at the SGC that you finally caught a fish."

Jack was sulking. "Teal'c won't believe it."

"I'll tell him," Jonas said. "He knows I never lie."

"Yeah, Jonas," Daniel said, "I've been meaning to talk to you about that. When Janet tells you she's been on a new diet, and asks if she's lost weight, you don't tell her to try a new one because the current one is doing nothing."

"Well it wasn't."

"Jonas," Jack added, "if a woman asks if she's losing weight, say yes. Say, 'yes, and you're looking great'. If she asks about an outfit, tell her it makes her look 'ten pounds lighter and years younger'. She's blaming me and I've been getting all my shots in the ass."

Jonas smiled shyly. "When you get out of the shower, we'll kiss it and make it better."

Jack thought for a moment. "Promise?"

Daniel and Jonas grinned at each other, then leered at Jack. "YeahSureYouBetcha."

~*~*~

Epilogue:

Jack was having a chat with the doctor, throwing in a sigh every few minutes for good measure. "So, can I see her now?"

"Yes, but please make it short. You know how she gets."

"Yeah, I know," Jack nodded sympathetically, walking into the room, pushing the chair over. "So, how are you doing?"

She smiled sweetly at him. "I'll be leaving soon."

Jack shifted his chair so his face was hidden from the camera he knew to be there.

"I have some good news for you."

"And that would be...."

Jack made sure his face was caught by the camera then, smiling just as sweetly, then turned so it couldn't view the smirk that came to his face. Whispering softly, he said, "The Aschen went up against the Asgard."

She growled at him.

"The Aschen lost."

Mira went wild, pulling at the straps that held her. "I am of the Aschen and they will come and they will kill you all!!"

Jack backed out of the room, shaking his head, walking over to the Doctor. "Take care of my sister. She's the only family I've got."

"We will Mister O'Neill. And perhaps someday she'll get over her delusions that she's an alien. Now there are a few other things I need to discuss with you regarding her treatment...."
