#000 Return To Edora (2/?)
Title: Return To Edora (Pt 2)
Fandom: Stargate SG-1
Characters: Sam, Jack, Daniel and Teal’c
Word Count: 529
Rating: PG
Summary: Major Samantha Carter had never dreaded a mission with SG-1 as much as she did this one.
Notes: This fic continuation should not have existed. It does only because of some very inspiring comments on the first piece. So thanks to those who pushed me into this! *hugs* I hope you like this as much as the first! (And don't hesitate to threaten me into writing a part 3! Fire and sharp pointy things can prove to be very incentive!)
Sam stepped through the gate behind the others to see the familiar rocky surroundings that she had come to hate all those years before. Although the area had been cleaned up somewhat, it still had a remarkable likening to the images that had burnt into her brain the last time she’d been there.
A sizeable block of land stretched out in front of them, discarded stones and rocks littering the way. The Stargate had been propped up awkwardly in the middle by several of the larger boulders. If you looked off into the distance, you could see that the landscape eventually ran off to greener pastures and mountainous terrain, with trees scattered sparsely across the entire area and the edge of a small town peeking over the horizon.
P-90’s raised in case of an attack, they silently scanned for any potential dangers and sensing none, began to move towards the town. As he had on so many other missions, Jack cracked a joke as they headed off and glanced in Sam’s direction to see her reaction. No smile. That confirmed his theory that something was wrong!
Moving onwards, Teal’c brought up the front, leaving Daniel and Jack in the middle and Sam at the rear, just where she wanted to be. She wanted to avoid contact with the natives as much as anyone else would want to avoid the plague…or listening to Teal’c cracking a Jaffa joke and staying at the back would be very useful to ensure that happened.
Sam felt her mind slip from the present to move onto the tirade of thoughts that had been troubling her, as they walked. She remembered the last mission to Edora. It had gone terribly wrong and had resulted in Jack spending 3 months on the planet with her while she and the rest of them worked – some more restlessly than others – to get him safely home again.
She recalled the other times that either Jack or she, herself, had been in a similar situation and how mind-numbingly vulnerable it had made her. And she felt a part of her – a very small part – find relief in the fact that so far, everything appeared to be going smoothly.
If it held up like Sam hoped, they would be gone within hours.
“Carter.”
Jack was suddenly by her side and she swallowed down her surprise quickly before glancing up and acknowledging him.
“Yes, sir?” Her voice betrayed her again and came out thinner than she had hoped. She coughed into one hand to clear her throat and tried again. “Colonel?” Licking her lips nervously, she tightened her grip on her P-90 so that her knuckles were almost white.
Jack noticed, but didn’t comment on it. “You ready?” He gestured at the outskirts of the town, raising an eyebrow when his second-in-command grimaced. She hadn’t realised it was so close. Or maybe it just seemed closer because of the intensity of her feelings towards it. Whatever.
Her mind had slipped momentarily as they had walked and now, there it was. Edora.
“Ready as ever,” Sam muttered, forcing a smile onto her face.
Jack shook his head and sighed. “Let’s do this, then!”
