Chapter 1
Title: I saw ...
"Damn, no orange juice. Or milk, or soda. Now I have to go to the store, crap." Johnny shut the door to his fridge. "Be careful Johnny, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness." He looked down at his watch, "Damn, now I'm going to be late for physical therapy." He picked up his cell-phone and pressed speed dial. He grabbed his cane and started to head to the door while he was waiting for Bruce to pick up.
:Flash:
Johnny sees himself being hit by some kind of electrical discharge. He watches as Bruce rushes forward to catch him from falling.
'Johnny! Dude, don't die! Don't die!'
:End Flash:
"Hey, Johnny, is that you? Hello? Hello!"
"Oh, hey Bruce, I just now had a vision of me getting killed by electricity, c-?"
"What? Killed! Stay where you are Johnny, I'll be right over."
"Thanks Bruce," Johnny said then hung up the phone. Now all he had to do was wait. Of course waiting could be what got him killed. But then thinking that waiting got him killed might have got him killed. 'Gah, seeing the future is just so confusing.'
Cheyenne Colorado
"We may have a security breech on our hands," Hammond stated to SG-1. "It seems that a government office in Maine was broken into last night and a few paper were stolen. Normally this would be no problem, but the papers contain very sensitive information about the Stargate Program. We believe that someone was tipped off by a employee here on base. Those papers were only in storage for the night, so the thieves would have to know when and where to look for them. We are going to be instituting new security measures, but to be on the safe side, all non-essential personal will be confined to the base."
"Isn't that a bit to much General?" questioned Daniel.
"The President doesn't think so. If a reporter got a hold of what was on those papers, we could be looking at wide spread panic."
Maine
-Twenty minutes after Johnny's call to Bruce-
'Ding dong' rang Johnny's door bell, letting Johnny know that Bruce had finally arrived.
"Man Bruce, I thought you never get here," Johnny put his hand on Bruce's back and-
:Flash:
In this flash, Johnny was in Bruce in the future. He felt himself being held by two people, guards maybe, one on each arm. Johnny looked forward and saw himself being held face down on a table by three guards dressed in a sort of steel chain-mail. RealJohnny watched as VisionJohnny struggles under the grip of the guards. RealJohnny saw a type of snake slithers up to VisionJohnny and punctures the back of his neck. After a moment or two of wide eyes and painful moans, VisionJohnny looked up at RealJohnny in Bruce's body, and VisionJohnny eye's started to glow.
:End Flash:
"What? What did you see Johnny?" Bruce asked worriedly, concerned that Johnny got a vision off of touching him. Usually that meant something bad was going to happen.
"Nothing, it was nothing." Johnny tried to shrug Bruce's question off. He feared that if he told Bruce exactly what happened, Bruce might think he was going nuts. Clearing his throat, Johnny explains to Bruce about the earlier vision. "I saw myself getting killed by electricity, and you were there when I got killed." Johnny put his hand up to stop Bruce from saying anything. "No, you didn't kill me, at least I don't think so yet."
"When you got the vision, what did you touch?"
"The only thing I touched was the cell phone and my cane head," Johnny walked over the the phone and touched it. "Nope, not getting anything, and I already tried my cane."
"Well, lets postpone the physical therapy for the time being and see if you'll flash off of anything else in the house. For the next fifteen minutes they searched in vain, nothing set Johnny off on another vision.
"Look Bruce, this is getting us nowhere. Lets just finish with the PT before we continue, okay?"
"Okay, its your funeral." Bruce stopped, "Man, Johnny, I didn't mean it like that."
"I know, its okay, common saying," Johnny smiled as they headed towards the PT equipment.
Cheyenne Colorado
"The security sweeps will be over in the next thirty-eight or so hours. Lets pick something up, I'd kill for a bag of cheetos rightabout now." Daniel said to the rest of SG-1 as they sat around security cameras.
"Sounds good to me," said Samantha Carter.
"May we also buy jelly-filled donuts Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c inquired.
"Of course Teal'c, you think we would leave out the best part?" O'Neill said jokingly.
Maine
-Thirty Minutes into the Physical Therapy-
"Bruce, can you hand me some water, I'm dying of thirst over here." Johnny panted.
"Yeah, sure, here you go," Bruce handed the sports bottle to Johnny.
Johnny accepted it, then went into another vision.
:Flash:
Johnny sees his Jeep parked a few miles away from a mountain. His vision fast forwards and he sees himself with Bruce opening a manhole and climbing down. RealJohnny looks up at the mountain and catches the words 'Cheyenne Mountain Complex' over the top of a tunnel entrance in big bold letters. He sees a lot of soldiers guarding the opening.
:End Flash:
Johnny spilled his water as he jerked out of the vision. He looks up at Bruce, "Cheyenne Colorado, we need to go to Cheyenne Colorado. I saw us breaking into what looked like a government facility."
"Okay, okay, let me just call Walt and tell him where we're going, and about the vision you've been having."
"Go ahead, I'll be waiting in the car." Johnny headed out the door as he pulled on his leather coat.
"Come on, pick up," Bruce mumbled. After getting the answering machine for like the fourth time, Bruce left Walt a message, then headed out to his car.
Thirty-Nine Hours Later
"Alright, that's the last of the sweeps, lets go."
"Where's the nearest store?" Daniel asked as he took out his car keys from his pocket.
"I think that there is a gas station about an hour's drive from here. That's the nearest on that I know about, unless you know of any sir."
"Nope, the one your thinking of is the closet."
SG-1 exited the Cheyenne Complex and headed to Daniel's car.
One Hour Later
"It seems abandoned O'Neill," Teal'c observed.
"Nah, it just looks that way. Not a lot of people come this way, I think that their main business that they get is from us," Jack said indicating their uniforms, at least his and Sam's. They parked the car and walked into the store. Almost immediately another car pulled up, but SG-1 didn't pay it any close attention.
"Sir, do you think that we have a security breach? Or do you think that those papers missing is just a pure coincident?" Sam asked. The door to the store opened with a jingle of a bell above the door.
"I don't believe in coincidents. Hammond told me that the papers with the 'sensitive' info was the only thing stolen that night. If that's a coincident, then Aphosis is my grandfather!" Jack made his selection, as well as everyone else on the team, and they headed over to the checkout.
"Actually, Aphosis may well be your great great great great gr-"
"I don't want to hear it," Jack said as they all turned in unison and almost ran over a man with a cane.
A few minutes before that conversation
Bruce and Johnny pull up to a rundown gas station. "Look, I can't understand why you didn't want to stop at a hotel or someth-"
"I don't like staying at hotels because I never know what I'll get a flash of in the middle of the night." Johnny explained with slight embarrassment in his voice.
"Oh, I get it." Bruce said turning red. "I understand completely. Well, I couldn't understand cause I don't se-, I'm gonna go gas up the car now." Bruce opened the door to the car and started to fuel his PT Cruiser.
"I'm gonna go in and get a Pepsi, want anything?" Johnny asked.
"Nah, I'm good," Bruce replied, fumbling with the tank cap.
"Okay," Johnny stepped out of the car and headed inside the 7-11. There was a small group of four people conversing quietly in the store. 'They must be the owners of the black cherokee outside,' Johnny thought. He went over to the freezers and grabbed a pair of Pepsi's and walked over to the register just as the group had finished their purchase. Unfortunately they didn't see Johnny. When they turned around they almost ran him over, causing Johnny to bump into a dark skinned man.
:Flash:
He sees the dark skinned man chatting with his friends and feels content. They all must die for what they have done. If only my son were here, then he too could enjoy freedom. They ruined us! They don't deserve to live! As soon as I mature, I will make them pay, they will wish they never crossed the Goa'uld!
:End Flash:
He snapped out of the vision and shuddered violently, stumbling to the floor as a result of the collision. He holds his head in pain as the foursome attempt to help him up. "No, don't touch me," Johnny said as he slowly got up on his own."Something isn't right about you," Johnny said, pointing to Teal'c, whose name he learned in his vision.
"What do you mean by that?" Said the one called Daniel from Johnny's vision.
"Him, Teal'c. It's almost as if he is two different people. One is happy, or more correctly, content. The other is a mind of pure evil. It's called a gou'ld or something like that. It's almost like Teal'c can't feel the Goa'uld's hate for him and the Tau'ri. Whatever the 'Tau'ri' means. Look, I know that sounds a bit crazy, but its true." Johnny looked at each of them, trying to judge their reactions to what he said. He was expecting the familiar look of 'Boy-this-guy-is-totally-off-his-rocker', but instead, Johnny looked as each one of the foursome looked at each other with an unreadable expression.
"Sir," Sam said,"You're going to have to come with us." She reached out and touched Johnny's arm.
:Flash:
Johnny sees himself being shot by the electrical discharge again. He watches as Bruce rushes forward to catch him from falling.
'Johnny! I'm so sorry, it was the only way!'
:End Flash:
"No, Bruce kills me! I have to warn him."Johnny snatched his hand away from Sam's and started to back towards the exit. Suddenly Jack and Teal'c grab his arms and took him out to their jeep with Sam and Daniel following close behind. "Bruce! Bruce! Remember what I said in the car, head there!" Johnny yelled to Bruce, who he hoped was still outside the car gassing it up. Teal'c put his hand over Johnny's mouth and the group shoved Johnny in the back of the car.
Thirty Minutes Later
"Are you guys taking me to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex?" Johnny asked. Silence. "I know you are, and by the way, what is a Stargate? Some sort of new NASA program?" Silence. "Thank you for answering my question." Johnny said sarcastically. The jeep stopped at a guard house that was just in front of a huge wire gate.
"Sargent, called General Hammond and tell him that we may have found our security leak" Jack said nodding his back back towards Johnny.
"Sir," The Sargent nodded then turned and picked up a phone. After a few minutes of conversation, the soldier turned and waved them through the gate.
Bruce
'Dammit Johnny, you couldn't just stay in the car. No, you had to go inside and get a Pepsi.' Bruce whacked the steering wheel with his hand. 'What was it Johnny said? Cheyenne Mountain Complex.' Bruce pulled to the side of the road and pulled out Johnny's map from the glove compartment. Circled in bright red was a mountain symbol with an arrow pointed to it. "Right, that's where they must be taking Johnny." Bruce said out load. "Careful Bruce, they say talking to yourself is the first sign of madness."
Briefing Room
"General Hammond, meet our security leak, Mr...?"
"Johnny Smith. I'm not the security leak. In fact, I had no idea this place existed before SG-1 brought me here." Johnny metally kicked himself for using the term SG-1. Where did that come from anyway?
"Then how did you know our names? Or about Teal'c's Goa'uld? Or even the Goa'uld term for us humans, Tau'ri?" Daniel asked incredously.
"I know because I touched Teal'c. I am, for lack of a better word, a physic. When I touch someone I get a 'vision' or flash of them, either of their past or future. When I touched Teal'c in the convience store, I saw him talking to all of you in this room. He was wishing that his son could enjoy such freedom. Then I got a flash from something else, it was pure hate. It wanted to destroy all of the inhabitants of Earth. Something about the 'Tau'ri' rebeling. I'm not sure what it was from, but it was evil." Johnny said, pausing only once to sit down, taking the weight off his right leg. "The whole reason that I am here is because I had a vision yesterday when I touched my cane head. I saw myself getting killed with somekind of electrical discharge of some sort. Then I had another one when I touched Bruce, my physical trainer. Now I know that this is going to sound crazy, but I saw myself being held down as a snake went into my neck, then my eyes glowed. Earlier today I got another flash of Bruce rushing over after I got shot, this time he was the one that killed me. I've changed my future already, now I have to change it again."
General Hammond motioned for a nearby guard to come over. He whispered for a few seconds, then the guard walked over to Johnny and stood behind his chair. "If you would be as kind as to go with the airman there, he will take you to your quarters." Johnny stood up and went with the guard. As soon as he left, Hammond started talking. "What kind of nut did you bring in here people? A Physic!"
"Sir, he knew certain things about the Stargate program, he could be trying to get us to think that he's crazy so we'll let him go, no questions asked. He would have to have either stoled the papers or have someone on the inside in order to have the kind of information that he does now." Sam said, stopping to breathe. "We should run a backround check to be on the safe side."
Hammond nodded, "Then thats what we'll do. Captain, you'll be in charge of that. I want a report on my desk in a hour." With that, he turned and headed into his office.
Outside the Complex
"Okay, this must be it," Bruce said. He parked his car near a fence that had a 'No Tresspasing' sign on it. He went to the back of the car and pulled out some wire cutters. "With Johnny, you have to be prepared." He started to cut the wire links.
Security Cell in the Complex
Johnny paced back and forth till he got tired. He had already tried to sit down, but then he saw everone that had ever been in that cell. From Carter as a Gou'ald, to the SG-1 as robots. He was really starting to get a headache, and was afraid that he was going to pass out just as another airman unlocked the door.
"The General wants to see you now." The airman said solemnly, staring straight ahead.
"Right, lets go then." Johnny said as he tried not to run out of the door. As he moved through the doorway he felt the airman's hand on his shoulder.
:Flash:
'How'd they get through the Iris?'
'I don't know. Fall back, fall back. Head to the armory, we're running out of ammo.'
'Sir, watch out!'
Johnny saw the airman get shot with a yellow engery bolt.
:End Flash:
"This way sir." The Airman said moving him in the direction that he needed to go in. Johnny nodded and hurried as fast as he could back to the General, causing the airman to jog to keep up. "Slow down."
"Can't... got to warn... General Hammond... Iris is going to ... fail... fire fight will break out... you'll die." Johnny said panting for air.
Soon they had arrived at the briefing room.
Briefing Room a few Minutes Earlier
"He is his file General." Sam said placing it on the table. "Apparently, he is who he claims to be. I ran the backround check, and it seems that Johnny Smith has helped the Penobscot Police Department many times. Technically 'physic' is too strong of a word for him. After a car accident his brain recieved major damage and scarring. He was in a comma for over six years. The doctors had told his mother that if he ever woke up, he may never be able to speak or do much of anything ever again. When he woke up the doctors found that his brain was woking around the scarred tissue and using a part of the brain that we don't normally use. That is why he can see things about people's past and future when he touchs them. I believe that's what happened when he tou-" Samantha was interupted when the door to the briefing room flew opening revealing a huffing airman and a very tired Johnny.
"General, listen to me. In a few minutes the Iris is going to fail somehow. There will be a fight and this airman here," Johnny said pointing to the man still standing at the door catching his breath. "Will die." Johnny sat down heavily on a nearby chair and struggled to breathe properly. Hammond opened his mouth to reply when..
"Offworld Activation! Incoming Traveler! Closing the Iris!"
The General looked at Johnny, then at SG-1. They all rushed up to the control room leaving Johnny in the briefing room.
Just outside the Base
Bruce had located a cement tunnel sticking out of the ground. He unscrewed the top and looked down. It was picth black except for a few red lights near the bottom. "Its now or never, Johnny needs you Bruce." Bruce said trying to convience himself to climb down. With a heavy sigh he crawled into the hole and shut the lid.
Control Room
"I'm not recieving an IDC code." Davis said looking up at General Hammond.
Hammond nodded and looked behind him at SG-1.
"It's happening, just like he said." Daniel said out loud.
"Daniel, the Iris hasn't failed yet, and the only people we know who can get throught the Iris is the Nox and the Tol-" at that moment a small metal ball flew through the iris and landed on the floor. A matter of moments later, everyone in the disembarkation room had been knocked unconsious. Carter got up from behind a consol and look down at the gate room. Jaffa began to swarm through the Stargate, passing right through the Iris as is it wasn't there.
"Close the blast doors!" Sam yelled at a dazed Davis, spurring him into attention.
"Yes Ma'am," he said rapidly typing on his computer keyboard. A few seconds later the blast doors leading to the rest of the base from the stargate room had been shut and a metal shield had been lowered in front of the glass window.
"Teal'c, Carter, you're with me. Daniel, stay here with Davis and General Hammond." O'Neill said as he was running out the down with Teal'c and Carter following close behind.
Briefing Room
Johnny looked out the window and down at a metal ring in the center of the room. 'That must be the stargate,' he thought to himself. He watched as a sheet of metal grew over the hole like a camera iris. He looked away from the Stargate and saw over twenty soilders pile into the room and point their weapons at the stargate. A strange spherical object flew through the metal covering and landed in front of the soilders. It started to glow so bright that Johnny took his eys off it for a moment. When he looked back all the soilders were down and the 'Jaffa' started to come through the Stargate. "Damn, it's happening." Johnny muttered as he looked for another exit then the one that he came in from.
Disembarkation Room
"Kill the ones called SG-1, do not worry yourselves about the fallen in this room. They will be out for many hours," said the head Jaffa in gou'ald. "If you can capture any others easily, then do so. Our god needs more hosts, and perhaps will we be able to get information from them." The jaffa said evily. They nodded and began to work on prying open the doors as more Jaffa streamed out of the Stargate.
Briefing Room
Johnny spotted some stairs leading down and some leading up. He figured that the one going down led to the room with the Stargate, and the one going up led to the control room. He had just decided to take the one going up when a two things happened. One, Bruce rushed through the briefing room door. Two, a group of Jaffa stormed up the stairs pointing their weapons at Johnny. He slowly raised his right hand as he placed his cane down with his left. "What do you want?" He asked calmly.
"You will come with us." The Jaffa in charge said simply, then his weapon fired a bolt of yellow electricity at Johnny. He fell like a sack of potatoes. Bruce rushed over to where Johnny had fallen. His lifeless eyes stared up at the ceiling with a permanently pained expression of surprise and shock.
"You killed him! You bastards!" Bruce stood up and punch one of the Jaffa's squarely in the face. Almost imediately another Jaffa shot Bruce in the back.
"Sir, the other group reports that the vermin called SG-1 have been killed. What are your orders now?"
"Take these two through the Chap'pi with us, they may be of use." The other Jaffa nodded, not questioning what their god would want with the bodies of two dead men.
The only one that took notice of the Jaffa leaving through the Stargate was a sole camera that survived the fight.
