Jack’s Angels Fan Fiction

By Mands

All was quiet in the SGC all except for the loud banter of the few left on duty, all part of the SG-11 unit Jack’s Angels as they ate breakfast and discussed the latest events.

“ You owe me a tenner, my dear Viper.” Said the Executive Officer of the group Mands as she smirked.

“ What!?!” spluttered Viper, The Chief Intel Officer.

“ Yea, you bet me that if I made it through that last mission without a scratch you would give me a tenner.” She then stood up before twirling,“ And if I’m not mistaken not one on me!”

She then sat down giving Tomcat, The Chief Security Officer of JA a high five before sticking her tongue out a sulking Viper. The Commanding Officer Jack and Literary Officer of the group Angel sat smiling watching the exchange while showing their affection for one another by holding hands. The Wing Leader of JA2 Qadesh joined the group with her choice of breakfast, fruitloops! She occasionally waved them around in front of Jack and giggled with Mands at his reaction to them.

“ Aren’t we two short?” asked Tomcat as he looked up from his pancakes.

Jack nodded while grinning which caused Mands to raise an eyebrow at him before asking,“ Okay…what have you done with Sowerby and Flyppers?” She paused in thought for a minute or two before saying again,“ Then again, do I really want to know?” Angel shook her head vigorously before smiling innocently at Jack as he gave her the once over.

“ I have them running laps of the SGC as the pair of them thought it would be funny to put green hair dye into my shampoo.”

Qadesh looked away from her fruitloops and began peering at the few strands of hair she could see peeking out of Jack’s cap, while Mands exchanged sideway glances with both Viper and Tomcat as they all were trying desperately not to laugh. Just as they thought they had some control they could see Sow’s and Flyp’s grumbling as they jogged past the mess hall entrance and all three of them were laughing. Jack simply raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms at them which soon had them coughing trying to regain their composure.

Mands cleared her throat before asking,“ So Jack, whats the deal with the empty SGC?”

“ We got stuck with the skeleton shift, don’t ask me why. Hammond thought we could handle it.”

“ Ermmmm….he did?” asked a very confused Viper, he looked to Tomcat who just shrugged and said,

“ Hey! Don’t look at me!”

Just then Chief Armoury Officer Sowerby jogged into the mess hall along with Flyp both leaning on one another taking slow deep breaths.

“ Is…that..all Boss?” gasped out Sow while Flyp just collapsed on the ground.

Jack grinned,“ For now, for now!” before he winked, Sow just sighed and looked resigned before he remarked,

“ Oh well, at least I don’t look like Kermit the Frog!”

He grinned at Jack and as Mands watched the different emotions flicker across Jack’s face she whispered to Tomcat,“ Uh-Oh…he shouldn’t have said that.”

“ Ya think?” Tomcat added sarcastically.

Mands responded by lightly hitting him on the head before muttering,“ Cheeky Bugger!” Both Sow and Flyp disappeared to get some food while Tomcat sat frowning and rubbing his head.

Qadesh leaned over to Angel and said quietly,“ I bet you anything just as Sow and Flyp sit down to eat something happens.” Angel grinned and said nothing. Sow and Flyp walked back brandishing fully loaded trays and just as they were about to take their first bite, the klaxons sounded and

* UNSCHEDULED OFFWORLD ACTIVATION *

echoed through the halls. Jack snapped into command mode instantly,“ Angel, Qadesh with me to the control room, the rest of you with Mands and arm yourselves with p-90’s and zats and get to the gate room.”

Everyone nodded before they split off, Sow ran and opened the armoury before distributing out P-90’s and zats. They then walked to the gate room and took up defensive positions around it. Jack, Qadesh and Angel sat trying to determine the origin of the wormhole but Angel closed the iris as a precautionary measure.

Qadesh announced,“ We’ve received a Tok’ra signal, sir!”

Jack nodded before ordering,“ Open the Iris, Mands stand down it’s okay.”

Mands gave a sigh of relief and winked at her fellow team-mates before shrugging. They all stood back and watched as the wormhole was established but oddly nothing disturbed the flow of the blue event horizon.

“ Don’t people usually come through about now?” asked Flyp.

Mands slipped a piece of gum into her mouth before chewing and looking to the control room with a what the hell is going on look on her face. The gate room was filled with the eerie sound of the rippling event horizon before silence took over as the wormhole disengaged. Tomcat and the others exchanged confused looks before looking around aimlessly. Mands chewed on her gum as she stroked up the ramp blowing a bubble and as it popped she felt something stopping her from taking it back into her mouth.

She stiffened as she felt warm air caress her face and her hand dropped to her P-90, Qadesh tilted her head at what Mands was doing before she asked,“ Mands?” Everyone’s attention switched to Mands and watched in horror as she raised her P-90 she was lifted off the ground by her throat and her P-90 clattered to the ground.

“ Holy Shit!” exclaimed Tomcat as he and the others raised their P-90’s to point at nothingness. Mands could feel her windpipe being slowly crushed so she began to struggle and kick out hoping to hit anything at all. They all gasped as suddenly a 5ft tall arachnid with a fully formed exoskeleton and six legs appeared before it was crippled and Mands was dropped to the ground coughing and gagging for air.

Viper and Sow ran over helping Mands to her feet before she gasped,“ Reetou!”

Jack stood in the doorway holding a TER and P-90 before he shouted,“ If there is one there has to be others. Arm yourselves with TERs and P-90s, divide into pairs and let’s get these bastards!” Sow distributed out TERs and earpieces to all before everyone divided into pairs

Jack And Angel

Mands And Qadesh

Viper and Flyp

Tomcat and Sowerby

Jack and Angel slid along the corridor, each covering one another before scanning each new corridor with the TER. Angel watched as Jack crouched ran to the next covering position but she looked behind them as she heard a light scuffling. She looked to Jack and hand signalled before he nodded and they started back the way they came. Angel swept the corridor with a TER and gasped slightly as a Reetou was planting a small device on one of the power generators, she nodded to Jack

Mands looked to Qadesh and said quietly,“ Now isn’t that reassuring!” Qadesh rolled her eyes as they moved down a corridor slowly trying not to think how the others were doing and what might be around the next corner.

Viper and Flyp crouched down and rolled out of the way of the flailing limbs of the Reetou they had encountered. Viper gasped as he was picked up and flung down the hallway and he groaned in pain as his back met cold concrete. He coughed from the pain and looked around desperately for his P-90 as he could thanks to his TER see the Reetou heading towards him. He looked the Reetou straight in the eye determined not to show any fear but gasped out as a P-90 sounded and the Reetou toppled to the ground occasionally twitching. Viper looked up and smiled as Flyp stood holding a P-90 grinning before he ran over and helped Viper to his feet.

“ Damn! That hurt!”

“ Yea, I bet! So what do you we do now? And are you okay to carry on?”

Viper nodded and said,“ Well Jack said stay off comms unless necessary and informing people there are only two more Reetou to worry about I think is pretty necessary.”

Sow looked to Tomcat and grinned,“ Well let’s hope we only get one of those two Reetou to deal with.” Tomcat nodded in agreement before he swept the next corridor with a TER and as it showed nothing they moved on. Tomcat took point while Sow kept an eye on their six but the silence was broken by a fuzzy transmission

Sow and Tomcat looked at one another before they started to running to where the last transmission from Mands came from.

Meanwhile Mands slipped Qadesh’s arm over her shoulder and staggered down a corridor with her with the remaining two Reetou hot on their heels. Mands looked at the unconscious Qadesh worriedly, she had taken a hard hit to her head and Mands was concerned by the trickle of blood slipping down her face. Mands winced at a sharp pain in her side and frowned at the cut present there but she stopped and fired on the Reetou backing them off a bit.

“ Come on Q stay with me!”

Tomcat and Sow could hear the sounds of P-90 fire getting closer as they ran through the SGC desperately trying to find Qadesh and Mands. Mands laid Qadesh down before she positioned herself in the middle of the corridor, held her TER and P-90, she kept her eyes alert as the Reetou had gone mysteriously quiet. The only thing Mands could hear was her own laboured breathing and heart racing but she swung round startled as she heard footsteps behind her and found she had her P-90 pointed at Sow and Tomcat.

“ Jesus!!! Don’t do that!!” cried out Mands…she soon recovered her composure and said,“ Q is hurt she needs to get to the infirmary now, I got two Reetou on our six!” Mands slipped a new clip into her P-90 before Sow nodded but as Mands was about to say something else, Tomcat grabbed the hand she had over her side and frowned at the blood on the palm. He then moved the fabric of her top away and gasped at the wound he found,

“ When did this happen???”

“ It’s nothing, just a scratch.”

“ A scratch wouldn’t produce that much blood, you gotta get to the infirmary Mands.”

“ I’m fine!” insisted Mands before she looked to Sow and said,“ You ready to back me up with these Reetou?”

Sow replied,“ Anytime but what about your wound and Q?”

Mands looked to Tomcat and then reassured him,“ I’m fine really but Q needs your help now, get her to the infirmary me and Sow will hold off the Reetou for as long as we can.” Tomcat sighed before nodding, he then walked to Qadesh before gathering her up in his arms. He looked back to Sow and Mands before making his way to the infirmary. Mands and Sow took either side of the corridor and kept their eyes open for any signs of the Reetou.

Meanwhile Jack and Angel were stood over a dead Reetou both trying to disable the small bomb that their guest had left. Angel licked her lips as four wires, red, white, blue and green presented themselves to her and Jack looked as clueless. Jack ran a hand through his now green hair, looked at one strand and suggested,“ Green?”

Angel rolled her eyes before replying,“ I am not going to be blamed for blowing up half of SGC because I took your guess and cut the green wire ok?” Jack nodded and squeezed his eyes shut as Angel cut the green wire but as no large explosion happened, he peeked an eye open and let out a sigh of relief as the countdown had stopped. Angel looked shocked before commenting,“ Wow! For once your guess worked!” Jack smirked so Angel simply shook her head.

They then looked up as Flyp and Viper approached them, Jack observed Viper holding and rubbing his back and he remarked,“ I’m guessing your Reetou did not come quietly?” He raised an eyebrow which only caused Flyp and Viper to groan and roll their eyes in exasperation.

Jack replied <COMMS : Jack here, what’s your status?”

Jack nodded< COMMS : Alright…I’ll send Viper and Flyp to watch out in case any Reetou get past Sow and Mands so Q can be tended to…me and Angel will alert the General to what’s been happening. Jack out.>

Jack looked to Viper and Flyp and saw they had already gone before he and Angel headed out to make a phone call.

Mands cried out as her P-90 was hit from her hand and she was slammed into the wall. Sow was dodging any advances by the other Reetou as he opened fire with his P-90 and watched it stagger back. Mands held her side before she pulled her knife from her boot and with her last ounce of strength slammed it into the front of her attacking Reetou. She collapsed to the ground along with the Reetou and took difficult breaths, Sow shot his Reetou one more time to be sure before he spun round and then knelt down beside Mands.

“ Mands? You okay?”

Mands tilted her head to look at Sow,“ You couldn’t give me a hand to the infirmary could you?”

Sow smiled before helping Mands to her feet supporting her with his arm around her waist and slowly they made their way to the infirmary. Tomcat, Viper and Flyp all turned as Mands and Sow entered. Mands smiled weakly and waved to them all slightly.

“ How’s she doing?” Mands asked as she pointed to Qadesh.

Janet suddenly appeared out of nowhere and smiled reassuringly at the bedraggled group of JA’s that greeted her,“ She’ll be fine, luckily for her she has a hard head but don’t let her know I said that.” Everyone smiled and Janet then looked Viper over and tutted which made Viper grin innocently.

Mands broke off from Sow and stood on her own waiting for Janet to tend for the others before someone tapped her on her shoulder and she turned round and met Tomcat’s stern gaze.

“ What???” asked Mands nervously.

Tomcat shook his head and said,“ Get that wound looked at or am I gonna have to carry you on over to Janet there?”

“ Geez….alright alright!” Mands wandered over to Janet and stood patiently as her side was tended to but she looked up as Jack and Angel entered.

Jack announced,“ I thought you all would like to know that the president himself congratulates us on our performance today and we’ve been given some time off!!” He grinned and the infirmary was filled with loud cries and hoots of joy.

THE END!
