Xover with The Sentinel
A re-visit to my old Sentinel fandom days (like one year old >.< LOL), this story combines the best of what I loved about both fandoms. Lady Ra brings us heart-stopping action, quirky canon elements from both canons like quantum universes and Sentinel/Guide bonds (though that's a bit more fanon than canon), and a unique premise on quantum travel and why an alt!Jim and alt!Blair come to our universe. Lady pays homage to both shows equally with both SGA and Sentinel getting plenty of page and talking time, a very nice eventuality that doesn't always occur in ficcage. Overall, this is a "page-turning" fic that will keep you on the edge of your seat and your eyes firmly glued to the monitor.
Story Summary: A Jim Ellison from an alternate reality comes through a wormhole, looking for this Earth's Blair Sandburg.
In front of the stargate a shape was forming. It took a few seconds but it finally took on the rough dimensions of a door. The rim looked to be made out of the same material as the stargate, and the area inside the rim shimmered like an event horizon.
Jack took off at a run for the gateroom, the rest of the team right behind him. He entered the room just as a man came barreling through the wormhole door, and Jack heard ten rifles lock and load. Batting at himself like he was on fire, the man yelled, "Don't shoot, don't shoot!"
Jack pushed his way through the soldiers. "Doesn't work that way, buddy. You gotta give us a reason not to shoot."
The man continued to move, hopping on one foot and then the other, stripping off his outer jacket, while trying to hold up a warding hand. "Don't come too close."
Jack rolled his eyes. "That's not helping your case."
"Scorpions."
Jack searched his memory for the word, thinking it was code for something but he drew a blank. It was Carter's gasp that drew him back to the disconcertingly large black insects with vicious looking stingers at the end of their curved tails the man was flicking to the ground with loud sounds of disgust. Jack took an involuntary step backwards. "Ugh. If you're thinking this is gonna keep you from getting shot, you're out of your mind. What the hell--?"
The only thing that kept Jack from encouraging the soldiers to open fire was that the man started stomping on the scorpions with his heavy boots. Wincing at the crunching sound, not convinced the little suckers couldn't sting right through the sole, Jack gestured at a couple of the soldiers to help with the pest control problem.
