Author's Summary:
Returning home after leaving his grandfather with the giant aliens, Daniel is fine.
Why This Must Be Read:
This is a Daniel-centric fic, primarily dealing with the SG-1 episode "The Crystal Skull" where Nick stays with the aliens.
Daniel is 'fine' -- for a certain value of fine. It takes Jack to assure Daniel that he won't always be left behind.
The clang of his feet on the ramp was a relief to Daniel, meaning he was actually solid once more. Reaching the bottom, he was instantly greeted by General Hammond.
“It is good to see you, Dr Jackson,” Hammond said.
Daniel smiled, “It’s good to be seen again.”
Hammond glanced behind him as the Gate shut down, “Where is Dr Ballard?”
“Dr Ballard,” Daniel stated, with a little more brightness than he intended, “Has opted to stay with the giant aliens and learn more about them for us.”
Hammond stared at him in silence.
“He’ll contact us in a few months to give us an update,” Daniel added before noting, “I’m guessing Janet wants me in the infirmary after everything.”
Without another word, Daniel headed out the Gateroom, heading to the infirmary knowing that Hammond was asking Jack what had happened.
