Why This Must Be Read: This highly entertaining piece of fluff takes the final scene of Bane and runs with it, with delightful results.

Shelley has Daniel recover rather quickly from his super-soaking and take off after Teal’c and Ally. He’s aided by Sam and Jack, who turn up armed with water guns of their own. There’s stalking and strategy and shameless cheating, until all four members are utterly soaked…

Hmmm. Wet SG-1 and teamy goodness. I don’t see any downside, do you? :)

All his senses screamed for him to turn around, and he obeyed, firing as he did so.

Colonel Jack O'Neill casually removed his sunglasses. Water dripped from the end of his nose, and his T-shirt was thoroughly soaked.

"Daniel," he remarked, his voice neither threatening nor calm.

Daniel lowered his gun. "Jack. I'm sorry. We were just..."

"Having a watergun fight?" Jack guessed as he shook the water from his glasses.

"Yeah." Daniel had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing. His aim had been good; it looked like he hit Jack in the upper chest and left shoulder. "You see..." he started to explain, but Jack cut him off with a raised hand.

"I think I get the picture. Where's Teal'c?" Jack looked helplessly at his sunglasses, finally letting them dangle from the cord around his neck.

"Um, I don't know. I haven't been able to find him," Daniel admitted. He pushed his glasses up on his nose as his thoughts raced. "If you helped me, we could cover more ground," he suggested.

"I'm unarmed, Daniel. You expect me to enter a fray like this without a weapon?" Jack extended his arms to indicate the warehouse.

"Sir?" Captain Sam Carter questioned as she approached, two large super soakers in each hand. "Will these do?" She tossed one to Jack, who caught it deftly.

He pulled the trigger. A strong stream crashed against the far wall. "Oh, yeah," he breathed, "This'll work just fine."

Sam tossed Daniel a water bottle. "Refill," she explained with a sly smile. She nodded toward the stairs and readied her weapon. "Let's find us a Jaffa."

OMGosh! This is awesome. Bane is one of my absolute fav episodes. I love it. This is a great addition. The characterization is awesome. It flows seamlessly from the end of the ep. This one is priceless! Going into my favorites!

Hee! So glad you enjoyed it. :)

Bane is one of those episodes that attract amazingly few tags/rewrites, although I'm not quite sure why. It's one of the only Teal'c-centric eps that's not about the Jaffa rebellion, it has smart Sam and Jack being poisonous at Maybourne and supportive Daniel and stoic Teal'c trying to avoid hurting anyone. It's got so much. Except the ep tags.

Don't forget to drop the author a line, and let her know!
