Premise: It seems that SG1 and the IWC have intermarried. How did this happen? VEGAS of course. Question is who married who and will they stay married? Based on the woke up in Vegas challenge posted on

Timeline, Sg1 S8. That being said Carter is not interested in the loser cop but neither is she interested in Jack. Buffy set after chosen as I am not to sure how the canon timeline fit’s I’ll make Buffy 29 in this.

Chapter : Did she ever learn? Beer Bad!

Buffy’s eyes awoke to the glaring sun, shining brightly in her room. She instinctively shut her eyes two thoughts coming to mind no wonder vamps hate the sun. The second thought she actually vocalised, “Why don’t I ever learn? Beer bad,”

As she came to be more awake she noticed that her bed had more than one occupant, lying next to her was a slightly older gentleman that in her opinion wore his age well. Though seeing the scars figured him to be either a hunter or military black ops at a guess. Her mental musing actually caught up with reality as she realised she was lying naked in bed with said stranger. She jumped up with all the speed and agility that she possessed and demanded, “Who the hell are you?”

The shout roused the man who became instantly aware, “General Jack O’Neill, You are?”

Buffy wouldn’t have said anything and beat a hasty retreat except for at that moment he rubbed his face showing a suspicious object on his finger. She looked in horror at his hand, “I can’t believe I am about to say this. I don’t suppose you were married before you came to Vegas?”

Jack looked at his own hand, “Oh crap. No,”

Buffy to her credit gave only a resigned sigh as she picked up what seemed to be the marriage certificate, “Well that makes me Buffy O’Neill,” with a barely a blink and a tweak of boldness she didn’t know she possessed she picked up her clothes from the chair. Then turning back to her new husband with a wink, “I get the shower first honey,” and promptly dropped the towel.

Jack was sure that his jaw dropped and his he took in her toned naked body then for the first time in a very long time he thanked whoever the fates were. That and made a mental note to have a cold shower.

It wasn’t unfair as the fates had had a hand in this. The warriors were needed in the upcoming battle. All their expertises were needed and added to that they had been able to find their soul mates making them stronger for the upcoming battle.

She came out of the bathroom looking almost her immaculate herself. Still with an impish grin on her face, “All yours,”

He quirked his eyebrow, “If you don’t stop teasing I won’t be responsible for my actions,”

Damn him she thought the way he was looking at her with open lust, it made her insides wobbly. Channelling her inner Faith she met his smirk with one of her own, “If you don’t cover your chest up we won’t leave the bed for the day. I want breakfast and I think we need to talk before that,”

Jacks mind admittedly jumped to bad places at hearing her comments and was surprised with himself. Just like Buffy had inferred he wasn’t thinking that the drunken non remembered marriage was such a bad thing.

He then proceeded to go and dress himself and muttering under his breath, “Cold shower, really cold shower,”

Buffy smiled to herself and realised that she still had it, of course her senses were starting to reassert themselves and doubts started to crawl in. Thing was she thought that she might want this, even if he was military and once in a while didn’t she deserve to be selfish. Her musing were broken by a brisk knock on the door, she looked through her peep whole to see two secret service agents. Opening the door and smiled brightly she had the huge bunch of flowers thrust into her hands and a phone in the other.

She didn’t seem phased just shut the door dumped the flowers on the bed and lifted the phone to her ear. Smiling brightly, “Hello Henry. Thank you - Yes I can put you on speaker,”

Her husband was seemingly frozen on the spot for a moment before blinking. He heard the president’s voice, “Congratulations on your impromptu wedding to the lovely Buffy,”

Jack gave a wry smile, “Thank you Sir. It was just so sudden,”

That caused Buffy to snort and the president to laugh, “I can’t order you Buffy but Jack won’t be phased by your work. That and Jack. Mrs O’Neill does have the security clearance. Her team I will informally grant permission to but they will need their clearances raised also,”

Buffy frowned, “Why would my team need their clearances raised?”

The president was obviously happy, “You weren’t the only person to have an impromptu wedding. Col Carter has married Xander, Dr Jackson Faith, and Teal’c has married Willow,”

This made them both jubilantly punch the air, “Oh you’ve made my day Henry. I’m not going to get yelled at now by Giles when I report in. Thank you again for the flowers they were lovely Henry,”

“Your welcome Buffy. I meant what I said I think you will be a perfect couple he hates the NID as much as you do,”

Jack sat down on the edge of the rumpled bed. Figuring that they really should start talking the conversation just added another few layers to the puzzle that was his wife. Taking a deep breath, “Okay why do you hate the NID?”

Buffy swallowed down the ingrained hatred she now had for the organisation, “I stumbled upon them. They were messing things in they didn’t understand. I took them down,” He noticed the cold glint in her eye it was one he well recognised in his old buddies. He didn’t however expected it from the gorgeous blonde he’d awoken next to. Second thought though was that the sharper side wasn’t so unbelievable in fact it seemed to suit her.

He broached the next topic silently cursing his commander in chief, “How do you feel about aliens?”

Several things in her mind fell into place, one his tone was how she talked about demons, two her memories of the last few weeks had been all about an Ancient Egyptian slayer. Before she called down whistler to see if she could work out what the what was, she figured he deserved an answer, “Okay if it’s a bad guy point them out give me a weapon and let me at them. If they are friendly I’ll invite them to lunch as long as I don’t cook,”

Then knowing that this was probably the real test, “I about to yell for errant demon messenger to get a few questions. Despite my earnest wishes to flatten his ass don’t shoot him. Oh and I’ll take extraterrestrial threat and join it with the sub-terrestrial threat I deal with,”

Jack was curious it seemed demons were real maybe he could have disputed the fact but really his life had been a bad sci-fi script for ten years. Standing in the middle of their hotel room hands on her hips she magnificent in her anger though, “Whistler get your butt down her before I make your ribcage my hat and use your skin for a new pair of boots,”

The demon materialised to her, “Now slayer can’t you be a blissful newlywed,”

Her eyes narrowed and then she all but purred, “I would love to be a happy newly wed but I want a heads up,”

The demon looked surprised, “What do you mean?”

Buffy rolled her eyes, “I only play the ditz Whistler. Now I know I had the choice to the marriage coz the precious powers can’t interfere that much. Plus no matter how drunk I got I wouldn’t have married someone unless I really wanted to. What I don’t like though is the fact that my husband is in charge of the Chapp’ai that you lot seemed to have been sending me cryptic messages about,”

Jacks head shot round at this listening a hell of a lot more closely, “Now slayer it’s true that you will be needed for what is come,”

Buffy actually collapsed into Jack who instinctively wrapped an arm around her waist. Liking the feeling a hell of a lot she looked up into his eyes fluttering her lashes just a tad more than necessary “Tell me do galactic emergencies happen on Tuesday’s or is just my apocalypses,”

Jack couldn’t help but smile at her, they really did seem to be well matched, “Nope Friday’s for me. Maybe we should just hide on those days,”

Pouting immensely, “Love the idea but if we did then the world would end and that would royally suck,”

Whistler couldn’t help but smile at the small display it seemed that they were in fact on the road to happiness. Hating breaking up the moment but needing to do his duty, “Slayer I am able to tell you that soon a new evil will encroach this galaxy it will need the chosen two to be defeated,”

With that he left as abruptly as he came Buffy just grumbled, “Seems I have a new assignment stupid powers,”

Jack had actually kept his arms around his new wife and asked tentatively, “Would you hate me right now if I asked what a slayer was?”

Buffy just sighed, “Well the story starts like this One girl in all the world . . . - Only I suck at the rules so when I was in a real big jam I made all the potentials active,”

They continued onwards for an hour telling each other about each other and their friends, surprisingly they revealed more to each other then they had to several other. Afterwards though Jack took a deep breath, “So are we actually contemplating this,”

Buffy gave him a predatory smile, “Oh I’m not finished with you but we need fuel and should take the chance to mock the others,”

Jack loved the sound of this but added solemnly, “We are leaders with great power comes great responsibility,” without missing a beat, “”That and the chance to tease our minions mercilessly,”
