Summary: These are usually story beginnings that I just don’t have time for, and have been regulated to the back burner of my mind. Hopefully if I get them out here they’ll stop clogging my brain. Partial answers to challenges as well.

SG1 I

Don't own BTVS or SG1



Xander nodded to Buffy as he took the last of the explosives from his friend. The two of them were returning the last of the remaining explosive equipment that they had spent the last month borrowing for the not so honorable mayor 'snakehead' and their graduation party. "Is that the last of it?" He questioned, as he pushed the crate closed back to the way it had been when they had first gotten there. Not that the security was likely to notice, but it was better to keep people guessing.

"Yeah that's the last of it." The Slayer said as she placed the duffel backs they had used in an out of the way spot. "You ready to get on out of here?" She questioned him. "Or do you need to get some early Christmas shopping done here before you leave? After all you used this place for both my birthday and graduation day shopping." She added with a smile.

"True," Xander said as he seemed to consider it for a moment. "Maybe some other time though, wouldn't want to push our luck and all. Do shall we leave before the soldier boys decide to notice that someone has actually broken into their base?"

The blonde laughed at this unaware of glad her friend was to hear those sounds coming from her. After graduation the slayer had been rather subdued with Angel having left town. "Come on now, you know that's not likely to happen. Why, something like that would require Army Intelligence." She mocked, shaking her head at her friend.

Xander grinned at her hoping that her good mood would stay. He never realized how much Deadboy contributed to Buffster's smiles. "True, and since Army A.I is as good as real world A.I's that its amazing that they don't all shoot themselves. Or at least can manage to tie their shoes."

"Maybe they'd shoot themselves in the foot." Buffy suggested.

"As much as I enjoy a good army bashing I'm going to have to ask you two to put your hands in the air right now." A figure dressed all in black with a gun said coming around a corner. The lights of the building snapped on and the two were confronted with a soldier. The two teens looked at the man in surprise, as they raised their hands. This was the first time that they had ever actually been caught while they were here borrowing things for their war.

"Did they take anything Carter?" The man questioned, as a few other soldiers stepped around the corner and glared at the duo as they moved in to search them. The man had taken his attention off the two for a fraction of a second, and that was all the time the pair of scoobies needed to move.

Xander tossed himself at the in charge guy with the gun, while Buffy performed a back flip over the guards that had surrounded them and began knocking them out of the way. "No offense and all, but please stay down." The blonde requested as she twisted the arm of one soldier behind his back and side kicked another in the chest knocking him into one of the shelves. She then tossed her prisoner at the woman whom had been checking the explosives.

"C'mon Buff, its time to go." Xander said as he tossed the gun he had taken from his opponent into his hand and began shooting out the lights with pinpoint accuracy that he would never have managed had been focusing. He tossed the empty gun off to the side as they made their way out the door.

Samantha Carter kept her surprise at how easily they had been outmaneuvered as she got up and reached for her radio. "Teal'c, they're heading for the main gate you need to stop them."

"Understood." Teal'c returned as he put the radio down and watched for anyone, and the saw the pair moving between the shadows with care and speed that only warriors ever used.

When they got to the edge of the lights they came charging in yelling. The male tauri ignored him and ran past him to engage one of the guards, while the short female moved to take him on. The girl came running at him before leaping into the air with a flying kick. The Jaffa spun to the side and avoided the blow. Continuing his spin he managed to make his fist connect with the tauri girl's shoulder. He looked over at where the soldiers were, and was slightly surprised to see that they were still fighting the single warrior on his own. The fighter used a combination of speed and surprise attacks to keep the soldiers moving and take his opponents down. The Jaffa was takeed away from his watching though as his feet were kicked out from under him.

Teal'c grunted as he hit the ground, but came back up to see the girl grinning at him. This was a surprise considering the amount of strength that he had struck the girl with he would have imagined that she would hae stayed down instead of climbing back to her feet. The two then moved toward each other, exchanging a flurry of blows. Teal'c managed to take only the minor blows to his body while the harder and heavier blows he just barely avoided being missed by the powerful fists. After a bone numbing shot to the jaw Teal'c managed to pull off a quick tackle and pinned the girl beneath his superior weight by sitting on her small form.

The girl glared defiantly at the big man and bucked hard enough to knock the jaffa off his perch.

The blonde climbed back to her feet, only to be met with an elbow to her shoulder that spun her around. The blonde went down, but she performed a sweeping motion to knock her large opponent off balance. The two climbed back to their feet and grabbed at each other. Teal'c used his greater size to get the blonde in a hold and tossed her back to the ground using a throw that Master Bra'Tac had shown him long ago. Not taking any chances the jaffa disabled the girl before she climbed back to her feet. Pinning her arms behind her back so that she could no longer continue to fight. The jaffa turned and saw that the other soldiers were finally securing the other member of the team. He also noticed that while the team that was holding him was covered in bruises and scratches and yet the young man had almost none on him.

The other members of SG1 joined the group by the gate as the two intruders were brought to their feet. A light was brought shone on them, and there a few noises of surprise. "Crap, they're only kids." Col. Jack O'Niell muttered, as he looked the two over.

"Notice that did you?" The girl asked sarcastically.

"Maybe sir, but you saw what they did to us back in the supply shed." One of the men said glaring at Buffy.

"Both of you be quiet." Jack ordered, not about to let either of them to continue to mouth off at each other like they were doing. He then turned to look at the blonde since she was the one that was talking right now. "You two may not be N.I.D like I thought you might be, but your still in a lot of trouble. Do you know that stealing from the Military is a federal offense? Now your going to tell me what it is that you two were doing in there." He said, as he glared at the both of them.

The two of them just stood there and met his glare unflinchingly. "Is that glare supposed to scare us? Cause I've seen scarier glares on her ex boy friend's face." The dark haired teen said with indifference.

"Yeah, I think it kind of rates at the level of a Ripper glare personally." The blonde said as she met the glare unconcerned. "Good against regular folks, but not enough to make me all that scared."

"Good point." The boy said.

"Lock them up!" Jack ordered at the soldiers in annoyance. The soldiers nodded and began dragging the pair away.

"Hey big guy." The blonde said. "I hope you'll give me rematch one day." She said with a grin. "You got some really great moves that I have got to pick up on. That throw of yours? That was good real good."

"We shall see." Teal'c said bowing to the girl before she was led off.



Jack sighed as he looked at the folders of the pair of kids in the next room. Alexander 'Xander' Lavelle Harris, and Buffy Anne Summers. The two of them were reported as being slightly below average students, yet they had both passed their final tests with flying colors. The fact was they were both twenty to thirty percent higher than most peoples would expect from them. The two also had records that were less than great as well. Then again there was the fact the two of them had broken into the army base numerous times. They may have only admitted to doing it one or two other times but he had his doubts on that one. No kids were that familiar with a place as those two had been after only breaking into it a couple of times. Jack sighed as he tossed the folders down. This would have been so much easier if they had been N.I.D stealing weapons like he thought. Because that would have been so much easier to deal with. When rogue military groups stole weapons like that you knew what to do with them because there was a set of rules when it wasn't anyone in the military though and the rules started to get somewhat hazy at times.

"Show them in." He ordered to the man by the door, who nodded and walked out the door and came back a moment later with the girl and boy. The pair of them were cuffed with heavy chains, their skills in hand to hand made them to dangerous to casually trust. "Have a seat kids," he told them, "cause it looks like we're going to be here for quiet some time." The two sat down for a minute and looked the older man in the eye. "You two are here for terroisim, theft, and a handful of other little things that should get the both of you a long time in jail." The Colonel explained to them. "Someone has been helping you out though, because they found a way for you to get out of this mess with a little bit of help."

"And what would that be?" The blonde asked coolly not trusting the second chance that she was being handed.

The Colonel shook his head, the girl was cool as any experinced POW he had seen while the boy was jittery and following the lead of what he seemed to consider his leader. He was hoping to use the loyalty that the pair had to each other to his advantage. If not he could always split them up an see what happened to him. "Here's the deal." Jack said as he slid clipboards at the two of them. "You can either join up in the military, where you can use your various skills for the good of the country, or you can rot away in jail for the rest of your lives." He leveled the two with a hard stare. "Your choice about how you want to spend the rest of your lives. You can be stuck behind stone walls for the ret of your lives or you can be doing something. As it stands neither of you actually has a criminal record. You've been accused of various things but never charged or brought to trial for them either. If you decide to try and fight this in court the deal is taken off the table and you'll have to see how well you stand up to what they have against you. If you are really lucky you'll only have to deal with a few years. If not well I'm sure that you didn't have anything planned for the rest of your lives."

The two stared at the clipboards in surprise, because this had been the last thing that they had ever expected. "Can we get a few minutes to think about it?" The blonde asked as she eyed the paper uncertainly.

"Sure thing." The Colonel said, as he got up. He stopped at the door though and looked over his shoulder. "You got ten minutes before the law comes and you lose your choice though." He then stalked out of the room.

The two scoobies sighed as they looked at the papers in front of them. "Now what?" Xander asked still slightly shell shocked about the choice they were being given.

The Slayer shrugged. "Doesn't seem like we have a whole lot of choice other than to sign." The Slayer said as she hesitantly fingered her pen.

"Great." Xander said as he reluctantly picked up his own pen. The two took a deep breath before they began to sign the papers in front of them. Jack looked in the doorway and nodded as he watched the two going through the forms. Who knows the two of them might be of some use to him someday.



Buffy and Xander shared a friendly hug as they met for the first time in a couple of years. "Buffster you look great!" Xander complimented as he swung his friend around in the air.

"You too Xan." Buffy said after he had put her down. They were right they did both look great. Each of them had surprisingly flourished under the heel of the military. Each was strong and capable possibly more than they had been when they had been living in Sunnydale. The two then turned to look at the familiar person that was going to be giving them their orientation. "Uh, hi?" Buffy said nervously, as she saw Colonel O'Neill and his friend Murray. Since her capture Buffy had done her best to learn about the guy that had taken her down. Colonel Jack O'Neill was something of a black ops legend that was currently doing something extremely hush hush up here in the mountain. Word was that every now and then when something really weird was going on is when they called for Jack. Some of the times he was said to travel with a giant of a man called Murray, a leggy blonde called Carter, and a Geek known as Jackson. Other times he was said to run missions solo. It was when he was without backup that he was supposed to be really dangerous as he had a tendancy to get really bloodthirsty when he was out on his own.

"Greetings Sgt. Summers." Teal'c said bowing his head at the girl. "Come see me later, and we shall see about that rematch now that you have had some time to train yourself." The blonde blushed a bit at this as she recalled her last comment to the large man.

"Right, now that we've all said our helloes." O'Neill said, glaring at the two newbies who instantly jumped to attention amidst the snickers of the other newbies. "Lets get this stuff done, I have other things to do than to baby sit a couple of small town delinquents." The two bristled at this, but remained at attention as Jack lead them into the mountain. "As of now you are mine to do with as I please and it just so happens that you are all going to be going into the mountain for some serious new training and other things. Trust me when I tell you once your done here it will be like nothing you've ever experinced before. First you'll have several non-disclosure forms that each and everyone of you is going to have to sign before you can even get on the elevator and then you'll be debriefed. Do not ask questions about anything until after that time."

The two Scoobies rolled their eyes at the dramatics of the man. Xander had gotten a reputation as someone that could do the impossible when it came to explosives and that there wasn't a better person to run demolitions than the dark haired man. It was said that a Xander Harris bomb was sure to be big pretty and deadly. Buffy on the other hand had gotten the reputation in Iraq as a person that you dropped in the middle of occupied turf and came back later to extract her or possibly take control of the area. No one was better than she was when it came to impossible missions. She was the monster that people were always afraid of coming after them. THe two Hellmouth defenders who saw the world in black and white had long since dissapeared as they now saw the world in more shades of gray than they ever had before. The military had changed the two of them in more ways than anyone who hadn't been a part of the military would understand. They may have started off as trash at the bottom of the barrel as far as most of their training commanders were concerned but after time they had shown that Sunnydale living made Boot Camp look like a breeze.

The group was then marched into a briefing room where several clipboards with numerous papers and non-disclosure forms rested.



The two soldiers sighed as they leaned against the wall and went through their mail. "Oh look, its them again." Xander said with a snort as he tossed another form in the trash.

"What is it?" Buffy asked curiously.

"Eh, just some Colonel Mayborne that wants me to transfer to the army base in Sunnydale as some sort of liason." Xander said with a shrug.

"Really?" Buffy said with surprise. "I've been getting a similar request from an Agent Riley. Seems that he believes that I would fit in great there in their experimental training group that they have back home."

"Think that they know anything?" Xander asked curiously.

"If they knew anything then I wouldn't still be here." Buffy assured her friend with a grin.

"Good point." Xander returned to her.



Buffy couldn't believe that there were so many demons trying to break in. She though that she had left the whole supernatural thing behind her. She needed to get to her quarters where her weapons were stashed. The only thing she had as far as weapons were the combat knives, trench shovels and the marine swords she had managed to get her hands on. This was not going to be fun no matter what it is that she did. She thought as she adgusted the two swords so that they now rested comfortably on her back. The fact that this was almost exactly like a foothol situation was not lost on her and she idly wondered just what it was that she was going to have to say to get the people to back off.
