“Ezra, we've got a problem.”
Those words coming from Chris Larabee were never a good thing.
Ezra looked up from under the navigational console, wondering what the crisis was this time.
“How big a problem?” he asked, connecting the last few wires before getting up. As much as he hated to do such menial tasks, when it came to his ship only JD was allowed to touch the wiring.
“Some people came through the Gate. They've been detained, but one of the Solarans thought they looked familiar and sent for me,” said Chris, watching him closely. “It's SG-1.”
If Ezra was the cursing type, he would be lighting the air with foul speech instead of grimacing in acknowledgement of the enormous problem they now had to deal with.
“How bad has this location been compromised?” he asked.
“Not sure - you know the Tau'ri rarely have an agenda when 'exploring',” said Chris, repeating Ezra's own words back to him. Ezra gathered information like Buck gathered girlfriends, and one of his first tasks had been to learn everything he could about anyone they would potentially run into.
“We should still leave this planet,” said Ezra, nodding in agreement. It was unfortunate because they'd only just settled on the planet a few months earlier.
“Already in the works,” said Chris, adding “but that's not the biggest problem.”
Ezra watched him in concern. Chris rarely had trouble divulging difficult information, no matter the subject.
“Vala's with them.”
Ezra's vision filled with red as memories and emotions burst forth, staggering him with their potency. He hadn't realized he would be this affected - had, in fact, thought he was past the bulk of his anger at the woman he had convinced himself he loved.
Closing his eyes, Ezra took several deep breaths before looking at Chris again.
The other man simply gazed at him steadily, seemingly trying to send him a message with his eyes alone.
Then it hit Ezra.
“We're taking them with us,” he said, realizing it was the only obvious course of action. They couldn't trust that SG-1 wouldn't start shouting their whereabouts to the galaxy at large - they hadn't shown any real tact in the past, and they were beyond the point of trusting anyone other than their own people.
“Vin's waiting in the town for you,” said Chris before turning to leave the ship.
Ezra wanted to curse the man as his black form disappeared from view, but knew he couldn't.
Vala was his personal dragon and must be dealt with by him.
At least he'd have one of their comrades with him when he confronted his past.
He was more grateful than he thought he should be.
