Omg. Could not be enjoying this more. Cam's voice is so FUNNY.
The first time he'd met her at a barbeque at O'Neill's after Vala's little amnesiac adventure, he'd taken one look at the girl-- at her stance, her reflexes and the self-aware shadows behind her bright beauty queen smile-- and exchanged a very skeptical glance with the former black ops general.
I love that they saw her for what she was--a threat, a danger. Someone powerful and alpha. I equally love that Daniel really didn't. He just sort of stumbled into talking about things he loved with a pretty girl on a plane.
But this was the part where I really fell in love:
He'd ask what the hell a woman like that saw in Dr. Daniel Jackson, if he hadn't already seen (and read about) the reaction every dangerous female ever to cross the man's path seemed to have to him: they all wanted to have his babies. All of them.
Laughed out loud. So true.
And career military Cam's point of view continued to be awesome:
"You're Buffy's boyfriend's boss," she said flatly, one hand on the back of the door and the other propped on her hip where she stood blocking the gap.
"Yes'm," Cam told her, automatically adjusting his stance as he would to face a potentially hostile, but necessary ally.
Because as much as they were sizing her up, Buffy's a girl who's had to look for enemies all around her since she was 16 years old. A girl who's been betrayed by friends and a trusting attitude. Who needed not to have another Riley-initiative situation on her hand. And she knows more about them than they think.
But the detail that I really like is that SG1 and team Buffy keep surprising each other. (In your other piece, where she's the psychologist and tells Jackson her name and he says he guesses it's not short for something--great detail. A guy who deals with other cultures wouldn't be surprised by names). Here, it's Cam's casual acceptance of prophecies. I like that.

And this:
"So you must be Galahad Secundus, he who vanquishéd Ba'al?" Summers said, trying for light-hearted as she turned back to Cam. "Huh. Gotta say, I didn't see that coming; I had Murray picked out as the god-killer of your bunch, or maybe General O'Neill."
