And Adventure Find Us Always

And Adventure Find Us Always
Drizzt blinked, the light of the circle at odds with the ambient light of the room containing it. He didn't need the growl of his loyal companion to tell him he was in unfriendly quarters. The unfamiliar barrel objects pointing his way gave off a menacing air all on their own.

He held his hands wide in a universal gesture of peace, conscious of the amulet of his goddess slipping free enough to be seen. Maybe it would hold meaning here, as he suffered the indignity of being disarmed and jabbered at in words he did not know.

Finally, one man wearing gnome spectacles came forward, looking inquiringly at the amulet. Drizzt tipped his head back, as if to say 'go ahead, touch'.

In the words that followed, Drizzt heard the man actually say 'Mielikki' as he babbled excitedly. The man also used another word Drizzt could catch, one common to all elves, even his evil brethren.

Apparently, Mielikki was an Ascended Being, and the gnome-spectacled man had heard of her.

"Always interesting, our life, Guen," Drizzt said softly as they were escorted to a smaller room with chairs.

The panther merely yawned at it.

Taller Women

Taller Women
"I'm not used to being taller than the men around me," Sam said, getting a flash of white teeth in that uncanny ebon skin. The white rather mirrored his hair, and Sam just couldn't get used to those lavender eyes...they made her want to get closer to the drow she had befriended, just to know more.

"I'm used to women being taller. All my life, though humans don't tower as much over me."

"Really?" Sam hoped he'd continue.

Drizzt could read that anticipation, and toyed with what to say, before opting for honesty. "Drow women are usually bigger than the males. More fear inspiring that way."

"I don't want to know, do I?"

"Most don't."

For His Brethren

For His Brethren
Teal'c raised an eyebrow as he watched the newcomer in the gymnasium. It was not often he saw someone so skilled with weaponry, and this … dark elf was practicing with two swords against an invisible opponent.

Daniel said the new ally came from a galaxy guided by many who had Ascended.

But Teal'c knew more. Teal'c knew that the energies flowed strangely around the ally, and that most of the Goa'uld had avoided those sectors because of it.

He wished to know more, for his brothers still enslaved.

He stepped into the gymnasium with his staff. He would learn all.

Science Versus Magic

Science Versus Magic
Daniel and Sam both blinked in a disconcerted fashion as Guenhwyvar appeared and the statuette vanished.

"Still do not see how that is possible," Daniel muttered.

"And yet you tell me that the stone ring takes us not just from one realm to another, but to entire worlds in distant places under other stars," Drizzt said. "How is it so different, when my friend is merely using the statuette as a beacon to this plane from her own?" As he spoke, the drow was stroking the cat that outmassed him significantly.

"We're still wrapping our heads around 'magic'," Sam pointed out.

"As I must understand that 'science' is not merely a gnomish invention, prone to explosions," Drizzt agreed.

"I do believe science has its own explosive capability on a regular basis," Teal'c said, even as he reached out to run a hand over the astral panther's fur. Drizzt met the Jaffa's eyes and smiled.

"Point taken, both cases," Daniel said, shaking his head at them all. He'd died and come back but there was nothing in what little he could remember that suggested Drizzt and Guenhwyvar should even be real.

"Even the Ancients didn't know everything," Sam told him quietly.

Dance of Skill

Dance of Skill
Teal'c had reach, both naturally and because of the staff he wielded.

Drizzt had speed on his side, and experience. Teal'c had learned that the drow was a fighter, had been one for all of his adult life, and he'd seen many wars and battles before coming through the Stargate.

The scimitars the drow favored were devious as they danced in and out of Teal'c's defense. It was rare that either touched the other, as Teal'c had both endurance and patience on his side, handling the sudden bursts of frenetic swordplay as easy as the testing strikes.

Both wore smiles, finding a joy in the dance of skill few on the base could understand. The rare contact of blade on skin, never drawing blood, or staff on flesh but not hard enough to bruise, brought laughter.

They ignored those that observed, allowing no distraction through.

This was who they were.

A Ranger, a Hitter, and a Jaffa

A Ranger, a Hitter, and a Jaffa
Drizzt looked to Teal'c, who was the one he trusted most as the other non-human on the team, as Sam brought a new man into the room. He had not seen this one on any of the teams before, but when told of the substitution, had been assured that Eliot Spencer was a specialist for hostile extractions.

Eliot, for his part, seemed to take in the inhuman appearance that Drizzt had without more than a raised eyebrow, and Teal'c gave a solemn nod of trust.

"Carter said you lost your pet scientist?" Eliot asked, looking between Teal'c and Drizzt.

"We know precisely where he is, Spencer," Teal'c said smoothly. "Access to him, however, has been removed."

Sam ducked her head to hide the smile, but Drizzt didn't bother. He did smile, and even chuckled.

"I am told you are an effective extraction handler?" Drizzt questioned. "It will be a two person infiltration model we work from."

"I typically work alone," Eliot said firmly.

"In this case," Sam began, "it is literally impossible. Security has to be bypassed simultaneously at two points, but there are sensors that Teal'c would trip because of his biology.

"Utilizing a pure human and our drow in residence is necessary."

Eliot sized him up, and Drizzt returned the searching look with one of his own. Sam, without warning, tossed the piece of fruit she'd been holding in one hand, and the speed with which Drizzt snatched it as the offering it was must have registered... given that Sam was out of the corner of Drizzt's eyes, and he'd never looked to catch it.

"Yeah, we can do this," Eliot said, intrigued now.

"Gate time in half an hour, then," Sam decreed.

---

Teal'c took them as far as he could, and had described the lay out, and the two points that needed bypassed at the same time.

"Spencer, if the guards are alerted, please do not interfere with the giant panther that may appear," Teal'c advised.

"The wh -- Okay, no, never mind. I will not interfere with the panther."

"You might say, the panther is rather distinctive," Teal'c said in his most deadpan voice.

Eliot snorted. "Man, that's my line!"

"If she is not needed, I will introduce you at the base, if you like," Drizzt promised him.

"It is an experience," Teal'c said with a hint of fondness.

"Must be," Eliot muttered.

---

Eliot did not get to see the panther.

He did, however, see that the drow they had given him as a partner was... very much a fighter in the way he was. The reflexes and ability to handle himself under pressure was what his own partners said about him - scary good.

That he used swords, of all things, was the part that really had Eliot curious, while he protected Dr. Jackson, and Drizzt moved as the rear guard. Staffs used by the guards literally broke under the connection with the one that glowed blue at the hilt, while the other was just used to deflect or skewer where armor left openings.

What the hell kind of metal could do that?

Pretty soon they were in range for Teal'c to take up covering fire, and Eliot focused on helping the scientist stay on his feet and get them to the Gate. He'd ask questions once they weren't being chased and shot at.

---

Dr. Jackson was in medical's hands, Sam was tucked up in there with him, and Teal'c had stayed with Drizzt. Eliot decided he'd follow them, not in a huge hurry to sign his exit NDA, and curious.

"Hey."

He dropped onto some cushions in the rec room that the pair had gone to, with Drizzt pulling out a cleaning kit for his blades. The blue glow was gone, and now Eliot could see the way they each bent light was different and unique to each one.

"Greetings, Spencer," Teal'c said.

"Do you prefer your familial name, or your first one?" Drizzt asked. "I prefer my first; the family has complications attached to it."

"Either's fine," Eliot told him, but he nodded a little. "And I get that, family being complicated."

"I am very far away from any of them that might exist," Drizzt said, "though as best I know, I am the last of the line."

"Yeah?"

"When I made my choice to go through the Gate, I had been alone for a time, and had dealt with the undesirable portion of my family long before." Drizzt glanced over. "Yes, I am centuries old, no I have never had a symbiont or been in one of the cabinets they use.

"The rules of my galaxy are not as they are here."

"He is a magical elf," Teal'c offered, and Eliot heard mischief in the words, despite the dry tone.

"I am not magical. I am perfectly normal for a drow. I use magical items, I will grant," Drizzt retorted, and Eliot smiled, as he saw these two had a deep camaraderie, one that had repetitive arguments.

"Magical?" Eliot questioned. "That's how your sword went through the staffs?"

The drow nodded. "Their spells are strong enough to last here, though I suppose, in time, they might fade."

"He can also cast a globe of darkness around his enemies, or bring up illusory flames and small lights," Teal'c provided. "But he says he is not magical."

"Innate abilities are not magical," Drizzt answered that.

"So you tell us," Teal'c said.

"Because you use magical things, and have abilities we see as magical, that's why people -- or Teal'c, at least -- call you magical?"

"Indeed," Drizzt said with a dramatic sigh.

Teal'c gave a slow smile, and Eliot had to grin.

"So what's this about a panther?" Eliot asked.

Drizzt set his blade and cleaning cloth down, drew out his figure, and called softly for his beloved companion.

Shortly, a gigantic panther, as big as the biggest tiger Eliot had ever seen was in the space between them.

Eliot's eyes bulged out, and then the solid black cat head-butted Drizzt once -- rocking the drow a little -- before coming over to investigate the new person. A few sniffs, some tentative pets, and she flopped over beside him for more petting.

"Whoa."

"Guenhwyvar likes you," Teal'c said, as Drizzt resumed cleaning his blades.

"She's beautiful," Eliot said, using both hands to provide the pets and scratches desired.

"She is my soul's shadow now, and I cannot imagine life without her," Drizzt said. Guen made a low, pleased noise, and accepted the new person as one of hers to protect now.

Eliot settled in to see what more he could learn, with an eye to hopefully getting some sword lessons.

"So, anything you'll cough up for being gone for the last couple of weeks?" Hardison asked as Eliot picked up the remote as he fell back on the couch.

"Got a little exercise, played with a cat, saw some scenery," Eliot said, making Parker and Hardison exchange a look. They wouldn't push... but they knew it was more than that.

Notes

Notes
This series began off a comment fic written by a friend of mine on LiveJournal. 2009 is what I have as a beginning date, and 2022 for the most recent addition.

As a comment rightly pointed out, the figurine does not usually vanish. I was writing from memory back in the 00s when I posted this originally. I am choosing to leave it as is, and state the rules of the Stargate Universe make it necessary for the figurine to convert to Guenhwyvar. Apologies to those that the bit bothers.
