Crossover: Children of Fire AU
"He needs to know." Aaron looks between General O'Neill and the others gathered in the room, letting his attention settle on Doctor Jackson as the one most likely to listen. "And you owe him that much courtesy."
Jackson grimaces a little, looking over at Teal'c briefly before looking back at Aaron. "If he's the same person who he was when she married him..."
"He is." Aaron is aware of the stir that causes, but he keeps his attention focused on Jackson. "Have you asked him how old he is?"
"He won't answer any questions." Jackson frowns, his brow furrowing in genuine puzzlement. "How do you know he's the same person he was then?"
"I've worked with him for a long time, and trust me when I say there hasn't been an abrupt change in the behavior and personality of David Rossi." There has been a new person brought into the team dynamic, but Dave is the same. Of that much, Aaron is certain.
O'Neill snorts. "The goa'uld have been known to mimic the people they take over, to keep everyone around them off balance."
"You're assuming one person would be able to completely mimic another, down to the smallest detail, without losing their own identity in the process, General, and unless you have proof of that, I'm not going to take your word that David Rossi is not the same man I worked with when I started at the BAU."
"Hotch. General." JJ draws their attention, a stressed smile briefly crossing her face. "Regardless of who Agent Rossi is or is not, we still have the request of a dying woman to tell him what is happening to her. And maybe that can settle some of those questions that haven't been asked, or answered."
