The chalk felt gritty under his fingers as he moved through the motions, translating the very badly done Linear B by rote. Daniel muttered to himself as he worked through the hieroglyphics. Linear B was almost more familiar to him than English, so most of his attention was firmly elsewhere as he wrote the last word. Whatever a ‘Stargate’ was, it seemed to have electrified the people around him.
“Hey, Bob,” Tony called as he started emptying his pockets into one of the many small bowls in front of the metal detector after putting his laptop and coffee on the conveyer belt for the x-ray machine. He looked at the pile of bits and bobs he’d deposited. “How in the hell do I have so much crap in my pockets?”
Jack sat back and watched as Sheppard was raked over the coals for his debrief. Every single person in the room had an ax to grind, including him. Rocking back and forth in his chair, he saw Sheppard’s eyes flick to him and then return to stare at the man asking him the latest question.
“Everyone, freeze!”
“What?”
“What’s going on?”
“I said, freeze,” the doctor in charge of the triage case barked out.
“The President wants to meet you,” Jack said when Tony picked up the phone.
“Say what?” Tony asked. He sounded very confused and distracted. Jack could hear the sounds of his lover typing on a keyboard and he held his peace as the sounds got more intense before they cut off. “Okay. My report is officially finished. What did you just say?”
Jack smirked and repeated himself. “The President wants to meet you.”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought you said,” Tony said with a sigh.

The afterglow had barely faded when the watch on his wrist started to buzz against his skin. Jack tried to casually glance at it without drawing too much attention to his actions. From the small huff Tony let out, he wasn’t successful.
“It’s cute that you still try to get stuff past me,” Tony muttered into his pillow. He pushed up and stared at Jack. “Also, that’s a very Dick Tracy kind of watch you’ve got. Better find out what’s going on. You know they won’t stop calling.”

“Right. I’m going to blow up the don’t ask thing,” Alec said. He walked up behind Tony and hooked one arm around his waist. “How old are you?”
“Old,” Tony admitted. He leaned into the were for several seconds before he straightened slightly. He had no idea if one of docents would get perturbed if they acted like cooing lovers, but honestly, they were in public and he didn’t have it in him to be too soppy in front of everyone. “The first queen I met when I came to live in England was Old Queen Bess. She was… impressive and very pragmatic. I learned a great deal from her and her court.”
