Okay, technically she just kind of grabbed him, pushed him to the ground, twisted his arms all up behind his back and sat on him. Sam apologized profusely afterwards. Daniel doesn’t even remember why she did it – ok, he does: he was trying to go somewhere and do something. It probably involved trying to go talk to the formerly friendly natives who were at the moment chucking primitive and yet extremely explosive grenades at SG-1.
The path to the Gate turned into a scene resembling the Normandy Beach landing, and Daniel and Sam ended up separated from Jack and Teal’c, hiding behind the stone henges that surrounded the DHD.
It was one of those early missions that well and truly sucked, with an undetected Goa’uld and his Jaffa showing up to supplement those old-fashioned grenades.
The henges provided decent cover for a while, though it was still early enough that Daniel’s heart throbbed at every rock that shattered in the crossfire. And then he nearly took a face full of BANG and his vision filled with rock splinters flying everywhere. His ears rang and every time he blinked a solid white curtain covered his eyes. Apparently, he was standing dazedly out in the open and the only reason he didn’t get a secondary hit or a staff blast was Sam diving out of her shelter and pulling him down.
At which point Daniel decided that this was a horrible misunderstanding and that he had to go talk to the chiefs and get them to stop. He was also, Sam liked to point out after the fact, impressively concussed and yet still conscious, and completely deaf to the screams of his entire team to stay down and out of the way of the flying staff blasts.
Jack evidently gave Sam a direct order to “keep him down” – though it was all blaring silence to Daniel.
And she did – despite the gushing shoulder would and the shrapnel his close call had lodged in her back – she dropped her P-90, forced Daniel to the ground and made him stay there.
This is where Daniel’s memory stops, but he’s told that getting him through the gate required similar police-style restraint, such that when the team stumbled into the Gateroom, the SFs thought he’d been snaked.
Jack and Teal’c didn’t see the big deal. Sam, bless her heart, totally did. Or at least the more obvious deal. She apologized again and again, repeatedly offering him the excuse that he was too shell-shocked out of his mind to react normally. Which was why she had to take him down in the first place, of course, but it didn’t mean he had to buy it. Other than really poor decision making, temporary deafness, and a lunar eclipse singularly located behind his eyelids, Daniel hadn’t actually felt that different. And he remembered offering feeble resistance, which was why Sam locked his arms up.
Daniel was never an athlete. He took a general martial arts class in college as an easy credit and that was his only training til he showed up on SG-1. And he was an enlightened and educated man. There was absolutely no reason getting his ass whooped by a girl should sting this much.
