Death of the Sith

Chapter 4: A Jedi Family After All

Before Brandon broke off from the Force in communicating with Nomi, he realized that his mother understood everything he said. He was not astonished one bit about it. After the attack on the Death Star and all the rest, he did not think to question his mother on this issue. He could not find the right time to spend time with her to discuss this further. Since his mother's skills have been improving, he thought he must talk to her about this. For the time being, he wanted to talk with Ben and Jack about it.

When he finished, Ben said, "To be honest with you, I'm not surprised. I've always wondered how both Grammy and Dee weren't able to use the Force. I wonder what Dee can do?"

"It is possible Jerry can't use it, but I wouldn't bet on it. Brandon, since you're so strong with it, both of your parents must have some ability." Jack said.

"I have not seen dad do anything out of the ordinary as I have with my mother."

"Master, did you not state that if you weren't looking at her at the time you wouldn't have noticed it?" Lucy asked.

He showed a perplexed look on his face, "That is true. I wonder how powerful I would be if they did not find me in Atlanta. If I never knew that I could use it and was at her age, would I be as powerful as I am now?"

"I think you would. They can train many people on Earth as Jedi that are older than you were when you started. From reading on the old Jedi way of doing things, I wonder if anyone is too old to start their training? I don't know, but it could be possible that your mother can become one even at her age. The only thing that will keep her from being trained to her potential is your mother. There have been a good many that can use the Force here on Earth and simply don't want to be a Jedi Knight." Tim answered.

Jack commented, "It is up to you and your parents to decide. The rest of us will support whatever decisions you all make. Sam and I think you are family to us. We will do anything and everything for you all."

"First thing I need to do is have a long talk with my mother. I would like to know all the things she has done with the Force if she realized it or not. The more I learn from what she can do, it will show how good her skills are with the Force if she wants to be a Jedi or not."

Lucy smiled, "If I know them right, they're more concerned with getting this wedding on the way, so you two can get married."

"I cannot wait either. The two of us fell in love. It has been growing ever since."

Lucy joked with him, "Really!? I haven't noticed."

He replied with a large smile, "You have been with my Master too long. You are being a smartypants, like her."

They both laughed.

At the SGC, Teal'c and Master Bra'tac talked over the events they told at the White House. Master Bra'tac said, "My dear friend ever since you left to be with the SG1 on Earth, I knew it meant you to be with them. I didn't realize the outcome."

Teal'c smiled at his master, "Neither did I. Ever since I heard that the Tok'ra of today were the descendants of the ancient Jedi, I knew that it meant me to be a part of what is going on. I will rejoice with Earth and the Jedi Knights once Emperor Palpatine is out for good."

"These past years have been very interesting. I can't wait to take part in finding these other cities of the Jedi. I can't wait to see what wonders await for all of us. All of this makes me feel as young as I was a long time ago."

He gave his master and dear friend a big warm smile. He also shared his views. "It will be great to be a part of a noble adventure in finding all these ancient cities." At that moment, he frowned.
