A Meeting Of Opposites

Hey guys. Well here's something that's been playing on my mind for a few days now, well ever since I started watching Prison Break and then started wondering how similar two of the characters were in there to jate. That's right I'm talking about Misa (Michael + Sarah). I was actually talking about it to a friend last night and she was partly the reason that I found the will to attempt something like this. If you guys don't know what I'm on about then don't worry, just enjoy, and this will actually be a Two - shot, that's if you guys like this chapter ;)

Summary : What happens when a Doctor and a Prisoner find out that they share something in common, despite the situation of their current predicament, or more so Kate's………

Disclaimer : Sadly I do not own lost or any of it's characters, especially Jack and Kate, so we might have to wait a little longer for any kind of real Jate to happen on the show.

Enjoy

"Your Mamma gave you up Katie, she gave you up because she knew what you were, by getting rid of the one thing she loved. You're a killer!!" The Marshall breathed out venomously into the slightly struggling brunette's ear.

This was it, she said to herself as she was roughly escorted into the uniformed car by not only the Marshall, but the two other man who were dressed quite casually at the moment, but it was a cover to play her, and in the end it had worked like a charm much to her unluckiness.

The whole ride to the place she knew she would be residing in for a long, long time was spent in complete silence, mainly cause she was consumed within her thoughts most of the time. Thinking of some way to get out of this, but the more she took in her present surroundings, the more she felt her hope slipping away, and along with that the will to try and even make amends for what she did, was officially gone because she really couldn't find the will or determination to do so anymore. It wouldn't change anything.

Half an hour later and the car she was in moved through the over head sign labelled "Fox Rivers Penitentiary", and with seeing that she let out a lingering sigh, a clear enough gesture to express the gloom and stress she was currently feeling.

"So how you feeling?" the Marshall daringly asked while placing his mouth inches away from her ear, and all she could do in response was shiver in fear and along with feeling that, a strengthened sense of loathing developed, and in that very second she decided to channel it through her voice.

"Like you give a crap!!" she hissed out while glaring at him from her side, and what annoyed her even more was the fact that he just laughed bitterly in her face, and soon her emotional resolve got the better of her in response, but hell would literally freeze over before she showed it to anyone but herself. So from there on she just kept her head down in a gesture of obvious shame, especially when she was finally escorted out of the car and into the murky, but fairly noticeable entrance of her new home. A place she never thought she would be seeing or living within in a million years, but now here she was alone and guilty of a crime she would have never committed if she wasn't forced to do it in the first place.

(Meanwhile)

"So are you sure about this man?" a man dressed in pale white scrubs asked the other man standing across from him who just stood there nervously in his casual wear, honestly waiting to be told what to do next despite the fact that he was still working in a similar environment to where he was working previously, for the last 8 years to be exact, ever since his Father had literally dragged him down there to work alongside with him.

"Yeah…..I think it's just better this way." the man replied while also remembering the actual reason he had applied for a job like this. To not only get away from the madness and stress of his previous office hours back at the Hospital, but to also get away from his Father. A man he knew cared about no one else but his reputation as the lead Chief of Surgery in the Country. A title he worked leg and limb to maintain, even if it meant sacrificing the other things in life, like his own family.

"Yeah I bet it is. Plus we know how much Jack Shepherd likes his own space, so we're really hitting two birds with one stone here eh…" the shorter man joked while patting the taller man on the back in a friendly manner, and with a brief good luck mouthed, he was off to go handle the daily heap full of patients they already had coming into the infirmary.

(Meanwhile - a few feet away)

"Open up!" the guard shouted out as he stood in front of what seemed to be a vacant cell, well according to the brunette who was forced to stand alongside the guard while trying to hold the clothes she was given.

A few seconds later and the barred wall to the cell opened up exposing it's displeasing depths, and it was only then that the brunette saw some movement in there other than hers and the guard's, and before she had the time to decipher it's identity, she was forcefully shoved in by the guard and then left alone to decide her next move.

"Don't move." the unknown voice suddenly spoke out to the brunette as she made the move to climb onto the top bunk.

"I SAID DON'T FUCKING MOVE!!" the voice then opted to scream out, not only in an attempt to be noticed, but to also get through to the more than stubborn brunette.

"So is there a face to go with that foul mouth!!" the brunette shot back, and within seconds of the words coming out of her mouth, she then found a fist making it's way towards that very area, but she managed to dodge it's mind blowing path at the last minute thanks to her very own experience of dealing with Wayne.

"Ahhh you bitch!!" the voice screamed out in anguish as their fist connected with the hard metal bar that supported the frame of the bunk bed. As soon as that happened, the brunette was off the floor in seconds trying to get a hold over this person so that she could come out with a better outcome in the end, but much to her bad luck this person just turned more wild with rage as the brunette tried to retaliate.

"What the hell is your problem…." Kate screamed out as she managed to finally get a good grip on the person and then slam them against the bunk bed.

"Well……" the voice in front of her spoke out right before they just turned around and attempted to punch the person behind them straight in the face, this time meeting their target and forcing them to just hunch in obvious pain, and the blood currently spilling out of the brunette's nose was enough to make it look serious, but her opponent didn't really see it in the same light, and with that they opted to continue with the beating while saying……….

"This cell is only made for one not two alright, so you better get out before it's too late." the voice behind the injured brunette spoke out, and this time the person behind the brunette played the role of the surprised person once they received an elbow in their face, knocking them back of their balance, and the leg also coming in the way was enough to completely knock the person off their feet, giving the brunette the upper hand once again and as she was about to start to be the one now throwing the verbal and physical punches, she was stopped halfway by the patrolling guard outside shouting out her name in an accusing tone, and once he saw the seriousness of the situation, he called for one of the other guards for assistance, and once he received it, both prisoners were then escorted and virtually dragged off within the growing crowd of cheering women who were clearly wishing to have been there for the whole show.

"Just keep that on for the next week or so and if it doesn't subside, then come back and see me." the man in the white starch coat instructed of his present patient in a more than expected clinical manner. One that the prisoner just huffed at in response, and with that he was off while reluctantly following the Doctor's orders, and he knew that he would have to because it would hurt like hell if he didn't.

"We got another one man, and this one's fairly serious." the man in scrubs expressed to the Doctor, and within seconds of him saying it, the very patient he was talking about was then brought through the doors by two guards and all the man across from them could do was temporarily freeze himself at the tragic scene in front of him, but soon enough he snapped himself out of it, much to the verbal help of his friend still standing at the doorway.

"Okay just sit her there….." the Doctor instructed of the two guards and they complied straight away, while the working man went about retrieving the necessary requirements to treat the present patient's condition, starting with controlling the rapid and vast amount of blood literally squirting out from the top of her nose, and along with that he could see a slight swelling starting to form on the area as well, but that wasn't the thing that momentarily worried him the most. What bothered him was the kind of nonchalant way she was behaving about everything around her, and he immediately felt disheartened for her. How can someone who looked like her be so emotionally and physically conflicted?, he asked himself as he just stood there looking intensely at her shamed expression.

"Doctor?" one of the guards asked in all curiousness, and when the man failed to respond at first, the others in the room started to join in on the moment, including the bleeding brunette who then gradually took her time to gaze at the scene in front of her. Her first initial thought of him was, he didn't belong here!! She couldn't seem to explain why, but her mind just kept on saying that.

"Doctor?" the guard repeated again, this time with a louder tone in his voice, and as a result of it everyone in the room snapped back to reality, as well as the brunette who started to slowly whimper in the pain she suddenly realized having and couldn't seem to control, and along with that she started to feel slightly faint, and before she could take the time to blink, she found herself being welcomed into a never ending blackness and the only thing she could hear before she went was his voice calling out to her in what seemed like desperation.

Hours later and she was slowly and finally opening her eyes, and this time all she could see and hear was the man opposite her in a starch white coat working on something she couldn't seem to figure out, due to the fact that his back was turned to her, but as she let out a cough she could barley keep in, he stiffened right away and then turned around to face her form.

"Hey." was all the man said while putting down the charts he was looking at not so long ago.

"What happened?" the brunette opted to ask of him instead and somehow that managed to elicit a slight chuckle from him.

"What?" she moaned out while soothing the gathering headache she was experiencing at the moment, and as her fingers travelled lower, they suddenly stopped at the slight bump on her nose which was now stitched and bandaged up by who she could assume was the person looking at her at this very moment, a slight smile still adorning his features, but as she faced him with a serious and slightly tormented gaze, he immediately coughed to himself and then went back into serious mode.

"Well you did lose a lot of blood when you first came here and…." he started off but he was suddenly distracted by a slight mumbling coming from the brunette, and he was suddenly he was consumed with the curiosity to find out just what she had said.

"I'm sorry what?" he simply asked of her while trying to bite back a smile at the look of surprise and shame on her face right now.

"Nothing." she mumbled yet again and this time she reddened further when she now saw the Doctor moving towards her direction. When he was right in front of her, he sat at the foot of her bed and then chose to look at her in a way she couldn't seem to understand. After a few more minutes of doing that, he then got off the bed and moved himself up to her face where he could get a better look at the state of the patched up wound, but before he did, he looked her in the eye while asking something he had never asked any patient in all his years of practicing medicine.

"Can I?" he softly asked of her, his breath gently blowing against her face, and for a brief second she just closed her eyes to relish in the sudden feel of calm and comfort she felt washing over her, but soon the sound of his voice brought her out of it, and in an attempt to hide what she was weirdly feeling all of a sudden, she just nodded wordlessly in an agreeing manner, and with that he went about with making his usual check up of firstly making sure that the stitches were held in tight enough, and then securing the band aid which covered it.

"Well everything looks good. Just don't start any fights any time soon." he joked with her, but the immediate look of annoyance he got in return was enough to wipe the smile from his face almost immediately as it had appeared, and all he felt he could do was mutter an apology he hoped she had heard.

"Okay so are we done here?" the brunette grumbled while trying her best to avert her gaze away from his truly concerned one, especially when he saw a few stray tears making their way down her sunken face.

"Hey, do you wanna talk about it?" he softly asked of her while making the initial move to place his hand on her shoulder, but as her gaze lifted to meet his, he quickly shoved his hand into his pocket to cover up any sign of the physical sentiment he was about to offer her.

"You a Shrink as well?" she asked while letting out a huff along with the smirk that now adorned her freckled features, he now noticed as he took the time to now gaze at the other elements of her.

"No, but I can be a friend if you want, and remember whatever is said here strictly goes under the whole Doctor, patient confidentiality clause." he expressed while offering her a wink and smile at the last part, and this time she couldn't help but hang her head and briefly smile to herself.

"Okay I will, but on one condition." the brunette offered once she faced him again, and all he could do was raise his eyebrows in anticipation of what she was gonna ask.

"What's that then?" was all the man then inquired of the brunette in front of him, and what came out of her mouth next was enough to make his eyes widen a lot more than they normally would.

There it is guys. Now can you guess what most of the second chapter will contain, hehe. So what do you think guys, would you like another??
