OK, here's chapter 4 up. Would have been posted 48 hours ago but was having technical problems! Let me know how its going.

Kara once more wondered exactly what it was she had done to piss off the Gods. As she lay trussed up, helpless on the floor she gazed up at her own personal nightmare, at the Cylon who had beaten the crap out of her and was instrumental in whatever happened to her down on Caprica. The tall, ice cold blond bitch who she'd already killed one version of and brained another during her escape from the Cylon prison. And now, here she was again.

Un-fracking-believable.

And yet Kara had seen another version of this model, not so blond this time, and certainly no where near as intimidating. In fact the one called Gina was downright pathetic lying unresponsive in the brig of Pegasus, even in the face of Admiral Cain's wrath as she had shown Kara what happened to those who betrayed her. At the time she remembered wondering just how close the Admiral had been to the Cylon, the hate seemed altogether too personal. But, she was in no position to question it, and could only stare in pity at the wreck on the floor.

Once again she found herself torn between hatred towards all of the murderous Cylons and a deep sense that was happening was wrong. Her experience with Leobon and the fake Sharon had made her see the Cylons as more than toasters, how could she reconcile her military instincts to get information at any cost, it was only a machine after all, with her human response to another person in despair. She still hadn't decided whether she agreed with what had happened to Gina when she'd been whisked away by the Admiral.

Now, as the blond Cylon stalked over to her she schooled her expression into one of indifference, vowing to herself not to let them see her fear.

Six stopped in front of Kara, smirked at her and unleashed a ferocious kick into her stomach. Before she could regain her breath she was pulled up from the floor and pushed down onto an unforgiving metal chair. Leobon was seated opposite her, behind the table, the symmetry of their first meeting was not lost on Kara, nor on him as he smiled at her.

Her eyes slid away, unwilling to let him see him unsettle her, she turned her head to see where Six was and immediately regretted it as the Cylon lightning quick slammed her face down over the desk in front of her, holding her down bodily, her forearm across Kara's shoulders, one hand buried in her hair, pulling her head back as she hissed into ear "Don't test me little girl, you don't move, you don't speak unless we tell you to. You wanna play then we will, but you wont like my rules. You hear me?"

Kara remained silent but struggled against the hold despite being shackled, until Six slammed her head down onto the desk.

"I said, do you hear me?"

Blood dripping down from the newly inflicted cut above her eye, Kara's internal battle raged but sense won out, there was no point being knocked senseless just yet. Grudgingly, and with the most vitriol she could muster she answered.

"Sure, I hear you."

It was a full minute of silence before Six let her up and slammed her back down onto the chair, this time looping her shackled arms over the back. And this time when the blond Cylon moved behind her, Kara resisted the urge to turn and watch. Facing forward, Leobon stared at her, silent, just staring.

Minutes passed, Kara guessed they were waiting to see if she spoke without permission, and much as she wanted to she wouldn't give them the satisfaction, so she stared back at him, her trademark smirk in place, masking her apprehension.

Finally, he spoke.

"I had such high hopes for you Starbuck. I really felt we connected the last time we met. You saw me for who I was, not what I was." He watched as she shook her head. "No, don't deny it, we both know you watched me spaced then prayed for my soul. Quite amazing considering you told me toasters don't have souls, don't you think?".

She said nothing.

"You know you're special Kara. As I told you before this has happened before, and it will again. I've seen your destiny, there's no way around what's going to happen, you're going to get more than a few slaps and a bucket of water. Believe me, you'll be begging to be put out of the airlock long before we've finished with you." He almost looked sorry for her as he saw her façade crack for just a split second before she spoke.

"Look, its really great to catch up like this but lets cut the crap, I'm not gonna give you whatever information it is you want from me. Do what the frak you want, its not gonna make any difference. You may as well drop me back at the Pegasus now and we'll forget this ever happened."

Six laughed behind her, pacing as she spoke. "Oh Starbuck, you really have no idea do you. You're not here for your information, we have plenty of sources in the Fleet. You're not even her for personal revenge, though I admit I will take some pleasure from your agony." She stopped her pacing, wrapped a hand around Kara's throat, just resting there to show the power she held over her and lent down next to her ear, the silky voice slowly spelling out the Cylons intentions.

"You are the sacrificial lamb. The blond haired, wide eyed, top gun, darling of the Fleet. The Commanders pet, the Presidents go-to girl. The legend in her own time. You, poor little Starbuck, are going to be the straw that broke the Fleet's back. Your people are going to see you beaten, broken, crawling and begging for your life."

She paused, swinging around Kara's side so she could watch the effect her words were having on her victim.

"And you know what, we're not doing anything your people haven't done to us first. We're going to do to you what your crew did to our sister on the Pegasus, sanctioned by your leaders."

Kara started to object, Adama and Roslin had nothing to do with it, but the pressure on her throat increased to stop her voice, the blond Cylon continuing, her voice beginning to waver in anger. And even though Kara was not liking where this was going and was beginning to feel utter panic, she took a moment to once again marvel that a toaster had emotions.

"Every punch, every kick, every burn, every welt, all the cold, the hunger, the exhaustion she was subjected to, that's what you're going to live with little girl.." her eyes narrowed, her voice dropped dangerously "…and much as I abhor it, you are not going to get away without being taken, in every way possible, by some of the most brutal men I could find."

She smiled as Kara's eyes went wide, the threat of gang-rape clearly having the desired effect on her. She continued as Kara failed to stop her terror playing over her expressive face.

"You really are special, how does it feel to have such a painful destiny, pre-ordained, yet you were even prepared for this in childhood, all your suffering has led you to this point. After all, to break a normal human wouldn't have the same effect as destroying the mighty Starbuck. You will resist, I can see it in your eyes, you think you've faced pain before. But you're wrong little girl, you can't imagine the things we're going to do to you. Remember, you really are human, and Gina, much as she suffered, is not. You, Starbuck, have no choice but to suffer, to scream, to bleed, and to break."

Leobon watched as Six played the human like a fine violin, saw as Kara tried so hard to appear nonchalant but unable to stop the hate flash across her eyes as her childhood was once again used against her before being chased away by intense personal fear at the relentless threat of prolonged torture. Six removed her hand and lent in close, invading Kara's personal space to deliver the final blow.

"There is no way out, no escape, no rescue, no end. No one knows where you are, they will not find you. You are ours now, no longer a person, but a thing to be used as we see fit. And even better, you are going to be a star, the focus of your very own broadcast. Every vessel in the fleet will watch you suffer, watch your every humiliation, watch you break. And not one person can condemn what we will do, or else they condemn what your leaders do."

Kara didn't want to hear anymore. She felt terror like never before, even if by some miracle Lee had found her and was on his way right now she knew she wouldn't escape without at least a few hours of misery and hurt. She fell back on the only way she knew to combat her own fears, she decided to fight back, just like she always did with her mother. So, knowing she was likely to bleed from the repercussions but uncaring so long as she got in one good shot, she made her move.

Flashing a smile that said 'bite me' she slammed her head forwards with as much force as she could, head butting the Cylon back onto her ass. Within a flash Leobon came from around the desk, Six rose from the floor, they communicated wordlessly before Leobon punched Kara across her right temple, her head snapping to the left where Six punched her back across towards Leobon. He grabbed her shoulders and simultaneously pulled her upper body down as he brought his knee up and crashed it into her nose sending her and the chair flying backwards landing on her pinioned arms. Tears sprang to her eyes, pain exploded in her head and blood sprayed down her shirt.

"Ok Starbuck, you're in such a hurry to hurt, we can do that, no more talking, lets get on with it. And don't forget to smile for the camera, bitch".
