Danny was floating, floating in a world of darkness that was both fearsome and familiar. He remembered this place from when he was 8 years old and it was the first night after his powers had come to him. He had been scared and frightened, of all the new feelings he could feel pressing in on him. His sisters squabbling over some doll. His younger brother crying to be held, his parents radiating intense feelings of love and joy and something else together that at 8 he had no idea, but at 13 oh boy he did NOT want to know anything about that.

He knew this place been, here many times before and didn't like it. It made him feel trapped, confined and enclosed to the point he would not be able to get out. His breathing started to pick up, sweat beading up on his forehead, his heart started jack hammering in his chest and he knew he was having a panic attack right now. Why was he in this place and how come he couldn't get out? Then like every other time he had ever found himself in this cold lonely dark place, a light began to shine. A light he was very familiar with as well. It always found him though it wasn't always welcome, many a time this light had come to him only to instruct him on some new skill he had to learn, he hoped that wasn't the case this time. He only wanted to go home and be with his mate and family. He wanted comfort and security not another lesson and headache.

When he actually saw Sasha coming towards him he sighed knowing what was coming and he settled down. She never came to him in her wolf form in this place unless it was lesson time, if she just wanted to pull him out of this dark place then she would send feelings for him to follow the light and return to the real world. This time she had a lesson to teach and from her body position not much time. He waited alertly for instruction knowing whatever she had to teach him he needed to learn it fast and use it quickly she hadn't come to him like this in nearly 5 years.

"My Lady what lesson do I need to learn today?" He was always polite here with her. If he wasn't he got a nip to the hip that wasn't pleasant and stayed for weeks.

She sat down in front of him cocking her head to the side for a moment. Straightening she looked directly into his eyes and showed him. A mind within a mind, a shield within a shield but also a mind shielded outside of his mind and shielded outside his shield and hidden.

His eyes widened at she showed him how to create new stronger yet more flexible shields that would bend and flex as they were pushed and pulled against. How if someone tried to break them instead they would bounce off. How to rotate them so there was no one spot they could fix on and how to keep them rotating. Then the other part of the lesson how to secure his mind behind hidden shields that kept his mind invisible to those that would want to harm him if they did break through his shields. How it would float around his core instead of being at the center of it and allowing him to spy on those that seek to do him harm.

The last thing she taught him was how to create a truly impenetrable shield but to be cautious with it. For if he had to hide himself behind it he would not be able to free himself. Only his Sentinel would have the power to do so when he came to claim him. She taught him all these lessons in an instant watching as he began to form that which she wanted him to form. He also moved quickly knowing she would not have come like this if it wasn't important.

Sasha watched as her favorite cub set to his new lessons. She truly loved the boy and was happy she had decided to become his guardian. He was so lonely growing up and no cub should be lonely. Yes, he had his family but he was the eldest, he was the responsible one, the one who had to take care of others rather then being cared for. Oh his family took care of him, ones that loving couldn't help it. But it was his job to protect like a good wolf was supposed to. It was just he needed someone watching out for him and when his powers finally freed themselves, she was quick to jump in and take over his schooling. She knew his dream job was to be a protector of his pack and a larger pack. If he was discovered with his powers at his age that dream would have been lost and a very sad heartbroken boy would grow into a resentful troublesome man. She would not let that happen, so she taught him everything he needed to know to grow in life, into the man he wanted to be. He was kind, loving, devoted to those around him, fiercely protective of them, it was right he became what he wished to be and she would always stand by his side aiding him.

That he had found his mate, his crazy impossible mate. She knew he hated to admit it to everyone let alone himself, but the way his mate complimented him in all the ways he was flawed was a gift. He needed the stability which came with having one and he needed to be powerful. He needed to be able to bring her cub out of his protective shell or he would have little in life to find enjoyment other then his own cub. Which in turn would turn him into a bitter man who only lives each day to suffer another till he could be reunited with his cub.

The tall one even now was looking for him though he was still caged. It would not take him long to break out and begin searching for his mate. The black who stands beside him was much younger then her but he was of the warrior set, he had powers he had not tapped for he had never needed to till now. He would grow into the fierce defender his companion needed as they freed themselves and began the hunt for her cub. It would be good for them to hunt together, as it would forge bonds deeper then any other, save for the mating bond her cub and the tall one would have.

For now she would teach her cub his lessons and guard him till his mate came for them. She readied her own powers for while she was not of the actual warrior set like the Black was. She was very old and very wise and very very powerful. She would see her cub safe till the defenders came and took them away from this place they were confined in.

She sat beside her cub watching as he mastered her lessons quickly. He was always a quick study knowing what she taught him would keep him safe and out of the hands of those who would harm him normally. The people who had them now wouldn't have them for very long, his mate and his companion would see to that.

"My Lady? How am I doing? Am I ready to return?" Danny was nervous he always was after a lesson, for he knew for her to teach him meant he would be using the lessons within a day, if not the hour he woke up. She cocked her head at him again and looked within finding he had mastered his lesson well. She gave a happy grin, with a wave of her tail, stood heading towards the light. Danny watched her for a moment before standing himself and following her. Whatever awaited him when he left the space he was in now, he was sure wasn't going to be pleasant.

He was right.

Chin woke slowly with a massive headache blinking to focus on something that was hovering over his face.

"Come on Cuz you've slept long enough, we have to find Steve and Danny before they blow up half of Hawaii looking for each other."

Chin blinked a few more times as Kono's face came into focus, and her words actually penetrated his foggy mind. When the importance of them hit he was already trying to scramble out of bed.

"Whoah, whoah, whoah easy there Chin I said wake up not get up. Give yourself a couple minutes then we can leave." Kono reached out to help stabilize her cousin.

"What the hell happened?" He asked as he held a hand to his head to try and rub away his headache.

Kono growled out her anger "Some assholes kidnapped Steve and Danny taking them in separate vans. The vans were stolen and abandoned in a parking garage but the security cameras had been disabled. No idea what they were transferred into next because it has 4 exits and all are busy at all times of the day."

"Damn."

"Yeah and they used knock out darts on all of us, I'm assuming the pair since they wanted them. Problem is…"

"That Steve is a partially bonded Navy Sentinel with an over protective and possessive streak bigger then the main land…"

"And he doesn't like it, when others take what he claims as his own." Kono finished

"Have you called the Governor? Let him know the situation?"

"Yep and he is already pulling money out to cover the damages. Seems he started a fund a while ago. Called it the SMDW payment plan and it has at least 5 million dollars in it already. He knows Steve will do anything to get Danny back, especially now that he knows Danny is his Guide. He's just waiting for the bills to come in."

Chin couldn't help himself he laughed even has he began climbing out of the bed.

"And where do you think you're going young man?" Asked Nurse Taya Kelly walking in and pushing Chin back in his bed.

"Taya come on we need to find Steve and Danny."

"Yes, I know you do and you will but first the doctor wants to take one last look at you. You banged your head pretty hard but then again you have a hard head." She smirked at her cousin as he grumbled but stayed put. He knew Taya would tell the rest of the family if he didn't do as she say and he wouldn't hear the end of it for months.

Taya took his vitals quickly then said. "Chin Doctor Mokea should be in here in a few minutes. Once he see's you I'm sure you can go."

"She would be correct Mr. Kelly, but let me check a couple things then you are good to go." Doctor Mokea checked his eye's, heart and lungs quickly then smiled. "Well, all seems well, I would say go home and rest but that won't happen. So instead I'm going to say don't go after anyone, without a hell of a lot of back up to do the heavy lifting."

Chin breathed a sigh that the doc wasn't being difficult.

"You're going to have a headache for a while, so come back if it gets worse but otherwise your good to go."

"Thanks Doc."

"You can thank me by getting those bastards. Call me anytime, I've switched Steve's and Danny's primary care to me with their doctors blessing."

"What? Their old doctor didn't want to deal with them?" Kono asked.

"No, he just knows I'm a bigger more stubborn bastard then he is. Plus I have a vindictive streak I'm happy to let loose, when I feel people deserve it." Now his expression was grimly gleeful. "You get those fucking assholes that took those two. If I end up having to treat the fuckers know this, if there are two ways to treat something, gentle and not so gentle, I'm going with not so gentle."

Kono and Chin grinned at the feisty doctor. "Good to know. We'll let you know when we find them." Chin stated.

"Good now get out, I have plotting to do if I ever get my hands on those bastards." With a final evil grin the doctor left.

"Go get them guys and don't be nice!" Taya followed after him.

"Let's get going cuz the sooner we find them the less damage Steve will do trying to find Danny. Hell once we do find them the Governor might even give us a vacation while the boys are getting it on."

"KONO!"

Unrepentantly Kono grinned "What it's true. Steve is going to lock Danny away for weeks till he feels comfortable letting him out of reach."

Chin looked at her but what she said was true. Steve had been pushed and kept from properly bonding with Danny long enough. This kidnapping would only push him more to find his Guide and complete the bond.

"Lets get started. Wasting time will only piss Steve off more and endanger Danny."

Leaving the hospital together the pair headed back to the 5-0 office to hunt down the senior pair.

"Why isn't he awake yet? Reports are the Sentinel is awake."

"According to medical files the Guide can be sensitive to sedatives. They used multiple darts on all of the people including him."

"So how much longer do I have to wait?"

"He was hit with three darts, the Sentinel four, it might be a few more hours. We can give him a reversal."

"A reversal? Why the hell wasn't he given one to begin with. Give it to him now."

"The side effects…"

"I don't give a damn about the side effects just give it to him. And make sure that shield generator is on. Reports said it disrupted his. I want him unbalanced for our little chat."

"Yes sir, I will let you know when he wakes."

"Good and it had better be soon."

The man in charge left storming back to his office. The other pulled out a syringe, tapped it then placed it in his arm. Only thing left to do was wait.

Danny woke very slowly as his tried to not be sick, his stomach rolled as it debated rebellion. His head had given up the fight and was simply going with a constant pounding. The Jersey man's body ached from his hair to his toenails. He hadn't felt this bad since he was 23 and had the mother of all hangovers. Trying to open his eye's, he failed when the dim light blazed in his eyes. As he continued to assess his condition, he could feel dimly the pain of his knee, and he knew he wouldn't be walking any time soon.

'What the hell happened?' Slowly his memories returned and when they did he let loose a growl that would make Steve proud.

'Ah shit kidnapped, Steve isn't going to be happy. Where the hell is he?'

He sent his thoughts out trying to fight through the pain. He couldn't send them far at this point, his head was pounding to much. But he now knew Steve was not in the same building which wasn't good. It would take time but he would find him and calm the man down enough, so hopefully he wouldn't go on a murderous rampage to get him back. Knocking the people out should be enough and a hell of a lot less paper work in the long run. For now he would focus on getting his head clear before searching the island for his Sentinel. He wasn't kidding when he said he could flatten everyone on the island if he wanted. It would cause the mother of all reaction headaches but he could do it. So sending out feelers looking for his missing half would be easier and not piss off nearly as many people.

Cracking his eye's open again he could make out simple things finally. He was strapped down in the middle of the black walled room in a leather padded chair. Straps held down his wrists, elbows, chest, shins and ankles. They must have taken pity on him a bit cause there was a cushion under his right knee but that was about it. Trying to move out of his bonds proved impossible. He was feeling to miserable and knew it would only be a matter of time before everything in his stomach came back up. There was an overhead light glaring down on him and in a corner he could see a long table next to a sink. There was also a chair next to the table. On top of the table there was another one of those shield generators.

'Great another one of those damn things and my head is already killing me.' Closing his eyes he concentrated on forming one of those new shields Sasha had taught him how to make. He formed a rotating shield, before covering it with the flexible one that could be pushed and pulled against, then finally brought up his normal shields. The throbbing in his head went down as the generator was absorbed by the various shields now up. 'Oh thank you Sasha, my head feels so much better. Now if only the rest of me felt better.'

Groaning as his stomach let itself be known that it wouldn't stay were it belonged for very long. He took deep breaths through his nose and exhaled out his mouth panting a bit. Trying to get more comfortable in the chair he felt a sharp pain, as his knee started to protest in earnest at the position it was in. It was the feeling of a fresh breeze, and the sound of a door opening that distracted Danny from the pain in his body. Looking around he could barely see over his shoulder as two men came from behind him.

The men came around his chair, one on each side and he was disgusted, yet not surprised to find they were both Guild men. One was older maybe in his 60's with greying hair around his bald dome with narrow beady eyes and a face that never smiled. The other was younger maybe mid 40's with a carefully blank expression, neither sported the emblems on their neck collars that would declare them either Sentinel or Guide.

The younger man went to the table and turned the generator up a notch putting more pressure on Danny's shields and upsetting his stomach even more. The older man stepped closer smirking down at him.

"So Guide Williams so happy to meet you finally. It seems you were under the mistaken impression, that you did not have to join the Guild and put your powers to proper use. I'm here to assess you and get you prepared for your new exciting role. But first I have some questions that need to be answered."

With a glare at the older man "I really am sorry but all questions must be passed through the 5-0 legal dept. If you would like to get in contact with them, I'm sure they would get back to you in 3 to 6 months." Snarked the blond man still trying to control his belly.

"I'm sure but I have decided to bypass them and go right to the source. You refused to come in for your proper registration, assessment and job assignment. We will now start that process. You will answer every question I ask, quickly and throughly. If you do not you will be punished till I receive the answers I want."

Danny glared at the asshole that thought he was going to tell him anything. Honestly idiots these days and this one was a big one.

"Question number one when did you first become aware of your powers? It is vitally important we know this so we can adjust the times we use for testing. Obviously we missed you and that is unacceptable, to have someone as strong as you appear to be out of our control."

"Fuck off asshole."

A sharp back handed slap was Danny's reward, sending his head reeling to the side. When Danny's head returned his eyes were closed as he concentrated on not losing his lunch, breakfast and dinner from before.

"Try again Guide, when did you realize you had your powers?" The older man snarled.

Danny ignored him in favor of trying to deal with his pounding head. Something had increased the pressure on it and he was working to reinforce his shields.

"ARE YOU LISTENING YOU MAGGOT?" Not giving the Detective time to answer he punched him in the stomach. Which caused Danny to lose what little control he had over his rebelling body and hurl right in the man's direction. Spew went flying over his uniform and boots pooling at his feet while the man snarled. "You bastard you did that on purpose." Slapping Danny one more time he move out of the way of the vomit at his feet and turned on his assistant.

"Tenderize him a bit while I clean up." Stomping to the door he left to change.

The other man looked down at the captured Guide and smiled menacingly. He was going to enjoy this.

Steve prowled around the confines of his cage sinking deeper into his instincts. He tried to pinpoint his partner, but it was hard he couldn't smell him, couldn't hear him and his other sense's were useless behind these four windowless walls. Loki stood by him waiting for the command to act. Steve knew the wolf would kill any one he asked him too, the blacks pack instincts riled as well but the Commander wanted to wait till he had a direction he could focus on. He was cautious at the moment to not get so focused he zoned out but honestly his main focus was getting Danny back. The ones that took his would pay and pay dearly. He wasn't just a Sentinel with some of the strongest senses in the world. He was a combat veteran, a Navy Seal experienced in many black op missions. He already had a plan to get him out but he needed a direction for Danny. Once he had that there would be no stopping him.

505050

Danny moaned as the hits continued to rain down on him, the Guild assistant taking extreme enjoyment from it. He could feel the bastards joy along with frustration, the asshole wanted to feel the detectives pain and suffering but his shields were holding still. Danny knew Sasha wanted to rip his throat out but Danny had her wait, preferring to have her strength nearby when his own energy would fail him. She wasn't happy but she understood.

The man pummeled his chest and face hitting hard enough to bruise but not break ribs. No sense puncturing a lung and being unable to talk. He took great delight from kicking his shins and squeezing his knee harshly. It hurt and Danny didn't bother to hide it. He needed to conserve his strength till he could search for Steve.

He heard the door open behind him and groaned again. The other bastard was back.

He came in laying down a tray of instruments and vials on the table before turning to Danny. The detective eyed him warily. "Good evening Guide enjoying your hospitality I hope?" He grinned down.

"View isn't great and your masseur really needs to work on his form." Danny spat onto the floor.

"I'm sure, so are you ready to tell me what I want to know?"

"Na I'm good, I would recommend you letting me go and booking a plane ride somewhere fast. Once Steve gets here he won't let you live."

"The Sentinel is locked up securely with no way to get loose. The room was designed to keep wayward Sentinels in there until they settled down," he waved off the concern.

Danny smirked to himself, wayward Sentinels maybe, pissed off Navy Seals who's favorite and most cherished possession was stolen not so much. He just needed to get some alone time to find him. Give him the direction he knew Steve was waiting for.

Taking a cup from the tray he poured something into it then walked to Danny, grabbing a hand full of sweat drenched hair. Pulling his hair back the other man pinched his nose shut then they waited. Danny tried to keep from opening his mouth, instead breathing through his teeth but they poured the concoction anyway. It dripped down his mouth, chin and onto his chest leaving a slimy residue behind.

"There we go only need a little of this in you. It goes a long way." He smiled down at Danny.

The Jersey man tried to spit it out but it stuck to his tongue. It tasted vile and he wished he had something to scrape it off.

"Let me explain what this does, it's a special blend I created myself. It has an inhibitor for shield making, helps to lower them and keep them lowered. Also it compels, Guides especially, to speak truth when questioned. Since you haven't been very forth coming this should help." He strode to the other chair sitting down.

"Another benefit of it is that it enhances any pain the subject is in. Drives the nerves crazy with it. Which means if you don't answer my questions, my associate here will keep at you until you do."

Danny took a deep breath through his nose, eyes closed as he tried to control his pain. He could feel it increasing.

"And to show you what I mean my friend is going to give you a demonstration."

The younger man walked to the chair he was strapped in, reaching easily for his right hand he casually broke two fingers. Danny cried out as intense waves of pain flowed through him. Seeming to last forever it took him some time to realize someone was talking to him.

"Guide Williams come back. We have much to discuss. Since you are not willing to tell us the age you discovered your powers we will move on." Inspecting his nails as he asked his next question. "No Guide or Sentinel has ever been able to properly shield or control their powers without help. I know you are the same, so I'm going to ask you now." Looking up with a serious expression on his face. "Who trained you?"

Danny glared as best he could but refused to answer. "Hmm still being stubborn? Break another couple fingers on his other hand."

The man stepped forward and did as he was told. The blond screamed in pain as they snapped. Drenched in sweat Danny didn't even try to control it as he began to heave what ever else may have been in his stomach, when done he hung his head exhausted.

"It's not time to sleep yet Guide Williams. You haven't answered a single question of mine which is very rude."

Danny didn't bother to respond instead pouring all his energy into control the pain.

"Who trained you?" Danny flinched as the man yelled right in his ear. Grabbing his head the elder man snarled at him. "Answer my question now you bastard!"

"Fine I'll tell you this much. The person who trained me is very old, very powerful and as of now hates the Guide with a raging passion."

"Where are they?" If someone as powerful as this Guide was training others to avoid their rightful duty to the Guild then he needed to capture them. "Who are they? Where do they live? Tell me or my man here will inflict more pain then you can imagine."

Coughing Danny spat out some flume. "Won't do you any good. She won't ever help you." Continuing in his own mind. 'Rip your throat out yes, help no.'

"A woman? A female taught you? Tell me who she is! Where does she live?" Danny remained silent, "Fine, work him over some more."

Turning his eyes to the other in the room they widened at the sight of brass knuckles being slipped on each hand. Next moment he was receiving punch after punch to his entire torso. When he heard the crack along with the telltale feel of breaking ribs his mind lost focus completely. Screaming till his voice was raw, he projected all his fear, pain, anger and need for help, towards the one man his own instincts were craving to protect him. Having no idea if his mate heard his sobbing plea, he gave into the pain and passed out.

"Hmm when he wakes up, we will continue."

"Yes Sir."
