TK-MR: well that's why I'm posting these lol (sorta). What can I say, Cameron turns John on lol XD.

MicroFic #25, by The Crusader
Originally posted on October 1st, 2009
The Terminators held John in the interrogation room. One Terminator restraining each arm while another got right up in his face.
"What are you doing here?"
John considered answering them for a moment, as stating that he was searching for Cameron might give him a hint as to where she was. But he knew better. He knew that they would use that against him. No, if he was going to find Cameron, he had to keep his intentions a secret.
"Were you sent here by Derek Reese?"
"Yes" John lied.
"To do what?"
"To smash you metal mother fuckers into junk."
"The General is too intelligent to risk a young child with such a dangerous mission. Unless either there are more of you out there, or, you actually are Techcom's finest. It is improbable that that is the case, but just in case, tell me your name."
"My name? Why should I give it to you?"
"If you don't will give you one."
John knew what was coming. Cameron had told him that it was the same in her timeline when she interrogated Allison. They were going to give him the tattoo now, the bar code on his arm. Instead the Terminator went over to the table and found some very strange looking surgical knives. The Terminator picked one up and pointed it at John's face.
"Your name?"
John spit on the cyborg. Just then the Terminator took the knife and began to cut into John's face. The pain was surprising to John, as he had broken ribs, pulled muscles, even been shot. But this pain for whatever reason was much worse. He tried to think about happy memories, in order to keep from giving away any information. He tried to think about when he finally found Cameron , but immediately thought about how he lost her again when she was kidnapped and brought to this Skynet Prison Camp. He tried to think about happy memories with his mother, but with everything that happened before he jumped forward in time, it was just too painful. He would have to use his imagination now. He would have to imagine seeing his mother again, and hear her apology and for one of the few times in his life her say: "You were right John." He would have to imagine seeing Cameron again, and giving her the kiss that he wanted to give her for a long time. He had to think about these things for just a little while, and then back up would arrive.
It felt like an eternity of having his face cut. But in actuality it was over very quick. His face now had a scar on his left cheek in the shape of a Y.
"From here on in, this shall be known as Prisoner 'Y.' Inform our commander that we are running out of letters and shall have to resort to numbers soon."
John's face bled badly, but he couldn't wipe the blood away. Not with the other two Terminators restraining him.
"Prisoner 'Y,' I will ask you only once. Were there more of you?"
"My name ain't prisoner 'Y.'"
"It is now."
Suddenly John had an idea. It was something that strangely enough John Henry or Cameron might have done in this situation. Despite the pain on his face, John Connor forced a smile.
"Call me by true name and I will answer any question you want. You each get three guesses."
They all called out random names but none of them came close. At times they even threw out names like "Derek Reese," or "Martin Bedell."
"Sorry, you used up all your guesses. Looks like the game is lost."
John grinned, but it faded as soon as the other Terminator held his knife up again.
"It's time for a new game, Prisoner 'Y.'"
Suddenly there was a huge crash, and several Terminators came crashing through the walls. They grabbed the Terminators holding John and pulled him away. One of the endos turned to John.
"Ms. Weaver sends her regards. And told us to make sure that you rescued Cameron while we kept the others at bay. You must make haste as Skynet's reinforcements will be here soon."
John ran all over the cell looking for Cameron. People were crying out from their cells for John to free them. He was running out of time, but he couldn't resist. He freed them all, one by one, making sure that they got out of the Prison. The entire time he got criticism from his machine allies, but at least they were helping him. Derek Reese wouldn't have lent a finger to help some new recruit find a cyborg.
Then finally John came across a deactivated Cameron, lying on the ground. He looked at her chip port and sure enough she didn't have it. John went through the entire prison looking for it, even though he knew he'd have less trouble finding a needle in haystack. That is, if haystacks are even still around.
Eventually, John found Cameron's chip in a computer room. They were apparently studying it. John took no chances and smashed all the computers so that they'd never be able to learn about Cameron.
He reactivated her, and within a second she was in his arms. The other Terminators were disassembling the endos of their defeated foes. They did not at all notice the intimate moment between Cameron and John.
Cameron felt the scar on John's face, her fingers hurt him as touched the open part of the wound. His reaction, John would have thought that it would've startled even Cameron. But it didn't. Cameron looked at that wound, and she seemed to be feeling sympathy and sadness.
"We need a medic to take care of that scar."
"Why?"
"Don't you want that scar off your face?"
"Now? No way."
"I don't understand. Humans don't like scars. Or do they?"
"Some girls find it a turn on."
Cameron tilted her head to the side.
"Some girls are attracted to guys with scars."
"I like your face with or without the scar. Whichever makes you happier."
"Sometimes a scar can be a good reminder."
"Of pain?"
"Or the good thing that the pain brought. Every time I see this weird scar, I'm gonna remember what happened today. Remember that I found you."
"Oh, thank you for explaining."
"More importantly, the scar will help me remember the day that I did this..."
He embraced and kissed her. She responded just as passionately.

A/N: Thanks for reading hope you liked it!
Before I get any messages about why they would call him prisoner 'Y'. The reason is that in T2 when we see John Connor we see this scar on the left side of his cheek and it's in sorta in a 'Y' shape, and since the challenge required us to show how he got that scar CK (The Crusader) decided to do it that way.
Also as I said before CK has started a fanfic, he doesn't know how long it will be, but what he's written so far is AWESOME!!
Please review (one word is all I ask). :D
P.S. This might be the last update in awhile since CK has been concentrating on his fic more.
