Disclaimer:

I do not own Farscape, we all know who does, the peacekeepers! No not really, but it's not me that is for sure. This is for fun and fun only.

Summary:

Reboot, original was a big mess. John Crichton did not leave the shadow depository with the crew of Moya. The neural probe in his brain instead sends him back to Scorpius who takes him to his command carrier.

So this is going to be violent, trippy, and all that goodness that Farscape is known for. Scorpius is complicated that we know, he thinks he is good but his actions, well they state otherwise. Mature themes but mostly talk only!

Chapter One:

Scorpius was impressed by this human, he fought very hard to gain his freedom and had lasted far longer than he expected. He reminded him of himself in many ways. But no matter, he was going to have to punish him once they got to his command carrier. Helping destroy a depository no matter who it was for, well, that would be punished. John Crichton the human, he looked more Sebacean than he ever would be, what females would call good looking, brown hair, blue eyes, tanned skin. Yet he was not human, not from the scans done, mostly but not, he could handle heat with no problem. Yet now he was standing calmly, he threw his weapon away and waited, Scorpius growled and walked up to his captive.

"I believe it is time to go." Scorpius said.

"I recon so." Crichton replied.

"You know we don't have to be enemies, "Scorpius said, "fighting me has not done you any good."

"Yea well maybe if you had not stuck something in my head I would not have a need to fight back!" Crichton shot back.

"Let's go John."

Scorpius put binders on Crichton's hands and grabbed him by the coat dragging him out to his transport. He shoved him into a chair with Lt. Braca standing guard. Crichton knew he was in deep trouble, but at least Jothee was safe with his father once more. That helped Crichton as he was able to save one person even if it was not himself. That and the heist was a success, the crew of Moya would not suffer want again which was good. At least Harvey was quiet now and Crichton could rest for a time. He woke to being drug to his feet by Braca who shoved him off the transport into a large hanger. He was taken deep into the carrier and forced to his knees.

"I think it is time I remove the chip." Scorpius said getting close to his ear, "this is going to hurt."

"Yea, looking at you hurts more." Crichton shot back.

"I have a Diagnosan who will remove the chip, he is not Tocot but he was not available so second best it is." Scorpius said.

"Hey Scorpy I am kinda hurt you would skimp like this." Crichton replied.

"Well Tocot seems to be busy." Scorpius said, "Braca it is time."

"Yes sir, glad to shut him up sir." Braca replied.

Crichton felt a needle go into his neck and his last thought for a time was "I am so frelling screwed". Then his world went black, he woke on his back unable to move for the moment. He opened his eyes and realized his shirt was gone, oh this was not good. Where were the Vian at? No that face was far too ugly, just Scorpius, and he was alive, well that was good, or maybe not. His head hurt but felt freer and now he could move. He sat up and found he was clad only in his shorts. Oh that was uncomfortable.

"If this is hell, this looks about right." Crichton said, "where are my clothes?"

"The removal was a success John, and be grateful you are still alive." Scorpius said.

"Yea and in the presences of Bram Stoker's nightmare." Crichton shot back, "so when do you kill me?"

"I don't, your death would mean nothing to me." Scorpius replied, "I don't kill unless it is for a good reason."

"Yea, well I am not interested in you." Crichton said.

"You would think I would do that sort of thing, but consider how I was conceived, in rape, and you are not my type anyway, I prefer female."

"Yea I don't want to know, really don't." Crichton shot back.

"Grazya is not, well she is really not what peacekeepers should be about." Scorpius said, "you may not believe it but I am trying to protect you, from those like her."

"Yea I don't like your kind of protection, all I want is to go home, that is it. I am tired of being chased around the universe, experimented on and used as your personal punching bag. I don't give a damn about your revenge or the peacekeepers or anything you rapist freak!"

"Braca, bring me the web." Scorpius said, "now."
"Yes sir." Braca replied.

Crichton found himself on his stomach, struggling to breath. Scorpius really must not have liked that last little bit he had said. He tried to fight back but was unable to, Scorpius was holding him down growling at him. He was hit several times and he swore at Scorpius. Then he was let go and knew things were going to take a turn for the worst. Braca was back and handed something to Scorpius that Crichton was not going to like at all. Braca stepped to the wall and pressed a button and then stood waiting.

"There are many things I will tolerate John, but calling me a rapist, well that will not do." Scorpius said, "I have never taken anyone against their will and always let them…"

"I really don't want to hear this!" Crichton shot back.

"You will understand I am only trying to save your life, in due time you will understand that." Scorpius said, "Braca is my witness that I will do what it takes to get you in line."

"Frell off!" Crichton said.

Braca stood at attention, he knew what was coming, Scorpius was fair, he rarely used torture and it was rare he even killed anyone. Yes, he was depraved and yes he tortured those that were not peacekeepers, but all in all he was as fair and good a commanding officer as one could get. Braca did not see why this human was still alive, though Scorpius had his reasons. He did not react as Crichton was tortured, he had felt this before, but never under Scorpius, Scorpius words were far worse. After about ten minutes Scorpius stepped back from Crichton who was trembling in pain, the web left no physical evidence but it did leave nerves feeling rather worse for wear.

"I will need to work on the wormhole technology." Scorpius said, "he is yours for now, but he is not to be harmed, tortured or killed."

"Yes sir, where should I take him?" Braca asked.

"Here is fine, I am sure you can handle him." Scorpius said. "Do behave John, or there will be worse for you."

"Frell you, you freak!" Crichton shot back.

Scorpius left and Crichton looked up as Braca walked over, he expected to get hit but he saw a flicker of respect in the peacekeeper's eyes. He tensed as Braca took out something and injected him, at once the pain was gone. Then Braca walked to a locker and took out some times and put them on a chair near Crichton. Crichton sat up and saw that they were his clothes. He got dressed quickly and wondered what Braca was all about.

"He is not bad, despite what you think." Braca said, "he could do terrible things to you, far worse than he has. Believe me when I say he is merciful."

"Yea right, I don't call having my mind probed merciful!" Crichton shot back.

"You did break onto his base, he could have had you killed first, and even now he refuses." Braca said.

"Oh and that should make me feel better." Crichton replied.

"Yes, he has been far better to you than you know." Braca said, "he is good to those who serve with him, he allows us to learn and grow. He does care about us, and he will ride the galaxy of the Scarran threat."

"And then what? What comes next? Universal domination?" Crichton said, "I see what peacekeepers are, how all you are all you do is sell yourselves to the highest bidder."

"We are not all like that." Braca said, "Scorpius is not."

"Wow he has a real fan in you." Crichton said.

Crichton walked to the window and looked out on space it was beautiful and he could grow to love this. But from his own home world so far, far away. He had been through so much, and more so in the past few days, he hoped that his friends had got away free and clear. That they had the money they needed to free the slaves, slavery was something he hated, more so as an American and here the peacekeepers did not even try to stop the act. Some group of unity. He turned as the door opened and a young female peacekeeper entered the chamber with food for two and set the table.

"Come, eat." Braca said, "I may not like you but I will not starve you."

"You could just poison me." Crichton shot back, he was hungry though and took a seat, "so if it were up to you, would you have me killed?"

"No." Braca replied, "you don't belong here, you did not come willingly, but I will not let you walk free either."

"You got the did not come out here willingly." Crichton said.

He ate and found the food was decent and there was plenty of it. He felt badly, had he betrayed his own world? What would Scorpius do now that he probably was going to get the wormhole technology? He hoped he would not go after earth, but Crichton knew the implant had forced him to return to Scorpius, that he had been close to getting back to his friends. Now that was not going to happen and gaining his freedom was looking less and less likely as was going home.

Everything from what happened at the shadow depository in season two happened, accept Crichton was not able to get away due to the neural device. Yes he is at the mercy of Scorpius but Scorpius sees him more as the one to get him the wormhole technology. Braca I made more relatable, more as someone who does see the bigger picture. We know Scorpius tastes but he is not like Grazya and we all know what she is like, pure evil compared to Scorpius.

Anyway rebooted, better (I hope) and it should start making more sense.

Do review please!
