This chapter is really the Fifth one. There is a story I started about how Bashir ended up in that detainment camp in the fifth season that I can't find right now. When I find it I'll put it up.

Mean Things I've Done To Dr. Julian Bashir (or Sue's Revenge)

This Chapter is kind of my working a few things more recent out and makes no sense at all.

Sarina Douglas had spent most of her life in a prison made of her own body. Julian had set her free from that prison, but when the world got to be to much to handle she was able to retreat back into her own mind. Some might find that to be a curse, but right now it was a gift. A gift she was able to give to those who had been closest to her in life, because whether she cooperated with her captors or not she fully expected to die.

Captain Kira Nerys looked Lt. Commander Zel Andrus in the eye with anger and threw the padd he had brought on her desk. "I may have no choice but to go along with these orders, but that doesn't mean I have to like them, or you for that matter Commander."
"Admiral Nechayev was very clear Captain." Andrus said with a poker face.
Commander Elias Vaughn put a hand on Kira's shoulder. "Captain, I've known Admiral Nechayev for some time," he said, "and if she thinks this is necessary she has good reason."
Kira turned back to Andrus and tried to size him up. He was a short man. Easily half of Vaughn's hundred plus years. With thinning white hair and dark eyes that spoke volumes and hide everything at the same time. She took a breath, "Computer located Dr. Bashir."
"Dr. Bashir is in the infirmary."
"Is there anyone else in the infirmary?" Kira asked.
"There are two other officers in the infirmary besides Dr. Bashir."
"Computer please identify the other officers in the infirmary?" asked Kira.
"Dr. Simon Tarses, and Nurse Sejax Amrid."
"Now would be the best time Captain" said Andrus.
Vaughn nodded agreement.
Kira slapped her combadge. "Kira to Lt. Ro."
"Ro here Captain."
"Meet me outside the infirmary in five minutes with two of your most discreet men," Kira said, "Kira out."
Kira grabbed a data rod from a box and made her way to her to stand in front of the holo-communications array on the side of the room. She inserted the rod into a slot and activated the record function. "I'm sorry I couldn't warn you Julian..."

Ro Laren stood outside the station infirmary with Ensign Samno and Crewmen Calari. Something about this situation didn't feel right and it wasn't just the fact that she was back in a Starfleet uniform. The Promenade was nearly empty at this time of day with mostly shopkeepers preparing for the mid-day rush of lunch. She saw Kira and Vaughn coming with four officers who must have been from the Hades since she didn't recognize any of them. Two of them a benzite male and a short dark haired human woman wore blue and carried medical bags. The other two were dressed in gold, and though the younger man was obviously security, the older man looked more like intelligence to her.
Once the group reached Ro's position she stepped in line beside Kira. "What's going on?"
"Commander Andrus has orders to take Julian into custody." said Kira not quite able to look Ro in the face.
"Why?" Ro asked with barely disguised anger.
"We don't have time for this now Lt." said Vaughn. "You have your orders."
Ro looked into the Commander's eyes, and saw he didn't like this either. She turned to her men. "You heard the Captain this is Commander Andrus's show."

Julian was in the back of the infirmary going over inventory with Dr. Tarses and Nurse Sejax when two security officers stormed the room and pointed phasers at him. "What is the meaning of this?" he yelled as they grabbed him pinning his arms behind his back.
He turned to the door and saw Kira and Vaughn standing behind a Lt. Commander he didn't know.
"Dr. Julian Subatoi Bashir it is the belief of Starfleet Command that you are a danger to yourself and others." said Andrus. "I am hereby ordered to take you into custody and transport you to an appropriate facility for psychiatric evaluation."
Bashir first grew pale and then began to tense with anger. "And what if I don't want to cooperate."
Kira spoke up, "You don't have a choice in the matter Julian." She stepped closer to Bashir and put her hands on his shoulders. Bashir looked down, unable to look her in the face. "Look at me Julian." she said. He didn't comply but she continued anyway. "I promise you I will get this straightened out. I will get you back if I have to take it up with the Federation President in person."
Julian looked up with a plea in his eyes. "I'll hold you to that Captain."
Andrus cleared his throat, "My orders are to transport him to the institute either restrained and sedated or in stasis."
"Is that really necessary Commander Andrus?" Kira snapped at the man with more than a little anger.
"Those are my orders Captain." Andrus said.
Julian looked at Andrus with hurt in his eyes. "Do I have a choice?" he asked.
"If you cooperate." Andrus said with a nod.
"I'm going to file a formal protest about this Andrus." said Kira.
Julian breathed deeply. "Stasis, but have Dr. Tarses put me under here."
Kira turned back to Bashir, "Are you sure?"
"Captain," said Bashir looking into her eyes with more fire than before, "Nerys, I don't want to be conscious when they drag me across the Promenade."
Kira nodded with understanding.
Andrus tapped his combadge. "Andrus to Hades, were going with plan Beta two."
"Acknowledged Commander."
The medical personnel with Andrus moved some instrument trays out of the way and portable stasis chamber materialized in the center of the room. One of the medical personnel stepped forward and introduced herself. "I'm Nurse Milia Kent from the institute." She set a case on the exam table in front of Bashir. "You'll find a medical gown and some slippers in this case. Put them on and put your uniform, boots and combadge inside."
Bashir looked at all the people in the room. "Could I have a little privacy?" he asked.
Simon Tarses finally got up the courage to step forward. He went over to the gold shirts still holding Julian's arms. "There's a changing area over there." he pointed to a privacy screen. "If you'll be so kind as to let him go I'll make sure he doesn't sneak out the back."
The gold shirts looked to Commander Andrus, who nodded his head. They let go and Tarses grabbed the case and took Julian's arm pulling him behind the screen.
Kira looked at the gold shirts then glared at Andrus.
Zel Andrus had learned over the years how to tell when someone had been pushed too far, and Kira was definitely at that point. He cleared his throat again and turned to the security officers. "I think you can wait outside gentlemen."
The two gold shirts left and Bashir stepped out from behind the screen and walked over to the nearest bio-bed while being careful not to look at anyone else. Dr. Tarses began the cursory medical scans procedure required and Kira turned around unable to watch anymore. She would make someone answer for Julian's humiliation. He didn't deserve this, no matter how necessary Admiral Nechayev thought it was.

Nog had been passing the infirmary when he heard a scuffle inside and looked in to see Lt. Ro and another security officer standing on either side of the entrance to the patient ward as Captain Kira, Commander Vaughn, and two medical personnel went in. He ducked back behind the wall and turned his head so he could try and hear what was happening. All he could make out was "Taken into custody" and "Psychiatric evaluation." Then a few minutes later he heard Captain Kira threaten a formal protest. There was the distinct sound of a Federation transporter and what sounded like two more security officers walking out.
Nog stole a second glance. This looked serious. He move back against the wall and waited. Then he watched as a stasis chamber was maneuvered out and he saw Dr. Bashir inside. He turned to see Lt. Dax running across the Promenade toward the stasis chamber and Captain Kira, who had left the infirmary behind the security guards, grabbed her arm. Kira then whispered something in Ezri's ear and passed her something.
---
Ezri was suppose to meet Julian for lunch and had headed for the infirmary only to see them taking Julian out in a stasis chamber as the lunchtime rush on the Promenade began. She started to run to him but Kira stopped her.
"He's just going to visit Patrick and Jack." Kira said into Ezri's ear. "I promise you he won't stay long." She slipped the data rod she had recorded into Ezri's hand. "Pack him a bag of things he might need and put this in it. After you take his bag to the Hades pack yourself a bag and meet Commander Vaughn at runabout pad C."
Ezri looked at Kira with a puzzled expression. "Why are they taking him in stasis?"
"It was his choice Ezri." said Kira. "Elias will explain."
Ezri took a breath to compose herself nodded and hurried back to the quarters she shared with Julian.

Vaughn was waiting outside the runabout airlock when Dax arrived out of breath and looking somewhat flustered. She started to ask him where they were going but he ushered her into the cockpit. "When were underway Lieutenant." Dax stowed her bag and took the copilot's seat while Vaughn rushed through the preflight check. "Runabout Amazon requesting clearance to depart." said Vaughn.
"Ops to Amazon," Kira's voice said over the com, "clearance granted, and good luck."
The airlock retracted, the hatch opened and the landing pad rose permitting the runabout to lift off and reorient towards its destination. It was only then that Vaughn spoke. "We're going to Carddassia Prime Lieutenant." he said.
Ezri started to ask more but Elias raised a hand to stop her. "Julian is being taken to a secure location because a group of evolutionary purists have been making threats against people who have undergone genetic resequencing." Vaughn said. "They've taken responsibility for the murders of doctors on Adigeon Prime, Farius Prime and Risa who are suspected of preforming genetic enhancement. And they've taken a genetically enhanced woman prisoner."
"Who?" Dax asked.
"Sarina Douglas." said Vaughn. "I am aware that both you and Julian know her." he turned back to the controls. "We are to enlist the help of Miles O'Brien and meet with Lt. Commander Andrus, then split up and look for clues about where they might have taken Ms. Douglas."
Dax was beginning to understand what was going on, but not all of it. "Why did they take Julian away in stasis?" she asked.
"Admiral Nechayev thought it best if it looked like Bashir was taken away for psych evaluation." Vaughn looked down with mild shame. "We couldn't warn him first, and he was given the choice of being dragged across the Promenade in a stasis chamber or a straight jacket."
"Does he even know what's happening?" Ezri asked.
"No," said Vaughn, "and he wont find out till he reaches the institute."
"The data rod Kira told me to slip into his bag?"
"Was an apology." said Vaughn. "Julian gave me a message for you before Dr. Tarses put him under."
Ezri looked at Vaughn sad eyes.
"He said to tell you he loves you." said Vaughn.
That hung on the air for a long moment and both officers turned silently to the duty of piloting the runabout.

Nog couldn't believe what he'd seen or heard. He'd struggled with it for more than an hour when he finally entered Captain Kira's office.
