Okay, reference to the sister fic 'Heylin Future' in here, so be warned. Enjoy!

Jack eventually went away. Reimundo hung from the wall, spent, bleeding. His shirt hadn't been as immune to the blows as his flesh, and hung in tatters from his waist. His breath came in short gasps, and he let it. Who was there to act tough for? A volley of coughs racked his body and his eyelids hung, half closed. His ears rung and his lips were parched. How long had he been there? Time seemed to have no meaning in the dungeon - and he hadn't had a meal since being in the future with Mandy Spicer. 10 millennia away and still a few weeks ago, further forward than human history went back - had Wuya really ruled for all of it? Was this the most civilised that the world got? If it was, it was his fault. Mandy's world had looked almost medieval. Funny thing, time travel.

The door creaked. Reimundo started from his musings, waiting with bated breath. No-one came forth; he sighed with relief.

Katnappé crept through the lair. She knew that Jack had got a new Shen-Gong-Wu since she'd been there last - and she was going to steal it. Just to spite him for not giving it to her. The sound of laboured breathing reached her ears. They twitched. It wasn't Jack. She knew from sneaking in once before that he slept hardly breather, sucking his thumb. She snuck over to the wooden dungeon door, opened it a crack. There was a loud ominous creak, she jumped back, looked through the keyhole instead. The bare-chested prisoner, startled, was staring at the door, transfixed, his eyes twitching nervously. She almost laughed It was Reimundo, Xiaolin Joke of the Wind. Jack rarely remembered that prisoners needed food and water, something that Katnappé intended to take full advantage of.

She took a glass from a high cupboard and ran water from a tap. She smiled as she looked back through the keyhole. The prisoner seemed to have relaxed again. She pushed the door open quickly this time, so as not to let the squeak draw out. Hiding the glass being her back, she approached hi, smiling. Reimundo squinted in the dim light, trying to make out what new evil approached. She smiled at him when she was close enough for him to see her.

"Hey there," she said huskily. He recognised the voice.

"Katnappé."

"The one and only."

"Why are you... What do you want?"

Ashley stepped back and raised the glass to her lips, taking a small sip. "Tell me that you love me."

"Is this some kind of Joke?" he asked, his eyes narrowing.

"Are you thirsty? You have been here for a week. Tell my that you love me, and you can have this." She smiled seductively.

His mind reeled. Would it count as being weak if he gave in? "What... What if I don't?" he stuttered.

"Are you thirsty, Reimundo?" she asked again, taking a gulp of the water. A small moan of protest escaped his lips before he met her eyes and suppressed it. She smiles. "Well?"

"I..." She waited. "Love you"

"Now as one sentence."

"I love you." He scowled at himself. Ashley smiled - this could go on a little longer.

"Prove it."

"What!"

She leaned in closer. "Kiss me."

"No way!"

"Do you want the water or not?" This was crazy! She couldn't really expect him to... Could she? "Are you thirsty?"

The water swirled in the glass. His jaw trembled, she brought her face level with his. He leaned forward and gently brushed her lips with his.

"Good boy," she said, and raised the glass of water to his mouth. He drank.
