Sorry it took a little while for chapter 4 to get up here. I kinda lost where I was taking this, but I have a good idea going (I hope!) But suggestions are always welcome! Alright, blah blah I don't own Gundam Wing blah blah Duo is hot.

Thanks to lonelyangel1413 and ShadyLady666 for their lovely reviews! It keeps me going y'all! And now, onto chapter fooooooooooour!

"How long have you been in here now, Bright Eyes?"

She didn't turn to look at him, just sat staring at the wall in front of her. The grey, filthy wall. She had been surrounded by these walls now for days- probably weeks by now. Surely.

"I was hoping you could tell me."

He scratched his head, "Oh, let's see. I'd say around," he paused, "six weeks now. That sound about right?"

She scoffed, "No, it feels more like ages."

"Oh come on. It's not that bad, is it?"

Slowly, her gazed shifted behind her and landed on the braided idiot.

"Not that bad? How could you possibly know what bad is? You have no idea what I've been through to get where I am today. My life has been constant training and suffering."

He leaned back against the wall.

"My life hasn't been perfect either ya know."

She rolled her eyes at him, "I don't care, Maxwell. I don't care what trials you've been through. I don't care what you've had to endure. All I know is that I want out of here, away from you. Now!"

There was a long silence between the pair. She had grown very cold and hateful towards him throughout the past few weeks. He knew that she was never going to be happy to see him, but when she was first down here she seemed…better. But to accuse him of not knowing the pains of war? That was crossing a line. A line that ran down into Duo's soul. But what had she gone through? They hadn't been able to find out much more about her, she always kept quiet. Even during Heero's long interrogations.

He brought his eyes up to look at her through his long bangs. Still, under all the grime that covered her, she was exquisite looking. It pained him to see her in this dank cell, rotting away like a common criminal. He wanted to help her get out- every time she asked him to just open the lock, it took him everything to stop himself from obeying.

"Jessie, tell me about your family."

She hugged her knees closer to her chest. Her family. She wanted to tell him everything. They were murdered in cold blood. StarRex did it. The Gundams did it. I trained for years to avenge them. Please, help me.

"No, I can't."

He stepped closer to the bars and wrapped his hands around them.

"But you want to. It's alright, Jessie. It's just you and me."

She kept silent. She couldn't tell him anything, no matter how badly she wanted to. She needed to tell him. Someone. Anyone. The men at her organization didn't care about her feelings. They just wanted her to be a perfect fighting machine. To kill without discretion. To gather information that they needed to expand. To destroy.

"Alright. I'm here if you need to talk."

"Leave me alone, Maxwell."

"You haven't eaten today have you? Let me get you something."

Again, he was met with silence. She was starving out of her mind.

"Ok, I'll go and get you something. Be right back."

It didn't take him to long to return- with a nice delicious sandwich, she noticed.

He smiled as he handed it to her, "Eat up."

She snatched it away from him and sat back on her cot. He decided it would be a good idea to leave her with some peace. Women were just like that, he thought. So that's just what he did.

She sighed and took a giant bite out of her dinner, "God, that's so good!"

As she continued to devour her meal, she found something a little distasteful about it. Something, off.

"Aw, what a downer."

She started to analyze the sandwich and dissect it on her napkin. Nothing in the bread. Or the lettuce, Or the meat- wait.

"What the hell is that?"

She picked between the meat and cheese and pulled out something small and metal. After close examination, she found it was a bobby pin.

"Gross, why is this here?"

She flicked it aside and finished up her meal, now that it tasted much better and a lot less metallic-y. After her last bite, she laid down on her cot and tried to sleep.

"I wonder how that hair pin got in there. Weird. I really doubt there are any women here who would need it. And like guys wear them."

Jessie paused.

"Wait a second. Sure, there's no women here, but there is a boy who has long locks in need of a bobby pin or two. That idiot. Gross, I hope there weren't any hairs in there that I ate. Sick me out."

She gave a small shudder and turned over on her side. After a few more minutes, she again had another brilliant revelation.

"Wait," she jumped out and grabbed the pin, "This didn't fall in, he put it there!"

She stared at it a moment, wondering if she was really thinking clearly. Surely he wouldn't help her escape. Would he? If anyone found out, he would get thrown into prison himself. Why would he risk that? That idiot.

"Well fine then. I won't disappoint him. That would just be rude after all!"

She went over to the cell door and began to fiddle with the lock. This shouldn't be too hard, she thought, picking locks was something they taught during training. The latch clicked and she swung the door open. No sweat. No cameras down here either, guess they didn't want Heero's little "interrogations" on tape. This was going to be easy. There was only the one door at the top of the stairs she could use. No windows either. What a delicious little challenge this was going to be. Creeping up the stairs carefully, she creaked the door open and peered around to either side. Long hallway and she was at the very end. Only one way to go. She took her time getting to the other end, watching security camera's movements and timing hers to avoid their glance. She ducked behind various plants and niches in the wall as well. Soon, she reached the corned and looked around cautiously. No one in site, seemed a little odd. As she continued on, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching. Damn, she thought, I knew this was too easy. She dived behind a cubbyhole in the wall and waited. They drew nearer. She could see his shadow getting closer to her position. She pressed herself hard against the wall as he passed, and as she finished gathering her strength, she leapt out behind him and sliced her hand into his neck. The man fell to the ground with a loud thud and she smiled to herself, she still had it. She quickly spun around and ran down the rest of the hall- that guard would be up soon.

Okie dokie, chapter 4 in over-o. How did y'all like it? Hope it was good! Haha. As always, love the reviews! And I know I really have to work to make the chapters longer, I don't wanna rush anything.
