What happens:

Chapter 2:

Helping and Understanding

3 Days later....

'Why do I keep thinking of that damn prisoner Duo? I have some questions I want him to answer, and see if those guards have killed him yet...' She thought as she walked down the corridor to her brother's office. "Lieutenant Kai, I am here to ask permission to have some responsibility for the Gundam pilot...I trust the Colonel has agreed..." Her brother nodded and wrote down a note of a piece of paper and signed it at the bottom.

"Here, give this is the guards at his door...He hasn't talked the past 2 days...The most of the first day he was cocky, smart mouthed, even spit and fought back... But the past two days he hasn't done anything but stand there and take the punishment...I trust you can get something from him..." He handed her the paper and saluted his sister, who returned the gesture. She immediately left, pondering on what her brother had just told her...

'What made him not talk? He seemed like such a talkative person, what could they do to him to silence him like that?' She walked to the cell entrance and handed the largest guard the note, she looked at him he saluted her and opened the door with out question. Since her 'saving the base' she'd been given a hero badge, and her status lifted up, so she was now Soldier 321 Jessy Heniki. (Regular soldier rank is in a system of numbers 1-100 are the highest 200's, 300's, 400's and so on...) The 500 guards automatically had to respect their superior, she was of higher rank than R. Heniki, she could be trusted and let in without question, especially since her brother was the Lieutenant...

'That was easy, I could get use to being 321...' Her thoughts trailed off when they opened the door and she stepped in the cell. She felt around and found the light, cutting it on the light alluminated the room, and her gave fell upon the figure sitting lifeless on the bed...

'What the fuck did they do to the guy? He isn't moving, he looks like a zombie! Look at his body, he has dried blood all over him, and look at all the wounds!'

She walked slowly toward the boy and tried to get his attention... "Duo?" No response, the boy didn't even blink, she tried again. "Duo?" Still no answer, she felt so sorry, so terrible she thought this was her fault... "Are you ok Duo?" She was talking in a low, soft, and shaky voice, she was shocked at the state and appearance of the once mighty and cocky Gundam Pilot...

He was as if lifeless, he was battered almost head to toe, she couldn't see any large area of his body that wasn't injured...He had bruises, scratches, scrapes, whelps, ect all over his body...He must have been slapped, punched, kicked, used a whip, knives, ect... He had dried blood that covered and surrounded most of his open wounds, he still just sat there barely even moving to breath...

There was a water basin on the other side of the room, full of water, she immediately walked over to the basin and carried it back close to the boy...Duo still only had his boxers on, which were torn or tattered in some parts, the clothes he had been wearing laid on the floor close to the cell door...She reached out to touch his arm, where there was a small place without any known injury. The boy shrunk back, and rolled his arm out of her reach, but not in pain...It was from the touch it self, he didn't want to be touched, maybe he didn't recognize her...She didn't blame him, she'd be the same way, she was still an Oz after all, his enemy...

"Duo...Duo, please let me clean you up...I want to help clean up your wounds, I am sorry this happened...I don't want to hurt you, please let me help you..." She told him in a tone just over a whisper, leaning toward him so he could surely hear, and insuring the guards outside wouldn't hear...

She reached out again and touched his arm in the same place as before, but this time the prisoner didn't cringe or shrink back. He just tensed up visibly, but didn't pull away from the touch. She took this as a sign, he somewhat trusted her and agreed to let her help him...She opened up her uniform coat and ripped the bottom portion of the white under shirt off, since it wasn't visible and didn't mean nothing to her...She fixed her coat so the guards outside or anyone else wouldn't notice the change. Jessy turned around and dipped the cloth in the cool water, and then placed it on Duo's arm. She wouldn't rub at the dry blood, for it would only cause his body to bleed more, and it would cause him pain...She jus let the wet cloth moisten the blood and pull it up into the cloth, so she could easily remove it and repeat.

After about fifteen minutes she had cleaned up his arms and legs of the dirt, sweat and dried blood. "Alright, I know your not going to like this, but sit up straight so I can clean your chest, stomach, and back..." He finally looked at her, his amethyst pools capturing her hazel blue ones... He was a little panicky, he'd never let someone touch those parts of his body before. He was uneasy about this Oz taking her hands and putting them on him... "I promise I won't hurt you Duo...I haven't hurt you so far have I?" He thought about it, she hadn't in fact the cool damp cloth had eased the burning sensation that engulfed his body. He shook his head in answer to her, but ever so slightly, so she barely noticed. "Than why should I now? Please trust me, don't think of me as an Ozzie, the only reason I am here is because my only family, my brother is the Lieutenant and he lives here...I am more or less forced to live here, I hate Oz personally so don't think of me as an enemy..." She told him this, why she didn't know...O yeah to get him to trust her.

"Alright..." He whispered in a raspy voice, apparently from the two and a half days of not using it... Jessy nodded and continued, quickly but effectively cleaning off his back, and then his chest and stomach...He wasn't pleased with her rubbing her hand on a large gash that was now on his abs, but she did, it actually felt good except for the bit of burning it caused. She sprayed some antiseptic pretty much all over his body, where ever an open wound resided. She happened to have it with her, she figured he'd be able to use it or keep it, she used half the small bottle on him in just this one time...

"There, are you alright now?" She asked him, after she had completed the task and was pouring the bloody water that was in the water basin down the water drain that was in the middle of the cell.

"Ok..." Was the answer she received, which astonished her, she hadn't believed she'd get a response... "Tell me...Why did you do that?" He asked, his voice still a little raspy...

"Like I said, I am not an Ozzie on my own free will, I would have let your bomb blow the place up, but I couldn't while innocent people were inside...If it were only us and the soldiers, than I probably would have, but there were about fifty students and teens in the mess hall with their family...I couldn't have killed them too..." She told him, casting her gaze toward his face.

"Good reason not to blow the place up...But you didn't answer my question." Duo told her, meeting the hazel blue gaze.

"O, well I guess I thought their treatment of a mere..."

"Boy?" He tried to complete her sentence, with a tone of disrespect and disgust.

"No, a mere teenager like myself...I don't see you as a boy, your more man than any of the soldiers in this base... You were willing to die for your mission, you took the beatings and the words without submitting...That is not the work of a boy, but a man..." She told him straight forward... "Shit, I have to leave, please tell me something that I can tell them, it doesn't have to be totally true, but I need to have something to tell them, or I can't come back..." He nodded in understanding.

"5 gundam pilots, all only 15-16. Our main cause and mission is to end the war, stop the suffering, get and maintain peace...We don't work for the preventors nor against, they let us bunk, eat, and repair our gundams there at their bases...O and my name is Duo Maxwell...Is that enough?'' He finished and looked at the girl. She was pleased and quite stunned by the information.

"Plenty! Thanks, I will come back tomorrow night, with some water, food, other essentials, and clean boxers...Try and hang on a few days till I can devise a way to get you out..." She told him, Duo blushed at the mention of clean boxers and then the rest of her statement sunk in.. 'She wants to help me escape! Why? What's your motive? You are one hard case to crack Jessy...But I am glad I have someone in this damn place to somewhat trust...' He thought, before he answered.

"Thanks, and I am sure I'll survive...'' He told her with a slight smirk. Jessy nodded a likewise and walked out of the cell, with no word from the guards.

"Leave the prisoner be, I got some information out of him...Kai has given me specific orders to not beat this prisoner unless he says otherwise. If you do so it will be considered as failure to complete task, and insubordination, the consequences are severe...Do you understand?" They nodded and saluted to their superior, even though she was only 16.

"Yes ma'am!" They called to her as she turned around and walked away.

30 Minutes later....

"Yes Sir! Immediately! I understand..." One of the night guards told Soldier 422 R. Heniki. The guard, Soldier 591 Yang, relayed the message to the other guard and the two entered Duo's cell... The boy was restlessly sleeping, the second guard, Soldier 592 Lawson, sprayed sleeping gas in Duo's face, causing him to be rendered unconscious. He was vunerable and susceptible to what ever king of punishment the guards wanted to force upon him.

The two soldiers securly cuffed his hands and feet, enabling him from moving. The immobilized Duo had no idea what was going on, where he was, or what was planned when he awoke. The cell was cool, there were two others in the cell, Yang and R. Heniki, both looking down at the defenseless young Duo...

The next evening...

"Lawson let me through immediately! I have permission by Lieutenant Kai himself! My brother has allowed me access to the prisoner when ever and how ever long, when I want. If you do not believe me go to him yourself right now!" Jessy yelled at Lawson who was standing at the door, looking panicked but angry.

"No ma'am I can't I have specific orders from R. Heniki not to let anyone past this post..." He told the angry Jessy. Suddenly a muffled cry, weird laughing, and even a groan came from within the cell. Lawson froze, really panicked now, and Jessy was pushed over the edge, she wouldn't stand for the defiance any longer.

"Damn you! I told you let me through!" She told him, and dropped the bundled items in the floor and pulled out some sleeper spray. She sprayed the gas in his face and he dropped in the floor unconscious. Jessy unlocked the steel door and swung it open. What she saw was startling, but she took it under control. "Fuck you Ralph! You sick bastard! Get away from him now!" She shouted at the man, who had frozen in his tracks by Duo's cot. Jessy had her gun out and poised right at Ralph's chest. "You sick mother fucking bastard! Kai will be informed about this immediately, just hope I don't get trigger happy..." She told the half naked man, who was pulling up his pants. Jessy had her finger on the trigger, knowing the fast Ralph Heniki.

"Bitch, this is none of your damn business!" He shouted at her and pulled his gun.

"I told you..." She pulled the trigger, she had been faster than the fastest gunman in the base, she'd shot R. Heniki. The bullet penetrated his chest and hit his heart, immediately killing the soldier. The other Soldier, the Chinese Yang, had ran out of the room before the gun had been shot. Jessy didn't give a damn she had just murdered someone, or that the other man had ran out, probably to retrieve her brother. Her gaze was on the cot in the corner of the room...

The distressed Duo lay across the cot, on his stomach, naked and cuffed down. His eyes were wide, and tears were streaming down his pale face. Jessy immediately began to search the pockets of the dead soldier, while trying to ease Duo who was making crying and pleaing noises through his stuffed mouth. "Hold on Duo, I'll get you free as soon as I find the damn keys..." She searched the coat pockets of the corpse and fount the two keys that would unlock the cuffs that bound the boy to the bed.

She hurriedly worked to get the cuffs off the scared boy. He had looked her in the eyes moments before, those amethyst pools were filled with shock, fear, sorrow and pain. Once the cuffs were off, she helped him up into a sitting position and pulled the tape off of his mouth, then the cloth that was inside. He still had tears moistening his cheeks, and Jessy once again tore piece of her under shirt off for the boy. She wiped his face and handed him the torn cloth. He was breathing fast and shallowly, he was frightened, and she didn't blame him. "Duo, calm down! Its ok now...Please stop crying, I won't let anyone do this to you again...I promise! Stay right here, I am going to get something..." She walked back outside the cell, dragging the body of the soldier with her. She grabbed her dropped belongings and carried them back inside, locking the steel door behind her, so no one could enter...

Duo was in shock, he was shaking when Jessy returned to the bed. He was also freezing, his naked skin had been subjected to the cool dampness of the cell since the evening before. "Here put these on..." Jessy handed him a pair of boxers and sweat pants she'd went out and bought specifically for Duo that afternoon. He fumbled with the clothes but eventually got them on.

"Thanks...They, did...It twice last night...Right after you left..." He croaked out slowly, trying to keep himself calm and not burst into a tearful fit. He felt so dirty, violated, betrayed, and vulnerable.

"Shh... Its ok, I'll try and get you out of here tonight, while my brother is busy explaining the situation to the Colonel. Both will understand why I shot Ralph..." She told him, trying to comfort and calm the shocked man. He was in pain, both mentally and physically, not to mention he had been robbed. Robbed of the most precious thing, the one thing that made a person really innocent in war, virginity. This had been tooken by greedy soldiers, who would now pay, but would never be punished enough for such a crime. Jessy was totally outraged, how someone could be so cruel, they took away the only thing that kept him a boy! She was about to get up, and leave to find her brother when a pair of arms wrapped around her own.

"Don't leave me alone... Please! They might come here while your gone!" He told her, staying wrapped around her. She just pulled her arms out of the grip, and rubbed the pilot's back, trying to comfort him.

"Ok, I won't leave you Duo...I won't let them do that again...I promise." She told him again, now wrapping her arms around him. Her motive was to calm him down, try to get him to relax some. It worked, but he fell asleep a few minute later, physically and mentally drained. She just let him stay there, not caring. She laid back, trying not to disturb the sleeping Duo, and she fell asleep herself.

*~*~*Duo's POV during this chapter*~*~*

When I first herd the door open I didn't care, I was waiting for the soldier to cuff me...But it never came, I heard a voice, but didn't try to understand it... Then I felt something on my arm! I immediately rolled my shoulder out of the rang of touch, and looked up to notice it was that damn girl, who I gave the codes too... She had regret in her eyes...

She wanted to help me? Why? This girl is weird, I get a vibe like a mix of myself and Heero in her, an odd combination if you ask me...

She cleaned my wounds, being gentle...I never felt such a soft touch before, all my life I have only known the roughness and severity of being a street rat and a gundam pilot...Only one person ever came close to this contact, Sister Helena.

This girl is weird, I feel something towards her...Understanding, but I can't feel the understanding while shes touching my stomach, I feel afraid, but her reassuring personality ebbs me to trust her...Shes Oz, but at the moment she's the only one I have. I feel her gently and quickly work at cleaning my chest, a weird sensation over comes my body...Love? No...More like insecurity, but this girl has me feeling more secure with every second that goes by.

When she had finished, I was relieved, the contact was killing me...I didn't like unnecissary contact especially from someone I don't even know...Well I do know some things about her, but still...I wish Heero was here...I feel safe when I am with him, my stoic perfect soldier...Yeah I think of him as mine, even though he doesn't show emotions, I know they are there...Some where deep inside, they've been surpressed, I wish I knew if he loved me, it would make me feel a lot better...

Jessy wants to help me escape....Damn, she hides her motives, shows emotions but I don't think their the right ones, she hides them...Like me... When she left I felt relieved I sighed, I was going to think a lot...

I soon heard the door opening, I was mainly asleep, I figured they would wake me up and start beating me again...But wait...I fell into a deep void of black, unable to use any of my senses...Later I finally came out of my dazed state, I was cuffed to the cot...I didn't have my boxers on, I was naked! I was panicky, I felt to vulnerable, I had never been in such a situation...Then I realized the cotton taste in my mouth, I was gagged!

I saw three figures around me, all men, I knew one of them was Ralph Heniki, the girl's cousin...She had expressed her hate for the guy, she said she had a bad feeling about him, a filthy one that she couldn't place. I felt the same way now, but I could place it...

The man was undressing! O shit, I felt so scared, vulnerable, and dirty.

The man climbed on top of he, caressed by back, making me tingle and cringe from the rough iced touch. I was really scared I knew what was going to happen, how could this happen to me? The girl, I wish the girl never left, she was good, she wouldn't have allowed this to happen, I remember her telling the others not to hurt me... She was worried about me, I was crying by now, feeling the soldier's immense weight on top of me, I felt his hot breath on my neck.

"Yeah, I will teach you to talk when its wanted of you...Its been 3 years since I have been in bed, I prefer women, but you look like one, so you'll do...Isn't it weird, I get to have your childlike self, instead of information..." The man was laughing, he was insane, no he was one of those men who craved ecstasy, or what ever...I was crying and sobbing silently, as I felt him enter me...

I screamed to myself, the pain was immense...My body felt repulsive, I went numb...I could still feel his thrusts, his hot breath, and then all feeling returned, the man reached his climax...It was disgusting, I really felt dirty, repulsed at such a thing, I could only think of Heero...What we he say, he'd call me a weakling for letting it happen and getting to me like it has...The man laid out, exhausted on top of me, the mass and weight pushing my face into the pillow, I felt myself starting to smother...Then I felt the man weakly push himself off of me, started to laugh, and I wanted to die... He was pleased with what he had done, I was thinking damn I am glad this is over...

Unfortunately it wasn't another man I didn't recognize, even bigger than Heniki came over. He was naked, I was swept away in an even bigger wave of fear, terror, horror, and pain again...This time this man was different, he teased my body, he entered his large fingers into my throbbing body. I felt really dirty, the man then repeated what Heniki had done, put his self into me...Thrusting even harder and faster than Heniki, I wanted to vomit, but I had nothing in my stomach to do so and it would take to much energy...Energy I didn't have... I was screaming, but it was only coming out as muffled sighs or whatever...My eyes stung, they were dry now, I had cried every tear I owned.

Soon everything went blank, I think they gassed me or I fell unconscious on my own...I never remember the man climaxing or stopping...

When my mind cleared again, I was aware it had been almost 19 hours since I was last awake...I was alone in the cell, but not for long, about thirty minutes after I had been conscious two men entered my cell...One was Heniki, that maniac grin on his face...I was scared, as I watched him again, taking his uniform jacket it and then his white undershirt.

I had started to cry again, I know my eyes must have still been blood shot and now wide too....I was really scared, my body still hadn't gotten over the night before... Then I heard yelling out side the cell, I cried even harder thinking more were coming...But then I recognized Jessy's voice, she was cussing out Ralph...She was in the cell by now, I watched her, still crying freely, as she pointed her at him...I wanted her to shoot him so bad, I couldn't wait till I heard the click of the trigger being pulled when he grabbed his gun. The next moments went by in slow motion, Jessy's bullet hit R. Heniki in the chest, he fell out on the floor in a gasp, dead in an instant...I was still scared though, I don't know why... I guess it was because the other guard had ran out, I was afraid he was getting more of them, and it would be worst the next time...Plus they'd either do the same to Jessy or kill her... I watched Jessy reach around in the dead man's clothed pockets, looking for the keys to my bonds.

"Hold on Duo, I'll get you free as soon as I find the damn keys..." She told me, and finally she found them. I know I felt pain, pain mentally and physically, I know she saw a lot in my eyes when she looked at me... "Duo, calm down! Its ok now...Please stop crying, I won't let anyone do this to you again...I promise! Stay right here, I am going to get something..." She told me after she had worked hurriedly to get the iron cuffs off of me... She went outside the cell, taking the corpse of my rapist with her, I was glad, that's what scared me most, the dead body of him there...I felt like he'd get up and do it again, even though my mind knew he couldn't my body didn't...

I was so cold, I shook, for many different reasons, most unconscious ones...I fumbled with the clothes she gave me, I was glad to get them on, I still felt dirty, ashamed, and vulnerable. I saw her body tense, she was about to get up and leave me...I wouldn't let her....I didn't want to be here without her, I wanted to be reassured... "Don't leave me...Please...They might come back..." I told her slowly, I didn't want more to come, I felt stupid but better when I pleaded for her to stay. Yeah me, Duo Maxwell pleaded the girl to stay with me. I hugged her to keep her from leaving, well not a hug but a grip...

She rocked me back and forth slowly, rubbing my back whispering reassuring words in my ear...I soon fell asleep, I felt safe with her, for some odd reason, she was the one I trusted the most now...I don't know why...

*~*~*END POV*~*~*
