I don't own the Mighty Ducks.

Later that night, Mallory awoke with a scream. Wildwing being the sneaky but concerned leader that he was had slipped a microphone in her room so he could monitor her at night. He was awakened by her screams. Activating his armor, he ran to her room. When he got there she wasn't in bed, looking around he found the bathroom door open. Using his mask, Wildwing used x-ray vision to find her sitting in her stand up shower with the water going. She was rubbing her hands for some reason. He approached slowly as to not frighten her.

"Mallory?" What he found was unexpected. She was curled up under the water as it rained down on her, soaking her clothes through. Her eyes were red and puffy as if she had just been crying and she wouldn't stop staring at her hands.

He turned the water off and stepped in next to her. "Mallory are you alright?" He asked.

"No matter how hard I scrub I can't get the blood off." She said. Her voice sounded shaken. He understood what was happening. Picking her up he pulled her out of the shower and wrapped her in a towel.

Mallory seemed to pull herself out of it now and pulled the towel, tight around herself. "Thanks Wildwing. I'm sorry if I woke you. You can go back to bed. I'm fine now." She turned away from him feeling ashamed that he had seen her in such a weakened state. If there was anybody she didn't want to see her like that, it was Wildwing.

"No way. Your clearly having trouble sleeping. I'll stay here with you." She didn't argue. Watching her he signed. "I want to know what happened to you up there." Mallory stared at him a moment. "Mallory did someone buy your body?" Mallory shook her head in the negative. She knew it was killing him not knowing, especially with the knowledge of his recent confession.

"No... A female alien did buy my time yes but she was my doctor while I was there. She did it so that she could heal me. Nobody bought my body. I made sure of that."

"How?" He watched her as she went to her dressing room to change.

"Chargg was going to sell me for sex to this wealthy duck from Puckworld." She called out to him while changing her clothes. "It was after he danced with me that he decided that he wanted me, despite how I was unwilling to be social with him. But I had to dance and be social to a degree because Chargg would shock me with that gold collar if I didn't." Mallory walked back into the room, drying her hair with the towel.

Wildwing closed his eyes hearing this. It made his so angry to hear how she was treated like an animal.

"Anyway, when I was escorted back to the table, Chargg was there waiting for me. He asked the duck named Gerard if he wanted me and he said 'yes. Send her to my room.' Once I realized what was going on I knew I had to stop it somehow. Looking around the room I realized that if I didn't then this guy wasn't the only one I'd be sold to. So I grabbed the knife off the table and stabbed Chargg in the neck." She turned to look at Wildwing. "Everyone was too afraid of me after that."

Wildwing nodded, relieved. "What else happened. Start from the beginning." So Mallory did. She told him every detail from her first beating and broken ribs to the party where Chargg tried to sell her body and she escaped. He was particularly upset when he heard about how she had gotten back to Earth and they were about to reach her when she was picked up and slammed down by Orgg, breaking her ribs and puncturing a lung. "That saurian is going to pay." He silently promised.

She told him about meeting Ashley, how they became friends, about her death and everything after. She told him about her fights even though he already knew. She told him about when she killed Chargg and her treatment after. He silently listened, not commenting and not judging. Once she was done and told him everything, she could help but notice that she felt significantly better.

Feeling that now was the time to speak about her injuries before Tanya had to give him the report Mallory pulled her shirt over her head, surprising Wildwing. He felt his mouth go dry at seeing her in her bra, she had a beautiful body. Licking his beak, he waited for her to make the first move. He didn't want to frighten her by just jumping on her like an animal in heat. She reached for his hand and brought it to her side where she was cut by the rock sword. Not expecting her to place his hand on a wound, he looked up at her with a raised eyebrow.

"I think I should go over my injuries with you before you receive the report from the Medicom scan." She said quietly.

"Show me." Wildwing whispered. Mallory nodded and took his hand, running it along all of the spots she had been injured. His fingers were delicate as they traced where her wounds used to be and she stood still, letting him move around her and examine the different spots.

"The last one was this one." She traced his fingers down from under her ribs, over her stomach and to her hip. His fingers touched her so delicately it tickled. Feeling his fingers running over her made her shiver. He leaned forward and kissed her stomach where the slashes were, making Mallory close her eyes and enjoy the feeling of his touch. So wrapped up in each other they didn't realize that their clothes started coming off their bodies, falling gently to the floor. His hands continued to gently explore her body while her's did the same to his. They kissed and touched each other until they become one and moved together on her bed. It was beautiful, passionate, and sweet. Neither had experienced anything like it before.

That night sleeping in Wildwing's arms, Mallory for once didn't dream.

…..

The next morning she woke up to an alarm, one she wasn't used to hearing. She had expected to be in a cell and was surprised to find herself in her room. Turning she saw Wildwing laying next to her, eye's still closed and watch alarm going off. She gently turned off his alarm and looked at his sleeping face. He still had dark circles under his eyes but they were less now. No wonder he slept through the alarm. Deciding that she would let him sleep longer she went to get up only for Wildwing to grab her and pull her back down. "Don't get up yet." He pulled her to him and buried his face in her hair. Mallory smiled and cuddled into him.

They just laid there hugging and kissing until there was a knock at Mallory's door. She sighed and pulled away from him. "Looks like it's time to get up." He nodded and threw on his clothes while she did the same. Once they were dressed they both answered the door. Tanya was standing out in the hall holding photos of Mallory's full body scan from the Medicom.

"Oh! Uh sorry I didn't realize." She said rubbing the back of her neck.

"It's alright Tanya. Is that Mallory's scans?" Wildwing got right to the point.

She nodded looking over at Mallory to see if she had spoken with Wildwing about her injuries. Mallory nodded at her, giving Tanya the okay. "I guess I should give this to you then Wildwing. I was on my way to discuss with Mallory if I could hand these over to you but it looks like you guys have... uh talked."

"We did. Mallory showed me everything." Both Mallory and Tanya looked sharply at him.

"Uh I mean... you know, she told me about all her wounds." He cleared his throat, a blush forming under his feathers, making Mallory and Tanya smirk a little.

"Well I'll leave you guys too it then." Tanya chuckled and walked off, leaving the couple behind.

Standing next to Wildwing, Mallory watched his face for reactions to the images of where the scans revealed what the wounds looked like on an x-ray image. There was a whole pile of them. Each image was focused on one wound. Wildwing sorted through them while standing there. "Some of these are worse then I originally thought Mallory." He said sounding stoic.

She nodded and placed her hand on his. "Yeah they were bad but their completely gone... most of them anyway." He breathed in and stopped looking at them. "There is no point in you seeing this. You know what happened. You don't need to see what they looked like. I told you everything. Let's just burn these." She went to take them but he stopped her with a scolding look. Mallory dropped her hands to her side and looked up at him, waiting to see what he would do.

"I'm the team captain and the leader. This is part of the job. I'll look over these later but right now let's just grab some breakfast." He said putting his arm around her waist and leading her to the kitchen, nobody was there. "Uh where is everyone?" Wildwing laughed at her question, making her look at him oddly, wondering what was so finny. "Your on my time schedule. I wake up two hours before everyone else except Tanya. She has to be up early to check the vehicles and run maintenance."

They both grabbed breakfast and took it back to his room to discuss in private what would happen. Mallory was eating some oranges with honey and cinnamon while Wildwing ate his eggs. He watched her bite off a piece and continue taping away at the laptop she had. He couldn't resist. He placed his empty plate down and sat next to her. She turned and smiled at him but was pleasantly surprised when he stole a kiss from her. However her surprise turn to outrage when he stuck his tongue in and stole the juicy orange from her mouth.

"Hey! You shouldn't steal a recovering girls food from her mouth! She needs that nourishment!" He smile cheekily at her. "Yeah but I'll give her plenty of nourishment later." He said swallowing down the yummy orange. Mallory blush and shied away a little. He loved it that he could make her do that. This tough military train PSF's woman blushed like a teenager when he teased her. He found it adorable.

Laughing he leaned over and kissed her neck. Making Mallory close her eyes and enjoy the feeling of his beak sliding over her feathers and throat. Before they knew it Wildwing had pressed her shoulders into the bed and was on top of her, kissing her like he would never be able to kiss her again. She pulled at his clothing vigorously, wanting to get him out of them as she wrapped her legs around his waist. One thing led to another and they both found themselves laying naked in his bed, panting and recovering from their vigorous... workout.

"We should probably take a shower." Mallory said catching her breath. Wildwing nodded. "Yeah we have a lot to do today." She got up and made her way to his bathroom, not caring that her naked body was out on display for him. She was only too aware of his eyes following her tight little butt into the bathroom. "I hate to see you leave but love to watch you go." He said, leaning on his elbows. She laughed and turned on the shower. "Who said you couldn't join."

That got him out of bed pretty quickly.

…..

Walking down to the Chameleon's cell together, Mallory prepared herself for interrogating the Chameleon again. Today she and Wildwing would convince him to agree to helping them trick Dragaunus into thinking that he had completed his task. Wildwing had Duke squeeze more information out of him in the night. He found that there were plenty of times that Siege, Wraith and the Chameleon would take at least two days to get the job done because Dragaunus didn't want to see them until it was completed. So they had a couple of hours to break him before Dragaunus became suspicious.

"We need to take him to hell then show him the light. He'll be so despite to keep it that he'll do just about anything to get it back when we plunge him into hell again." She said walking beside Wildwing. He nodded, mentally preparing himself to be as stoic as possible in this. Chameleon was going to say anything possible to get a rise out of them. Turning the corner they saw the other ducks waiting for them. Duke leaned against the cell, Nosedive was standing next to Tanya watching her set up and Grin was nowhere to be seen.

They knew what they were doing went against his mighty principles. He would have no part in the torture of another being. He is words were. "I do not condone this act, nor do I condemn you. I just will not be present. Know that this is not an act against you but rather one to show my support by not stopping you." So it was just the five of them. Wildwing nodded and gave his appreciation of his support. He let Grin know that they wouldn't be doing this unless it wasn't absolutely necessary. Grin had nodded and gone off to his room to meditate.

Chameleon looked up at the approaching ducks, he knew today would be the day they would try to break him. Mallory would most likely visit upon him what he and the others had done to her when she was the one chained to the wall. Walking into the cell Wildwing and Mallory entered and closed the door behind them. It was time to begin...

…..

Three hours later they were close to breaking the Chameleon. Getting ready to walk out to leave him to his thoughts and he finally broke.

"WAIT! WAIT!... Okay... I'll... do it." He said between breaths.

Wildwing nodded. "Fine Tanya give him some water." She brought some over to him and let him drink it down. His left eye was swollen shut and there was blood running down his face.

Mallory walked over to a sink to wipe the blood off her hands, feeling numb as she watched the pink water swirling down the drain. They had finally broken him after hours of working. The Chameleon was tougher then she had originally thought. She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked over to see Duke watching her with a worried expression.

"You okay Sweetheart?" He asked not removing his hand. Mallory looked off to the side for a moment but then focused back on him and nodded.

"Yeah... I just need to meditate some I think."

"Just remember that we're all here for ya sweetheart." She glanced over at Wildwing talking with Tanya and Nosedive, he was busy trying to figure out the best way to do this and keep control of the Chameleon.

Looking back at Duke, Mallory realized at that moment that Duke had done things in his past that he wasn't particularly proud of and that he shared the burden of taking someone's life. "Thanks Duke." She placed her hand over his in a rare moment of sweetness and gave it a small squeeze. He returned it with a smile.

Once her hands were cleaned, she Walked back over to the others with Duke, noticing that Wildwing seemed agitated. "What's wrong?" She asked. He looked at her then back at Tanya who didn't look him or Mallory in the eye. "Guys talk to me."

"Tanya's plan involved using you as bait for Dragaunus."

"I'll do it." All the ducks looked at her as if she had grown a second head, all except for Wildwing, who seemed incredibly displeased with her wanting to do this.

"Look what other choice do we have?" She asked placing her hands on her hips.

"How about one that doesn't involve placing you in a psychopaths hands! That sounds better to me." Said Duke, worried about Mallory possibly being captured by Dragaunus. He didn't want to see his teammate branded like cattle.

Wildwing nodded. "I agree with Duke. You heard what Dragaunus will do to you if he gets you. It's sickening to think about and my first priority as leader is the safety of this team."

"And that's why you never catch us." Chameleon laughed from his cell. Everyone turned to him, giving the reptile a deadly glare. He closed his mouth and looked away.

"He's right." Mallory mumbled. "Let me do this. I can do it.."

Wildwing stared at her with a blank expression, it was silent in the pond when Wildwing finally sighed. "Alright. If your up to it then we will but there is going to be safety precautions in place."

"Okay. So where do we start?"

…..

Tanya explained the plan. Mallory would pretend to runaway and the Chameleon, with a gun to his head would tell Dragaunus that the mission was complete and Mallory that had found a cabin outside of the city. There she would rent a room and wait for the lizards to show up. The location was picked out and Mallory would go there and wait for an attack. Wildwing and Grin would be in the next room. Tanya, Duke and Nosedive would be up in the Aerowing making large circles of the area, ready to come in and attack.

It was time to finally stop those lizards.
