	Hi, I'll be starting this in a couple of days, but I wanted to give people a chance to die of shock, then resurrect to read. Jaina and Jag get stranded and have to escape in enemy territory, but what happens when they have to face their feelings for each other as well? -----signature----- "I feel like a more down-to-earth Pink 5 when I'm writing Leah.

	She knew she was in trouble long before the first shot was fired, but she was reminded in painful detail, literally, the moment she regained consciousness. Wherever she was, the ceiling was a murky grey, mottled with stains that had an origin she did not care to trace. The air, stifling in the early-morning heat that would turn into a blistering inferno by midday, smelled strongly of everything from fecal matter to decaying flesh and she wasn't sure if the stench came from her or whoever had been in this cell before. Or whoever was still here. Instinct overrode thought and her first instinct, like her mother, was always to speak. "Where..." She was interrupted by the unrestrainable urge to cough, a spasm that curled her body inwards and alerted her to the myriad pains that she hadn't bothered to register in the five seconds she'd been conscious so far. Her lungs strained against cracked ribs as she coughed and something splashed against the rough flooring. Forcing open the one unblackened eye, she saw only crimson beneath her mouth and had to force down the panic with the bile rising to her throat. She uncurled and unwisely tried to straighten both legs. The left one was bruised, but it was nothing next to the shards of bone that grated against each other beneath the skin of her right leg. A searing pain in the right thigh had been her first awareness of the agony and she reached down to where her femur had snapped and began to poke through the skin. Both arms felt broken, but while her left arm hung useless at her side, unable to even lift it, she still had some mobility in her right arm. Probably because her collarbone and arm had both taken the brunt of the impact. "Where am I?" she mouthed, no longer trusting her voice to speak. "Don't you remember?" It was a familiar voice and after five seconds, her mind latched onto a callsign. "Raptor," she rasped. Rauel "Raptor" Cauven, Twin Suns 5. The veteran pilot in the squadron after her, but the one who had insisted on staying at the rank of Lieutenant so "my head doesn't get too swollen to fit into my helmet." It was good to have someone with a sense of humor around when you felt this mauled. "Good to have you back, Colonel," he called. "What do you remember?" Fire and pain. Not much else. I remember hoping I would die rather than try and survive a crash like this. "I remember losing my starboard engine," she whispered. "I lost all control, couldn't even level out as I hit the atmosphere, so I nearly burned up, but there was enough of my shield to keep me in one piece. Something hit me hard enough that the stick went right through my leg..." That explains the hole and splintered bone where my thigh should be, but what the Sith happened after that? "And I remember hitting the eject button as soon as I was low enough for a parachute landing..." And that's where it all went black, where memory ceased and brought her here. "What happened to me?" There was a rustle of movement, then the sound of something heavy being dragged across the floor. A moment later, Rauel came into view, dragging one leg behind him, looking about as battered as she felt, but still mobile. "You're a mess," he informed her helpfully. "As near as we can tell, the firing welded your cockpit and when you hit the eject button, you ejected into the canopy. You were free-floating, had no restraints when you finally hit ground. Luckily, that shattered the canopy, so you were clear of the ship when it exploded, but you are a mess." So that's why I feel like a smashball after too many seasons with the Corellian Sector team. "Thanks for the encouragement," she grunted. "How about you?" "I got shot down about 60 meters from the ground, so I've just got a busted leg and a few dozen bruises." She nodded, immediately regretted the action as the dull throb in her head exploded into a full-blown migraine. "Oh Sith..." "I wouldn't do that," Rauel laughed. "Your helmet got cracked from hitting that hard and I can't imagine your head feels any better." "You're telling me," she grunted. "What about the others?" He flopped onto his back, hands behind his head. "Four of us in total, since the rest got out. Six is in pretty good shape, managed to get down under her own power, but her ship's in bad shape. Got herself shot in the side trying to escape the patrol that found her, but they treated that to keep her alive. Nine was less fortunate, but nothing more than a broken arm and a couple of cracked ribs. All in all, we were pretty fortunate." "Fortunate," she laughed, forgetting for a moment just how badly her ribs hurt. "Four of us get shot down and captured, they've treated just one of us, and you call that fortunate?" She could hear the grin in his voice. "It could be worse," he reminded. "They could have left us in the jungle. At least they'll heal us enough to use us as bargaining chips." She didn't want to think of the possibility of lying, broken and bloated from dehydration in the middle of the jungle as the local wildlife decided to try her as an appetizer. "True." There were Jedi techniques to dampen pain, to calm her mind and put her in a healing trance, but she had never been in a situation before where she simply hurt too much to succeed in any of those. Trying to take a calming breath didn't work, because it would simply bring more pain, so she simply focused on a calm thought, her last visit with Jacen, the laughter and light-hearted banter, the incessant teasing. Finally, she was able to bring down the pain level to a manageable state. "You should sleep," Rauel said helpfully. "I'm trying," she grunted. "How long have we been here?" "Two days," he reported. "They've been in twice to leave food, but that's about all the interest they've shown in us." "Great," she muttered. "Just great." "There's one bright spot," he interjected. "What's that this time?" she demanded. "They've officially declared war on our side," he explained. "Whatever goes on, they won't want our deaths counting against them. Chances are, we might just get out of this alive." -----signature----- "I feel like a more down-to-earth Pink 5 when I'm writing Leah.

	This is really great! Great imagery and descrptions of injuries! LOL "You're a mess," he informed her helpfully Ahh friends, so helpful. So that's why I feel like a smashball after too many seasons with the Corellian Sector team. He he he. This was funny. "They've officially declared war on our side," he explained. "Whatever goes on, they won't want our deaths counting against them. Chances are, we might just get out of this alive." Whew, what a bright side. A wonderful story! -----signature----- Harry Potter > Twilight Would I rather be feared or loved? Um... Easy, both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me. Persia pwns your face.

Well your title says J/J adven. mush so I will have to trust you on that. I will be sure to check back to find out where Jag is. green_eyes

	Sheesh. Jaya loses X-Wings more often than I change underwear (there's an image for ya). What makes her such a tempting target, I wonder? Good start Ishtar. Maybe if you're working on this, I'll eventually catch up on your War Crimes fic. -----signature----- On the Shoulders of Giants http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=23575110 From the Empire, With Love http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=26258118

This was an incredibly intense and atmospheric beginning. I love the whole post - and I have hardly any idea who Jaina is. You'll write more so I can learn more, right? Please, pretty please.
