And now FINALLY back to the story...
Portia continued her way down the corridor to her office. As she turned the corner, Portia ran head on with Qui-Gon Jinn, who from the looks of it was trying to get into her office. "Master Jinn you do know that breaking and entering is a crime in the Republic don't you?" She glared at the Jedi Master. " Why don't you just ask me what you want to know?"
Qui-Gon glared at the girl. "I want answers to why Obi-Wan is afraid of me. Why doesn't he want to see me?" Even though the Master rubbed Portia wrong she could still feel the immense pain raising in Qui-Gon from the rejection that his padawan has given him.
"I wish I could tell you Master Jinn." Portia sighed. "Is there anything you could've possibly done to make Obi-Wan feel fear when it comes to you?"
Qui-Gon saddend. "I would never hurt Obi-Wan. There isn't a single part of me that would want to hurt him." Qui-Gon fought back tears. "I would do anything for Obi-Wan. If it even meant giving my life to save his. He is a friend and a son to me. How could I hurt him?"
Portia hesitated. "Master Jinn, sir. I know you do not approve of overseeing your Padawan's medical treatments." Qui-Gon began to speak but she cut him off. "You need to understand that I am not here to make enemies with you Master Jinn. I want to help you get your padawan back. And I am the only one on Coruscant that can."
"How?" Qui-Gon asked. "Couldn't anyother healer help him as much as you could?"
Portia sighed and stared right into Qui-Gon's eyes. "Because I have been where he is."
"What?"
"What has happend to Obi-Wan has happend to me." Portia explained. "It has happend to many others before us."
"And what's that?"
"Experiments." Portia shuddered. "Awful ones. They will take force-sensitive specimens and perform endless experiments. It is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy." Portia became suddenly cold. Qui-Gon saw the discomfort in her eyes.
"Do you not wish to talk about it?" Qui-Gon asked her with a sympathetic tone to it.
"I need to, to explain Obi-Wan's condition." Portia built up her mental strength to continue. She took her hand and traced it around Qui-Gon's eyes. "His bruises around the eyes are not from lack of sleep. They are from injections that the scientists would give the specimens. It was a halucanant drug, made you see things. The drug was orginally made to make the test subjects feel as if they were in a safe enviroment. But sometimes, something goes wrong."
"What happens?"

Portia hesitated slightly inhaling deeply. She fought back wave after wave of tears. Just thinking about those horrid three weeks of her life. Qui-Gon could sense her obvious discomfort and place a hand on her arm. "Portia. Tell me what happend."
"I was given the same injections as Obi-Wan." She explained. "The drugs were supposed to make me feel as if I was safe and okay. It didn't, it had the reverse effect. It made me see things that wasn't there."
"Like what?" Qui-Gon asked pushing her on. A thought came across Portia.
"Oh no." Portia gasped and faced directly in front of him. "Qui-Gon I think I know what happend. Why he is afraid of you."
"What do you think?" Qui-Gon now gave Portia her undivided attention.
"The drugs side effects makes you see things." She explained. "Things that not necessarily would make you scared off the drugs. You see things from your normal life, but the mirror image."
"The point?"
"The point is Qui-Gon. If Obi-Wan was given the halucanent. He could have seen you. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan may believe that YOU let the scientist do those test on him. And Obi-Wan probably thinks that you will let them do it again."
Qui-Gon stood dumbfounded almost in tears. Portia now was the one that placed the comforting hand on his arm. "What do you think we can do?"
Portia could sense Qui-Gon's eagerness to help her. "I wish I could say that you could help. But if he believes that you work with the scientists. He will probably not let you near him. And since he knows that I have been in the same posistion, he will probably try to protect me as well."
Qui-Gon sighed heavily. "What should I do in the meantime?"
"Prey for your Padawan's health. Hope that he doesn't become worse over time." Portia looked at her chronometer. "It's getting late Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan is expecting me to return tonight." She studied the master's appearance, he looked very tired. "Try to get some rest Qui-Gon."
Qui-Gon was to tired to argue. "I'll try my best. I wanted to apologize to you Portia."
"For what?"
"I was rude and my reasons were unfounded. You were only interested in the well being of Obi-Wan as am I. I am truely thankful for your kindness towards my apprentice." Portia bowed to the master.
"I am only doing what I feel you would do." She let a small smile come across her face. "Let me talk to him, try to convince him that you are not out to harm him."
Qui-Gon began to walk away. "I trust that you will do what you can to help him. Contact me when you get something."
"I will. I promise."
*******
There ya go!

As Portia reached the psychiatric ward she could hear a distant sound of tears. Portia ran into the room and flung the door open and ran to Obi-Wan. "PLEASE LET ME GO! MASTER! HELP ME! PLEASE HELP ME! Portia quickly grabbed Obi-Wan and tried to calm him.
"Obi-Wan. Shhh... It's okay." Obi-Wan was now awake but still discoherent. Obi-Wan sobbed almost violently. "No one can hurt you Obi-Wan. You're safe." Portia could feel Obi-Wan's pulse and breath calm down.
"He...he..." Obi-Wan tried to explain what he saw. "He was going to let them hurt me Portia. My master was going to let them hurt me!" Portia held Obi-Wan tightly to her chest resting her head on his. "My master..." Obi-Wan began to cry again. Obviously confused by the matter.
"Obi-Wan how much do you remember about the lab?" Portia asked hesitantly, not wanting to upset him any further.
"I can only see flash backs. Moments in the lab, nothing more." Portia nodded in agreeance. They had a drug they gave the patients to make them only remember minute details. Nothing more nothing less. "Portia?"
"Yes?" Portia whispered.
"Is Qui-Gon here?" His tone of voice dramaticaly changed. It almost frightend her.
"Why?"
"If he is here, I don't want him near me. I don't trust him Portia, I saw something in him that I would never want to see again."

Also, you have Obi-Wan screaming that his master shouldn't hurt him, and then he says to Portia that his master let the others hurt him. Did he hallucinate about both variations, or just one.
Thanks for pointing that out to me Jane Jinn, as you can see I went back and fixed it. I want to write from Obi-Wan's point of veiw but would that be way too weird going from Portia's POV to his? Well I'll try it later!

Re: Into the Mouth of Madness

No you didn't! Sorry to take so long...but i am in the middle of a party and we figure work on it. so here we go!
Obi-Wan shivered, despite the warmth of the night. How could he? Obi-Wan shivered again. The cold of fear had settled deep into his bones and wouldn't go away. He shivered again. Qui-Gon, he was my Master. And he let them hurt me. He let them do this to me. HE JUST STOOD THERE!!! Obi-Wan shivered again, this time in rage. The fire of desperate anger and pain was burning away the cold fear. I can't let him get away with this, Obi-Wan decided. It's wrong. It disrupts the Balance. I have to make him pay.
Qui-Gon headed back to his quarters. It was late, past midnight. It had been a day that strained his nerves past the breaking point. Obi-Wan seemed a little more stable. But for some reason, he didn't seem to trust him...
He opened the door to his quarters, surprised to find a light on in his room. He activated his lightsaber, "Who's there?" he called softly. Qui-Gon muttered curses in Huttese. Who would be foolish enough to break into a Jedi Masters quarters? "Mace? Portia? Who's there?"
Obi-Wan materialized through the shadows, his arms folded across his chest. "You'll call for them, won't you? You didn't think it was me." In his heart, he was wounded, bleeding, hurt. Qui-Gon had betrayed him. "Poor hurt Obi-Wan. It's too bad he's crazy. He's delusional. But it's okay to let him roam the Temple at night. It's okay to just shove him away like he doesn't matter. You don't need to trust him."
"Obi-Wan, what's wrong?" Qui-Gon asked pleadingly. "Tell me, you can trust me."
The sheer fury in Obi-Wan's eyes was terrifying. "Oh, I can trust you, right, Master? I can TRUST YOU????"
"Why? Why won't you trust me?" Qui-Gon pleaded.
"Sure. You'd like that. But you just STOOD THERE AND YOU LET THEM HURT ME AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO TRUST YOU AGAIN?!?" Obi-Wan shrieked. "Let me tell you something, MASTER. IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!! YOU CAN'T JUST HURT SOMEONE AND THROW THEM AWAY LIKE TRASH AND EXPECT THEM TO TRUST YOU!!!"
Feet were pounding down the hall, and there stood Portia. "Obi-Wan?" she called. "Qui-Gon, what's going on?" She was knocking on the door.
"Obi-Wan, please..." Qui-Gon begged.
No, Obi-Wan thought. He wasn't begging. He was only pretending. "Master?" he asked, with false sweetness. His face contorted into an angry snarl. "I hope you one day know what it feels like to be betrayed by someone you trust. I used to look up to you like you were my father. How could you?" Obi-Wan let Portia lead him away.
Qui-Gon deactivated his lightsaber, defeated, emotionally wounded. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "I'M SORRY!"
