4. Daniel bit down hard on the gag in frustration, as if he could chew through it by sheer force of will. The silence was all-encompassing, and it was getting to him more than any of the torture their captors had come up with yet. He twisted his hands again, still trying to free them from the leather restraints. The bonds held his hands firmly behind his back, however.

He jerked his head up as the door to his cell creaked open with a defeaning noise. Two guards entered the cell, dragging Jack between them. They let him fall to the floor, still bound and gagged, and left without a word. Daniel held his breath as he stared at Jack. In the dim light, he couldn't tell if the man was breathing. Daniel struggled onto his knees and shuffled towards Jack. He made it almost there before his legs gave out and he slipped forward, landing hard on one of his shoulders with a muffled grunt. He had landed not where he wanted to be. His eyes were staring at Jack's hands, and he didn't have the strength to move any more.

And then, Jack's hands began to move. To form signals. Daniel watched in relief as they quickly let him know Jack was fine, Sam had busted out, and Teal'c was on his way.

5. "Jack?" Daniel followed the muffled thuds he was hearing through the house until he reached Jack's bedroom door. He cautiously pushed the door open and saw Jack standing over his bed, a pillow in his hand. The lights were off in the room, and as Daniel pushed the door further open, a swath of light fell over Jack, painting the planes of his bare chest into stark blacks and whites of shadow and light. "Jack?" Daniel repeated softly.

Jack whirled on him, chucking into a far corner of the room. Daniel watched it fall with worry, and then turned his gaze back to Jack who was striding towards him. Daniel grit his teeth as Jack stepped right into his personal space, and with a firm hand, pressed him against the wall and held him there.

"Don't ever, do anything like that again, do you understand me?" Jack growled. Daniel frowned, confused.

"Jack?"

"When I say get out, that means get out. It doesn't mean try to help every grandmother and child you see along the way. They were trying to kill you, Daniel!" Jack hissed. Daniel scowled.

"I wasn't going to let them hurt the villagers on my account, Jack! You of all people should know that," Daniel snapped.

"Yes, but you didn't have to jump in front of a staff blast to help them!" Jack's hand pressed harder against his chest. Daniel winced as the bandages pulled across his skin. Jack's anger diminished, as if he could tell by the change in Daniel's breathing what he was feeling. Jack's hand curled up on Daniel's chest, and his other hand reached up to cup Daniel's jaw. Daniel glanced at him, startled, and almost knocked his head against the wall when Jack's lips closed over his.

Daniel all but melted against Jack, leaning forward and pressing them from the wall. Jack walked them backwards to the bed, mouth slipping and sliding deliciously over Daniel's. Jack drew back just enough to lower Daniel onto the bed and then sink down on top of him. Daniel grunted as his injury was strained, and grabbed one of Jack's arms just over the wrist. He twisted gently, eliciting a surprised noise from Jack, and flipped them on the bed. Jack landed on his back, staring up at Daniel in amused betrayal.

"I taught you that move," Jack said breathlessly. Daniel grinned. He lowered himself between Jack's legs, pressing their hips together as he propped himself up with his good arm.

"And I'm very glad you did," Daniel said quietly. Jack smiled warmly and cupped the linguist's face between his hands. Daniel lowered himself further and kissed Jack. Nearly all of Jack's lessons were practical, and the ones centered on getting out of holds would prove most entertaining...

Oh, I love the variety of scenarios here!

Hee, thankie!

A little of this...a little of that...a little of them. Brava!
I particularly love the nonchalant way Daniel enters the building after "fighting dirty" *g*

Bwaha! Well, I mean, he spends all day getting shot at, I'd assume a mere mugger would leave no dire mark on his conscience.

XDD *pets*

Lovely. I like how they're in various scenarios, not all life threatening, not all fighting-related. Excellent.

Thank you! I figured all of Jack's black-ops knowledge would come in handy too.

Oh, I just adore #4. And *cough* #5, which I am sure surprises nobody. :-D

XD Just for you, darling.

Every one of these is a delight in its own right! Thank you! :)

Thank you for your kind words. :D
