The Oubliette Series: Steel Intentions

HERE IS MY DISCLAIMER: I don't own these characters, I don't make any money off my stories, and it's all for the love of it!


The alarm clock sounded with fervent beeps rousing Daniel from sleep. He sighed half wishing he could turn it off and roll over returning to slumber. He thought about it for several moments staring at the ceiling. It was Saturday and he didn’t have to be at the SGC but he had resolved to mow that jungle that was now rising up around his house. Jack had wondered quite verbally why he didn’t just pay someone to cut it. Daniel had considered doing so but he just had to do it himself. He had never had his own lawn to cut so he felt obligated to do so. He did miss his apartment at times. It had been perfect for him, the new accommodations were nice but it wasn’t the same as the cozy little loft he once had. The only thing he really liked about this house was having the lawn.

Finally with a last motivating urge he rolled over feet smacking the floor as he strolled into the bathroom. Minutes later after washing up and changing into an old pair of blue BDU pants and white mucleshirt he headed to the kitchen.

Coffee was the first thing required before doing any kind of mission even housework he drank a cup quickly. He washed out the mug placed it in the drainer and made his way outside.

Daniel pushed the new mower he had gotten months before out of the garage after a quick check of the gas level he shoved off making neat patterns in the grass as he circled round and round. The sun had come out shortly after he had started strengthening his decision to have gotten an early start. He didn’t see the black sedan approaching as it pulled to the edge of the lawn. Two men in dressy casual who gave every sign that they were on their way to an afternoon of golf peered through open windows they sat watching him a few moments until Daniel looked over in acknowledgement. The driver motioned with hopeful waves encouraging him to come over.

Daniel smiled cutting the mower off and walked over. “Lost?” He asked

The man smiled nodding as the passenger got out gripping a map in his hand. He came around the car to Daniel “We are looking for the South End Golf Center…Do you know where it might be?” He said stepping up next to Daniel.

Daniel thought a moment. He hadn’t heard of it before. Did Colorado Springs even have a golf course? Jack or Teal’c would know they had been golfing together off and on for several years. Daniel suddenly felt very uneasy as the man stepped again towards him.

A hard object was placed into his ribs, as the man smiled brightly “Get into the car Dr. Jackson let’s not make a scene.”

Damn, Daniel thought. He looked around at the neighborhood. Several other people were in their yards doing various chores but none seemed to be paying them any attention. Daniel considered the options. Should he make a move or just comply? He finally nodded as the man indicated the back door with another poke at his ribs with the hard object, which most likely was a gun.

Daniel opened the door stepping in as the man closed it behind him. The second man had a gun trained on him waiting as the other man walked around to the passenger side once more. Safely inside he pointed his gun at Daniel and the driver pulled away.

“So..where we going?” he asked finally smiling. He figured putting on a good front would help. Who knows who had planned this? They didn’t look like the worked for The Trust.

The men were quiet. He sat back didn’t think he would get an answer but it was worth a try. Suddenly the passenger turned around pointing a gun at him.

“Whoa…was it something I said?” Daniel asked pulling back.

The man smirked pulling the trigger as a dart impacted Daniel in the chest. It was a dart gun. Great, Daniel thought. As the drugs kicked in he slumped over.


Daniel opened his eyes slowly as they began to focus. He couldn’t see anything as his eyes strained. Nothing. It was complete darkness. He was lying on his side on a tile floor. His heart jumped at the familiarity. Oubliette? He wasn’t sure as he sat upright. He wasn’t restrained and that was very unusual. He reached behind him for a wall and came in contact with it quickly. He leaned against it taking in his surroundings which wasn’t easy due to the absolute lack on illumination. His clothes were still intact. Another shocker. He had been so distracted thus far he just now noticed the metal rings around his wrists. Hmmm, he thought. What are those? They looked like metal bracelets of some kind. Not really heavy or painful. He felt his ankles and sure enough they too had the metal cuffs. Different.

He got on all fours and tentatively began to crawl along the floor reaching with one hand in front of him waiting to encounter another wall. He stopped as this hand rubbed against a cold surface. Bingo. He turned right and repeated the process trying to get a feel for its size. A few minutes later he was finished and leaned against a wall. If he was correct he would guess it was about the same size as the gate room. Next thing on the list was to find the door. There had to be one along the cool smooth walls. He stood up taking a deep breath he walked carefully along the wall running his fingers along its surface as he went. No creases or hinges gave way to an entrance as he moved along the each side.

He slumped back down after searching once more along the walls he then turned to crawling along the floor feeling for some sort of trap door. The same results greeted him. Nothing. How could that be? The ceiling? He sighed. If that were the case he wouldn’t be able to reach it. He shook his head. Oubliette of course, an Oubliette was a dungeon. He was below ground a cellar of some kind. He sat in the darkness now exhausted pondering how long she was going to keep him down there this time. This wasn’t like her to leave him alone. Well as far as he knew which really wasn’t that much. Beads of sweat were starting to form along his temple he wondered if the temperature was raising or it was just his imagination. The heat jumped higher and higher by the minute as he sat against the wall. He lifted the edge of his shirt wiping his brow and face as he started to wonder. Had someone decided it would be fun to watch him die in the sweltering heat? He started to get light headed and removed his soaked shirt tossing it aside. Red marks on his skin started to appear. Heat rash? He sighed as his eyes became heavy they closed slowly as he passed out landing alongside the wall.


Daniel woke bolting upright. He looked around into the darkness. The heat had gone and the room was cool once more. Nice, he thought someone’s idea of a joke? He felt around for his shirt in the dark coming across the still damp garment he pulled it closer. His wrists hurt and he rubbed at the metal cuffs.

He stood debating on the next move. Move, yeah right. Like he had one. He leaned against the wall. The wall hummed vibrating against his skin. What the? He spoke into the dark. Without warning the cuffs clung to the wall and he couldn’t move. He struggled jerking back and forth. It was no use. So, that was that plan for those nifty little guys.

He looked out in the dark waiting. It was almost like he could feel her nearby.

Air rushed along the room caressing him softly. Had something opened? He paused trying to listen. Hushed noises teased him from beyond. He strained to hear more. Was someone coming?

He pulled again at the cuffs attempting movement but was unsuccessful.

“Are you unhappy with your accommodations Daniel?” she asked stepping toward him. As she did a light flooded them both from overhead as if on cue. She smiled dangerously.

He nodded towards her but said nothing. Her heels clicked on the tile as she approached. Daniel was surprised at her clothing. She wore an evening gown of black that wrapped gently around her shoulders. It was slinky but far more formal then the attire she had worn the previous times he had been brought before her. Modest Diamond earrings hung from her ears with a simple matching necklace around her neck. She looked as though she had left a party to see to him.

“I wished to see you…” she said stepping from the light for a moment then returning with a chair. She sat down crossing her legs eyeing him. “I have to admit something though...” she sighed sitting back “I waited so long to see you because I was angered about something. After our last encounter I wished to know more..more about you…your past your life. Usually those things don’t interest me. What I discovered disturbed me.”

Daniel looked at her unwavering. What did she know?

“I have to admit it wasn’t easy…it took some time..and more money to get the info I wanted. But I have my ways. I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Other world’s…gateway…aliens. Amazing. But you…” she smiled “You are what blew me away. Tortured more times then one could count even been dead…well sorta..not sure about what really happened to you. How can a girl compete with all that?” she grinned.

Daniel had no idea who had sold her that information. He wasn’t surprised someone within The NID or other factions could of done it. It didn’t matter.

Sloane rose from her chair coming to him. “I suppose I was feeling a little angered by these revelations for the first time I was at a lost. It made me uneven.” She ran a fingernail along his chest leaving slight marks. “I’m not one to retreat into the sunset. I still think we can accomplish what I set out to do with you.”

Sloane slipped the gown from her shoulders letting it slip to the floor. Her strapless bra and underwear were also black. She smiled as she placed the evening gown on the chair.

“Did you enjoy the heat wave I provided for you?” she asked “I thought it might remind you of your time in the jungle. Did they torture you everyday?

Daniel looked at her slight anger flashing in his eyes. “Yes…” he replied

She smiled “Did you secretly relish those moments..when the electricity flowed through your skin…dancing along your spine? Did you feel more alive? Did you beg for more when they struck you?” she asked

Daniel grunted looking at her. Enjoy it? Was she kidding? They had almost killed him. He didn’t think that was enjoyment. Did she think she knew something he didn’t?

“I know what you are thinking…” she said leaning against the wall next to him. She traced his skin with her tips. “You are thinking how you couldn’t possible enjoy just treatment. You are right and you are wrong.”

She smiled again leaving him and strolling into the darkness once more. Daniel sighed unsure at her next move.

Her heels announced her presence again as she came back into the light. “I brought a gift.” She said showing him the small dagger in her palm. Do you like it?”

Daniel looked at the small blade in her hand. The handle was silver and carved with some sort of ornamental design. He couldn’t tell what it was…but it didn’t matter at that point.

She took his reaction in with a grin. “I thought you might find it interesting…I searched it out just for this encounter.”

The blade licked his skin as she ran it along his chest lightly. He remained still unflinching. He wouldn’t give her the satisfaction he couldn’t. The edges were quite sharp as she teased him with it running it up torso to his neck. She moved to his body pressing into him. “I love to watch you follow it with your eyes…waiting for it to pierce your flesh..you know it’s coming…” she breathed into his ear. The blade stung his arm as she cut into him leaving a tiny prick. Small trickles quickly decorated the opening. Daniel bit back a reaction. She traced the blade again along his skin moving it gracefully as it looked for a new target. It struck again biting into his chest. His heart rate racing as she moved it. The tiny cuts soon appearing along his upper body as she moved. Daniel used all his resistance to make no sound.

“Daniel..do you feel it?” she asked “Feel that sensation of intensity? Will I cut too deep? Will it slip?” she whispered as she ran the blade alongside his face. Droplets of blood began to run into each other as she increased the number of cuts with each strike.

Sweat mixed with the blood adding to the mix. He cringed at the increasing pain. He couldn’t keep it from her long. He pulled all his will into staying focused.

Sloane smiled “I am impressed Daniel..you’ve had such an amazing control over your pain…” she let the dagger slip onto the floor taking his mouth with her own he resisted her advances at first not wanting to give her an edge. She licked his lipped and nibbled as she kissed and his mouth responded taking her into his. They remained locked in the embrace for a time then she pulled away retrieving the blade from the tile. “Do you like the cuffs?” she asked turning to him once more “I had them made just for you. I love how smooth and precise they are…keeping you just in the right spot.” She sighed, “Although there is a drawback…limited movement. I rather like watching you squirm.”

Daniel considered asking her to release him but quickly dismissed it. He knew she enjoyed watching him helpless against the wall despite what she said. She leaned against the wall next to him resting her head against her arm as though they were in bed cuddling on a lazy Sunday morning. She traced the dagger along his skin with a sigh.

“You know Daniel our encounters have been quite fruitful for me…usually when I take a subject in they are not quite as fascinating as you. Then again most of them haven’t been dead..or explore the universe. It changes the whole scale of things”

He watched the dagger now closely waiting for her to use it again. He could feel her anticipation of future strikes into his flesh. She observed her handy work from the previous round hunting for fresh territory. The cold metal tapped at his neck and he held his breath. Sloane savored the reaction shifting closer to him until their bodies were within intimate contact. Her unoccupied hand sliding under the band of his slacks she pushed them down as far as they would go.

Daniel bit back a response as she immediately teased his cock to life. His legs now exposed left gave her a new playground. The metal toy made its mark again and again on his thighs while she favored him with mouth and fingers. Her cutting became erratic and a deep gash appeared. Daniel groaned as blood seeped from his wounds his body was a mixture of pain confusion and excitement that charged his groin.

Sloane released him she slipped her underwear off in haste she touched a small button on the necklace she had been wearing and Daniel pulled from the wall. He stood in shock at his sudden freedom unsteady with the overwhelming stress evoked in his body.

Sloane came to him once more “You have a choice Daniel..you can fight me or bring your self over the edge with me…”

Daniel ached for release her body calling to him. His silence was her answer she smiled coming to him. He lifted her up onto him as she greeted his mouth hungry. He slammed against the wall and she cried out with the force as she contacted it then moaned with pleasure at his forceful thrusts and heated compulsion.

His climax shook his body as she dug into his skin. He cried out with surprise the anguish it had caused as her nails dug in deeper she released a breathy gasp coming in his wake.

Their exhausted bodies slid to the floor. Daniel closed his eyes willing it to be over the confusion the intensity that engulfed him as he sat upright against the wall. Sloane was silent as she rose. Her bra had been torn she removed it tossing it over her shoulder and reclaimed her dress from the chair. She easily molded it over her frame once more. Daniel stood watching her every movement. He picked up his pants from the floor where he had kicked them aside sliding them on. He took a step toward her she didn’t hesitate as she pressed the button he grunted as the wall reclaimed him.

She shook her head at his actions. “I surely hope you did not think I would let you move about…”

Daniel half shrugged in response. She smiled walked over to him in his helpless state once more. “I guess this means I am going to sleep?” he asked

Sloane let out a regretful sigh “You are correct….I must leave…you will be escorted back home shortly, of course before you are…” she stepped once into the dark returning with a syringe.

Was someone watching…waiting for her needs in the dark? Daniel thought as she expertly inserted it into his veins. “Till next time..” she said as her voice trailed off “It is a shame it will be the last..”

“ Last...?” He tried to voice the word but it slurred into nothing as he fell into sleep.

Daniel awoke in a slow moving haze. His eyes sill fuzzy as the room came into focus. He was in his own bedroom resting on the bedspread. He sighed looking over to his alarm clock. It was slightly after 11 pm he had been gone all day. He debated leaving the comfort of his own bed as it soothed his torched body. He convinced himself to shower before returning to it.

The bathroom mirror revealed the smaller scabbed cuts that now decorated his flesh. Most were of little consequence but the larger ones on his thigh burned, as they not as yet scabbed over. The cold water was a welcoming sensation he drowned out the nagging thoughts under the spray. He struggled to push Sloane from his mind as the red tinged water swirled down the drain.
