The moonlight spread like a silver veil over the earth, shining cold and quiet.

Gulag Camp. 

The prison was a fortress of despair, wrapped in towering electrified fences

and swept constantly by blinding searchlights. Soviet soldiers marched along

every corridor and checkpoint, rifles in hand, their presence suffocating. It was

the kind of place whispered about in fear—a place that swallowed men whole,

where once you entered, you never left. 

And yet, inside a room on the top floor of the main compound, Jack Kadere

stood calmly by the window, hands in his pockets, staring down at the open

yard below as if he were observing nothing more than a casual playground.

A month ago—right after Element Woman, Emily Sung, had left them—they had

relocated here. Their old hideout, with its blown-out villa wall, wasn't worth

fixing, and the inevitable arrival of the Legends of Tomorrow meant their old

base wouldn't stay hidden for long. So, moving into Gulag Camp, a so-called

hell on earth, seemed almost logical. 

For Jack and his allies, this wasn't a prison. It was simply a larger villa.

Whatever they asked for, they received: food, books, equipment. The guards

bowed to their whims. 

The Firestorm project's laboratory was here as well. Dr. Valentina Vostok had

practically made it her second home, burying herself in experiments day and

night. Meanwhile, Kate was obsessed with perfecting her interrogation

techniques. With prisoners on hand, progress came quickly. Jack had peeked

in on a few sessions when boredom struck. Kate's once sharp and decisive

demeanor was transforming into something colder, crueler… almost regal in

her dominance. 

Everyone had their own distractions. Everyone but Jack.

Though it was said that books contain houses of gold and beautiful women,

Jack found little thrill in them now. After skimming the fundamentals of

physics and electronic engineering, the initial fire of curiosity had fizzled. He

was restless. 

Bang! Bang! Bang! 

A sharp knock broke the silence. 

"Come in," Jack replied, turning from the window. 

Two Soviet soldiers entered, escorting a familiar face—Laura. 

"You two, leave us," Jack ordered with a flick of his hand. The guards obeyed,

closing the door behind them. 

Laura had been stuck with them since Gulag became their new base. She

hadn't gone with Emily Sung and had nowhere else to escape. Jack hadn't

cared much; Valentina arranged a single cell for her, and that was that. Truth

be told, if Kate hadn't mentioned Laura today—casually, during a rare moment

of conversation—Jack might have forgotten she was even there. 

Now, standing before him, Laura looked far different from the determined

woman he'd once met. Dressed in clean but plain prison clothes, her face was

pale, her confidence eroded. The heroic spirit that had once burned in her eyes

seemed to have been extinguished, replaced with something dull and broken.

Jack smirked faintly. So much for a shining superhero. 

He stepped forward. Laura instinctively shrank back, eyes wide with unease.

"Don't move," Jack growled lowly. 

Laura froze. "Wh-what do you want from me?" she asked, voice trembling.

"What do you think?" 

Jack pushed Laura onto the bed, her body bouncing on the mattress as she

landed. She immediately tried to scoot away, but Jack grabbed her ankles,

pulling her back toward him. 

"No... Jack... Please..." she begged, her voice filled with uncertainty.

Jack sneered, his hands roaming her body, squeezing her breasts roughly.

Laura gasped, her body arching into his touch, betraying her even as her mind

screamed for him to stop. 

"Please... Jack... Don't do this..." she whimpered, her voice torn between desire

and disgust. 

Jack ignored her protests, his hands slipping underneath her prison uniform,

finding her naked flesh. Laura's breath hitched, her body tensing as he began

to explore her intimately. 

"It's too much... Jack... It's too much..." she panted, her voice filled with

conflict. 

Jack growled, his fingers finding her entrance, slipping inside to feel her

already wet and ready. Laura moaned, her hips bucking against his hand,

seeking more friction. 

"See, you little slut... You want this..." Jack taunted, his voice laced with

contempt. 

Laura bit her lip, tears streaming down her cheeks. "No... It's not... It's not

true..." she sobbed. 

Jack smirked, positioning himself at her entrance. "Your body doesn't lie,

Laura. It's time to admit the truth." 

He surged forward, filling her completely in one brutal thrust. Laura cried out,

her body convulsing as she was torn apart by his girth. 

"Jack... it hurts... It hurts so much..." she whimpered, her body tensing as she

adjusted to his size. 

Tap. Tap. Tap. 

The sharp rhythm of high heels rang from the corridor outside. Valentina

Vostok, face alight with excitement, hurried toward Jack's quarters. But before

she reached the door, she paused. The muffled cries from inside made her

slow her steps. 

That's not Kate's voice… Valentina thought. And it's not one of the other female

prisoners—he never touched them. That must mean… ah, Laura. 

She hesitated briefly at the threshold before pushing the door open. 

Jack glanced up at her with a frown. "Something wrong?" 

"Yes," Valentina replied quickly. "Just as you predicted, the Legends have

arrived. We've captured Martin Stein, Mick Rory, and Ray Palmer."

Jack's smirk widened. "Finally. Took them long enough. Keep them

comfortable for now—I'll be there shortly." 

"Don't take too long." Valentina's eyes flicked toward Laura, still shaking and

tear-streaked. She shook her head slightly in puzzlement. Knowing what would

happen to her, why didn't she try to escape earlier? Are all American superheroes

this reckless? 

Jack leaned back lazily. "This won't be quick." 

Valentina hesitated only a moment longer before adding, "One more

thing—Vandal Savage is here too." 

With that, she turned sharply and left, the sound of her heels echoing away

down the corridor. 

Jack began to move, his hips slamming into her, setting a punishing pace that

had Laura crying out with each thrust. Her body continued to convulse, her

orgasms forced upon her, unwanted yet undeniable. 

Laura's mind screamed in protest, but her body betrayed her, meeting each

thrust with equal fervor, seeking more friction, more pleasure. She tried to

push him away, to fight back, but her limbs refused to obey her commands.

As Jack reached his peak, Laura's body tensed, her own release building

rapidly within her. With a final, brutal thrust, Jack came undone, his cock

throbbing inside her as he filled her with his hot cum. 

Laura's body convulsed one last time, her orgasm ripping through her,

unwanted yet undeniable. As they collapsed onto the bed, panting and

sweat-soaked, Laura's mind raced, her thoughts filled with shame and

confusion. 

An hour later, silence settled. 

Jack dressed, glanced at Laura's shaken form, and chuckled softly. "I'll be

leaving here soon. Think carefully about whether you want to come with me."

Laura didn't answer, but her dull eyes flickered faintly at his words.

Bang! 

The door shut behind him as Jack left. With a casual wave, he ordered a guard

to lead him to the Legends. 

...

Interrogation Room 

Jack pushed the heavy door open and walked in. 

The scene was grim: Atom and Heat Wave were strung up, convulsing under

electrocution, while Vandal Savage and Valentina worked to pressure Martin

Stein into giving up the Firestorm matrix. 

"Quite lively in here," Jack drawled, smiling as he stepped inside. "I'm not late,

am I?" 

"Jack Kadere?!" 

"Why are you here?" 

"Finally! Did Sara send you? Are you here to save us?" 

The three Legends were shocked at his sudden appearance. Their despair

quickly turned into hope. Despite past disagreements, Jack had worked with

them before—and Sara's close connection to him gave them reason to believe

he was here on their side. His strength was overwhelming; freeing them would

be no effort at all. 

But before their hope could fully take root, they noticed something unsettling:

Savage and Valentina looked completely calm. No one sounded alarms. 

"You arrived right on time," Vandal Savage said with a sly grin. "This stubborn

old man is all yours." 

"Sure," Jack replied casually, smiling. 

The Legends froze. What? Did he just agree with Savage? 

"How… how does it sound like they're working together?!" Atom stammered. 

"You—" Atom started furiously, but Jack simply raised a finger. 

Zzzzt! 

A surge of current—far stronger than the electrocution before—slammed into

Atom, forcing a strangled cry from his throat. 

"These two are useless," Jack said with an almost bored tone. "Let them go." 

"Let them go?" Savage arched an eyebrow. "Are you sure? Without them, Stein

may not be so willing to cooperate." 

"Oh, he will," Jack said with a bright, knowing grin. His eyes fixed on Martin

Stein. "Isn't that right, Professor?" 

Martin Stein hesitated, caught between fear and calculation.

Was Jack truly aligned with Savage—or playing some deeper game? Still, if Rory and Palmer

were released, that gave them a chance. Swallowing hard, Stein nodded. "If

you release them, I'll cooperate." 

"See? Simple," Jack said, clapping his hands together with a mock

cheerfulness. 

Savage exchanged a glance with Valentina, who gave a faint nod of

agreement. 

"…Fine. Release them," Savage ordered. 

Within moments, Atom and Heat Wave were unbound and dragged out of the

Gulag camp—thrown into the cold night with nothing but uncertainty about

Jack Kadere's true intentions.
