   Summary

   It was merely curiosity that led him to this predicament. A stupid idea like many others he ever had that popped up out of nowhere while staring at Mr. Bad Attitude stupid dazed expression long enough to actually start to think he looks cute; He just wanted to see how Zan-Zan will look wearing one of Makira’s rings to save the mental image for later when alone at the comfort of the Raider’s base. How could he have predicted she would choose to get stuck like this!?

   Or, Jabber fucks around and finds more about himself than he could ever want to know.

   Summary

   "GREAT! Just great! As if this could GET any better!" Zanka bites out, seething. Of course he's stuck here, injured, in a damp, dirty cell, and of course he's stuck here with fucking Jabber of all people.

   Jabber whistles appreciatively, "Man, you're in a mood today. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" and cackles at his own joke. Zanka's gonna strangle him. He's gonna rip out those bars with his bare hands and use them to beat Jabber to death.

   or

   Zanka is taken by some people who want to study givers. Jabber is there too. This somehow makes everything both better and so much worse.
