AN: Hope you like this story, I've always liked this idea and decided to write my own.

Disclaimer: Prison Break is not mine, neither is anything you find familiar.

Summary: Riley gets sent to Fox River disguised as a boy. Will anyone figure her out and how long is she going to survive? Michael/OC

"Riley Black, you are hereby sentenced to 30 years at Fox River. Sentence to be carried out immediately".

I grinned as I remembered the look on everyone's faces when the "honourable" judge said that.

I personally didn't think he was all that honourable seeing as he put me in a male prison. Did he not notice the fact that I'm female?

"What are you grinning at?" One of the guards snapped at me, he obviously didn't know how to treat a women. Just because I now look like a boy doesn't mean they have to treat me like one. Actually I probably need toughening up, otherwise I might as well hop into a body bag now.

"Nothing boss" I smirked at him, I was still a little bitter that they chopped my hair off, now the red strands fell into my eyes, and it was very irritating especially when your trying to give someone a death glare but all you can think about is the annoying piece of hair in your eyes.

The bus pulled to a stop, and we were "asked" to hurry our asses up. I know, these people are so polite. I stepped off the bus and stumbled against the person in front of me. Luckily he didn't notice, he was too busy looking around at his new home. He had major ink on him from what I could see, all up him arms were tattoos.

Most of the prisoners didn't even look at us, but some were leaning on the fence looking at us. Hopefully I didn't look as scared and intimidated as I felt, I put on my "mask" and walked forward with the rest of them.

"Black!" One of the C.O's yelled, and gestured for me to follow him. He lead me to the wardens office, where I had to wait for a bit. I could see the secretary looking at me, either having already been informed that I was a girl or she was wondering what I had done to get sent here this early, seeing as I was still in the hideous orange jumpsuit that I was forced into. What can I say? Orange just isn't my colour.

I just stared at her, she got a little unnerved and I felt a bit happy that I could at least intimidate someone in here. Even if it was the secretary.

"Warden Pope will see you now" She said, one of the guards grabbed my arm and walked with me to the door. I felt like a six year old.

"Ahhh, Miss Black take a seat" He gestured to the uncomfortable looking chairs in front of his desk. Even though I would have much rather preferred to stand, I thought I should try to get along with the man who could make my life a living hell for the rest of my sentence.

Once I was seated he frowned at me.

"You've put us in a rather precarious position. We've never had a female inmate before but I hope that you will find yourself safe and comfortable here at Fox River. Now, you'll be given separate shower times, and you'll have your own cell. But I'm afraid you'll have to eat with everyone else and have the same yard time"

That didn't sound so bad, at least I wont have to worry about a cell mate.

"Because you have certain needs that male's tend not to have, you will go to the infirmary to sort that out. I see you also have type one diabetes. You will also get your medical needs while you are there. All the guards and staff have been notified of your situation. Do you have any questions?" He looked at me patiently. It was quite obvious that he was very distressed about my situation.

"Where can I change?" I held up my uniform. He thinks quickly.

"You can change in the staff bathroom, then you'll go to your cell" He nods to the guard behind me and I'm once again walking.

I look at the guards name tag it read "Bellick", he had a firm grip on my arm and I was beginning to lose feeling in it.

"Any tighter and my arm's going to fall off" I told him, he looked down and loosened his grip a little.

"Sorry, I'm used to men. Got to keep a tight grip cause I don't want them causing any trouble" He said gruffly

I made a non-committal noise. I had a bad feeling about this guard, he seemed like someone who I wouldn't get on with.

"Here we are, I'll be right outside so don't try anything" I just shrugged and went inside the cubicle, this will probably be the nicest bathroom I'll see in a long time.

I quickly got out of the horrible orange jumpsuit, there was binding around my chest to keep my boobs down. It was uncomfortable but it was better then being found out. I slipped on the blue trousers, I got to keep my own shoes because they didn't have any in my size. Unfortunately I had to wear boxers, surprisingly they were quite comfortable and fit well. I then slipped on my white under shirt and the blue prison issued shirt.

I stepped out of the cubicle and looked in the mirror. I could fit in as a very scrawny man now. I've just got to get myself a reputation and I'll fit in just fine.

"Hey, are you having trouble. Cause if you want I can help you out" Bellick shouted through the door.

I quickly walked out, and he once again grabbed my arm. He was smirking to himself, apparently he thought he had me scared. He was in for quite a shock, I can take care of myself very well.

We were getting closer to Gen-Pop, I could hear people talking. There was a loud buzzing noise as we were admitted inside. I got dragged up a flight of stairs, and down the landing.

"Open on 41" Bellick shouted, making me flinch. The cell door buzzed as I walked inside. "Good luck" He smiled at me, and suddenly the reality hit me. I was in serious trouble.

"Have fun Sucre you got a new cellie and a new neighbour. Isn't it your lucky day" He then lent close to my cell door and whispered "You might want to work on your voice, it's a bit high for a man" With that he left, and I sat on my bed.

The next day I was out in the yard, when I spotted the guy I bumped into yesterday. He was speaking to a Latino man, they were then joined by some other cons. I looked away towards the rest of the yard. It was nothing special but it looked like everyone had their place.

Now all I had to do was find where I fit.

I walked towards the bleachers, I was quite calm for someone in my situation. I made sure that I looked confident, and I all but strutted towards my destination. I walked to the top and sat. It felt nice to just sit and look around. There was a nice breeze but that just made my hair annoy me. So I ran my hand through it, and sighed.

I was then joined by someone. I looked over and saw him look me up and down, I immediately felt uncomfortable and wanted to move. But instead I held my ground.

"Can I help you with something?" I asked, I made sure my voice was low but natural. I could only hope that he didn't notice anything wrong with me.

He smirked at me. "Just wanted to introduce myself" He said with a southern accent. "The names T-Bag" He then looked around the yard, then back at me.

"Riley" I wouldn't let it show but I was intimidated by him.

"Well Riley, what brings you to this part of the woods?" His eyes held a predatory look and I resisted the urge to run.

"Just wanted to sit" I raised my eyebrows at him, wanting to know if he wanted something or not.

"Now, now no need to look at me like that. I'm not gonna do anything, just wanted to know if you wanted to join our family. A fights coming and no offence but you look like you need all the help you can get" I looked at the "family" they were all white. So I assumed this was a race vs race thing.

"Well no offence but I don't think I want anything to do with your war or your family" He looked angry, then looked amused.

"Well Red, I'm sorry but as soon as you walked through those doors you were involved" He put his arm around my shoulders.

"I can take care of myself" I then removed his arm from around my shoulders. "Thanks for your offer though" I then walked off the bleachers. As I did so I saw a man sitting at a table, his hair slicked back, watching the two of us. He saw me looking and nodded. He then glared at T-Bag.

I think it's safe to say that those two aren't the best of friends.

Yard time was over, we were escorted back to our cells. I sat down but it wasn't for very long, before I heard.

"Open on 41" I looked up and saw a different guard. "Black infirmary" I slid off my bunk and walked after him.

Once we reached the infirmary, I finally meet Dr. Tancredi. She smiled as she saw me enter, I returned the smile, I could tell that we were going to get along just fine.

"Hello Riley, my name is Sarah Tancredi. But you can call me Sarah. Now if you could take a seat" I did as I was told. She told the guard to wait outside.

She rolled up my sleeve, I could tell she was a bit mystified by my tattoo. It was a quote on the inside of my wrist that said "Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is it's twin brother" it was quite small, you would have to squint to read what it says.

"Nice tattoo" She said while injecting me with insulin.

"Thanks" I thought about when I got it, it was to uphold my spirits when I was in a bad place. I was snapped out of my memories by Sarah asking me something.

"Sorry?" I asked, she smiled at me again.

"I said how are you holding up?" She looked genuinely concerned.

"As well as I can" I replied.

"Well, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for your situation, and if there's anything you feel you need to talk about or if someone is treating you poorly, I am here" I smiled, it felt good to know that someone cared.

"Thank you, I'll keep that in mind" I was then cuffed again and led back to my cell. I saw the tattoo guy again, he must be going to the infirmary as well. He watched me walk away, and I tried my best to act natural.

"Open on 41" I lay on my bed, shut my eyes and listened to everyone talking.

I must have fallen asleep cause the next day came quickly. It was chapel day, and as I sat in a pew, I saw the death row inmates scattered about.

I listened to Chaplain's words "The son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinners and be crucified. And on the third day rise again. And they remembered his words and so should you. Good day gentlemen, and let God be with you"

I stood up waiting to be led back to my cell, when I saw tattoo guy go up to a death row inmate. I could hear what they were saying,

"Michael?" The inmate said, so that's his name, now I can stop calling him tattoo guy. They just stood there for a minute before he said "Why?"

But that was all I heard as I was hurried along by Bellick. Once I was in my cell, I started sketching. I found that this relaxes me so I drew my cell.

"Scofield get it together. Pope wants to see you" I looked up and a C.O walking past with tatto- I mean Michael following. Interesting, he was my neighbour.

Apparently it was visitation, and I was told this would be when I would shower. Seeing as it was very unlikely for anyone to visit me and no one would notice if I wasn't there.

"Okay you got twenty minutes" C.O Pattinson, was the one to take me today. Thankfully, because I would not feel comfortable with Bellick.

I quickly showered, I didn't feel very comfortable in there. It was very open and apparently I was becoming paranoid.

I walked out feeling very refreshed, Pattinson grabbed my arm and led me back to Gen-Pop, I joined the line of people coming back from visitation, I saw Scofield in the line. It was tier time so all the cells were opened so I followed Scofield up the stairs and watched him walk into his. Then I walked into my own.

I wasn't alone for very long, because I had a visitor. It was the man I saw glaring at T-Bag.

He leaned on the side of my cell.

"I heard that you said no to T-Bag" He said, in a European accent.

"What of it?" I asked, standing up.

"Nothing, it's just not many new fish say no to him"

"Guess I'm not just anyone" He smirked at me.

"I'm John Abruzzi" He held out his hand

"Riley Black" I shook it

It was yard time, and this time I stayed away from the bleachers. I instead leaned against the fence near the phones. I saw Abruzzi on the phone, he looked troubled. I looked the other way and nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw T-Bag next to me.

"So Red been thinking about my offer. Are you ready to crawl back now?" He raised his eyebrows.

"No thanks, I'm still good" He looked like he didn't like that answer, and moved closer to me.

"Are you sure Red?" I smirked at him, and moved backwards away from him.

"Pretty sure" He smirked back and walked away, back to the bleachers.

I saw Abruzzi and some of his "goons" start walking towards Scofield, and I started getting curious, so I walked closer. By the time I got there one of his goons had hit Scofield in the stomach. Scofield then hit Abruzzi in the face. I just stood there shocked, this was the first prison fight that I had witnessed. The two men then took turns hitting him until a guard tower CEO shot at the ground.

I quickly dropped to the ground, the C.O's ran in and I saw Abruzzi being forced down. Yard time was obviously over.

It was visitation again, so that meant shower time for me. I let the water run over me, it felt good, relaxing.

I knew I only had twenty minutes so I hurried. Bellick was escorting me today and he just couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"So, how's life in here?" He asked.

"As good as it can be" I replied, keeping my eyes forward. I still hadn't changed my opinion of him. In fact it just got worse and worse.

"You know I can make your life much more easier" He ran his hand up and down my arm.

"You know I can sue for sexual harassment" I smirked at him, while he looked angry.

"Open on 41" I laughed quietly, someone didn't take rejection very well. I looked down and saw T-Bag looking up at me. I knew someone else who was like that as well.

"Open on 41" I looked up from what I was sketching, a half finished picture of T-Bag. So far I had sketched basically anything I could. And I was now moving on to people, I had discovered that I was actually pretty good, and my drawings were quite lifelike.

"Open on 40" I was a bit confused now.

"Both of you infirmary" Now I understood. I glanced at Michael when we walked together, and found him looking at me like I was a puzzle piece.

We had soon reached the infirmary, and today I was treated by the nurse. She was very nice and sympathised with my situation, but I couldn't help but like Sarah better. I was soon finished and walking back to Gen-Pop with Scofield.

I was once again leaning against the fence when Abruzzi once again came up to me.

"How would you like to make some extra cash?" He asked.

"I'm quite happy being penniless, and left alone" I started moving away when he grabbed my arm.

"You might want to be more careful with how you speak to people around here Fish" He warned me.

I just smirked at him and walked, he walked next to me.

"I admire your courage and that's why I want you on my side"

"And why am I required to take sides?" I stopped, and looked around the yard. I saw Scofield talking to someone, it looked like they were doing some business. I tilted my head to one side and looked back to Abruzzi.

"Because it makes your like a whole lot easier" He then walked away, leaving me to my thoughts.

Back in my cell I heard Bellick say.

"Scofield! I don't know what you did but Abruzzi wanted me to give you this P.I. card. Congratulations, you just joined the ranks of the employed"

That got me thinking. What the hell is P.I.?

AN: Soooo! Tell me what you think. I tried to do the whole episode but some bits I obviously couldn't because Riley isn't in the group yet. So that was the first chapter the next one should be up soon.
