Heero was walking through the kitchen when he felt the phone on his side begin to vibrate. Clicking the button Heero kept his back turned to the screen as he began cooking the food for the children on the large grill that was in the kitchen.

“Heero, it’s nice to see you again. Despite the fact that it’s just the back of your head.” Heero smirked at the sound of Quatre’s voice.

“It’s nice to hear from you too Quatre. You called me in the middle of making breakfast for the children, so sorry if I can’t turn to look at you at the moment.” The brown haired man said hearing the boy shuffle from over the phone.

“So how are our little clones doing?” Quatre asked suddenly, and instantly he knew that Venus was the one who called him.

“Venus told you about them already, well they’re doing just fine. They want to meet their counterparts though.” Heero said throwing some food onto the plate and turning toward the screen for a moment.

“That’s fabulous; we wanted to meet them too. I’m afraid though that Duo might not be able to make it though he’s engaged you know.” Heero looked at the screen briefly before turning back around and cracking more eggs onto the stove.

“You and Trowa are coming together I assume?” Heero said, ignoring the comment on Duo’s engagement. The image of Quatre blushing madly at his comment popped into his head.

“Well yes, of course. I hope I haven’t caused you too much trouble. I know how much of a pain I could be when I was younger.”

“Actually Alain is getting used to things quite nicely. He keeps asking about his father though, Venus thought we should wait for you to break it to him.”

“Oh, he’s not going to take that too well.” Quatre answered meekly. “And where in the world did he get the name Alain from, I don’t remember being too terribly vain when I was younger.”

“Oh well he didn’t name himself, Tamas name him.”

“Who is Tamas?”

“Trowa’s clone.”

“Oh, how adorable did Alain name Tamas?”

“Yes.”

“Well I suppose I will leave you to your cooking Heero, and we will be there by the end of the week. You can tell us all about the kids then.” Quatre said before promptly hanging up, the screen receding into the ceiling.

That Night: The Medical Center


Heero sat completely still as waited for his clone to awaken, and he was beginning to grow a bit worried. “Wake up please.” Heero mumbled pleadingly as he bowed his head to look at his feet. He didn’t get a chance to see the dark blue eyes of the child panicking as he woke up, the close vicinity of someone so near to him that he didn’t recognize.

Instantly; ice crystals formed around them quickly as they were aimed at Heero. Solo stepped into the room to check on the messy haired boy when he caught the sight the ice crystals preparing to crush him. “Heero!” he yelled a little too late as he reached out his hand. Moments later, blood trickled from Solo’s nose as ice went falling to the ground before the small child passed out.

“Solo.” Heero mumbled, rushing over to the small boy’s side and picking him up. His long hair was in the traditional ‘Duo Braid’; Venus had decided to make it easier for the little boy to take care of. Looking back at the small child who was sitting in the bed looking at what he had created, Heero quickly left the room.

Quickly Heero moved to Solo’s tiny room and laid the boy down carefully. Getting a cool rag he gently wiped the blood off of the boys face. Solo released a small groan, his hand going up to hold his head. “Heero?”

“Yes.” Heero replied softly brushing his hair out of the little clones face.

“You’re alright?”

“Yes, you kept me safe. Thank you Solo.”

“Thank the gods.” The little boy said weakly a tear falling from his face. Brushing the tear from Solo’s face, Heero stood slowly and left the room heading back toward the Medical Center to check on his own little clone.

Stepping inside the room cautiously Heero looked around slowly catching sight of a small boy curled up in the corner with his head on his knees. “Hey.” Heero spoke softly trying to grab the boy’s attention without startling him.

Small blue eyes glanced up cautiously, he looked absolutely terrified. “I didn’t mean to hurt the pretty boy, I was just scared. I’m so sorry, I really didn’t mean to. Don’t tell Odin ok?” Heero watched as the little boy looked close to tears as continued to apologize over and over again. He could remember briefly being just like that, it made his chest tighten at the thought and without noticing it; or thought; he was in front of the child wrapping his arms around him tightly.

“It’s ok. You didn’t hurt him, not at all.” He whispered softly, remembering slightly in his head the first time he had been hugged was after Odin had died. When J had finally gotten a hold of the boy, a young girl who was still very much older than he was, comforting as he cried; it must have been his sister.

“C-can I see him? Make sure that he’s alright?” he asked softly as Heero released him. Putting the messy haired clone down, Heero grabbed the tiny hand in his own and began leading him down the hallway. Once they stopped at Solo’s room Heero knocked lightly before entering.

“Heero!” Solo yelled as he saw the messy haired teen entering the room he quickly jumped up; only to freeze once the sight of the small child hiding behind Heero. “What is he doing here? You shouldn’t be near him he almost killed you!” Solo yelled hysterically, not realizing as the boy behind Heero continued to shrink back slowly.

“Calm down, he came because he thought he had hurt you he wanted to make sure that you were alright. You know how I said you were all clones?” Heero asked getting a solemn nod in reply. “Well this is me.” At this point the little clone was staring up at him in confusion.

“So he’s gonna look like you when he gets bigger?!” Solo said with wide eyes, making Heero release an involuntary chuckle.

“Quite possibly, he just might.” Heero replied with slight humor in his voice, as Solo got shy smile on his face his whole personality changing in an instant.

“I’m your clone?” the tiny boy asked attentively looking up at the boy in front of him unbelievingly.

“Yes.” Heero replied curtly watching as Solo jumped off the bed and ran to his clone’s side clutching at the other boys equally small hand.

“It’s ok, Caleb can stay here with me and I can keep him company while he figures things out.” Solo said with excitement as he basically hung off the short haired boy.

“Caleb?” Heero asked raising his eyebrow at the sudden name drop from the weird little boy.

“Yes, a cute name for a cute boy of course!” at the words the newly name Caleb blushed madly.

“Well, maybe another night Solo. For the moment though Caleb needs to be settled in first.” Heero explained getting a cute pout from the other boy as he continued to give Heero a wide eyed stare. “That’s not going to work this time Solo, it will have to be another night ok?” after a moment Solo finally nodded in reluctantly, as Heero and Caleb bid him goodnight before leaving the room.

Three Week Later


Standing at the landing port of the colony Heero waited for Quatre and Trowa to get off of their shuttle, Wufei had already arrived earlier in the week. As two got off the shuttle and caught the sight of Heero they both moved quickly over to the other boy.

“Hey Heero, how’s life been treating you?” Trowa greeted pleasantly, noting the small smile he got from the usually stoic boy.

“Good, I actually like it here quite a bit.” Heero replied grabbing their bag and leading them into the large field that was set up for the children to play in.

“I see, and it looks like not one penny of the money we’ve donated over the years has gone to waste.” Quatre interjected looking around at the well lit up place, there were happy kids running all around them and playing with different and simple toys.

“They all look so happy.” Trowa mumbled awe struck at the look of so many children that were happy despite having no family.

“They are happy; they have a family someone to relate to them. It feels good you know, to cause some good when we did so much bad.” The mood darkened at the Heero’s words as they stood silently for a moment.

“But it was necessary what we did. We made it possible for this to be created.” Quatre replied, lightening the mood a bit.

“Well it isn’t finished, not as finished as me and Venus want it to be at least.” Heero said softly as he began walking again toward the middle of the large metal separator they had built to keep the other children from getting hurt.

“We had seen this on the outside when we were approaching the colony. What is this?” Quatre asked running his hand along the smooth metal.

“It’s to keep the more dangerous of the children from mingling and hurting the children in here. You know the specially modified kids that were next to be used in the war.” Heero explained solemnly typing in the code that let the door slide open.

“I’m assuming this is where our clones are being held then?” Trowa asked looking around the large homely area.

“Since this is where the single rooms are you can stay here for the time being, sorry we can’t better accommodate you but we’re still working on it like I said before.” Heero explained walking over to one of the room and placing their things on their bed.

“It’s ok, Trowa and I will survive. When can we meet the children?” Quatre said smiling pleasantly.

“Um, now I suppose.” Heero said walking out of the room, the two following close behind him as he lead them through a couple of hallways before they entered another grassy area same as the other side. Only it looked more like a construction site with some of the dirt patches placed all around the area.

Solo ran up to the group once he caught sight of the new people who came into the room and smiled brightly. “Hi! Heero when are we doing swimming lessons?” the little boy started staring at Heero intently.

“Maybe tomorrow, today I have to show my friends around today.” Heero said with a light smile, “Solo, this is Quatre and Trowa. Quatre, Trowa this is Solo, our very own little telepath.”

“It’s nice to meet you Solo.” Quatre said with one of his sweet smiles, Trowa just nodded his head instead of saying anything.

“Where is Caleb?” Heero asked looking in the direction that Solo pointed where the little boy was concentrating on making ice crystals.

“Is that you Heero? He’s absolutely adorable.” Quatre cooed moving over to the boy who was sitting on the ground and glaring angrily at his hands. “Hello little one, my name is Quatre.” Quatre said kneeling so that he was on Caleb’s level. “What are you trying to make?” Quatre asked getting a confused look from the little boy.

“Ice. I can’t do it like before, see?” Caleb held out his hand making a small ball of ice in it. Before Quatre could grab it though it floated out of Caleb’s hand and above his head, a little boy then appeared a moment later examining it closely.

“How you do that?” the other boy asked, as Quatre looked up at the child with wide eyes.

“The same way you just appeared like that.” Caleb replied to Tamas.

“I didn’t just appear I’ve been standing here for a while.”

“I didn’t see you.”

“That’s because you were ignoring me.”

“Was not, you weren’t here!” Caleb stood up and stomped his foot in frustration cause the small lake that was next to him to him to have spikes burst out of it.

“Shut up! I was too here!” Tamas yelled before once again disappearing from sight as he tackled the little boy in front of him. Heero sighed before moving forward and grabbing the little invisible boy off of Caleb as he reappeared again. Quatre had fallen back and was staring wide eyed at the scene before him, and couldn’t seem to make himself move.

“You both want to fight go to your room and stay there.” Heero said putting down Tamas and pointing in the direction of the rooms. Both boys bowed their heads in shame as they began to trudge their way across the field.

“You deal with this often?” Trowa asked raising his one visible eyebrow, only getting a nod in reply.

“Hey! Who froze over my lake?!” an older boy with silver hair down to his bare shoulders yelled.

“Caleb did, he still hasn’t got that under control. Sorry Riku.” Heero replied as he watched the green eyed boy nod before diving back under the water a long blue tail splashing the water as he did so. At the odd look he got from his friends Heero only chuckled and shook his head, “It only get’s weirder.” He said before moving on to find the other two clones that he knew were around somewhere.
