Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Adventures of the Little Green Bear ❯ Wing's Reprieve ( Chapter 2 )

The battle raged on, a naturally tense situation becoming steadily worse as OZ reinforcements arrived. They were outnumbered and out-gunned. Heero's hand reached out for the far-too-familiar infamous button by rote, the natural solution to their problems, then froze.

Swinging gently in its harness, the little green bear looked down at him sadly.

Dimly, Heero heard Duo's voice becoming increasingly frantic over the radio, but he didn't respond. His eyes remained fixed on the bear, which hung still now due to Wing's stillness on the battlefield. Heero pulled his hand back, abruptly setting Wing in motion again.

"Shut up, Duo."

The stream of words came to a sudden halt.

With renewed vigor, Wing swept a path of destruction, assisted by enthusiastic sweeps from Deathscythe's thermal scythe. Duo's voice ordered the other pilots to retreat, his tone carrying an authority that the others were hardly used to and obeyed before they thought. Heero didn't pause to think about how Duo had known his plan. Duo was his partner, nothing more need be said. When they were sure the others had enough of a lead, Wing and Deathscythe also followed,
leaving chaos in their wake.

Climbing down from his gundam at the safehouse, Duo tried to decide which deity he should be offering prayers of thanks. He had been so afraid that Heero would self-destruct. He headed toward Wing, stopping to watch Heero carefully unstrap the little green bear from its harness and hug it close. Suddenly Duo understood.

Whispering to the air, Duo smiled with chagrinned relief. "Thank you, Deadhead...I owe you one."

Okay...not meant to be funny this time, but it is Heero and his little green bear. What can I say?
