Broken Wing is Meant to Fly

 

Chapter 1

 

Relena was at a conference giving a speech relating to issues that the Colonies and the Earth Sphere have, trying to get both sides to try and understand the other. Nearby Wufei and Heero were looking for intruders invisibly while trying to protect Relena. In the crowd Quatre is listening to the speech while also listening to the crowd. As a former Gundam pilot this was an easy task for him. As he listened he caught a snippet of conversation that sounded threatening and tried to get Heero's attention while using a simple code that the pilots had created.

 

:01 possible threat against Peace after conference:

 

Heero notices this and makes his way to the exit beside the stage and responds to Quatre.

 

:Understood 04:

 

And there he waits and continues his vigil to find the person that is trying to hurt Relena. The conference continues without any further problems and the crowd slowly leaves in an orderly fashion. Relena exits the stage on he right side and meets up with Heero and they start towards the door. Quatre catches up to them after his slow progress through the crowd and pulls Heero away slightly to speak in hushed tones before they reach the elevator.

 

“Heero.”

 

“Yes Quatre what did you see?”

 

“I didn't see anything. I heard part of a conversation mentioning to hit target peace when leaving. I assumed they meant Relena.”

 

“That makes sense alright lets catch up to her so that she doesn't suspect too much.”

 

Relena had noticed that they had fallen back but pretended not to notice. She waited patiently at the elevator for them to catch up.

 

“Hello Quatre. It's been a long time.”

 

“Hello Relena, yes it has been a long time. How has life been since Mariemaia?”

 

“Somewhat quiet.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Really...” And the idle conversation between Quatre and Relena continues into the elevator. When they exited the elevator Relena and Quatre were still making small talk while heading for the front doors with Heero not far behind them. Wufei catches up to Heero in the main lobby after they exit the elevator.

 

“Yuy what did Winner's message say I only caught the last three words?”

 

“Relena might be targeted again.”

 

“Great did Winner see who?”

 

“No, only heard a possible hit.”

 

“Alright be on your guard.”

 

“You don't need to tell me.” Heero and Wufei had fallen even further back by the end of their conversation and were observing everything that was going on within the lobby. By the time they had almost completely crossed main lobby of the building everything still looked normal, except for one gentleman that seemed to be very focused on what Relena was doing, trying to judge if he could hit his target before the Gundam pilots could intervene. It was at the moment that he decided to fire that Heero noticed his movements and went to tackle Relena. At this point everything went into slow motion. The bullet that was aimed for Relena's heart grazed Heero's left temple since he had tackled her. The recoil from the shot sent him flying slightly to the back of Relena and he fell on his right side his hitting the marble floor.

 

“Heeeeeerrrooo!” Relena screamed. And everything was back to its normal speed. She turned around to see where he fell and saw the horrible wound that started near his eye and stretched all the way to his hairline. Quatre, who had been on Relena's right side, was at Heero's side right away ripping the bottom of his shirt to make a pressure bandage to try and staunch the bleeding being careful not to move him too much.

 

Wufei had caught the person that had shot at Relena while he was trying to make his escape and was now leading him to be questioned at headquarters.

 

“Quatre how can I help?” Relena asked.

 

“Hold this bandage to his head I'll call Sally to get him to Preventers Hospital. Keep him warm he's probably gone into shock.”

 

“Ok.” She replied while taking off her coat and wrapping it securely around his upper body and then holding the bandage to his head while softly speaking to him. Quatre fumbled with his phone until he found Sally's number and dialed it. The three rings it took for her to answer were the longest seconds in history.

 

“Sally speaking.” Sally answered.

 

“Sally get down hear now Heero's been shot, while protecting Relena, it's a head wound.” Quatre said to Sally on his phone.

 

“Alright be there in 5 minutes.” Sally replied.

 

True to her words 5 minutes later the whirl of helicopter blades could be heard outside the building and sally came running in with a stretcher. She carefully braced Heero's neck then placed him on the stretcher. Her team then ran to the chopper and flew quickly to the hospital. Relena had insisted to go with him. Quatre started making phone calls to Duo and Trowa to tell them what just happened while heading for Preventers Hospital himself.

 

When the helicopter reached the hospital Heero was rushed to emerge where Sally began to clean and stitch the wound closed then bandage it. Once done she sent him up for a cat scan to see if there could be any other side effects. Half an hour after arriving at the hospital she went to see Relena in the emerge waiting room.

 

“Relena...”

 

“Yes Sally, how is he?”

 

“Physically he's fine except for the small wound on his forehead. But head wounds can be tricky.”

 

“What do you mean by tricky?”

 

“Well...he could have amnesia, partial or complete paralysis, lost of mobility, deafness and blindness or it could be none, some or all of the above or all we really can't say more until he wakes up.”

 

Pure shock was on Relena's face mixed with denial. She was quiet for some time before asking. “Can I see him now?”

 

“Not yet he's still in the CAT scan but when we move him into a room then you'll be able. And don't worry I'll come and get you when we move him.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

“It's alright but now I have to go look after my patient. Relena you should go and get something to eat and maybe some coffee. Don't worry I'll be back to tell you when we move him.”

 

Relena nodded and went back to the waiting room and got Quatre to join her for some coffee. Quatre placed his hand reassuringly into hers as they walked to the cafeteria.

 

“Don't worry everything will be alright.” Quatre assured Relena as they walked, “You know how stubborn Heero is.” but the reassurance fell on deaf ears, Relena had fallen into her own little world and stayed that way until Sally came to take her to Heero.

 

Heero had been set up in a quiet room where he was still unconscious.

 

“Sally how is he?” Relena asked afraid to know the answer.

 

“He has a concussion but that's all the cat scans showed.” Sally replied

 

“So he could still have problems when he wakes up?” Relena asked tentatively.

 

“Yes.”

 

Relena was quiet for a little while before deciding. “I'll stay with him until he wakes up and call you when he does.”

 

“You don't have to Relena.” Sally said.

 

“I know, but I want to.”

 

“Very well. I'll get you a pillow and blanket. He may be out for some time still.” Sally said when Relena looked at her with a question in her eyes. Sally left the two of them alone while she went outside the room to tell Quatre what the situation was in greater detail and to go and get the blanket and pillow.

 

Relena sat by Heero's side watching him breath and seem at peace. People came and went but she didn't notice them she was concentrating only on Heero. She watched as his chest would rise and fall with his breathing always constant and a keeper of Relena's sanity. She had studied his face memorized all it's beautiful curves and angles. All she wished for were to see those hauntingly beautiful Prussian eyes.

 

“Please Heero wake up soon.” She suddenly said after a long time of silence and took Heero's hand in hers before placing her head near his on the bed.
