"Because... the same thing... happened to me."
Heero's voice was so quiet that under normal circumstances, neither Duo nor
Wufei would have noticed he'd spoken at all. However, both longhaired pilots
heard him as clearly as if he'd shouted the confession from the roof of the
hospital.
Moving carefully, as if afraid that any sudden actions on his part might cause
Heero to bolt, the American teen subtly tightened his grip on the other teen's
hands and slowly turned bronzed arms to reveal the faint scars he'd known all
along were there. Wufei's sharp intake of breath made it obvious that the
shorter pilot was unaware of their existence. Heero tensed and tried to jerk
free from the gentle grip, but Duo had no intention of letting him go just yet.
In a gentle voice that most would reserve for speaking to a frightened child, he
asked, "Is that where these came from, Hee-chan? Did he cut you, like Trowa was
cut up?"
The Japanese teen tried one last time to free himself from Duo's grasp before
leaning against the wall in defeat. He nodded wordlessly, biting his lip to
keep from whimpering. He hadn't wanted to say anything until after talking to
Trowa, and he was struggling internally to keep from collapsing against his best
friend and sobbing out the whole story. For six months he'd fought to maintain
his heartless facade, and with just a few words and gentle touches the mask was
crumbling. [1]
Wufei sank into the chair closest to his friends, mind reeling. There was no
way in hell that *anything* should have happened to either Trowa or Heero, not
in a safe house! Yet obviously the European beauty had been raped, and it
seemed to the Chinese boi that the Japanese teen had suffered a similar--if not
identical--fate some time ago.
Apparently, someone had had the audacity to follow not one, but two pilots back
to a safehouse and attack them without notice. Only someone skilled in tracking
could have possibly committed the crimes... either that or--
Onyx eyes snapped wide as a chilling possibility crossed his mind. Before Duo
could speak again, the Chinese teen interrupted with a question of his own:
"It was Winner, wasn't it?" The tone was cold, yet Wufei's eyes flashed with a
subdued fury that none of the Gundam pilots had ever seen before.
Heero's head snapped up and he stared at Wufei, cobalt eyes speaking the truth
more clearly than his words ever could. Duo noticed the look and felt a cold
fury of his own drape over his soul. The blond was the only person who'd been
in the same safehouse as Heero six months previously, and had been alone with
the surprisingly fragile teen several times since. Plus, he'd forgotten until
just now that Quatre was supposedly in the Maryland safehouse [2] that had
momentarily been abandoned in the rush to get Trowa to the hospital.
"I'll kill him," the braided pilot snarled, releasing Heero's wrists and pulling
the shaken teen into a careful embrace in spite of his rage. "Fei, there is no
fucking *way*--"
"Agreed," Wufei said, his sudden calm more frightening than his cold fury
moments before. "The four of us will go to the Virginia safehouse, notify the
scientists, and then you and I, Duo, are going on an extermination."

[1] This little note is for anyone who feels that Heero is acting very OOC.
Although in all honesty, I think under the circumstances he has every right to
be a bit more emotional than usual.
[2] I know, I hadn't mentioned where they were until now, I apologize. And the
Virginia safehouse is a nod to my beloved Enigma, who included said safehouse in
his Incredible Edible 5x3x5 series.
