Peace Children Chapter 9

"Okay, now that we all know what happened to Hilde," Wufei said, "I would like to know what's going on with Trowa, Heero, and that girl, Kali." Here, he turned to Hilde. "But, before we do, we need to get some ice for your head."

"I'll go get some," Duo volunteered. Heero didn't want to be left almost alone in this room with only one person he knew, but Duo was out of the door before he could say anything.

Odin came over to Heero's bedside. "Are you okay?" he asked. Odin had noticed his "son's" apprehension at the disappearance of the braided boy and decided to try to take his mind off of it.

"No," Heero answered simply. He looked at Odin with big crocodile tears in his eyes. The others were all crowded around Hilde, so he allowed a few to fall. "I feel like someone tore a huge chunk out of my soul. I can't feel her and it hurts so much."

Odin gathered Heero up in his arms as the boy started to sob. "I know, baby, I know." he said as he sat them back down on the bed.

Thoughts were flashing through Heero's mind. Him and Kali at their 5th birthday party. The two of them running from Collector's the first time they were almost caught. Kali being sick with the flu, almost dying with it. Their first day at their first school when they were ten. Odin had home schooled them before then. Kali had been so excited. Several other memories flashed through Heero's mind until he came to the last one. "I don't have much time..." she had said. "...I love you."

"I love you," Heero whispered into Odin's chest. "Always and forever." He raised his head away from the embrace to find five pairs of eyes staring at him, even Duo's.

Duo had come back into the room just in time to catch the tail end of Heero's little performance. "Did all of you just see what I saw?" he questioned the others, not sure if he wanted confirmation or not. If they had, it meant he wasn't crazy; but if they hadn't, it meant that his and Heero's bond was that much stronger.

"Yes," Wufei said. He turned to Heero. "What was that?"

"You mean, you guys saw that?" he asked. Five heads nodded. "I was just thinking of Kali. I wasn't doing anything except remembering her."

"So that wasn't intentional?" asked the boy that before tonight had never said more than a dozen words a day. "You didn't mean to do that?" Heero shook his head 'no'. "That's... interesting."

"Why?" asked Quatre, interested enough to momentarily forget his dislike of Heero.

"Because only high-level prophets can project images like he just did, and none can without trying." Trowa looked at Heero solemnly. "You're much stronger than I thought."

Kali had finally reached Zech's house. She got out of her "borrowed" car and walked to the front door. Before she could ring the bell, the door flew open.

"Katherine, it's so good to see you again!" a blonde girl screamed, throwing herself at Kali. "Is Keifer with you? Zechs would be so happy to see him. He's been so depressed since you guys moved."

Kali flinched at the mention of Zechs' name along with Heero's old alias. "Nice to see you again, Relena. Sorry, but... Keifer isn't here with me. I actually came to see Zechs."

"Oh," Relena's face fell. Immediately, she made herself smile. "I'll go get him for you."

"Thanks," Kali said, faking gratitude. Relena was a sweet girl, but Kali could just never return the feeling's she so obviously felt for her.

"Here he is!" Relena said, adoration in her eyes as she brought her doped up brother to Kali. "He just took his medication, so he's a little out of it."

"Okay," Kali said to Relena. "Zechs, will you come for a drive with me? I have to talk to you, about Keifer."

Zechs' eyes lit up at the mention of her brother's name and he followed Kali out to the car.

'I love you... Always and forever.' Kali hear Heero's voice say.

"Sir, we have just received information that the blocks Collection Item M placed on the Yuy twins are failing," Agent Alex said.

"Fuck!" Dr. J exclaimed. "Bring the girl to me."

"Yes, sir," Alex said. He radioed the troops to release M from her stasis. The stasis allowed the Collectors to control the Mysticals while still letting them, and thus their powers, grow.

Two agents brought the young lady to J's lab, the most feared lab among all of the Collectors. "Sit down," J instructed her, pointing to a manacled chair.

"I suppose the blocks are breaking down," the 24 year-old Marimaeia said, smirking.

"Yes," J said. "Fix them."

"No," Mari said, for once defying the man who had used and abused her for the last fifteen years. "No. My blocks are going to fail, and I'm going to let them. I never should have done what you made me do. No. My blocks will break and then the Peace Children will come for you and your Collectors."

Dr. J got out a chemical and put it into an injection needle. "Oh, my dear, I think you will do whatever I tell you to."

"You think wrong," Mari said. "Did I ever tell you I got my second power? It's better than Manipulation. It's the hand of Flesh." With that said, Marimaeia turned the hand of Flesh on herself and laughed her way to hell as her body ripped into shreds.
