Peace Children Chapter 19

Kali reached up to give Catherine a kiss as the door to the motel room was kicked in. Twelve Collectors, Units 1 and 4, rushed in, tranquilizer guns at the ready. They saw Kali and took aim.

Kali saw the guns and pushed Catherine behind her to shield her. The drug- filled darts flew toward them. Several struck her, but it wasn't until one hit Catherine that Kali processed what was happening.

It made her mad. How dare those Collector scum hurt her Catherine! As Catherine slumped down on the bed, knocked out by the drugs, Kali reached deep inside herself.

She reached into the deepest recesses of her body and brought forth fire. Her eyes blazed red as the fire burst from her chest, instantly cremating the three Collectors in front. The fire came from her fingers, her stomach, her mouth. She charred the remaining Collectors, their remains falling to the floor in piles; mostly ash with a piece of bone here and there.

Kali cut off the stream of fire, and the flames extinguished. She collapsed to the floor, the drugs catching up to her. Her eyes faded from red to green as she looked at the creature who walked in the room. It wore a hooded cloak to disguise its features, but it could do nothing to change its guttural voice.

"I'm glad I let them come in first," Griffin chuckled. He scooped up Kali's now helpless body; the drugs in the darts had temporarily paralyzed her.

Heero did as Trowa said. He looked for his sister, but he could not find her. He could feel her, but she was either unconscious or confused, because he couldn't discern where she was.

"Do you know if anyone's with her?" he asked Trowa, worried about his sister. "Anyone at all?"

"Why?" Trowa asked, before changing his mind. He didn't want to know. "Never mind. My sister, Catherine, is with her. I think."

Heero invaded Trowa's mind, searching for data on Catherine. When he thought he had enough to find her, he retreated and started searching for her. It didn't take him long to find her; she was in a motel some sixty miles south of where they were.

Heero's body fell as he sent out his soul to inhabit the woman.

Griffin turned around as he heard the fallen prophet stir. He almost dropped the Peace Child when the woman opened her eyes.

'Prophets don't have blue eyes*,' he thought, as a hand came up to encircle his throat.

***

Kali was asleep, and then she wasn't. She felt a comforting presence in her mind, filling her, making her stronger. Heero was inside her. Not his thoughts, not his mind, but the real thing.

Kali felt arms holding her, and reached out to grab the neck of the creature who would betray his kind.

***

Griffin looked down, and was shocked at what he saw. The girl, who should have been unconscious for hours, was awake. Not only that, but blue eyes were superimposed over her own green owns, making for a horrifying result. Horrifying, at least, for him.

"We *are* the Peace Children," two voices said, as they used Kali's power to dissolve his flesh.

***

"What's going on?" Duo demanded. "Why won't he wake up?" Duo reached out to shake the boy. "Heero! Wake up! Baby, *please*, wake up. You're scaring me." He looked at Trowa. "What happened? Why won't he wake up?"

"His powers are growing. I think he jumped into either Kali's or Catherine's body. He's not in his own anymore," Trowa said. As he explained this, two girls fell into the already overcrowded van.

"Ow," Catherine complained. Her head hurt, but, thanks to Heero's approximately three second stay in her body, she wasn't sleepy.

Heero and Kali picked their body up off of Wufei and Meiran, and looked at the others with that strange mix of blue and green eyes. They closed their eyes, and when Kali's reopened, so did Heero's.

Duo glomped onto Heero, smothering him with kisses. The others stared at them until Heero made Duo get off of him.

"I think we need a bigger vehicle," Heero said, holding Duo's head away from him. "This one is definitely too small."

Everyone agreed and the eleven of them got out of the van: Odin, Hilde, Meiran, Wufei, Quatre, Trowa, Duo, Catherine, Heero, Kali, and Bast. They walked around the parking lot until they found exactly what they were looking for: a fifteen-seater church bus.

They got in after Heero and Kali changed the license number, color, and church name of the bus. Duo, Heero, Kali, and Catherine sat in the very back row. Trowa and Quatre got the row in front of them. Wufei and Meiran sat in the exact middle row, and Bast claimed the row in front of them all for herself. Odin got in the driver's seat, and Hilde took the passenger's seat again.

Everyone was talking amiably after the introductions. Kali and Heero held each other's hand and would not let go for anything. Heero leaned back into Duo, and Kali did the same to Catherine.

Nobody noticed Hilde's eyes well with tears as she saw her beloved with another woman.
