Peace Children
Chapter 24

Heero looked up through the glass door in the power-stealing stasis chamber. He saw Duo and a woman -- she looked vaguely familiar -- looking around the room. Heero figured they were looking for him. Of course, they wouldn't find him, at least, no by sight; Dr. J had put some kind of device in the center to the tube's door; an object that apparently made the chamber and everything in it invisible.

Heero tried to yell, to bang on the glass, to do *something* to get their attention, but he couldn't. He was too weak. The chamber was sucking his and his children's essences at an ever-alarming rate. Heero sobbed quietly in frustration. He wasn't going to be able to get Duo's or the woman's -- Cassandra -- attention.

Heero's problem was solved when Duo bumped into the tube, jarring Heero. "Oomph!" Duo cried out. Heero smiled at Duo's expression as he felt for what he had stumbled into. His koi could just be so *cute* sometimes.

Duo called for the woman to come over and he asked her what it was that he had bumped into. She gave him the most incredulous gaze as she felt for whatever it was he was talking about. Her jaw dropped open in shock when she actually felt something. She felt around for a few moments before thinking, 'Heero!'

'How does she know my name?' Heero thought after hearing her thought.

***

"Heero! Heero's in here!" Cassandra said to Duo, frantically trying to find the lid on the big, tubey *thing*. "Help me find the opening."

Duo joined Cassandra in trying to find out where the tube opened up. They had been doing that for several moments -- crazily, like mad people -- when Duo heard a knocking coming from the tube. He looked up and down the tube, and his gaze was drawn to a yellow, blinking light in what was probably the center of the door.

Duo reached over the tube and felt where the blinking light was coming from. It was a button of some kind. Hoping that it wasn't an explosive device, Duo pushed the button.

Immediately, the tube -- and more importantly, Heero -- came into view. Duo gasped at the sight of his love. Heero's cheeks were stained with tears, he had several bruises, and there were tubes in him.

Duo lifter Heero out of the chamber -- Cassandra had opened it while he had been staring at the boy -- and was angry to find that he was practically naked. He was clothed only in the pair of boxer shorts that he had been wearing earlier, making it easier for the medical tubes and wires to be placed on his body. They were everywhere -- on his chest, his thighs, even his feet.

Duo began carefully taking the wires off of his exhausted mate. He then took off his shirt and draped it over Heero. Duo still had his undershirt on though, so he wasn't half-naked.

"Hey," he said, looking down at Heero.

"Hey," Heero said back, quietly, while snuggling further into Duo's arms. "Didn't think you guys were going to find me."

"I'll always find you," Duo responded, sweetly. "How do you feel?"

"Tired," Heero said. "They drugged me with something to make sure they could get me in the chamber. I tried to get away, but I just stopped when I saw all these people in other tubes. Oh, Duo, it was so *horrible*. We have to get them out."

"Of course, baby," Duo replied. "Odin, Quatre, and Trowa are helping them out as we speak."

Duo left the room carrying Heero and motioned for Cassandra to follow him. Duo's motion caused Heero to notice the woman again.

"Who are you?" he asked her.

***

Odin and the boys had finished releasing the Mystical prisoners. Now they had about two dozen disoriented, discombobulated ex-prisoners. Odin was just about to yell at them to calm down when Cassandra and Duo burst in to the room, the latter carrying Heero.

"Heero, my baby!" he cried out, rushing over to see how his son -- his *real* sone -- was doing. He saw Heero's head loll to the side as he tried to look at his father. "What-what's wrong with him?"

"They had him in one of the tubes, and they sedated him beforehand," Cassandra told Odin.

"Did you know that she's my first mother, and that you're my first father?" Heero asked Odin. "And she used to be my kitty." He giggled.

Trowa and Quatre came over to see how Heero was. Trowa stare at Heero, as if he had a particularly interesting newspaper article printed on him. "Something's happening," he stated.

And, sure enough, something was happening. Heero gasped and attempted to double over, in pain, as new power coursed through his body. He levitated out of Duo's arms; the shirt slipping off and exposing his body to the onlookers.

Bright light began to glow from Heero's orifices and limbs. It was gold in color. A crackling was heard as wings grew from Heero's shoulder blades -- white, feathery, angel wings. Magic rushed through his frame, magic strong enough to destroy the Collectors.

***

Hilde and Catherine were talking -- they had decided that they were going to demand that Kali tell them how she felt about them -- when the sleeping girl's form levitated off the bed.

Bright, gold light poured from her as she awakened. She screamed as pain and power ran through her body, changing her, making her better, giving her wings. And the magic to kill *all* of the Collectors.
