"Character's Talking"
The 6th Pilot
Part 3 A New Mission
By: Raichuu
Jen ran into her room Quatre gave her. She needed time to think. Ok, so maybe running away from them wasn't the best idea. But that's a lot to take in all at once. 'Maybe I should have listened.' She sighed.
"Arg! I hate men! Even if they are Gundam Pilot's, I still don't have to like them." She said to herself. 'Why am I staying here? I have no reason to, maybe I should just leave.' She went over to grab her laptop when she saw a red light blinking. 'So, Pr. T., what kind of mission do you have for me now?'
She started typing away, breaking down several security codes before she actually got into the file she was supposed to see.
All his message said was:
Jen,
We need to talk about your resent actions. ASAP.
T
'Not another lecture on procedure.' She grimaced at what he would say. And what kind of training she would have to go through when she got back to L6.
She messaged him back, and she didn't have to wait long for his picture to pop up.
"How did you get caught? I guess I didn't train you well enough."
"I'm sorry Pr. T., but OZ found me and my Gundam before I even knew what hit me." Bad reply. She realized what she said after the words come tumbling out of her mouth.
"You should have been more careful!" He didn't sound happy at all. But are mad scientists ever happy unless they get a new 'toy' to play with (No dirty minds now people! Like you Mathieu!).
"I checked over the base as soon as I got out, and there was nothing to worth destroying."
"What?! I checked it out myself. There were new mobile suits being built there."
"They moved them out, about a week BEFORE I got my mission. So its not my fault." She was pleased with herself, Pr. T. was upset, and not at her for once.
"And another thing. How did you escape?" He had to bring that up didn't she?
"I had a little help." 'Please don't ask me who…'
"Who? I must repay them for helping my daughter." Jen sighed.
"Don't worry about repaying them. They never said it out loud, but I know they were just trying to keep my Gundam and me, out of OZ's hands. And the only reason they didn't kill me is because I saved their butts once."
"They?"
"Yea… 5 boys by the names Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Winner, and Chang Wufei. Also known as 01, 02, 03, 04, and 05."
"So you meet up with them, good. Your next mission is being sent to you." The computer's hard drive started making sounds, indicating that it was downloading. "But I also have one other mission for you."
"What is it?" Jen was happy that she was able to get away from this -hell hole. -
"I can see right through you. You are not to kill any of those men. In fact you are to stay with them."
"Have you gone nuts?!" Of course he has, he always was. "I'm not going to stay with these… these… BOYS!" She stood up rather fast, knocking her chair out from under her and sending it flying backwards and hitting the ground with a 'thud'.
"Follow my orders! And complete your next mission within the next 24 hours. Get some rest, you look like hell." Then the screen turned black, Jen just stood there with her hands on the desk, staring at the screen.
----/***\----
Quatre was walking down the hall when he heard a 'thump' come from Jennifer's room. He knocked on the door. His response was Jennifer opening the door so fast; it almost hit him in the face.
"Jen, you ok?" Quatre asked, a little worried something happened.
"I'm fine 04, I'm just going out for a while." She responded, and headed down the stairs.
Quatre was shocked that she called him by the name OZ has given him. He didn't like that, but he knew she was still just upset about them not telling her sooner who they were.
Little did both of them know that there was a figure hiding in the shadows listening to everything that was happening. And he didn't like what he saw one bit. Heero still had his doubts about Jennifer, and who she really was. And hearing her call Quatre, 04 was not helping.
----/***\----
Later that night, 2 hours after Jennifer went out everyone was sitting around eating, reading, or in Duo's case, fixing a very beat up Gundam.
Duo went out on a mission with his Gundam, a solo mission, a couple hours ago. When he got back, He started working on Deathscythe after the heavy battle it went through.
He's realized that ever since Jen became to injured to carry out her missions, there has been more and more OZ attacks. Which made him a little excited. Duo, or Shinigami, as he called himself, loved the fight. He was always fighting for the right cause, in his mind anyway. When he was finishing up with the new upgrades Prof. G had sent him and looked up to his right to see Jen's Gundam, which she calls Archangel.
This massive suit was very impressive. It looked like a Deathscythe and Sandrock mix, but it had Wing Zero's beam cannon with Altron's fire blast, and it also had Heavyarm's guns. It was a black suit, but it wasn't really black, it just looked like it from a distance and in the dark, but once you got up close and really looked, you could tell the true color of the giant beast was a metallic purple.
Duo walked up to the massive suit and look up. "It's just as cold as she is." He stated to no one in particular, when he reached out to touch the cool gundamium. When his hand came in contact with the cold metal, alarms started going off within the cockpit. Duo, unaware of what was happening inside the Gundam, moved closer for a better look when he heard a grinding noise. "What the hell?"
He looked up and saw something heading straight for him, and he knew he couldn't get away in time. "This can't be good…" he muttered just before he was hit.
----/***\----
Heero and Quatre were walking down the hall talking about battle strategies for their newest missions, when Wufei was walking down the hall towards the hanger to upgrade Altron. Quatre stopped Wufei to give him his mission. "Since we can't find Duo, can you do this one?"
"I thought he was working on his Gundam from his last mission?" Wufei snorted.
"I looked, he wasn't there." Heero replied while reading over his newest mission to complete.
"Fine, but this is…" Wufei was cut short when the hanger door smacked him from behind. "Shit! What the hell?!"
Heero looked up from the papers, and almost, almost went bug eyed. Quatre gasped at the sight before him. Wufei rub the back of his head and turned around and nearly fell over with shock at what he saw.
Trowa came walking down the hall looking for Quatre to ask him what happened to his motorcycle, and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the red creature. "Duo? What happened to you?" Trowa asked, a little amused.
Quatre started laughing. Duo just glared at him giving him a look that said this is _not_ funny! "Sorry Duo, but…" he took a breath. "If you could only see how funny this looks. What on earth happened to you? I don't remember putting red paint in the hanger."
Duo just glared at everyone, and with a look that made Quatre stop laughing. "I'm going to kill her…" Was all he said, before he walked off to his room to take a long, hot shower. "Oh, I'm going to make her pay." He mumbled to himself.
----/***\----
The hall was pitch black. But the figure in the shadows had no trouble seeing down the dark, gloomy hall. Jen sunk down the hall to the main computer room, with a gun in hand. She knocked out the 2 guards that were posted to keep out any intruders, 'They did their job real well.' She thought to herself.
She popped a blank disk into the drive, and started downloading the data she needed. "Faster!" She hissed at the computer. When it was finished she popped the disk back out, and stuck it in her pocket.
"There she is! Get her!" They found her running down the hall; she didn't care at this point if she was found out. Her hair was tied away from her face, but it was still flying everywhere. She got what she needed; now she just needed to get out alive.
She jumped the fence1 and turned back around to fire shots at the soldiers that were following her. "So long, suckers!" She started running into the wooded area for cover. She was still running when she dug out a detonation device. She stopped running and turned around, "This should be far enough." And she pushed the button.
Everything in front her burst into flames. She stood there and watched the base burn. "Mission complete. Now I have to go back to that castle and see them again." She sighed, and headed back to the motorcycle she borrowed from Trowa.
----/***\----
Duo looked at the printouts, Quatre gave him, for the hundredth time. Quatre said it was top priority; it needed to get done as soon as possible. "This has got to be a joke. If Heero had a sense of humor, I would blame him." But he doesn't. Duo reminded himself. "They must have read it wrong, or gave me the wrong mission. One that was already finished…"
Duo looked out at the base. Or what's left of it. It was reduced to a pile of rubble. From the distance Duo thought he saw smoke, and now this just confirms it. Someone's beaten him to the base. "I hope they can't salve anything." Duo smirked at the damage done.
He decided to just turn around and head back to Quatre's house for dinner. He missed out on breakfast and lunch. "Well… I'll figure this one out later!" He told himself, and got back on his motorcycle, and drove off.
----/***\----
"I want her found… No, I don't care how you bring her in, just do it damn it! Find her now, if you value your life." With that said he closed his cell phone, terminating the connection. He got out of his chair and started pacing the room, his tall frame dwarfing everything in the room.
He stopped pacing in front of his desk to look at a family photo. There was a picture of a woman holding a baby girl, and a man behind them wrapping his long arms around them protectively. Off to the side was another person, a young man, no more then 19. "I'll get you Jennifer. You killed my mother, father, and baby sister. I'll kill you and your whole family. You'll watch them die by my hands, before I kill you, very slowly." He snapped out. He put down the photo of his family, and picked up a folder with the words: Wagner, Jennifer and family.
He opened it up and pulled out a photo of a little boy about the age of 3 with dark brown hair that went everywhere, and Prussian blue eyes. "But first, I must find out who this boy is." There was a knock at the door. "What?!"
"Nice greeting." A black figure called from the door.
"What do you want Larry?" He called over to the man standing at the door. He was almost as tall as he was. His hair what just as dark as mood. And his eyes were so intense that people would think twice before messing with him.
"It won't do any good to stay in this room and mope, John." Larry walked up to John and looked at the picture he was holding. "So, do you know anything about him yet?"
John turned around and faced Larry with a cold glare. "Only that this kids about her age now, and it's her older half brother by a year. He disappeared 3 months after this photo was taken. That's all I've been able to find out. And he," he pull out another phone, this time of an older, ageing man, "is her father. But it's not this boy's father. They have the same mother, just different fathers. And nobody knows what happened to the father or mother or either child."
"So, we could be just chasing a ghost? John, you've really lost it, you know that?"
"I will avenge my family. Why are you after her? You don't have anything against her." John wanted to know.
"No, I don't have anything against her. I just think she's cute. Let's just say, I wouldn't mind helping you catching her." Larry smiled evilly. Thinking of what he could do to her when they actually found her.
----/***\----
Jen was just sitting on a log on the beach, watching the waves rise and fall and rise again when someone came up behind her. He tried to not make a sound. Little did he know that she heard him the whole time, and knew exactly what he was doing. "Quatre, you can stop trying to sneak up on me and ask me whatever's on your mind."
"How'd you know it was me?" Quatre asked, sitting on the log next to her.
"Well, the other's have more sense to stay away from me right now. Even Duo's not this stupid. So what do you want?" She stated bluntly.
Quatre stared out at the ocean. It's teal-blue waves splashing on the rocks and sand. "Well, I just wanted to talk."
"About what?" She asked
"Anything. We really don't know much about you. Just that you pilot a gundam too. Tell me about your family, friends. Stuff like that."
Jen just stared out into the ocean. Not making eye contact with him. She was silent for a while before she finally started talking. "I only know who my father is, but I don't know where he is, I just know his face. My mother died when I was 2. I also had an older brother, he died with my mother, and he was only 3. He was only 3 year olds when the Federation shot down their shuttle!" She took a deep breath. Quatre put his hand on her shoulder, telling her she didn't have to go on, but she did anyway.
"I don't know much about my mother or brother. I just knew that my mother took care of both him and I. She left me home with a sitter that day, and took my brother to the hospital in Colony L5. Since my colony, L6, was still new they didn't have much of a hospital. And my brother was getting sicker. She was coming home… with good news, he was going to be just fine. But she never made it. Dad says he wasn't even my real brother, just my half brother. But my dad just gave me to same lady to take care of me, and walked out of my life."
"What was your brother's and mother's name?"
"I don't know." She responded sadly.
"How did your father fine you?" Jen looked at Quatre. "Well you said that you lived with your mom."
"The cops got a hold of him. They told him what happened. That was the biggest mistake of their lives. I would have been better off in a foster home. If I were, then I wouldn't have to be doing this! This wasn't my choice! I never wanted to be a pilot." Jen sobbed out. She hated crying in front of people, it's a form of weakness.
Quatre turn Jen to face him, and hugged her. As if reading her thoughts "It's ok to cry. I would start to think you weren't human if you didn't cry." He laughed lightly. Holding her seemed so right. He didn't want to let her go.
Jen let herself be hugged for the first time in a long, long time. She couldn't even remember when the last time she was hugged, or even talked to like a person, and not a solider. "Quatre?" She whispered her name into his shirt.
"Hmm?" He responded, and looked down to see the top of her head.
She pulled back, not wanting to show so much weakness. "I really appreciate you doing this."
"It was nothing."
"No, it was something. It meant a lot to me. Thank you."
"Sure, it's no problem." He smiled brightly at her. "Anytime."
----/***\----
A figure was walking through the trees of the Winner Estate. He was one of the many technicians. When he saw Quatre walking out towards the beach he followed, and there he saw her. He heard all of her sob story and dug out his cell phone to call his boss. "I found her, sir. She's at the Winner Estate with the Gundam Pilots." He rattled off the address and closed his phone. "I found you Jennifer. Now it's time you pay."
