The Remnants
Bright lights once again assaulted his vision…
"I don't know if you remember this, but your name is
Duo Maxwell, you're sixteen years old and you're a
Remnant."
The boy in the hospital bed gaped at the stranger that
had suddenly appeared at the foot of his bed. "Um...
what?"
The stranger - a dark-haired boy about his age -
smiled wanly. "Should have anticipated your confusion.
Okay, I'll go slowly. Your name is Duo Maxwell. Any
questions?"
Duo shook his head. "Rings a bell," he mused,
"Distantly, but it's still familiar."
The stranger nodded. "It's your name." Seeing Duo's
nod, he continued. "You're sixteen years old - the
same as me. Any more questions?"
Again, Duo shook his head. "Sounds right."
"Okay. And…you're a Remnant. Any questions?"
"Just one. What the fuck is a Remnant?"
The stranger grinned darkly. "Well, we're still
Finding that out... but so far, we've established that the
Remnants are the saviours of humanity, are actually
animated by the remains of gods - hence the name, they
have heightened powers and senses, there's only eight
of us in existence and we still have to find the last
three."
Duo was openly staring by the end of the stranger's
description. "And…I'm one of these?"
The stranger nodded. "Duo, what do you remember before
your amnesia?"
"Nothing," Duo rolled his eyes, "That's why it's
called amnesia."
"Ah. So I'll explain. Your amnesia was induced by
doctors…scientists, really. You were coming into
your powers, and they wanted to halt them."
Duo was aghast. "Why?" He considered for a second,
then asked, "Are you a Remnant as well?"
"Yes, I am. My name is Heero Yuy, for future
reference."
"Heero," Duo said slowly. "Okay. Why did these
scientists make me get amnesia? What're they afraid
of?"
"You," Heero said wryly. "You are an orphan... you
were raised by one of the scientists - Professor G -
since you were a toddler. I myself was raised by the
leader, Doctor J. Chang Wufei - another of the
Remnants - was also raised by a scientist. The other
three were not, but two were watched over by them. The
third was monitored by doctor J…is now also missing,
the other two scientists and their charges, both Remnants,
are missing."
Duo nodded slowly, absorbing the extra information. "I
think I understand... I'm sorry, this is all new to
me. But how can I be an orphan? There's these two
people that always come in and cry over me and tell me
I'm their son - and don't give me any information -
and tell me I'll be coming home soon!"
"Actors, or more to the point spies, hired by the
doctors. They would bring you back to a secure home to
watch you."
"Great," Duo muttered. Considering for a minute, Duo
glanced back at Heero. "What powers, exactly, to
Remnants have?"
"Again, we're still finding out a lot of our
capabilities. But so far we have telekinesis,
telepathy, heightened senses, and my way in and our
way out," he answered.
"Which is...?"
Heero smiled, the first genuine smile Duo had seen
since he woke up a week earlier. "I'll show you. Do
you want to leave now?"
"Might as well. Don't want to stay around here any
longer... but how?"
"Like this." With those words, Heero moved to stand
directly in front of Duo. Reaching up, he shut off the
flow of the IV in his arm, before unwrapping the
bandage and sliding the needle out. Duo flinched.
Heero then wrapped his arms around Duo's shoulders,
and suddenly a flush of warm energy spread through
both of them. It left Duo feeling strangely
insubstantial, which he understood a second later as
the room faded from view.
It then went completely dark, although the warm breeze
against his skin told him they were still moving. And
a bare split-second later, another room materialised
around them.
Instead of the cold, sterile hospital room, this one
radiated comfort and hospitality. The walls were
painted a warm yellow, and large couches were arranged
around a table. Three people were seated around there,
a Chinese boy their age who Duo assumed was Chang
Wufei, and two young men, one with short
ginger-coloured hair, and the other with long blonde
hair falling to the middle of his back.
The blonde stood at their arrival. "Duo Maxwell?" he
smiled, offering his hand. "Glad to finally meet you.
My name's Zechs Marquise, and the others are Treize
Khushrenada and Chang Wufei," gesturing in turn to the
young man and the teenager.
They both greeted him, and Duo could feel himself
gradually getting used to the idea. However, he didn't
catch Wufei silently standing, handing a needle to
Heero. Heero nodded silently, before jabbing the
needle into Duo's upper arm. Duo's eyes went wide, and
he staggered, before falling limp into Heero's arms.
Heero glared at Wufei over the top of Duo's head. "Did
we really have to sedate him?"
"Yes," Wufei nodded, "It was necessary. He requires
sleep in an unpolluted environment, without any
chemicals or anything. It might take a few days for
the drugs to wear off, as well."
Heero sighed. "I still don't like it," he muttered,
before scooping the unconscious boy up and moving down
the hall to his room.
