I'm working with an old testy laptop that loves disconnecting it's power at random times. That and it loves to skip misspelled words to. I hate not having a mouse to work with. Touch pads can be so annoying. I don't know if I want to go on with idea. But with the bus strike in the OC area I have had a lot of time to think over a fic to write but it all depends on what you people think. Okay here it is:
Flames licked around Duo, birthed from an unexplained, unexpected explosions. Protectively Duo huddled over a small form. His daughter that just moments before was enjoying her bath. Dressed only in his black pants and a wife-beater, Duo felt his skin scorch. No matter how much tight her held her, at three she was just to big. Her hands clutched his back, burning in the flames. Tighter he wrapped her ducky towel around her. The war was over what was going on?
Cursing Duo forced himself to rise and run for what was the back door. His house in shambles it was hard to see where was what. Probably in shock his daughter did not cry. If not for the war Duo to probably be still on the floor just as stunned. Once outside Duo paused to look around the scrap yard he called home. It was crucial to decide where he should go from here. If it was an accidental explosion he did not want to risk her.
However, that was very unlikely. Ever since Hilde left he made sure to store everything and anything potentially explosive on an abandoned space ship. A child can change a mans bad habits. So this had to be an attack of some sort. On the colony he called home, or himself. In his heart Duo felt it was him that they were after; Who ever they were. A bullet ricocheted off the ground near his foot. This concluded it was an attack.
Frantically Duo ran towards a burried MS body. It was small but it still locked, his daughter would be safe in there till help arrived... But what help?
While running Duo reached into his front pocket. There his cellphone remained mostly undamaged by the heat. Flicking it open Duo dialed up Hero. It was a very small chance but maybe Heero would come and help. If it wasn't a Preventor mission he didn't do it. Relena made him so lazy the last couple years. Scrambling up a pile he herd the ringing stop and then silence. Tripping Duo landed on his shoulder hard desperate not to harm his child still petrified in his arms.
"Fuck, shit... Heero man I know your there. Listen I need your help NOW!" Duo scrambled to his feet just to find a bullet find his thigh. "Arg! Damn Heero I just been shot, I know I don't have a chance but I know you can track this fucking phone. As far as I know you might as well have a tracking device in this thing."
Duo rounded the top of pile and caught site of the MS body. Adrenaline masked the pain of his burns and his bullet wound. n a matter of thinking of it probably a few more bullets struck Duo but he just couldn't notice. Fear for his daughter kept him going. Hugging her tighter he started he decent down. For now he was out of range of who ever was shooting at him. Finally he herd something on the other side of the phone. Someone was typing, Heero had answered the phone.
"Look Heero, make it a mission if you have to, save my daughter. Shit Heero, as far as I know this whole colony is under attack. We are Preventors we are meant to-"
"You don't have to remind me."
In the silence Heero was already loading a map of the colony. Indeed he had planted a tracking device in Duo's phone well over two years ago. It gave him something to do when peace was driving him nuts. Finding Duo was like finding Waldo, because despite being a Preventor he moved around a lot. Mostly selling scrap parts, fixing ships, or just plain old going after junk. Heero had placed trackers in the pilots as well, but there was really no point in it. They never did anything interesting or went any were for that matter Heero already didn't know about.
"Trio baby, look at daddy," Heero herd Duo over the phone, the idiot must have put it onspeaker phone on accident. "Uncle Heero is on the phone. He'll come for you, I need you to stay in here no matter what you hear outside."
"Daddy, I scared, I hurt." A tiny voice cried crackling because the phone barely picked it up.
"Daddy will always be with you, now take this Trio, my hope, my reason-"
"Shinigami's goddess?" Came a whispered response finishing Duo.
