Chapter 1
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~20km's north of Florence, Italy - Apennine Mountain region~
Sally wiped the sweat off her brow as she thoroughly excavated the site her boss, Treize Kushrenada assigned her team to. It had been three weeks since they had been excavating the site and they had found very little evidence that there was once a civilization here except for the odd broken piece of pottery they found. Her boss assured her that there was life that once dwelled the mountain region after the many folktales and myths the locals told people. After all, there was some elements of truth to a myth. Treize told Sally that after he and his comrade, Milliardo surveyed the land and the graphs showed some evidence of possible fossils and human artifacts. Treize wanted Sally and her band of 'Merry Men' as he called her team to excavate after one of the locals brought him a few broken pieces of pottery, a sure sign of civilization. Milliardo at first thought it a hoax and had Treize check if it was genuine but after finding out that the piece of potter was at least 9000 years old after being carbon dated, he had no doubts of it being genuine.
Sally gasped as her shovel hit something in the snow. She took her brush and gently began to brush away the snow and dirt from the artifact, noticing as it slowly began to show up, it was an arm, a well intact human arm.
When she finally spoke up from her initial shock, she called out for her husband Wufei as she continued to brush away and revealed shoulders and a neck.
"What is it woman?" Wufei grumbled grasping his cup of hot chocolate tightly
"I really think you should come here and see this..." she told him trailing off as she began to brush snow of the body's face. It appeared to be a young man no older than twenty-five. He had long brown hair with beads and brightly coloured feathers attached to it. From what she could tell the man wore a delicately made ivory necklace - a common type of accessory to wear. If Sally didn't know any better, she'd have sworn the man was sleeping and not dead, he was that well preserved. His body was so well intact that if you were to place him next to a live person who was sleeping, you could never tell the difference except for a few minor ones. His features were well defined and pronounced save that his jaw was jutted a little more forward than the average modern homo sapien, hardly noticeable unless you looked for the differences. The man was beautiful, too beautiful for human standards.
Sally's head shot upwards as she heard the sudden footfall of her husband approaching as well as the sudden gasp and 'thunk' as he dropped the Styrofoam cup on the ground. He had seen the body. "Holy shit!" she heard him swear as he knelt beside her on the snow.
"Holy shit is right, Fei-kun. If I didn't know it, I'd swear he was alive and napping." Sally indicated.
"This is an interesting discovery!" Wufei exclaimed as he called onto the other members of their team. "Quatre, Trowa, come here quick! We need your help on something here, it's big!"
Wufei heard his friends rush over and then Quatre's "oh my!"
Still intent on her digging, Sally motioned for them to help her and Wufei dig up the rest of the body instead of gaping like fish. It took them the rest of the day to fully dig up the body and prepare it to bring home. The man wore some form of animal skin pants and nothing to cover his bare chest save for the few battle scars that were shown. This indicated that the weather was not as chilly in this particular location when he died. The man had shoes that poorly resembled sandals and in his right hand he clutched something...jewelry of some sort. Sally frowned as she wondered how the man died. She would leave Heero to figure that one out. She pulled out her cell phone before turning to address her team.
"We should call Heero up in LA. He should be prepared for us before we arrive. We'll need him to do a few tests on 'Bob' on the who, what, and how's of his death." Wufei had jokingly decided to name the body, "Bob" after watching a movie where the planet was named Bob. Wufei sometimes had a twisted sense of humour.
"It's a pity Heero couldn't come and help us out. Instead he's stuck at home teaching a bunch of high school kids." Quatre said with remorse as he brushed a strand of blonde hair away from his face.
Wufei chortled a laugh, covering his mouth to hide it. "Yeah, especially since he hated his high school years. A little ironic, don't you think?"
"Wufei dear, be kind. Here isn't here to defend himself properly. I'm going to give him a call, you behave and be careful placing the body in the helicopter." She heard Wufei groan and give an audible sigh as his confirmation. She then proceeded to dial up her friend's number.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Back in LA~
Heero had been sitting on his sofa, flipping through the pages of his 'Popular Science' magazine. He sipped on his coffee every now and then, enjoying his breakfast as he took a bite of his bagel. He nearly jumped off his seat when he heard the phone ring. He answered the phone, unimpressed that someone would disturb his morning peace. "Hello?" he said rather annoyed into the receiver.
"Hey! Heero, sorry to bug you but..."
Heero's eyes widened as he recognized Sally's voice on the other end. "Sally? What is it? I thought you were in Italy for the month," Heero stated a little shocked.
"Actually we are, but we're on our way home. We found something rather interesting that we need your expertise in. We're bringing 'Bob' home."
Heero quirked a quizzical brow as he took a sip of his coffee, "Bob?"
"Wufei named him." Sally stated as if it explained everything. "He's a perfectly mummified male that lived here in Italy in the Apennine Alps before Caesar or Rome ever existed. We're uncertain of his death because the man appeared to be in perfect health. That's where you come in. We're landing in approximately 17 hours at Treize's personal landing site. Be there ready for us," Sally said carefully.
"Sure. I'll take off some personal days. The high school can lose its history teacher for a week," Heero said. He heard the faint hum of the chopper rev up background indicating the team was ready for lift-off.
"Good. See you later, Heero." She hung up after he said his good-bye, leaving Heero to get ready for work and notify the staff he'd be taking some personal days off. After school Heero was going to prepare the lab in his basement for the tests. It had been
Sally's idea to turn his basement into a lab so that he could do most of his archaeological research at home rather than stay for hours at the university. He stood up and set his mug in the sink after finishing up his bagel. He proceeded to take his shower and get ready for another boring day of teaching high school students.
This was definitely going to be a long day.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The following day Heero met up with his friends: Sally, Wufei, Quatre, and Trowa, at the landing pad. When not teaching during the summer holidays, he was a part of their archaeological team. He silently observed Trowa and Wufei wheeling the body in the back of a van as Sally and Quatre carefully stacked the Styrofoam boxes (1) containing artifacts into the van as well.
"Ready to go?" Quatre, their historian asked. The group nodded before heading towards Heero's house.
Upon arrival, Sally kept telling Heero how wonderful the discovery was. The body had been brought down carefully into his basement and placed on the operating table so that Trowa could carefully remove the insulated padding used to protect and keep the specimen in the temperature found to prevent decay. Heero would only be able to operate on the body an hour a day at most before having to put it in his walk-in fridge to keep it safe. The fridge was kept in the temperature of the mountains so that the body would be safe in the conditions it was found in. Heero gasped as he finally saw the body of the young man. He had long dark brown hair that flowed loosely about his shoulders with ornamental things placed in it. Heero noted the man looked no older than his twenty-four years and not the thousands of years that he truly was. Heero inwardly smirked, the man looked good for his age!
"You're supposed to figure out the cause of his death and the usual statistics and info for now, Heero," the quiet Japanese heard Trowa addressing him.
"Right."
"We found some pottery and a few arrowheads nearby the place of his death. It could give you a few clues," Sally informed as she fingered 'Bob's' hair with her glove-covered hand. He's beautiful, it's a pity he died so young. But I suppose that was the life of most humans back then. You were lucky if you lived up to 35 and were considered old," Sally said with a chuckle.
Heero nodded and noticed the others were tired and yawning every now and then. He offered them stay in his guest rooms but they declined, saying their goodbyes, leaving Heero alone to begin his work. He looked at his wristwatch, 5:06pm and charted the time along with the date on his clipboard for his lab report.
He sighed as he began to chart data on his clipboard with his usually messy scrawl. He took pictures of the body, without the flash of course since the flash could be damaging. He smirked as he remembered Sally's earlier comment of how 'Bob' was beautiful; he wasn't beautiful, he was breath taking. He then jotted down the name of the body, 'Bob' on to the clipboard and decided to later on ask Wufei why he named him Bob of all names. He then put down the clipboard and put on some surgical gloves as he gently pried open Bob's lips and fingered around in his mouth.
"He's got all of his teeth, unusual for people of that time period," Heero stated to no one in particular before he carefully cut a few strands of the man's hair for a DNA analysis, placing it into a Ziploc bag. He named the sample 'Bob's hair, sample 01.'
He then proceeded to check if there were any visible signs of physical injures but only saw the usual scar here and there from pervious injuries. As he gently fingered the man's skull, he noticed it seemed to be in pretty good condition.
"No head injuries. Cause of death was definitely not physical related. No one tried to murder him. Hmm..." He then proceeded to take the hair samples and place it under the machine for further testing. Had he not been so focused on his analysis, he would have heard the faint shuffling of clothing and noticed he was not as alone in his home as he thought he was.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo remembered hiking through the Achee valley next to the mountains with Roe, his love as they hiked to their secret place. Roe had given him a necklace that he made with fox bones and marble. He had then proceeded to drag him off saying he had a secret for him and couldn't wait to show his lover. Duo made sure that his first and so far, only wife Hiidee was safe at home in their hovel with his first born son before he and Roe left for their trek. Most people in his clan had two wives but Duo so far only had one. The women were there to make babies as was their responsibility to ensure survival. Women were trained from birth in combat skills, hunting and domestics so that while men were away they could properly fend for themselves. Duo didn't hate women, he loved his wife Hiidee but he loved Roe even more since they had been childhood friends and were always close. It had been common for a man to have the occasional male lover, especially while they were on long hunts, it did after all get lonely at night without a wife to comfort them. Duo's lover and true love was Roe. They grew up together, went on their first hunt together. Even as children Duo loved how Roe's blue eyes would sparkle and light up every time he saw him, or how his messy brown hair would carelessly fall over his eyes. He loved to run his hands through Roe's hair - it was so soft. Duo was happy when Roe's second wife, Woweena had given birth to his firstborn son - and when Roe's first wife Teah bore Roe two daughters. Roe's mating was a successful addition to the clan.
When Duo walked hand in hand with Roe, his other hand gently clutching the necklace Roe had made him as they walked to their secret place, he never anticipated for the sudden avalanche to strike. One minute he had been happily walking with Roe only to be separated by the snow. As it hit, he distantly heard Roe's shouts somewhere above him as he began to claw the snow that now buried him meters below Roe. His final thoughts before passing out were: I hope Roe is ok, I love you Roe!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo almost giggled as he felt ghostly fingers touch and graze over his skin. He would have pouted as they left but noted he felt very stiff, like he had been asleep for quite some time. When he smelled the air, he noted the air smelled funny. Cracking an eye open, he noticed he was not in the hovel with Hiidee or with Roe. The room he was in looked funny and strange to his eyes. He definitely did not know where he was. Maybe he was attacked by one of the other tribes, but he remembered no one, not even other tribes had places or things that looked like these. What was this strange place? He then noticed a man or what appeared to be a man in strange clothes humming a song that he did not recognize. The man was looking through some shiny object as he hummed a tune. As Duo stretched, the man finally turned around and Duo gazed into the blue eyes of his love, Roe.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero nearly fainted when he turned around and stared into the blue-violet eyes of a now awake Bob. When he heard someone move about him from behind he thought Sally or Wufei had stopped by forgetting to inform him of some minor details but when he turned around and saw Bob stretching and staring up at him, he felt his knees go weak. Dead people were not supposed to wake up like this. He felt his stomach churn when the man stiffly stood up and began to walk towards him as he began to speak rapidly through a hoarse but soft tenor.
"Em ore asinera horeda Roe?" (2)
Heero tightly gripped the counter as the man continued to speak. "Roe, incera obe chenki da? Qui notera chenanga?" (3)
When the man finally caught up to Heero, he gently fingered Heero's hair and softly asked something to him in an unknown language. "Irae mesanda Roe?"
Heero did not understand a single word the man spoke. He could only swallow and blink rapidly while tightly gripping the counter, turning his knuckles white. When the man smiled up at him and put an arm loosely around his shoulders, ne did not expect the man Wufei had named Bob to kiss him fully on the lips. This was the exact point in time when Heero O. Yuy lost touch with reality and promptly fainted in Bob's awaiting arms.

TBC...I hope? What do you think? Is it any good? Should I continue? Review please!!!
Anyone catch the move Wufei saw? Know who Hiidee, Teah and Woweena are? I'm sure you do, but if not, I'll tell you in the next chapter.
1 - Styrofoam cooler-like boxes are often used to transport artifacts since they're good insulators and help prevent the artifacts from breaking.
2 - Is that you Roe?
3 - Roe, why do you wear funny clothing? Where are we?
4 - Why did you cut your hair, it was so pretty
Here's the result of my insanity from one night after getting motivation to write this fic, I will spare you the gory details of HOW I got motivation but, honestly. Tell me what you think. Keep it or Trash it.
Agent Wing is being postponed until my writer's block leaves. I know what I want but the words just don't flow and well, I don't like writing nonsense, so be patient.
