Chapter One
Heero walked through the busy halls of the giant office building keeping his eyes focused on his feet. He hated a lot of people and this crowded building was the last place he wanted to be. But it was imperative he find his old comrade Duo Maxwell. He had already contacted the others with little to no difficulties, but Duo had been a little harder than expected. As he reached a large desk he walked up to the receptionist and stared at her hoping it would get her attention. After a few moments he finally made some effort at communication. "Ahem."
"May I help you sir?"
"Yes I would like to speak to a Mr. Duo Maxwell," he asked hoping this was the right building.
"Yes sir, do you have an appointment?"
"Um…no but I…" Heero was cut off while the secretary picked up the phone.
"Mr. Maxwell sir there is a man here to see you a Mr.…Excuse me sir may I ask for a name?"
"Yuy, Heero Yuy."
"A Mr. Heero Yuy… yes sir…fine I'll send him right in… He will see you now he is the office at the end of the hall." Heero gave her a nod of gratitude and headed down the long hallway. It had been about four years since he and Duo had spoken so he was feeling a little nervous to his surprise. When he reached the final office door he read the nameplate, 'Duo Maxwell President of Mobile Parts Inc.' Heero was rather shocked to find that Duo was president of a manufacturing company. Heero lightly rapped on the door and waited for a response.
"Oi, Heero come on in," came Duo's muffled yet recognizable voice from the other side of the door. Heero smiled slightly and entered the rather large office and closed the door behind him. "Heero buddy long time no see, and to what do I owe such a wonderful surprise?" Heero frowned and looked sorrowfully at Duo and decided to skip the pleasantries.
"There is trouble OZ is regrouping and the Gundams are being rebuilt we need you to help us." Heero was shocked at the grief and pain that surfaced to Duo's face as he sat behind the giant wooden desk.
"I can't help you Heero I'm sorry."
"Duo you have to help us you can't turn your back on the fight for peace or your comrade," Heero was beginning to feel enraged be the ex-pilot's hasty dismissal of the situation. Suddenly Duo's face twisted into anger and he glared at Heero before speaking.
"You have no idea how much I wish I could help but I literally can't," as he spoke those words he moved from behind his desk to reveal the wheelchair in which he was occupying. Heero stepped back and nearly tripped over his too feet as he gawked at the metal chair.
"H-h-how, when," Heero still couldn't believe what he saw. Duo sighed and began to wheel over towards Heero. As he got closer Heero backed away as if he was afraid.
"Jesus Christ Heero it's just a wheel chair," Heero noted the hurt in Duo's voice and decided maybe he should sit down. "It happened no more than a year ago, I was having trouble getting around so I went to my doctor. It turns out that the cockpit of Deathscythe Hell wasn't fitted right and some of my vertebrae in my spine along with some nerves were damaged." Duo wheeled back to his desk and continued his story, "Well I had already started this small scavenger and repair business that was growing and fortunately I could afford treatment that kept the damage from spreading so I only loss the use of my legs."
Heero sat staring at his former colleague not wanting to believe the obvious. Duo Maxwell, the God of Death one of the most agile and graceful persons he had ever known restricted to a wheelchair. Duo seemed to sense Heero's frustration and spoke, "I have gotten over the fact that I am trapped in this piece of metal, in fact I'm pretty damn good at maneuvering this thing." He moved out from behind his desk and wheeled right next to Heero and gave him his infamous smirk. "Listen I won't be ale to help as a pilot but I can do other things to help I'll come along with you." Heero numbly nodded and stood to leave. Duo went over to his desk and pressed a button on his intercom, "Mrs. Nist I'll be away on business for an extended amount of time please make sure Alex takes good care'a the place while I'm gone." With that he wheeled out the door that Heero was holding open for him. Heero silently followed him down the hall and into the elevator. When they reached the street Duo made a sharp turn to face Heero, "I have to make a stop by my house I will meet you at the airport in an hour." Heero nodded and turned to leave but not before taking one last look at the wheelchair and shuttered.
