Searching for Family

Prologue

Five young men stood outside what appeared to be an abandoned warehouse in one of the space colonies that orbited the Earth. They had an aura of finality about them, standing in a triangle, with a brown haired and blue eyed boy on point holding a detonation device. This was their last stop in their quest to destroy what had created them. The first two stops had been oddly similar; another warehouse and one abandoned building while another had been an elaborate mansion and the last being a large government run factory.

Only eighteen months ago the war they had fought in ended, leaving them with no where to go, and nothing left to live for. At the beginning four of them joined The Preventers, a police force designed to keep the peace, and kept fighting, ensuring that what they gained in the war would be saved for future generations. And they were needed. They had had to fight once more.

After a year of the peace the five gained in the war, an attack was executed and Vice Foreign Minister Relena Dorlain, the main advocator of the delicate peace was kidnapped. Once they had righted the situation, it became apparent that the need for people with their skills was being reduced. Only the one rebellion had occurred and peace was becoming a reality. Six months later found them jobless, without direction, and lonely. They all decided to begin anew.

That's when they decided to destroy the places in which they were trained. All five boys found themselves restricted to what they could do in life with the constant reminders of their past war careers. So to start fresh, they decided to demolish the buildings that their respective gundams were built in.

That is why the five of them ended up outside what appeared to be a warehouse, but had actually been headquarters to a rebel group who had been created by one of the gundam engineers. And that is why the boy on point, Heero Yuy was holding a switch to the massive amount of explosives which were strategically placed inside the warehouse.

"Are you ready, Heero?" asked the blonde pilot to his right, genuinely concerned for the other's well being. The final stop for these boys had been Heero's former home, and while placing the explosives, the former pilots had stumbled upon some of Heero's personal information; confidential information that not even Heero himself had known. Needless to say, finally knowing where he was from had Heero acting a bit out of character.

"Are you kidding, Quatre?" another replied uncharacteristically grave. "This guy is always ready for anything, no matter what comes our way." Duo Maxwell had ignored Heero's reaction to the information, knowing that was what Heero wanted.

Heero merely nodded, grateful that no one had directly mentioned the information received inside the warehouse, and pushed the trigger.

The other two, Trowa Barton and Wufei Chang, only remained silent as they carefully watched as Heero pushed the button, and consequently demolished their last tie to their former lives. Once the building was in rubble, they both let out relieved sighs.

The aura of finality which had hung about the boys earlier disintegrated with the simultaneous exhale of breath, and was replaced by one of relief, as smiles slowly crept on to each one of the young men's faces.


The young man who once went by the name Heero Yuy knocked on the door of a small bungalow of his home colony. The house was old; the red paint was fading and the shingles were falling off the roof. This address had been listed in the headquarters of his former home as the residence of his family when he had been taken from them. Heero was not so naïve to think that after nearly seventeen years the family – his family, he corrected himself mentally – would still be living be living there. He only hoped that the current tenants would have the new address of his family. If not, a name was all Heero needed. He would find them no matter what.

He thought back to what he had left behind. He was planning on starting a new life here, with his family, if they would take him in, and was leaving everything that he knew. He had left a note for Relena Dorlain, the girl with whom he was involved with, if one could call one kiss involved, and had said goodbye to the other gundam pilots, who he had come to call his friends.

He was pulled out of his reverie as a woman, a few years older than him and nearly five months pregnant, answered the door. He was about to introduce himself and ask who the previous owners of the house were when he noticed the colour of her eyes.

Deep blue eyes looked back into his. The exact shade of his eyes matched hers and Heero realized that his family had never moved out of the house. She was staring at him just as intently as he was staring at her.

"Do I know you?" the woman asked timidly, worry showing in her eyes.

Heero was in shock. He had found them. His family. He was so surprised to find them that he was unable to respond.

Noting his blank look, and the uncommon colour of his eyes, the young woman decided to take a risk. She smiled, and stepped outside her house and embraced him. She drew him into a tight hug and waited for his reaction.

Heero's shock soon wore off. As this unknown female pulled him into a hug, he smiled; a rare occurrence. He returned the hug and whispered, "I think I'm your brother."

Well what do you think? R&R!
