Gundam Wing
Damage Direct
A Young Girl
The Gundam boys casually walked down the quiet night streets trying not to draw attention to them. Duo and Heero were in front leading the way as if not with the others. Quatre and Trowa walked a few feet behind them. And Wufei tailed behind Quatre and Trowa. It was dangerous to walk in a large group with all the OZ soldiers around. OZ had taken control of the colonies, disguising it as an alliance between them and the colonies. None of the Gundam Pilots were fooled by OZ's plans. Especially Quatre!
Quatre's father had protested against one of the L4 colonies joining with OZ. However OZ played dirty. OZ sent in one of their mobile suits pretending to work for the Winner family and it almost started attacking the people. And then guess what happened? OZ came just in time to save the people and shoot at the suit sending it crashing into the Winner house hold. All of the Winner family had been in there. Quatre had been the only one who had survived thanks to his sister Iria. Quatre could remember clearly seeing his father half buried under rubble asking him not to fight. But Quatre had never given him that answer... He never could. Quatre had to fight along with his friends if this war was ever going to stop.
"Well, looky what we got here!" Called a young man standing on top of a building looking down at the Gundam pilots. "Young Winner survived!"
He then chuckled darkly. Next to him came a woman standing next to him looking over at the young Gundam pilots below. She only frowned as she saw them. She growled lowly so her partner could just about hear her.
"Wufei, Nanashi... [1]" She growled. "They're still alive!"
"Easy there!" He calmed the female with his voice. "We'll get them!"
"HEE-CHAN!" Duo called out being his hyper active help as Heero had stopped dead in his tracks. Quatre had taken out his phone pretending to be texting someone while Trowa waited for him. While Wufei pretended to be looking at something in the shop window.
"Come on Hee-chan!" Duo whined. "It's late. Can we just go home?"
Heero had stopped and was listening. He though he'd heard something, or someone. Whatever it was it sounded like a cry for help. Heero frowned. That had come from somewhere, but where. He had the best hearing out of all of them. He was always on his guard and if someone needed help then they would have to go and help as much as they could. Heero then heard it again.
"Are you even listening to me?" Asked Duo.
"Duo..." He said. "Shut up!"
Quatre, Trowa, Duo and Wufei heard the tone in Heero's voice. That meant that he was listening for something. All listened to the nearly quiet night street. None of them heard anything. Then a voice was heard over the silence. Heero and Trowa turned their attention to an old abandoned building just across the street from where they were. Heero and Trowa looked at each other and nodded before walking over to the building. Wufei, Quatre and Duo followed them. As they crossed the road and entered into the old lobby the sounds became clearer.
"LET ME GO YOU OZ BASTEREDS!" Yelled a voice coming from a corridor to their right. It sounded like a female. "I'LL NEVER TELL YOU ANYTHING ABOUT THE GUNDAM PILOTS!"
The boy's eyes grew wide as they heard the last sentence. Now they knew they had to help. OZ was down that corridor and they were hurting someone who knew about the Gundam pilot's. Either way they'd have to kill someone. But the voice was unknown to the Gundam Pilots. It didn't belong to anyone who they knew. All the boys looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Whoever was down there they had to help. Heero, Trowa and Wufei pulled out their guns in case they were needed. Duo and Quatre placed their hand on their gun in case the others needed a quick back up. As they looked into the corridor all the boys were shocked to what they saw in there.
Two OZ soldiers holding a young girl. The girl was only about 14 maybe 15 years old. She had long golden blonde hair pulled back into a high ponytail, with a few stands falling down to frame her face and her bangs slid to the side. Her eyes were a sharp sapphire blue and shone in the darkness of the corridor. Her slightly pale skin gave her a weak look and her slim body didn't help repel that idea. She wore a red tube top that seemed to make her look a lot older than she was and tight jeans covering her slim hips and legs. She then wore black boots that were covered by her jeans. Down the side of her hair poured blood. Obviously she had been hit. Her wrists were held tightly by two large looking OZ soldiers but she still persisted.
"Keep quiet you little brat!" Yelled the dark haired officer. "If you're a good girl we'll make sure that you'll get a little pleasure out of your torture."
All the Gundam pilots frowned and growled low in their throats. That only meant one thing. They were going to rape her for the information on them. But none of the Gundam Pilots had ever seen here before. Some of the contemplated the idea that maybe she was Quatre's sister because of her looks but they had seen the burial off the 29 Winner females.
The girl didn't look to happy at the idea either. "YOU SICK BASTERED WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU I'M GOING TO KILL YOU MYSELF!"
The Gundam boys had to give it to her. She was very persistent to the soldier. The Gundam boys decided that they had enough of this playing around. They jumped out and held their guns out, pointed at the soldiers shouting for them to let the girl go. The girl's eyes widened as she saw the boys there.
Heero watched as the girl mouthed. "It's them..." Heero thought that she might have known they were the Gundam Pilots. If so they needed to get her away from her so they could interrogate her.
The fair haired officer turned to the girl. "Are these your friends?" He asked and saw the look of worry in her eyes directed at the teenagers. "I guess we'll have to show you kids what happens with adults."
Before the officers could do anything the girl did a back flip with the men still holding her causing them to lose their grip slightly on the girl. Once the girl's feet touched the ground she grabbed the wrists of the soldiers and brought them into her, knocking the soldier's heads together. When the men fell to their knees the girl took the gun of the fair haired man and used it to hit the back of his head knocking the guy unconscious. Then she threw the other guy into the wall and pointed the gun at his head. The man quivered in fear at the girl.
She only smirked at the guy. "I'll show you what happens when you deal with me." And she pulled the trigger and the bullet went right through the guys head. The girl was unfazed as the man's body fell to the ground.
Gundam pilots had wide eyes as they watched the girl in awe of her skills. She then started to collect her belongings that were flung over the floor.
"Wow, she's pretty good." Said Duo impressed by the girl.
"She took out two men with no problems." Said Quatre, slightly scared that the girl had done that so easily.
"Impressive." Said Trowa.
"Hn." Heero grunted.
"She's still just an Onna." Said Wufei.
"Call me what you like Chang Wufei." Called out the young girl walking up to them in a British accent. "But I still took those guys out!" All of them were surprised the young girl knew who Wufei was.
"Wufei, do you know her?" Asked Duo turning to Wufei who was silent.
"Duo Maxwell, right?" She asked. "No he doesn't know me." She smirked. "None of you do... But I know each and every one of you!" She placed her hands over her hips trying to show she wasn't sweet and innocent like her features said. Heero raised a gun to her head.
However the girl did not quiver in fear nor did she flinch. The only movement she made was blinking. "Are you going to kill me Heero Yuy?" She asked softly. Obviously she had proven that she knew who they were. "Are you going to kill me like you killed that little girl and her puppy?"
Heero's eyes widened and his hand shake slightly and lowered. The girl took her chance and hit the gun out of Heero's hand before any of them could react. She however continued to smirk. How had she disarmed Heero Yuy so easily when not even armies could do that, She then turned to Quatre and Trowa.
"Quatre Raberba Winner. The only remaining Winner and heir." She then turned and looked at Trowa directly. "Trowa Barton... Also known as Nanishi!" Both Quatre and Trowa were taken back.
The girl closed her eyes. "Duo, the only survivor of the Maxwell church disaster... Wufei married at 14 years old." She opened her eyes and looked at each one. "Have I earned your trust enough that you'll let me come with you?"
"All you've proven to us is that you know a little about us." Said Heero showing no emotion as she continued to smirked
"How could you have known that?" Asked Trowa. "I've told no one about that name..." Trowa then seemed to realize that he had said to much just by saying the word 'name'.
She gave a small laugh. "I would tell you but right now you guys need to get out of here before the OZ troops come looking for their little friends." She smiled. "So can I come?"
All of the boys seemed uneasy about the girl. Quatre was amazed how the girl knew so much about them. Fair enough what she said about Wufei and himself. Anyone could have known that, but knowing about the others. There was something going on her. Quatre walked up to the girl and the other's watched him. The girl's face softened as Quatre stood in front of her. She smiled sweetly at him.
"Hello there, Quatre." She said. Quatre raised his hand and placed it on the cut on the side of the girls head. She winced so he moved his hand away. It almost seemed like she longed for that touch and it was already being taken away from her. "Who are you?" Quatre asked her softly as he watched her eyes cloud over with affection.
"I was once a part of Operation Meteor," she stated softly. "And was also a leading mechanic on the Heavyarms Gundam." Trowa could see that teasing glimmer in her eyes causing him to frown as Quatre looked at him.
"What's your name?" Heero asked with his guard back up..
The young girl went to answer when she saw a red dot appear on top of Quatre's heart. Her eyes widened slightly but unnoticeable by anyone. Someone was going to fire at Quatre. 'No...' She thought. Then an idea hit her. The girl then started to fall forward on to Quatre. Quatre braced himself for the girl's impact. Quatre wrapped his arms around the girls waist as her head rested on his heart. The young girl pretended to faint in order to save Quatre. Whoever was firing at him obviously didn't want to hurt her!
Quatre was surprised when the girl fainted on him. All the others rushed over to Quatre to see if the girl was alright. "Will she be okay?" Asked Quatre as Trowa checked her over.
"She fainted. Either she has lost much blood or her head injury is taking its toll on her." Said Trowa as he carefully laid her on the ground.
"What should we do?" Duo asked leaning over her.
Heero noticed something on the floor and he bent down to pick it up. He then looked at it. It was an ID card. Heero read out what it said. "Evelina Storm. Agent Storm of the History Spy association..."
"I've never heard of that." Wufei muttered not really caring about the girl who had fainted. He noticed something about the girl was off.
"I heard of the name but..." Heero paused. "Maybe Dr J will know more." The entire boy nodded. "Let's take her with us."
Trowa then lifted the girl out of Quatre's arms and they left the building heading for the safe house. Evelina however had not fainted but being in Trowa's arms had caused her to relax, feel safe. Her eye's, even though they were closed where beginning to become heavy and the sleep she had pushed to the back of her mind began to conquer her body.
"DAMN IT! THAT STORM COW!" Yelled a female as she lowered a gun.
The man smirked. "She is clever." He said. "She somehow knew that we aren't allowed to hurt her, so she fainted to stop us..."
"Why the hell do we have to go after Winner first anyway?" Asked the woman turning to the man.
"Kill the brain and the body stops working." The man smirked.
"How is she doing?" Asked Quatre as Trowa walked out of the girl's room. She had been placed in the same room as Quatre so he could take care of her, considering that Quatre was the only one who knew how to take care of a girl.
"She's in a light sleep at the moment." Said Trowa as he turned to Quatre. "She's in your hands now."
Quatre nodded. "Maybe you should go and help Heero finding out who she really is." Quatre suggested as he started to walk into the room. However he was stopped by Trowa placing a hand on his arm.
"I thought you believed her?"
"She never told us anything." Said Quatre. "Heero was the one who told us who she is, remember? Besides she seems different to other soldiers."
"Quatre, don't think that she's going to fill that whole inside you." Said Trowa leaving go of Quatre. "She may look like them, but she is not them."
"Yes I know." Said Quatre turning back to Trowa. "I was there when you did the blood test." Quatre then walked into the room and sat on his bed watching the girl.
Trowa walked down stairs and into the front room to where Heero and Duo where trying to get in contact with either mentors. Trowa walked into the room to see Duo lying on the couch on a laptop and Heero in the arm chair with his laptop. Trowa then walked to the back of the couch.
"Any luck?" Trowa folding his arms and leaned back into comfort. Heero didn't reply.
"No luck at all!" Duo huffed as he closed the laptop and stretched. "Professor G isn't replying." Duo then got up and placed the laptop on the coffee table. "This is ridiculous! Who the hell is she?"
"Dr J!" Heero said as Duo and Trowa walked over to look at Heero's laptop and saw an old man with a claw for a hand.
"You say a History Spy agent, aye?" Asked Dr J "Seems that something is wrong here."
"Dr J we know that." Duo stated with a slight hint of annoyance in his voice.
"What did you say her name was?" He asked.
"Evelina Storm." Heero replied.
The old man laughed like a mad man. "You boys can trust her... She's an old friend. She'll help you with your Gundam's... She even worked on building one of them."
"Heavyarms," Trowa whispered getting a nod in reply.
"But why is she here?" Duo asked leaning forward slightly hoping the old man would give them a decent answer.
"She's there for a reason. Ask her." Said Dr J before the screen went blank.
Evelina opened her eyes and looked around the room. It was a plane while room with a wardrobe and a desk. Evelina was lying on a blue sheeted bed. To her right she saw another bed the same only it had someone on it. Evelina rose from the bed removing the sheets from her and walked over to the other bed. On the bed was a young boy with blond hair asleep. He wore a white long sleeve shirt and a purple waist coat with brown pants hiding the ends of his shirt. One of his hands rested on his chest clutching a letter. Evelina knew this was Quatre. Gundam Pilot of Sandrock.
She then placed her hand on the young blond and shook him. "Quatre, wake up!" She called. Soon ocean blue eyes opened. He seemed a bit confused at whom she was at first then when she took a step back and let the boy sit up. Quatre looked over the young girl discreetly. But not discreetly enough for Evelina to notice. She giggled at the young blond.
"Like what you see?" She joked causing the blond boy to blush.
Quatre then stood up. "Are you alright?" Asked Quatre softly, smiling slightly.
"I'm perfectly fine." She giggled. "I never properly introduced myself." She then extended her hand. "Hi. I'm Evelina Storm." She smiled.
Quatre then shook her hand. "It's nice to meet you Evelina." Quatre held her hand a little more than necessary.
Quatre blushed again as he brought his hand away causing the girl to giggle. "Aw you're more adorable than I remember being told." Said Evelina getting a confused face in return from Quatre. "I meat Instructor H a long time ago." She giggled. "I remember him saying you were kind and sincere."
"Forgive me for seeming rude but how do you know so much about us?" Asked Quatre feeling a little unsure about the girl.
Evelina lost her smile and looked at the ground. "I'm sorry Quatre." She spoke softly. "But my Baka of a teacher told me I'm not a loud to tell you... I'm sorry... You're a sweet guy but I'm not a loud; not now anyway."
"Evelina I-"
Before Quatre could say anything the door slammed open and there stood Duo and Trowa.
"We've got a problem!"

This was a story I wrote years ago and thought I might as well post it. I don't expect anything from this but I just thought I'd post it.
