Duo was in.
The OZ base had been lightly guarded, and in no time he had been able to break in to the lab. The other four had entered from different areas, and they now all collected in the small lab. They all made their way towards their goal, a top-secret new experiment.
Duo had been chatting with, or more like at, Heero, and was making Quatre nervous. "Duo, could you stop talking please? You might alert someone and endanger the mission!" Duo laughed quietly.
"Naw...I could do this when I was five and livin' on the streets, man!" While he was saying this, an alarm had somehow gone off that they did not know about, sending OZ officers scurrying towards them. One, in an over inthusiastic lunge to capture Trowa, hit into a gun-shaped experiment. A bright yellow-green light slammed into Duo, and blinded everyone when it ingulfed the room in light. When the light faded, Duo was the first to notice a ratty-haired kid standing next to him, looking around confused.
"Damn! Who's that? Well, grab her and lets get out, I've got the expariment!" Heero yelled, and they all bolted for their excape routes, Duo carrying the mysterious kid along with him. They raced into their Gundams, but Duo found that he had no room in DeathScythe for the kid. Wing, however, had some extra room, so he tossed the strangely silent [yet still alive... ^.^] child to Heero. Heero shoved the kid into Wing, then got in himself, and took off.
After he was safely away from the base, Heero turned to the kid, who had stayed silent the whole time. "What are you doing here, girl? An OZ base is *very* dangerous. We're going to have to keep you in our safehouse until we can figure out what to do with you." Startling violet eyes looked up at Heero, unafraid of being in the Gundam, and looking only a little wary of him. The eyes looked very familiar to Heero, but the rest of the face was covered in grime, including the long hair.
"Boy. I am a boy. And no, I have no idea why I was in an OZ base." Heero nodded, then turned back to the controls. Heero flew for hours, and somewhere along the way the boy had fallen asleep. He began to land, and soon he was siting in the hanger of Quatre's safehouse.
Seeing no other option, Heero picked the kid up in his arms and carryed him out. He walked up some stairs, then expertly navigated the hallways to the living room where everyone usually hung out.
He walked in, and received one bored glance, one expressionless look and two excited and jumpy pilots wanting to see the kid. "It's not a girl, he's a boy." Heero stated, then noticed a certain annoying blond [not *Quatre* He's kawaii, not annoying!] sitting on the love seat. "Relena." He nodded at her, then set the boy down on the couch.
Duo, Quatre, and even Trowa and Wufei crouded around to see the boy, and somehow he ended up, stil sleeping, laying across Quatre and Trowa's laps, with his head supported by Wufei. Duo was looking down at the boy, a confused look on his face. And the kid looked really comfortable, too. Duo ran off to get some washcloths, and Heero sat down next to the couch to look at the sleeping boy.
On impulse, he reached down and brushed the boy's cheek with his hand. The boy cuddled into Heero's touch, and Heero gave a slight smile [which ='s a big silly grin in Duo standards, mind you...] Relena, not happy at being ignored, got up to kneel next to the couch. She was about to do the same as Heero, he hand was inches away from the boy's face, when his eyes flew open.
He jumped up and grabbed her arm, and the next thing she knew, she had her arm twisted behind her and was face-down in the carpet. The boy was wild-eyed, and franticly looking for an escape. Finding none, he crouched low to the ground, with no one behind him, and staired fearfully at everyone in the room.
Quatre looked with pleading eyes at the poor frantic boy. "We wont hurt you!" The little boy growled fiercly. "Su~ure you wont. Wanna come over here and prove it?" The boy pulled out a sharp knife, and looked quite ready to use it. Heero was about to take him down, when an attack came from behind.
The boy now found himself in pritty much the same position he had just had Relena in moments before, only a little looser, and not as painful looking.
He winced, as if waiting to be hit, but was instead pulled to his feet by Duo, who was still holding a bunch of wet washcloths. Violet eyes met violet, and both widened at what they saw. Duo led the boy to the kitchen, and began scrubbing the grime off of the boy's face.
He looked at the unwashed mass of hair, and brought the boy over to the sink, carrying a towel and shampoo. When all of the hair was washed, Duo expertly dried it off. Pulling a tie out of his pocket, he braided the boy's hair. He stood in front of the boy, and took in his over all appearance. Leaning in, he looked on the boy's leg. Seeing a huge gash running down the calf, he thought for a moment, then seemed to get an answer somewhere in his memory. He nodded to himself, and brought him back into the room for the others to see.
"Well, guys. Say hello to Duo Maxwell, age 7 ½.
