Chapter 2

Duo didn't remember how he ended up in his room. The last thing he remembered was thinking he was crazy when he saw the Gundams playing a card game, BS no less.

But why BS? It wasn't like the Gundams could make faces or anything, right? But then again since he was in his bed, it could have been a dream, a vivid dream.

Duo tried to sit up only to stop when intense throbbing in his head stopped him. Throbbing? Why was his head throbbing? He didn't remember doing anything to injure himself or give the guys any reason to harm him, so what happened?

Duo laid his head back on the pillow, willing the throbbing to go away.

It wasn't.

Duo threw one of his many pillows over his head to block out the sunlight, knowing that it wouldn't work but was hoping that it would.

Little by little the throbbing stopped. Now if only he could get some aspirin. Surely that would stop the throbbing from coming back, or so he hoped. The only problem was that he needed to get out of his room to get the aspirin and he couldn't even sit up in his own bed, let alone walk to his door.

"Great," he mumbled. "I'd injured myself which caused that freaky dream about the Gundams being alive. Now my head is throbbing like there's no tomorrow when I try to sit up and I can't get the blasted aspirin."

Duo let his mind wonder back to his dream. He went to the hanger and found all five of the Gundams playing cards. Nataku had a woman's voice while the rest didn't. And why was Wing saying that he couldn't win against Heero? What was he trying to win? And more importantly, where had the Gundams gotten that hug deck of playing cards. If it wasn't a dream then he would have noticed a huge deck of cards lying around, right? Seeing as he had never seen a deck that huge before, it must have been a dream.

I would hate to see if it wasn't a dream, but it would be funny to see the guy's reactions when they found out. Good thing it was a dream otherwise I would be insane and an insane Duo isn't a good thing.

DOWNSTAIRS

Heero, Quatre, Wufei and Trowa were sitting in the family room. Quatre and Trowa were on one couch, Heero on another and Wufei on a chair. They were talking about Duo and his accident.

"Can you believe that baka? He goes to the hanger and knocks himself out," said Wufei.

"I hope Duo is fine," said Quatre. "That he didn't give himself a concussion."

"We should check on him every half hour or so to see when he wakens," said Trowa. "Do you know what happened Heero?"

Heero had been the one to find Duo knocked out in the hanger. When he opened the hanger door, he found Duo lying on his back on the floor, tools around his feet. He must have tripped and hit his head on the way down with the crater. "Duo tripped and knocked himself out. There were no signs of a struggle."

Wufei smirked. "The baka knocked himself out, there is justice. I would've like to see him do it."

"Wufei," Quatre said startled. "What if this is serious? You can't be happy that Duo injured himself, what would happen if we were called on a mission?"

"We'd leave the baka and actually have some peace and quite before the battle."

Trowa got up from the couch and started to leave the room.

"Trowa?" Quatre asked.

"Duo." With that said, Trowa went upstairs to check on Duo. Duo had woken up but looked like he was lost in thought over something.

A few minutes passed before Duo noticed Trowa leaning in the doorway, arms crossed. "Hey T, do you think you could get me some aspirin?"

Trowa nodded and went to fulfill Duo's request. Upon returning, Duo was still lying down. "Can you sit up?"

"Not unless I want my head to spilt from throbbing," Duo half joked.

Trowa gave the aspirin to Duo and helped him take it. He then sat on the side of the bed. "What happened?"

"Ya know, I don't remember. Somewhere between walking to the hanger and waking up here I must have hit my head. You don't want to know about the weird dream I had."

Trowa raised an eyebrow. "You don't know if you hit your head?"

"If my dream had anything to say about it, I'd say that Nataku knocked me out."

That raised Trowa's other eyebrow, even if you couldn't see it behind his hair.

HANGER

"Why'd you go and hit Duo for?" Deathscythe demanded.

Nataku was looking at her nails, or she would have if she had any. "We couldn't let our secret out now could we? It was the best way to deal with the problem."

"By giving him a concussion?"

"Just think of it this way, you won't have to worry about being damaged for a while."

"Women! They're impossible!" Deathscythe said in disgust.

"And you know you love it, right Deathy? What would you and the other do if I wasn't around?"

"Have our humans in full health."

Nataku was now humoring Deathscythe. "And what would be the fun in that?"

Deathscythe growled. "I just can't win, can I?"

"Nor should you try."

The other three Gundams were looking on the other two, amused with the show.

"Do you think we went too far with handling Duo?" asked Sandrock.

"He'll probably not remember what he saw," said Heavyarms.

"Or think it was a dream," Wing added. "Heero did look like he was in a foul mood when he found Duo."

"All of them would have been when they found Duo. I know I would be if I found that you guys were destroyed. Who would I have to talk to, it's not like I can go up to Trowa and say hi. Look at what happened to Duo, he thought he went crazy. I know that…."

"Quiet!" Nataku and Deathscythe shouted at the same time. They were getting tired of hearing Heavyarms voice.

"What?"

"That's it, I'm gonna kill him," said Deathscythe as he started to move towards Heavyarms.

"Whoa, wait up, you don't want to do that," said Heavyarms as he started to back away.

"Oh yes I do. All I hear is talk talk talk from you and Duo. That could make someone insane, never having a moment of peace and silence. Why can't you take after your pilot Trowa? He's quiet; he doesn't drive people or mecha insane."

"Because that would be boring. If I didn't talk, no one would be talking down here."

With that said Deathscythe dove towards Heavyarms. When Heavyarms avoided the attack, Deathscythe just started a new one, not noticing how much noise, or mess, they were making in the process.

HEERO, QUATRE & WUFEI

The three pilots felt the ground shake underneath their feet and could hear muffled noises.

"What was that?" questioned Quatre.

"You don't think we're under attack?" Wufei asked.

"Sounds like it's coming from the lower level," said Heero.

"The hanger?" Quatre asked.

Heero nodded as he raced out of the room and down towards the hanger, gun in hand. If they were under attack, he would be ready.

Quatre and Wufei soon followed, also having their weapons drawn, safety off.

When they arrived at the hanger door, they saw Heero searching the room. The room was a huge mess but thankfully the Gundams were still there. Crates were knocked over and broken, catwalks barely hanging, tools and other objects littered the floor. Some of the debris you couldn't even tell what it once was.

Heero motioned with his gun where he wanted the other thee pilots to search. Trowa had just shown up as the other two were surveying the damage. The three quickly did what Heero told them but they weren't able to find anyone and nothing looked like it had been stolen. There was just this big mess, no indication of who could have done it.

"Report," called Heero.

"Nothing here," said Wufei.

"I also found nothing," said Quatre.

Trowa shook his head no.

Heero looked really peeved. He had also found nothing. That was unacceptable. There had to be a clue somewhere. This person just couldn't have disappeared into thin air. There was an explanation and he was going to find it. "Check the rest of the house."

Upon searching the rest of the house, Wufei had found Duo in the kitchen. Duo was sitting at the table with his head resting against it, arms wrapping around. "Maxwell?"

"Fei, make the room stop spinning," Duo said weakly.

Wufei ignored his nickname as he took a closer look at pilot 02. Duo's face was a light shade of red and sweat was forming on his forehead. Duo's eyes were also a little glazed over.

"Maxwell?" Wufei asked once more. He wasn't sure if Duo was acting this way from hitting his head earlier or if it was because of an enemy.

As if knowing what Wufei was thinking Duo said "I haven't seen anyone. What's going on?"

Keeping a weary eye out Wufei told Duo. "Someone broke into the hanger and trashed it."

"Did they…"

"Everything is still there but now the enemy is hiding."

"This really bites. If I hadn't hit my head I could've helped you guys."

"Keep an eye out while I check the rest of this floor. The others are checking the other stories," said Wufei as he walked out of the kitchen to finish his duty.

HANGER

After the door closed behind the last pilot Nataku slapped Deathscythe upside the head. "Look, you two idiots almost got us caught! What would we have done then?"

"It's all Heavyarms fault. If he would learn to keep his mouth shut then none of this would have happened," Deathscythe proclaimed.

"Is not," Heavyarms demanded.

"Is too," Deathscythe called back.

"Is not."

"Is too."

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is n… Owe!"

Deathscythe snorted. Nataku had just slapped Heavyarms upside the head. "Will you two ever grow up?"

"If we grew up, how would we fit in the hanger?" Heavyarms asked.

Nataku slapped him upside the head again. "I don't know why I bother," she mumbled to herself.

Deathscythe smiled, or he would of if he could, as he slung one arm around Nataku's shoulders. "You like racing, right?"

"No, I feel like introducing someone's head to a baseball bat," Nataku replied darkly.

Deathscythe let his arm drop from Nataku's shoulders. "Anything else you feel like doing?"

AN Okay, I know there really was no point in that chapter other than Duo thinking his memory was a dream and to peeve Heero off, but it was still fun. If any of you have any ideas, I am more than willing to listen. I do somewhat have a plan but that doesn't mean that I can't add in more stuff, right? Reviews also welcomed and hoped for. smiles
