Heero gathered up the girl while Trowa hoisted Wufei up and Quatre supported Duo. The pilots trooped to the infirmary where Trowa took the needle over to the analyzer. Heero worked at securing the female pilot to the bed with Gundanium bracelets and chains.

Quatre was tending to their fallen brothers. "I don't think that she would have attacked if we hadn't touched her."

Duo moaned, "We had to touch her or else she would have bled to death in her own cockpit."

"Yes, but you grabbed her wrists like you were chaining her," Quatre murmured feeling Wufei's scalp carefully.

"Then she's going to be in a lovely mood when she wakes up. Even Heero would have trouble breaking out of the things he's putting on her," Duo gasped out.

Trowa looked at him in concern, "Duo?"

"It's getting harder to breath and I can't see anything in focus."

Heero moved to cataloging her wounds. "She has at least four broken rips, extreme bruising of the abdomen, five deep slashes across her arms and legs, and two gunshot wounds. It seems she has a fractured shin bone as well."

"Ouch, she's been roughed up recently then," Duo said. There was an inkling of pity in his voice. Sure she had needled him, but being roughed up was harsh. He probably would have reacted similarly in her position.

The analyzer chirped. Trowa read the data. "The needle was filled with a toxin called Belladonna atrope, or Nightshade.

"Hah! Hahahah," Duo exclaimed, "That's a good one."

The three standing pilots gazed at him in askance wondering if their baka was still lucid.

"Don't you get it? Nightshade. Find solace in the kiss of night. She meant the kiss of poisoned death. I like this girl!" Duo crowed then started coughing.

"Shut up and breathe, Duo," Heero snapped.

"We need the antidote, or Duo will likely die," Trowa said. "It's something called Physostigmine."

"I will search the Gundam. She should carry the antidote with her." Heero disappeared out the door at a near run.

Quatre glided over to the still girl. "We should bandage the rest of her wounds."

Trowa joined him carrying a needle and thread. With a grimace, Quatre started stitching the gashes closed while Trowa cleaned out the bullet wounds. They had nearly finished before Heero finally returned with two slim metal cases and his laptop. Silently he laid his burden on the counter and wired his laptop to the first of the cases, setting it to hack the locks. It took only a few seconds for the case to click open.

Heero lifted the lid to reveal two gleaming rows of syringes. "Here." He lifted one and read the label. "Two units."

"Ah, come on man, your not really going to stick me with that are you? That needle is like three inches!" Duo moaned.

"Shot or death?" Came the ultimatum.

"Just get it done."

"Hold still this has to hit a vein."

The antidote took effect quickly and Duo's breathing eased. "Well that was fun. I think I'll just stay here awhile."

"Hn." Heero left him to check Wufei. His breathing was irregular. Heero peeled up an eyelid. The obsidian pupils were dilated as Duo's had been. "I believe she got Wufei with her poison as well. Will the antidote have an adverse affect if there is no poison?"

"The file says nothing about it," Trowa said. "You could be right; he should not still be out from one kick."

Heero administered the antidote. Wufei's eyes opened minutes later. "That onna had better be dead. This is an injustice! She only hit me once." He muttered several other incomprehensible things in Chinese.

"She poisoned you, Wuffers, she got me too. Nasty stuff." Duo grinned. "She's good."

"Poison? She used poison? Weak onna, cannot even fight fairly." Chinese streamed from Wufei's mouth.

"That was not very nice, Wufei," Quatre admonished. "Where did you learn such awful language?"

"What'd he say? Come on tell me, you know I haven't learned Chinese yet, Duo begged.

Heero left the others quarrel about the best curse words and returned to the bridge setting the autopilot for earth where their next mission awaited. After messaging the Doctors their position and about the female pilot, Heero settled against the infirmary wall to await the pilot's awakening.

Tbc.

Yay another chapter finished. I am switching to the girl's pov next time.

So is it still worth reading??? Reviews are the pillars of the muse.
