******************************* Duo lifted his head as he heard the door to his cell open. He had spent hours looking for a way out, but the white walls offered no hope of escape. Finally, exhausted and still weak from the drugs in his system, he had collapsed in a corner and fallen asleep.
Now he saw the door open, and a glimmer of hope returned. He rose, preparing to rush the door, but before he could react, a figure was tossed roughly inside. The door was slammed shut and bolted.
Duo knelt near the person, and turned him gently over. Heero. The Japanese boy was flushed and sweating. He moaned as Duo touched him, and pain tightened his features. What have they done to you, Heero? Duo wondered silently. He quickly stripped off his shirt and pillowed it under Heero's head. Then, Duo leaned back against a nearby wall to hold vigil over Heero. They would not take him again.
Some time later, hours or days. Duo didn't know, the door opened again, and a lady doctor entered. Duo tensed, prepared to fight, but the woman quickly help up her hands.
"I wanted to check on your friend," she whispered. "I am here to help you."
Duo glared. "Why should I trust you?"
The lady looked surprised. She recomposed herself. "Because you have no other choice," she replied smoothly.
Grimacing, Duo nodded.
"My name is Dr. Laine," she said. "Can you wake him up?"
Duo bent over Heero and shook him as gently as he could. "C'mon Heero, you have to wake up. There's a doctor here, and she's going to help you."
Heero's eyes flew open. He pushed himself up and tried to scoot away from the doctor. "No," he hissed.
Duo took hold of Heero's shoulders and gently forced him to lie down. Heero was still very weak, so it was an easy feat. "I won't let her hurt you," Duo promised.
Prussian blue eyes locked on Duo's violet ones. "I never lie," Duo said.
Finally, Heero nodded. Dr. Laine knelt next to Duo. She gently took Heero's wrist and took his pulse and gave him a thermometer to hold in his mouth. She frowned.
Muttering, she said, "I told them not to give him that drug. If no one had come to check on him, he would have died."
Duo eyes widened with worry. "Can you help him?" he whispered desperately.
Dr. Laine smiled kindly. "Yes, he'll be all right."
She took a syringe out of her pocket. She grasped Heero's elbow gently, but he flinched and snatched it away. "No," he repeated. His eyes were filled with fear.
Duo's face was lined with worry. "Don't worry," Dr. Laine said. "The fearless Heero Yuy will return once the drug wears off. It's just a side effect."
He nodded silently. He placed a restraining hand on Heero's shoulder and held his wrist gently with the other hand. Heero didn't struggle, but he watched Duo out of half-lidded eyes and breathed shallowly as Dr. Laine gave him the shot.
As Dr. Laine withdrew the needle from Heero's arm, his eyes were already sagging shut. Soon, he was deeply asleep. Dr. Laine stood and opened the door to leave.
"Thank you," Duo said.
"They will come for you next," Dr. Laine warned. "Be ready."
Duo nodded gravely.
Dr. Laine stepped out. Duo heard voices in the hall. She re- entered. "Duo, you are to go with them now."
