"Hedy?" a male voice questioned as he walked into the dark room to wake the girl that was having a nightmare.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHH!" suddenly Hedy came to life and with one sure-fire punch knocked the man clean away from her and into a wall. Then she stood and was about to run to the door when more male voices came and turned on the lights. All it took was Hedy to see Heero before she ran to him and hid her head in his shirt.
"Quatre!" Duo and the others were shocked to see their friend wincing as he tried to stand.
"Hedy, it is alright, you are safe. There is no need to fear, that man is dead," Heero calmed the frightened girl.
"Then who…?" Hedy shivered.
"Look."
Hedy turned to look and gasped in shock and horror, "Quatre? I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I…" Hedy began to cry as she tried to sink to the floor, but Heero refused to let her do so.
"M-Miss Hedy, it's alright. I only came to wake you because I felt your fear," Quatre winced as he got to his feet.
"I'm so sorry Quatre," Hedy continued to cry.
"Wufei, please escort Haidee back to her room," Heero waited for Wufei to acknowledge him before turning back to Duo and the others. "Trowa, follow him."
Once they were gone, Heero looked down at Hedy his eyes telling her to do something. Hedy hesitated for a moment before biting her lip, "I'll wait till the other two get back."
"Hn."
Trowa arrived soon to check Quatre's ribs, finding no permanent damage was a blessing, but there was one heck of a bruise. Wufei arrived shortly after, sporting a red hand mark on his cheek.
"Back at the other base… I was nearly raped. I managed to get away and run into Heero. Heero shot the guy. The nightmares seem to be a byproduct of the attack," Hedy felt as if she had done the others a great evil by not telling them sooner to prevent what had happened to Quatre.
"Hedy, I'm glad you told us," Quatre came and placed a hand on her shoulder in comfort.
"Would you like us to help you get over it?" Trowa asked calmly.
"Hai," Hedy whispered.
"I'll help too, because onnas are…"
"Weak? When have I ever claimed to be strong, Wolfy? Everyone has their fears, just turns out that I now have a new one to conquer. No big, eventually I'll master my fear over it, just like a few of my other fears."
"Hn," Heero kept his arms around Hedy's waist, ensuring that she would stay. "For now, I believe it is best if Hedy stays in Duo's and my room."
"Quatre, maybe you could keep Haidee with you and Trowa?" Duo asked. "I don't want my other sister to have this happen to her."
"Alright Duo," Quatre smiled sadly.
"Now, don't keep her up all night with your snoring Maxwell," Wufei sneered as he turned and left the area.
"You know, sometimes I think he's either still grieving or gay..." Hedy stated.
The rest of the Gundam pilots looked at her in shock and surprise, before Duo grimaced, "Ares… that was not exactly something I wanted to hear."
"Ah, sorry, thinking aloud can sometimes be a bad thing," Hedy blushed.
"Hn," Heero smirked.
"Don't 'Hn' me, Mr. Yuy," Hedy crossed her arms and mock-glared at Heero.
"Hn."
"Heerooooooooo," Hedy pouted playfully, causing Duo and Quatre to laugh.
