Trowa panted as he looked over the damage, only one had gotten away, Dorothy. Clicking the safety back onto his gun Trowa turned to Usagi and Hikari "Usa…gi…" Trowa trailed off seeing the blond on the floor, blood beginning to soak into the carpet around her as his eyes widened "USAGI!" he cried dropping to her side as he turned her over pressing his hands against the wound in her side praying for it not to be serious, somewhere in the background he could vaguely hear the radio buzzing and talking but he couldn't make out the words, his only concern was Usagi.
"Trowa…hey…oh god." A voice cried as someone touched his shoulder but he still refused to respond his eyes and mind only on Usagi
"Hikari-chan." Duo cried as he found his daughter nestled on some pillows on Usagi's bed where Usagi had managed to get her, safe…the same could not be said for Usagi herself
"Heero call an ambulance." Quatre called as Trowa looked up at his blond friend, why was everyone speaking so slowly? Why couldn't they move faster, Usagi was going pale, they had to hurry.
"Tr…" Usagi gasped as Trowa's head snapped downwards as he stared at her, she was conscious, with such wounds.
"Don't speak." Trowa urged as a trickle of blood made its way down her cheek
"Chibi…" she gasped as Trowa nodded
"Is fine, worry about yourself." Trowa begged rubbing the blood from her cheek, she was so small and frail…he was scared…he was terrified, that she was going to die, how many had he lost during the wars, he had never felt like this…but for her he…
"Sorry." Usagi whispered as Trowa shook his head vaguely aware of the paramedics beginning emergency procedures, pushing him away, he tried to keep hold of her hand but he was pulled away by Quatre whom was speaking to him, but he couldn't hear.
"It's my fault." Trowa whispered as Quatre continued to talk to him, nothing mattered, only her.

The three men that had gone to the hospital with her all looked up as the doctor walked out wiping his hands on a towel, he looked tired.
"Well…she'll live…the bullet grazed some vitals and there was some internal bleeding but it's been stopped for now, with any luck she'll be fine. Need some bed rest and to be under observation for a few days but all in all." The doctor shrugged as Trowa felt the weight being lifted from his shoulders, she was going to live, Quatre by his side let out a sigh of relief while Duo began to thank god his daughter held tightly in his arms.
"When may we see her?" Quatre asked, the question had been on all their minds but only the blond had voiced it.
"Well tomorrow would be best, she's sleeping now, will for a while hopefully, when she wakes you may come see her."
"Thankyou." Trowa murmured as Duo nodded in agreement
"Yeah…thanks doc, good job." The group was leaving as Duo finally let out his whoop of joy. "Man I thought my heart would stop…this can't be good for someone my age, this type of stress." Duo chuckled as Quatre nodded
"It is relieving to hear…Usagi is too good a person to be lost to something so stupid. They must have been using the gate as a distraction to go for Relena but got the wrong room, that was the room Relena previously used after all." Quatre said as Trowa nodded slowly his mind on the recent events as a frown touched his lips, something felt off about that explanation, something…wasn't right with Usagi, as much as he didn't want to admit it, Heero was right, she was hiding something, and he had a feeling it was something that was essential to these events.
"Trowa?" Duo asked noting the frown as the taller ex-pilot shook his head, it couldn't be possible, who would be after someone as sweet as Usagi.
/pb/
"Doctor…DOCTOR!" the nurse called as the doctor came running as he stared in shock
"Im…Impossible."
/pb/
"Come ON guys, we can see Usa today, come on, hurry up." Duo urged as he marched into the hospital three men behind him as someone had needed to stay with Relena, AKA Heero.
"I don't see why I was dragged on this stupid thing, I don't care about the onna, so LET ME GO MAXWELL!" Wufei roared as a few nurses glared at him as the Chinese pilot growled and swore but quietly.
"Hey…we're here to see Usagi Tsukino." Duo announced at the front desk as the girl sitting there nodded looking through some files as her eyes widened and she glanced at them then back to the sheet.
"A…umm…you'll need to see Dr Ishida first." The woman stuttered causing a frown to touch their lips, was something wrong?
"Okay…where is he?" Duo asked as the nurse pointed to a tall man behind them dressed in the customary lab coat of doctors.
"Winner-san correct? You brought Usagi-san in yesterday?" the man asked as Quatre nodded shaking his hand firmly as the man motioned for them to follow him and led them to another room.
"Is something wrong with Usa? Did something happen to her?" Duo demanded as the doctor sighed looking them all over and motioning for them to sit as he took a seat of his own
"She's fine…which is the problem." He said causing Quatre to frown deeply
"I don't see how that is a-"
"Her wounds are completely gone." Ishida interrupted as Trowa's mouth fell open in surprise and Quatre, Duo and Wufei stared in shock.
"That's not possible."
"Not only that…we ran a few tests to determine the cause of her healing…and…do any of you know anything about biology?" Ishida asked as the group all nodded, basic training from back before the war.
"Look at this cell." Ishida said clicking on a screen and causing the boys to all look, and all stare.
"That's…from Usagi?" Quatre clarified as Ishida nodded
"Usagi-san…isn't human, not even genetically." Ishida clarified
"Wait…are you trying to say she's an alien? Usagi? Our Usagi?" Duo demanded as Ishida shrugged
"I don't know what she is…all I know that healing at that rate is impossible, I don't care who your doctor is…and this is just…baffling…I want to keep her for some observation and testing." Ishida said as Trowa stood suddenly
"No." he said as Ishida frowned
"I think it prudent."
"No."
"Trowa." Quatre soothed looking up at the tall brunette as Trowa shook his head
"No. She may not know herself…she was…raised by a family here…she wouldn't want to be…she hates hospitals." Trowa finally got out as Duo sighed, Trowa was the most stubborn of them, even if he didn't seem it.
"Allow us to speak to her, then we will tell you our decision." Quatre said making Ishida nod, that was the best he was going to get at the moment…but he couldn't let this girl go, she was incredible, what she could do for science…
"Trowa." Quatre murmured a hand on his arm as Trowa tugged it away, he couldn't let Quatre read his emotions, not now.
"I'm fine. Tired." Trowa explained while Quatre sighed, that was all he was going to get from him, Trowa needed to let his emotions out sometime, he was more repressed emotionally then Heero…and he refused to let anyone close enough to help him.
"Hey…now that we know this…is it possible…the bad guys have been after Usa? For what she is I mean? Maybe she doesn't know at all…and Serenity is some sort of codename for her…" Duo mused aloud as Trowa felt his hand tighten into a fist at the thought of people after her, wanting to hurt her.
"It's a possibility we have to consider now…we'll talk to Heero about it when we get back to the mansion." Quatre sighed glancing over at Trowa as the tall teen studied anything but his friends.
"Ah…hey now kiddo…daddy's sorry he's been ignoring you…please don't cry?" Duo begged as Hikari woke finally and began to cry haltingly breaking the mood somewhat as they entered Usagi's room to find her sleeping.
"Maybe we should come back" Duo asked as Trowa frowned stepping over to her bed to look down at her, she didn't seem as pale, the doctor had said she was fully healed, he guessed that must be true then.
"No…don't." Duo begged quietly as Hikari began to cry again causing Usagi to stir as she opened her eyes looking up at Trowa staring for a moment before letting her eyes wander and fall on Duo and Hikari.
"What happened?" she rasped out as Quatre helped her sit and Trowa got her some water
"There was an attack on the mansion, do you remember?" Quatre asked as Usagi frowned for a moment before nodding, she remembered the blond with the scary eyebrows alright.
"Why am I in hospital?" Usagi asked as Trowa glanced at Quatre, they couldn't tell her, ask her, what if she didn't know?
"Just…under observation, you were unconscious for a while." Quatre said carefully as Usagi nodded and he sighed in relief, seemed she hadn't detected his lie, and didn't recall the previous night.
"Hikari?" Usagi asked making Duo grin and bring his now quiet daughter over to see her
"I even changed her…once." He announced making Wufei roll his eyes
"Big accomplishment Maxwell, how many times has the onna changed her?" he demanded causing Duo to pout as Usagi giggled accepting Hikari into her arms and cuddling her close not noting the smile touching Trowa's lips, she would make a wonderful mother some day…wait…he shouldn't be thinking these things.
"Usagi…the doctors want to keep you here a little longer…just in case." Quatre said finally broaching the subject as Usagi looked at him sharply.
"Can't I go back to the mansion…please? I hate hospitals." Usagi cried making Quatre feel immediately guilty
"We can…it was just a suggestion." Quatre assured as Usagi sighed in relief.
"I'll go tell the doctor." Trowa murmured as Quatre nodded and turned back to Usagi pushing his recently learned knowledge from his mind
/pb/
"You fool!" the man snapped slapping her hard across her face as Dorothy shivered in rage but contained her emotions with some effort.
"I didn't say capture her…I want her dead and out of the way, understood! Do it again, and do it right this time." Pharaoh 90 hissed as Dorothy nodded one hand against her flaming cheek letting her eyes drift to the door hiding Demando from view
"Does his majesty know you have a different order from him?" she asked slyly gaining another red mark on her cheek a grown escaping her lips.
"Just do your part, and I will make sure we keep ours." He hissed as Dorothy nodded bowing slightly to him before leaving.
/pb/
"Trowa…I have some information I think you should know." Quatre said as the tall teen looked over at him in confusion as Quatre beckoned him over from his place watching Usagi in the gardens with Hikari as he handed over the file. "Heero found this out about Usagi-san…they weren't going to tell you…but I thought you needed to know." Quatre said studying Trowa's reaction while the elder read his face paling slightly, barely noticeably, but it had paled.
"Is this accurate?" he asked as Quatre nodded
"Yes…I'm sorry Trowa…she doesn't know…of course she doesn't…but…I thought you should know…" Quatre murmured while Trowa looked down at the file again, he had killed her fiancé…he had destroyed her heart just like that…
/pb/
"Trowa?" Usagi asked in confusion as the young man stood in her doorway lingeringly after dropping her off back at her room, even for Trowa he was being much too quiet, there was something about his silence that made her feel apprehensive.
"I'm sorry." He said cryptically before stepping out and closing the door behind him, leaving a confused and frowning Usagi in his wake.
/pb/
"So are we killing her or not?" her second in command asked as Dorothy smirked
"We're not…we swore to Demando, not that phantom freak, we follow our original orders. If we want power, we have to cater to Prince Demando, not to some advisor. We capture her, bring her to him, and leave more powerful beings." Dorothy said making her second nod in understanding
"Plan B then?"
"Yes, plan B."
