Yua was bored out of her mind in her confinement on the space shuttle, therefore it was a pleasant surprise when another person was thrown in with her, especially considering it was her best friend. No, not likely. "Why, Wufei Chang. Have you come to accompany me in my humble abode?", she teases. He looks at her surprised. Looking her over to see the bad state she's in. It was easy to see that she was treated badly.
"What the hell are you doing here?", he questions. She shrugs, "I've been hanging around the wrong crowd." He raises a brow. "I knew you were trouble the moment I laid eyes on you." Yua sighs, sinking into her chair. "Really? I do think you've got it wrong though. I am on your side." "From what I've learned, you were raised is the house of an OZ officer." "Raised, more like trained, or condition is another word I've come by." "Does it matter? You're with OZ." "Don't make ridiculous assumptions Wufei, who do you think killed him?", she argues. He looks taken aback. "You did that?" "Well yes, why do you think I'm here? Not for the great food, that's for sure."
He rolls his eyes. "Fine. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But don't cross me the wrong way woman.", he warns. "Thanks Wufei, it's nice to know you care.", she giggles. He sighs heavily. "How the hell did I end up here with you of all people.", he groans to himself. "Just lucky I guess." "Shut up.", he says, crossing his arms and turning away from her. Yua can barely contain her laugh. Wufei is just too easy to mess with.
On the way they make a short stop. They are surprised when Heero takes his seat next to Yua. He looks at her just as confused, making Wufei confused for several reasons. One, they seem to have met and two, their likeliness is scary when they do that. "Well, this is getting better with the minute. If this keeps going, we're going to have a party soon.", Yua comments.
"I take it you were successful?", Heero asks. "Well, halfway successful you can say.", she say motioning to her cuffs. "Plus, considering who captured me, I'm not quite there yet." Heero nods in understanding. Wufei huffs, "I feel like I missed something important." "Aww, don't worry Wufei. I can bring you up to date if you'd like.", she says sweetly making him groan. "No thanks, I changed my mind.", he says making the girl snicker. Heero raises a brow at this. "That guy is hilarious.", she comment to Heero, making him shake his head. He can only imagine what she put him through. Getting a rise out of Wufei seems to give her a kick. Maybe that's how she works. The harder you try to avoid her, the harder she'll try. Heero feels glad that he chose a different path than Wufei. She's okay in his book.
"We're headed to the Lunar base.", Wufei says after a moment. "Are they using us as test pilots for the new models?", he asks. "Maybe a target for them. Even OZ admits that we're pretty lively.", Heero says. "Treize is getting thirsty for mortal combat, and the overconfident colonies will soon realize just how much stronger Treize really is.", Wufei says after a moment. "I'm not so sure.", Yua responds gazing outside. "Hm?" "He doesn't seem like he's happy with how things are going." "How can you be so sure?", Wufei asks. "From what I've seen of him, this doesn't completely suit his character."
Wufei looks at her surprised, for one because she's finally speaking normally to him and two, because of what she's saying. "Have you met him?" She nods. "While I was imprisoned on earth he came by a few times." She looks up at Wufei's confused face. "I don't understand his motivations for coming those times either, but it didn't seem like he wanted to rule over Earth and space that badly. Perhaps he only goes along with it now, because that is expected of him." Wufei doesn't say anything more as each answer only leaves him more confused.
When they reach the base, there is some commotion going on. Apparently Tsuborov doesn't want me in the same cell as the guys. "I'm sorry sir, but all other cells are full at this time." The old man sighs frustrated. "Fine, but if one comes available, put her in isolation." And with that they are moved into their temporary home. "Why put you in isolation?", Wufei asks. "Because he can't torture me when I'm with others." "This guy really hates your guts.", Heero comments to Yua. "Yeah, well, the feeling's mutual."
It was not even the next day when all hell seemed to break loose. Shots were fired, grenades exploded. It was keeping Yua out of sleep. At some point things went quiet again. Taking this chance she closed her eyes again only to be disturbed when the door opened. A guy with long braided hair was thrown in before the door was shut once again.
"Ha! Brilliant.", exclaims Yua. All that hassle only to join them in the brig. "Botched your mission?", Wufei asked pointedly. "You couldn't destroy the base and you couldn't kill Doctor J and the others.", Heero joins in. The guy just lays on the floor, not moving an inch. He seemed to have gotten quite the beating. "Don't rub it in.", he mumbles. "I'm still glad I came. Good news. Your Gundam and mine are being rebuilt.", he says to Wufei. "I can hardly wait."
This seems to spark a thought in Heero's mind. "It looks like OZ will be keeping us alive for the time being. It looks like a good chance, so don't die yet." "Don't worry about me, I don't plan on dying that easily. There's the colonies to fight for, just watch, I'll be the god of death once again." He then notices the stranger with them. "Hey, a girl.", he exclaims. "Would love to chat with ya, but you know… Well…goodnight.", he states before passing out. Yua smirks at him. What an odd guy. The next day when he came to, she learned this guy was called Duo Maxwell. He seemed like a pretty upbeat person, though bored easily. Yua supposed that it was the reason why he flirted with her so much. She learned not to take it seriously though.
It was a week into their joined captivity when Yua was ushered outside. She was going to be questioned. For what she didn't know as she didn't believe they could gain anything from talking to her. She was surprised to see Trowa as one of the soldiers escorting her, though she didn't try to show it. Heero told her before that he was undercover, working as an OZ soldier. She just didn't see him until today. She was glad to see that he was doing okay.
Trowa in return was also glad that Yua seemed to be in a relative good condition. He heard about Michael getting killed, but he never did find out what happened with Yua after that. OZ hushed things up pretty well. And since it took until now to get a sign of life from her he wasn't sure what to think. It's good to see that she kept her promise.
Taking her to a room, Yua was seated down at a table before being strapped down, which she thought a little curious. She guessed it was logical, considering cuffs couldn't hold her back if she really wanted to do some damage. It didn't take long before Tsuborov joined her and the soldiers inside. Seeing as he let them stay also proved to her that he was afraid of her doing something rash. This made her curious though. What did he want to discuss that made him expect her to throw a fit?
He laughed a little, like he knew a joke she didn't. "Have you brought me here just to poke fun at me, or are you actually going to say something?", she asked humorlessly. "Oh, there is. Don't worry about that." He takes a deep breath. "I knew there was a reason why I left you alive for this long." Yua quirks a brow. "And what reason might that be?" "You've been keeping a big secret from me young lady.", he says laying two sheets of paper in front of Yua.
Looking them over, it seemed like DNA profiles. What was she supposed to see? "What am I looking at here?", she questions, genuinely curious. "Your DNA profile.", he says pointing at the left one before turning to the other one. "Your brothers'." Yua blinked, hardly able to keep her mouth from falling open. She secretly glanced at Trowa who seemed perplexed at the news, telling her that he didn't know of the subject. "My what?", Yua asked breathlessly. "Don't act stupid now. It explains the reason why you sought out the Gundam pilots. 01 is your brother.", he says chuckling.
Yua gapes at the old man. "01? Heero?!" Tsuborov laughs in glee. Trowa can only blink and stare at the two of them, not believing what he's hearing. "This could prove to be very useful information. Never did I expect that the brother of the girl I took that day become a Gundam pilot!" Yua could only blink and stare at him confused. Her head was spinning. This wasn't true right? As far as she knew, she didn't have any family left. What was going on here? Heero Yuy her brother? That's just crazy!
She didn't notice her breathing speed up as her heart rate rose through the roof. "Don't lie.", she whispered, barely audible. "What?", he asked as he didn't hear it. "Don't lie! You expect me to belief this bullshit?! Go to hell!" "Watch your mouth young lady. You can drop the clueless act." "Screw you! You know damn well that I don't know shit about anything before you took me. You made sure of that. So stop playing mind games with me! I'm not amused!", she yells, leaning forward as much as she can to intimidate the man.
He just smirks. "Hm, maybe you do not remember, but that doesn't matter. I am holding the ace here. Do you think your brother will do my bidding when his sister's life is in danger?" Yua grits her teeth. "Even if what you say is true, who says he knows about it, or believes that crap? And whatever the case, I'm pretty sure that you won't be able to make him do anything for the likes of you! His mission comes first." "Heh, we'll see." He stands up, opening the door. "Take her to a separate cell. She's not to have contact with them anymore."
She stares at the door opening he left through, hardly noticing when she's being pulled up on her feet. Her eyes couldn't get any wider as the shock is still in full effect. "Yua.", calls a voice. She snaps out of it for a moment to find herself in the hallway where cell doors line the walls. Looking back she only sees Trowa there with her. He must have dismissed the other soldiers. He has his hand on her shoulder to lead her in the right way. Just as well as she would have walked into a wall easily.
She trembles a little and blinks a few times as her eyes start to water. She's feeling so lost and confused right now. She doesn't like to be confronted with possibilities that concern her past. It reminds her of the fact that she has no memory of it, something that she would gladly see differently. "Trowa…", she brings out in what sounds like a squeak, her voice lost. He squeezes her shoulder in an attempt to comfort her. He opens a door for her, letting her inside. "I'll try to see if I can verify his accusations." Yua nods silently. "Thank you.", she whispers, not daring to look at him. He nods although she can't see, before stepping out and closing the cell door softly behind him.
Standing there for a moment, he takes the time to replay the happenings in his mind. If Tsuborov was telling the truth, this was going to have great consequences for the both of them. He'll have to try and see if he can find out the truth of this, knowing uncertainties like this hurt Yua. Though somewhere deep, he can feel that it's the truth. He wonders what Heero will have to say to this. Unlike Yua, he doesn't believe that it would leave him uncaring.
