Yua opens her tired eyes at the sound of the hatch on the cell door sliding open. She doesn't see anyone, but is alerted by Trowa's voice. "I had a good look in the medical records and ran a test of my own with the DNA material they had.", he says making Yua sit up straight, paying full attention. "It seems like it's true.", he states.

Yua sighs. "I see." Swallowing hard she asks, "Have they told him yet?" "No." It's silent for a moment. "What would you like me to tell him?", he asks. Yua thinks it over for a moment. She comes to the conclusion that he should better hear it from Trowa. "Tell him whatever you see appropriate." "Will you be alright?", he asks after a moment. "I need some time." Of course. She didn't know she had family, and then she hears Heero is her brother. Of all people! She hardly knows the guy, and it will be hard to just accept this information. She doesn't feel it yet. "I understand.", Trowa replies before taking his leave.

Two days later, Trowa came back. He opened the door, stepping inside before handing Yua some food. "How are you holding up?" She shrugs. "I'm getting there, though I do hope this imprisonment can be ended soon. I'm bored out of my mind." He nods in understanding. Yua looks at him questioningly for a moment and he realizes what the question is that she wants to ask. "I haven't come around to telling him yet. Hopefully it will be today, but it will have to wait until after the fight." "Fight?", Yua wonders. "There is an unknown Gundam threatening the colonies. Lady Une is going to send Heero and I out to fight it. But hopefully it won't come to a fight, that is, if the pilot is who I think it is.", Trowa explains. "Do you think it's one of your fellow pilots?", she questions. "That is what I'm kind of counting on.", he answers.

Thinking it over for a moment she can't help but question, "But you said this pilot is threatening the colonies. Don't you find that odd?" "You are right, but I don't believe Quatre will actually follow through with the threat.", he says with confidence. "Don't be too sure of that Trowa. I have a bad feeling about this.", she warns him. "Just be careful alright?", she asks. "Of course.", he nods. He puts his hand on top of her head. "I'll see you soon. Try not to bring attention to yourself, you're bruises have finally cleared up.", he says. "Heh, I think that's the least of my worries.", Yua scoffs. He smiles a little though, "I'm sure things will get better soon. Just be patient." She nods and watches him walk out the door. "Please be careful Trowa.", she whispers to herself.

A few hours later Yua was taken from her cell and brought to a normal looking room, but tied up none the less. "What am I doing here?", she asks the soldier closest to her. "Chief engineer Tsuborov wants you here for the time being. He has something to do." "And that would be what?", Yua pushes. "Classified." Yua snorts at this. "Here, watch some TV or something.", he says turning the set on before leaving the room.

Looking around, Yua can't help but think her being here, is incredibly odd. Figuring she can only wait it out, she stares at the news, bored. After seeing rerun on rerun she's about to yell for someone, begging them to change the damn channel, when a report comes through. "The unknown mobile suit has whiped out the colony. Luckily there were no civilians killed as the colony was already evacuated.", the news anchor said. "What the hell?", Yua gapes in surprise.

She grows anxious by this piece of news. She warned Trowa, but she's not sure that he will listen. He seemed pretty confident before, but now that a colony was actually destroyed, it confirms her worries. Something is really off about this pilot, who Trowa believes to be his friend Quatre. Yua tries to wiggle out of her bonds, but doesn't have any success, only new rub marks. She huffs frustrated. She wants to know more.

Looking around she spots a computer a few feet away. Bracing herself, she hops with chair and all over to it, pausing to hear if anyone was coming with all the noise she was making. To her surprise, nothing happens, so she presses on. Next to the computer she finds a pen. Picking it up in her mouth she presses the on button with it. This will probably take a while, but it's all she has. After forever it seems, she finally made her way into the OZ network. Giving a mental cheer, she sets out in search for the information she wants. Soon she gets to the data of the battle that's already going on, which OZ is following closely. She never expected that things would go so wrong though.

/With Trowa/

As his suit was seconds from exploding, Trowa couldn't feel angry with Quatre for what he did. Besides, knowing him, he would blame himself enough already. He just hoped that he would return to his old self again though. Having told Quatre that, he addressed himself to Heero. "Heero, there is something I promised Yua to tell you.", he says catching the other boys' attention. "She's your sister Heero.", he says, dropping the bomb. "What?", Heero replies breathlessly. "It's probably not necessary to ask, but please take care of her. Tell her I'm sorry.", is what he says before the Vayeate explodes in a bright light, leaving only static on the communication line.

/With Yua/

The pen drops from her mouth as her lips start to quiver. Her stomach churning in a way that is making her feel like throwing up. Her head spinning. If she wasn't already sitting down, she would have surely fallen over. Staring at the screen, she doesn't see the fight between Heero and the other pilot anymore. All her eyes can focus on, are the remains of the Vayeate, the suit Trowa was piloting. He was destroyed, whiped out, killed. Her breath hitches. Killed. He's dead. Trowa's dead.

Yua feels drained all of a sudden, her vision going blurry and soon her cheeks are wet. Letting her head fall, she sobs. Her body is shaking from the emotion coursing through her. Taking a deep breath, she screams out, letting the pain she's feeling consume her. Her scream seems to echo throughout the whole base. Falling silent, her throat raw, she sits there motionless, as still as a doll. The only thing moving are her tears that continue to fall.

It is not to long before the door opens. "Hey wasn't that the girl who came with those Gundam pilots?", questions one. "It is. Let's take her with us before those Romefeller traitors get their hands on her.", says another. Cutting loose her binds, she is thrown over the shoulder of the one who did. "Let's go. I'll cover you." "Right."

Later, Yua slowly opens her eyes, hearing many people around. Letting her head fall to the right she sees several OZ soldiers and some old guys in lab coats. "What?", she whispers confused. "You're awake.", she hears from her other side. Looking back she sees a soldier there. "Don't worry. We are on the same side for now. OZ split up into two factions. One supporting Romefeller and the other, concerning us, support Treize. We call ourselves the Treize faction.", he explains, bringing her up-to-date. "I see.", she says, still a bit confused. What the hell went on while she was out of it? Sitting up she looks around. "Where are we?", she asks after a moment. "Hiding out within the Lunar base. We bide our time until the right moment."

Getting to her feet she feels a bit wobbly. Her head feels heavy and her mind clouded. Wiping at her face she finds the salty remains of dried tears. When the memory of why they are there hits her, they are almost replaced by new ones. Taking a deep breath and blinking a few times helps her get her wits about. At least for now.

One of the old men looks up at her, noticing she's awake. "Ah, you're up.", he says making the others look up as well. Looking them over, she realizes something. "I think it's safe to assume that you're the scientists who created the Gundams?" They nod in reply. "That is correct.", says the one with the glasses and mechanical arm. "We heard that you were brought here with Heero and Wufei. Do you know them?", he asks. "Somewhat. I knew Trowa and I met them through him.", she tells him. "I see.", says the one with the long nose. "How did you meet Trowa?" "By chance really." She swallows hard before scraping her throat. "I think I'll get myself a drink.", she mutters before walking off. She just made an excuse to leave the conversation. She didn't want to talk about Trowa.

Getting some water, she finds a corner of her own, distancing herself from the people around. She doesn't want them to see her in such a state. Staring at the ground causes Heero and an unfamiliar face to come in without her noticing. Seeing Heero looking around, Quatre asks; "What are you looking for Heero?" Heero seems to spot whatever he was looking for. "There she is." Looking over, Quatre finds a miserable looking brunette in the corner. "Is that your sister?" Heero doesn't answer him, not sure what to say. Instead, he walks off towards the petit female while Quatre gets hauled off before he can say or do anything.

His feet stop in front of her, making her look up at the intruder of her personal space. Her eyes reflecting her soul, tell him that she's broken. "I thought I told you before, that wearing your heart on your sleeve gets you hurt.", Heero says in his usual voice. Yua only blinks before looking down, not saying a word. Heero takes a seat next to her. "Trowa told me.", he says after a short moment. "Is it true?", he asks. Yua nods slowly. "It was Tsuborov who pointed out the fact. He found out for some reason after he got his hands on your DNA. Trowa confirmed it later on.", Yua replies softly.

"So you didn't know before that?", he asks. She shakes her head. "I thought it was just me, but of course, I couldn't be sure. After all, I don't have all my memories." She looks over at him. "I don't remember a thing about you.", she states. He nods. "I myself have little memory of that time. I knew I had a sister once, but I was sure she was dead. But here you are.", he says, a hint of wonder in his voice. "I had a few days to get used to the thought of having a brother. The more I thought about it, the less I minded. I know it's maybe only been hours, but what do you think? How do we go from here?", Yua asks. She has no idea what to expect from Heero on this. Will he accept her?

He closes his eyes for a moment. "I told myself once, if I would somehow meet my sister again, I wouldn't let her slip away again. I'm open for this if you are, but since we hardly know each other, let's just take it slow and follow our feelings. No need to dive into it at this time." She nods. "I agree."

They sit in silence for a moment before Heero breaks it. "Are you disappointed?", he asks. "About what?", she asks curiously. "Having me as your brother?", he says surprising her. "After all, I'm not the best brotherly figure there is.", he continues. Yua smiles the lightest of smiles, shaking her head. "Don't be crazy. I always wished for family and I'm glad it came true. I think I even got lucky that it turned out to be you as my brother as I was already looking up to you. I think you'll do fine as a brother Heero.", she says consoling him. "We are kind of an odd pair, aren't we?", he questions making Yua smile. "We are."

Getting serious, Heero looks back at his sister. Damn, it will take time to get used to that. Anyway… "Trowa asked me to tell you that he's sorry." Yua stares ahead of her for a moment before nodding resolutely with a sorrow filled smile. "That's fine." "It's okay to feel sorrow Yua, just don't forget to live. Trowa would want you to remember that."
