Standard disclaimers: you all know them.
Hatikva Chapter 1
"Wing!?" Heero turned to her, surprised.
"Yes," Hatikva nodded. She handed him Mary's leash and stepped back.
She was coccooned by a brilliant light that materialized into a pair
of silver wings. When she opened them, she looked older, about Heero's
age. Her armor-like clothing had the same patterns and colors as the
Wing ZERO, and she didn't have one pair of wings but two, just like the
Gundam,
"You're not real." Heero whispered.
"I am real," Hatikva/Wing replied, kneeling once again next to the
boy and taking his hand. "The Gundam is my physical body now, and this
is the physical manifestation of my soul." She smiled gently.
Heero shook his head in confusion. He was not dead, that was for
sure. His body was probably lying in a coma in the L1 Preventers
Hospital, with his mind trapped in a halucination caused by his desire
to see her alive and atone for his sins.
"How can you be real?" He asked softly. He wanted to know the truth,
but he was afraid that if he did, she would dissapear from his life
forever.
Hatikva/Wing lay down on the grass with her hands under her head.
Her large wings didn't seem to bother her a bit.
"Don't ask me how it happened," She started, "I was in my room when
the explosion started. I realized that you had been the cause and
wondered if you were going to be alright." She turned to look at him.
"Then there was this crashing noise. Next thing I knew, I woke up to
looking down at Quatre taking care of you in that mobile suit
airlock."
"I remember that Wing's eyes lit up when I looked up at it." Heero
said. "Now that you mention it, Quatre once told me that there was
something that made Wing ZERO different from the other Gundams. And he
wasn't talking about the ZERO system, since he also felt the same way
about Altron." He turned to look at her, "Does it mean Altron's like
you?"
"Meiran's a great person once you get to know her. Her sense of
justice is more flexible than Wufei's." Hatikva/Wing continued her
explanation. "She was reborn in Shenlong and Altron simply because she
refuses to leave her husband's side. I was reborn as Wing ZERO because
I wanted to see you again, to protect you."
"That's all nice," Heero said, "But you still haven't explained how
you know about my implanted orders."
"Didn't Quatre tell you?" Hatikva/Wing asked. One glance at Heero's
blank look on his face told har that Quatre hadn't said anything. "You
and I are bonded, unlike Wufei and Meiran. And the cause of that is the
ZERO system. It happened when Nichols forced you to pilot the simulator.
I remember you became confused by what Quatre had told you the evening
before. The ZERO system took hold of you in that confusion, but it
also allowed me to bond with you. It was because of the bonding shock
that you were able to see what you were doing. The nausea you felt and
the yellow glow Quatre saw were only side effects."
"So if I hadn't been shocked out of it, I would have stopped only
after I realized I had killed Quatre?"
"Right." Hatikva/Wing answered, "But there's more. If something
happens to you, I feel it. And it goes both ways. So when you were in
the hospital after the Mariemaia incident, your body started to heal
only when the Preventers started my repairs under Sally's and Quatre's
orders."
"If you are destroyed, I'll die." Heero realized, "And if I die
you'll cease to function." He lay down on the grass and looked at the
clouds. "I like it here. So peaceful. And so different from the life I
had"
"I created this place in your mind using the ZERO system and your
memories."
"Why?"
"I wanted to talk with you."
"Why?"
"Because I want you to come back with me."
