Standard disclaimers: you all know them.
Hatikva Ch.15
Outside Heero's mind, in the hospital room, Mariemaia felt that
something had changed in the general atmosphere, and woke up.
She lifted herself from where she had fallen asleep on Heero's chest
to look at his face, and smiled when she saw the tears in his eyes.
Hatikva was somehow getting through the boy's thickheadedness.

In the Preventers' main Mobile Suit hangar, the five scientists were
running diagnostic tests on the white and blue, angel-winged Gundam,
under Lady Une's watchful eye.
"So, Quatre says Wing ZERO activated itself," Dr. J stated, "Twenty-
four hours ago."
"And has remained on standby ever since." Instructor H said. "You've
told us yourself that after the Eve Wars, the ZERO System only allowed
Heero Yuy to pilot it." He added, feeling that Quatre was being
accused of something.
"The ZERO System has reponded to both Quatre and Mariemaia when
Heero is concerned." Dr. J reminded his co-workers. He turned to H and
grinned. "I'm not accusing Quatre of anything. I know Heero can access
the System even when they're on different colonies." He turned back to
the monitor he was watching and pressed some buttons, "This could be
one of those cases. No matter how much I study it, the relationship
between Heero and the System is beyond my understanding... now what's
this?" He zoomed in on one of the charts.
"Are those the System's signal waves?" Master O asked, easily
looking over J's shoulder. "They look like human brain wave patterns."
"They're originating from the System's core." J said turning to look
at the Wing ZERO. "Interesting... could it's contact with Heero be
turning it more like a human brain and less like a computer?"
"It may be unscientific," Proffesor G shoved his hands in his lab
coat's pockets and also looked at the Gundam, "It seems to me as if the
Wing Gundam ZERO is housing a human soul."
The other four nodded, accepting G's theory.
"Could it be Heero Yuy's?" Dr. S asked. "After all, no one has been
able to get him to respond."
"It's not Heero." J answered, taking a look at the monitor. "These
do not resemble his brainwave patterns."
"Then whose soul is housed in the ZERO System's core?" Lady Une
asked. She couldn't get out of her head what Mariemaia had said about
Wing using the System to go to Heero.
"I think I have an idea," J grinned, "Though my guess is as good
as anyone's."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
After half an hour Heero calmed down enough to speak.
"How are they?" He asked softly, refusing to leave the winged girl's
warm embrace.
"Relena and the pilots were released three or four days later."
Hatikva answered stroking the boy's back. "Relena visits you for an
hour or two every day. The guys take turns to come. And the only times
Mariemaia leaves your side is to go to the bathroom."
"Why?" Heero looked up into her Gundam green eyes. In their
reflection he could see that his own were red from all his crying
"Why do they keep coming back?"
"Because they care about you. Relena and Mariemaia are particularly
worried about you." Hatikva said with a slight smile. "You know
neither of them would stand loosing you."
"I understand them. They need me as much as I need them..." He
looked down "At least that's what I want to believe, I probably need
them more... but I want to protect Relena and I'm afraid Mariemaia will
become like me if I leave her alone." He ruffled Mary's fur and looked
at Hatikva. "But I don't understand why they care about me, if I
always end up hurting them... I don't want to hurt anyone... I don't
want to suffer anymore..."
"Suffering is part of being human." Hatikva said, "Even in times of
peace, children suffer the death of a pet, people suffer the loss of
a loved one through illness or accident. There's no way to prevent
that."
"I know that..." Heero whispered, "But why do people have to get
hurt because of me."
"All I know is that people get hurt for different reasons and you
believe it's your fault, even when it's not." Hatikva answered,
"You'll have to unlearn some of the things that were drilled into
you. You'll have to learn to control your emotions. Otherwise, when
your friends get hurt, you won't be able to do anything." She released
the boy, stood and offered him her hand. "Are you ready to go back?"
Heero stayed where he was, looking at the grass. After a while he
spoke. "Will you help me?" He looked up. "Will you teach me?"
"We have a couple of things to do first," Hatikva smiled, "Then
we'll give Mary a new home."
Heero smiled and took her hand. The moment he did, he was enveloped
by a blinding silver light, then darkness.

Once again, I have not much to say, except that sorry if it's a bit
confusing, and that I think the five scientists are like roaches: no
matter how much you try to get rid of them, they always come back.
That's why they're alive in this fic.
