Reformation
Chapter 2
Heero stepped into the busy airport looking above the crowds in search for Pagan. After a few moments he spotted the elderly man and signaled to Hilde and Duo. As he made his way through the crowd he kept looking back to make sure Hilde could make it through. Finally he reached Pagan with Hilde following right behind.
"Hey Pagan you ol' coot how yah been?"
"Better than you as the looks of it Mr. Maxwell!"
"Was that a joke, good on Pagan!" Pagan smiled at Duo and helped Hilde push the ex-gundam pilot towards the car.
"Uh…Mr. Maxwell this car isn't wheelchair assessable I'm afraid."
"Awe that's alright I can get in no problem." To Heero's amazement Duo lifted himself out of the chair with his arms and Hilde helped him into the car. Duo's arm strength must be at least two times stronger than Heero's now. Heero snapped out of it as Pagan folded up Duo's chair and placed it in the trunk. Heero got up front with Pagan while Duo and Hilde sat in back. Soon they were on the road, heading towards the Peacecraft summer mansion.

Quatre stared out the window feeling the tension in his shoulders forming for the fifth time that day. Heero and Duo were due to arrive any moment and he was tense with anticipation. Trowa and Wufei where in the other room playing chess. Relena was upstairs working on papers for a new colony's entrance into the Earth's Sphere Alliance. A sound of an engine brought Quatre from his thoughts and he looked outside the window to see the limo he had been waiting for.
"Trowa, Wufei, Relena, they've arrived!" He walked out the door and up the car as Heero got out of the passenger seat and opened the door to the seat behind him. There sat Duo smiling at Quatre his hands resting on his thighs.
"Hi Quatre long time no see!" Quatre was about to speak when he saw Pagan unfold a wheel chair near Duo's door. He stared at it puzzled, which soon changed to shock as he saw Heero help Duo into it. Duo grunt slightly as he tried to get situated in his chair.
"Duo…I…Wha…How?"
"You know Heero asked that exact same thing just yesterday." Quatre just stared puzzled but then looked at the young women who took a position behind Duo. She placed a hand on his shoulder and he reached for it affectionately. "Oh Quatre I won't you to meet Hilde!" Quatre stared at the young woman and recognized her from Peacemillion, the girl that had gotten them the data on Libra.
"Charmed," answered Quatre while bowing slightly still looking at Duo's state.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD, MAXWELL!!!" Quatre flinched as he heard the tone of anger in the Chinese boy's voice. He turned to see a red faced Wufei and a stoic Trowa coming out of the house. "Maxwell what the HELL did you do now!!!" Duo's face flickered an emotion Quatre could have sworn was anger.
"Well Wuffie if you must know I purposely damaged my spine just to PISS YOU OFF!" Hilde rubbed his shoulders to try and calm him. Duo patted her hand in signal that he was fine. Wufei just stared at him not knowing what to say. They all turned as they heard the front door close to see Relena staring at some papers in her hands.
"Oh Heero I'm so glad your back, and welcome Duo-oh my God!" She dropped the papers and gawked at Duo. Duo hung his head and sighed, he lifted his hand and gave a little wave his head still hung in exasperation.
"Hi, Lena how are you, oh that's nice, me I'm fine just a little paralyzed!" Hilde smacked him on the back of the neck.
"Baka!"
"Ouch alright how many times is that since we've left home, 50, I think this treatment is so unjust, what do you think Wufei?" He didn't get an answer Wufei was still busy looking at the chair as where all the other persons besides Pagan and Hilde. Duo looked at all of them felling slightly annoyed. "Will you all please stop staring at the chair and TALK!" Quatre was the first to break from his staring trance and speak.
"Well um it's a bit chilly out why don't we all go inside."
"Good idea it is a bit cold my legs have gone numb…OUCH GOD DAMMIT HILDE, 51, THAT'S 51 ONE TIMES." That display caused the group to smile slightly, Even Heero, Wufei, and Trowa had a slight smirk across their lips. They all headed into the house trying to brush of the awkward situation.
~~*~~*~~*~~
"It's so nice to see you all, sorry about the condition I was in last time, I didn't plan on meeting you while in a coma." Hilde smiled and sipped on her cup of tea.
"Oh Miss Hilde there's no need to apologize, you helped us immensely with that data you recovered," replied Quatre while refilling her cup.
"Well Hilde how about I show you were you'll be staying, and Duo I'll show you your room a little later," said Relena as she set her tea down.
"Um…actual Miss Relena me and Duo share a bed together," she said rubbing the back of her neck. Relena turned a slight red color and stuttered for a moment.
"Oh of course I'm sorry, Hilde I'll show you to yours and Duo's room." Hilde smiled and followed Relena out of the room leaving the ex-pilots on their own. Duo finished his tea and set his cup on the table. Quatre looked at Duo smiled then frowned.
"Well Duo it's nice to see you again but we still have to find a fifth pilot."
SVX: Who will they have to be there 5th pilot? I would love to hear who you think it's going to be…hee, hee, hee. Well R&R I'll have the next chapter out and then we will know who the next Gundam pilot will be!!!!
