Chapter 4 Start of the Perfect Solider
In a sterile white room, a lone figure sits at a control board. Wires and monitors appear to be hooked into the figure. As the person turns, we see it's a young boy perhaps around ten. Intense Prussian blue eyes are set in a delicate face that shows strength as well as beauty.
The boy didn't know how long he'd been at the complex. Why he was brought here no longer mattered. To be quite frank, he barely remembered who he was before coming here. The questions to be honest have no importance. The person he was before was dead or at least buried so deep inside himself that he'd never see the light of day. If he were really lucky his old self would stay buried and forgotten.
"Heero" a male voice is heard over the intercom. "Have you finished the simulation yet?"
"Yes" comes the boys curt reply.
"What is your performance assessment?"
"Inadequate"
"Elaborate Heero" asks a voice laden with exasperation.
"Reaction time was down, there were holes missed and a path left open." Came the caustic reply.
There's a soft sigh and a new voice that comes over the intercom.
"OK, Heero lets take a break now then you can come back later." A feminine voice calmly states.
"No"
"What did you say Heero?" the woman asks incredulously.
"Not until it's good enough. Not until it's perfect." Comes the boy's cold reply.
Protests start coming from the intercom. Heero tunes out the protests and turns back to the simulator and begins again.

" J what the hell have you done to Heero?" an angry woman turns to the older man next to her.
"What makes you think I did anything to the boy Une?"
Eyes narrowing with distrust Une replies. "While Heero's always been focused on his tasks. He's never made it an obsession to be perfect as he has this past week."
"Une" J starts to respond, "You may be my colleague and a partner on this project, but I still run this operation. Do not presume to interfere with what I'm doing."
Standing defiantly Une replies. " Half of this project is mine J." her voice increasing with each word. "You can't shut me out. How can you justify treating him as if he's a machine? Don't you care about him? He's just a boy."
In a frosty voice J states. "I am making a perfect soldier Une not only in mind but in body. I don't need to have feelings for him. Likewise, he doesn't need feelings either. Une just see to his special abilities. You're not needed for any thing else."
"Fine!" Une replies in a chillingly cold voice. "If I didn't care for the boy or believe you'd ruin his training I wouldn't help you J." Une turns and stalks out the door not looking back once.
J stares at the retreating figure muttering. "She's going to be a problem."

A few hours later the young boy leaves the simulation room. Walking down the corridors of the complex Heero is lost in thought.
Coming to a sudden stop Heero stares into the most gorgeous violet eyes he's ever seen. Everything comes to a complete stop. Never has he seen such perfection. Staring for what seem like hours but is mere minutes Heero can't take his eyes off the boy in front of him.
"Duo... come on our transport is waiting."
A voice intrudes in the private world surrounding Heero and the unknown boy. As the boy, Duo, turns and leaves, Heero's hand starts to come up involuntarily in protest. Exerting control over himself, Heero lowers his hand just as Duo turns for a last look. Intensifying his gaze, Heero tries to memorize every perfect feature, as the boy turns back around and steps out the door.
Recognition flares thru Heero's mind as he thinks about the boy he has just seen. ~I know him. I've seen him before, but it's also like this is the first time I've seen him. Who is he? Why does he affect me like this? Will I ever see him again? ~ A stab of fear goes through him before it is rejected. ~No, I will see him again even if I have to search for him myself. That means I need to work harder. J will help me be perfect. I will see Duo again. ~
Determination in every move, Heero continues down the corridor. Plans for a new regimen of training goes through his mind. The soon to be perfect soldier has a goal and nothing is going to stop him.

Authors note: Well, we now have Heero in the mix plus some familiar figures in J and Une. This chapter is short, but I don't think any thing more really needed to be said. It's going to be a little longer before the next chapter because I'm not sure whom to introduce next. I'm wavering between Quatre and Wufei *sigh* decisions. Well, I'm done rambling. As always C&C is welcome.
