~Twins~

The leader of the gang of men who had entered the hospital noted Heero standing in front of the swinging doors of the operation room. He outstretched a hand and then waved his arm forward once, indicating that he was their man.

Heero sighed heavily and raked a hand through his hair as he slowly tore his eyes from Relena's blood smeared face to end up being face to face with someone's fist. He stumbled back a few feet and ended up landing up against a wall. The man was on him in an instant, strong, bulky arms encircling his waist, causing him to slide to the ground as the top of a head connected with his stomach.

He grunted loudly and opened his eyes to blink away the spots of colours that danced before them. Heero curled his hand into a tight fist and then brought it out, swinging it to the side to connect with the right cheek of the guy who had attacked him. The sound of breaking bone was heard and then followed closely by a grunt of pain as the heavy weight of his attacker was lifted.

A few doctors came forward, thinking they could stop the fighting between Heero and the one man, but they were mistaken as the rest of the men standing on the side, watching the fight go on, pulled out Assault Rifles and pulled the triggers, implanting bullets to their heads and chests. At the sound of the shots, Heero froze and watched as nine doctors and nurses toppled to the ground dead.

The man that Heero punched just now, came charging at him again, completely ignoring the pain in his right cheek as blood trickled from his mouth. He swung a fist at Heero and Heero just caught it in a hand and then squeezed hard, causing the the man to wince and then lash out at him with his other fist.

Heero hadn't expected that one to come flying at him and it hit him hard in the side of the head. He toppled to the ground, all Assault Rifles trained on him carefully as he tried to pick himself off the ground, but the man who had landed the punch grabbed his shoulder and flipped him onto his back. He straddled Heero and then delivered punch after punch to his face and head.

" You think you're tough now, huh, punk?! Killing off my buds with a fucking grenade! I'll show you a good killing, you bastard! " he shouted as he brought his fist crashing down onto Heero's nose, expecting to hear the cartilage shatter, instead nothing.

The man then jumped off Heero to join his buddies, rubbing his shattered cheek. The other uninjured man stepped over the dead corpses of the doctors and nurses to walk over to Heero who sat up from the ground, resting his himself on a propped elbow, gently touching his nose that was going to be bruised.

All the men cocked back the hammers on their Assault Rifles and aimed them for Heero's heart and head. Heero brought his eyes up to the leaders and he sneered, his once pearl white teeth covered in blood and saliva.

" Do it... you know you all want to get rid of me. But hear me out now! You will not get your hands on the Queen of the World... " he growled as he watched them all their fingers pull the triggers....

" We're losing her doctor! " a nurse shouted as she flew around the table to grab a large needle and inject it with some thick liquid.

Doctor Mike Wolfgang glanced up from the open hole he had had created in Relena's stomach to stitch up her organs, to stop the internal bleeding. He brought his eyes back down and then the loud monoton beep went out, echoing throughout the room.

One nurse thrusted a needle into Relena's left hand and then attached it to a sack of blood that hung from a pole. Mike licked his lips as he tried his best to stitch her up quickly. Something was shoved in the way and he nodded. Nurse Joy (sound familiar... ^~ Pokémon!) grabbed a crash cart and brought it to the side of the bed.

Grabbing the two paddles, she rubbed them together after being lubricated and then pressed them to Relena's chest, the doctors and nurses standing back as nurse Joy gave a nod of her head.

" Clear! " she shouted as they paddles sent waves of electricity into Relena's heart, trying to pump it again.

" Again... two-fifty this time! " Joy said as she took them off, rubbed them together and then placed them back onto Relena's chest. " Clear! "

Relena's body jerked up off the operating table and a faint beep-beep of the monitor filled the room. Nurse Joy shoved the crash cart back as she grabbed a pumper and placed it over Relena's mouth, pumping the large plastic sack of oxygen attached at the end. Mike gave a breath of relief as he began to finish stitching up the Colon, trying to ignore the shouts and gunshots coming from the other side of the door.

" Blood pressure dropping... "

" Stabilizing! "

All around, people shouted out commands and numbers, shouting out pressure drops, everything. Mike blinked and then make his last incision on her liver after working on the colon. After this it was done. Relena Peacecraft would be as good as new except for the scar riding down her stomach.

Joy glanced at Mike and flashed him a smile, telling him that he was doing fine, telling him that she was going to live and that he wouldn't have a pissed beyond belief brother on his ass. Mike returned the smile with a nod and cut the thread. He then began to piece her stomach back together, trying his best to keep the stitching small and precise so that it wouldn't leave that big of a mark on her body.

A few minutes later, they were covering Relena's wounds in dressings, applied a cast to her right arm. Mike let out a long breath of relief as he stepped back from Relena's body, allowing the nurses to take care of her now as he stripped himself of his bloody gloves...

Shots rang out, nurses screamed, doctors cried out in protest for them to stop. Heero closed his eyes as he waited for the pain of the bullets that would enter him everywhere to come. Nothing came, nothing hit him, nothing entered him, hurt him. His prussian blue eyes snapped open and he found Duo Maxwell crouched in front of him, his cobalt blue eyes taking in his appearance, including the bruises on his ribs that were beginning to show from the top of his green tank top.

" Are you alright, Heero? " Duo asked, his eyes lifting from Heero's chest to meet his eyes.

Heero snorted and then slowly got off the ground, " I'll live... " he replied in a cold tone.

" Yeah... no thanks needed, buddy! " Duo muttered, scratching the back of his neck.

Trowa stepped forward, his hands holding a blood soaked blanket tightly, " Here... this belongs to Relena... " he said, handing Heero the blanket.

Heero reached for it, taking it in a hand and then walking over to a garbage bin, dropped it inside and walked back, nodding his head towards the doors.

" Relena's in there... " he informed them, walking over to one of the plastic orange chairs that lined the walls.

Duo, Quatre and Wufei all looked at him in question while Trowa watched through the window in the door as some nurses cleaned the blood from Relena's face. Quatre walked over to sit beside him.

" How is she? " he asked lightly.

Heero shrugged and ran a hand over his face, " I'm not sure... I brought her in about an hour ago... somewhere around there. Since then... I was fighting those assholes, until they got me on the ground... "

" And then until we saved your ass! " Duo pointed out, plopping down into one of the chairs beside him.

Heero snorted and remained silent. Wufei sighed heavily and went to side down beside Duo. Trowa left the door to sit beside Quatre, his head resting against the wall, his eyes slowly closing as he massaged his temples slowly. Quatre glanced over at him and frowned lightly.

" Is something wrong, Trowa? "

Trowa opened an eye and glanced at the Arabian. He shook his head slowly, " No... just thinking of the hell that Relena's going through at the moment... that's all... "

" There's something else... isn't there? " Quatre asked, being persistent.

" Yeah... like why isn't us who are going through this hell? " Duo piped in from the right.

Heero sat back in his chair as well and rolled his eyes, " We are going through the same hell! " he snapped, bringing his hand to his face, turning it around so that his palm was facing him, the tattoo resembling that of a dirty smudge mark that he wanted to get rid off.

" Is that so, Heero? " Duo asked, shooting him a questioning look.

Heero turned his hand around, showing him the mark, " This is why she and we as well are going through hell, Maxwell... "

Duo blinked and then frowned deeply, staring at the mark, " How can you be so sure, Heero? We don't even know what it means... "

" I know what it means... if you want, I could tell you... " a soft voice spoke out from the doorway in front of them...

" As usual! You fail to bring me the boy! " Daniel bellowed to the two men dressed in black that stood in front of his desk.

" We're sorry, sir... but we weren't expecting his backup to arrive... "

Daniel Benton snorted in disgust, " Backup?! We at the Benton Foundation provide you fools with enough backup to last you years! And here you are, at my desk, in front of me, complaining about a bunch of little boys being backup to Heero Yuy?! Pathetic... "

" Sir! We weren't expecting such an attack from them. First and second times! We underestimated their skills, their knowledge. Next time, we will get him for you... we can gurantee you that you will have Heero Yuy... " one of them promised.

Daniel snorted again, " You promise me?! That's exactly what you promised me last time you were in here trying to cover up your fucking asses! " he screamed at them, jumping up from his chair.

" Again, sir... we're sorry! "

" Sorry isn't going to cut it this time, Jamerson! You get your ass back out there with as much of my men as you need and you bring me back Heero Yuy! Do I make myself clear!? "

Both men nodded and saluted him. Daniel let out a loud frustrated sigh, snort before throwing himself down into his chair. Both men watched him curiously and then with the flick of a tense wrist, Daniel dismissed them. Turning the chair around so that he was facing the large window, Daniel grabbed the bridge of his nose to try and push away the migrain that was beginning to build up quickly.

" Arilyn... Arilyn, Arilyn! " he shouted. " If you hadn't disappeared that night, taking my son away from me, none of this would be happening! None of this would be nescessary! But... you always had to have your way with our children didn't you? "

The door to his office behind him slid open and soft, light footsteps sounded from behind, causing Daniel to whirl around in his chair to find himself staring at a woman the age of eighteen, her dark chocolate brown hair pulled back in a tight bun at the back of her head, two wooden chopsticks sticking out from the top and bottom, her thick bangs laying curled on her forehead nicely, swaying to the side from the airconditioning.

" Well... hello! " Daniel said smiling lightly at her, leaning towards her, his hands clasped together in front of him.

Crystal Elizabeth Benton smiled sweetly and held her hands clasped in front of her, " Good evening.... I suspect everything is going well for you father? " she asked innocently as she pulled out a small 9mm gun from the back of her dress, just holding it lazily in her right hand, pointed at the ground.

Daniel's lips parted in a large grin and he tilted his head to the side, watching his daughter, " Good evening, darling daughter! What brings you here to my office of all times of the night? "

Crystal smiled again, her prussian blue eyes so much like her brothers twinkling as she chuckled and scratched her neck with the cool tip of her gun.

" I was bored just sitting around in the livingroom, so I decided to pay you a visit! "

" How cute! How have you been doing? "

Crystal shrugged and sneered, " I want him, father! I want him to pay... to die!! " she suddenly snapped, the innocent look gone.

Daniel nodded, " I know, Crissie... I know! You're not alone in this matter... not at all.. "

" When can I have my shot at him, daddy? " Crystal whined.

Daniel smiled, " Soon, darling. Soon... just wait till we catch your twin brother... "

Crystal smirked evily, resembling her brother in a way, with her own prussian blue eyes slightly narrowed, her lips pulled back in a sneer, " I have just the plan, daddy! " she told him, catching him offguard.

" Really? "

Crystal nodded, " I know how to get to Heero Yuy so you and I can get him back... "

" Well then... come over here and explain to your dad what you had in mind... "

" Well... it concerns his roommate, daddy. His roommate that goes by the name of Duo Maxwell... " she began as she slowly walked up to Daniel's desk, evil gleam in her hard cold eyes, the gun being twirled around on a finger....
