"Ugh... Wha? Duo...?" Megami said, sitting up in a stark white bed. She looked around, she was back on Peace Million and Duo was sound asleep with his head next to her lap. Megami smiled, He looks so angelic... it's hard to believe that he's 'Death'.> Without realizing that she'd moved Megami found herself stroking his hair. In a few minutes he woke up. Megami pulled her hand back quickly.
"...Megami...? Megami! Did we get the plans? What happened? Why is the back of your uniform ripped? Are we prisoners?"
Megami smiled at the slight idiot, "One question at a time. We are not prisoners, we got the plans, and you were knocked out and I had to carry you until we were in Deathscythe."
"So how did your uniform get those rips in it? And where did that golden feather come from?"
"I..." Megami avoided Duo's eyes, "...I don't know how I got the rips, or the feathers..." Megami turned suddenly. She could see Heero's silhouette, watching. Watching her again.
After Wufei had taken the handcuffs off and dinner was served Heero
had called a Gundam pilot's meeting. He had not invited Megami.
"...I ran some tests on Megami's blood, she isn't human. Or, she isn't
completely human."
"What do you expect us to do about that, Yuy?"
"I'm not sure. But I don't think we should trust her too much. So all
of you need to be wary of her for now, until I find out more about her."
"Heero, why don't you trust her?" Quatre asked.
"I have a feeling, that's all. I can't explain it, I just don't trust
her. Duo, this is especially for you."
"What're you saying, Heero? I should act like I don't trust her and
just... act like you?"
"No, I'm saying you should keep your mouth shut more often. You have
a habit of talking too much."
"Why can't you trust ANYBODY?!" Duo shouted.
"Trusting someone too much leads to complications and problems. Problems
lead to obstructions and obstructions must be eliminated. It's very simple."
"I think the problem is you don't trust yourself."
Everyone turned. Megami was framed in the door, "If you can't trust
yourself you can't trust others. And if you can't trust you can't have
friends. I think you'll be very alone in life, Heero Yuy."
Heero whipped out his gun but didn't point it directly at Megami. "How
long were you there?"
"Long enough to know you aren't planning to trust me. So I'll have
to leave in a while. That way you five don't get divided." She turned on
her heel and walked off. Duo leapt up and ran out after her before Heero
could stop him. He rounded the first corner and found that she was gone.
A golden feather fell to the ground in front of him.
Heero and the others emerged from the meeting room, Heero picked up
the feather and studied it. I think I know what's going on. All I have
to do now is check security...> Silently Heero walked to the lab.
...> Megami sat in her room looking out the window at Earth. She sighed. "I don't have anywhere to go... L5's gone, I've been to L1 through L4 already. I can't go back to OZ so I guess I'll have to go back to Earth. But..." Megami felt hot tears trickle down the sides of her face. "What the? Why am I crying? There's never been anything holding me back before... what is the matter with me?!" Once again she felt her body urging her to transform. This time she didn't hold back. She lay on the floor of her room crying. Her now ice-blue wings askew, limply covering her shaking body. If someone had looked in they would have seen an angel lying in a strip of moonlight.

"Got it." Heero said, smiling thinly, as he downloaded the video file
of the sick bay when Quatre was unconscious. What he saw shocked him. Megami
had transformed and poured golden fire all over her leg and torso. And
then fallen asleep. Heero fast forwarded the tape about an hour and saw
her get up slowly then walk out.
Heero sat there for a few minutes pondering what he saw on the tape.
So Megami isn't human.> An idea came to Heero, I think I need to
check her bio...> He set to work immediately.
After an hour of uncontrollable crying Megami had decided to leave before
dawn. Praying with all her heart that she wouldn't run into Duo. I
couldn't leave if I did,> she thought If I tell him why I'm leaving
he'd stop me. And he wouldn't have to do anything but look at me.>
