"Chapter 2: Quatre's Secret"
....................
Heero woke up again and sat up, "What time is it?"
The computerized voice came back, "0715 hours. Would you like the lights on?"
"Yes," Heero got up. "I'm going to take a shower; open the door."
After his shower, Heero sat down on the chair in his room and looked around. Finally, he got up, "I think a little fresh air might ease my mind."
The door opened, and Heero walked out to Central Park. He kept on walking until he went in front of the television shop.
'This is Biography. Tomorrow we will be going through the life of the great Winner family, the death of the former head of the family, and the rise of a new, young leader of the prestigious name.'
A picture of Quatre was shown after his father's. Heero stopped to look at the television as it went on:
'Quatre Raberba Winner, a successful young, business man, being the youngest of his siblings, had created a new model of colony that could change the look of space, but the youth's past is a bit shady. Quatre Winner was not with his family for quite a few years of his youth. Where was he? And why was he gone? Tomorrow we will be having a live interview with the young Quatre Winner on the new Colony Z3000, and maybe these questions will be answered... Please stay tuned for today's Biography, the Life of a Former Queen: A Look into Relena Darlian.'
Heero turned and kept walking. His thoughts were cluttered, but he didn't show much confusion in his expression. He just happened to be walking by the movie theatre as Quatre and his older sister were leaving. Heero wasn't watching, but suddenly he heard his name being called. Heero shot his head up towards Quatre's direction, and there he was. Quatre was standing there, waving, yelling Heero's name. Quatre said something and left his sister and ran up to Heero.
Quatre was plenty excited as he spoke, "Heero! You're here! That's great! I've really missed you guys and haven't seen any of the others since we self-detonated our Gundams. I am really happy to see you."
"Hi, Quatre," Heero replied.
"I've been planning on calling all of you guys together again, but I just can't find the time," Quatre explained.
Heero answered, "I see your going to be on TV tomorrow."
"Yeah, I'm going to talk about my father," Quatre replied.
"They want to know why you weren't with your family when you were with Dr. H," Heero said quickly.
"Really? Let's go and talk about this at my place," Quatre started walking back to his mansion, with Heero following him.
When they arrived, Quatre began to explain things, "This is my mansion that my sisters and I are staying at. My office is on the fourth floor, and from this floor up to there is business regions. The rest is just our home. Rasid and the Maganac Corps also are staying here for now, since they don't have to fight anymore. Right now they insist on staying here as my bodyguards, but I don't use them for that at all. They dislike the fact of my doing them a favor." Quatre laughed.
As they walked through the lobby, Rasid greeted them, "Why, hello, Master Quatre. Hello, Heero. I have never had the honor to meet you in person. I truly admire your fighting skills and your combat abilities."
Heero nodded, "Hn."
Quatre smiled, "Glad to see you, Rasid. I'm just giving Heero a little tour. We will be going on now."
"Of course, I will see you later then," Rasid stepped away from the two.
Heero and Quatre went into the elevator, and Heero leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. Quatre just stood in front of the door with a small smile on his face. The door opened and the entered onto the sixth floor. Heero followed Quatre off of the elevator and down a long hallway.
Quatre walked along, "My room is at the end of this hall."
When they got into the room, Heero sat on a chair next to a desk and said, "So, do you know what you're going to say? Do you think that it's okay to let the world in on your little secret?"
"Well," Quatre sat on his bed, "I'm sure that it won't be very good to let everyone know that I was a Gundam pilot, on account of that I'm trying to promote pacifism."
Heero let out a little snicker.
"What's wrong, Heero?" Quatre looked up.
"Nothing," Heero said.
"Okay, but, I don't know what I'm going to say. I guess I can say that the Maganac Corps were protecting me on Earth by the command of my father," Quatre looked back down at the floor.
Heero closed his eyes, "Don't you think that the people might see you as a weakling because of that."
Quatre sighed, "I had no idea that I was going to be asked a question like that."
Quatre took a deep sigh, "I guess I can say that I was away at school on Earth. After all, I did go to that school in the Cinque Kingdom with you."
Heero thought it over, "They won't believe you."
Quatre looked up again, "What?!"
Heero opened his eyes, "Think it over, Quatre... We were the only boys in the whole school."
Quatre laughed, "Oh, yeah! That might not look too good. I guess I could think of something else then. It won't be too hard to think of something, but I wanted to show you something here anyway." He got up and walked to a different door and opened it and said, "Elevator to the basement."
An elevator came up to the opening and opened to the two. They got onto he elevator and it went down to the basement. The elevator stopped with a creaking sound. One of Rasid's men was standing in front of the doors.
"Hey, Master Quatre!" the man yelled.
"Hello," Quatre smiled and walked by.
They came up to an iron door.
"This reminds me of, nevermind," Heero turned his head down.
Quatre spoke loudly, "Access code: 78965409."
The doors opened and Heero looked up, "Huh?"
Quatre laughed, "It's from Wing Zero, well, you probably know that, but I found it in the sea. I didn't want to leave it there... I've been trying to get a hold of you forever, since I found it."
The head of Wing Zero was sitting on a platform with the sword of Zero next to it.
Quatre continued, "The camera and the circuits still work. I guess I made it pretty good, huh?"
Heero stood staring, "Zero is still here? We have to destroy it now, Quatre."
Quatre nodded, "Right. I'm taking it apart right now. We took the bullets from the head's cannons and made them into sheets of metal. It worked out pretty well. Everything is going to be put into use to repair space colonies. We're working as fast as we can to make it seem like it never was a mobile suit."
Heero nodded back and turned to walk away.
Quatre stopped him, "Ya know what? My sister's right. I have been working too hard. How about we go and find the others? What do you say, Heero?"
Heero turned and nodded.
