Disclaimer: Hey everybody! Being the moronic idiot that I am, I realized that I didn't put a disclaimer in episode 1. So *takes a deep breath* I don't own gundam wing or any of it's characters. That's pretty obvious, though. I mean, if I owned gundam, I wouldn't be writing fanfiction. These would be actual episodes. Oh! I also don't own Katrina and Kai either. I stol- er, borrowed their names from two really cool stories. But the other kids are all mine. I have possession over Gwen and Helen! They're my babies!…in an author/ creation way…*coughs*...right…Let's go to episode two…

Episode 2: War and Peace

All the gundam pilots and their children were gathered in a small Preventer's hospital meeting room. They all sat at a large round table, except the kids who were huddled in a corner.

Heero, Trowa, and Wufei hadn't got shot. They looked at Duo's bandaged shoulder and Quatre's arm and shuddered.

Kai was bugging his father. "Hey, pop! What's wrong? What happened"

Wufei glared at his son. "Go away, Kai. We, the adults, will discuss this."

Kai made a face. "But I'm almost eighteen! I can take it!"
Wufei looked down. "You will be eighteen in almost a year. You're not old enough, or have the maturity, to understand and take this. Now, go sit down!"

Kai went to a corner and pouted.

Wufei put his head down on the table.

Heero sighed. "This has been one long, tiring night. I motion we all go to bed and discuss this in he morning. All who agree?"

"I," Said all the gundam pilots.

"All who oppose?"

"Nay," Kai said from his corner.

Wufei glared at him.

Kai looked away.

Heero stood up. "Goodnight, then." He fell right where he was standing and fell asleep.

Duo looked at him. "Bastard. He did that on purpose, so that he wouldn't have to help put the kids in bed."

Quatre sighed. "It's okay. C'mon."

He looked at the group of kids. "Tommy, Robbi, Katrina. Let's go."

Katrina and her brothers stood up and went to their father.

Quatre led his children out the door to a room made for them.

Wufei looked at Kai. "C'mon, boy. Get your sister and follow me. Time for bed."

Kai glared at him. "Why is he always like this when mom's out working?" He sighed and picked up his little sister and carried her out the door.

Duo looked at Heero on the floor. "That actually looks comfortable. Hey, Helen!"

Helen looked at her father. "Yes, daddy?"

"We're sleeping here tonight."

Helen looked at her little brother sleeping in her lap. "Uh, don't we need blankets or something?"

Duo shrugged. "Okay. I think they're in that office. Go get 'em." Duo fell asleep.

Helen made a face. "Damn it. How do I always manage to get myself to work?" She gently moved her brother to the floor and went into the hallway.

Trowa looked silently at his kids. They nodded an adjusted themselves on the floor and fell asleep. Trowa stayed in his chair, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes.

Helen came back and dropped all the blankets she was carrying on Duo's head. She picked one up for herself and laid down next to her brother. She then realized that the future Katrina wasn't in the room. She stood up and ran out to the hallway to look for her.

Gwen was the only one left. She sighed and look at everybody around her. She looked at her father sadly. *He looks so tired and lonely. I wonder what's bothering him." She sighed. *I'm wide awake. I can't go to sleep. Guess I'll wander around.* She stood up and walked out to the hallway.

Helen was about to give up looking for Katrina, when she found her standing in the doorway to her family's room. Helen stared at her silently.

Katrina cleared her throat and looked at Helen, tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry if I worried you. But you have to understand that this is the first time I've seen my family together like this in so long. I…I haven't seen my father in five years. Robbi…" She looked down. "Robbi I haven't seen in two. And because of the way he…passed, I can't help, but…" She trailed off as she started to cry harder.

Helen stared at the Winner family and looked down, unsure if she should say something.

Katrina sighed and wiped her eyes. "I'm going to do all I can that's in my power to protect them. I would rather die a horrible, painful death, then to see them go through all the grief that I had to go through." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Helen looked at Katrina. "Wha- um, who dies? When? How?"

Katrina looked at Quatre sadly. "Daddy disappeared and Robbi was at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was with Chrissy."

Helen frowned a little. "Chrissy? So, she…well, you know?"

Katrina nodded. "Everybody loses their father, except Kai, Meiran, and Shelly. But…no one's happy. Wufei…he…I saw how he and Kai were acting. Kai should enjoy every minute he has with his father, because one day he won't have the chance to talk to him. No one will."

Katrina looked at Helen. "You're the first to one go."

Helen frowned. "What?"

Katrina stared at the floor. "Robbi, Teddi, Chrissy, Gwen, and you will all die. And you're the first one to go."

Helen let this sink in. "So when will I die?"

Katrina made a face. "See, now, that's the strange thing. What happened tonight wasn't supposed to happen until a week from now. That's why I was sent here. We figured we'd have enough time to prevent this, but…I figured there'd be a time change. A default. But I didn't realize it'd be this spread apart. So, To answer your question, it could be between now and a little after your eighteenth birthday."

Helen thought this over. "So, I have about a year to live," she said to herself.

Katrina looked down sadly. "I'm sorry. If I could change that, I would. Hell, if I could change anything, I would have all those bastards die. Then, no one would be in this position in the first place."

Helen looked at Katrina, a bit confused. "So, why didn't you come earlier than now? I mean, come before all this happened?"

Katrina smiled a little. "Because everybody wouldn't be around. Or, in our parents' case, too young. And we didn't want to risk the non-existence of anybody."

Helen nodded. "So, my death is basically cast in stone, but everybody else has a chance to live?"

Katrina shrugged. "Yes and no, to be honest."

Helen frowned. "Yes and no?"

Katrina laughed. "See, there's this wonderful thing called fate. And destiny. Fate is how things should be and destiny is how things are. You Can't change your destiny, but your fate is based on chance. Your destiny is important. Things happen for a reason and that's why destiny exists. You were meant to die. But for good reasons. I just haven't figured out why that is."

Helen nodded slowly. "So, there's a possibility I won't die, but it's a 50/50 chance."

Katrina nodded.

Helen sighed. "That's a lot. And what about everyone else?"

Katrina shrugged. "I have no idea. All I know is that I'm here to help prevent all this, but if it's destiny…well, I don't really want to think of that right now." She smiled faintly at Helen. "Want to walk around or something? You know, before we wake someone up?"

Helen nodded. "Yeah, let's go."

They walked away from the room silently, each thinking about their future.

Gwen watched Helen and Katrina walk off. She tried to get over what she just heard. *Helen's going to die?* She thought back to the first thing she heard. *Helen asked that girl whn she would die. But why would that girl know?* She remembered Teddi saying something about a Katrina from the future. She frowned. *That must be it. Teddi probably got Helen with his joke. Boy, when he plays a joke, he can go too far sometimes!* She made a face. *Getting some girl to tell Helen she's going to die! The nerve! I'm going to give him a beating he won't forget!* She turned around and decided to walk around a little more. She went down a darkened hallway. *Damn him! Why does he have to be so insensitive?* She frowned more. *Stupid jerk. Why can't he be like his dad?*

So lost in her thoughts was she, that she didn't hear someone walk up behind her. She was about to turn a corner, when she got grabbed and thrown against a wall. She tried to get over her shock and stand up, but whoever her assailant was kicked her to the floor. "Stay down, girly! You're only making it harder for yourself!"

She looked up and saw a guy dressed all in black. He was wearing a mask, so she couldn't see what he looked like. He pulled out a gun and a cell phone. He aimed the gun at her head and dialed. "Hey! I got one! …Yeah… She looks like Peacecraft, so she's obviously her daughter… So, you want me to kill her, or keep her for later? …I don't know…" He turned around, still aiming at Gwen's head. "Yuy's kid, you say? …No… She don't look strong…"

Gwen narrowed her eyes. *Weak?! Me?! I was trained by all five gundam pilots! My uncle showed me how to fight! I'm Heero Yuy's daughter, for crying out loud!* She swung out a leg and kicked the guy's hand. She grabbed the gun as it fell and kicked his legs, causing him to fall down.

He cried out in shock and fell to the floor hard.

Gwen smirked a little and aimed the gun at his head. "Hang up phone, promise me you won't pull this again, and leave peacefully. If you choose not to, I will blow your damn brains out. The choice is yours. Live or die." She lowered the gun a bit, thinking that he would take her offer and leave. Instead, he pulled out another gun. Before he could do anything else, Gwen pulled the trigger.

A/N: 'Kay, I know. Short. I just wanted to get this part out right away, 'cuz of my disclaimer and stuff. Hopefully, I can put more out tomorrow. And give it some time for my people to develop. Teddi's really a punk that acts like Duo and Gwen is a tad bit crazy, but she's really nice once you get to know her! It's that damn Heero gene in her. Well, as usual, R&R. Be nice, though. Flames are hurtful….that's it for now, so bye! ~_^
