Bryn: Ok, warnings. OC, slight OOC, AU, major bluntness. So don't read if you are offended by any of those.
Mara: And if you are offended and read anyway, we warned you, so don't bother flaming.
Bryn: Awww… don't tell them that!
Mara: *blinks* Why not?
Bryn: Flamers make me giggle! ^^;
Mara: O.o;;; *sigh* Anyway, read and review.

This time when Tabitha awoke, Heero was sitting next to her. Eyes met, hers barely wakeful, his cold and calculating. She spoke first.
"Mornin' Heero. Wusup?" Her words were slurred with sleep, and her eyes blinked with difficulty, not wanting to open up to the light. "Hn." Tabitha grinned. "Yup, you're Heero."
At that Duo walked in, announcing cheerfully, "Breakfast Heero!" Heero turned his glare onto Duo. "Nice to see you too." He looked at Tabitha. "Hey, you're awake!"
Tabitha groaned. "It's to early for cheerfulness. Unless it's to annoy Heero…" She grinned, "then I'm all for it." Duo laughed. "Hungry?" She made a face. "No."
"Liar. I'll bring up something for both of you." With a smile and a wave, he disappeared.
Tabithas's smile faded. "Now my ears are ringing. Heero, are you gonna glare at me all day?"
"Yes." She blinked. "Dude! You talked!! The wonders never cease, do they?"
Duo chuckled as he walked in. "Brought your food. Heero, let her have a last meal before you kill her."
"He can't kill me if he wants answers. Unless he wants to try Dr. J…" She grimaced, "of course, it's easy to get answers if you give him what he wants…"
Duo paled. "UI think I'm going to be sick. He's probably all wrinkly…" At Tabitha's nod, he shoved the plate at Heero before running out of the room.
Tabitha grinned before glaring at her meal. "I'm going to be sick of soup. I supposed it's better than having food pumped in and out of my stomach, but still…"
Heero said nothing as he lifted the mug of soup to her lips, which she sipped gratefully. When she sat back with a sigh, he began his own meal. He finished and watched her sleep. pShe awoke again to glare at Heero. "You didn't need to drug it. I would've slept anyway."
Heero shrugged. "Answers." Tabitha grinned. "Questions." "Who. What. Where. When. Why. How."
Tabitha leaned back and stared. "Heero? You made a funny?" She struggled to sit up and get her hands curled around the shoulders of Heero's tank. "Who are you and what have you done with Heero!?" Heero smiled and slowly uncurled her shocked fingers from his shirt. "I'm Heero. You say your name is Tabitha, Tab for short. You know as much about us as our "controllers", if not more. Now, who are you."
"Told you. I'm Tab."
"Ok then. What are you."
"Human, I believe." She grinned at Heero's glare. "A friend, and that's all you're getting."
"Fine. Where and When won't make sense. Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why did we get a mission to rescue you?"
"How the Hell should I know?!?" Heero glared and she sighed. "Because those idiots think I would tell Oz about you, probably. Go ask your dear Doctor if you can suck him off for answers." She glared and hmphed at him when she got no reaction.
"How." Before she could ask, he clarified. "How do you know so much about us?"
"Ask Lena. Same way as her, just a bit more subtle." She grinned, "Unless, of course, you don't like subtle…"
Tabitha hugged Heero just as Quatre walked in the door. He was about to leave, his face bright red, when Tabitha stopped him. "Now worries, Quatre, you ain't interrupting anything. I'm just practicing my Lena glomp. Minus the whining, of course." She straightened and Heero turned to look at Quatre.
"Dr. J is coming-" Tabitha coughed and Quatre's face reddened even more. "The others are coming as well." This time Tabitha couldn't control her laughter. She plopped into her pillow, oblivious to Heero's glare and Quatre's blush. Finally, she spoke.
"Here's your other questions Heero." Heero looked at her, waiting for a clarification. "Where and When."
"Quatre blinked. "Here, of course. In there days."
Tabitha blanched. "Three days?!? I'm supposed to be able to fend them off in only three days?!" When she calmed down a little, she looked Heero in the eye. "Got a mission for ya Heero. Make sure those bastards don't rape me."
Heero looked at her for a moment longer before closing his eyes and nodding. "Mission accepted."
