I fell asleep to the sound of my crying and the news in the back round. I woke up later to the sound of my laptop beeping and the news had gone off. I opened up a message it said:
Dearest Lori,
We are all ok and have made it thorough the battle though the war is not over. We had to retreat on orders from Dr J. We would like you to meet us at my estates the Winner estates, we hope to see you soon.
Sincerely,
Your friends.
I was so happy I forgot everything that had ever been bothering me. I knew exactly who wrote it. Quatre of course. I grabbed a duffel bag and stuck a few necessary items in the small bag. I locked everything up and got on my motorcycle and left. I looked at my watch it was midnight and it would take me at least 10 hours non-stop to get there.
10 long hours of driving nonstop later
I arrived at the gates of the Winner estates and the Maganacs let me in. All forty were there at the moment. As soon as I pulled in as I was parking my bike I heard footsteps. I looked up 8 figures were walking towards me and one running. Xamick and I hugged as she ran towards me. We let go and began to laugh we couldn't help it we just both needed to laugh cause we had been so miserable and we did. By times the pilots and the recruits (who I still had not learned the names of) got to us we had partly calmed down. I tried to keep a straight face so hard but I couldn't. It was one of those times when I was too happy and had to act like Duo. We all walked inside into the living room. I set my bag down and we all sat down. Xamick was the first to speak "You like watching me be weak don't you" she joked "Yup I do" I replied. "Paybacks coming you watch" she said. "Yeah, yeah Omae O korsu no baka onna" I said. She gave me what was supposed to be a glare but we are talking about Xamick. I couldn't help it I began to laugh. "Shut up" she mumbled and I calmed down no one understood us that much. We were two of a kind.
Later that night as the sun went down we all went to bed. I was sitting in bed setting my alarm clock and something came through the window shattering it to pieces. Then there was an explosion and I was thrown back against the wall from the force of the blast. As I began to fall unconscious I began to hear other explosions. Then everything went black and I slipped into darkness and unconsciousness.
I woke up 30minutes later to someone shaking me gently trying to wake me up. I opened my eyes and the Maganacs or some of them were trying to wake me up. I was a bit dazed but said normally like I had just woken from a sleep and not have been unconscious "I'm up I'm up." They stopped and I rubbed my eyes. "The others are they ok?" I asked nervously. "Their fine their in the living room" one of them answered. I got up and went into the living room tiredly I had somehow not been hurt I plopped down on the couch. It was 3:30 god I was so tired. I looked around no Xamick and no one spoke. "Where is she?" I asked. "Lori I'm….." Quatre's words drifted off and we all fell into an awkward silence and I broke it. "Guys what's wrong?" I said sternly "She is in a coma she is at the hospital but they won't let you see her, I'm sorry" Duo said actually being serious. At that moment the 5 Drs walked in and I could of screamed. "We called Dr. J and the others to help us catch who did this there going to include you in the search to" said Quatre as they entered. "Not in a million years" I said and stood up and walked to the window.
"Where are you going girl?" Dr. J asked. I glanced at him. "To get who did this I'll be in Antarctica if you need me." I said harshly to him "Are sources show there in space though." Dr. J said just as harshly back. "Your wrong I know what terrorists group did this and I know why." I stated flatly. "Who?" asked the perfect soldier. "A group that will do anything to destroy my life and put me in misery" I spoke in a monotonous tone. "Let us help." Quatre said. "Do you want your life to be miserable? I don't think you do so I suggests you don't get involved with this group" "At least show us how you can tell what group it is when we can't," said Wufei. I rolled my eyes and went up to where I had been sleeping.
I walked to the corner where you could still see explosion marks. "For one the explosion marks are different then others when you look closely. Second it didn't explode on impact like something of OZ's" I started. I picked up a small piece of material off the ground and threw it to Heero and he looked at it and passed it around as I spoke "third thing is the type of material that is, it's very rare. That's what the bomb was made of not like most bombs it was made of that fabric material not metal not plastic fabric." I said they all were amazed at how well my talents as a soldier spy and assassin were just like it was the beginning of the first war. They all stared blankly at my wondering how I could get so much considering I went straight downstairs when I woke up, and was knocked out almost immediately during the explosion.
I stood up from my crouching position from where I had been examining the floor for more clues. "Impressive" said Dr. J. "Whatever" is all I said taking after Xamick. "Please let us help you" said Quatre softly and kindly. "No. It's to dangerous I can't risk It." I said while shaking my head no. "Were all trained the same as you are did you forget that" Duo said in his normal cheery voice. "No I didn't forget but you don't know about this group so stay out of it. I'll be back in 30minutes" I walked out of the room I needed to clear my head. I went outside as the sun began to come up and I began to sprint. There was a lot of land on the estate I figured I could run to the edge and back and I did I began to sprint it. When I got back I was completely out of breath and when I walked inside I seemed fine but I sat down on the ground head between my knees. No one knew but I had developed breathing problems and doctors thought it could now be my heart. Also my shins were slightly swollen from my shins splints.
"You ok?" Quatre asked. "Just a little tired" I said, "I need some ice for my shins though" Quatre went to get me ice. A few minutes later he came back with two bags of ice I took them and sat on the couch and put them on my shins and gave a sigh of relief. It felt so good to put ice on my shins. I could tell no one understood why I was in pain when I came back from my run but no one questioned me. No one dared. I regained my breath quickly. Faster then I had expected though I was still a bit light headed and dizzy but it didn't affect me much. "So are you going to tell us about this group onna?" Wufei questioned and at calling me onna which he knows not to I stood up and put the ice down and went to throw a punch and as I did he caught it and hit me in my shins and I grabbed my shins in pain about to scream. "You ok?" questioned Duo innocently. "Yeah fine I just hurt my shins and someone used it against me" I glared at Wufei with and ice-cold glare.
"So tell us about this group." Said Dr J. "Just forget it ok I'll handle it I'll get them back for Xamick this is after all my fault I got her into this war and I'll get her out." "Tell us about the group" said Heero. I shook my head no and walked out I jumped on the motorcycle but it wouldn't start. Darn you Heero Yuy I thought to myself he knew I would try this and stopped me. I looked at the doorway to the garage and sure enough he stood there everyone else behind him. "Heero Yuy I outa." I let my word trail off as I got off the bike I would walk I didn't care I began to walk. Duo grabbed one of my arms and Wufei the other they didn't want me going on my own. I knew they were trying to be the friends I know they are but I needed to do this on my own. I struggled to get free but Wufei being the karate person he is took my thumb and used it to twist my wrist hand and thumb pulling it behind my back and up and I went up onto my toes in pain. "I give!" I nearly yelled and he loosened up. I shook out my hand as Duo let me go. They thought I wouldn't run that I gave in.
As soon as it looked like I truly gave in I whispered "I'm sorry guys" and I sprinted as fast as I could pushing my muscles to their limit. They all began to sprint after me but I pushed harder. Despite the fact that my breathing problems were getting on my nerves I still pushed myself. They were falling behind. I ran farther down the road at least a mile and a ½. I ran into the grass to go find a place to rest I slowed down some. The next thing I know is I was on my knees my head touching the ground and I was almost in tears my chest pain was enormous and I was so light headed and dizzy. The pilots and recruits caught up to me and they were all asking if I was ok and all I could do was shake my head no. "Come on you'll better off is you stand up" said Heero. I couldn't stand up. I tried a couple of times I was just to dizzy and lightheaded. Trowa and one of the recruits (at least I think it was a recruit) picked me up and helped me walk back to Quatre's; they set me down on the couch. I had cried the entire way back I didn't care if I was supposed to be the other perfect soldier I was in pain.
Dr. J came up to me as I put my hand partly on my chest and partly on my throat. I had stopped crying but tears were still in my eyes. He hit me; Dr. J hit me hard across the face and I began to cry again. I looked up at him. "You know better then to cry and let your emotions show," he said sternly. "You think I'm your perfect little soldier with no flaws" I kept on "But I do have a flaw" I said harshly. "And what would that be" he said almost kindly. "I just did a stupid thing I sprinted fast and hard, I have developed breathing problems and now Drs think it's my heart." I said beginning to cry hard "And it hurt it's just as much pain as it is when you self detonate a gundam. But I deal with it everyday of my life. I do missions and I keep running and pushing myself past my limits even when I can't breathe. But how could you understand." I stood up and began to walk outside I crossed my arms the night air was cold against my bear arms. I was crying hard no one tried to stop me.
Why did I tell them that I thought I shouldn't have told them they didn't need to know and it just made me all the more upset. A strong gust of wind picked up and a storm began to roll in. It began to rain hard but I didn't care it just helped hide my tears. I heard light footsteps behind me and turned around to find Quatre. He handed me a jacket and I slid it on. He had an umbrella and knew I wouldn't want it. "Please just tell us about the organization we'll get Xamick and let you rest and if we had none about your problems we would of helped out more" He said kindly. I looked him in the eyes "I didn't tell you because I can deal with it but you act as if I can't." I pulled out a piece of paper from my pocket. "These are the coordinates for the base that hurt Xamick just get them back for me." I shoved the paper in his hand and began to walk again he knew it was pointless to try to catch me so he went back inside.
As it began to lightning I smiled and closed my eyes and whispered to myself "Corey Pope I hope your life is still normal". I turned toward Quatre's and walked back. I walked up the front steps and placed my hand on the doorknob I sighed then walked in. I walked into the living room and everyone looked up at me. "You shouldn't stand out in the middle of the yard like that you were almost struck by lightning" said the usually quiet Trowa. "Whatever" was my reply to him. I sat down on the couch and curled up I didn't mean to but I felt tired and fell asleep. Quatre covered me with a blanket as I fell fully asleep.
