It was funny how the part of your life that you should most want to forget is the part that troubled you more to rebuild , he knew why he was going back to L2 , Father Maxwell's life long goal had never been fufilled and this was going to be one of the ways he was going to pay his past back for never letting him forget who he was .... and that was just the beginning.
The colony L2 came into sight of the ship and he watched as he planned , but his first thought was still of the church and those that were there for him when he needed it , he was going to make them proud of him even if it was a small thing ... his faith never would be restored but he had to believe that there was a place for people like those he had known over his life time that just seemed to fall under an old curse.
It had taken some months but he had finally finished ,he stood back reflecting on what he had bent his will to do , he had returned and came up to what was left of the church to find it really hadn't changed much , oh sure time changes everything and this was no different , when he came he found it in use as a place to play for those that hid in the shadows at night , the ages ranged from a few 17 year olds down to the youngest one at 4 years old , they had come together to find a way to manage , the part that struck him most was that they had been there when he had come not that they stayed long afterwards. One would almost have thought it was a day care with the older ones watching for any sign of trouble while the younger ones played , it looked like they had done some work on clearing away the debris inside the building so it made a perfect place to confine and watch the younger ones but now that was all changed , there was a place for them to play , it hadn't been easy but calling in a few favors for some space debris had been the easy part , finding what to use them for creativly .... well that he had some help on , hard to believe when he started this whole thing that all he had thought to do was built the church. The last thought had been what he was going to use to do that with but it seemed that when one person showed enough stamina the whole colony kicked in , for a week straight he had worked at clearing it up , of course under the eyes of those who now ran and hid , soo a few even came out to help him and he accepted the help and before he knew it he had the whole colony offering help , it had been a good sign to wipe away the effects of war here.
After getting to know some of the more bolder children he found that not much had changed , it was all just like when he was growing up , and that would have to change too , starting with getting these children a place to grow up in and be happy , the last two years he had met atleast two children that had never known much happiness and his own sorted past on top just attributed to his greatest fears of more children growing up and living like that , of course he knew a few people who would fully agree and that was the first time he had actually contacted Quatre since he had come back , back to a place he was going to make his home.

One year later
~~~oO(@)Oo~~~
It was official , once more the church had been rebuilt , the area surrounding it that had once seen great horror was now a place of pure fun as it had become a park , bringing the trash of war disaster into a place that childrens laughter had cleansed it of all evils of war and with the help of the Winner's family now the orphanage had been completed , a place finally for the street children to go and hopefully find love once again , ,and all in a bid to try and clean one mans hands of all the blood he himself had brought upon them , was it good enough , even he did not know but it was a start he knew as he sighed and got ready , they had made this into a media circus , a Gundam pilot , bringer of death upon many had come home to try and bring life to others ..... these guys would do anything to get a story but since it was a good time to let Quatre stand in the spot light for all his help and to show that not everything ends in evil he had agreed , and it would be good to see his old friends , they wouldn't miss a chance to goad him on becomming the model citizen that everyone let on he was , he was dressed normally enough for the old God of Death from years gone by but others thought he was some kind of religious man , oh how nice it would be to get started on his next project.
Trey came in , looking pleased as usual , she had escaped
the comotion going on outside and was glad atleast one thing hadn't changed.
"Well , looks like quite the little party down there for you ...
you going to hide up here all day , there are a lot of people asking about
you and some just asking for you like your small blond friend , he looks
like a cat caught in a bear trap"
Duo turned and gave his wickedly grin , guess he had been
leaving Quatre on the spot down there alone but it's not like he had any
more familiarity with being in a spot light and all.
"Ehhh .... , guess I should go offer him a hand or something , get
this whole thing done with so I can get back to just doing my own thing"
Trey came up and grinned , checking over his clothes so
he wasn't about to go walking down there and having forgotten something
, like his head , she had never seen him nerved up like this , but then
he really wasn't use to dealing with everyone's attention on him all at
once.
"You'll do great , just flash that smile and half the girls
down there will forget what they were even going to ask you , just remeber
no running off with any of them , if anyone has dibs it is me .... what
with all the things you owe me for "
She laughed , this had been their own private joke ,
every time she did something he hated to do it was always the same , he
would just laugh after she told him and say he owed her one , the worst
partt was the only thing she wanted to see was him happy , ,and one of
these days she was going to get him back with the biggest joke ever .....
now she just had to make sure that day would come , if she could ever get
him away from trying to do everything and just settle back for a small
time , maybe she should find something for him to tinker with instead
of getting so involved with , ,then she realised she had just created a
big silent pause and laughed again , more at herself then the poor expression
on Duo's face.
"What , did I forget something ?"
He double checked himself but found nothing , man he
hated when she'd get quiet , it was unnerving at times , like she was off
on some remote island and just came back as quick , but maybe she had seen
something this time.
"Nope , your good , was just thinking you'd need a new hobby now
that all this work is done , the last thing I want is for you to get bored
, ,still remember the sink incident , lets get going before they send the
Rescue squad up here for you ...."
Oh lord did she remember the sink , one little complaint
about the color was all it took , 4 months to get the new one he
had "found" in and two of that being straight work after he ripped the
old one out , the idea of doing the dishes in the bath tub still haunted
her. She led him down , normally she knew she should be behind him
to make sure he didn't duck out on them but with his friends here she was
pretty sure he wasn't going far , she waited at the main doors to the re-built
church and looked up the stairs at him , watching him as he looked over
the place one more time before going out into the crowd.
"Come , it is perfect as always , just let everyone else see what
you've made"
