Chapter 6
-------------------
The room smelt of nothing but antiseptic, other than that no other scent had a chance of surviving along side it.
A little piece of medical equipment happily beeped along side another machine and it was getting incredibly irritating.
Was this someone's idea of hell? - Antiseptic air and two machines constantly beeping.
It was dark, pitch black but Heero realised that the reason behind that little problem was his closed eyes. Finding the energy to open them was an uphill struggle, he heard voices.
Luckily it wasn't in a crazy way- 'hearing voices'- but in- another person was nearby- way. He tried to find their location in the room just by concentrating on the voice but the chirping machine kept drawing his attention.
It was annoying- simple as that.
Assessing his injuries without opening his eyes or moving was rather difficult considering that his mind felt like it was smothered in cotton. A drug- he guessed.
He knew he had an IV, if he didn't have one then he'd have died of dehydration by now. He cursed himself for underestimating his body's tolerance to such problems, if he'd gotten it right - he'd be dead by now.
Instead he was somewhere else and with that vague thought he slipped back into the unconscious world of nothingness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sitting with an expression of worry and a touch of fear, with great difficulty, Relena PeaceCraft had finally managed to find the one (person) that she'd been looking for non-stop over the past couple of days.
Over those couple of days she'd felt foolish more than once for chasing after the only guy that had threatened to kill her more than once.
Duo sat at the other side of the bed, leaning back with his arms crossed, softly snoring.
Relena glanced up at him, she couldn't imagine sleeping up right but having said that, she hadn't been a Gundam Pilot either.
A small twitch of Heero's eyebrow had indicated that he was indeed trying to wake up but that was at least thirty minutes ago and so far he hadn't responded to her mindless chatter.
Even if he was awake- she doubted that he'd respond.
It didn't bother her, she'd seen a part of Heero during the wars that had reassured her that he did actually at least like her. Whether it was love or not, she didn't currently care- as long as she was near him. She had to make sure that he'd be all right.
Sally had led her to him, after she'd bumped into the exhausted looking doctor whilst wandering the corridors.
It hadn't been easy to get into the Preventers HQ, soldiers everywhere and much to Relena's annoyance- even two mobile suits at the front of the building, but apparently Lady Une had already cleared it for Relena to be allowed in- she'd obviously known that she was coming in advance.
It was Noin who'd called her and told her where the base was; she was beginning to suspect that everyone had been in on it- making sure that she found Heero.
Probably everyone but her disapproving brother, she mused.
Sally had explained that from the scans it looked like, for better words, "Heero hadn't given a crap about himself". Sally voice had held both anger and sorrow at that.
"Are you really that suicidal? Do you really deem your life that worthless?" she nearly cried as she spoke to the sleeping/unconcious teenager.
She nearly leapt six foot when the calm voice of Trowa spoke behind her, "He's not suicidal- he just doesn't know how to live".
Calming her self and looking with frustration towards Heero, "It's the same thing!" And in a quieter voice, "He shouldn't have run away, we could have helped him".
Stretching and yawning, reminding Relena of a cat, Duo joined the conversation, "Since when did Heero ever ask for help?"
All three of them smiled sadly, even Trowa.
"Well he doesn't have any other choice!...this time" Relena brightly said to the others, "After everything I refuse to let him do anything as foolish as dying!"
Trowa and Duo silently nodded and drew their attention to Heero's frowning face.
His eyes were still closed but the sedative was definitely wearing off, naturally there was bound to be a headache forming. His hand nervously twitched, it had been doing that for a while now- as soon as he felt trapped it would shake. This was the third time it had happened- once at the hospital, then in that cell, now in this place.
Sally strolled into the room to check on his fever, thankfully his temperature was going down anyways- she couldn't safely administer any antibiotics until the sedative was completely out of his system. The fluids flowing into him via the IV were currently working on that problem.
She glanced down to Heero's shaking hand and over to the three faces waiting for answers to questions unasked.
"His fevers going down, the sedatives wearing off" she glanced at Duo and held her gaze at him for a second, "His hands shaking because he's not eaten for a while, no doubt if he tries to stand you'll notice the same with his legs. It should be all right if he stays calm and doesn't get up. I'm still running some more blood tests just to be sure".
Relena nodded, Duo carefully scrutinised Heero for the instant he'd wake up and Trowa silently left the room- satisfied that Heero would be all right.
Trowa went to go check on Quatre and tell him what was happening.
"Where am I?" Heero asked in a hoarse, dry throat even before opening his eyes.
