"Where are you going?" Serena asked as she watched Duo stalk around their room looking for something.
"How do you know I'm going somewhere?" Duo asked as he looked up at her. Indigo eyes gazing into sapphire.
"You're always hunting for something before you go somewhere which is deemed important." Serena told him with a small shrug as she read over an email. Shaking her head she grabbed a few things before heading towards the door.
"So where are you going?" Duo asked as he watched her. Serena turned to look at him before smirking.
"I have to go meet someone." Serena told him as she brushed her hair over her shoulders. Grasping at the short length that was partialy brown and blonde she smirked before walking out the door.
"Maxwell what's taking you so long?!" Wufei yelled as he stomped into the room after Serena had left.
"I can't find my gun." Duo told him quietly.
"Idiot." Wufei muttered as Duo pulled something out from under his bed. Opening the box, he smirked and ran out of the room. Wufei followed him and they soon meet up with the other pilots.
"Hey isn't that Serena's jeep?" Duo asked as he pointed out the forest green jeep they had just parked next to.
"I think it is." Quatre answered him in confusion. "But why would she be out here?"
"I'm not sure. But J said that a Gundam is around here somewhere." Duo told him as they got out of Quatre's car. Heero lead the way, after a few minutes of searching they came to a clearing. Looking around they saw nothing out of the ordinary but kept their guard up. Out of no where two shots rang out and hit Heero in both knees. Forming a circle around their injured commrade they looked around the area. Trowa noticed something in a tree and shot just to the right of it.
Serena jumped out from where she was hiding and had her gun pointed straight at them. They knew that she had an expert shot for any milimeters the bullets would have hit Heero in the kneecap shattering them.
"What the hell are you five doing out here?" Serena growled out. Duo and Quatre looked at each other, Trowa and Heero watched each other before Heero nodded his okay. "Wufei I wouldn't even try it."
"Try what woman?" Wufei growled as he tried to walk foward before another shot rang out. Wufei pulled the dart from the back of his leg but soon after fell to his knees in exaustion.
"Don't say I didn't warn you." Serena muttered as she walked closer to them. "Again. What the hell are you doing here?"
"There were reports of a Gundam around here." Trowa told her. Serena's eyes narrowed at his words. The remaining three noted her reaction before Quatre yelled out that Heero was loosing a lot of blood and needed to get to the hospital. Serena rolled her neck before pressing a button on her watch.
About a minute later a pitch black coloured Gundam landed in the clearing. Chaos lowered its hand so that Serena could climb on. She motioning for the others to follow, they lifted Heero and Wufei onto the Gundam hand.
Serena scurried to the shoulder of the Gundam to type in the location that they needed to get to. It was a small hospital that was run by Setsuna and where Serena could do the required surgery to remove the bullets from Heero's legs. Chaos took off towards its location as Serena sat and watched the others look around and put pressure on the leg wounds.
"Thanks for the ride." Serena whispered as Chaos took to the sky again to return to the hanger.
Setsuna had heard the noise of the engine in the Gundam and rushed out with a gurney, knowing that no other pilots knew where this building was. They placed Heero on the strecher as Setsuna and Serena ran into the building. Serena ran to get ready for the operation that she had performed a countless number of times. Hotaru followed Serena into the room to help. Setsuna showed the pilots where they could wait as she walked into an office.
"She tries to kill us, then rushes us here to save Heero. What gives?" Duo asked as he placed Wufei into a nearby chair.
"Well, we know she's a Gundam pilot." Quatre told him quietly. "We were going into her territory."
"What's that got to do with anything?" Duo yelled out only to have Setsuna come out of the room and glare at him.
"Duo before you met us. What would you have done if any one of us had seen or found DeathScythe?" Quatre asked the loud pilot quietly.
"I would have shot you. Much in the same fashion as Heero tried when Relena saw him." Duo admitted. "But it still doesn't make it right. If she knew what she was doing when she shot Heero. Why shoot him twice?"
"She seems to understand us and know who we are." Trowa told him quietly. "Heero is one to complete a mission even if he is injured. A bullet in both legs would even render him unable to do so."
"Wow." Duo replied as he stared at the pilot to HeavyArms.
"It does make sense. He was able to limp with one good leg. With two it would be nearly impossible for even him." Quatre said after thinking it over.
After about and hour Duo was pacing around the room, Wufei was just starting to wake up and Hotaru had just walked out of the operartion room.
"You!" Duo yelled as he startled the short black haired girl. Hotaru turned to look at him her gaze icy at best. "How is he?"
Hotaru noticed the change in his voice and could tell that he was truely worried for his friend. "You can go and see for yourself. Serena's just cleaning up." Hotaru told him. Duo smiled before jogging into the room. Serena walked out of the room a few seconds after he walked in with a glare that promised a slow and painful death.
"I got Amara, Lita and Raye to go pick up your's and their car. Both are parked right outside. However, I think that the seven of you are going to have to stay here for the night. Heero's going to be in no condition to walk." Setsuna told Serena and Hotaru before walking into the waiting room to tell the reamining Pilots.
"And she thinks I'm staying here why?" Serena asked Hotaru before walking towards the doors. Looking out the window she nodded her head before walking towards the closet. "Because it's raining."
Hotaru looked extremly amused as she followed Serena into their normal room.
"Woman there is no way I'm staying in this building." Wufei shouted at Setsuna. Maroon eyes blazed with fire as she stared him down.
"Your friend Heero is in no contition to be moved. And it's pouring out there you can barely see a foot ahead of you." Setsuna told him in a calm but deadly tone.

Well, I hate softball. I got popped in the mouth when I hit the stupid ball. Gurr. It hurt. Then there's this big old storm coming in again. This is what storm number 4 in the past week. I hate thunder so much, but it's not that bad. I'm not going to be able to post this weekend. I have to go to family reunion and I'm sick.
I'm sure you all just wanted to know this, but nahnah.
