Meteor II: Revelations
"His name is ..." Madeleine blushed. " Wufei, are you happy now? You've gone and embrassed me."
"Why, Wufei?" Silence asked quietly.
"Well, he was just so sweet to me and so kind. I think he only called me weak," Madeleine thought for a moment, "twice."
Silence chuckled, "He knows if he calls ME weak I'll take his pride apart bit by bit and spoon fed it back to him."
Madeleine looked up, "How coulod you do that?" she asked, curious.
Silence smiled, the first smile her new teammates had seen, " I know all sorts of embrassing when you where a chibi Wufei stories, and I'm not afriad to use them for blackmail."
Everyone shared a laugh over that when Una suddenly spoke up, "Has anyone seen Deula? She's been gone a long time. Deula where are you?" she asked herself. "Well, I'm going to look in the house for her, anyone who wants to help is welcome to." With her piece done Una got up and started to look for the wayward pilot and friend.
15 minutes and a house that's been searched top to bottom later...
Una came down stairs, she had just finished looking in the attic with no luck. it had taken a whole of about two minutes for the other pilots to start to help her look. After all they said if they didn't know where she when they might need her help they might all end up dead and as the Dragoness had said, " I don't have the time required to be dead. It's a lot of work and I have enough problems as is." So they all looked.
"Any luck, yet," she demanded of her fellow searchers, the two who had just returned form the basement shook their heads. It appeared that Deula was no longer in the house.
"No, she's not here. She must have taken off for parts unkown while we were trying to get Madeleine's favorite pilot to go out on a date with out of her" Dragoness commented. Saying what everyone was thinking.
At then lake...
"I love you Zechs and I'm so glad you came," she grinneed up at him. " There are times when all I can think about is you I miss you so much."
"I lovde and miss you too, sweety. Just be gald of then time we have together, when nothing is happening."
" Zechs?"
"Yes."
"Can you do me a favor?"
"Depends what it is."
"Well," she leaned forward and whispered in Zechs' ear.
"I think, I can do that. But it's not much to go on" he commented.
"I know, boy, do I ever know. He's as eluscive as anyone I've ever heard of. Maybe even worse that me." she said, thinking out loud. " What I really want to know is if he's a treat."
"He is."
"Then, how big a threat?"
"I'll try, love. That's all I'm saying. No garantees about this, because I might not come up with anything."
"I know! I just need to know whatever I can about him, in case he should attack."
"Alright, I'll see what I can do."
Quatre's mansion
Heero looked, no death glared, at Zechs. "Where have you been?" she asked in a
quiet no nonsense vioce.
One hour ealier at Quatre's mansion
Treize (yes, the author is in denial) entered the room.
"Quatre?" He looked startled to see all of them in the same room. He sighed deeply, what he had to say could not wait.
"I hate to interupt, so I'll be as quick as possible. Forgive me if I'm overly blunt, but does anyone know where Zech is?"
The pilots, sans Quatre, looked at Treize in stunned surprize, after about five minutes they began to reconginze that Treize was indeed real andc he had asked a question. Slowly, one by one, as if afriad to let Treize out of sight, each pilot shook his head.
"I thought not," was Trieze's response. " Well, if that is the case, we must start searching for him."
And so the pilots and Trieze began to search the house. Unforunately their search revealed no, zip, nadda, Zechs. Apparently he had flown the coop, so to speek.
Each retreated to his own room and worried over where Zechs could be and what he could be doing. They worried about the things that best fir their natures. Heero sat stock still worring over a security breach, Quatre if Zechs was hurt, Trowa over the same thing as Heero, and so on.
Quatre looked at Trowa ans sighed, " I just don't see where he could be. I'm pretty sure he's not hurt, I hope not at least. I think I would have felt it if he got hurt. In fact I'm sure I would have felt it. I don't know anything else though. I'm worried, Trowa."
"I know, me too." Was the only response he got.
Treize entered the room silently and heard the last part of Quatre's small speech to Trowa. " Quatre," he said, and Quatre and Trowa jumped.
"Could you not do that?" Quatre asked
"Of course, put your worries to rest. And remember Zechs can take care of himself. He was the best student ever at the academy, after all. Even with out a moblie suit or Gundam, Zechs is able to defend himself. I have confidence in his abilities, you should too." Treize's voice was so soft Quatre had to lean in to catch the words. Even leaning in he barely heard the former OZ leader.
Present time at Quatre's mansion
"Where have you been?" Heero asked again.
"Out on a private matter. A matter that is no concern of yours."
"It is when you risk the mission and ALL of the people involved."
"How does my personal business 'risk the mission'?"
" Your 'personal business' may lead to a security breach that could cost someone their life and then we will never be able to complete the mission."
"I didn't tell her any thing of this 'mission', but I do beleive, Gundam pilot or not, I am allowed to have a personal life, without checking in with Lady Une or you frist!"
"I'll ask one last time, where were you?"
"And I'll tell you one more time, none of your goddamn business." With Zechs stromed up the stairs and into the room that was his at Quatre's mansion.
Meanwhile, hidden in the shadows,Treize sighed. *That was not the way to approach Milliardo (Sp?) about a matter he considers to be private. After all the lighting baron treasures hos privacy. Even through it all you haven't changed so much as you would have the others think my friend. Strangely you still seem to refer to this mystery woman as she or her. Who are you protecting, what are you hidding.*
Safehouse of female pilots...
Deuls quietly opened the door and slunk into the house, only to be ambushed by Dragoness and dragged into the living room.
"Where were you?" Una demanded, " You scared me."
Deula smiled, Una was still the protector of the little ones, even if she was older than her sister. And she did owe these people an explation.
"I was visting one of my men. He was in the frist group I ever lead into battle. He retired last year. He lives around here, so I thought, while you where coaxing a name out of Madeleine I'd go visit him. I guess it took longer than I thought it would. Who was it by the way, which pilot?"
Una smiled, Deula hadn't changed. "It was Wufei, or pilot 05. Now that we know that everything is okay, we can all go to bed and get some sleep."
A chorus of "at last's" went through the asembled pilots as they sought their beds. All expect Silence who fit her hunter greemn helmet over her head and walked out the door, she had a mission.
A few minutes later, 38 km due east from Quatre's, near Sally's...
A green Gundam was engaged in a battle with so many moblie dolls the sky was was black with them. It was a battle that the gundam was definately not winning. Not that the pilot was amazing, the pilot was, it was just that there was too many enemies for one Gundam to fight.
The Gundam went down, the dolls retreated, the one in control of them foolishly thinking the Gundam and it's pilot obliterated. That's how Sally saw the scene anyway. As soon as she was certain it wasm safe she ran out to the destroyed machine. She had to see if she could help the pilot or if they were all ready past help. She had to try and save that pilot, it could be important to the war.
When she reached the fallen gaint it took her serval minutes to figure out how to open the cockpit. When she didget it opened she was shocked. Inside there was a young woman, no, a girl really, who looked hurt. Sally was surprized, she didn't even know woman piloted gundams, let alone fight like this one had. It was a shock to say the least.
Picking her up she carried her new pateint towards the jeep she had come here in, turning her jeep towards her home she hoped the mysterious pilot could hold on. Looking to her home, the place she would try to save this pilot's life she hoped time was on her side.
