Blood Red Roses
Previously known as Revenge of the Roses but I really didn't like the name and I lost that chapter and don't really feel like writing it all over and again and such… Heh heh, sorry that I haven't taken the time to write the second chapter in… what was it??? Oh yeah, nine months and eighteen days… eh heh. Well, we meet Lizzy in the next chapter… if there even IS a next chapter…

"She's been alive all these years?"
"Heero, calm down and take a seat. You boys too, it wouldn't hurt you to hear this too." Dr. J said as he sat in his desk. Doing as he said the five looked at each other quizzically before slowly sinking into five of the six chairs in the office.
"Actually, having them all here should prove to our advantage, we won't have to explain things over and over again." Professor G added in as he walked through the door almost unnoticed, shut it and took the last of the chairs and faced the boys.
"I don't believe you! She's been alive all these years and I wasn't even informed!"
"Well Heero, it's perfectly understandable why you weren't told now wouldn't you say?" Dr J replied calmly. They had expected this type of reaction from him. It was perfectly understandably too, what with her being his first worldly attachment and all. "I suppose we should start from the beginning-"
"Where else do stories start?" Duo interrupted, not being able to stop himself.
Ignoring the comment, Dr J went on, " Before the Gundams were fully developed, or even really thought of at all, we trained three individuals to be a-well, a perfect soldier. They were the best of the best, the strongest of the strong and the most obedient people you could find. It's unusual to find all such qualities in one person, let alone three! We trained them in all types of fighting styles and fine toned their emotions until they took the mold we assumed would be the best fighting team the universe has ever known."
"And Liz was one of them?"
"No Heero, Elizabeth came later. We only gained custody over her when she was about 14 years old. The others we had had and trained from the time they were four. Although these three-"
"Who were the three?" Duo asked, his curiosity getting the best of him.
"Frank Lewis, Carter Veans, and Orry Gean. And although those three were the best that you could find strength and stealth wise, they weren't much for translation, code breaking, battle tactics, map making and reading, etc. So we considered terminating them until something better came along and we could make the ultimate killing machine, what we thought we had constructed in the first place.
I was prepared to learn from our mistakes but the other doctors decided that it was too foolhardy to terminate the men whom we had worked for so long with. We fought about it for a while and I was convinced that there was no other way but to kill them off, as harsh as that may sound it was for the well fare of the universe that we were concerned about, not the welfare of failures.
That's when we heard about Elizabeth Jeniseans. We actually heard about her from a Mr. Odin Lowe. He had heard of an orphaned genius just on the shore of Ireland. Of course this was an opportunity that would be a waste not to look into. But when we got to Ireland, we found that she was not indeed in an orphanage as we had hoped, but was living with her father's youngest sister. You can imagine our disappointment-"
"You don't know disappointment, you don't let yourselves know disappointment." Heero cut in, his voice once again in his regular monotone.
"Right you are Heero, we never let ourselves go away disappointed. So we struck a bargain with the girl and her family."
"What was the deal?" Quatre asked in curiosity.
"Oh, nothing out of the ordinary, we got what we wanted, they got what they needed, and they saw each other every year at Christmas. Well, the girl wasn't much of a fighter and basically had no muscle to speak of that would be useful in hand-to-hand combat, but she was willing to learn and she was smart.
We sent her on some missions with the boys where they were ordered to protect her, but in one mission, when the boys were down and she was on her own, she was caught and tortured by the enemy. She never breathed a word besides insults directed to her captors. At least not to our knowledge. But over the years, we acquired Heero, and not only would he be able to survive practically any situation but he was smarter than any child his own age and his intelligence surpassed even some adult's.
The original four (don't forget we added Elizabeth) seamed outdated, they were good at their specific tasks, but individually. If only their talents were combined. So we decided to, er, retire three of the four-Lewis, Veans, and Jeniseans. We decided to keep Gean around, as he might prove extremely useful in your training Heero. Now, I don't want to you go away thinking that I killed three perfectly good soldiers, because after all I didn't kill them:
What we ended up doing, was infecting a type of srym into their systems that would shut down their bodies except for the areas pertaining to the lungs and the heartbeat and would keep their brain waves as going until we injected the anti-srym that would start them back up again. The containers you saw them in were specially designed to keep them in with a type of thick liquid that gave the body the needed nutrition and that kept the body from aging.
Like before, we debated on whether or not the subjects should be terminated or not, we ended up deciding against it. The thought came to mind that one day they might come in use if another war was started, which is the reason we didn't want them to age. This system was first developed for prisoners of war so we would not have to feed them and one day they could be awoken to tell us information or to be brought to our side."
"Why didn't you guys… bring them back during the Eve Wars?" Asked Trowa quietly, it was the first time anyone had heard him talk in quite awhile.
"Simple: At first we weren't sure if they would be needed and finally assumed that the anti-srym wouldn't be needed. So we destroyed it. It has taken us a couple years to re-develop it and it wasn't really our first priority."
"When will you awaken them?" Heero concentrated his eyes to the floor, dreading the answer.
"Actually, they're already awake." This brought heads up and the five boys just stared at the doctor for a moment before his gave his explanation. Chuckling, "We were figuring on doing it in another month or two, incase this new treat died down. But when you discovered that room we figure the sooner the better.
At his moment they should just be starting to wake up again. We'll keep them in seclusion for awhile longer-say a few hours-just to make sure that they aren't too frightened by all that's going on around them. We've called in Orry again, to talk to them each in turn and to calm their fears. Heero I believe you remember Orry? Elizabeth should be the most hysterical. Of coarse they won't remember much about why they were suddenly awakened, but they will remember their previous lives."
"Doctor, you said that you kept their brain-waves active… did they know what was going on this past… however long they've been there?"
"No Quatre, we were able to manipulate their brainwaves so that they would live whatever the computer told them to live. We had an aspiring writer that was enlisted in our care come in and write out the rest of their lives. I believe that Elizabeth at the point in time before today was a remarried secretary with two children and lived in Northern Pennsylvania. To her, the war never happened."
"But wouldn't they suspect when the didn't feel anything? Like when Elizabeth gave birth twice?"
"True, they didn't feel anything, but they thought they did."
A/N: Okay, the problem is, that I started this about a year ago, and then completely forgot about it… so I don't remember what my plot is or what I was going to do with the whole "New Organization" thing… So I have to work on that like, A LOT!!! So, that'd probably the reason that the next chapter might come out a bit late… eh heh…
Thanks for reading my story!!! Do me a favor and review!!!
