Angels? 4/?
~"Quatre petted Maxwell for a moment after he nearly passed out. I couldn't act- I only sat there like a lump until Heero came in. He looked down at the three of us, and the expression on his face was strange, like a combination of fear and discovery and hope and being lost. I looked at him and the emotions in his eyes, worn so boldly around us, stole my breath. I poked Quatre, and he turned to look at Heero. Quatre broke into a smile as Duo turned to face Heero. He let out this yell, and fairly attacked Heero.
"Hee-chan," he said, "Hee-chan, I'm not going to be alone!" Heero just hugged him and kept muttering softly to himself, but I heard him. He kept saying "It's white, they're white..." The smiles on their faces lit the room, I'll never forget it. After a while, Heero spoke up.
`We'll all have wings.` he said. `The scientists rigged up the cybernetics so that when they die, we get wings. They'll fold under clothing so we don't have to worry about anything. Dr. J died 12 hours ago of congestive heart failure. Professor G died, how long ago, Duo?`
`Five days.`
`And the doctors are all dying. Wufei will probably get his next, then Trowa, and then Quatre.` Heero finished.
As Heero spoke, my shoulders began to ache... like exercising after an injury, that tightly painful feeling that loosens after a moment. I took off my shirt, and soft feathers enveloped me. They were pure red. Master O gave me red wings.
At that moment, I realized that he never wanted me to be unhappy. Red has always been a traditional color of joy in China, and L5 was no different. I tried to concentrate on them, and focused, and my wings slowly flapped, gaining strength as I worked at them. I rejoiced, inwardly, knowing that I would never need a gundam to fly now, if I didn't want to.
~A/N: Happy New year! After a long time of thinking and re-writing, I have a new chapter up, and some other nifty things to upload. As always, I own nothing, so please don't sue. Please, R&R, flames will be used as sacrificial fires to pagan Gods and Goddesses.~
