May, 22nd / 200 AC
"Come out. . . Come out . . . Where ever you are" sang a twenty-year- old woman. She could hear the giggles of her five-year-old child. "Momma's going to find you". Braided light brown hair fell over the woman's shoulder. Her Amethyst Eyes sparkling in happiness.
"BOOO!!!!" shouted a little boy. The Woman jumped and whirled around facing her son. Amethyst eyes sparkled with laughter as the little boy ran away. His messy chocolate hair sticking up everywhere. "Save me, Grandpa!!!" The little boy ducked behind the legs of a elderly man.
Howard nearly fell over as his adopted grandson hid behind him and his adopted daughter, scooped her darling baby boy into her arms. Duo Maxwell, mercilessly, tickled her son, Solo. The five-year-old shrieked in laughter, squirming to get away from his mother. "Whoa, Momma's tired" Duo said, collapsing on to the couch. Her son was certainly energetic. Solo rested against his mother, he was tuckered out from playing with his mom.
Howard rested the tea down on the coffee table of Duo's nicely furnished apartment. The Scavenger had stopped by for several days to see his little family. Solo had grown alot since the last time Howard had seen him, which was sometime last year, and the boy was attending Juuban Academy. A school had went from Preschool to University. "So, how have you two been?" Howard inquired.
"Great, Grandpa!!" Solo answered. "Momma's been working really hard with her preventer job, though". Howard looked at Duo, who simply shrugged.
"Lady Une came to me about heading the Intel and Stealth Department, how could I turn her down?" Duo questioned. "I don't see any of the Guys when I working . . . I'm the Goddess of Death, they couldn't harm me even if they tried".
"Momma? If you're the Goddess of Death . . . Does that me Angel of Death?" Solo asked, cutely. Duo smiled and nodded. Solo's heart-shaped face lit up. "Did you hear that Grandpa? I'm the Shi ni Tenshi". Howard smiled and nodded. "No one can beat me!!!" The little boy jumped off his mother's laps and struck and pose, laughing.
"Yep, that your kid alright" Howard said.

Heero Yuy looked at a picture that sat on his desk. It was a picture of him and his estrange partner. Quatre had manage to get the picture when the two were sitting on a swing sit, Duo had fallen asleep on Heero's shoulder. And the perfect soldier simply stared out into the rain. It was the only reminder of Duo that he had left besides the note that Duo had left behind.
"HEERO!!" came a high-pitched voice. Heero winced and sighed. Quatre Winner, Trowa Barton and Chang Wufei gave him sympathetic looks as the former Queen of the World glomped on to the usually stoic ex-pilot. "I've missed sooo much!!!!"
Heero sighed and watched as Relena squeezed the life out of his muscular arm. "Excuse me" came a voice. "Do you have a pass to be in this area?" Both Heero and Relena looked up at a young woman wearing an Intel and Stealth Agent's uniform. "Do you?"
Relena leveled the woman with a glare. "Do you know who I am?" Relena questioned. The woman raised one of her perfect chestnut eyebrows.
"Your pass, Miss" ordered the young woman.
"I am Vice Foreign Minister Relena Darlian" said Relena. "I am allowed to visit when I . . . . Hey!!! Let Go!!!"
"Security!! GET IN HERE!!!" shouted the woman. She, carelessly, shoved Relena at one of the guards. "Escort Minister Darlian out of the building, for her own protection, Of Course". The guards walked away with Relena, sulking in the middle. "Damn annoying pest". The woman turned only to be greeted by Quatre, Trowa, Wufei and Heero. "Can I help you?"
"No, just wanted to thank you" Quatre said. He gave the other preventer a smile.
"Uh . . . your welcome" replied the woman. She pushed her black rimmed glasses back up on her nose. Her chestnut hair was wrapped around her head. "Excuse me, I have to speak with Lady Une". She side-stepped and walked away. The ex-pilots watched her leave, surprised.
"I like her" Wufei stated, suddenly.
"You don't even know her" Trowa retorted.
"So, she got rid of that annoying Onna, more then enough for me to like her" said Wufei. "Don't you agree". His three comrades nodded.
"She's cute" Quatre said. Trowa looked at his small blonde haired lover. "In a stoic sorta way". He looked up at Trowa and blushed softly. Heero shrugged. There was something familiar about that woman. He sat down, his eyes traveled to the photo of Duo and himself. He sighed. He missed Duo.
---------
Duo let a breath of relief escape her lips as she appeared before Lady Une's office. She rapped, softly on the Commander of the Preventers. "Enter" came Lady Une's brisk voice.
"You call, Ma'am?" Duo inquired as she opened the door.Une nodded and gestured for her Intel and Stealth Head to close the door. "Something wrong? You seem tense?"
Lady Une flipped a switch. "We can talk freely now, Duo" Une said. Duo raised an eyebrow at her commanding officer's informality. Slowly, Duo sat down in one of the chairs in front of Lady Une. "We have a problem . . . A serious problem". She handed a folder to Duo. "This earlier yesterday morning, your rooster day".
Duo opened the folder and studied the strange language before her. It looked familiar, where had she seen this before? "Can you decipher it?" Lady Une inquired.
"I'll get right on it" Duo said. "It'll take me the day to do it . . . Which means I'll be home late again". She sighed and rubbed her eyes. "Oh, well, Howard's staying with us for a while, he can watch Solo for me until I get home".
"I wouldn't have done this without my reasons, Duo" said Lady Une "You understand, don't you?" Duo nodded. She stood and walked out. Lady Une turned back to her work. Duo had her nose stuck in the folder, studying the message. It was really nagging her, for she knew that she had seen this type of code before. But couldn't place it.
"Where is this from? The War?" she mumbled. That seemed about right . . . But where in the War did she see it? Suddenly, she went flying backwards and landed on her back. There sitting upon her was one of her Sub-Commanders. "Shadow?"
"Hiya, Jinxy!!"
"Get off her, Shadow!!" came a voice.
There stood her other sub-Commander, Mimic. He bent down and hauled his shorter partner off their Commander. Mimic then bent down and pulled the petite Captain to her feet. Duo knelt and gathered up the folder and her glasses. "What are you two doing up here?"
"Following you" Shadow replied, he nosed around the folder. "Hey, Neat . . . What . . . MMPH!!!!" Mimic and Duo covered his mouth. He blinked his amber-honey eyes at their behaviour. Mimic dragged him out with Duo following. She noticed Heero, Wufei, Quatre and Trowa were looking at them, curiously. She gave them a hard glare, they returned to their work.
"Let's get back to the Underground" Duo ordered. "And Shadow, keep that trap of yours shut, understand!" Her sub-commander nodded and wiggled a little bit but Mimic held strong. He gave up and allowed the taller one to draw him away.

Solo picked up the phone as it ringing had awakened him from a nap. "Y'ello?" he yawned.
Baby? Oh, I did I wake you?
Solo perked up. "Momma? How come you ain't home? It's past your working time" stated the five-year-old.
I know . . . I know . . . Momma got pulled into something, so I'm gonna . . . .SHADOW!!!
Hey, Kiddo . . . How's Uncle Shadow's darling Nephew?
"Hi, Uncle Shadow . . . Is Uncle Mimic there too?"
Hey, Uno
"It's Solo!!!"
Yeah, I know . . . It's just more fun to call you that
Anyway, Baby, I'm gonna be late comin' home . . . Is Grandpa there?
"No, One of the guys from the Ship called . . . He had go back early" Solo replied. "He tried to find me a babysitter but couldn't".
WHAT?! SHADOW GET YOUR ASS OVER TO MY PLACE AND GET MY SON!!!
Sir, Yes, Sir!!!
And pick up some pizza
Aye-Aye
Solo giggled. "Oh, Momma, someone called for you today . . . Went by the name of Hilde Schbeiker". He watched the color leave his momma's face. "Momma? What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Yeah . . . I'm fine . . . Why don't you pack somethings to keep you occupied when you get here.
"Kay, I'll see you when Uncle Shadow returns back".
Bye, Sweetheart
"Bye Momma".
Solo hung up the phone. He head to his room to pack some things to keep his mind occupied while he stayed at his mother's work. Solo rubbed his eyes. He was sleepy. Maybe he could take a nap in the car.
*
I'M TELLIN' YOU WHAT I SAW WITH MY OWN EYES!!!
"But could you be sure that it was actually Duo's child?" asked Quatre. He had been conversing with Hilde over the pass hour about her finally tracking Duo down and contacting him. Only to have a child that answered to the name of Solo Maxwell answered the Vidphone.
Here's a picture that a I manage to save from my Vidphone
A boy, no more the five-years-old, with messy chocolate hair that stuck up everywhere stared up at him. Beautiful amethyst sparkled with life and energy. The boy looked definitely to be Duo's son but something was off. There was another feature in there that Quatre couldn't place. "By Allah, this child is Duo's" Quatre said. "But who could be his mother?"
That's the strange thing . . . When I asked for Duo, the kid said 'Momma' wasn't here and could he take a message.
"Duo? A Female?" Quatre said. He made to shoot it down but then several pieces of a puzzle clicked into place. The reason why Duo left . . . Why he could get so moody and always in pain . . . Strange bloodstains on the bedsheets . . . It all fit. "Hilde are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
I think so but one question still plagues me . . . if Duo's the Mother of that little boy . . . Then . . . Who's the Father?
"That Hilde seems to the question" said Quatre. "I'll get back to you later . . . I have to tell the other pilots and try and track Duo's work location from here". He gave the girl a smile. "Thanks Hilde, The others will be relieved to learn about Duo".
Anytime . . . Just get her to contact me when you find her
"You got it" Quatre said. He closed off his Vidphone and stood. Trowa just appeared in the doorway with take-out food. Wufei following him with drinks. "Guys, I got something I got to tell you".
"Can it wait til after supper?"
"It has to do with Duo". That got their attention and Heero's.
