A/N: Hey, hey! I want to apologize for the long update. I was having some trouble writing this one up. At first, I was going to focus this mainly on Relena but then I thought about Quatre and how he felt in the manga, Blind Target, so I decided to base this soley on Quatre. This chapter takes place during Blind Target.
Oh! I just want to thank you for the great reviews! I really wasn't expecting to get over five reviews. THANK YOU SO MUCH:D
PLEASE read the A/N at the bottom.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, Blind Target or the song.
What Can't We Face..?
Heero and Relena had arrived on the abandoned colony to meet up with Trowa, Quatre, and Duo. They now rested in a bare room where the only furniture were two chairs which were occupied by Duo and Relena and a table. The rest were standing.
Quatre listened carefully as Heero told them all that he knew of the new threat: the remnants of the White Fang. Slowly and reluctantly, his mind traveled back to the last days' events.
The White Fang. His fist unconsciously balled up into a tight fish. 'Damn them.'
Not wanting to draw any attention from the topic at hand, he casually walked up to a small window. Resting an arm on the sill, he still faced the conversation, yet his mind was somewhere else.
He closed his eyes and opened them again. The room gradually started to disappear along with the people in it. His hands balled up into fists again as his heart instantly became erratic. His forehead was suddenly covered by a light sheen of sweat as he saw himself walked up to the building. He was almost to the door. Twenty feet. ten feet. He remembered every single detail. Each step, each breath, each word, each--
Instantly the building burst into flames. Fires shot through the entrance with a speed of a bullet, almost touching him. Teasing him. He saw the image of himself backed away from fiery cell. His ears were ringing but that quickly subsided because it was then replaced by something else. Screaming.
Quatre closed his eyes again and reopened them just as he did before. He was back in the bare room. Shit. There was no time to get emotional now. He had to concentrate on the matter at hand.
"Heero," Trowa was saying. He walked up to the table to where Heero was standing behind, beside Relena. "Do you if they have any special weapons? I know that whatever they have, it probably won't be able to face up to our Gundams but that the last path we would want to take."
"No, I don't think so."
"You don't think so?"
The two men broke eye contact with each other to stare at the Minister.
"Not that I know anything about this sort of thing," she continued, "but we can't underestimate them."
"She's right," Duo intervened. "We have to think these things through. Who knows what their capable of." With his elbow on the table, the former Deathsythe pilot rested his chin in the palm of his hand. His face clearly showed his concentration. He suddenly sang:
"I got a theory,
They have a Gundam
A dancing Gundam--" His face became perplexed.
"Nyehh, something isn't right there." Leaning back he scratched his head.
The stress finally getting to her, Relena stood up from her chair and thrust her hands into her hair. Hoping against hope, she sang:
"I've got a theory,
We'll all just dreamin'
And we're just stuck inside
this God damn, awful nightmare."
"I've got a theory we should work this out..."
She turned her head to Heero's voice, making eye contact with him. They both sang:
"Its getting scary
What's this blind
Targeting all about?"
Snapping his fingers, Duo suddenly leapt from his chair making Relena and Heero jumped.
"It could be assassins
Some bad assassins,
Which is redundant
'Cause we just figured
They were remnants of
The White Fang who failed in
Killing Quatre and Relena--
I'll be over here..." He sheepishly walked to a corner of the room.
"I've got a theory
We should work this fast..."
The three people looked up at Trowa, joining in his thoughts.
"Because it clearly
Could get serious
Before it's passed."
"I've got a theory--
It doesn't matter!"
All head swiveled in Quatre's direction. All too shock by his words to say anything, they could do nothing but listen.
"What can't we face if we're together?
What's in this place that we can't weather?
Another war?" He shrugged.
"We've all been there The same old trips
Why should we care?"
Finding a new understanding with his words, all their expressions darkened but simultaneously igniting their determination. The five soldiers of war and peace stood their ground as they sang.
"What can't we do if we get in it?
We'll work it through within a minute
We have to try
We'll pay the price
It's do or die."
Trowa intervened, "Hey, I've died twice."
Quatre smiled timidly at his comrade's dry humor as they continued.
"What can't we face--"
Trowa echoed, "What can't we face?"
"If we're together?
What's in this place
That we can't weather--?"
"We're together."
"There's nothing we can't face..."
Duo couldn't help himself, timidly added under his breath, "I'm Shinigami."
They all stood in their own solitude yet all their hearts had the same purpose. If war was coming to get them, it was going to swallow each one of them whole. And it was going to choke on them.
Quatre looked at the four other people in the room and said, "Lets get those bastards."
IMPORTANT A/N: Hope you enjoyed that. I'm open to any suggestions to make this better. Grr, my dumb sister made me add the stupid Shinigami part. If you think it ruins the entire atmosphere of this chapter, I'll GLADLY remove it!
Oh, and about the request for "Rest in Peace"...do you, the readers, think I should really do it? I thought about it of course and originally, I was going to do it for Relena, you know, to add irony to the whole Relena/Heero situtation but then I decided not to go through with it. If you really want me to do the song, please vote Yes or No. If Yes, do you want Heero or Relena to sing it?
PS: When Trowa sang, "Hey, I've died twice," he was referring to when he was seperated from his family when he was a baby and when Quatre 'killed' him in the series.
