Uncovering, Engel.
It had been six years since that small fight in school. Engel Maxwell was now in the 8th grade, and hating it. He grew bored with school, as at home his family taught him more things then anything else at school. Trowa would take him around to different cities with the circus and taught him how to tend the animals.
He even got to be a part of the show. "And now.. Catherine! The knife throwing woman!" A spotlight shone on her, "And her partner.. Engel!" And a soptlight shone on Engel strapped to a rotating wheel. "ENGEL!?!!?" Duo stood from his seat while Heero and Wufei pulled him back down.
Duo's heart stopped whenever Catherine threw a knife at Engel, on that rotating wheel. "Trowa, that bastard!" Catherine had her last knife, 'I feel dizzy..' Engel thought but kept his concentration. Catherine threw her knife and when it hit the wheel an explosion happened as Duo screamed.
There was clouds of smoke at the rotating wheel, and when it cleared away Engel stood next to Catherine waving and smiling. The crowd went wild with cheers but Duo got up and stalked his way back stage.
"Engel?!"
"Hi, dad! Wasn't I great?!?"
"YOU COULDV'E BEEN KILLED! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!"
Duo rarely shouted to Engel, but he knew his father was scared. "I'm sorry.." Trowa came out from the shadows, "It was my idea." Duo looked up and glared at Trowa. "I just want to beat the living hell out of you..!"
"Engel is one of our own too. And I trust in his abilities."
Duo sighed and felt hands snaking around his arm. "I'm sorry.. I didn't want to scare you.." Engel was up to Duo's shoulder now, "Its ok..." Duo smiled and rubs his head. Engel had bangs like Heero's but he had a black braid that came to the middle of his back.
And he ate more then the rest did like as most 13yrs. olds. He was growing out of shoes and clothing fast like a weed. But he still had a child voice, and he was clumsy at times. Engel dropped out of school a few days after. He got a job at reparing computer parts, door to door.
Engel seemed to grow more distant from his family. He didn't tell them much of anything anymore, but he kept to himself watching the stars. "What's up, little man?" Duo stood next to Engel and smiled. "Nothing..." Duo sat next to his son, "Smoking, eh?"
Engel seemed to grow nervous, "I can smell it from my room.. You know better. Nice night isn't it?" Engel nodded but still seemed nervous, "What?"
"Remember... When I went to school.. And that principal..?"
"Yea? She was kinda bitchy."
"Where is my mother?"
Duo sighed and looked at the sky. "In the stars now."
"Do you have a picture of her?"
"No..."
"Why not? Didn't you love her when yous dated?"
"Dated?"
"Yea, didn't you date her?"
"Oh, its chilly out now.. Come on, Engel you'll catch a cold."
"Tell me! You may run and hide but you never lie.. Right?"
Duo sighed as he walked back inside the house. Duo use to say that but now it was no longer true, he did lie. Engel grew angry that Duo hadn't answered his questions. It was nearing Duo's birthday. Duo didn't celebrate any birthdays, the pilots picked this day for him.
February 1, why that month? Because the birthstone matched his eyes. Duo would be 28, they all guessed it was his age since they were all near the same age. The night of his party Duo stood on the back porch. Engel was inside his tree house retreieving his father's present. Hilde came outside and started talking with him.
"It's good to see you truely happy, Duo.. No more, God of Death, huh?"
"Yea that's right. Those days are gone for good I hope."
"Hey, i'm sure they are.."
'God of Death? My father?' Engel stayed hidden until they both went inside. He wondered why he had such an odd nickname. Late that same night, when everyone was asleep, but Engel. He went inside Quatre's bedroom and slipped past the bed where he saw Trowa laying beside him. Engel carefully lifted the laptop and left the room quietly.
He hooked it up in the kitchen and began hacking into the Preventers database. He was drinking soda, as he nearly choked when he was able to bring the file up for Duo Maxwell. He began to read it...
Name: Duo Maxwell. Age: 16. Former job: Pilot. Past History: Unknown. DOB: AC187 Status: Presumed dead. Last assignment: To stop the rebelious party in Germany. His MS was last seen engulfed in flames.
"What?! My father isn't dead!? What's this nonsense?!" Engel hacked more into top secret files on Une's own database. The screen became flooded with profiles of some pilots.
Name: Heero Yuy Former assasin and Gundam Pilot.
Name: Duo Maxwell Former Gundam Pilot and delivery.
Name: Trowa Barton Former Gundam Pilot, circus entertainer, former soldier of Mariema.
Name: Quatre Rabarba Winner Former Gundam Pilot. Heir to the Winner Estates.
Name: Chang Wufei Former Gundam Pilot, former soldier of Mariema.
Name: Zechs.. Former Oz soldier, pilot of Talgeese 1 & 2. Believed to be dead.
Engel gasped in shock. The Gundam pilots?! His own father!? His family!?
"Who are these people......?"
-To be continued...
Spazmastic: Duo/TOK/Folken, Duo just went to go apologize to the mothers.. And I wasn't focusing too much on what would've happened the day after, since I thought it wouldn't appeal to the readers. Thank you.
