Walking Through Walls
A.N. thanks for your reviews and sympathy, and I don't mean to be mean it's just people have been sending reviews to not just this story but all my others stories with the same complaint and it's driving me insane. In fact when I told people to read the author note in one chapter someone was smart enough to ignore it and complain how bad of a writer I am. I had to email and send them the A.N. despite my growing insanity and thirst for their blood! But they're not bad people they just enjoy making me scream.
Trowa entered his sister's room next door. "Cathy why aren't you up cook-?" he looked around, the room was empty. He shrugged and walked out. The sound of the coffee cup breaking on the hard ground echoed in the house. "Trowa?' Misty asked concerned as she walked around the corner. "What's wro-!" she stopped dead and gave an ear-piercing scream.
"Trowa's inconsolable." Zechs informed the other team members. Trowa just sat in the corner numbly repeating "her blood". "What exactly did they write on the wall using her blood?" Hilde asked. "Nothing except 'Walking Through Walls'. I can't imagine what kind of mutant criminal could do this or how they got in! The cameras have no record of ever seeing what happened. A strange mist covered it." Zechs explained. Relena just stood by watching. She had been told this was a "safe" place. But that was longer true. Still, she had no other place to go where she could be accepted.
"Why are we here? Did they find anything?" Hilde said as all the members sat in Zech's office. Duo shrugged. "Got me." he said. "How did he end up in a wheelchair anyway? I mean he's pretty powerful guy." She said. " I don't know much about it to be quite honest, all I know is something happened between him and Treize." Heero spoke up from where he stood at the wall. Relena entered through the doors and everyone made sure to stay away from her. She looked away hurtfully. They had a fear of her powers. She looked down shamefully. The door suddenly opened and there stood Trowa next to Zechs. "We have a video form Catherine's kidnappers." Zechs said gravely. He rolled over to a VSR and TV putting it in. There was a picture of Catherine lying in a coffin with blood all over her stomach. Relena's stomach gave a sickening lurch and she backed away. Trowa remained silent and calm appearing but his eyes held panic and fear. Misty looked at Trowa with concern. Hilde had a hand to her mouth and Duo held a disgusted look. Heero just stared unemotionally at the TV screen. Wufei looked angry and disgusted. "Where could it be?" Noin asked. Zechs turned around. "We don't know. They didn't give us a hint this was just part of their sick joke to send us something." Zechs replied. "It's easy." Heero said from the corner. "There's a cotton candy, dirt, and popcorn smell to the tape. It reminds me of a carnival." Heero answered. "Oh ya sure! Out of how many carnivals' all over the Earth?!" Duo said sarcastically. "There's a carnival near here. Catherine wanted to go, right Trowa?" Misty spoke up and laid a hand on Trowa's shoulder. He nodded. "We have no choice but to check there first." Zechs instructed.
"Sorry, but you're new members and Treize still wants you. We can't endanger you two besides your powers aren't fully developed for battle." Trowa said to Hilde and Relena who looked down in disappointment. "Just stay here, we'll be back soon." Heero said as they turned and left. "Aawww, how boring?!" Hilde said annoyed. She stomped her foot on the ground and Relena just stared. Hilde brightened and smashed a hand into her palm. "Hey I know! Let's go without them knowing!" she said excitedly. "But they said- !" "Don't tell me you do as you're told ALL the time!" Hilde said exasperated. "No but-!" "Good, then we leave." Hilde said and ran off.
"We really shouldn't! Mr. Yuy wouldn't approve!" Relena pleaded. "Mr. Yuy? My gosh, you like him a lot huh?" Hilde said. Relena blushed. "It really doesn't matter. I don't think anyone could ever feel the same way toward me especially with my powers." Relena replied softly. Hilde looked at her with pity. "Come on just hop onto Mr. Silent's motorcycle. H won't mind." Hilde said patting the seat of Heero's motorcycle. "But you don't even have the keys." Relena argued. "Do I need to remind you I'm a thief?" Hilde said twirling the keys. Relena sighed in defeat. Hilde hopped onto the motorcycle. "Come on girl! The bike's calling your name!" Hilde said hitting the area behind her. Relena hopped on and Hilde thirstily drove the keys into the ignition. She smiled as the motor roared and they flew off.
"Okay, let's split up and meet up in an hour at the entrance." Heero instructed. Everyone turned and went their own way.
Quatre and Wufei sat down as the lights dimmed for the magic show. "Welcome ladies and gentlemen." The voice began.
Duo grinned as his bumper car rammed everyone's in site.
Misty hopped onto a horse for the Merry Go 'Round. "Settle up cowboy!" she said patting the horse next to her. Trowa grumbled and got on.
"You didn't want to come for help you wanted to just play." Relena said. "I only want to go on the water slide once! Besides, it's so tall we get a big view of the park." Hilde replied innocently.
Heero looked around as crowds of people wandered the park.
"Are you sure Mr. Treize?" Lady Une said and he nodded. "This is a very delicate process and if something goes wrong it might cause permanent brain damage. You'd be the first mutant to test it on." Dorothy said. "That's fiend by me. Nothing can ever be achieved without risks.' Treize said sitting in a seat. Une hesitantly placed the metal cap on his head. "The process for transferring DNA of one person to the next is very vulnerable so I need you to relax and breath." Dorothy instructed. Une placed the amnesia mask over his mouth and he began to count. Everything soon went black.
Relena watched as Hilde went down the slide screaming with excitement. She was next. Relena hesitantly slipped down. The water rushed beneath her and her body went down curves and dips. Suddenly the bolts below began to rattle and suddenly a part of the slide collapsed. She gasped and flipped over it landing on the other side of the slide. Hilde below watched with shocked. Many different bolts suddenly rattled and the slide began to collapse beneath her. She screamed as her body was falling from a high place and the ground was getting closer. Suddenly something grabbed her and she was gone. Hilde's heart raced as Relena disappeared. Suddenly Relena appeared beside her in Duo's grasp. "Duo!" Hilde said happily and he grinned. "Hey babe! What're you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at the institute?" He said grinning. Hilde smiled innocently. "We're only enjoying the park." She replied. "Uh huh, sure." Duo said. "Aw, Come on Duo! We want some action too! How can you take all the fun away from us?" she said disappointedly and traced his chest. He blushed. "Well, alright. Just this once. I can never refuse a lady, especially a pretty one." He replied flashing a flirtatious smile. He inwardly moaned as he felt something warm on his stomach. It only took him a second to realize it wasn't Hilde's hand. She smirked and walked away and then Duo's eyes widened. A firework went off and Duo gave a cry. Hilde walked away leaving Duo clutching hi stomach. He growled playfully. "I can never resist a crafty one either." He said grinning. He ran to catch up with the girls despite the fact half of his shirt was blown off.
"I could sense Treize's powers back there. He almost killed Relena.' Duo said gravely. 'The fall was big but not fatal. It most likely would have given her a few good broken bones." Hilde replied thoughtfully. Relena just trailed behind deep in thought. "What are they doing here, Maxwell?" a voice asked coldly. Duo stopped and flashed a nervous grin.
Relena and Hilde watched Heero as he continued to give them a penetrating gaze that sent shivers down your spine. "Look Heero, they only wanted to have some fun!" Duo said. "Shut up." Heero said not looking at him and immediately Duo cowered. "You went against orders. We told you to stay at the institute." Heero said. They looked down. "For punishment you are suspended for a week." Heero said icily. "Wow! Heero, that's harsh!" Duo spoke up. "Shut up, Duo.' Heero said in a deadly tone. Relena angrily stepped forward. "No, I'm not going to be suspended!" she said and Heero walked right up to her. "You'll do as you're told." He argued angrily. 'I never asked to join that dumb school anyway! Forget it, I'm leaving. I don't need anyone telling me what to do. I was better off on my own." Relena retorted and began to walk away leaving everyone stunned. Heero angrily ran forward and grabbed her arm spinning her around. " You're too naïve. You don't get what the real world is like. They won't except you for what you are and you can't hide it forever." Heero said. "Why not? You guys do! Pretending that it's some kind of prep school but it's for mutants!" Relena retorted angrily. "You'll never fit in anywhere else!" Heero warned. "That's a joke I don't even fit in here! Everybody still looks at me like a freak!" she spat and ran off.
Relena walked to the Ferris Wheel and got on. She sat there staring out as hot tears came down her face. She didn't care, she just let them run and ignored them. Her body was numb from the cold. The Ferris Wheel stopped with her at the top. She looked down and saw Heero, Duo, and Hilde. Suddenly the Ferris Wheel gave a violent shake.
"The metal is being controlled by Treize somewhere but I can't figure out where!" Heero said looking around. Another violent sound came. "Heero! The Ferris Wheel is about to collapse!" Duo yelled in panic. "Duo1 Hurry and teleport up there!" Hilde said. "I can't! I can only teleport to where I've already been!" Duo replied in fear. Heero ran forward. He forced out his metal claws and began to climb the Ferris Wheel. Relena looked over Suddenly Heero stopped dead. He cried out in pain. "He's made out of metal too!" Duo yelled slapping his head. "This is bad! Come on!" he said to Hilde. He turned and ran.
Relena looked out as Heero tried to keep hold on the Ferris Wheel. "Heero!" she yelled. Suddenly another shake hit hard. Relena was forced out of the Ferris Wheel and fell downward. Her leg hit a part of it causing a painful crack. Relena grabbed onto another piece desperately. She pushed herself up and onto that piece. She laid there holding her leg painfully. Heero gave a harsh cry and lost his grip on the Ferris Wheel. Suddenly he was caught in air by someone. "Quatre?" Relena whispered in awe as she saw him framed with angelic wings. Then, the Ferris Wheel gave a violent lurch harder than the other and the Ferris Wheel began to tip. Relena grabbed hold to the Ferris Wheel as it tipped all the way. She screamed along with the many other screams of fear. It was ready to hit ground but suddenly it froze. "Hurry1 get them out!" Trowa yelled. The employees and nearby witnesses ran to the Ferris Wheel breaking open the doors and helping people out. The Ferris Wheel landed gently on the ground. 'All these people saw Heero sue his powers!" Duo said. Trowa looked over at Misty. "Do you have enough energy left to erase their memories?" Trowa asked concerned and she looked down. "I'll try." She said and closed her eyes. The people around them froze, like time had been stopped. Relena limped over to where they were. "This is great! We are so dead!" Hilde said noticing Relena wound. "Her leg is broken and a bit bloody." Quatre said examining it. Heero kneeled by Relena and grabbed her hand. She looked up confused as he removed it. "Touch me." he said. "What?! I could kill you!" Relena said looking at him like he was insane. "Then don't. Just touch me long enough to get some of my healing powers.' He said. Relena looked at him. "But you'll be left pretty weak for a while and you're our leader!" she argued. "Just do it." He ordered. Hesitantly she reached a hand up and touched his face. Slowly her wound healed. She could feel her bone reattaching which seemed grouse. Heero didn't look well at all. He looked like he was aging, his skin got a greenish tint where she touched him and his body got a weird look like it had scales on it. Heero was frozen in pain and shock. Relena pulled away forcefully. Heero fell to the ground at the time that people resumed walking suddenly. Misty stood there weakly for a moment when her eyes rolled back and she fell unconscious into Trowa's arms.
"Are you alright? We should have brought Sally." Wufei said examining Heero as he sat on the ground near the entrance with everybody else. "A lot of people left." Hilde mused. "They said that the Ferris Wheel collapsed due to technical difficulties so people think the entire park is now unsafe and have left." Quatre explained. "But there are still people walking around so we need to be careful with out powers." Trowa said. "One things for sure. If Treize is here chances are so is Cathy." He added looking down. "But where? This place is huge!" Hilde commented. "We'll split up into two people and look. Trowa, is Misty coming around?" Heero asked looking up. "She's fine. I saw her stir a little while ago so it shouldn't be long now. I'll stay here until she wakes up and then we'll go look." Trowa answered and Heero nodded. "Quatre, you and Wufei can go. Hilde and Duo don't get sidetracked. I'll take Relena since they seem to have some knack for wanting her dead." Heero instructed. "But you're still kind weak. You might not be able to protect her by yourself. Hilde and I will go with you." Duo said. Heero opened his mouth to refuse " It's decided." Trowa said calmly.
Relena entered the Magic Show. "Wufei and Quatre said something strange was happening here." Heero said. "But didn't they already investigate it?" Duo asked. "Ya but they said when they went back stage and interrogated the worker they were thrown out. They thought we should check here while they looked elsewhere." Heero answered taking a seat.
Trowa sat on the bench next to Misty's resting body. She stirred some and blonde curls spilled down her shoulder. Her eyes slowly opened revealing an emerald spark to it. "Trowa...." she whispered tiredly. "Ya, I'm here." He said as she sat up. "Trowa, I saw where Catherine was."
"Now, I will do a very famous trick you may see at many magic shows, my disappearing trick. I will select someone form the audience to come in here. I will put you inside this coffin and you will disappear. When I say the magic word, you will reappear." The magician announced. A spotlight twirled around the room and landed on Relena, the room filled with applause as Relena looked around fearfully. "You there, why don't you come up here." The magician said. Relena stirred in her seat nervously. "This could be trap!" Heero whispered to the other. "What do you we do?" Duo asked. "Relena say no!" Heero answered but when he looked she was already gone. Heero gritted his teeth. "What is she thinking?!" he said angrily. "Is it me or is Relena walking like she's in a daze." Duo said looking at her. "Well she was walking kind of strangely but you can hardly notice." Hilde said. Relena crept into the coffin. The magician closed the coffin and waved his wand. He talked to the audience some and then opened the coffin, nothing was there. He closed the coffin and whispered a few magic words for her reappearance then opened the coffin again. "She's gone! I knew this was trap!" Heero said and stood up angrily. The magician looked at the coffin in shock and closed it again retrying the trick. It made no difference. "This is bad." Duo said. The show ended after one more trick while Heero looked, smelled, and listened for anything. "They just dismissed her disappearance saying she would appear back in an hour. How lame." Hilde muttered. Heero got up immediately and ran past them. Heero ran down the stairs and grabbed the magician by the collar. "Where is she?!" Heero asked in a deadly voice. "I-I don't know!" the magician answered fearfully. Heero threw him down. "Fine then I'll look.' He said and walked past him. "I'm sorry sir but you are not authorized, security will handle this!" the magician yelled. "Right, well I'll be seeing you in court." Heero said back. A fearful look came over the magician's face. "Fine then, look!" he said and Heero smirked.
Heero walked down to the basement. He spotted Relena's body tied in a chair. He ran over to her followed by Duo and Hilde. "Don't it's a trap!" Relena yelled, but it was too late. The door closed. "Hurry! There's a bomb!" Relena yelled. Their eyes widened. "What?! Where?!" Duo asked frantically. "In that iron box over there! It's blow up the entire carnival!" Relena yelled. Heero ran to the iron box and tried his claws. They made scratches and a few dents but it was useless. "Step aside!" Hilde said. She spread her hands apart and flew some fireworks at the box, a few more dents nothing big. "What'll we do?!" Hilde asked in panic. "We need to get out now and make an announcement across the park fro everyone to leave. It's our only chance." Heero said. "We don't even know when it goes off!" Duo said. "This is all we can do!" Heero answered in frustration. "Hurry! Catherine is in the closet!" Relena yelled. Heero ran to the closet and slashed the lock off. He flung the door open and Catherine felt out her wound untreated. "Mr. Yuy...." Catherine said weakly and he nodded. "Untie Relena! Now!" Heero ordered and Duo cut her ropes with a pocketknife. "What's happening?" Catherine asked weakly. "There's not time to explain! A bomb is about to go off!" Duo said. "What?! Where?!" Catherine said trying to sit up in Heero's arms. "In that iron box over there! Now let's go!" Duo said. "Wait!" Catherine said as they turned to leave. "What is it?! We don't have time for this!" Heero said. "Let em try to disarm it!" Catherine said firmly. "What?! You're too weak!" Duo answered. Heero put Catherine down. "We have to try." He said. Catherine ran to the box and poked her head through. "It's got a minute left!" she yelled pulling back. "What does it look like?!" Heero yelled. She put her head back through. "It's got blue and red wires coming out the sides, a timer in the middle, tape holding something around it, and it's black with a bunch of weird stuff!" she answered pulling back. " Hurry cut they blue wire first!" Heero said. "With what?!" she asked. Heero looked around in panic. "Forget this!" she yelled and stuck her hand through. She ripped something out and threw it to Duo. "Hurry teleport and throw it high into the sky!" she yelled and threw it to him. Duo teleported on touch. He teleported far above the carnival and threw it as far as he could. It exploded and Duo was blown downward to the ground below. Someone suddenly caught him. "Quatre buddy! I missed ya!" Duo said and Quatre smiled.
"She'll be fine for now. But her wound is infected since it was left untreated and she was kept in a dirty place." Zechs informed Trowa and he nodded. " We still don't know who did it." Trowa said. "I think we have a pretty good idea." Zechs replied looking at a picture of him as child with another boy.
A.N. thanks for your reviews and sympathy, and I don't mean to be mean it's just people have been sending reviews to not just this story but all my others stories with the same complaint and it's driving me insane.

Trowa entered his sister's room next door. "Cathy why aren't you up cook-?" he looked around, the room was empty. He shrugged and walked out. The sound of the coffee cup breaking on the hard ground echoed in the house. "Trowa?' Misty asked concerned as she walked around the corner. "What's wro-!" she stopped dead and gave an ear-piercing scream.
"Trowa's inconsolable." Zechs informed the other team members. Trowa just sat in the corner numbly repeating "her blood". "What exactly did they write on the wall using her blood?" Hilde asked.

Quatre and Wufei sat down as the lights dimmed for the magic show. "Welcome ladies and gentlemen." The voice began.
Duo grinned as his bumper car rammed everyone's in site.
Misty hopped onto a horse for the Merry Go 'Round. "Settle up cowboy!" she said patting the horse next to her. Trowa grumbled and got on.
"You didn't want to come for help you wanted to just play." Relena said. "I only want to go on the water slide once! Besides, it's so tall we get a big view of the park." Hilde replied innocently.
Heero looked around as crowds of people wandered the park.
"Are you sure Mr. Treize?" Lady Une said and he nodded. "This is a very delicate process and if something goes wrong it might cause permanent brain damage. You'd be the first mutant to test it on." Dorothy said. "That's fiend by me. Nothing can ever be achieved without risks.' Treize said sitting in a seat. Une hesitantly placed the metal cap on his head. "The process for transferring DNA of one person to the next is very vulnerable so I need you to relax and breath." Dorothy instructed.

Relena walked to the Ferris Wheel and got on. She sat there staring out as hot tears came down her face. She didn't care, she just let them run and ignored them. Her body was numb from the cold. The Ferris Wheel stopped with her at the top. She looked down and saw Heero, Duo, and Hilde. Suddenly the Ferris Wheel gave a violent shake.
"The metal is being controlled by Treize somewhere but I can't figure out where!" Heero said looking around. Another violent sound came. "Heero! The Ferris Wheel is about to collapse!" Duo yelled in panic. "Duo1 Hurry and teleport up there!" Hilde said. "I can't! I can only teleport to where I've already been!" Duo replied in fear. Heero ran forward. He forced out his metal claws and began to climb the Ferris Wheel. Relena looked over Suddenly Heero stopped dead. He cried out in pain. "He's made out of metal too!" Duo yelled slapping his head. "This is bad! Come on!" he said to Hilde. He turned and ran.
Relena looked out as Heero tried to keep hold on the Ferris Wheel. "Heero!" she yelled. Suddenly another shake hit hard. Relena was forced out of the Ferris Wheel and fell downward. Her leg hit a part of it causing a painful crack. Relena grabbed onto another piece desperately. She pushed herself up and onto that piece. She laid there holding her leg painfully. Heero gave a harsh cry and lost his grip on the Ferris Wheel. Suddenly he was caught in air by someone. "Quatre?" Relena whispered in awe as she saw him framed with angelic wings. Then, the Ferris Wheel gave a violent lurch harder than the other and the Ferris Wheel began to tip. Relena grabbed hold to the Ferris Wheel as it tipped all the way. She screamed along with the many other screams of fear. It was ready to hit ground but suddenly it froze. "Hurry1 get them out!" Trowa yelled. The employees and nearby witnesses ran to the Ferris Wheel breaking open the doors and helping people out. The Ferris Wheel landed gently on the ground. 'All these people saw Heero sue his powers!" Duo said. Trowa looked over at Misty. "Do you have enough energy left to erase their memories?" Trowa asked concerned and she looked down. "I'll try." She said and closed her eyes. The people around them froze, like time had been stopped. Relena limped over to where they were. "This is great! We are so dead!" Hilde said noticing Relena wound. "Her leg is broken and a bit bloody." Quatre said examining it. Heero kneeled by Relena and grabbed her hand. She looked up confused as he removed it. "Touch me." he said. "What?! I could kill you!" Relena said looking at him like he was insane. "Then don't. Just touch me long enough to get some of my healing powers.' He said. Relena looked at him. "But you'll be left pretty weak for a while and you're our leader!" she argued. "Just do it." He ordered. Hesitantly she reached a hand up and touched his face. Slowly her wound healed. She could feel her bone reattaching which seemed grouse. Heero didn't look well at all. He looked like he was aging, his skin got a greenish tint where she touched him and his body got a weird look like it had scales on it. Heero was frozen in pain and shock. Relena pulled away forcefully. Heero fell to the ground at the time that people resumed walking suddenly. Misty stood there weakly for a moment when her eyes rolled back and she fell unconscious into Trowa's arms.
"Are you alright? We should have brought Sally." Wufei said examining Heero as he sat on the ground near the entrance with everybody else. "A lot of people left." Hilde mused. "They said that the Ferris Wheel collapsed due to technical difficulties so people think the entire park is now unsafe and have left." Quatre explained. "But there are still people walking around so we need to be careful with out powers." Trowa said. "One things for sure. If Treize is here chances are so is Cathy." He added looking down. "But where? This place is huge!" Hilde commented. "We'll split up into two people and look. Trowa, is Misty coming around?" Heero asked looking up. "She's fine. I saw her stir a little while ago so it shouldn't be long now. I'll stay here until she wakes up and then we'll go look." Trowa answered and Heero nodded. "Quatre, you and Wufei can go. Hilde and Duo don't get sidetracked. I'll take Relena since they seem to have some knack for wanting her dead." Heero instructed. "But you're still kind weak. You might not be able to protect her by yourself. Hilde and I will go with you." Duo said. Heero opened his mouth to refuse " It's decided." Trowa said calmly.
Relena entered the Magic Show. "Wufei and Quatre said something strange was happening here." Heero said. "But didn't they already investigate it?" Duo asked. "Ya but they said when they went back stage and interrogated the worker they were thrown out. They thought we should check here while they looked elsewhere." Heero answered taking a seat.
Trowa sat on the bench next to Misty's resting body. She stirred some and blonde curls spilled down her shoulder. Her eyes slowly opened revealing an emerald spark to it. "Trowa...." she whispered tiredly. "Ya, I'm here." He said as she sat up. "Trowa, I saw where Catherine was."
"Now, I will do a very famous trick you may see at many magic shows, my disappearing trick. I will select someone form the audience to come in here. I will put you inside this coffin and you will disappear. When I say the magic word, you will reappear." The magician announced. A spotlight twirled around the room and landed on Relena, the room filled with applause as Relena looked around fearfully. "You there, why don't you come up here." The magician said. Relena stirred in her seat nervously. "This could be trap!" Heero whispered to the other. "What do you we do?" Duo asked. "Relena say no!" Heero answered but when he looked she was already gone. Heero gritted his teeth. "What is she thinking?!" he said angrily. "Is it me or is Relena walking like she's in a daze." Duo said looking at her. "Well she was walking kind of strangely but you can hardly notice." Hilde said. Relena crept into the coffin. The magician closed the coffin and waved his wand. He talked to the audience some and then opened the coffin, nothing was there. He closed the coffin and whispered a few magic words for her reappearance then opened the coffin again. "She's gone! I knew this was trap!" Heero said and stood up angrily. The magician looked at the coffin in shock and closed it again retrying the trick. It made no difference. "This is bad." Duo said. The show ended after one more trick while Heero looked, smelled, and listened for anything. "They just dismissed her disappearance saying she would appear back in an hour. How lame." Hilde muttered. Heero got up immediately and ran past them. Heero ran down the stairs and grabbed the magician by the collar. "Where is she?!" Heero asked in a deadly voice. "I-I don't know!" the magician answered fearfully. Heero threw him down. "Fine then I'll look.' He said and walked past him. "I'm sorry sir but you are not authorized, security will handle this!" the magician yelled. "Right, well I'll be seeing you in court." Heero said back. A fearful look came over the magician's face. "Fine then, look!" he said and Heero smirked.
Heero walked down to the basement. He spotted Relena's body tied in a chair. He ran over to her followed by Duo and Hilde. "Don't it's a trap!" Relena yelled, but it was too late. The door closed. "Hurry! There's a bomb!" Relena yelled. Their eyes widened. "What?! Where?!" Duo asked frantically. "In that iron box over there! It's blow up the entire carnival!" Relena yelled. Heero ran to the iron box and tried his claws. They made scratches and a few dents but it was useless. "Step aside!" Hilde said. She spread her hands apart and flew some fireworks at the box, a few more dents nothing big. "What'll we do?!" Hilde asked in panic. "We need to get out now and make an announcement across the park fro everyone to leave. It's our only chance." Heero said. "We don't even know when it goes off!" Duo said. "This is all we can do!" Heero answered in frustration. "Hurry! Catherine is in the closet!" Relena yelled. Heero ran to the closet and slashed the lock off. He flung the door open and Catherine felt out her wound untreated. "Mr. Yuy...." Catherine said weakly and he nodded. "Untie Relena! Now!" Heero ordered and Duo cut her ropes with a pocketknife. "What's happening?" Catherine asked weakly. "There's not time to explain! A bomb is about to go off!" Duo said. "What?! Where?!" Catherine said trying to sit up in Heero's arms. "In that iron box over there! Now let's go!" Duo said. "Wait!" Catherine said as they turned to leave. "What is it?! We don't have time for this!" Heero said. "Let em try to disarm it!" Catherine said firmly. "What?! You're too weak!" Duo answered. Heero put Catherine down. "We have to try." He said. Catherine ran to the box and poked her head through. "It's got a minute left!" she yelled pulling back. "What does it look like?!" Heero yelled. She put her head back through. "It's got blue and red wires coming out the sides, a timer in the middle, tape holding something around it, and it's black with a bunch of weird stuff!" she answered pulling back. " Hurry cut they blue wire first!" Heero said. "With what?!" she asked. Heero looked around in panic. "Forget this!" she yelled and stuck her hand through. She ripped something out and threw it to Duo. "Hurry teleport and throw it high into the sky!" she yelled and threw it to him. Duo teleported on touch. He teleported far above the carnival and threw it as far as he could. It exploded and Duo was blown downward to the ground below. Someone suddenly caught him. "Quatre buddy! I missed ya!" Duo said and Quatre smiled.
"She'll be fine for now. But her wound is infected since it was left untreated and she was kept in a dirty place." Zechs informed Trowa and he nodded. " We still don't know who did it." Trowa said. "I think we have a pretty good idea." Zechs replied looking at a picture of him as child with another boy.
