CHAPTER 2

Rick's jeep is a piece of crap. It's slow and eats up most of his money. So it took us over two hours to get to the hospital with no music!When we got there it was chaos, plus I swore I heard gun shots when Rick and I walked into the hospital.

"What the crap," Rick yelled over the commotion.

"Got me,"I yelled back as another gunshot went off.

"Where is he,"I heard someone yell. Another shot sounded and Rick and I ducked behind a couch. I peaked out in time to see two men walking backwards with guns drawn. One had black hair pulled into a small ponytail and the other man was taller with a blue/green turtleneck on.

"Shit,"I whispered.

"Took the words right outta my mouth,"Rick said not too quietly. The man with the ponytail turned around. I ducked down quickly,but he saw me and Rick.

"You there! Stand now. Hands raised," Ponytail boy yelled. I glanced at Rick and sighed. Slowly we raised our hands and stood.

"Hey I'm sorry. I didn't mean to barge into the middle of your fun,"I said shrugging.

"Duo,"Ponytail boy whispered.

"Sorry man. My name is Mitchel. Mitch for short,"I said.

"Stop playing Duo. Thats not funny,"Turtleneck boy said tossing me a gun.

"Wha. . . ," I asked holding the gun as little as I could.

"Trowa, Wufei. . . Thats not Duo, leave him be," A blond boy with aqua blue eyes said appearing behind turtleneck boy.

"But how can he NOT be? He looks just like him. Heero will agree," Ponytail boy said. As soon as the name Heero sounded in my ears I found myself slipping back into that blur.

**FlashBack**

"Heero Please disarm those missiles."

"Mission Accepted."

"Heero . . . So thats his name."

"If Heero can't disarm those missiles then say goodbye."

//I want to say Hello.//

**END FlashBack**

"Mitch? Not again. Wake up," Rick yelled slapping me in the face.

"I'm up . . . Did I do it again,"I asked sitting up.

"Yes, are you alright,"Rick asked.

"Yeah Yeah. I'm fine,"I said pushing myself up to my feet.

"Is he alright," I heard someone ask. I turned my head to see the blond boy sitting in a chair near me.

"I'm fine," I answered.

"Thats good," Blondie smiled. "I'm sorry about earlier. My friends don't like waking up in strange places. We had to tranquilize Heero, but he'll be ok,"Blondie explained.

"It's alright. Just like at home,"I laughed.

"Oh excuse my rudeness. My name is Quatre. This is Trowa(turtleneck boy) and thats Wufei(ponytail boy),"Quatre introduced.

"Nice to meet y'all. I'm Mitch Williams,"I smiled.

"I'm Rick Dobson," Rick introduced.

"Nice to meet you,"Quatre smiled.

"So what's up with this Heero guy,"I asked.

"Well he's just disoriented and his companion Duo Maxwell, which you look identical too, is missing," Quatre said smile faltering a tad.

"Wish I could help," I said.

"Thanks, but all we can do is wait until Heero calms down enough to talk to," Quatre smiled. I nodded in agreement.

"He should be awake in a few minutes, but he won't be shooting everything in sight,"Trowa said.

"Why? Do you have him strapped down to the bed," Rick joked.

"Yes," Trowa answered.

"Good darn," I said.

"It was necessary," Wufei replied.

"We should go back in the room, better if he wakes to familiar faces then no one," Quatre said standing.

"Come with us Duo . . . I mean Mitch," Trowa said grabbing my elbow.

"Mitch, looks like you have your hands full so I'm going back to my apartment. Come by when you get home," Rick said walking out the hospital doors.

"Some friend you are," I yelled at him following Trowa into a back room. I saw no doctors, nurses or patients. //I guess they evacuated the hospital// I thought going round a corner. Trowa grabbed my elbow and pulled me into a room. The lights were on and I saw a boy around my age strapped down on a hospital bed. He was wearing black spandex shorts and a loose fitting green tank top.

"So this is Heero," I asked stepping up to the side of the bed.

"Yes," Wufei answered.

"From what I can see . . . He's hot," I said and suddenlt slapped my hand over my mouth. //Whoops.// I thought. Did I fail to mention I speak my mind?

"Don't be embarrassed," Quatre smiled.

"You aren't afraid of a gay guy," I snorted.

"No, with the exception of Wufei here, we're all gay,"Quatre giggled.

"Well imagine that" I laughed then suddenly stopped when a moan by my side indicated Heero was waking up. The others heard it too so while they crowded around him I sat in a chair by the door. At least over here I won't be noticed because the light had been shot out.

"Duo?...Quatre where is he," I heard a faint question.

"He's not here Heero but we . . . " Quatre said then leaned down and whispered something in Heero's ear and I could of sworn I heard "double over there" but I'm not sure. "Mitch come here please," Quatre said looking at me.

"Alright," I replied standing up and walking over to Quatre. Trowa moved away from Quatre and I took his place and stood at the head of the bed. A pair of unreal cobalt blue eyes looked up at me.

"Quatre. He does look like Duo, but Duo didn't have green eyes," Heero said turning to look at Quatre.

"Actually . . . I wear contacts to keep people from staring at my eyes," I admitted.

"Show me," Heero ordered.

"Alright," I said removing one contact.

"Incredible! He looks just like Maxwell," Wufei exclaimed.

"Take the other out," Heero ordered. I sighed and did as told. I pulled my contact case out of my pocket and put them in it and put the case back in my pocket.

"Happy,"I asked sharply. They were all staring at me and it made me nervous.

"Sorry for making you uneasy,"Quatre apologized.

"S'alright, I just don't like it when people stare at me," I said rubbing my arm.

"Let me up," Heero said struggling against the straps.

"I don't have a key," Trowa said looking around for one.

"I have a knife," I said kneeling down to pull it from my boot.

"Hand it here and I"ll cut the straps,"Heero said. I looked up and saw Heero's hand in my face. I blinked at it and saw blood dripping off it. I blinked again and it was gone. //Weird// I thought handing Heero my knife. Heero examined it for a few seconds before slicing himself free. "Thanks," Heero said handing my knife back.

"Any time man," I smiled and winked at him,tucking my knife back in my boot.

"We need to get out of here," Trowa said.

"Y'all can come with me. I have an over sized apartment. It'll hold five guys," I offered.

"Thank you,"Quatre smiled.

"We'll have to walk,but it's not far. Just follow me," I said walking out of the hospital room. //Heero?Why does that sound so familiar? Do I know him? Why did I see blood on his hand back there? Am I going crazy? Why did they insist on seeing my eyes? Should I trust these guys? My gut tells me I should. Why does Heero sound so familiar and why does the name Duo feel right? Is it MY name? My adopted parents never said anything about my real name. Computer research here I come.//
