Akina's Notes: Ugh, sorry this took so long. The Orange Bowl was a week ago, but while I was there, I got sick and didn't really feel like writing anything until now. Well, anyway, thanks so much for all the reviews I've gotten! Please read and then review! J
You Remind Me
Chapter 5: Thoughts and Words
Darkness. Blessed darkness filling every corner of his mind. That was how it had been for quite a while now, but a small bit of awareness was beginning to surface and now that awareness was growing. It was growing into something akin to consciousness. In fact, it was a little to damn close. Slowly, the dark world grew into something more than just black images. Now, there was an added sense and it made sounds understandable. God, why did he have to wake up now? Why wouldn't his ears just stop working?
"Heero," rang a voice over again and again in Heero's ears. It hurt so bad to listen, yet it was impossible to ignore that voice.
Carefully, Heero opened his eyes. That was a mistake, the light was blinding. Raising an arm to shield his eyes had been a mistake too. Searing fire raced down his arm. A soft moan of pain managed to escape his lips, his training from Dr. J kicking in to prevent further revealing of his weakness. At least the pain brought reality back to him slightly.
"Sorry about that, I gave you drugs to help ease the pain, but if you move it like that then your gonna feel it."
Dr. J never gave out drugs to his soldiers… What was going on? The few remaining moments before he lost consciousness came back to Heero in a few seconds. He wondered at his passing out since he had sustained far worse injuries and never even came close to passing out. The memory of a sword stabbing him in the leg then progressing to slash across his torso played agonizingly though his mind.
"The bullet was infused with a tranquilizer to make your capture easier. Sorry again, but all of this was necessary." Heero opened his eyes to look upon the speaker. It was the blonde chick with the gun, the very one that shot him. Immediately starting his perfect soldier routine, Heero worked his magic death glare that seemed to intimidate thousands.
"Stare all you like, sweetheart, it's not going to work on me. See, the threat kind of goes away when the glarer has all but an injured arm locked to a medical table," said the blonde with a small smirk. Her response just made Heero glare even more furiously. "Hey, watch where you're pointing that glare buddy, if you try any harder I might burst into flames." The girl then chuckled at her own joke.
Having failed at trying to accomplish something from glaring at the girl, Heero turned his murderous stare to the small counter that had a small green potted plant on it. Who knew, maybe that would burst into flames. His silent joke caused Heero to chuckle inwardly.
"Just in case you're wondering, Rei is fine. We have her in a medical room a few rooms down. Your boss sure did come close to killing her, he obviously had no idea what he was dealing with," the serious tone of the girl's voice and Rei's name caught Heero's attention. He turned his gaze towards her to show that he was listening, hoping she would go on. "I see I have your attention now, well I'll try to explain a little bit, but I can't tell you exactly what I mean since we have no idea where your loyalties stand.
"What Dr. J failed to see is that Rei is no ordinary human being, she has some powers that even she isn't aware of. In her wanting to defy him, Rei's powers set to work sending a signal out to those who know how to track these things while wasting all the fuel her body had. Not a good thing when someone is starving you like Dr. J was starving her."
"Right, super powers, and do you know how to track these 'signals' that Rei was sending?" Heero let his curiosity get the best of him and broke his perfect soldier cast.
"I can't really explain anymore to you, I probably said too much already. You don't have to believe me anyway. In the long run that might actually be a good thing."
Heero gave a skeptical snort then resumed his emotionless façade. He too had let his guard fall too low and gave away too much about himself. The perfect soldier routine wouldn't keep him safe from annoying questions now that he had spoken that one sentence. He should be more careful unless he wanted to say something that could earn him a punishment from Dr. J.
"Well, I have work to do so I'll just leave you to your self. Oh, but don't worry, I'll be back to make sure you haven't tried anything dumb."
