Many Faces
Chapter 3
When he got back Catherine was sitting across from Heero, but Trowa could tell it wasn't really Heero, because he had a dazzling smile spread on his face. "Hello, Trowa, this is John.", Catherine introduced the latest personality.
"Hi.", Trowa greeted, glancing over at the other's reactions.
"I'm Duo Maxwell.", Duo said, shaking hands.
"I know, I was there when Heero met you all.", John replied.
"Oh, yes of course you were.", Duo said, looking a bit nervous.
"I'd love to draw you sometime, you look so different from most men your age.", John stated.
"Draw him?", Quatre asked, sitting down.
"I'm an artist in spare time, I'd be able to show you my drawings. If of course, Heero wouldn't throw them away every time I left. I believe he's scared.", John finished.
"Of what?", Catherine asked.
"Of not remembering while I was there. The voids in his memory.", John explained, "Of course, he hasn't told anyone else about them, he doesn't want to sound crazy or anything.",
"Understandable.", Quatre remarked.
"Of course, my life was nothing like his. I had a happy little family, one wealthy parent, one poor, but they still loved each other the same. Guess you could say I am the middle class of my family.", John chuckled at his joke, "Lived on a farm for a few years, then, then.... Both died in an accident.",
"Ah.", Duo replied.
The smile faded quickly, and was replaced with the whimpers of Peter, who quickly hugged onto Trowa and stared, trembling at Duo and Quatre. "Peter?", Trowa remarked simply.
"Peter, oh, I see this personality is just a kid.", Duo remarked, "It's alright, we're Hee- chan's friends, I'm Duo, and that's Quatre.",
Peter glared up at Duo, before coming out, and looking up at him critically. "It's okay, kiddo, I won't hurt you.", Duo assured, "I promise not to hurt you.",
"Yeah, I won't hurt you either.", Quatre said, "I know, what do you like to do?",
"I like to play video games.", Peter replied, shyly.
"Me too, especially VR Zelda!", Duo exclaimed smiling, "Do you like that game?",
"Uh- huh, the weight of the sword is amazing, and I like the new graphics too.", Peter said, now excited at talking with Duo about the game.
Quatre smiled, but looked confused at the mentioning of zombie villagers, and such, before turning to Trowa to see how he was reacting to the sudden change in Peter's mood. "I think we can leave these two alone to discuss the plots, and sub- plots of video games.", Quatre replied.
"Yeah, I think we can.", Trowa replied with a nod of his head.
End Chapter: Next Chapter, it was Heero who really self destructed or was it?
