Secret Passions
Chapter 9
Enter Duo
"Hmm.., what I know, where to start? I guess you want to hear it from the beginning?" Dep Maxwell thought aloud.
"Yes" Said a cold Heero
"Well, I guess this all started on L2. I was visiting my daughter; she had just had a baby, a little boy. Well, when I got there, an organization had taken him." -"BUZZ"- Mr. Maxwell, he is here to see you, would you like me to send him up?" "Yes Greta, please have him come up."
"Sorry, back to what I was saying. Apparently, she had been part of an experiment, but never told they would take her child away. They were in a since, breeding humans for the best traits. Preparing perfect soldiers, much like you. I had contacts that let me know how my grandson was doing. By age 6 he still hadn't responded to training or punishment. They were ready to terminate his training. He was just too happy, carefree, and very undisciplined. Though, they decided to try one last thing. They gave him a low risk mission as a test of sorts. I really don't know much about what it was."
"You haven't answered anything." Heero said standing up, pounding his hands down on the desk in frustration. Knowing that the 'mission' had something to do with his assignment, he realized duo was part of that mission. "Why did the letter have your name in it? What is your connection to all of this?"
"Be patient. I realized that someone should know about the sixth pilot, my grandson. So I went over my options." Dep had become much more serious. "I sent the letter to Drixel because, I felt Quatre and Trowa would get involved and Wufei would ignore it. Drixel was my best bet of doing what I asked. I sent the letter to her at the beginning of the war." Suddenly realizing Heero might like to see the original, "Would you like to letter?" He typed something in on his computer and turned the screen to Heero.
Katrina Drixel,
Hello, you do not know me, and I will stay nameless, but I know something of great importance. As of now, you think there are five gundams and five gundam pilots, wrong. My grandson was one: his training was terminated for being undisciplined and to carefree. As you know all to well, those are not traits of a pilot, as you know. Though, during this war with OZ, I fear you may need more help. I will not give his name, but mine in a simple cod, so anyone who happens to see this will not know my name without a copy of the cod attached. I ask you not to translate it. What you do not know, you cannot tell. Write Heero a letter, explaining about the gundam. Attach the code, and set it to be sent in the event of the self destruction of your gundam. If it comes to that, you truly need help. He is not the 'ideal' pilot, but, none the less, he was trained. Attached is the code.
A friend
"So you wanted me to come to you. That's why your name is there. Then who is the sixth gundam. Is it..." 'Could it be really Duo, they look alike. It's possible.' "Is it Duo?" he asked, excited at the possibility though he didn't let it show.
"Why don't you ask him yourself" a door opened behind Heero, but he didn't move, almost afraid to see who it was.
In walked and angel, or as close as humanly possible. Long chestnut hair, tied back into a braid, violet eyes, breath taking. Blue jeans and a t- shirt slightly snug, just clinging enough to see his slender shape and a smug smile on his face. "Hi-ya Gramps. I need to talk to you in private, could you excuse us please?" He had thought it was Heero Yuy at first, but why would Heero be in America? If it wasn't for the letter, neither would he. Of course, maybe it is him, may be he already figured it out.
"He can stay; I think I know what you want to talk about" Dep told Duo in a serious manner.
Heero turned around slowly, the voice, which of an angel, is angel, his since he was six spoke. Their eyes met, emotions were flooding through both. Love, Hatred, delight, misery, lust and want and so much more. But Heero thought of Relena, and turned around again, all emotion vacant.
"Old man, this is your grandson, the pilot? I need to know why his training was terminated, the exact events that lead to it. Why his gundam is still in existence. And if he or you know anything about Zechs. I'm tired of this goose chase."
"Heero, what are you doing here?" Duo asked, slightly frightened Heero would shoot him. He seemed pretty angry. He also knew full well what he was doing here.
"Duo" Heero said almost longingly. He remembered his mission, the one that had gone on from the age of 6 to 8 years old. Then until he was 13 secretly. The failure, the punishment that had broken him. He remembered it all, Relena, Drixel, About Wufei actually crying. Then the longing was gone, any inkling of love was gone because he had caused so much pain already, and how could he have feelings for anyone, especially Duo? "Tell me, Duo, tell me about the mission. The one that involved me, from the time we were six."
Duo looked to his grandfather for reassurance. His world was beginning to collapsing, he hadn't known that Heero knew he was on a mission. He realized he was part of Heeros misson. That's all he was.
"Well, when I was six, they were ready to end my training. I wouldn't listen, but they decided to try one last thing. A real mission. Get close to someone, become his friend, gain his trust, learn information.
"You are to get close to this boy. This is your last chance to show you can be a pilot. His name is Heero Yuy and he lives on colony L1. **** ****
"Hmm.., what I know, where to start? I guess you want to hear it from the beginning?" Dep Maxwell thought aloud.
