Chapter Seven: A Tough Decision
"How is she Howard?" asked Quatre.
"She will be all right after a good nights rest. I just hope you don't get anymore missions any time soon."
"Is she really that bad?" asked Trowa.
"Not really, but it seems she has had a wound on her back that has re-opened and may not heal for a while. Did any of you know about it?"
They all looked around. They all said no, even though both Heero and Wu-Fei had known about it they still said no. They knew that if they said yes they would be in for it from the others for not saying anything.

Anna woke up around Midnight. She sat up in her bed and felt a sudden surge of pain run through her body. She felt the pain in her back and realized the wound was open again.
"Damn it! I knew I should have taken it easier."
She got out of bed and went to her laptop.
"J are you there? J Come in."
"J here Anna is that you? I expected to hear from you much sooner than this."
"J calm down I am reporting now aren't I?"
"Yes go on."
"Ok. We completed the mission, the last thing I remember is being shot in the back and the guys taking care of the last suit. Then I passed out I guess."
"You passed out? Are you ok? What happened?"
"Yes, Yes, and I am not sure. But I do know one thing. The dream J, it came true. Well sort of. It was this mission. The same things happened at first, but I realized it in time and told the guys to move, so it didn't happen like it was supposed to. I told you I wouldn't let them die. Plus I know who the enemy wants."
"Who?"
"Me. I have a feeling they remember me from the attack on the lab. I knew I shouldn't have piloted Zero on level 12 that day. It was too soon. Damn it J I have endangered everyone."
"Anna all you did that day was to protect those you loved, and all we had worked for. It is all you ever do."
"Some great job I did. All the upgraded gundams were destroyed."
"Yes but you survived, as did all of us. Please don't worry."
"All right J I won't worry. But I have made a decision. I am leaving. I need to get as far away from my brother and the guys before the enemy finds me and they get hurt in the middle of this."
"If that is what you want then do it. But stay in touch with me ok."
"All right. Anna out."
And the screen went blank.
"Anna..."
Anna spun around on her heels to see Howard standing behind her.
"Howard..."
"Don't worry Anna I am not going to stop you but I want to ask you something."
"Yes Howard," said Anna while beginning to pack.
"How come on these last few missions you have been getting hurt? I mean I know you can pilot Zero at much more than level two. So why don't you when you need to?"
"I don't know what you mean."
"You can't fool me Anna, I have been working on Zero for a while now and I have noticed the flight history. Before you arrived here you piloted at level twelve."
"Howard, please don't tell the guys what you know."
"I won't but please tell me why?"
"In a word Heero."
"??????"
"Ever since I met the scientists and began training I wanted to be as good as Heero, but it turned out that I surpassed him. The Perfect Solider. Sure I was happy but I promised that when I finally met up with the guys I wouldn't waltz in here and take his title. So I pilot Zero at the level below Heero pilots Epion. Then as time went on I fell in love with him. And so in order for him to like me I thought I had to stay below him in my skill. So I did. I would never ruin his pride by surpassing him in battle. Even if my life is on the line."
"But..."
"You wouldn't understand Howard. Even as it is it didn't work, I told him how I felt two days ago and he just shrugged me off."
Anna broke down crying again. She hated all of this. Just as she finds her brother, Her true love, some friends she has to leave them.
"It doesn't matter now anyway. I have to leave before I hurt them. So that is what I will do."
"He ignored you?" Howard was still on the fact that Heero had blown her off.
"Yes he said I would be a distraction. Anyway Howard I must leave now. Before they wake up. Could you get zero ready? I have to leave them something before I leave."
"Sure Anna."
