Double Take Another Gundam?
Disclaimer: don't own it just writing about it.
N/A: I would like to dedicate this chapter to my friend Sam (aka. Queen Nepherenia) who has waited so very impatiently for this chapter and who I have taunted with the vague details to come. So here it is. FINALLY.
Chapter Three
Morrigan lay in the bed, wide-awake. She could hear the soft breathing of the now sleeping Duo, across the room. She looked at the clock on the table beside her. It was four o'clock in the morning. Unable to sleep any longer Morrigan quietly got out of bed and looked around the room. She saw Duo on his bed, his long brown braid hanging over the side, and his cobalt blue eyes; the same eyes she had gazed into the day before were peacefully closed. Morrigan looked at him and a smile, well an almost smile came to her face, then it disappeared as quickly as it came when she spotted a drawer. She walked closer to the drawer and opened it. Inside were a book, a gun, and… half a photograph. Morrigan picked up the photo and stared at it. It was a picture of a young woman with pale blue eyes, and long brown hair. She was wearing a blue dress, and had a little boy beside her. He was maybe five or six and had messy chocolate brown hair, and bright blue eyes. *I've seen this somewhere before* she thought but was interrupted when she heard a noise coming from outside the bedroom.
She quickly placed the photo back into the drawer and went to the door, to see what the noise was. She opened the door and what met her were two Prussian blue eyes like her own.
"Good morning Heero." She said trying to sound like she had just woke up
Heero just glared at her, and walked into the room, watching as she walked out.
Morrigan grabbed her clothes and went into the bathroom to change. She came out maybe ten minutes later, with her uniform on and her hair done up in the same ponytail as yesterday, to see Heero sitting on the couch waiting for her. When he saw her come out he stood up.
" Heero" she said quite formally.
He nodded and headed for the kitchen. Morrigan sat down and began to scribble something on a piece of paper she found on the table. As she wrote she could smell toast, bacon and eggs.
*So he can cook to. Interesting. * She thought to herself as she finished up the note.
A while later she walked into the kitchen and handed Heero the note.
"Please give this to Duo when he wakes up. "
Heero took the note and continued cooking, as Morrigan walked out the door.
A couple hours later Duo walked out of his room and looked around, he saw Heero on the couch watching TV, but there was no sign of Morrigan.
"She left this for you." Said Heero lifting the note into the air, not even looking back at Duo.
Duo walked over and grabbed the note. He opened it up and began to read.
Duo,
Meet me at the library near the warehouse,
and bring all your info for the project.
3:00 pm
Don't be late.
Morrigan.
Duo scratched his head for a bit and looked at the clock, it was one o'clock. He quickly got dressed and started to make breakfast for himself.
"Hey buddy, I'm going out for a while, if anyone calls take a message." Said Duo while stuffing a spoon full of cereal into his mouth.
Heero just nodded and walked into his room.
***
Heero lay on his bed, half conscious, staring at the ceiling. All he could think about was Morrigan, *why do I feel this way? I feel like I know her from somewhere. But where? *
Then he noticed something. The drawer next to his bed was somewhat open. He opened it completely and looked inside. Someone had gone threw his stuff. He picked up the picture that had once been at the bottom of the drawer, forgotten, and examined it. Then a new thought came to his mind.
***{FLASH BACK}***
"We have to get out of here!!!" said a panicking woman, with long brown hair and pale blue eyes. Her face was covered in ash as she held a young boy close to her.
"Mama what's going on? Where's papa and my sister?" said a scared little boy in tears.
"They're gone now my son. We have to forget about them now." Said the woman as she picked the boy up and kept running. Away from what was once the family home. The woman glanced back to see the house burning, and a man chasing after them.
A gunshot could be heard and the woman and the boy went down. A pool of blood surrounded the woman, and the boy could be seen shaking his fallen mother.
"Mama? Mama? Why aren't you getting up mama?" he cried then realized someone had picked him up, and was running farther away from his mother.
"MAMA!!!" he shrieked, but a hand covered by a cloth muffled it. He could feel himself drifting into unconsciousness, and the world went black.
***{END OF FLASH BACK}***
The man who had taken him was his father Odin Lowe. He had never been the father that Heero needed but he had taught him how to block out all emotion, especially things like guilt and love, he was and assassin, the one who had killed his mother, and maybe even the rest of his family. Heero would never forgive him for that, he was Odin Lowe Jr. this was until Dr. J came and took him saying that he was the perfect soldier, and renamed him Heero Yuy.
Heero sat there in front of the drawer just staring at the photo. The little boy had a wide grin on his face. Heero couldn't remember ever smiling after that. He got up and went back to his bed where he fell into a dreamless sleep.

Morrigan was at home in front of a vanity looking at herself. She glanced over at the clock. 2:30. She sighed as she got up. She had changed into a pair of jeans, a white t-shirt, and a light blue sweater. All she could think about was the picture she had found in Heero's drawer. She opened her own and pulled out a picture that had also been torn in half. In the picture was a young girl, maybe four of five, with long brown hair in pigtails, and bright blue eyes. She was smiling as she held the hand of a man with short brown hair and dark blue eyes. A tear came to her eyes but she brushed it away when she heard someone enter the room. She placed the photo back into the drawer, and felt two hands slide down her shoulders.
"Looking at that picture again, I see?" said a young man
Morrigan didn't respond, and continued looking into the mirror.
"You look very nice, going to meet the gundam pilot, again?" he said as his hands went down her arms.
"Everything is going according to plan." Said Morrigan as she got up to leave.
The man grabbed her and kissed her, and when he finally let her go he said, "have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do"
Morrigan ignored him and walked out the door to meet Duo.
A/N: ok so there's chapter 3 done. I had a bit of writer's block, so if it sucks oh well that's your problem, because I like it. Oh and by the way Odin Lowe Jr. is Heero's actual name, I was researching it online, but don't you prefer Heero? And the part about his father being an assassin is true too. He is supposedly the one who killed the original Heero Yuy. So that's about it, review my story.
