Chapter 4: Thoughts
Heero walked out of the hospital and into the sunshine. The sun felt hot on his back but at the same time it felt good. To be out of the cold hospital, Heero gladly invited the sun. He needed to clear his thoughts. Too much had happened for him to handle. When Relena looked at him, her eyes they were so blank and empty Heero could get lost in them. After awhile Heero couldn't take it anymore, so he left the room and the hospital.
How could Relena not remember him? Why? Why? Why!! This damn word was driving him crazy! It was a word that Heero had learned that could never be answered. Because there were just to many answers for it, and none of them would ever be right! So Heero had no choice but to ask himself why. Why had she gotten into the accident? Why had he not been there to protect her? Why had she had to be injured so badly? Why could she not remember him at all? Why had he had to brake down right there in front of Relena and the others? Why could he not face her? It was driving crazy to the point where he wanted to scream.
Heero looked up from the ground and widened his eyes in surprise. He had walked all the way to the beach where Heero had first seen Relena. Where he had tried to hide his face from Relena, stolen an ambulance and disappeared. Heero shook his head at the thought. That memory seemed centuries ago. He had been such a different person back then, so cold and empty. Heero sat down on the sand in front of the tide and sighed. So many memories clouded his mind, Heero felt like they were turning his brain into liquid.
Slowly Heero felt himself drifting off into sleep. Lying down on the sand, Heero closed his eyes and let sleep take him away.
*Heero's Dream*
Heero opened his eyes and found himself in a limo. Two men in black suits and black sunglasses sat next to him and in front of him. He looked out a window as if he had to, and saw that he was driving on a highway in a colony by the looks of it. Trees and buildings zoomed past him in a haze. Then suddenly Heero heard a yell from the front of the limo. In reflex Heero spun his head around at the driver. He was looking to the side and Heero followed his gaze. A large black truck was coming at full speed straight at them. The driver of the limo jerked the wheel to the right, while Heero felt two large hands push him down to the ground away from the left side of the limo.
Then everything seemed to slow down. Heero heard and saw everything slowly. He could see the black truck barreling towards them at full speed, moving closer with every second. The driver! He could see the driver! Then everything speed up just as he saw the driver. The horrible sound of metal and plastic crunching together, and the squealing of the tires, as they were bended in different angles from the impact. Then Heero screamed-but it wasn't his voce. It sounded so familiar though, a voice so innocent---a women's voice. Then everything went black.
*End of Heero's Dream*
"Relena!"
Heero shot up onto his elbows; his breathing coming in short gasps, and his heartbeat racing inside of him like a drum being beat on. Then he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. Heero jerked away from the touch.
"Chill buddy, it's me, Duo." Duo said calmly.
Heero took a few deep breaths to try and slow his heartbeat. "Hey you almost surprised me." (He doesn't get very scared remember?)
Duo laughed shakily. "Yeah well I thought you might be here. And why did you scream Relena's name just now?"
Heero shook his head, "Don't worry about that okay? But how did you know I'd be here?" He gazed out to the ocean wondering about his dream but he pushed it aside deciding to think on it later.
Duo smiled and followed Heero's gaze out at the ocean. "Well isn't this where you first met her?"
Heero once again wondered how Duo knew so much about everything all of a sudden, but then pushed away to ask later.. again. He nodded, "Yeah it is, but she doesn't remember it at all."
"Yes she does." Duo said quietly.
"What?" Heero whipped around to look at Duo surprised by what he had said.
"She will always have the memories Heero they never go away. It's just that there seems to be a wall blocking them from being remembered. Give it time and that wall will eventually come down." Duo said.
Heero turned back to the ocean and thought about what Duo said. Hopefully Relena would remember him and all the memories they have shared. Maybe they weren't great memories but they were still memories that seemed a lot to Relena at one time. Then a thought struck him and brought him back down to the terror of real life. What if Relena never regained her memories?
"Duo what if she never regains her memories?" He asked slowly.
Duo leaned back next to Heero and turned his head to look at him. "True but you know what Heero, you got to believe. It's taken me quite awhile to understand that you have to believe. Believe in miracles and what they bring, good and bad." He sat back up and rested his arms on his knees. "This peace is truly a miracle created by Relena. So personally I think she deserves a miracle. Because she's saved countless lives, people that are alive and people that have yet to be born into this world."
Heero nodded and silently prayed to whatever God was listening for a miracle. Duo picked up a small rock and flung it into the ocean. It skipped a few then fell into the deep sea.
"The docs say it's a good chance now that Relena's alive that she'll make it. With help she may be able to regain her memories faster then waiting for them to just return." Duo told Heero.
Heero nodded again, and watched silently as the sun started to set in a blaze of colors. Orange, red, yellow, pink and red all mixed together to form a once in a lifetime picture, for sunsets are not all the same.
"Yep sunsets sure are beautiful don't you think?" Duo asked seeming to know exactly what was on his best friends mind.
Heero noted that he was almost whispering as if he didn't want to ruin this fragile peace of life. He sighed, "Yeah it is-you know Duo I never had the time to look at a sunset before, always so busy in a mission and what not."
"If it wasn't for Relena we might never had seen a single sunset, we all took things for granted back then. I regret it so badly, what I did. If I could take it back I would." Duo said.
Heero sat up and continued to watch the sun ever so slowly fall beneath the horizon. "I wouldn't as many lives as I took I also saved. But hey that's war you can't have a war without having casualties. That hurts and I'm glad Relena changed it."
"She needs us Heero-more then anything she needs us." Duo said more as a statement then a thought. "You ready for another mission Heero it's been awhile and I'm a little rusty, but I'll do it."
"Hummm, sure why not Duo gives me something to do." Heero said smiling. Duo playfully punched Heero on his shoulder and said, "Man you sure have changed Heero."
Heero shrugged, "I guess it's because I'm more human then I've ever been."
Duo nodded, "So very true. Think it's time to go back, everything cleared up for now?"
"Yeah lets go back." Heero said.
They stood up and started for the car Duo had come in. Duo climbed into the driver and Heero into the passenger. Heero laid his head back against the seat and closed his eyes as Duo drove back to the hospital. When they reached it Duo said to Heero that the doctors wanted to talk to them about something, and they headed towards a room where they could talk privately.
Duo and Heero entered and looked around. Everyone else was there including Noin along with Relenas doctors. Heero looked up at Noin and was about to ask how Relena was when she looked away and sat next to Zechs. She didn't meet his eyes the rest of the meeting.
"So doc how is she?" Duo got right to the point.
"Well she is going to live." The doctor said, and he pulled down a screen and turned off the lights in the room. He pushed a button on a projector. An image showed up of a brain in different colors. "As you can see this is Relenas brain at the moment."
Heero thought quietly to himself, as he was sure the other former pilots were doing. *Dang her brain is way different then mine, less activity*.
"The parts of red are where she has activity going on in that part of her brain. The black areas are where she has no activity at all." The doctor explained, "In the right side of her brain she has little activity in the part that controls recognizing faces. Yes there is red in there but mostly black. That's why she can remember Mrs. Merquise the most among all of you."
He pointed to Noin, but she was scanning the picture of Relenas brain with clouded eyes. Heero tried to read her eyes but could not find anything. Zechs was holding Noin's hand' his face down and looking at the table.
"Who did this?" Trowa asked.
Heero looked up at his friend. He hadn't said a word since the meeting began.
"What?" Duo asked curious.
"I mean who hit Relena?" Trowa asked again.
"Um, I do believe it was a young man in a black Ford 250. Why?" The doctor said flipping through his charts.
Heero was suddenly interested in their conversation. *My dream* Heero thought wondering.
"Is he here?" Trowa questioned.
"Yes I believe he is here, in the ER though."
Trowa nodded and stole a glance at Heero. He was sending him a message through his eyes. Heero got it and gave Trowa a quick nod. Together they stood up.
Zechs and the others looked up at the two and Duo asked, "Where you two going?"
Heero started for the door Trowa following. "Out. You all just stay here we won't be long."
"Okay" Duo said unsteadily.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Outside Heero closed the door and turned to Trowa. "Well?"
Trowa shook his head. "I'm not all that sure Heero. It just doesn't add up, all the facts."
Heero was curious as to what Trowa was getting at. "And?"
"It's just a feeling but do you even know how the accident happened?" Trowa asked.
"No not all of it. Care to fill me in?"
"Yeah, supposedly Relena was driving down the highway in her limo and this black truck lost control and swerved across the lanes into Relena's limo. The driver tried to turn, witness said but it was to late." Trowa explained.
Heero thought hard to try and remember his dream. He saw the black truck, and could recall Relena's horrible scream. That's when he realized that he had seen what Relena had seen during the accident! But how? How could he see what she had gone through?
"Trowa." Heero said slowly, "Do you know who was in the car with her?"
"I think it was her, the driver, and two bodyguards, why?" Trowa replied.
That was it! Heero had to see the man that had hit Relena. He started towards the front desk not even waiting for Trowa to follow.
"Hey!" Trowa yelled after him. He ran and caught up with Heero, "What's up Heero you look freaked and mad at the same time."
"Excuse me miss, could you point me to the ER?" Heero asked. Relena had been moved to a different level once she had awoken form her coma.
"Um yes sir ER is to your right and down the hall." The nurse said pointing behind Heero and Trowa.
"Thank you." Heero said politely then he took off running for the ER.
He had to find out! Heero had to find out what was going on. How? That was his second annoying question for the day. If the man in the ER was the same man Heero had seen in his dream then it was true. He had some how seen what Relena had seen.
Heero stepped through the doors of the ER and up to the head nurse at their station. Trowa appeared a second later beside him. "Miss where is the guy that hit Miss Relena Darlian about 4 days ago?"
The nurse looked through her charts on the desk and then said, "Umm, that young man died about a few hours ago. I'm sorry, did you know him?"
Heero stepped back and said, "Yes I did thank you for telling me."
"Your welcome. Yes Mr. Rogers died suddenly of a heart attack during his coma. Very strange and it hurt a family member who just left visiting him, that he should die about an hour later. It was odd but you can't stop death from happening." The nurse said looking back at her papers.
Heero nodded and turned around back around. Trowa and him started for the door when Heero spoke. "Sounds weird doesn't it Trowa?"
"Yeah just a tad." Trowa answered.
"A family member comes in and visits, then less then an hour later Mr. Rogers dies from a heart attack during a coma. Very unlikely especially when they said he was young." Heero told him stopping at the ER exit door.
"What do you think Heero?" Trowa asked.
"Personally I think someone's out to kill Relena. So they sent Mr. Rogers to do it and run her off the road thus killing her. But she got stuck into a coma; still she might die so they left him alone. While Mr. Rogers is in critical condition Relena wakes. Fearful that Mr. Rogers might spill, the head boss sends in another guy to silence Mr. Rogers before we can get a word out of him." Heero explained.
Trowa was impressed, Heero had really thought this through. He was still stuck on the family member. "So?" He questioned further, scared of what the answer might be.
"So, Relena is in more danger now that she's awake; she's become a blind target." Heero said opening the doors and stepping through.
