"Quatre I'm sure Trowa is just fine." Heero assured Quatre.

The fragile looking blonde shook his head. "I'm not so sure I had an attack yesterday evening."

Heero sighed. "I still say you worry too much about us Quatre. If anything bad would have happened they would have called."

Quatre sighed. "You're probably right but..."

"It's ok I worry about Duo when he goes off alone to. It's only natural for an empath to worry more." Heero smiled reassuringly at the blonde.

"Thanks Heero."

Heero shook his head. "It's nothing. So shall we see if Duo destroyed the house?"

"It appears to be standing Heero." Quatre teased back.

"Ah but appearances can be deceiving."

********************************************************

"So you seem to be intact Barton."

Trowa sighed sitting down across from him. "A little swore and tired but otherwise fine."

"I see. So how did the mission go?"

"Very nicely. Are the other's back yet?"

"Not yet but I'm lost how did the mission go very nicely if you got hurt?"

"Flesh wounds only Wufei besides pain is irrelevant the base was completely destroyed."

"That it was. Have you seen Maxwell lately?"

"No, why?"

"He seemed very concerned about you last night."

"I haven't seen him since this morning."

"Hey you two!" Duo greeted happily as he entered the kitchen

"Hey Duo." Trowa greeted. Wufei sighed.

"So the other's still not back? Hun? Oh well. So what were we talking about?" Duo asked sitting down beside Trowa.

"Not much Maxwell."

"Hey no need to get snooty Wu wu."

"I am not getting snooty and stop calling me Wu wu!"

"Fine breath hun? God Wu take everything so seriously."

"Duo stop picking on Wufei."

Duo turned to look at Trowa. "But Cy it's so much fun do I have to?"

"Yes Duo." Trowa answered turning his head.

"What is it Cy?"

"Is anyone home?"

"Hey Cat!" Duo called.

"See I told you he was fine." Heero informed Quatre as they entered the kitchen.

"What was Cat worried about Cy? Silly kitty the big lug is just fine." Duo blinked when Trowa tugged on his braid.

"Are you?" Quatre asked sitting down beside Trowa frowning slightly at him.

"A little swore and a little tired but nothing worth worrying about." Quatre nodded.

"You should have seen all the pretty explosions very Fourth of July."

"Honestly Maxwell. So how did the Sank turn out?"

"Not too bad. The AGA, ASA, and the AGASA have been causing problems, the new Pegasus suits are under construction and it looks like we'll have some free time."

"VACATION!" Duo cheered

"Maxwell shut up." Duo sighed but shut his mouth.

"Is something the matter Wufei?" Quatre asked.

"Yes, Maxwell."

"Oh come on Wufei he's just happy." Heero commented shaking his head. Wufei sighed standing.

"Wufei?" Quatre asked concerned.

"I'll be in my room."

"Was that my fault Cat?"

"He seems troubled by something Duo so don't feel too badly about it."

"Cool. So how much do the ladies miss us?"

"Noin and Sally are just fine Duo. In fact Noin finally got engaged to Zechs."

"Ooh Wedding! We are invited right? I mean he won't hold all those times you tried to kill him against us is he?" Duo rambled at his partner. Quatre giggled.

"We are invited Duo. It's in a few weeks actually." Quatre assured him.

"Damn I have to get a tux!"

"Breath Duo there's still plenty of time."

"But Cat this is important." Duo protested.

Trowa tugged on his braid again. "He knows Duo." Duo turned to look at Trowa. Trowa blinked at him tilting his head slightly.

"Look Duo don't worry about a thing Quatre's taking care of everything." Heero assured him sighing.

"Ok so no worrying got chaya." He grinned. " Anything else going on we should know about?"

"Not that I can think of. You Heero?"

"No. Well Wing needs work so I'll see you guys later."

"Bye He-chan!" Quatre sighed. "Oh no not you to Cat?"

"I have some business work to do sorry Duo."

"Well shoo off with you then." Duo teased.

"Bye you two."

"Bye Cat." Duo turned. "So where are you going to run off to?"

"No where. Do you want me gone?" Trowa asked absently toying with the end of Duo's braid.

"No of course not. It's just everyone else left so I just assumed."

Trowa nodded. "You shouldn't assume so much Duo. Assumptions will get you killed."

"Let me guess Hee-chan?"

"Yes that's what he warned me about before Quatre shot my suit in half." Duo blinked. He had heard bits and pieces of what had happened with the 'Zero Incident' but not that. "I didn't know you were into weddings?"

"It ain't a funeral so I'm happy. Besides there will be cake and you know how much I like cake?"

"Yes I remember."

"Well we're talking huge cake and rich snobs form all over the world and space. Big party. Do you even do crowds?"

Trowa blinked at him. "I'm a performer crowds don't bother me."

"Cy nothing bothers you. Ooh idea! We should bring that knife hurling sis of yours with us and Hilde to."

"Why?"

"Because girls love weddings and you sis can meet the wonderful people you work for."

Trowa frowned thinking that over. "I'll run it by her."

"Then I'll take Hilde. Man it's been awhile seen we've seen her hun?"

"Five months Monday."

"Thanks now I feel guilty. So how long has it been since you saw sis?"

"Two months tomorrow."

Duo blinked. "I'm guessing she's not too happy about that?"

"No, she's not."

"I wouldn't be either." Trowa blinked at him. "What? I'd be feeling way unloved if I got blown off for that long. Not that you have much say in the matter we've been on 24/7 call this whole time. I love blowing the Hell out of dolls but I need a break."

"You haven't had a mission in two days."

"Yeah we my baby toke a beating and it just got fixed. You'll be out of the game for a day or two." Trowa shrugged. "So what's with the whole Cat working thing? I thought he was letting his sisters deal?"

"He's trying to save everybody all by himself again."

"I thought we told him that's Hee-chan's job?"

"Sometimes you can't tell him anything. I give till the end of the week." Duo nodded watching the tip of his braid twirl between Trowa's fingers. He smiled amused by the cat-eyed pilot's absent movement.

"Hey Tro?"

"Yes Duo?"

"You planning on do that all day?" Duo teasingly asked leaning forward.

Trowa blinked at him confused before dropping the braid. "Sorry I didn't.."

"Aw I was just teasing ya Tro. It wasn't bothering me." Trowa nodded. "You feeling ok?" Trowa turned to look at him. "I mean you seem a little distracted today is anything wrong?"

"I'm fine Duo."

"Ah-hun. Well I'm going to go call Hilde." Duo stretched standing up. "Oh one more thing?"

"Yes?"

"Feel free to play with my braid anytime." Duo called winking as he walked out. Trowa blinked.

********************************************************

"Hi Duo do you want something?"

"Hey Cat it's ok if Hilde comes to right?"

"Of course Duo. Have you seen Trowa?"

"Not since we spilt up hours ago. Why you need him for something?"

"No. I think something is bothering him slightly."

"Like what? He seemed fine earlier well a little spacey but fine."

"It's just a feeling. It's nothing bad I'm just curious."

"I bet he feels bad about not seeing sis for so long. We were talking about it earlier."

Quatre nodded. "That's probably it."

"Cat don't work so hard ok? I mean it go to bed."

"But Duo."

"No but's Cat go, now. You never know when you'll get the call and if you're worn out you'll liable to get hurt."

Quatre nodded. "Just let me send this ok?"

"Sure thing Cat." Quatre stretched standing. "Off to bed with you."

Quatre smiled as he walked around his desk. "Good night Duo."

"Night Cat." Quatre nodded walking past him. Duo sighed. ~Time to go see what's up with Trowa~

********************************************************

"Yo Tro can I come in?"

"It's open Duo." Duo entered the room blinking at the white bandages.

"I'm not disturbing you am I?" Duo asked knowing how much Heero hated being interrupted.

Trowa turned his head to look at him. "If you were I wouldn't have said it was open." Trowa answered as he began to unwrap his upper arm. "So what brings you here?" He asked nodding to his left indicting Duo could sit.

Duo quickly toke him up on his offer. "Well I just came from talking with Cat. you guilty you haven't seen sis in a while?"

"What does guilt feel like?"

"Bad. For me it's like a punch in the gut."

Trowa nodded. "Ah...Yes I did feel some of that."

"Yeah well Cat picked up on it."

"Is that the only reason you came?"

Duo swallowed watching Trowa work. ~Get a grip man~ "Well no. I wanted to know if Kathrine is coming? I need to know if I need to order a vest."

"If she knew you had a vest she'd go for your head."

"I'll take that as a yes?" Trowa nodded. "I think Cat needs a vest."

"Kathy's not bringing her knives. Besides she wouldn't hurt Quatre."

"You sure about that?"

"Yes, she only want's to scare him."

"That's she's done." Trowa nodded again flexing his right arm. "So all better?"

"For the most part." Duo blinked when Trowa leaned forward arms on his knees sighing.

"What is it?" Duo asked leaning forward as well.

"Just old memories."

"Oh." Duo commented straighten. He froze when his eye's caught a flash of faint lavender. A long burn scar ran down Trowa's left shoulder blade a few inches from both the spine and the top of the blade. Duo couldn't help but think of an angel statue he had seen once with it's left wing snapped off. Sister Helen said it was a fallen angel. He reached out with hesitant fingers but pulled them away.

"Duo?" Trowa asked confused by the other's silence. Duo made no response to the soft call of his name he simply reached out and gently ran a gentle finger along the scar. Trowa shiver involuntarily at the soft touch but made no movement to get away from him. "Duo?" He asked a little louder then before.

Duo blinked at him dazed for a moment before pulling his hand away as if he had touched something hot. "Trowa I'm so, so sorry." Duo apologized head low face red.

"For what?"

"I had no right to touch you."

"Quatre said the same thing. It's alright Duo."

Duo shook his head, long braid smacking Trowa's arm. "No it's not. I didn't mean to."

Trowa sighed. "Duo look at me?" Duo looked up at him "I said it's ok. It's only a scar."

Duo bit his lip. "Heero would."

"I'm not Heero Duo. Why do you look so upset?"

"You wouldn't understand."

"Try me?"

"No. Sorry again." Duo apologized standing. He froze when he felt a gentle tug on his braid. "Trowa?"

"I'm not sure if you think you violated some unwritten law or something but I don't mind being touched." Duo relaxed slightly as Trowa toyed with the tip of his braid again. He allowed his attention to focus on Trowa's face.

"I know. Sorry I guess I'm just jumpy today." Duo apologized. Trowa nodded accepting the apology. "I think I'm ok now." Duo sat back down chiding himself for his reaction.

"Don't worry about it no one will find out."

Duo smiled. "Thanks." Trowa shrugged. Duo focused his violet eyes on Trowa's tan from as the taller boy picked something up from the nightstand. "Bad memories all gone?"

Trowa nodded before slipping a golden chain around his neck. "Yes. You seem back to normal."

"I have a normal? Woah I need to sit down."

"You are sitting down."

"Oh yeah. Don't take this the wrong way but I need my braid back." He smiled. "I feel like crashing and I'd hate to leave it here with you. Even thought it would be in such good hands but I am rather attached to it." Trowa laughed at him as he toke Duo's hand. Duo blinked at him.

"It would look as good on me anyway." Trowa teased closing Duo's fingers around his braid.

"No I guess not. Night Tro."

"Good night Duo."

Duo sighed as he closed the door. ~And we are making progress.~ He rubbed the tip of his braid against his check savoring the slight warmth it had picked up from Trowa's hand. He smiled as he headed for his room. ~Tee hee warm and soft just like a big kitty. I love kitties. Keke~ He blinked when he walked right into his door. "Hehe where is my head? Oh yeah kitty land." Duo giggled as he entered his room and collapsed on his bed. "Kitty land, kitty land, kitty.land..kitty..."

Ok the end of chapter 2. Wasn't that just heartwarming? Keke. Bye bye.

AGA= Anti Gundam Association. It's a KKK type group dedicated to the end of the Gundams like the KKK is to everyone who isn't KKK.

ASA= Anti Sank Association. Same as the AGA only their focus is on destroying the Sank. Some prefer it's reputation but other's go for terrorist actions.

AGASA= Anti Gundam (Anti/And) Sank Association. Hates them both.

Pegasus. A winged suit modeled after Wing Zero Custom. Will replace the White Taurus as the Sank's MS. Has a feminine body shape unlike the Gundams, and just about every other SM, male one.
