Duo sighed listlessly as he stared up at the ceiling. Everything had fallen apart after the end of the war. Heero split on him, leaving him to clean up the emotional rubble he had made of Duo's life. Trowa ended up killing himself in his bathtub and Heero ran to Quatre's aid. Duo had never had any suspicions, but now...now he was alone. He didn't know where Wufei was, nor did he really care. He and Wufei had never really gotten along. But Quatre and Heero...he had never suspected such a deep betrayal. Shaking his head to return to the present, Deathscythe's pilot poured himself another drink. Most of his days were swimming in vodka and bad memories. The radio in the background had been on for days, but he couldn't begin to tell anyone what station it was on.
"And this next number goes out to some one named, wait no, numbered, 002 from 005. Pat Benatar's 'Invincible'. Well, whoever you are 002, this one's for you..."
##This bloody road remains a mystery
This sudden darkness fills the air
What are we waiting for?
Won't anybody help us?
What are we waiting for?
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible##
005...Wufei?! No, it couldn't be...but who else would it be? Duo sipped thoughtfully at his drink. They had always said that if things got really bad they'd broadcast this song all over the airwaves and they would meet at the safe house. But which safe house was it??
##This shattered dream you cannot justify
We're gonna scream until we're satisfied
What are we running for?
We've got the right to be angry
What are we running for?
When there's nowhere we can run to anymore
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible##
He remembered! Tossing the glass aside he grabbed his coat, keys and wallet and ran to his car, leaving the door wide open. It didn't matter. Everything worth stealing had already been stolen by his neighbors. In his garage though was a nice red sports car that Quatre ad bought as a way of apologizing for stealing Heero from him. Until now he could never bring himself to drive it, but he HAD to get to that safe house. He peeled out and took off the radio still blaring the song in his ears. Wufei was trying to find him? Why...? He had trouble focusing on the road, the vodka he had been drinking finally kicking in.
##Won't anybody help us?
What are we running for?
When there's no where, no where we can run to anymore##
There was something in the road. It looked like a car. A dark car. Someone was standing next to it, but Duo couldn't stop in time. He plowed right into the car, sending himself headlong through the windshield. The figure moved to where he lay, kneeling and checking his pulse. Dark black eyes searched his purple ones. The vodka in his system served as a painkiller, so he didn't really feel too much discomfort. "W-Wufei...?!"
"Rest, Maxwell. Take your peace at last..." Duo stared at him as the light turned to darkness. He always preferred night anyway. It hid so much. He smiled, or at least he thought he did. He couldn't really tell.
"Thanks, Wu-man..."

Wufei smiled at the now deceased Soldier of Death who had been suffering for so many years since his broken heart. He knew Duo would never recover, only sink deeper and deeper into his pain. This way he had died with honor and dignity. He heard the sirens coming and disappeared into the shadows. "Rest in peace, my love...."
