The commotion in the hospital lasted for days as Relena's shooting became public. Yet, it was the first day that kept being talked about after her "bodyguard" stormed noisily out of the building, barely bandaged. They hadn't seen Heero since, but his motives were evident.
" Everyone's panicking now," Wufei sighed and crossed his arms.
They were all sitting in a private room in the hospital that kept them away from being seen by others. All of them currently were only Wufei, Trowa, Sally, and Noin, who had come over for Miliardo while he was also out seeking revenge.
Turns out Quatre had the same blood type as Relena, so he volunteered himself for the transfusion she needed. No one was sure if she'd survive, but she was alive so far, so there was still hope. Yet, everyone was told that she died the day after the shooting. The people were in mourning.
" I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing," Sally said, truthfully, " I wonder if this will bring them out or just amuse them,"
" Where do you think Heero went?" Noin inquired.
" I suspect he stole that shuttle to fallow up on that lead from space," Trowa sighed.
" I thought you said he felt it was a phony lead?" Sally asked.
" He's desperate," Trowa shrugged, " He doesn't even know that Relena's still alive, no one does..."
Then the door opened and Tomi, the orange-haired Preventer they had encountered before, walked in.
" We weren't able to get anything out of the prisoner yet," He said, leaning against the wall, " we probably never will."
" Why don't I question him, then?" Wufei said, cracking his knuckles, " I was always the integrator before."
" No," Tomi said, staring over at Wufei, " No, they feel you guys are too emotionally connected to this."
" So then, is this all you have to tell us?" Trowa asked impatiently.
" Afraid so, Mr. Barton." Tomi answered.
" Fine," Trowa stood up and looked at his comrades, " I'll see you guys later."
Trowa left through the door and made his way down the hall.
" The entire world is on the edge of their seats, just expecting something else to happen. They just know it's something big and that they're near destruction," The boss man mused in front of his top-ranking officers, " It's the most beautiful feeling, really, to know exactly what's going to happen when everyone else doesn't."
" Sir." One of the soldiers prodded.
" Oh yes, orders..." The man chuckled, " So, what are they thinking, trying to hide that Relena's still alive. Do they want to fool us?"
" Heero Yuy has also made his way into space, sir," One soldier commented.
Duo was standing next to him and looked over.
" Another friend of yours, I believe Mr. Maxwell," The boss smiled, " You really haven't been kept up on the enormity of this yet, but you'll see in time. Meanwhile, I want the order sent out: Take care of Relena and kill Yuy. He's quite pestilent, really"
" Sir," Duo said, trying to keep emotion out of his voice.
" Oh yes, Duo, I have some new orders for you. I need you to intercept some of your friends again"
" But, they won't trust me." Duo countered.
" Don't worry, they will..."
Trowa sat beside Relena's bed as she slept, awaiting her transfusion that she would shortly receive. He was watching her, and, though he was deeply worried about her, his mind was far off to wherever Rae was. He knew he had to find her, and when Relena woke up, which he knew she would, she might be able to help him. Maybe she heard something during the whole ordeal.
" Excuse me, we need to take her now," A nurse said, taking Trowa out of his thoughts.
As he watched her leave though, his heart started to sink and a feeling of impending doom hovered over his head. He slowly fallowed them out of the room until he met up with Quatre.
" Shouldn't you be sitting down somewhere or something, you look paler than usual after giving all that blood," Trowa said and tried to pass Quatre.
" I'm glad I found you Trowa," Quatre said, almost frantically, " There was someone outside the room...I don't think they're supposed to be here..."
" What!?" Trowa turned back to Quatre, " Where'd they go?"
" Uh..." Quatre pointed in the same direction that Relena was taken, " I think..."
" Shit," Trowa said and started in that direction, but then stopped, " Go tell the others, I'll take care of this."
Quatre nodded weakly and Trowa hurried to where Relena would be.
After both left, a doctor came from around the corner and looked both way. He fiddled with a contraption on his wrist, and then straightened his sleeve and continued on.
They wouldn't allow him to enter the room and he didn't have authorization to order them, so he studied through the window. The only people he saw were doctors that he had already become familiar with as well as the few Preventers given the task of guarding her. Trowa sighed in relief before a beeping to his right caught his attention. He looked over and saw a woman he had never seen before in a doctor's uniform, looking at what looked like her watch. Then she looked up at him in shock and turned around and started leaving quickly.
" Wait," Trowa ran after her and caught her by the wrist, twisting her around, " Who are you? You're not supposed to be here."
" No," The black-haired, brown skin and eyed woman said up to him, " But it's a good thing I am."
" What!?" Trowa's eyes narrowed on the woman.
" There she is!" A Preventer said as a few came down the hall after her, " Find the other one!"
" Other one?" Trowa looked at the soldiers, and then at her, " What do you want?"
"To talk, "The woman said, frantically," But I can't if I'm captured and killed please, you're the only one that I know can help."
" How did you know she was alive?" Trowa asked as the soldiers came closer.
" Sorry, hon, can't talk now," she said, trying to get out of his grasp, " Please, let me go. I can help you get your daughter back."
" Liar." Trowa said, handing her over to the others.
" No," She said, trying to fight off the Preventers and get to Trowa, " You don't understand! This was a distraction! Just let me-..."
She was struck across the head by a Preventer and lost consciousness. Trowa was appalled by the action and watched as they dragged her off. What did she mean?
Trowa looked over into the room again and noticed the officers were no longer inside, but the doctors carried on without a problem.
Trowa had decided not to tell any of the others about his encounter with the intruder. Something told him that, one way or the other, she would play an important role on how all of this turned out. He worked hard to try and decipher what she meant.
' She said she could help me get Rae back? How did she know about Rae if she wasn't an enemy? What did she mean when she said it was a distraction?' Trowa thought to himself after settling back into the small room with his remaining comrades.
" What I'd like to know is how they found out Relena was still alive," Quatre brought up a good point in Trowa's mind.
" There must be a leek," Trowa concluded, " this is bad."
" Well, this shouldn't be too hard to solve," Tomi butted in, " That woman used to be a member of Preventers until she quit not too long ago. She must be another radical."
" Still, we need to consult the head of Preventers," Wufei said.
" Uh..." Tomi nodded, then turned back to his watch, " I need to head back that way anyways, I'll talk with you guys later."
Tomi left the room, leaving the others to themselves.
" It's all so fishy," Sally said, " It's like they're everywhere. No matter what we do or where we go, they're going to find us."
" Sure seems that way..." Quatre sighed, " Hey. Where are you going, Trowa?"
" Just going to check on Relena," Trowa explained as he left.
He closed the door gently behind him and walked down the hall to once again be graced by the presence of an unconscious being. As he neared her room, he noticed the door was hanging open. He ran to the door and looked inside. The window to outside was hanging open, but there was no other sign of anyone there. Panicking, he went to Relena's side and started to check to make sure she was okay. He stopped when he felt a hand on his arm. Shocked, he looked down and met the fading eyes of Relena.
" Hey..." Relena barely breathed out.
" H-hey." Trowa said back, staring wide-eyed at her.
"..." Relena caught her breath for a bit, "...don't look at me like that..."
" Wha-?" Trowa blinked at her, " Oh, sorry, I just..."
" Thought you'd never see me again alive?" Relena chuckled.
" Well, yeah." Trowa said, taking a seat next to her and looking down.
There was a silence between them as Trowa watched his feet in thought. Relena watched him with a shaky sigh. She leaned over towards him and touched his face.
" You will see her again," Relena said when she caught his eye.
" How do you know?" Trowa whispered to her in a shaky voice.
" 'That feathered thing'," Relena laid back down.
" What?" Trowa asked.
" Emily Dickinson," Relena smiled widely, " Poetry."
" I never really liked poetry..." Trowa sighed.
" Really? I think you'd appreciate it, of all people," Relena laughed, " Oh well, I suppose you'd like to ask me what happened before you and Heero got there, huh?"
" Yes, I would," Trowa said, " But, we don't need to do that right now..."
" I wish Heero would have stayed..." Relena said, looking out the window, " I don't suppose I'll see him again..."
" What makes you say that?" Trowa asked.
" People are going to die, Trowa," Relena sighed, " And, this time, he's going to be one of them..."
Trowa looked at Relena unbelievingly. It was so unreal that she was here and how strong she was. When all of this ended, he hoped he could learn more from her and that she could be there to teach the world. Then another thought struck him. Someone was obviously in that room before he got there, and now Relena was up and getting better.
" I think we have someone watching over us," Trowa thought aloud.
" A guardian angel?" Relena asked, " Or maybe something a little more solid?"
That got Trowa thinking of how the people who shot Relena broke into the house. The whole thing had been wired with the intricacy of a spider web, and yet, no alarms were set off. Many windows were broken, but the door was also open, even though all the men were still inside.
" Relena, I don't suppose you remember where the men came in at, do you?" Trowa asked, suddenly.
" I think they came in through the doors, but then there was a lot of crashing going on..." Relena said, " why?"
" I think I'm going to have to stay away from all of you guys for a while," Trowa said, thinking.
" Gonna do something illegal?" Relena asked in a mocking tone.
" Very nearly..." Trowa thought, and then looked Relena in the eye, " Just do me the favor of not trusting anybody, and I mean anybody, with the exception of Quatre. Always have him with you."
" I'm a little confused," Relena admitted, " but alright."
Trowa stood up and looked down at Relena, who was smiling up at him. He knelt down and kissed her on the forehead and she hugged him weakly around the shoulders.
" You're the bravest woman I know," Trowa said into her ear.
" I'm not near as courageous as a strong father like you." Relena whispered.
Trowa pulled away from her and gave her a knowing look as he stepped back.
" Oh, and when all of this is over, I owe you one," Trowa said with a smile.
" How 'bout you take little Rae and me to the zoo, that should do it for me," Relena smiled at him.
" Hehe...sure thing." Trowa chuckled at the thought and looked forward to it.
" Now go get your daughter back!"
A/N- Boy oh boy did that take long. Actually, I wrote this chapter in one day, I just didn't have a useable computer for a long time...but back to the story...
So, hope is finally coming back into the plot. Trowa's not completely lost anymore and, hopefully, neither are you. So, where do you think they're keeping Rae and whom do you think is the head of this movement? Will Heero really kill himself like he's come so close to doing before? Can Relena stay alive for Trowa to pay her back? And, most importantly, what IS Trowa doing? No, no, don't answer it for those who don't know!
However, I would like some reviews! Pwease!!!
