Disclaimer - As I have said, three times already, all I own is the plot,
not the characters at all, so, don't bother to sue.
A/N - This is a very fast update for me, and I update first off because my friend Ban is going away, so I suppose, you could call this her going away prezzie!! (how's that Hun, a going away prezzie!) And also because you ppl out there are so lovely and left me lots of reviews, I feel very special!!

I do hope that this chappie is up to standard, I am sort of taking the time to read this through, but that may not go to plan seeing as one of my more annoying mates *cough cough* Ben *cough cough* wont leave me alone about updates!!

I think I have talked for long enough now.
Twowa - "You Don't say?"
Shut it Muse-boy! I don't see you being helpful!
Twowa - "The day you listen to me will be the day I turn pink with yellow eyes!"
Any way, on with chapter 4.
Twowa - "If they haven't all fallen asleep waiting.." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After a few minutes of simply sitting Heero managed to rouse himself to action. He booted his laptop and hacked his way into the spaceport files and added his name to the list of passengers travelling out to colony L4.
It was too easy, within three minutes he had also managed to print off the documents that would allow him to collect his tickets.
The shuttle landed and Heero departed. One look round the terminal revealed that there was no one there to meet him. Well, what had he expected? Fireworks? He knew that even Quatre, despite what he may say didn't really want him here, he had hurt Duo, and all of them had been far closer to Duo than they had to him, no prizes for guessing why... but he had had to come, he couldn't stay away now, he just couldn't.
Sighing and shrugging his bag up onto his shoulder Heero left the spaceport and hailed a cab.
"Where to Kid?" Asked the cab driver "C'mon, I don't have all day now, tell me were you're going so we can get there, and you had better have the money to pay me!"
Heero grimaced, it seemed like the rest of the colony was against him as well, but then, he wasn't who he once was, he looked more like a tramp that a decent working man. Resignedly he pulled out his wallet and showed the driver that he was indeed intending to pay.
"The winner estate, you do know where that is right?" Heero said as he clambered into the cab.
"Of course I do!" Was the curt reply as the cab pulled out of the lot.
The cab ride was short and uneventful, the driver didn't talk to Heero and Heero definitely didn't go out of his way to talk to the antisocial driver.
Gradually the bustling city area turned into an area that could almost be classified as parkland, and up ahead Heero could see a large house that could belong to no one other that Quatre Rebarba Winner.
After leaving the cab and paying the driver, conveniently forgetting that it was polite to tip, Heero climbed the set of stone steps and pulled the cord that rung a bell somewhere inside the house, and soon the door was opened, by none other that Quatre himself.
Heero could see that he didn't know what to think, he was clearly not delighted to see him, but his appearance certainly seemed to have roused some sympathy, not that he was looking for it.
"Heero." Was the uncharacteristically flat response. "Glad you could make it."
"No you're not, but I'm here." Heero saw Quatres eyes soften, but the blonde made no move to leave his porch.
An awkward silence grew between the two one time partners, one could almost say friends and suddenly Heero realised that he hadn't only alienated Duo, albeit in an effort to save him, but also the other three, Quatre had been Duo's best friend, and so would of course have been cross with him for hurting Duo, Trowa, well, if his behaviour during the wars had been anything to go on then he would go along with what ever Quatre said, and Wu- Fei just viewed everything as an injustice, so he was unlikely to be on Heero's team either.
Sighing Heero hung his head, turned and walked back down the steps, the cab had gone so he would have to walk, but that wouldn't phase him, he had made the biggest mistake of his life coming back here, he shouldn't have come.
"Heero. Wait." Heero had just made his way to the gate when he heard Quatre call out, and he turned just in time to see the blonde running down the stairs and across the driveway to him. "Heero, don't leave."
Quatre placed a hand on Heeros shoulder, "I invited, huh, no I told you that you needed to come here so I should have at least invited you in."
Heero nodded and looked up, and allowed his eyes to meet Quatres, and the second they did Quatres large blue eyes went wide and his hands went to his heart. "Oh Allah, Heero! How..how have you lived? How have you lived through all that?"
Heero took a sharp breath, Quatre knew. What must he think? Would he tell the others? What would they think? Stranger!! What if he found out Quatre knew!? He'd kill Duo that's what.
"Oh God..." Heero murmured and sank to the floor.
Quatre looked at Heero again, Sympathy now clear in his eyes. "You told me nothing Heero, I just knew, you *are* the heart of outer space Heero, and I... I could feel your pain. I knew what was wrong."
Heero nodded, it was true, he hadn't said anything, But would Stranger see it that way.
Quatre, once again a caring friend, helped Heero to his feet. Come on Heero, lets take your things inside, I'll have a drink brought out for you and then we can go visit Duo. He will probably not be awake yet, the surgery to remove the bullet from his chest was major, but who knows, once we have done that we can come back here and get some rest, its not to late yet, just gone six, the doctors should still let us in, well, they haven't made Trowa and Wu-Fei leave yet.
Quatre led Heero into his house and after a drink and some pleasant talk, Quatre sent one of his people to get his car ready and soon they were on their way to visit Duo.

Ok, one word, Short, and I am VERY sorry! But I have actually got a plan for this fic, which actually means that the plot holes should remain the size of, the little ditch in my front garden rather that the size of the Grand Canyon, but, well, I have to stick to the plan to ensure this..
What's this????
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No!! It's a SHAMELESS PLUG!!!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT!!!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
And Today's SHAMELESS PLUG goes to The Libran Inequity, and her Fanfic Heart of ice, which I have been reading for quite a while now and I think it is excellent, and I recommend it to you!!! Well, providing that is you like the pairing 3x4 and can cope with a nice humour injection on the side, trust me, well worth the time it takes to read!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ End Shameless Plug ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Well, any way, I will try to have another chapter of this fic up in, well, in a max of 7 days, this is providing that my internet connection does not decide to die again, so, with luck prevailing, I will see you all very soon. Probably some time this weekend!!
