Warrior of the galaxy Chapter Fourteen Falling Brothers

It's been a few days since Lorienta's attack. Selene has regained her colour and is once again making jokes, rather than palely smiling at the jokes of those around her.

Selene bounds up the stairs to Heero's bedroom door, and knocks lightly. She hears no reply. Selene opens the door a crack and peeks through to see the door to the balcony open. Selene wanders in. Finding Heero on the balcony she calls out to him in a concerned voice.

"Heero, you need to come out of here, it's been days, and you need to eat. We all need to keep our strength up."

Heero remains facing away from Selene "How do you know I'm not going to kill you again?"

Heero sounds croaky, like someone who hasn't spoken in a long time. He turns towards Selene to see her reaction to his remark.

Sighing, Selene walks slowly over to Heero. Wrapping an arm around his shoulders, she is shocked when he flinches, but she just holds tighter.

"Heero, everybody knows that wasn't really you. Nobody blames you." Selene points towards two birds sitting together in one of the massive trees.

"How does he know that she won't push him out of the nest while he sleeps…"

Heero manages a small smile. Selene continues "You can't hide in here forever, don't let life pass you by. Don't let love pass you by…"

Heero smiles. "You have a way with the heart, Selene."

Selene smiles cheekily "You mature pretty quickly when you've died as many times as I have."

Selene notices one of the trees near the balcony shaking unnaturally. Leaning forward Selene impulsively pashes Heero in a very suggestive manner. The same tree begins to move quite violently when Heero responds to this unexpected advance.

Calmly, but in a leading manner Selene suggests "I think maybe we should go inside…"

A wave of her hand as they are walking inside summons an incredible gust of wind that sweeps only through the tree near the balcony.

Giggles and shrieks can already be heard from Heero's bedroom when Selene's three brothers land on the ground near the foot of the tree by the balcony.

"Where is Sal?" asks Duo who has been reading the comics over Quatre's shoulder.

"Yeah, and when is Heero going to leave his bedroom, I don't feel like I've seen him for days." Quatre points out.

"I saw Selene heading up stairs about ten minutes ago" says Avian distractedly.

The three brothers wander in through the glass doors and into the living room, rubbing different parts of their sore bodies.

Avian looks up from the paper he has been reading.

"You've been spying again?" smirking he continues reading his paper.

"Shut up" Airethian and Xavier reply with half serious aggression.

The more civil Scorperian makes light of the situation "I prefer to call it…babysitting…"

Avian laughs.

"She's definitely not a baby anymore." Lorethia replies, a wistful look crossing his face momentarily.

"She is still that stubborn little girl at times though." Avian says, he now also looking a little distant.

Scorperian spins around just in time to see Xavier and Airethian heading towards the stairs looking mischievous.

"Where are you two going?" asks Scorperian with mock concern.

"I'm going to pound Heero." is the matter-of-fact reply from Airethian.

"Or…we could use magic to fill his room with smoke, so that he thinks the house is on fire…" says Xavier looking like a naughty little boy.

"Yeah, then when he runs out of his room, I can pond him…" Airethian and Xavier run up the stairs.

"So where are Heero and Selene?" Duo asks ditzyly.

With a knowing look Lorethia replies "Lets just say they're getting better acquainted…"

Scorperian the oldest of the three brothers asks somewhat pleadingly "Who wants to come and help me break up the children?"

"I always enjoy a little parenting before lunchtime." says Raye looking up from her bowl of muesli.

As Raye and Scorperian walk up the stairs Raye laughs.

"What?" asks Scorperian uneasy because Raye has been walking behind him.

"Well, I always imagined that there'd be a slightly longer courting period before I had to take part in any parenting activities…" Raye replies, blushing.

"Yeah, I always assumed I'd know the name of the mother of my children…" Scorperian says with a laugh.

"Oh – my name's Raye."

"Scorperian." is the gruff reply.

Raye leans in to shake Scorperian's hand, Scorperian doesn't notice Raye's outstretched hand and leans in to peck Raye in a greeting manner on the cheek. Scorperian awkwardly trips down a step as Raye leans back away from his advancing face. All of this making for a rather uncomfortable moment on the stairs.

Raye manages to save the moment "Sorry, I'm not that kind of girl." she flirtily says as she brushes past Scorperian, to see what mischief is unfolding at the top of the stairs.

From the living room Duo can be heard asking blankly, "But I thought Heero and Selene knew each other quite well. What are they doing upstairs?"

Quatre shakes his head, "It's incredible you made it this far…"

There is a look of disdain and disbelief on Wufei's face "Maxwell, you braided baka. Do we have to spell it out for you?" Wufei grabs Duo's shirt pulling him outside.

"When a man loves a women, very very much…"

The door slams behind them.

Through the window the gundam pilots, white lights and sailor scouts see Wufei patronisingly explaining to Duo what happens between men and women. Duo goes bright red before collapsing on the ground. Wufei rolls his eyes and wanders back inside.

"I see he understands now!" Lorethia gets up to get Duo a glass of water.

From the top of the stairs Scorperian can be heard booming, "Xavier and Airethian, if you don't leave your sister alone, I will send you both to the fairy and pixie dimension, where all the dark magic in the world will not be able to stop the music from the Never Ending Fairy and Pixie Ball."

Xavier and Airethian look surprisingly shaken by this threat. It is Xavier who replies "Airethian, he never uses that threat, come on man, back away from the door!"

Airethian looks very disappointed, "I was just going to rough him up a little."

Airethian begins to wander back down the stairs "Who's your girlfriend Scorperian?"
