~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It had been a month since the Senshi were found and brought back to one of the top secret government labs for study. And still the Senshi did not wake up.
The government was not pleased however. After doing a blood work up on the women, there was no discernable difference from their blood and a normal human's blood. With one exception.
The Senshi's blood was immune to all known virus, even the cold. Other than that, they were 'normal' for lack of a better term.
The only thing left for them to do was to wake up. Maybe somewhere in their minds, they knew much more than history even indicated.
If they truly were the Legendary Senshi of Crystal Tokyo, then they must know almost everything about that time period.
Another month had passed before they woke up.
Mars was the first to wake up. When she saw a strange man bending over her, lightening fast, she had thrown him into a wall.
The other scientists ran into the room as soon as they heard the, 'thud' of the man crashing into the wall.
It was well known that Lady Mars didn't care for men; so one of the female staff stepped forward to speak with her.
"Lady Mars?" She asked calmly.
Mars snorted and leapt off the table to stand proudly her 5'4" height. "Who else would I be? And where the hell am I? Where are the others?" Her violet eyes blazed in barely checked fury.
Not missing a beat, the scientist, who was named Samantha Winner, answered Mar's question.
"You could have been an imposter, but I highly doubt that. You are at a research and development base in what used to be the United States. And the other, your friends, I presume, are in the rooms next to yours."
Mars nodded. "I wish to see them."
The scientists looked at each other nervously. Should they let a potential danger out of the room? They looked at Samantha since she was the department head.
She looked at Mars with a steel glance. "You just woke up. You shouldn't really be moving right now. But I guess it couldn't hurt you IF you agree to the use of a wheel chair."
Mars looked furious. "WHEELCHAIR! I am the warrior of War! I don't need a wheelchair! I am perfectly fine!" As if to demonstrate her ability, she stood up. And then fell down.
Growling under her breath, she cursed at her legs. They were weak. 'How long have I been out?' "Get me that chair...please" she growled.
Samantha smiled gently at the Lady of Mars. It must have been difficult to admit to needing help.
A short time later, Mars wheeled her self into Mercury's room.
Mercury looked pale in the dim lights. There were dark circles under her eyes. But the injuries she had sustained in the last fight were barely noticeable. All that was left were thin pale scars.
Mars was proud of her friend. Till the very end Mercury had fought along side her. And goddess of War would have been proud.
But to see her now broke her heart. To see any Senshi unconscious and vulnerable was something that bothered her sense of pride.
But to see Ami, the calm genius just laying there...it was intolerable.
The next room she visited was Jupiter's. She didn't look as pale as Mercury, but there was a definite paleness there that hadn't been there before.
Her injuries too were nothing more than pale scars.
Lastly, she visited Saturn. The Death Goddess was almost a see through paleness.
'Hota-chan..' Mars thought sadly. The girl was like a daughter to all of them.
The determined look on Saturn's face assured her that she would be okay given time.
'I only hope we are given time' Mars thought to herself before wheeling herself back to her room.
The next few days, Mars was gaining strength. She was almost back to normal strength. That had surprised all of the medical staff there.
They had thought that it would take months before she would be able to do some of the activities that she was doing now.
The physical exams Mars could handle. All the exercise helped her anger a great deal. But she missed her friends.
Every day she would stop by their room before doing anything else. But nothing she did was affecting them in the least. But it was a comfort that they were alive.
The thing that she most hated was the questions. These people just kept asking her questions on what had happened to her. And what was Crystal Tokyo like.
It had surprised Mars to know that over a thousand years had passed since the day they had fallen in battle. But she wouldn't tell them anything.
"It shouldn't matter!" She had yelled at them once. "It's in the past, and it should stay there!"
The scientists weren't too happy about that, but some of them had understood what she meant.
They didn't want to remember or talk about the warring years of just a little while ago, but because there were people who survived in many places, it was well recorded in history.
From the tales that survived, what had happened there was more horrible than their wars. Especially since it wasn't really recorded. It was all stories.
But still, people should know what had happened to the most prosperous city ever to have existed.
And to that Mars had replied "It won't do you any good in this time. It has been far too long since it happened. Everyone would regard it as just another fairy story. Besides, from what I hear, you have a pretty decent world going here"
After the yelling debate on history, it wasn't brought up again. And Mars had told them that Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn would tell them the same thing.
Only once did Mars show her power over flames.
She had gone down to the kitchens to get a snack before dinner, and one of the chefs, surprised to see her had spilled some oil on the burners.
It had caught fire and would have caused a great deal of damage had she not been there.
Instead, Mars, with a wave of her wrist, she pulled the fire to her palm. There it sat some what contained.
She let it dance there for a minute, awing the cooking staff before clenching her fist and extinguishing the bright dancer.
After her little display, the chef who had spilled the oil approached her and apologized profusely much to Mars's embarrassment.
Samantha had heard of the kitchen episode. It only confirmed that she was truly a Senshi for the past. Only the Lady of Mars could have controlled the fire like that.
Buy what she also inferred by Mars' stunt was that she wasn't going to hurt people by using her powers.
She could have left them to clean up their own messes, but she didn't. She saved them a lot of work and probably some injuries.
There wasn't much else they could do with her there. She was stronger than everyone here, but she was also more gentle than a lot of men.
However, no one made fun of her with out her punching said person into a wall. After the first time, she was respected for her strength.
But she was liked by all when she made sure the guy she hit was going to be alright.
Mars was popular with both the males and females. Obviously the guys thought she was stunningly gorgeous. But she turned all of them away.
She could tolerate men, didn't mean she had to like them. They were so coarse.
The women liked her because she was strong and didn't try and steal away any of their guys. Petty, but true. But the few Mars chose to talk with respected her because she was intelligent.
A full two weeks after she had awakened, Mars was told that she was going to be living outside the base.
"We have contacts that owe us a favor or two. That and they would be delighted to have you stay with them. They were after all, the ones that originally found you and your friends. This way we can keep in contact with you, but you would have your freedom."
Mars narrowed her eyes somewhat. All it was, was freedom with a leash. But never the less, she nodded her head in agreement.
After all, she did have power over fire. No telling what she might do with that. TI would have been unwise of them to just set her free.
And as a bonus, she would be able to get acquainted with the new society and find out about who had found them.
All in all...not to bad a deal.
The next day, Mars, with a small bag containing some clothes, found herself looking at the doors to a three story mansion.
Nervously, she rang the door bell. A few seconds later a blonde man in his early twenties open the door. Shock, then surprise, and finally a grin flashed across his face.
"Welcome Lady Mars. My name is Quatre Winner. My sister said you were on your way." He gestured for her to come in.
Gulping down her nervousness, Mars stepped in, her grip on her bag tight.
Seeing how nervous his newest guest was, Quatre smiled softly at her.
"You don't need to be nervous here. No one, except maybe Duo, will say much to you. I dare to say that you had your fill of annoying questions already."
Mars smiled back a bit. "Who's Duo?" she asked curiously.
Quatre laughed. Her voice was soft, yet deadly. Definitely a soldier's voice.
"There are five of us ex-soldiers living here. Duo is the most hyper active one. No doubt he run you over in his quest to run away from Wufei's Katanna." Seeing her face become even more confused he continued.
"Besides myself, there is Duo Maxwell, an all round noisy and prank pulling person who's once source of pride is his hair. He has it in a braid down to his rear end.
Then there is Wufei. He is very prideful. Duo likes to tease him a lot, so at least once a day he goes chasing after him, threatening to chop off his braid.
Mars nodded. Sounded like herself and Usagi before all the fighting.
"Then there is Trowa. He has hair that covers one of his eyes and he works at the circus when it comes into town. He doesn't say much, but we usually listen when he has something to say. He's not so bad."
"Lastly, is Heero. He is a weapons nut. He always has a gun somewhere on him. Almost emotionless and speaks less than Trowa."
Mars grinned. 'A soldier to the core.'
Quatre gave her the tour of the house/mansion. The bed rooms were on the third floor. And that's all that was there.
The only thing on the second floor that interested her was the gym.
On the ground floor was the living room/Library, the dinning room, and the kitchen. There was also a half inside, half outside swimming pool.
When Mars looked at the library, she knew that once Mercury caught sight of all the books, they'd have to pry her out of there.
While on the tour of the house, they discovered that only Wufei was still there.
Duo had gone out with Heero, and Trowa was out doing something. He didn't say what, just that he was 'out'.
When Mars was introduced to Wufei, he stupidly called her an onna. And for that, Mars knocked him flat.
She only apologized to Quatre for disturbing the peace and knocking one of his guests out. It was his house after all.
She didn't apologize to Wufei.
A few hours later, Trowa quietly walked in. He did a double take when he saw Mars sitting in the dinning room chatting with Quatre.
He was introduced and they both nodded at each other. No words were spoken.
Before he left the room, Trowa over heard Quatre asking Mars about her friends. He was curious about that as well. Mostly though he wanted to know about Mercury.
Mars tersely answered him in a clipped voice. "Asleep" was all she said.
Quatre didn't ask any more on that subject. It was still a sore one with her. But it was understandable.
Dinner was a quiet one as Duo wasn't there. Heero would have been conspicuously absent, had he not been out with Duo. The best leash there was.
The only thing that was surprising at dinner, was Mars fuming about being called Mars.
"Call me Rei" She told them.
Both looked at her in surprise.
She growled at them. "Before I was a Senshi, I was a person. Rei happens to be my real name. 'Mars' is an title."
Both men nodded.
After dinner was over was when Duo and Heero made an appearance.
Duo was almost passed out drunk. Heero....well it was hard to tell. But knowing Duo, he had probably had a few beers as well.
Heero nodded at Rei and proceeded to drag his counterpart off to bed.
'Okay....that was strange!' Rei thought to herself. 'But I guess that's normal for them judging by Quatre's sigh.'
"I can't believe he got drunk!" Quatre exclaimed. "A little tipsy is all he normally goes for, but flat out drunk! What was he thinking!"
Rei smirked. Quatre, she had thought was a mouse type person. But apparently he could roar. Interesting.
By the end of the next day, Rei was about to steal Wufei's katanna and chop off Duo's braid herself.
Duo, after his bout with his hangover, had gotten one good look at her before pelting her with questions.
Curiosity had killed the cat. Unfortunately, Duo was no cat.
Duo, after realizing that she equated to a female version of Wufei, left her alone; more so, because while he could outrun Wufei, she was a hell of a lot faster than him. If he had not caught the Katanna, his precious braid would be no longer attached to his head.
Rei and Wufei had come to a non spoken agreement. She wouldn't kill him if he didn't call her anything but Rei. Additionally, they would be more often than not be found sparring in the gym.
Trowa, she found was someone she didn't have any problems with. They never spoke to each other, but they got along just fine.
Heero, after he found one of his guns melted beyond recognition after pointing it at Rei, respected and accepted her.
However, it was Quatre that she had the most fun with. She could talk with him without wanting to rip his head off like with Duo. He was a male version of Ami and that calmed her.
He also was the one who went shopping with her. She may have been the Senshi of War, but she was still female. And she liked to shop. Besides, Quatre was really cute in Rei's book.
All in all...it was an ok place to be leashed to. Especially when a call came in that said that Mercury was up.
