L2 Outbreak
Day 4: Stupidity and Accidents
5:21 A.M.
The alarm clock rang in Duo ear and he reached out to shut it off. After several seconds without luck he felt Wufei shift over him. The next thing he heard was a loud smash as Wufei punched the alarm, smashing it into pieces. Duo's eyes snapped open and he looked over at Wufei. "That was my favorite clock!" he cried in mock anger.
Duo launched himself at Wufei and tackled him onto his back. He kissed Wufei soundly on the lips. "We gotta get to work," Wufei said, sensing that Duo was about to start something.
Duo sighed. "Yeah," he said. "Damnit!"
Wufei smiled and got up to get in the shower. Duo walked out into the kitchen and put coffee on. While the coffee was boiling Duo walked out and got the newspaper. He didn't look at it as he walked in.
He put the paper on the table and got a coffee cup out of the cabinet. After he poured his coffee he went back and sat down at the table. He took a sip of his coffee and picked up the paper. On the front page was an article about the virus spreading through L2. It read:
A new disease spreading through L2 has killed 27 so far. Authorities have yet to make any comment on the happenings. Vice Foreign Minister Relena Peacecraft is scheduled for a visit today. She stated, "I must see what is going on in L2 for myself. I have not been getting any facts..."
Duo stopped reading at that point and put his head in his hands. "Why, why, why are you so stupid?" he said under his breath.
Wufei walked in and asked, "What was that?"
"Relena decided to pay us a visit," Duo answered, handing him the newspaper.
Wufei read the article and groaned. "She is such an idiot," he said.
"I'm definitely going to talk to Heero about her," Duo said.
"You do that," Wufei said. "Let's go."
6:30 A.M.
Duo and Wufei walked into the lab to see a seen of chaos. People were running all over trying to clean for Relena's visit. Duo sighed. "I still think it's really stupid that she's coming," he said.
"You're not the only one," Wufei said.
Sally ran up to them. "This is great!" she exclaimed. "Queen Relena's coming to give us moral support."
"Yeah," said Duo with fake cheerfulness. "She's also being very stupid in the process."
Sally looked at him in shock. Then she smirked. "You know," she said smugly, "this is why you got kicked out of the Program in the first place."
"She deserved everything I said," Duo said. "She wasn't trained, but you still let her in."
Flashback
Relena stepped into the BL-4 room. She had on a specially designed Haz-mat suit. "Duo walked over to her. "Were you shown how to put down a monkey?" Duo asked.
"Yes," Relena replied.
"Good," Duo said. "You can do that and then I'll show you a dissection."
Relena found an unconscious monkey and gave it and injection of T-61, a euthanasia agent in the chest. She must have missed the heart.
She carried the monkey over to Duo and set it on the table. "You start the incision here," said Duo, pointing to a stop on the chest, "and make a Y shape."
Duo stuck the scalpel into the monkey and it's eyes popped open. It jumped up and lunged at Duo. Duo jumped back and the monkey pulled the scalpel out of it's chest. It slashed at Duo. Duo grabbed a tranquilizer gun off the table (they kept it there for emergencies such as this) and shot at the monkey.
The dart hit the monkey square in the chest. Hit dropped down and hit the floor. Duo glared at Relena and stomped out of the room into the DECON room.
Ten minutes later he stepped out and Wufei ran up to him. "Are you all right?" Wufei asked.
"I'm fine," Duo said angrily.
Relena stepped out of the DECON room and Duo immediately started yelling at her. "Are you stupid! Where did you put the T-61 shot?"
"Right in the chest," she said, her eyes wide with shock.
"In the heart?" Duo asked.
Relena nodded. "Right on the right side."
Duo smacked a hand his head. "Relena no baka! The heart isn't on the right side stupid!" He put a hand to his chest over the heart. "It's right here!"
Relena still looked shocked, and Duo continued. "You're not even trained to be here! Une shouldn't have let you in! Argh! You said you knew how to put down a monkey!"
"I do!" Relena shouted, finally breaking out of her shock.
"Well obviously not, or the monkey wouldn't have tried to KILL ME!" Duo shouted back. "You're just a stupid idiot who thinks she can do everything! Well guess what: you can't do this!"
Relena turned to Une. "I want him off this program."
"Right away Miss Relena," Une said and bowed. Then she glared at Duo. "You're fired Maxwell."
Duo stepped back in shock. "F...fired?" he said.
"Yes, fired," Une replied.
"I don't fucking believe this," Duo choked out.
"Find a way to," Une said. "I want you out of here by six o'clock."
Duo snapped out of his shock. "Fine!" he said. "One day you'll see that you made a big mistake."
The others only looked on as Duo stomped out of the room. "He was the best we had," Wufei said.
Sally looked hurt and Une said, "We can find better."
"No you can't," Heero thought.
End Flashback
Heero sighed as he remembered that day. Duo had lost his job because of Relena's stupidity. Now she was doing it again.
Heero sighed again but then grinned when he remembered the book he was reading. The Exorcist. He thought back to when Duo had read the book during the war.
Flashback
"Duo looks really engrossed in that book," Quatre said.
Heero looked over at Duo and saw that his eyes widened ever so slightly when he turned a page. He looked at Wufei, who was creeping up behind Duo. Wufei shouted and grabbed Duo's shoulders. Duo let out a loud screech and jumped a foot in the air. Everyone, except Duo of course, started to laugh. "I'll kill you Chang!" Duo shouted.
Duo chased after Wufei yelling, "They were doing the exorcism and you had to go and scare the shit outta me!"
Wufei started yelling for help but the other pilots just laughed. He had brought it on himself.
End Flashback
There was a knock on the cabin door and Pargan stuck his head. "M. Yuy, Princess Relena," he said, "now would be a good time to put on your Racal suits."
"Thank you Pargan," Relena said.
She stood up and started to take her clothes off. Heero stood up and started towards the door. Relena stopped him and asked, "Don't you want to stay?"
"I told you Relena," Heero sighed, "I'm not interested."
"Oh, please," she snorted. "You know you want this."
"Sorry Relena," he said. "But you don't have the right parts."
He turned on his heels and slammed the door on the way out.
10:52 A.M.
Heero and Relena walked into the lab to see Duo yelling at another scientist. "You didn't put it down right you idiot!"
"Duo!" Wufei shouted. "Calm down!"
Duo turned to Wufei. "Again I was almost killed by a monkey. During the war I was fucking Shinigami! Now a monkey almost kills me!"
"That's enough Duo," Wufei said softly. "Just calm down."
Duo calmed down a bit. He turned and noticed Relena and Heero. "What exactly are you doing here princess?" he said, sneering the last word.
"Boosting moral," she said. "What are you doing here?"
"Working," was Duo's simple reply. He then turned and stalked over to look at some new samples. Over the course of a few hours the virus had spread rapidly, and now fifty-two people were infected with thirty-five deaths.
Heero looked at Wufei. "Quatre and Trowa are coming with a team to help out," he said.
"Good," Wufei replied. "We need all the help we can get. How's the boyfriend?"
Heero groaned. "He pissed at me because he thinks I haven't told Relena yet. But I have. She just won't accept it. She actually tried to get me to have sex with her on the way here!"
"Geez," Wufei said. "I see she still hasn't gotten over her obsession."
"Nope."
11:47 P.M.
Duo staggered into his bedroom with Wufei walking closely behind. Without even taking off their uniforms they dropped onto the bed. Before they drifted off to sleep Wufei said, "Quatre and Trowa are coming up here with a team to help us."
Duo mumbled something unintelligible. "What?" Wufei asked.
"As long as they are better than the Preventers team," he repeated.
"Yeah," Wufei said and they both fell asleep.
Next Episode: Quatre and Trowa go to L2 with a team of their best virologists. Relena still has problem with Duo working on the assignment and tries to get him fired. Next episode: Day 5 Help and Hate.
