(I do not own GW!!!!! Also please read and review Cast: Wufie, Quatre, Trowa, Hero, Dou, Sally, Relena, Serenity, Dorothy, Catherine, Hilde, Hanna, Kim, Allen, Millardo, and Noin)
I would like to thank everyone that reviewed for me and know that the fic isn't dead just that I had to focus on school and work for a while but I'll try to update better from now on.
Relena jumped slightly when the shuttle came to a halt, eyes opening to blink as she looked around. Catharine smiled before reaching over to hand the Vice foreign Minister a glass of water.
"We arrived."
Catharine states before turning back around to speak quietly to Dorothy. Noin took the chance to move to the seat beside Relena, a worried look on her face as she asks.
"Are you sure you want to go through with this? We could always go back."
Relena pauses for a moment before shaking her head.
"No, I want to meet this woman that keeps informing us of danger. I owe her at least the curtsey to come to her choice of meeting places."
She looked out the window before frowning.
"I didn't think it would be an actual resource satellite that she would have us meet. I guess we should get moving."
Noin nodded and stood to smile at the other women before gesturing to the door.
"Shall we?"
The women in silent agreement stood and made their way out into the hanger of the satellite, Noin's hand straying to the gun in the back of her jacket. Once outside they didn't expect the site that greeted them, standing there with a smile was a slightly bent old man. At the old man's elbow was a young man that obviously worked on the satellite from his work clothing.
The old gentleman smiled before gesturing to a table not to far from where they stood.
"Please forgive me but I am to greet you before you can board a shuttle to the colony. Please understand but our lady commander, Ms. Tear wants to make sure you are certain that you wish to complete this journey."
Relena blinked before she smiles and takes a seat; Noin and Sally look at one another before joining the table. It isn't long before all of them are seated; the young man serving tea to each of the women as if it was an every day event for him to do so. Relena shakes her head before looking over the hanger and sipping her tea after the elderly gentleman had taken a sip of his own.
"Why would I come so far if I didn't intend to finish the journey?"
She asks it in a soft casual voice. The elderly man smiles and chuckles kindly before answering.
"Because you aren't sure of the journey yet."
He smiles before finishing off his tea and continuing
"Lady Tear is an ally to you but you have never met her, or so you think. She would rather have you fully committed then nervous if you are to visit."
Relena blinks before settling back in her seat.
"So in other words she wants to make sure that we are prepared and that we will not interfere with the colony if we are not."
She says the words quietly as it dawns on her. The man nods before folding his arms in front of him.
"True."
Relena nods before smiling and looking at the other women.
"We are fully committed to this."
The old man nods and gestures to the shuttle with one wrinkled hand.
"Then by all means."
Relena smiles and stands before moving towards the shuttle. The others fallow with polite good byes as they bored the shuttle. After the shuttle in off and moving on its course to the colony the elderly man reaches up and touches his face.
Kim smiles as he peals off the latex mask, the gloves fallow as he watches the shuttle move into the distance.
"I hope you are ready for this Serenity you will only have this chance to make them understand."
Kim shakes his head and looks at his watch before he looks at the man at his shoulder.
"We need to prepare for our next set of guests and we might need more people to make sure that they don't get violent."
Kim smiles at Alex as he moves off to do as he is asked.
Serenity shivers as she becomes aware of her body, feeling the hard medical table under her and the tubes in her arm as it drips saline solution into her veins to revive her. Just in the outer range of her hearing she hears voices, keeping her breathing steady she listens.
"What do you mean she is getting worst?"
Hanna nearly screams at Lily as the doctor tries to explain to the frenetic woman.
"Hanna, we all know that the chemical compounds in her blood are only destroying her nervous system; she probably didn't even realize that she was bleeding that badly. Remember that the drug gives her faster reflexes and helps her ability to focus, but it also destroys the receptors that control pain in her nervous system."
Lily sighs before looking at the young woman on the table, eyes clouding over as she continues.
"We know that it increased her sense of touch, smell, hearing, and sight but leaves her body without the ability to react to pain. We also know that it was used as a trigger to control her mind for a period of time. What would you have us do Hanna? She has to have infusions of the drug or her body will shut down. And there is the added problem of her the fact that her body is starting to produce it naturally now. She needed the shock to her system to keep her from overdosing on it so it was a mixed blessing at none of us wants to repeat."
Lily folds her arms before she shakes her head and remarks slowly.
"And it doesn't help that she is trying to perfect those lovely little neuro links that the mad doctor implanted in her."
Lily grits her teeth before looking back at Hanna. Hanna shivers as the blood drains from her face.
"We almost lost her didn't we?"
Lily nods before looking at Serenity again.
"We did."
Serenity for her part felt a twinge of guilt at listening to the two women worry, eyes opening as she sits up and pulls of the oxygen mask on her face.
"Don't give up on me yet. And we have visitors coming so let's prepare."
Lily and Hanna just stare at her for the moment.
Hero folds his arms over his chest as he waits impatiently for the other pilots to board the shuttle, eyes going to Wufie and Duo as they start up another shouting match at whose fault it was for being late. Hero sighs inwardly as he listens to the two.
"It isn't my fault that you couldn't ask for directions to where I was idiot."
Duo grits his teeth against the insult before growling back.
"Yeah well at least I knew that my woman was missing."
Wufie's eyes go wide before he glares at the other man, fist clenching as he grits his teeth and replies.
"Well I work with Sally and I don't have to know where she is every few hours."
Wufie smiles at that
and watches as Duo slowly tries to count to twenty, eyes closing
before he huffs and takes a seat finally.
"It doesn't matter
we just need to bring them back."
Wufie blinks at the sudden change of voice and posture in the former DeathScythe pilot. Trowa settles into the co pilot seat as Quatre takes the pilot seat.
"Enough arguing; we need to get moving if we want to catch up with them some time soon."
The rebuke was gentle but the words were hard as steel, not something that you normally find in the former SandRock pilot. Trowa only nods in agreement before he and Quatre prepare to take them to Relena's destination and the waiting members of Avalon colony's welcome comity.
Ok here is the next chapter and there you are the second part of the explanation for Serenity. I hope you enjoy it guys.
