The face that peered out for behind a curtain of dark hair was that of a
girl around 15 years of age. She looked confused and very scared but then
again wouldn't you be if you just fell out of a bubble practically naked in
front of a group of people you'd never seen before? She looked around
obviously very disorientated and tried to stand.
She immediately dropped back down to her hands and knees and vomited the same clear substance that came out of the bubble all over the floor. She was dressed only in only simple white clothing that was obviously made for a child much smaller than she.
She continued to whimper and tried again to stand but this time just before she fell Quatre ran forwards and caught her. As soon as he touched her she collapsed into his arms. Quatre looked around in panic and shouted at J to get over here and help.
Instead of J moving Heero walked forward scooped the girl up out of Quatre's arms into his own, turned and walked off back into the building. The rest of the pilots stood there in shock. Usually Heero would never have picked up someone and tried to help them he kept himself to himself and looked after only one person. Himself.

"Who is she?" asked Duo.
"It's a very long story . Her name is Taryn. She's my .. Daughter well I say daughter but really she's my experiment. I made her. She's got some of my DNA and the DNA of lots of different people she also has some of Heero's to make sure they would bond that's why he's looking after her because in a way he's looking after a piece of him. She's needed to work the wing system, without her it would be like any other piece of basic machinery." "She joins you with it you and the machine become one by using her. I found it worked so well clones were made of Taryn and sent to the makers of all your gundams. They installed it in your gundams and added a clone." "Then when you passed the point when you didn't need them anymore they were liquidated, but Wing had the original and I couldn't just kill a person off so she lives."(1)
As the pilots turned their attention away from J and walked towards the door that Heero had taken Taryn through. When they got to the main room they saw Heero standing beside a table which he had laid Taryn on just staring at her. It was strange watching him as he seemed to wrapped up in his own thoughts to notice them. Slowly he brought his hand up and brushed her hair away from her face. All of the other pilots gaped at Heero for displaying such a gentle tender gesture. He heard them and pulled his hand away and sat on a chair far away from Taryn.
Duo cleared his throat in the silence which followed before saying "She cant stay in those clothes I have a spare T-shirt with me and Heero you have some spare jeans don't you? I know they wont fit very well and that my shirt has a picture of Deathscythe on it but its better than what she's wearing now." "I agree, I will send her shopping for her own clothes as soon as she has settled in more." Answered J. Suddenly a bleeping sound resonated around the room. J ran across the room and picked up the handset. "Hello? Yes yes they are here . of course . ok .. Yes I will tell them . no its ok . yes . Taryn is out so they all passed. she's ok . yes . they will be there in under an hour. Ok .. bye."
He replaced the handset and turned to face the pilots and said
"Your needed in Japan. There is a large nuclear warhead being transported and we have been informed that OZ plan to intercept and steal it to use against the colonies."
With this all five pilots literally sprinted from the room giving Taryn only a small glance over their shoulders before they tore out the door and took off in their gundams for Japan.
(1) He could have morals you know! He doesn't have to kill off people and hey. she is related!
