Duo stepped into the room and four pairs of eyes immediately locked onto his figure. He was still carrying Megumi, that girl he'd saved from the lab.

"Did you put up your shields, Quatre?" he asked sitting down on the couch opposite the others and laying Megumi's head in his lap.

Quatre's mouth fell open. "How did-?"

"I know? I just figured out that you're an empath with a 'Space Heart'. Go figure. . . I just know a lot of stuff about empaths. . .enough to know that they can put up shields that can protect them from anything that's mental and emotional from other beings. . . heck, they can even protect themselves from themselves!"

Suddenly, Megumi started moving, her eyes opening. They were blurry but she blinked that away to see a familiar face looking down at her.

"Shin? Brother, is that you?" she asked, reaching up to touch his face. Duo smiled warmly at her.

"Yeah Meggie. It's me. You're safe now. . ."

"BROTHER?!" the other Gundam pilots exclaimed. Quatre, who'd been taking a sip of his water, choked and had a coughing fit. Trowa patted him on the back, not even bothering to take his eyes off of Duo and his so called sister. It was too shocking.

Sorry for the delay. . . and the short chapters. . .
