-Chapter 2, Quatre and the mysterious girl-

Trowa walked into Quatre's room, "Hey Kat its good to see you awake. The way Athanasia spoke, I though you might me asleep."

"Nope, I keep getting told to but, I didn't feel right sleeping knowing everyone's here to see me," Quatre said with a small smile. "You look upset, what's wrong?"

"Nothing your pretty little head should be worried about," replied Trowa, he hoped his love would take the hint and leave it be for the time being.

"Aw, but this pretty little head is going to worry about that handsome one unless you talk to me," said Quatre with a pout.

"Now that's not fair," cried Trowa in disgust, "no one can resist your pout." Seeing that Kat smiled, Trowa sighed and said, "Fine. But you can't get too worked about this okay." When Quatre nodded Trowa continued to tell him what happened before, during and after Athanasia visited him.

"Thanatos? She is taking this a lot harder then I realized," said Quatre softly. "Trowa, I'm not blaming you but maybe you should have told them more then you did."

Trowa nodded, "I know. I just didn't want to speak out of turn."

With that Quatre laughed, it was only in the past few years that Trowa had opened up and spoke freely but even then he never said much, unless they where alone. "I know, and there is no since on dwelling on what ifs, what's done is done. Now we just have to support her and hope she doesn't self- destruct."

Trowa nodded and asked, "What about the others?"

"Let me two-step their questions and hope she approves." Said Quatre mildly, he knew that this would prove to be challenging but the others would be demanding answers and even though Trowa and Kat didn't have them all they couldn't afford to make a slip. 'She's promised me that she'll tell all soon. But when is soon?'

"Okay, I'll lay down some rules for them and then send them back one at a time. I'll come back tomorrow." And with that Trowa kissed Kat lightly on the forehead and left his room.

When he reentered the waiting room the other three pilots stood. Trowa raised his hand before they could question him and said, "Kat will answer your questions concerning Thanatos. You each have three questions. That does not include how are you?, can I get you anything?, so on and so forth. You can ask him more tomorrow but for today only three each."

They all nodded, and Duo asked, "Can I go see him now?"

With a nod form Trowa Duo left for Quatre's room. When he walked in his heart fell seeing his friend hooked up to so many machines. "Hey Kat, how ya doing?"

Quatre looked at the Deathscythe pilot and gave him a soft smile. He could tell Duo had to work on his cheerful tone and that it was hurting his friend to see him in such bad shape. "I'm doing pretty good considering. Please sit down Duo." Kat motioned to the chair next to the bed. After Duo sat down there was a moment of silence before Quatre said, "So what do you want to know?"

Duo just looked a Quatre for a moment, 'I'm glad he asked because I had no idea how to start.' "Well, how did you two meet?"

Quatre laid his head back into his pillow and closed his eyes for a moment before speaking. "It was five years ago, Trowa and I had a mission from Une to clean out some pockets of OZ resistances. They had stayed under the radar till recently and she didn't want another Marie-maia incident. So we went in with a fairly large team, and arrested the heads and sent the rest home with a large warning. It just so happened that one of them asked about their prisoner. I told Trowa and most of the team to leave and I would follow after I checked out this alleged prisoner. Well, they really did have a prisoner, and it was apparent that they tortured her recently. Heavy bruising, dried blood on the little bit of clothing she wore, and open sores on her body. It was awful. She was unconscious so I picked her up in the hope that I wasn't causing any more damage and brought her to the local hospital."

"So when the doctor wouldn't allow you to see her after they examined her you claimed to be her fiancée?" asked Duo shocked that this girl had gone through so much.

Quatre nodded, "Yes."

"And you two have been friends ever since?"

"Yes, we are quite close too." Quatre said with a smile. "She's a great girl; I hope she will open up to you guys."

Duo smiled, "That would be nice, but there can only be one Shinigami." They both laughed at this and then Duo said, "Well, I'll let one of the others in. I used my three questions."

"Okay, thanks for coming Duo," smiled Quatre sadly.

"Any time, just lets not make this a habit ok?" said Duo with a grin as he walked out the door. When he got back into the waiting room he chimed, "Next."

Wufei just rolled his eyes and walked past Duo towards Quatre's room. "Quatre, how are you feeling? Can I get you anything?"

"Not bad, and no thank you Wufei. Please sit, stay a wail." Quatre said with a grin.

Wufei nodded, and sat in the chair that was vacated by Duo not long ago. "So, Thanatos, she has a temper."

Quatre nodded, "Yes, yes she does. I think its part of her fighting spirit."

"So she's a worrier?" questions Wufei with a raised brow.

"Yes, very much so. I think you would find her quite a match. No one at the mansion can take her. I'm not sure what she's trained in, but from what I can tell there isn't much that she's not trained in." Quatre replied.

"Can she pilot a mobile suit?"

"Yes, but if you're implying that she might be the pilot of the alleged Red Wing Gundam that I can not confirm or deny. I still can't prove if there was ever a sixth Gundam." Quatre said firmly.

"Do you think she could take me?"

Quatre looked at his friend for a moment, "I'm not sure who would be the victor in such a match, but it would be invigorating."

Wufei nodded, knowing that his friend was not trying to save face but really thought it would be a good match. "Then I hope she will honor me in such a match. Now I have exhausted my questions, so I will leave you to Heero and then rest."

"Alright, sounds like a plan, thank you for visiting Wufei." Quatre said with a slight nod of his head.

Wufei walk out of the room with a wave over his shoulder and walked back to the waiting room, "Heero, you can see him now."

Heero nodded as he walked past the Chinese pilot and towards Quatre's room.

"Ah, Heero come in. Please sit down." Quatre said as soon as the Wing pilot walked in.

"Quatre..." started Heero but Quatre held up his hand to stop him.

"I'm fine thank you for asking, and I am doing well at the moment and do not need anything." Quatre said killing all pleasantries. "Now what do you want to ask of me?"

"Quatre? Why..." started Heero but again Quatre held up his hand to stop him.

"I know, but I didn't want to be asked one more time."

Heero nodded, "I understand. Very well then, Thanatos was her nickname during the war wasn't? Much like Duo calling himself Shinigami, correct?"

"Yes, from what she has told us she didn't have a name before the war. She's two years younger then us, but I am not going to say that she came through as an innocent. Just knowing that OZ held her prisoner for five years after the war is testament to that. I would be surprised if she didn't have blood on her hands." Quatre said sadly.

"But we do not know her part in the war." stated Heero.

"She has assured me that she will tell all of us soon, but soon has not been defined."

"What are your thoughts about her perhaps being a sixth gundam pilot?"

"Highly possible, even with her age. She is a highly skilled fighter, and a great stagiest. I think she might be even better then I am." Quatre said with such truth that it surprised Heero.

"But we have no evidence of another pilot." Heero stated.

"Not unless you have found something and haven't clued the rest of us in." Quatre chuckled, he saw that Heero's statements where just well phrased questions.

Heero raised an eyebrow, he realized that Quatre knew what he was doing but wasn't going to call him on it. "So if she is the elusive sixth pilot she had cleared her tracks well. Which lead me to believe that she must also be a hacker."

Quatre nodded, "Yes I've had more then one call from Une about a hacker in the system but she couldn't find them, but she also couldn't explain why her calls ended up at the mansion when she was trying to call Duo or you to tail the hacker. Thanatos was there for the last call I received about the matter and after Une had ended the transmission she told me that she was the mysterious hacker and that she was only detected because she wanted to be. Two weeks later she installed the new security on the system that Duo has yet to hack into. How about you?"

Heero frowned, "Every time I get close to finding the smallest of cracks the system boots me out and I can't find it again. It's impenetrable as of yet. But I'm not going to give up."

Quatre smiled, "Good, I'd like to see her get beat. So far she is an undefeatable fighter, and undetectable hacker, and a genius when it comes to strategy. It's almost like she could have been pulling our strings during the war and we wouldn't have even known. Maybe even the doctors too."

"You really think that's possible?" questions Heero intrigued.

"Possible yes, probable I'm not sure. Her age playing the major questioning role, how could five adult men in good consciousness persist a thirteen- year-old girl's orders? Unless they by chance created a super human, but that seems unlikely. There are people who have the brain power to do anything but if she is one she would still be only thirteen years old and by no mean prepared for war."

Heero nodded, "Thank you Quatre, now get some rest. I want you back on you feet ASAP."

"Yes sir." said Quatre with a grin. And with that Quatre was left to his wandering mind and his pillow.
