The next day Relena spent sitting by Heero's bedside. Well, in all honesty he was no longer Heero Yuy. The man before her was totally different from the perfect solider that had fought and single handedly saved the world and the colonies.
Ryo was in most aspects Heero's opposite. Where Heero would be silent and brooding, Ryo enjoyed company. The deep Prussian eyes that had always bore deep into her soul every time Heero would look at her were still the same. Everything on the outside remained the perfect solider; however Relena knew that the new Heero Yuy would be unable to fight.
After doing a great amount of digging and listening to Ryo, they had been able to understand a few things. Piecing together the life of Heero before he became the perfect solider only made her love him even more.
Growing up Ryo only had his mother. When she became ill, little Ryo took care of her. Doctors had told him that his mother was going to die and even went so far as to put her into a home for the ill. It was on that way a younger Dr. J met a distressed and angry Ryo.
Promised that his mother and he would be taken care of, he agreed to join the highly secretive organization Dr. J headed. After entering the program, Ryo could recount very little after that. Few memories of what was done to him during the training sessions, only memories of his mother's condition getting worse by the day.
After speaking with Sally and other doctors they all agreed that Ryo's subconscious was able to break away from the work he was forced to do. He became the alternate persona of Heero Yuy because he lost the memories that made him Ryo. Relena's heart broke when she finally understood why Heero always felt lost and that he had nothing to loose in battle. He had been so lost about his past before and now he was just as lost as he was before.
Not knowing what to do for him, Relena decided to sit at his side until they could figure things out. At the moment Ryo was peacefully sleeping in his hospital bed. After he had talked about himself and his mother, Ryo had surprised her when he had begun to ask about what he was like before the mission that caused his memory to slip. As she began to recount the many stories of their shared past, she couldn't help but notice the shock and horror that was painted on his face.
The gundams, the wars, fighting each other, death of millions, and the thought of threatening someone as nice and kind as Relena were just too much for him to absorb in a sitting. The reaction from the woman at his side also unnerved him. She had somehow been able to see past the evil person this Heero Yuy was, and she cared for him to a degree that almost upset him.
'Why would she risk her life to stay near a killer? A heartless murderer? I'm... I'm the murderer who did all that...' His mind questioned him as he attempted to sleep. In all honesty, the beautiful woman named Relena had tried to hide most of the horrible facts from him; however things would slip like how he shot down a shuttle of innocent people while piloting his gundam. Or the times he and her brother would fight with the intentions of killing each other.
These thoughts and the lull of sleep both came to an abrupt halt when the building's alarms began to blare. Nearly jumping from his bed, and aggravating every injury he had sustained, the perfect solider could only sit there and hear the sounds of screams as the building shook.
The doors to his room burst open and a man with long blonde hair and another with a braid came running in.
"What? What is going on?" A confused and somewhat frightened Ryo asked as the blonde pulled Relena aside for a moment. While he did that, the man with the braid and funny smile began to pull back the sheets of the bed. "Hey!"
"Calm down there buddy. We're friends remember... oh wait I guess you don't do you." The braided man said scratching his head. "Well it's not like I was going to do anything to you- we just need to get you out of here is all."
There wasn't much that the injured man could do as he was pulled to his feet and quickly removed from the hospital wing all together. After a while the blonde man came to his other side and helped bare some of his weight with man named Maxwell. Together they carried him deeper into tunnels with Relena right behind. He couldn't help worry as the building once again shook with explosions around them.
"Will someone please tell me what's going on around here?" He asked as he was finally set down in a room without windows and a heavily barricaded door. Relena was there in an instant and was trying her best to soothe him. But nothing anyone could say would allow his heart from not pounding with fright.
"We'll return as soon as we can. I've sent Noin away from here at the moment, are you sure you want to stay Relena?" Millardo asked as he turned back before running off down the hallway with Duo.
"I will never leave his side. We'll be fine down here. And if anything happens, we'll call you on the communicator you gave me." She said sitting down at Ryo's side showing her final decision.
"Give it up. This overprotective big brother routine is getting really annoying Blondie." Duo shouted. "We need to do less talking and more fighting with the other guys outside."
Millardo knew that Maxwell was right, like he was going to tell that moron that... he would never hear the end of the bragging. Instead, he merely nodded and turned to follow the other man.

"What is happening?" His deep Prussian eyes asked, no pleaded to know. Relena was unable to do or say anything that could stop his heart from feeling pain. She felt horrible that at a time like this she was unable to save him or do anything for him. Had their situations been reversed, Heero would have risked his life to make sure she felt no physical pain or threat. Yet now, when he was in danger all she could do was hold his hand like he was still the strong one.
"Don't worry about it. Things will be alright."
"How your eyes say something very different?" He asked in a saddened tone. "Why won't anyone tell me who is attacking, or why they are trying so badly to hurt me? What did I do?" Stopping himself before his emotions overcame him, Ryo felt desperation and fear muddle inside.
Bringing his hand to her lips, Relena gave him a small smile. "Don't worry Ryo; I will not let anything happen to you. These people are out trying to reconcile an old grudge that should have been ended the moment you saved the world and peace. You've done so much good for others, given so much hope to many, and been a hero and a savior; these people are in the wrong. And your friends are willing to do whatever it takes to keep you safe, even if you don't remember us."
Her words would have been convincing if it were not for the continued explosions rattling the very foundation of the compound.

A/N:
With Heero's "real" name, coming up with a good name is harder than it sounds. After going through many different names and words with meanings, I just couldn't find anything that suited him. I got the name Ryo from a previous GW fic I wrote. I also kind of like the name Ryo personally for a few reasons... Anyway, I'll be back some time in the next week with another update- so keep your eyes posted for it. Also thank you for the reviews once again. Can't stress how much I like to hear them!
That's it for now-
