Chapter 4: The Cure (Secret's from her Past)

Relena frowned as she let her hands wander around looking for a suitable outfit in the closet of clothing offered to the girls as a hospitality gift from Lethe for them to get out of her dirty clothes and the same for Sally and Lady Une. The boys decided against changing, perfectly fine with what they were wearing.

They went into the bathroom to change together with the boys guarding the door. When Relena came out, she was wearing a blue dress similar to the one she wore on her birthday party when Heero tried to kill her with his Wing Gundam, but ended up saving her. She tried her hair back in its usual style during the war.

Sally was wearing a green dress that went down to her knees. A sheer fabric was placed over it to give it a more exotic look, like a wood fairy.

Lady Une had picked out a wonderfully rich red dress that was tight, but stopped at the thighs and then came out flowingly (like those dresses when you spin, they come twirling out around you) with a small bow in the back.

"Wow. Took you long enough. That has to be a world record." Wufei snorted and began to walk towards the door and noticed it was unlocked.

"Ready?" Quatre asked. He reached out his hand, incase any of the lady's wanted an escort.

None of the other lady's took his hand, but then Relena did. "Thanks." She let out a weak smile.

"Don't worry, Relena." Duo said, and put a hand on her shoulder. "We're already working on it. Leave it to us." He smiled cheerfully which made Relena break into a big smile.

They walked out of the room, soldiers accompanying them down to the dining hall where Lethe and Heero were waiting.

They opened the door and saw Heero in what he was wearing when they recently saw him back in the room. Lethe was wearing a white gown. "Ah, welcome!" Lethe said cheerfully. Her chair was very close to Heero's, but he didn't seem to notice, Relena did though. "Take a seat." She said, but it sounded more like a command.

Some soldiers came in with plates of food and placed them on the table. They looked at the food. "I assure you that none of this is sedated or poisoned in any manor. You lot are much too valuable to kill yet."

They ate some of the food. After about thirty minutes of silence, Heero stood up and left the room, without a second glance at any of the people in the room, even Lethe.

"So this is how he was during the war?" Quatre whispered over to Trowa.

He gave a slight nod. "I think. Relena was the first to meet him when he came down to earth besides Zech's."

"Oh." Quatre said and looked down at his plate.

"Well. You lot are more boring than I thought you would be." Lethe chuckled and then continued to eat her French toast and bacon.

Sally banged her hand on the table. "We are NOT here for your entertainment." She said sharply.

"'That so?" Lethe said, taking a bite of French toast. She swallowed it and then looked at them. "I would think not, too, but I have my orders. Besides, I only get Heero for another day or two." She said.

"What do you mean by that?" Relena asked.

"Oh, you see. Remember that transition I made the first time I met with you all?" Lethe replied. They all nodded. How could they forget her and her annoying ways? "Well, I told you about the organization that trained our perfect soldier here. They want him back, and they have supplied us with a lot of stuff. The colonies won't be oppressed anymore." She stated simply and took some eggs and put them on a new plate so as not to get them soggy with syrup.

"The colonies aren't oppressed!" Lady Une shouted to the other side of the table where Lethe sat, eating her breakfast.

Lethe glared at her, usually she was nice to them, either in a mocking tone, or for real, but she had a new fire in her eyes. "They aren't oppressed anymore by arms, now its something else. What would an Earth-born know about this?" She asked sharply.

"I'm not an Earth-born." Lady Une said. The others looked in amazement. Everyone thought that she was born on Earth. "I was a colonist and a spy for the Allies. I believe I met Trowa when he and I were little." She stated.

Trowa looked at her, confused. "What?" He asked.

"Then you're a traitor. So, Trowa, do you know her royal highnesses doll?" Lethe retorted.

"I'm Middie Une." Lady Une said.

Trowa looked at her. "You're the one who gave me that cross and spied for the people I worked with. You got them all killed except me." He stated, with no emotion. Recollecting the memory. His words still etched into his mind. How could he forget them?

"Wait...No-Name, wait!" Middie cried to the figure of a young boy with brunet hair and green eyes. He didn't turn to look at her when he spoke.

"You've got the wrong guy. I'm not No-Name." He said, looking up at the sky. "I'm a traveler looking for a place to go home..." So he set off for outer space.

Lady Une nodded her head. "Yes, I had a family. A sick father and two sibling." She said sadly. "I had to work and they paid me well enough to get food and stuff for them." Lady Une looked at Lethe. "I'm not a traitor."

"Well, you had to be part of Trowa's squad so you had to be with them and you were a spy, so you admit it, you are a traitor, and you abandoned the colonies and went to fight AGAINST them." She snarled back.

"I-I..." Lady Une stuttered as she wrung the napkin in her lap. Sighing heavily, Une refused to hang her head or let defeat show across her face. Although, she did have a point.

Relena, who had been staying quiet stood up, and left. A guard was about to follow her, but then stopped when Lethe told him not to.

"She's no threat any ways." She stated and the guard sat down back on the chair. "She might as well have a mental break down, I mean." She snickered, then turned back to finish eating her eggs and get some sausage and some syrup to dip it in.

Relena turned down the hallway. She wandered around the building. She stopped when she found the medical center and sneaked in. "There has to be something here. She said that they drugged him." She murmured and then looked around. She found a shot that had a clear liquid in it and then next to it were some notes. They included what they did to Heero, and that was the neutralizer. "Yes." She applauded her work, and quickly left the lap, putting the cap on he needle so as she wouldn't jab herself. She put it into a pocket in the dress and went around in search of Heero's room.

Music sounds came from a room and Relena opened it to find a sleeping Heero, with his arms behind his head, and the CD player was playing loudly, it was Evanescence playing 'Tourniquet'.

It blasted loudly in the room, the bass thumping as it pulsed with Relena's heart beat. The tempo was incredible, making her close her eyes for a moment at the hauntingly sweet band.

She opened her eyes and smiled when her eyes drifted to Heero lying peacefully on the bed. 'Wow! He looks so peaceful whenever he's asleep. Wait! What am I thinking! I've got to get him this antidote. I destroyed the lab crap and all that junk that did this to him, so they can't do it again. Please let this work!' She pleaded silently in her head as she crept alongside the bed, luckily, the music blasted it so loud that her movements couldn't be heard. Now it played 'Going Under'.

"Now I will tell you what I've done for you.

50, 000 tears I've cried,

Screaming and deceiving, and bleeding, and you still won't hear me!

I'm going under...

Don't want to end this time I'll save myself.

Maybe you'll wake up for once.

Now tormented daily the defeated by you.

Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom!

I—I dying again!

I'm going under, (going under) drowning with you! (Drowning with you)

I'm falling forever! (Forever)."

She decided that she liked this song and shook her head, golden tresses spilling like honey around her as she tried to clear her head and concentrate. She took a deep breath, holding it as her tongue made it's way out of her mouth into a concentated poiting at the corner of her lips. She delicately turned his head and then put it in his neck.

His eyes shot open, and the cold look slowly faded as she injected the contents into his body. He closed his eyes and then his body went limp. His chest rose and fell slightly and then she quickly went back to the girls and Gundam pilots room.

Carrying Heero, she opened the door quickly, avoiding the other guards, with the limp Heero beside her. She had his arm around her neck so he would get some balance to stay up. She rushed into the room. The others were already there.

"Wha-Relena!" Duo shouted as he saw the limp form of 01's pilot. "What did you do?"

"I got him the antidote. "She stated simply. "We have to get out of here."

"Yeah, we do! The company that trained Heero is coming today in about two hours!" Relena placed Heero on a bed and he groaned and a streak of crimson was growing larger over the bandages on his torso.

"Oh no! I must have dragged him in the wrong angle!" She cried as she saw the now once again reopened wounds. His breath was getting labored and a fever had broken out. He groaned again.

"He's not strong enough to fight off the drug they used on him. We have to get him back to..." Sally Po stopped and everyone listened intently, they heard footsteps click and clack down the corridor.

"Hide him!" Lady Une hissed. Trowa picked up Heero and then put him on the floor so that the beds and their mattresses hid him.

The door opened and everyone held his or her breath.
