Why Duo? Pt 3
Mickey watched the boy reach for something and he realized it was a gun.
"Hey relax, I brought you here, you're safe." Mickey told him trying to calm him down.
"Maybe you'd better tell us what happened?" Venus told Mickey.
The boy was in no shape to run and he had settled down since Mickey spoke. Everyone started at Michelangelo wanting to know. Mickey glanced at the boy first, noting the curiosity in the violet eyes.
After Mickey finished his story Splinter turned to the boy.
Duo felt their eyes now on him and decided to tell then the truth. After all if he told Heero he talked to five mutant turtles and a mutant rat Heero would check him into a mental institution, not kill him.
"My name is Duo Maxwell. I'm the pilot of Gundam DeathScytheHell, I was escaping from an OZ base."
"You're a Gundam pilot?" Venus asked.
Duo was thankful they had introduced themselves before asking him his story.
"Yeah I am." Duo said, wondering how many times he would get asked that in one day.
Venus finished treating his wounds just as his stomach growled.
"We'd offer you some pizza, but after you and Mickey killed our pizzas and we're out of food." Donny told him.
"Oh I'm sorry." Duo said, exhaustion and hunger making him act like Quatre.
"Why don't we just order more?" Mickey asked, now that he had stopped being nervous he was hungry again.
Raph was ahead of him and had already called. Raph also moved to get the pizzas himself.
Duo tried to shift to make himself more comfortable, hissing when he felt the bullet wound connect with something.
"You really should go to a hospital." Venus told him.
"Can't." he responded.
"Why not?"
"Yeah I can see this. Hi, I'm 02, and I got shot after calling Treize from an OZ base. Can you treat me without telling OZ?" Duo said sarcastically.
"Oh yeah." Venus said, realizing they had a wanted person with them.
"How old are you" Leo asked.
"15." Duo answered sleepily. His exhaustion won over his hunger. He may be a Gundam pilot, but he was no perfect soldier.

"Are you sure it's safe to have him here?" Leo asked Splinter.
"Yes I'm sure." The rat answered.
"But why?" Donny asked.
"He has no reason to betray us."
"But he's a criminal."
"Yes, but he's doing what he thinks is right." Splinter explained, his pupils seemed satisfied with that.
*~* 20 minutes later *~*
The pizzas arrived and Mikey went to wake up Duo. Even before he reached the boy he was awake and sitting up.
After stuffing himself, something else came to Duo's mind. He needed to get in contact with Heero. He should have checked in several hours ago, just as soon as he left the base.
He went to move off the couch, since Venus had brought his food to him, and was stopped when he felt his braid move. The boy had forgotten about the pizza sauce, Leo was the only one in the room so he called him for help.
"Hey Leo, is there anyway I can take a shower?"
The turtle stared at him for a second.
"I have pizza sauce in my hair." Duo explained.
Leo helped him to the shower, after checking to see if there was shampoo and conditioner, then left.
Duo wondered for a second why a group of turtles would have shampoo, then he remember Splinter. Duo turned on the water and un-braided his hair, placing the lock picks in a soap holder. Hissing in pain every time water hit his wounds, he managed to get his hair clean. He wrapped a towel round his hair and got dressed in his now clean clothes. Someone had gotten them cleaned while he was in the shower and mended the bullet hole.
He finally came out an hour later, just as Leo was getting ready to go in and check on him.
"Venus thought you may want this." Leo told him and handed the boy a brush.
"Um, I think I'm going to need someone to do it for me when it dries a little more." Duo said. He shoulder had begun to get stiff. His eyes again went to Donny's computer.
"Do you mind if I contact someone?" he asked the turtle.
Donny let him on it and he logged into Zerobase and went to compose an e- mail.
TO: H_Wing@Zerobase.com
CC: T_Arms@Zerobase.com, W_Long@Zerobase.com, Q_Sand@Zerobase.com
FROM: D_Hell@Zerobase.com
SUBJECT: Urgent, Help
MESSAGE: Need help, Shot by OZ
Duo sent it and prayed.
A few second later something came back:
TO: D_Hell@Zerobase.com
Error unable to send to H_Wing@Zerobase.com,T_Arms@Zerobase.com, W_Long@Zerobase.com, Q_Sand@Zerobase.com

"What the hell?" Duo muttered.
Donny looked over the boys shoulder. "Did you send it to the wrong e-mail addresses?" the turtle wondered.
"I'm sure they're right, let me try this."

Duo typed the same message and sent it with the same result. He glanced that the turtle who shrugged. He then tried his last ditch effort.

Message: I surrender, just tell me where to go.
Duo sent that and prayed. After all if he got captured Heero or someone would save him, not being able to find anyone scared him. It came back with the same error message.
Duo found a chair and sat down. The room had started to spin.
"Relax you're still hurt." Mickey said.
"By the way, how much blood did I lose?" Duo asked.
"Too much." Venus told him.
He could tell and decided to rest more. It was as if he was the only person left that knew what a Gundam was.
