2.1 Five Pilots and a Girl
By catnips_ph
3 CHAPTER SEVEN
Over the weeks that followed, Lizzy had comfortably settled in the lives of the pilots. From time to time, she went out of the hideout and sometimes out of the colony to take the newest information for the gundam designs. She meets with other spies of the colony like her. In those missions, Duo would always accompany her if he was available.
As for the pilots, she had gotten used to Heero's death glare every time he caught her inside his gundam, to Duo's happy-go-lucky attitude, to Trowa's silent outlook, to Quatre's gentle ways and to Wufei's curses which are unfortunately always directed to her and Duo. Of all the pilots, she had gotten close to Duo and Quatre though it is more of Duo especially since they were tagged as partners in crime when it comes to prank jokes directed to their co-pilots. Their favorite target: Wufei.
Lizzy also had a hard time where Quatre is concerned. She can't shake the guilty feeling every time she looks into Quatre's aqua eyes and she feared the day when she has to tell all of it to him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day, while all the pilots are in a three-day mission, Lizzy received a call from Dr Reeds. He was interested on how she was coping with the others. She told him that she had settled comfortably with them and that the Dr had nothing to worry about.
"Have they tried to touch you?" the Dr asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Lizzy was puzzled by the Dr's question. "What do you mean Dr Reeds?"
"Don't play dumb on me Lizzy. You are the only girl in the group and I want to find out if they had in any point or time if one of them has tried to touch you intimately." He was obviously worried.
Lizzy was astonished. She couldn't possibly imagine just how could the Dr thought of such rubbish. "Goodness Dr. No! How could you think of that? They only think of me as a comrade or as friend but nothing more than that!"
"Ah, perhaps it's too soon to tell." The Dr said pensively.
"What?" Lizzy whispered aghast. "Dr please, the pilots are not that kind of person. They are not … they are not like Oz." She was about to tell him about Kenji but held her tongue.
"They are men Lizzy. Even if you think they are just boys, you have to understand that they are still men. Men who have seen war and do you know what they do in times of war? They want comfort and anything that would make them forget of reality. They go to whorehouses or they rape women – "
" – Dr please!" Lizzy cut in. "They are not like that! They will not do anything that would hurt the others or me! Why are you so worried? Have they done that in the past?"
"No Lizzy. They don't have records of that sort. It's just that … it's just that I'm leaving the colony in 2 months and I will be assigned in Earth for a very special mission. A mission that I can't possibly tell you. You will be left in the care of Dr Masbi, also a colleague of ours. He will be in- charge of you from that time on."
Lizzy felt that Dr Reeds and this Dr Masbi are not on very good terms. He seems very hesitant to leave her to his care.
"Lizzy, I won't have any communication with you from that time on and I want to know right now if you are having any problems with the pilots so that I can assign you elsewhere."
So that's it!, Lizzy thought. And it saddened her to think that she won't be seeing the good Dr in two months time. She knew it isn't right to be very emotional especially in time of war. But…
"Please Dr Reeds, don't worry. I'm in good company. I know I am. And besides, this is the only way that I know of to redeem myself of the things I did while I was an Oz mole. I assure you that they won't touch me as well. I'm clearly not their type Doc. There is nothing beautiful about me. Except for my brains I guess." She smiled to that.
Dr Reeds sighed. "You are underestimating yourself Lizzy. You happen to be beautiful not only in the outside but also in the inside which makes you more vulnerable to men. What makes you think that Kenji is obsessed with you in the first place? All the other beautiful ladies couldn't possibly snag him except you because your beauty comes from inside. And that is what worries me. You are like sunshine in that place. And those boys who have probably lost their faith will turn to you for light. And that light is something, I feared, might be taken to you by force if you're not willing to give it."
Lizzy was first shocked that Dr Reeds knew of Kenji's feelings for her. Then next was what he said to her. Light? What light? "I'm sorry Dr but I don't understand."
"You will understand in time Lizzy. But by that time it might be too late." The Dr then told her of another mission to get information in a nearby colony a week from now. That kind of information is too valuable to send it through email. With a sad heart, the Dr said goodbye to Lizzy. By light, he meant her heart. There is nothing more beautiful in Lizzy than her heart. He feared that the pilots will be taken to her and would own her by force. Another scenario would be the destruction of the pilots' camaraderie. If Lizzy chose one of them, then that would create jealousy and distrust in the group thus breaking the trust and friendship which makes the team untouchable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lizzy was puzzled to what the Dr was saying. Her? Be involved in one of the pilots? She laughed to that. She can't imagine one of them in love with her. But does she imagine herself in love with one of them?
This led her to think of her relationship with each one of them.
Heero. Definitely cold to her but these past few days, he seemed to have mellow down on her. He doesn't glare too often. Most often he would glare at her if he knows that she is conniving with Duo for another prank joke. He isn't the type to fell for her especially when she met Relena during her second week stay. The girl was hostile to her who sees her as a competition. She pities her.
Duo. Ah Duo is definitely her partner in crime. She is very close to him yes but not intimately. But then, there are situations that they are intimate like they hug each other or hold hands or sometimes just sit together and do nothing. She felt that he thinks of her as a sister. And besides, she knows of the fact that Duo is a big flirt in the house. Plus the fact that Duo seems to be in love with Quatre who happens to like Trowa more. She sighed deeply. Could it be that they are all gays? She laughed to that. Well maybe all except for Wufei. Heero, though he thinks is very good in hiding his feelings seem to have a crush on Shinigami. As for Trowa, he seems to like the Sandrock pilot as well.
Trowa. There are times when she seemed to be taken into his green eyes. He was like a phantom that has to be solved. As for Lizzy, it is what intrigues her. Of all the pilots, she admits that Trowa puzzles her. But beyond his mask, they knew that he is a real person with probably a very dark past. He is also a very good friend though he doesn't show it much. She wonders what Quatre sees in him. Probably they both see his good qualities beyond his face.
Quatre. Admittedly, she likes Quatre but she feared that if she gets close to him, she might tell him the truth ultimately destroying their friendship. He happens to be the boy of her dreams that's true but the guilt prevents her from totally falling in love with him. And besides, he likes Trowa. It just makes her sometimes mad at him every time he is sweet on her. Duo he can tolerate but once Quatre goes sweet on her, her heart goes thumping and she gets nasty on him. It sometimes causes Quatre to frown at her and led to stay a good three feet away from her most of the time.
Wufei. Her enemy and foe when it comes to their room. But lately he has been tolerating her which led her to think of more ways to annoy him. Clearly she likes it when Wufei is mad at her which makes her a good partner of Duo. They both feel the same for Wufei. They both knew that Wufei will not really carry out his plan of killing them which makes the jokes more exciting everyday. It was a way of releasing the fear and tension in Duo's point of view. For Lizzy, it's just the fun of the game. For Wufei, it is one way of showing emotions and releasing the stress after a hard day's work. In the end, they are all playing a child's game in which the other pilots sometimes join them. Wufie seemed to be immune to her and Duo when they sometimes flirt with him though it sometimes led to nosebleeds on Wufei's part. She laughed to that.
She heard the door creaked open. They're home!
