Five Pilots and a Girl
By catnips_ph
CHAPTER ELEVEN
Duo, Heero and Lizzy was able to arrive safely at the secret hideout. Quatre hugged both Duo and Lizzy for their safe return. He just gave Heero a nod. They then went upstairs to clean up. Heero, Trowa and Wufei were left in the hangar.
"How did it go?" Trowa asked Heero quietly.
"It went off without a hitch."
Trowa raised an eyebrow. "There was not much resistance?"
Heero grunted. "Looks like Lizzy knew the base too damn well." With that, he left the two amazed. They knew by Heero's expression that something was not right. In fact, they pity the girl for they saw in Heero's eyes a storm brewing up. They also headed up following Heero. They wouldn't want to miss anything that could very well be a revelation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ouch! Hey! Can't you go soft and easy on me?" Duo was whining all the while Quatre and Lizzy were giving him his medication. "Look here you two. I'm not dead yet so it means I'm not impartial to the pain - ouch!"
Quatre grinned lazily. "Geez Duo. And here I thought you were merely acting. Didn't you said to me once that you do not fear anything?"
Duo whined again. "Very funny Q-man. Just wait till I get better and you'll see what I'm talking about!"
"Well," Lizzy sighed. "That's about it, Duo-chan. It's up to Mother Nature now to heal your wounds plus your damn discipline to restrain yourself on getting hurt."
Duo, though cheerful in person, cannot mistake the look in Lizzy's eyes. He wasn't a gundam pilot for nothing. Quatre noticed it too. Lizzy was not in her usual good self. There was something missing. Duo voiced out both of their concern, "Did something happen back there, love?"
Lizzy immediately snapped out of her reverie. "N-nothing. Geez Duo-chan. It's not as if I would break on my first rescue mission!" She tried to put out a smug look but she knew that both Duo and Quatre are not buying it. Damn!
Duo surprised her by cupping her face with his good hand. "Look love, you don't have anything to hide from me." Lizzy took his hand with her own and looked at him straight in the eye.
"Duo, just get some rest. You are just seeing things you know."
"Leave him alone Lizzy," Heero said in his monotone voice. He was standing in the doorway with Trowa and Wufei. "He doesn't really know what he's doing. We need to talk. I want you downstairs in the living room now."
Damn that Heero!, Lizzy said to herself. Now everyone knows that something is amiss. What could that jerk possibly want now? Isn't he happy that we are able to save his precious Duo?
Lizzy kept ranting curses to Heero in her mind as she went downstairs. Surprisingly, the others didn't follow them but she knew that they are just behind the corner, listening. She wondered if Duo is with them.
Heero's back was to her as she stood up behind him a good five feet away from him. She crossed her arms in front of her more like a shield of what Heero was going to give her. She felt a storm coming in fast. If she doesn't play her cards right, she would definitely be dead even before she could say gundam.
Then Heero faced her. If she was afraid, she didn't show it. Good girl, Heero thought. But it made her all the more suspicious.
"How did you manage to pull it off?"
One question. That is all it needs for Lizzy to know that she will not escape unless she had given him a satisfying answer. Heero is clearly suspicious about her being an enemy.
"I told you before Heero, I used to be a spy and I know that base like the back of my hand."
Silence. Looks like she is going to do all the talking until he is satisfied.
"I don't know why you're doing this Heero. Obviously you're just annoyed that I'm actually more of an expert on this mission than you." No response. Hell, Lizzy wondered if she should have said that at all. But she's a woman. She tends to be emotional sometimes. She decided to continue.
"I've been a spy for Oz for a year. I worked also as a mechanic in that area. As you know, that base is said to be one of the best breeding ground of Oz soldiers." Not to mention the Project Mole, she said to herself.
"How could a mere mechanic know the ins and outs of that area? You don't have access on such information."
"I wasn't able to get that information by being a mechanic yes. I have other sources of information." The urge to hit him hard was making her dizzy.
"Let me guess. You slept with all the high ranking officials to get their password and the blueprint of the area." It wasn't a question. It was more of a statement.
Lizzy swore that she heard a gasp somewhere. Probably Quatre. But she is quite startled that it seemed like Heero is actually more upset that she might have been 'sleeping' with the enemy rather than her actually being a traitor against them. The latter was what she feared. But now, she doesn't know whether she would laugh at that or just hit him where it hurts.
"Excuse me?" she said incredously. "You are such a dimwit Heero!" she snarled. She knows that starting a fight with the perfect soldier means death but she doesn't care anymore. "How the hell could you be such a pea brain all of sudden? And I thought you were the perfect soldier! Well to inform you Spandex Boy (she heard him Duo said it before and it irritated Heero very much), I also hack information. I'm a world-class hacker maybe even better than you! Getting info from inside is much better and easier than doing it outside!" She could feel steam coming out from her head. "And as to whether I'm sleeping with the enemy to get favors and information, you Heero of all people should know that I'm not like that."
The look Lizzy gave him clearly tells of the incident that happened in the apartment. He should be able to tell that it was her first time to actually have such an encounter like that.
Just then, Heero pulled out his gun and point it right between her eyes. But she didn't feel threatened at all. Heero was about to retort when a beeping sound was heard from above. It's from Heero's laptop and it meant either a mission or a message from Dr. J. "We will continue this when I get back," he said with a threat in his voice. And so Heero hurriedly went upstairs, passing by the stairs a startled Quatre and two indifferent Trowa and Wufei. Duo was at the landing upstairs but he could probably have heard it all with the entire racket Lizzy was making.
Lizzy on the other hand sat on the sofa and hugged herself. She was shaking badly when Quatre sat down beside her and gave her some of his warmth by wrapping his arms around her.
"Shh, Lizzy. It's over now," Quatre said while smoothing her back. Lizzy can't help it and cried on Quatre's shoulder. She also wrapped her arms around him and let all her worries be washed away by tears. She knew that Quatre's shirt must be soaking wet by now but she doesn't care. It was very typical of Quatre to offer a shoulder to cry on.
It was after some time that Lizzy finally stopped. But that was after she heard Trowa silently approached them and told them that he, Wufei and Heero will be out for two to three days on a mission.
With teary eyes, she looked at Quatre's handsome face. She could be lost in those sky blue eyes. But this is Quatre, whose father she had killed.
"Is anything wrong Lizzy?" He could have sworn she had melted right before him then hardened her expression in the next instant. Had he scared her?
"N-no. Nothing's wrong Quatre," then she bowed her head. She can't bear to look at him. How on earth could she possibly look at those innocent eyes?
But Quatre was persistent. He held her chin and made her look up at him. But she looked away. "Why Lizzy? Why do you distance yourself from me? Don't deny that you always were very distant to me. Do I scare you?"
No, she answered but she can't find a voice. She just then pinned her head to his shoulder so that he won't make her see his face. his eyes... again.
She was a bit surprised when she felt her hands brushing her hair. Quatre had managed to untie her ponytail and was carefully massaging her scalp. It was very soothing, almost making her want to say everything to him at that moment. Damn those hands of his, she cursed momentarily. The action was also making her sleepy.
"Lizzy, I want to know why are you afraid of me. I could swear you are more afraid when you see me than when you faced Heero today. Every time I get near you, you always put a distance between us. I always feel the invisible wall you put up. Why Lizzy? Why me? I want to know you better Lizzy. I want you . I want you to know that I ."
Lizzy held her breath. What on earth is Quatre talking about? She could feel his own chest against her with the way they are positioned in the sofa and she could feel his heartbeat is beating faster than hers.
She then dared to look into his eyes and almost wished she hadn't done so. His face a mere two inches from her.
