Birth


"And?"

The blond billionaire smiles tiredly but triumphantly, "She's agreed to see you Odin, she was easier to persuade than I thought she would be. Her brother must have speculated that she had some sympathies, but I don't believe he knows all of her strengths. She's stronger than him in some ways."

"You haven't heard then," Odin says slowly, his voice heavy and choked. "That's understandable."

"What are you talking about? What's wrong? Something has gone wrong," Quatre sags into the seat next to Odin. "Something goes right, then something goes wrong…" He shakes his head.

"Heero Yuy, he's dead."

Quatre's back in rigid as he turns swiftly to face Odin. "What! No, this is… is awful. What are we going to do?"

"Assassination. It has to be OZ, they're the henchmen of Romefeller." Odin stated duly, hands threading through his hair.

"Then it must have been General Treize," Quatre declared, "He wants to defeat us. You that as well as I, Odin."

"Yes, it must have been," Odin murmured, "The doctors, I've spoke to them, and they have advised me that - "

"They have ordered you, Odin. That's what they have done."

"That is so, but they know what they doing. They have been revolting against Romefeller since before the colonies were destroyed."

"What have they told you? What must we do now, Odin?" Quatre asked sadly.

"I am… going to be Heero Yuy."

"You?" Quatre exclaimed, "A symbol of peace?"

"Not exactly, no." Heero shook his head, "It's confusing I know, but it what we must do."

"What do they intend? How is it, that you becoming Heero Yuy, will save us? Heero was our chance to have a link between us, the soldiers, and the pacifists. Without him, we lose much of the ground that we have lost."

"Relena will have to take that position. She will have to."

"You've never met the girl, Odin, and yet you already seem fascinated." Quatre muttered.

"I've seen footage, and I've heard much. You were impressed?" Heero asked.

"I don't know Odin, she's young. And has been sheltered for most of her life. She doesn't yet have the hardness of Milliardo, but that's probably for the best. That man is cold, if powerful."

"You must call me Heero, now, Quatre. That's who I am."

"Heero," Quatre says slowly. "It's - the doctors want this? It's just so soon. And I - I never expected that this… would happen. I should have, I should have planned ahead."

"The doctors thought, don't worry Quatre, plan for now. The future is still uncertain."

Quatre turns to the newly named Heero, "You must be borrowing from the great Heero Yuy, the Odin I know was too much of a soldier to ever talk like that."

There is a pause before Heero speaks again. "The battle front has changed, you know that Quatre."

"Yes, we have to plan," Quatre takes a deep breath and nods. "I have asked Relena to meet us, I haven't told her when and she was too surprised to ask. I told her that she would be meeting Odin Lowe, that you knew Heero. And now you are him."

"I am Heero Yuy now. And we are going to avenge the colonies and reverse the power of Romefeller."

Eyes intent of Heero, Quatre nods.
