Annie: We are back with a new chapter!

SB/Kierra: Thank you to everyone who reviewed the third chapter!

Annie: Enjoy!

"Welcome back to the land of the living." Iria said to Duo about 11 weeks after he was brought in, he just blinked at her confused, it was clear he had no idea where he was.

Duo had woken up from his coma and a nurse noticed it and got Iria and she had her little brother and his 3 lovers and the two teens to wait out in the hallway so she could talk with Duo and explain things to him.

"You have been in a coma for the past 11 weeks. Quatre, Heero, Trowa, and Wufei found you on L2 and brought you here to me on L4. You had multiple broken bones and internal injuries. 7 of your bones have healed such as your ankle, wrist, ribs, hand, collarbone, pelvis, and the cracks that were in your skull. That just leaves your arm and jaw which will take about another week to heal, and both of your legs will take about another month to 4 months to heal. You will have to use a wheelchair at that time." She told him.

Duo gave her a thumbs up to show that he understood her, then he pointed to his mouth. He could not talk and wanted to know why. Thankfully she seemed to know what it was he was trying to say.

"Since your jaw was broken, we had to wire it shut. Once it heals, I can undo the wires. Now since you are awake, I can have the only question I have for you can be answered. When you came in we took you right into surgery to fix the damage done to your body, I noticed and repaired a small tear in your spinal cord, if we caught it and fixed it in time then you have nothing to worry about, if not then you will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of your life." Iria told him as his eyes went wide in horror at the thought of not being able to walk for the rest of his life.

"Here's the question, can you feel me touching you here?" Iria asked as she touched his toes and Duo nodded which made her smile "Then you have nothing to worry about, you will only be confined to the wheelchair until your legs heal."

Duo sighed in relief, he had been worried that he'd be unable to walk for the rest of his life, he wiggled his toes and smiled. He would walk again.

"This keyboard is hooked up to the monitor behind your head, type what you want to say and it will appear on the screen." Iria told him as she handed it to him which had him smiling again, he could talk.

#Thank you. # Duo wrote.

"Your welcome. Do you want me to send the others in? They are waiting out in the hall at the moment." Iria told him.

#Yes, please. # Duo said as Iria smiled and left his room, the boys were right where she had said, in the hall.

"Good news, Duo is awake and is aware of his injuries. I gave him a keyboard that is hooked up to a screen that lets him write out what he wants to say. Plus, we fixed the tear in his spinal cord in time, he will only need the wheelchair until his legs heal." Iria told them.

"Thank god." Wufei said as Heero put his arm around him as Trowa did the same with Quatre. All six of them were relieved to hear that.

"He wants you in there." Iria said with a smile, she had given Duo something to do and annoy the others before she left to speak with the others.

"Wooh, wooh ahhh eeewww wooh, wooh ahhh eeewww!" Thunk.

Iria waited long enough to hear the sound of the monkey which made monkey noises as it flies throw the air before hitting something or someone in this case. Iria giggled to herself as she walked away, Wufei had been the first one in the door, so he got hit with the monkey. She had given Duo the 'Slingshot flying screaming monkey' thou it wasn't just the monkey which he had two of, he also had 2 cows, 2 pigs, 2 ducks and 2 frogs he could throw at the others whenever he wanted to.

They stared at Duo as his violet eyes danced in amusement, a smile on his lips as he held another animal, ready to throw it at them. Clearly, Iria had given the toys to Duo so he could have some fun while he was in the hospital.

"Was that necessary?" Wufei asked, his reply was a pig to the face, which made Duo and the twins, who said Duo named them Gem and Gemma Lansdown, Duo called them the 'Boom Twins' since they loved making things exploded as much as Duo; chuckle.

"How are you feeling, Duo?" Quatre asked.

#Been better. I hear I have you four to thank for me being here. # Duo answered as they nodded.

"Officially we are on vacation while helping Quatre with his business. Unofficially we were sent to make sure you were alright since someone put an assassination contract out on you and to deal with the gang on L2." Heero told him.

"Gem and Gemma, here, helped us take care of the gang while Trowa located you and got you to the shuttle." Wufei added.

#Why? # Duo asked.

"Lina told me that you were in trouble before Lady Une told us you were in trouble." Trowa told him as he nodded his head.

#She's gone, isn't she? #Duo asked as he looked at the Boom Twins.

"Yes. She helped us," Gem started.

"To take out," Gemma added.

"The gang and to," Gem continued.

"Make sure you," Gemma followed.

"Survived." They said at the same time. Heero, Wufei, and Quatre were slowly getting used to them doing that, Trowa was used to it since he knew it was a twin thing, he had done it with Trolina when they had been younger and they still did it from time to time when they got together nowadays.

#I see. # Duo said before he looked back at the others #Do they know? #

"Yes. We sent them a flash drive that held a file of all your injuries that my sister put together." Quatre told him, knowing who Duo was talking about.

#Oh. # Duo said.

"She sent a reply, she told Sally and Noin, and Noin told Zechs, about what happened and the four of them are glad you are safe and alive but horrified at what happened to you before we found you." Heero told him.

#Did she know I was hurt before she sent you to find me? # Duo asked them.

"No, she just knew someone wanted you dead and she sent the four of us to find you and make sure you were safe and to take care of the ones responsible for the contract." Quatre explained as he nodded.

"As I said before, Lina told me you were in trouble, but more than that, she told me you were near death. She told me in a roundabout way that if I did not get the others and the four of us find you, you would die." Trowa explained and repeated what his twin had said, word for word.

#Oh. Now what? # Duo replied.

"Well we will be staying here until Iria says you are well enough to travel, then we will leave L4 and go somewhere else." Quatre said.

"Can we go to earth?" Gemma asked.

"Neither of you have been to earth?" Wufei asked the Boom Twins.

"No." Gem answered as he and his twin sister shook their heads.

"Duo?" Quatre asked, knowing it was his choice.

#I want to leave space and return to earth. I've had enough of the colonies for the time being. # Duo replied.

"Relena has offered me this nice mansion on the outskirts of the Sqanc Kingdom, it's about the same size as some of my other places and it will need a good deal of work since no one has lived in it for years. I have been putting off agreeing to take the place since she said something to me about it a few years ago." Quatre revealed.

#I don't care where we go. # Duo said.

"I'll tell Relena that I will take it and see if she can get some people to get it ready for us." Quatre said as Duo nodded.
