Back To The Park
*******************
While Serena and Wufei were staring at each other there was a knock on the door. Wufei stepped farther away from the bed and they both turned their gaze to the door. It slowly opens and Quatre's head popped in and he smiled. "Sorry to disturb you but Sammy was looking for you. He says he's bored."
Serena nodded and slowly got off the bed and she swayed slightly on her feet. Quatre and Wufei both held her upright. "Thanks guys." She laid her head on Quatre's shoulder and wrapped her arms around one of his. He led her out of the room and down the hall to the living room.
Everyone was sitting around, pretty much silent. Sammy looked up and smiled as he put down a crayon. "Serena, You ok now? I was bored so Duo gave me his crayons and paper to color with. See I drew you and me in the park. Can we go to the park Sere? It's nice outside, please?" he said all of this in one breath while looking at his sister.
"Woah tiger, Yes I'm fine and that was nice of Duo to lend you his crayons. Did you say thank you? I hope so. I love your drawing and yes we can go to the park as long as its ok with the guys." They both turned to the G-boys and pouted. "Please?" they said together.
The guys looked at each other. How could they resist? They all nodded. "Of course." "Yeah!" Serena and Sammy squealed in delight. "Let's go." Said Serena. She helped Sammy clean up as everyone got ready to go out.
Serena went back to her room and put on a dark blue pants suit with a white T-shirt and white shoes. She pulled her long hair up in a high ponytail and returned to the living room. All the others where ready so they headed out of the door and walked to the back.
Sammy was riding on Duo's shoulders again, chatting away. Serena was walking besides Quatre as they walked in silence. The rest of them followed some feet away.
As they arrived at the park Sammy started to get restless so Duo put him down and he shot forward to the playground. Serena collapsed under a nearby tree and let her gaze wander around, never really letting Sammy out of her sight.
"So.. now what?" asked Duo as stood beside Serena. She just shrugged and looked up at the sky. The boys had all walked away a second later because Duo was hungry and he whined until they all left to get something for everybody. Then a shadow fell over her line of vision. She looked over to see a guy standing over her. She raised an eyebrow. "Yes?" "Oh yes. I was just admiring your beauty is all. You're absolutely stunning." He leaned down slightly. Serena frowned as she stood up and was standing in front of him. "Is that so?" she put her hands on her hips. "Yes. I was wondering if I could take you out some time?"
She gazed up at him. "I don't think so." Her tone returning to it's original monotone, her blue eyes steely. The guy frowned back. "You don't mean that." He grabbed her arm roughly. Serena's eyes widened and she looked for Sammy. He was looking around for Serena and when he saw her his eyes widened. "Serena!" he ran to her swinging his arms. "Leave my sister alone!"
The guy turned around and glared at Sammy. "Stay out of this kid. I'm trying to get a date." Sammy attacked the guy's leg and he let out a shout. The guy knocked Sammy to the ground, where he landed hard with a thud and didn't move.
While this was going on Serena was growling low in her throat, her blue eyes flashing and her crescent moon appearing on her head. She broke the hold the guy had on her and punched him in the face. His eyes got wide as she started fighting her back.
Serena felt his fist connect with her cheek and she fought harder, kicking and scratching at wherever she could get her hands on. They both stood up and faced each other, breathing heavily. The guy smiled. "I like a good fight." And he lunged for her. She was ready and moved into one of her favorite fighting stances, at the defensive. She waited for the right moment when he was within striking distance. She gathered all her energy and closed her eyes, her crescent moon glowing bright on her forehead. She inhaled deeply as the guy came closer to her and she let loose a powerful punch to his neck. "Ahhhhhh!" and a burst of silver energy emerged from her fist as it connected with his flesh.
The guy fell back and landed hard on his back, he didn't move. Serena coughed and stumbled over to Sammy and looks at him, tears in her eyes. "Sammy, wake up please." She shook him but he didn't move. "Sammy?" She turned back to the guy her eyes a blaze of fire. She slowly stood and walked back to him. "No on, but no one messes with my brother!" she yelled as she started beating the crap out of him while he lay there. Just then the guys came back and took in all that was happening. Duo ran to Sammy and held him gently, trying to get him to wake up. The rest ran to Serena and tried to pull her off the guy. "Serena please. It's ok. Stop." Said Quatre.
"No! He hurt Sammy and no one hurts my brother." She doubled her efforts to exterminate the guy. "He is a weakling preying on others he think he can dominate. I will rid the world of such ignorance." He voice had changed it sounded purer and regal-like. Her eyes flashed a brighter, clearer blue before returning to normal.
She gasped as she collapses into Heero's arms, as he was the closest one to her. There was a scar on her cheek where the guy punched her. Heero gently rubbed his finger across it and she sighed softly. Her blue pants set was also covered in dirt and her crescent moon disappeared. Everyone looked down at her and at the guy who was lying so still on the ground.
Duo walked over to them with Sammy in his arms. "He'll be ok. He woke up for a minute and then fell to sleep." The others nodded as Heero stood up and they all headed back to the mansion.
They arrived at the mansion some minutes later. Heero laid her down in her room and closed the door silently and went back to the living room where the guys were. Duo had Sammy in his lap, playing with his hair. "Poor little guy." He whispered.
"What is up with Serena?" asked Quatre. "This is the third time she's collapsed on us. Is this a regular occurrence? And what is with that glowing crescent moon on her forehead that keeps reappearing and disappearing?" he flopped back against the couch and sighed. "I'm worried about her."
Trowa looked at Quatre. "We are all worried about her. But that will do neither her nor Sammy any good. We just have to keep an eye on her and keep her safe." He crossed his arms over his chest and resumed being quiet.
Wufei put his hands on his knees and stood up. "Barton is right. We need to find a way to help her and worrying will not do. But did you see her fight? She was like a blur." Wufei paced the room and thought about what he saw. Heero turned his head and looked up the stairs at the door at the far end of the center hall to Serena's door. He was so worried about her, but Wufei was right he wanted to help her. God but she was amazing. Fighting like that. He admired her greatly and that was no easy feat. He sighed as he turned back to the guys. He wanted them to leave so he could go check up on Serena. He sat back as he closed his eyes. He would just have to wait, but he would get in to see her before the night was out.
