Chapter 24

A Shocking Discovery
*******************
Heero moved into action as he flew to the house and shifted through the rubble.
The others snapped out of their stupor and went to help him.
Trowa moved a big piece of the roof and saw a flash of gold. He opened up the door of his Gundam Heavyarms and jumped down. "Serena!" he saw Serena lying there.
There was a whimper and Sammy poked his head out from under Serena. "What happened?" asked Sammy.
Trowa gingerly made his way over to them. "It's ok Sam. We'll get you out of here."
Trowa bent down and shook Serena but she still didn't move. "What happened to her?" whispered Sammy.
"I don't know." Replied Trowa as he picked Serena up and took Sammy's hand. "Come on. "Let's get out of here."
Sammy pulled on Trowa's hand. "Wait, Mommy." And he pointed to where Ilene was laying.
The fire was getting worse. Wufei, in his Gundam Nataku, flew over. "What is the hold up Barton?" he demanded.
"Their mother is here."
Wufei sighed and was making his way over to the mother when a mobile doll started attacking him. "Shit." Yelled Wufei and he immersed himself in battle.
Trowa grabbed Sammy and Serena tighter and started walking to Heavyarms. "I'll come back for your mother." Trowa helped Sammy up the Serena, who still wouldn't wake up.
Trowa climbed into the driver's seat and started up the engine and moved his Gundam back to a save distance away from the fire.
"I'll be right back with your mother Sam. Stay put and watch over your sister." Trowa jumped back down to the ground and closed the Gundam door.
But soon as he turned to run to the house another mobile doll flew over and released a round of shots at the house and the ones surrounding it.
There was a loud boom and the whole block went up in a cloud of smoke.
Trowa was thrown back against his Gundam and fell down. Inside Heavyarms Sammy was screaming. "Mother!"
Heero, who had been occupied by a mob of mobile dolls, came flying over.
He opened the hatch to his Gundam and yelled at Trowa. "Get up Barton. This place can go at any time." He returned back to his Gundam and closed the hatch. He then headed back to the mansion.
Trowa shook himself awake and quickly got into Heavyarms and took off. Everybody was already ahead of him.
~~~~~
He strode into the mansion with Serena in his arms and Sammy trailing behind him.
Duo ran over and gazed down at her. "Will she be ok?"
Heero stepped over as well and looked down at her. "We'll make sure of it."
Quatre was ringing his hands in worry. "Let's take her to Sally Po."
They all agreed and made their way to the Explorer and climbed in.
It took them a while but they finally arrived at the Preventors' Headquarters.
Heero took Serena from Trowa and rushed her inside.
Duo had a sleeping Sammy in his arms.
Heero stepped inside and ran down the hallway and turned a corner. He went into a door that was open at the end of the hallway.
"Sally!" he yelled. A woman popped her head out of a back room and blinked with curiosity. "Heero? What are you doing here?" asked Sally as she wiped her hands on a towel.
"Hnn." And he pushed Serena into her arms and turned and walked out again.
The other passed him as they walked into the room. They rushed over to Serena and looked down at her.
Sally looked at her as well. "Who is this girl?"
Quatre looked up. "The epitome of innocence."
The other looked at him in surprise. Quatre just blushed. "Well she is." He reasoned. Duo nodded his agreement.
Quatre slipped off to the side and out of the way. He rubbed at his forehead and glanced at Serena. Poor Serena, he could feel her pain. The life of an empath. He hid it well, but he always knew when she was in pain. Like that time on the beach when she nearly drowned. He knew and he was scared for her life.
Wufei looked around. "Oh come on already!" he turned to Sally. "You, woman, make her well." And he left the room as well.
Sally looked after him then down at Serena. "She must really be special." She whispered.
"She is." Stated Trowa as he strode out of the room.
Sally nodded. "Wow. Some girl." Duo nodded and walked out as well.
Quatre gazed at her with her baby blue eyes. "Just make her well." And he walked away.
Sally went right to work on Serena, taking the best of care with her.
~~~~~
Some hours later she stepped out and found five pairs of eyes looking back at her. Sammy was in another room being checked by another doctor.
"Well? How is she?" asked Duo.
"Yes woman. Is she well?" demanded Wufei.
The others just gazed at her expectantly.
Sally sighed. "Well. There was a lot of trauma to the head. I almost lost her for a minute there but suddenly she just started to fight for her life. Very astounding."
"Can we see her?" asked Quatre.
"Well I don't know."
"Oh please Sally." Pleaded Duo.
"Oh fine."
Duo jumped up and walked to the room the pilots filed in behind him.
Serena was lying peacefully on the bed. She had a bruise on her cheek and one on her forehead.
Quatre leaned over her and caressed her cheek and forehead. She shifted slightly and Quatre stepped back. They all surrounded her bed and just watched her silently.
Serena shifted and shot up in bed, eyes wide. She looked around. "Where am I?"
Duo leaned forward. "Your at the Preventors' HQ."
She turned to him and was about to ask him what the Preventors were when her eyes widened more. "Sammy?" she asked as she grabbed at Quatre's collar.
Quatre covered her hands with his. "He's fine. Just resting."
She relaxed slightly before she clenched Quatre's collar again. "Mother?"
Quatre inhaled sharply, as did the others.
"We couldn't save her Serena." Stated Duo quietly.
Serena lowered her head as tears filled her eyes. "I know she was a bitch but she was still my mother." She whispered.
"We know Sere." Said Quatre.
Serena suddenly jerked away from Quatre and gazed at all the different faces around her.
From Quatre's compassionate face to Heero's emotionless one.
She curled up close to the head of the bed, slightly scared.
"Who the hell are you people?"
