Miko and Duo stay by Trowa's bedside until he wakes up well into the night.
Duo and Miko are talking softly about improvements that can be made to the Gundams and how they should go about it, when there's a groan from Trowa.
Duo immediately gets quite loud before Miko clocks him over the head with her fist, "He's hurt you idiot, not deaf."
"Don't be too hard on him... It's part of his personality," groans out Trowa. Miko immediately starts to take vitals and then asks him if he needs anything.
"Something to drink and eat would be nice," is all the reply she gets from him. Nodding she moves off to the kitchen to get him some orange juice and a sandwich. On her return, she finds Heero there with Duo and Trowa. Miko sets the tray down infront of Trowa and incourages him to eat.
When he starts to eat, she shoos off Duo and Heero, "He needs rest and peace to do so. Please leave."
Duo and Heero leave and Miko asks Trowa a few questions, "What exactly did they do to you? How'd they find you?"
Trowa tries to sit up so Miko helps him. "I'm not really sure, they intercepted me about half way through the atmosphere. Then, they forced me to fly to their base. When I arrived there, they stormed into the shuttle and attacked me. During the fight they managed to knock me unconcious. I woke up in a cell strapped to a chair. They started asking me questions about the Gundams and about the former OZ. When I couldn't answer, they started to use other methods. They injected me with a truth serum, they obviously started to beat me, they shocked me with electricity... I guess I blacked out. That's all I remember. Sorry,"
Trowa explains. Miko shakes her head and looks down, "I'm sorry it took me so long to find you. Anyway, You should sleep more, regain your strength. Sleep well."
As she's walking out, she runs into Heero who just grabs her arm and shoves her down the hall toward his apartment. "Um Heero, what's going on?" she asks kinda shakily.
Heero just pushes her into his apartment, and locks the door behind him. "You killed her. I should kill you where you stand," is all the response Miko gets from Heero.
"Huh? Who'd I kill? What's going on?" she can only babble out.
This earns a growl from Heero, "YOU KILLED RELENA! WHY DID YOU KILL HER?!"
Miko stops and stares right at Heero, "I didn't kill her."
Heero levels his gun at her head, "There is proof, you can't lie about it!!" Miko looks quite surprised, "What proof?"
Heero immediately blows up, "SO YOU ADMIT YOU DID IT!!"
Miko shakes her head, "What reason would I have to kill her?"
Heero just growls and pulls up the survalience video Wufei sent him. The video is from a nearby bank parkinglot. It shows what appears to be Miko repelling into Relena's window in the mansion. There is a flash of light at the window and then the girl jumps out of the window and repells to the ground where she runs out of the screen.
Miko looks completely baffled, "I don't know what to say."
Heero keeps the gun trained on her, "This is why Wufei wouldn't agree to meet with you. He knew you killed her."
Miko starts to get upset and even starts to cry a little, "I didn't kill her... I couldn't have... She was my sister."
Heero scoffs, "Right, I'm sure you are."
Miko just sobs more, "That's what I meant by my real name could get me killed. My real name is Elfein Peacecraft. I was the youngest by a few minutes. Not even Milliardo knows I'm his sister. I was sent away to a family of engineers when I was born incase anything happened to my real family, the blood line would still live on. My real name was hidden from me, until recently when i started to investigate my adoptive family and discovered they never had children..."
This is all the more Miko can explain that Heero can understand. Heero lowers the gun and sits in a chair, "Why do you look completely different from her?"
Miko looks up at him, "I have all the latent genes from my family, dark red hair and dark green eyes. However, my skin is fair and sensitive like all the Peacecrafts' and certain facial structures match up from Mother and Father. I'll consent to a blood test if you'd like."
Heero nods and just sits there, "Yeah, we'll do that later. That video though, who is it then?"
Miko shrugs, "I can see how you'd be foolled though, she looks a lot like me. Her hair though is actually black."
She pauses the video on the flash of light and zooms in a little more to show her real hair color.
"And her body is a bit different shaped from mine. She is a bit more of a stick than I am."
Heero looks confused at this terminology, "Stick?"
Miko giggles a little, "She has smaller breasts and less curve around her hips."
Heero nods not really understanding. "So, it's deffinately not you?"
Miko nods, "Deffinately not me. Will you inform Wufei? We could use his strength."
Heero nods again and Miko gets up to leave, but turns at the door, "Get some rest. OK?" Heero just waves her out the door.
Duo is just comming out of his room as Miko is comming out of Heero's room and he walks up to her. "So what were you doing in Heero's room?" he asks curiously.
Miko just sighs and turns to Duo, "I guess you'll find out any way. He thought I was the one who had killed Relena. I'm not, and I proved that in a few ways. One way, was I told him I'm Relena's younger sister."
Duo interrupts her, "Wait, there's no way you're related to her. You look nothing like her."
Miko sighs, "I realize I'm not exactly her identical twin, but I am her twin. I'm a few minutes younger and I have the latent Peacecraft genes, my hair color and eye color for instance. I was sent away incase anything were to happen to the rest of my family, I'd carry on the Peacecraft bloodline,"
Miko takes another deep breath and sighs again. Duo just looks at her confused while she continues, "I was raised by a family of engineers as their own, that is until they died a few years ago. I was trained as an engineer, I work as an engineer, then, they thought Trowa had been killed. I was kidnapped and trained to pilot a gundam. It was explained to me that they absolutely had to have 5 pilots for the plan to go through completely. So I was made to be the next gundam pilot. However, I became a redundancy when Trowa was found to be alive. So, the engineers sent me back here to be hidden again. At that time, they of course knew who I was. I, on the other hand, had no idea. It wasn't until the beginning of this year, that I discovered it completely by accident. I was clearing out one of "dad's" old computers and recovered some files dealing with the "adoption," I was so devestated that i went into a frenzy of trying to find my real family. I couldn't help it, I had to know. Can you imagine what my reaction was when I found out I'm a Peacecraft?"
Duo thinks for a second, "Was your reaction, "Holy Shit, I'm rich?" or maybe, "I could rule the world?" I think you're lucky. I'm an orphen too."
Miko looks at him startled even though she knew this. "I'm sorry Duo, I know, but I guess it's just that I wasn't expecting to be the bastard child of the most influential family on the Earth," she explains.
Duo just pats her on the back and starts to walk away. Miko shrugs and walks to her room.
