Wufei has his hands on Quatre's shoulder's, looking him in the eyes, "I cannot fully tell if it is permanent but being it was chemicals in a powder like substance I'd guess it isn't permanent. I think I may know the combination they used but it could take days or weeks for you to get your eye sight back" Wufei stated what he knew to be the truth.

"Its only a temporary set back Quatre… " Heero said who is at Quatre's left just as foot steps came up from behind.

"What is a temporary set back?" Trowa asked as he watched as Wufei removed his hands from Quatre's shoulders. "There is something you guy's are hiding."

Quatre shook his head and turned to face where Trowa's voice is coming from, "no Trowa, they're not hiding anything… I have a problem," Quatre admitted and the moment Trowa set his sights on his eyes he took a step back and his own eyes widened as he then took a step towards Quatre.

"Oh my… I did not see this coming… how did it – no… how are you handling this?" Trowa asked and Quatre took a step towards him and reached out his hands to find the front of his shirt and slowly glide up to find his face and feel Trowa's features ever so gently to see that he looks worried.

"A chemical based powder got me in the eyes while on the ship from someone who was waiting for us… I am coping with it but it was my fault. I fired my gun and shot the bag when it came at me, I have yet to tell Duo" Quatre replied and Trowa reached his hands up and placed his hands overtop of Quatre's and held them. "You have to tell him or show him but not the way I walked in like this…" Trowa responded and Quatre nodded.

"That was my intention… but I do not want to be treated like I can't do something" Quatre felt Trowa's warm hands on his own and Trowa move his hands off of his face to hold them together as if in prayer.

"We won't Quatre… I'll treat you the way I've always done" Heero stated and Quatre gave a weak smile and nodded.

"Why do I have to be here again? Because Quatre wants to see me in a private room" Duo answered to himself, feeling with the way on how Heero forced him into the room that he was going to be interrogated. Sitting in a chair in a one-door room, their interrogation room that they haven't used yet only no table.

Quatre slowly turned the door handle and took a step in, keeping his eyes closed, as he knows they'd give him away.

Duo got to his feet, "what's going on Quatre? You guys trust me don't you?" Duo asked and Quatre turned to him but still kept his eyes closed, "please Duo… take a seat" Quatre said in a calm pleasant tone that got Duo to sit right away.

The others in the room with the two-way mirror, watching, "Quatre has that calming quality about him – doesn't he? Doesn't over react," Trowa observed, index and thumb at his chin, watching intently.

Quatre took a few steps towards him and paused, eyes still closed and Duo's arms now crossed against his chest.

"So – what is it?" Duo asked clearly impatient with how he'd been forced into the room in the first place and now the reason why he is there taking a rather slow time. "Why won't you look at me?"

Quatre took another step towards him, now directly in front of him, face not even aimed down at him, "because…" Quatre started to answer and then he opened his eyes. A blank set of non focused eyes looking out at nothing, seeing nothing, "I can't see you" Quatre finished and Duo slowly pulled his left hand to his face.

His left hand trembling and emotions rising up in him at the realization of Quatre's condition. Duo couldn't help but feel tears well up in his eyes and then come down his cheeks just as Quatre raised up both of his hands towards his face.

Duo's eyes watched as his hands slowly rose up, he brought his own left hand down and set both hands onto his legs, his eyes moving from Quatre's hands to Quatre's face. "Quatre…" Duo couldn't help but whisper as Quatre's hands found his face and began to glide his fingers around to see with his hands. "Who did this to you? Is it permanent or temporary?"

The moment Quatre felt the tears on Duo's cheeks he removed his hands, "it was a surprise attack at the base… the man through a bag of a white powder substance and I fired on reflex. It got into my eyes and rendered me blind… we're assuming its temporary."

To Be Continued…

Hey, sorry this chapter was so short and that it took so long – my mind was so wrapped up in another fan fic that when I tried to work on this one. I couldn't.
