Get Well Soon

The next few days he spent isolated and quarantined as all traces of VX were being wiped off him. He couldn't say he enjoyed it per se but he put up with it nonetheless.

From his isolated room, he gave his report, explaining his side of the events and why Heero Yuy was also there, dead from the VX's deadly grasp. They came to the conclusion that Heero had finally went over the edge and that under the circumstances, Duo had been under duress. It was a real blow to the Preventers to lose one of its best agents but it couldn't be helped.

The moment that he was deemed safe and allowed visitors, he was assaulted by two blond blurs who refused to leave his side no matter the reason. Duo wasn't one to spurn attention but he suddenly felt suffocated, just like he had on the shuttle ride from L2. Unlike last time though, this time Duo snapped at them and got the two to tone down their mother hen tendencies.

The key words being tone down.

He got to see Trowa and Wufei soon enough. It seemed like great minds thought alike. The two were also planning to take some time off as well. Where they were planning to go, they didn't tell Duo but from the way the two looked at each other, he had a good idea of what they were going to be up to.

The remaining VX and the rockets were picked up, even the ones thrown overboard. The Siberia itself was destroyed due to the fact that a few of the rooms had been contaminated by the poison, deeming the ship to be unsafe. Whatever was left of the ship was at the bottom of the sea.

As for the rockets that had been launched and detonated, the central area of Sanc and the entirety of Rome were quarantined and evacuated. The VX cleanup in Sanc was progressing just fine as the spread of the poison had been contained immediately after detonation. Rome was a different story. Because the Preventers weren't able to get to the city fast enough, the entire city had been evacuated, the surviving residence barred entry into a city that the government was trying to decide what to do with.

Using the bits of information that Duo had managed to gather from Katsaris himself, a link between the General and the now deceased Representative Grant was found. Government officials and bureaucrats were horrified to find out one of their own had not only been involved with but had started and plotted the whole thing.

Human justice would not be able to be bestowed on the ambitious man since he was one of the victims of the rocket that had detonated in Sanc. Indeed, Grant would get his name remembered in history but not in the way he would have wanted it. He would be remembered as a conspirator to overthrow the government and ultimately his name would fade into anonymity like so many before him.

For all their efforts, the surviving team members were soon graced with the presence of one Relena Peacecraft. Though a bit subdued at the news of Heero's death, the Speaker nonetheless gave her thanks to the four ex-pilots, going as far as to order them to take a couple weeks off. It was taken as a form of a joke among her entourage but Duo and the others were going to take full advantage of the "order." If anybody had a problem with that, the Speaker ordered them to do it.

Try arguing with that!

However, Duo didn't like the way Relena's eyes drifted over him. It sent a chill up his spine, and not a pleasant one mind you. When giving her good-byes and farewells, Duo couldn't help but notice that her eyes lingered on him longer than the others but it seemed that Quatre and Solo had picked up on this new behavior and had taken up their posts of watch dogs immediately.

The moment the pink princess was gone, Duo finally allowed himself to let out a big sneeze. What the hell kind of perfume did that girl put on anyway? It was just nauseating being within a twenty foot radius from her. Plus there was this subtle hint of roses among the stench and the braided one couldn't help but chalk up another reason why he didn't like Relena.

After cleansing the room out and letting Trowa and Wufei out to do whatever it is that they like to do, Duo now settled himself down for some quality time with his two most favorite people in the world.

And both of them just happened to be missing in action at the moment. Damn it, where the hell are they?! He wanted some attention!

Hearing a flush from the private bathroom, he glanced over just as the door was opened and a relieved looking Solo came out. Well, that answered part of the question. Now where was Quatre?

That answer was not forthcoming as Solo settled himself next to the bed, his amused green eyes giving the braided one a once-over.

"So how's my Kid doin' today?" Solo asked.

Sighing, Duo replied, "That's the tenth time you've asked that, Solo."

"Humor me."

"I'm fine," Duo sighed but the result was not something he was unhappy with.

The blond was laying light kissing all along his neck, sucking every once in a while and leaving a few hickeys in his wake. Ah, this was the life. Now if only Quatre was here, then some heavy petting could be expected. Well speak of the devil, here came the other one.

Shaking his head in amusement, the Arabian blond settled himself on the other side of bed. Now this was a familiar sight, though last time the time were rivals.

Ceasing his activity, much to Duo's disappointment, for just a moment, Solo chirped, "Hey Q!" before resuming his attack.

Chuckling, Quatre reached a hand into Duo's chestnut hair and began to stroke the long locks. Damn, if he wasn't in heaven already, he most certainly was now.

"So what were you up to Q?" Duo managed to ask.

"Just taking care of a few things," the Arabian answered as he rested his head on Duo's chest.

"What kind of things?" Duo continued.

"Eh, just making the way clear so that we can get out of here without being held up," Quatre elaborated. "That way we'll be out of here in no time and perhaps somewhere on the other side of the world."

"I like that," Solo put in.

"You would," Duo teased.

"Get some sleep Duo," Quatre suggested, continuing before the braided one could protest. "The sooner the doctors think you're well, the sooner you can get out."

"Yeah," Solo agreed. "Time flies when ya asleep."

That made a lot of sense. A lot of sense. Hmm, why not? He didn't have anything better to do now did he?
