Chapter 16:

Five suits sat on a pier, the boys were down fixing Deathscythe and Wing, it had been a week since the attack and the Daedalus had arrived sooner then they had thought. Five Gundams stood in the fading light of day looking like guards. Rodney had been busy asking to look at the Gundams. Quatre agreed to let him look. Wufei threatened to kill him if he even laid a finger on Nataku. Trowa the ever silent one just placed a gun against his head and turned his head slightly, giving his answer as no. They were surprised when they learned that Heero and Duo allowed him to crawl around in the cockpit of their Gundams, but the boys stood over his shoulder, and watched him closely and carefully.

Heero was sitting on the hatch to the cockpit when he stopped his typing; Trowa noticed this and turned his head to see Teyla and John walk out to them. "Daniel has news for you," John said. "Said to gather all the boys and bring them to him."

Heero nodded to Trowa who clicked the radio three times very quickly. Heero closed his laptop and hooked himself in the cord and lowered himself down to the floor. Trowa simply moved down the Gundam like a cat. He stepped next to Heero as the other three came running to them. Wufei looked at Teyla and frowned. She lifted a brow at him and when he said nothing and turned his head to the side she knew she had upset him somehow.

Duo caught the conversation and grinned like a mad man. Teyla said nothing. John looked at the boys. "That was quick, I figured I'd have to go to each of you," he said. "Daniel has some information for you."

They fell in line and followed John down the halls of Atlantis. Heero was in front of them, Duo was on his right and Wufei was some what behind him, Quatre was on Heero's left and Trowa was slightly behind the blond. They filed in line like this easily it seemed. After a bit of walking they walked into a room where there were several white boards with numbers and letters on them. They filed into the room and rested at ease in the same order as they walked.

Daniel looked at them. "Ah, so," Daniel started and looked at the white board before him. "You'll have to travel back to Earth," he said simply. "We can make the worm hole appear and you will be able to go back you your own world."

"But?" Duo asked, Daniel looked at him.

"Right, but there is one problem with that, the worm hole isn't use to going the other way, there seems to have been a stargate at the location that you have arrived and left from, it was some how destroyed or removed somehow. So, its going to be harder to make it go the other way."

"But you can do it?" Quatre asked.

"Yes, this is going to be slow going and I have to build a mini DHD, that works," Daniel said.

"The Wraith have some I think," John put in, "they'd have to anyway."

"Yes, but then you're talking about sneaking into a Wraith Hive ship, and poking around until you find it, if you find it," Rodney explained from the other side of the white board.

"Not really a cup of tea I know," John said, "but unless Daniel can build a working one… can you build a working one?"

"That I don't know about," Daniel said.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"No," Weir said.

"What do you mean no onna?" Wufei asked.

"I mean no, out of the question," Weir said.

"Why not?" Quatre asked.

"I don't know, maybe because the Wraith are evil creatures that suck your life in an unpleasant way that is also very painful," Rodney said. The boys looked at him. "Did I say very painful?"

"Yes Rodney," Weir said. "The answer is no."

"I don't understand," Quatre looked confused. "Wouldn't it be easy for one of us to sneak into the hive ship the next time they came to attack, while the others attack the others, the one go in take the device and get out?"

"Its not an OZ base Kitty Kat, these people are ugly, I'll go in," Duo said.

"I said no," Weir said.

"Going to blow it from the inside?" Heero asked.

"Yep," Duo said. "A recon mission is easy, this is just gonna be a hack and blow."

"Get the device on the wave after?" Quatre nodded his head. "Sounds the best, what about the hyper jammers?"

"Nope, they don't work against these guys," he said.

"Boys," Weir looked at them. Rodney was watching they with wide eyes and Carson's mouth was slightly open.

"Once in space I'm gonna ride on Sandrock, home you don't mind Quatre, yours is close range figured it would be easier."

"In that case just leave Deathscythe here you can ride with me," the blond said. "Trowa will be back up." The boy nodded his head.

"How long?" Heero asked.

"Umm.. give me at least thirty minutes," Duo said.

"You have twenty," Heero replied. Duo grinned at him.

"Always the task maker."

"BOYS!" Weir yelled. They all turned to her, even the real men in the group. "I said the mission was a no go." They boys looked at her.

"Hear that?" Duo said and leaned back in his chair. "Momma don't like that idea, Trowa why don't you come with me as back up, your Gundam uses bullets anyway."

"I think he would be better on the outside, I also have a beam gatling," Trowa said.

"No kidding? When did you get that?" Duo asked looking at him. Weir was still stunned that he had called her momma.

"Not to long ago, so only my machine cannons, and micro missiles, homing missiles and Vulcan cannons use bullets."

"Still have that army knife?" Duo asked.

"No, had to be removed for because of the extra cannon, my shield is gone too."

"The weight would have been too much," Heero chimed in.

John blinked, "how many guns does that thing have?" he asked.

Trowa looked at him and thought for a moment, "14?" Trowa questioned, "Including the missile bays."

"That's a lot of fire power," John said.

"It suits me," Trowa said.

"Boys, just remember the mission is a no," Weir said. "I mean it."

The boys looked at her.

"I don't think their going to listen to you," John said.

"The boys are soldiers, they were trained to respect the orders of-"

"Woah," Duo said and picked himself off the floor.

"We follow our own orders," Wufei chimed in.

"Look, don't worry, I'll be in and out in thirty minutes," Duo said. "No biggy really."

"Twenty," Heero corrected.

"No," Weir said. "We're not having this conversation. The answer is no, and if I find out you do it you will be in trouble."

Duo grinned. Weire glared at him, his grin got wider.

A/N : Yeah I know a lot of talking, sorry.
