Immortalis Cruor Elf – sorry about how long this took to update, I hope to get one out every week or two weeks now that I can again

Major Simi – computers can be a pain in the ass- too bad their needed now-a-days

Drlol – thank you, first of all for the really good review- I try to stay IC but sometimes I need to break hat barrier,

With Trowa if I said merchants then yes I need to change that, I thought I said mercenaries – I do apologize- as for Quatre I never really seen him as a leader before, however when I brought it up with my hubby, he said that he saw the Sandrock pilot as a leader as well so I will try and move in that direction I think.

Thank you again for the wonderful review- I hope I can keep it up.

Chapter 21:

Working until they found what they needed which was well into the night thanks to Duo's cryptic codes. Wufei had shown how colorful his language could be but that didn't stop the boys from their mission. They sent the codes for the hyper jammers and waited. It would be a long five days. Quatre helped Weir with some off world business. Wufei and Teyla could often be found in the gym. Trowa sat and tried to avoid John's questions, and Heero would be talking to Rodney about the many functions of Gundam parts.

Six days later the Daedalus came and landed at the east pier of Atlantis. Waiting for the crew and passengers was the boys and the Stargate team. Colonel Caldwell stepped off first but was pushed aside by a braided boy who leaped at his friends and grabbed them all.

"Man that was some wild ride!" he yelled and grinned like a hyena.

"Glad to see you're okay," Weir smiled at Duo.

"Yeah, the Wraith don't like me even less then they did to begin with!" he still sounded happy. "I am starved! You know I had to get attached to one of them life saver thingys?" he started to explain while walking down the hall. "Let me tell you if you ever get trapped into a Wraith ship pack plenty of food!"

"Like we'll willing get caught on a Wraith ship," Rodney said with a roll of the eyes.

"Shall we get caught up Colonel?" Weir said. John nodded his head to the man and started after the boys.

"How was Duo?" John asked as they walked.

"Well he took up the showers for the better part of the journey coming back, and he wasn't this cheerful," Caldwell explained, "but like every child he bounced back. Though it was fast."

"He's around friends now, not enemies and strangers," John explained as Duo slumped on Heero and Quatre as he talked about what happened to him and the Wraith.

"Duo I want you looked at by Beckett," Weir told him. Duo looked over his shoulder at her.

"That's where we're taking him Weir," Quatre said.

"We had our doctors' look over him," Caldwell told Weir.

"Thank you but I still want Beckett to look over him," Weir replied to Caldwell. They turned down some halls and made it to the infirmary easily enough. Beckett looked over Duo as he hopped up on the bed. Beckett checked him and took blood. Duo sat giddy as normal. After about thirty minutes Weir smiled at them. "Well Doctor."

"Well we wont know for sure until the tests come back, but psychically he's fine," Beckett told her.

"See ya going to see Deathscythe!" he called and hopped off the bed. Beckett nodded at him. Heero and Quatre followed him out to the landing pad where the Gundams were. Duo looked up at the dark gundam and grinned. He pressed in his keycode and went to the cockpit of the gundam, Quatre and Heero looked at each other and followed him up.

Duo pulled up some scanners and gave a grim smile. "See you in Hell!" he yelled and smashed his fist down on one of the buttons on his control panel. Quatre looked inside.

"What did you do?" he asked.

"Dr. Weir!" one of the personal manning the long range sensors looked at Weir. "The Wraith ship that Duo had been taken from was just destroyed…"

"How?" she asked.

"Don't know ma'am," he said.

"Trowa, Wufei will you take Heavyarms and Nataku to see what happened to the hive ship?" Weir asked them.

"Yes ma'am," Trowa replied and moved off. Wufei looked at Trowa and then to Weir, he followed Trowa.

Once they were out of ear shot from Weir, "I have a feeling I know what happened," Wufei started.

"Yes, but just because we have a feeling doesn't mean we shouldn't see if it was or wasn't," Trowa answered.

"We could ask Duo, it would be easier," Wufei went on.

"I like space," Trowa countered, "no matter where we are, space should be the same, peaceful."

Wufei looked at the boy in front of him a little differently now. "I wonder how the war is going?" Wufei asked to the sky when they walked outside.

Trowa shrugged, "we will see when we get back," he said as they went up their Gundams.

"Oh-three, Oh-five this is Weir, can you hear me?" she came over their radios.

"This is oh-three I read you," Trowa said and pulled the screen up.

"Oh-five ready for launch," Wufei said moving his gundam to the platform.

Duo watched from his Gundam as the two took to space. He pulled up a screen on his left and looked at Weir. "Hey where are they going?" Duo asked her. Heero opened his eyes for a moment and then closed them and rolled on his side to sleep more. Quatre was sitting down looking over a laptop that was plugged into the Gundam. He looked up at Weir when she turned her attention to them. "They are going to investigate the hive ship that just seemed to have-"

"Blow up?" Duo finished for her.

"Yes… you?" she looked at him as he grinned.

"Yes I did, when Heero and Wufei sent me the jamming codes, I was able to get into their messed up system set it where I can destroy their ship before they got too far away, I figured they'd hang around for a bit, and they did…" he looked at Weir and shook his head. "Bad bunch of aliens."

"You can say that again," John replied, Weir looked at him and then back to the screen.

"Where is Rodney?" She asked him.

"Oh you know he went to work on one of his many projects," John answered.

"He has been spending much of his time on those lately," Teyla put in.

Weir gave one of her disbelieving looks and turned back to the screen. "Boys?" she asked.

"Still here," Wufei answered, "and there's not much left of the Wraith ship, sending pictures." Soon several pictures of wreckage was shown on the screen. "Heavyarms and Nataku are heading back."
