"Bulletproof" “Still here ?” It was a stupid question, of course, but after hours of surgery, Sally felt that she was entitled to ask stupid questions. She knew that only the planet’s imminent destruction would have made Heero move from Quatre’s bedside. The former Gundam Pilot graced her question with a shrug, which was pretty much all that it deserved as an answer. “You should get some rest,” Sally said almost automatically, even if she knew that he wouldn’t listen. She came closer to check the several machines that were beeping. “His rhythm is normal again,” she whispered as she looked at the ECG. Quatre was still breathing with the ventilator, but he had shown signs of spontaneous breathing every time Sally had tried to disconnect him. His body was too tired for the moment to do more than this, but it was encouraging. Sally only hoped that his heart would stand the shock. She had lost count of how many times it had stopped during the surgery. The bullets had almost severed the pulmonary artery. She shook the images of her own hands covered in Quatre’s blood as she had done the cardiac massage and took a little phial out of her lab coat’s pocket and a syringe still in its wrapping. “What is it ?” Heero asked softly. “It’s a calcium supplement. Still in the experimental
stage. I hope that it will help re-grow the bones a bit faster, but
even then, the “He will.” There was no doubt in Heero’s voice as he said this, but even in the dark Sally saw that he was shivering. “Duo ?” he asked, and she thought that his voice shouldn’t have been so steady. “Just minor scrapes and a sprained ankle. He refused to go home.” “Wind ?” She winced. “The bullets are out. We’re waiting for the clot to be resorbed. He’s still unconscious. Duo is with him.” Heero took Quatre’s hand in his. “When will they understand that it’s useless to try to kill us ?” Quatre’s hand was lifeless, his skin all but livid and pierced by needles and tubes that fed drugs to his body. Sally knew that the young businessman was way taller than she was now but he looked very small in that bed, covered in bloodstained bandages and surrounded by machines that kept him alive. “They’re scared,” Sally said. “Why ? We’re already dead. We died a long time ago.” She swallowed the lump in her throat and put her hand on his shoulder. “I won’t let any of you die, Heero, and you know it !” She gave a start when his other hand came to cover hers and gave it a gentle squeeze. “Thank you,” he said so low that she wasn’t sure that he had actually talked. She took a step closer and kissed his temple, taking him in her arms from behind. “I won’t let you die,” she said again in a whisper. OWARI
