"Baby Series 1"Written By: Karina
Pairing: Duo+Heero+Pagan Notes: Challenge 10. #29 in the Baby Series. Takes place immediately after Of Tunnels and Conflict. Spoilers: None Disclaimer: I don’t own Gundam Wing or the Characters from the series but the baby is mine. Thanks to Dulin for her work as Beta
He Has To B Reasonable "Hey, ‘Ro. What’s doin’?" Duo swiped at unruly bangs leaving a long streak of dirt to add to the camouflage he already wore. "You look a mess." Heero reached to pick pieces of plant and clods of dirt from the normally neat braid. "Yeah? No worse than you’ll look after going through that. Any word on this custody order?" "Company should arrive at the manor within the hour. We need to hurry Master Milliardo and the young Prince away." Pagan stepped into the tunnel. "You’re a reasonably tall dude, Pagan. I hope you don’t mind hunching for a bit. The roofs sagged in a couple of places, nothing dangerous but it’s going to make it a tad uncomfortable for long and lanky bodies. Zechs is sure to get a crick in his back." "You made it through." Heero slipped into the tunnel. "That means we can get the baby out this way even if we have to find another way of getting Zechs out." Duo smirked. "If you want another dice with death just suggest separating them. It ain’t goin’ ta happen." Heero considered the bright violet blue eyes for a long moment. "He’s never been unreasonable on points of security." "He’s not been pushed this far before. You want to see Milliardo Peacecraft take on the whole bloody ESUN then suggest taking Stephan away from him even to protect the kid. Fei’s just about as obstinate on keeping the two of them together. I think he knows Zechs might lose it if we separate them. Man’s not well and he’s got fire in his eyes. Judgement may be off. What surprises me is the old fools forgetting who they’re dealing with." Pagan considered Duo for a moment and then motioned ahead. "We had best do what we can to make the tunnel secure as we go." Heero followed Duo into the passage. "Has Zechs said anything?" "Nah. I’m worried though. He’s gone all quiet and he’s got this look in his eyes. The kind of look you really don’t want to consider, you know? If these guys had half a grain of sense they’d be reasonable and let that man alone. He’s likely to spit in their eye with an automatic." "Relena has her legal teams working on the problem. Now above all he has to be reasonable." Heero growled. Pagan played the beam of a torch and around the tunnel. It had been many years since he had come this way but the brick walls appeared to be stable. "Perhaps the first battle in this war is to be fought with a father afraid to lose his son." he murmured. "Perchance we will have no difficulties removing them both from Sanc." // Maybe, maybe not. He’s right about likening this custody battle to a war. It will be a war if an entire country comes out against Zechs and there won’t be any beauty in this battle. // End |
