" Worth Fighting For "
Chapter 18 – Heero’s Decision
Sally arrived as soon as she could but she feared that she was too late. She was unable to discover the drug without taking a few days for test results to come back, so taking a risk, she went straight in and pump out Duo’s stomach before injecting him with a anti-body drug that would help to kill of the remain traces of the drugs. (1) With this out of the way, the only thing she could do was wait. She informed the group surrounding Duo’s bed and the two they now knew was watching them, that she had done all she could and they would just have to wait until the anti-bodies kicked in and started to work. “It’s all up to Duo now.” She stated simply before she left the room, in desperate need for a strong mug of baileys and coffee (2).

“Sit down and shut the fuck up!” Devalin yelled at Heero who was protesting. Heero was trying to convince Devalin that he should take Heero to the Preventer’s house. “I should be there with him!” Heero yelled back, his eyes fixed on the TV screen, which had changed as soon as Mike had entered the bedroom “Be quiet before I have your tongue removed.” Devalin threaten and Heero fell quiet, his hands clenched and his nails digging into his skin so hard that he managed to draw blood, and he continued to watch Duo as he laid on the bed, spasming in pain.

Wufei had placed the girl in his own bathroom and locked her in, but when he went a few hours later to question her on Duo’s condition, him and Trowa (who was with him to help him out) discovered that she had found Wufei’s shaving blades and her blood now covered the whole of Wufei’s bathroom floor and her dead body laid in the bath tub. Wufei glared at her for taking her own life. “She was weak.” He informed Trowa who had moved to the intercom that was linked up with the PHQ. “We need a clean up crew.” Trowa informed the guy sitting at the desk somewhere in the PHQ. “Yes Sir, one will be there straight away.” “It’s the Special Core House, you know where that is?” “Yes Sir! Give them a few minutes.” “Thank You.” Wufei sighed and looked at Trowa who had just hung up. “She took the easy way out, she’s dead, a quick easy death, while we are forced to watch our friend died in pain.” “Duo isn’t dying. He’s a fighter Wufei and right now he had so much to fight for that I don’t think a simple drug is going to kill him.” Wufei snorted. “I hope you are right my friend.”

Sally placed a cold towel over Duo’s forehead and sighed. It had been four hours since she had pumped his stomach but there was still no sign that he would wake up. She found herself holding tightly onto Duo’s braid, and she stared at the pale, closed eyelids. “Sally?” The thin lips moved slowly making Sally jump in surprise. Duo’s eyes were still closed but he had spoken! “You’re awake.” “I feel like shit.” He whispered back, one of his eyes opening so he could stare at her. She gave a short laugh and helped him drink a few slips of water before telling him to go back to sleep. Once she was sure Duo was asleep, she summoned the rest of the house and examined Duo. “I have good and bad news.” She told them. “Good news?” “Duo will be alright. He woke up a few minutes again and was able to drink so water. He’ll be fine. However, it will take a few days before his muscles will be strong enough for him to be able to move.” “The tasks.” Quatre sighed. Wufei nodded. “Devalin will see this as failure and will…” The phone began to ring, cutting Wufei off and making the whole group jump.

Devalin smirked at Heero who was glaring daggers at him. “Finally, someone picked up. Sweet young Quatre how are you?” Devalin greeted as the small blonde preventer picked up the phone on the other end. “Devalin Duo will be unable…” “I know, I can hear you all perfectly well. Should I come round now to finish Duo’s life or leave it to the morning?” Mike growled. “DEVALIN, it’s your fault he’s in this state. You will wait until Duo is able to continue!” “No, I don’t think so. The next task will be tomorrow and since Duo is in no state to try and do it, it would be best to call it quits now and let me finish the job so Duo will no longer be in pain.” Devalin’s hand, the one not holding the phone, was playing idly with a gun and every now and then he would paused and aim it at Heero who sat there, unflinching. “No, no, Mr Brooke, I am a busy man, I need to
do this task tomorrow or I will…” Devalin stopped and looked round at Heero. “Pardon?”
* * *
The group couldn’t see what was going on but they could hear Devalin and Heero clearly. “You’ll do what?” Devalin drawled. “I’ll take Duo’s place. He is unable to do the task, so I will do it instead. It’s the same kind of deal for you so what does it matter which one of us does it?!” Mike bit his lip; Duo would never forgive himself if something happened to Heero. “Listen Heero, don’t do this, Duo…” “Be quiet Mike-San!” Relena hissed. “Let Heero do this.” Devalin shrugged on the end of the line. “Very well. The next task, takes place at the time and place I stated early. I will see you all then.” Devalin hung up. “No one tells Duo this, got it? I’ll tell him when he wakes up.” Mike shooed everyone part from Sally out of the room and then he sat down and sighed as he watched Sally once again check Duo over.
* * *
Heero stared Devalin straight in the eye. “Very well, Mr Yuy, you will take Mr Maxwell’s place, but it doesn’t matter, in the end I will still take both your lives.” Heero smiled. “We’ll see.” Before he turned and walked out of Devalin’s office into the arms of a guard who showed him the way back towards his own room. Devalin watched him go, a snarl filled his throat and he smashed the TV in his anger. He thought he had him, there and then!!! “God damn it!” He swore before he began to laugh. “Oh yes, Mr Yuy, we will see.” Devalin quieten himself and he smiled again. “In the end, we will all see, Mr Yuy.”
(1) Honest truth, I don’t have a fucking clue about medicine and honestly I don’t have the time to do the smallest amount of research on this small little minor detail. Ok, it’s quite a big thing but you know what I mean. (2) Best drink to have when you need to think, of course that is bearing in mind you don’t have too much of it ^_~
