Secrets and Lies Part 2
Looking at the petite woman in the doorway Duo wondered what she had done to cause his compatriot to stare at her with such undisguised fear. She wasn't much, delicate features not half as beautiful as her son's. Shoulder length black hair, porcelain skin and brown eyes that could never be called warm. This was Heero's mother?
"I knew you weren't dead '8-5-5-18-15'. I made you too well. A simple explosion couldn't destroy my masterpiece. Imagine my anger when I discovered that fool had stolen you. My billion dollar son."
"Hn."
"Tsk, Tssk I see allowing you to stay with my old mentor for far too long has been detrimental to your training. Even if I have been carefully watching you all this time."
Duo watched Heero turn even paler if possible.
"I can't believe you've sunk so low son. To not only allow a breeder to possess your interest, but to also possess your body. The flesh that I worked so hard to perfect. You disgust me."
Duo saw Heero's head jerk back as if struck but the silent boy didn't back down.
*****
Heero could remember not to long ago a game he had played with Relena. She knew his dirty little secret.
~Flashback~
Ignoring the stares of everyone Heero set his jaw thankful that Duo wasn't there to see his humiliation.
"Fine Relena, Truth"
Her blue eyes had sparkled so brightly at his sigh of defeat but some how they failed to spark a response in his heart.
"What five things are more important then life to you?"
"Hn, easy. 5. My gun 4. Wing 3. My laptop 2. My Mission 1. Duo Maxwell"
Total silence had descended.
~End Flashback~
"I am only human m... mother. I did nothing wrong."
Her eyes flashed in fury at his defiance and she stepped forward to hit him in a fit of rage her metal ring cutting the delicate skin of Heero's lip before she visibly gathered herself back together. As a chilling smile descended on her face Heero recognized the familiar mad fanaticism in her eyes.
"I see you have been corrupted my child. Too bad that foolish man destroyed all my research when he destroyed the lab. I don't have the time to start from the beginning again. It would have been simpler to kill you and that boy but now I'll just have to finish your final modifications."
The idea of what that might mean was too much for Heero's overwrought senses to contemplate. His eyes rolled back in his head and his body fell limp against the bed.
*****
No longer silent, Duo gave the woman a glare worthy of his lover. "Bitch, What the Fuck do you think your doing to my Hee-chan?" The anger revealed his emotions more clearly then any endearment.
"Far less then you will, boy." She replied with an evil smirk and two men came in pushing a cart of instruments. She snapped some latex gloves on and picked up a large syringe carefully filling it with the contents of a green vial. The sight of the milky substance filled Duo with unease. She viciously stabbed his thigh and Duo was aware of a feeling like acid crawling beneath his skin.
"Heero never was, nor ever will belong to anyone but me." She whispered then everything faded away.
