Secrets and Lies Part 4
When Heero finally allowed himself to return, he felt sick to his stomach and the nausea had little to do with the blood he had lost or the intense pain that danced across his nerves. He had no doubt that this was his mother's fault. The one thing in his life that had been private, special, she had tried to taint. She may have thought she succeeded but she was wrong. While his body may have been torn and broken, it would heal. His heart though... his soul was intact. He knew the differences in touch. How could he not after so long? That may have been his beloved's body but he had no doubt that his Duo would never treat anyone like that.
It lasted for three days. Every morning she would return to take him away to be patched up and conduct more tests. First, they always made sure to drug Duo into unconsciousness, or else he wouldn't let anyone near Heero. His body was slowly adjusting to the drugs and his strength returning, but he was careful not to reveal it. The third morning he was able to attack her. He killed her then methodolicly killed every other living thing in the lab. No one escaped but him and Duo. He had carried his lover's unconscious form out and incinerated the lab.
The memories of what he did to the boy he loved had destroyed Duo when they were able to return him to himself. He stopped smiling dwelling in memories of the monster he had become. He couldn't even touch Heero without flinching and Heero couldn't live with the knowledge that no matter how inadvertently, he had destroyed his best friend. Not when he had walked into their room one day to find Duo laying in a pool of his own blood both wrists slashed. They had saved him just barely.
So Heero had gone to J to get the implant removed and find out what his mother had done to him. He figured he could ask J about Duo. The results of his mother's experiments and surgery were gruesomely obvious. A baby. It should have been a miracle, life born of their love. Instead it was more like a curse.
