For Plaid and Sunny
Horrible Universe: Duo and Quatre going zero for something that has to do with Heero and Trowa. This takes place after the last drabble- where some mad scientist type had messed with Heero's suit? Tro decided to take a look at it- and something bad happened...
Horrible Drabble 7
Quatre's phone rang. Glancing down he noted the number and slipped out of the hospital room. He tapped the answer key and said: "he's going to be fine. They are giving him a transfusion, but then he can go home."
The feeling of relief on the other end of the phone didn't last long. "You mean, he's going to be fine for someone that has a metal armor suit merged with his bone marrow."
"Duo-"
"Trowa's going to be fine. There is going to be some scarring- but they think he'll be awake soon."
"I hope so." Quatre closed his eyes. He couldn't sense anything from his lover at the moment... and he didn't like that blank feeling at all.
He heard Duo sigh on the other end. "I wish there was a way to combine our hospitals, but that wouldn't fly, would it?"
"If I can think of a way..."
"I know, you'll do it. I wish you could think of a way to track down this idiot who caused all this. Messing with Heero's suit, then adding in all those traps in case someone messed with it-"
"I am tracking him down. I have several people on it already and when I find him..."
Duo laughed. "When you find him, I say we both pay him a little visit. He needs to know exactly what happens when he messes with the people we love. "
Quatre's phone beeped and he held it away from his ear to see the screen. "Ah. You wouldn't be up for that visit now would you? I just got a message from one of my searchers- they've found him."
"Tell me the address- I'll meet you there."

Heero had propped himself up on the couch carefully, wincing a little as he moved the pillows around. Hopefully, the soreness would ease soon. He glanced at the clock and frowned. It was very late and he'd expected to find Duo home...
"JAYS?"
"Yes sir?"
"Any messages for me?"
"No sir. Can I do anything for you?"
"Flip a news screen up for me, will you? I want to see if I missed anything."
"Very good sir."
There wasn't much in the news. Just the weather, a few game scores and the news that a warehouse had caught on fire down near the docks. Before the firemen could get there, the building had collapsed into the water.
Heero frowned. There weren't any reports of villains or heroes in the area, but he wondered if there was something he should look into...
"Hello gorgeous," a voice breathed in his ear and Heero repressed the urge to jump.
"Duo- there you are. I was getting worried." He turned to look at his lover and frowned a little. "What happened to you?"
"Nothing much," Duo grinned as he swiped at a soot mark on his cheek. "Just dealing with some vermin." He leaned over and kissed Heero. "How are you feeling, love?"
"Fine, a little sore, but fine."
"Come and take a shower with me...?"

Trowa was surprised to find Quatre waiting for him on the sidewalk in front of the hospital. "How did you know I was being released today? And how did you find this place?"
"Duo told me." Quatre opened the car door and reached out a hand. "Get in so I can take you home?"
Trowa slid into the seat carefully, very aware of how Quatre was studying his every move.
"How are you feeling?"
"Better." Trowa rubbed his shoulder a little self-consciously. "The doc said there would be a scar or two."
"I heard," Quatre ghosted his fingers over Trowa's shoulder, catching his hand and entwining their fingers. "I'm glad it's nothing worse."
"Me too." Trowa leaned back in his seat and yawned a little. "Sorry, the doc said I'd be tired the next few days because of the gas. I can't believe that guy built traps into Heero's system- though I should have guessed. He's diabolically clever..."
"Was," Quatre interjected with a smile. "He was clever." He nodded towards the glove compartment. "There's a gift in there for you- well, for Heero really, but I know you will like it too."
Trowa opened the glove box with his free hand and found a small memory stick. "What's this?"
"His notes. All of them. What he did to Heero, other things he was planning on doing- it's all there."
Trowa blinked. "Wait a... how did you get this?"
Quatre smiled at angelically at him. "Oh, I asked him for it and he gave it to me."
"You just asked him for it?"
"Yes. Oh, Duo was asking too. He was very persuasive."
Trowa thought for a moment of what it would be like having Duo and Quatre- or Wraith and Mindseye- asking for something persuasively. His mouth went dry and he swallowed hard.
He wondered if he should ask what had happened to the guy, but then.....looking at over Quatre, his lover illuminated by the sunlight, driving happily, humming under his breath...
Maybe it was better not to know.
