For mechante_fille: GW/Xmen- Not exactly the next part of my series... this is just playing with Maria's idea and the fact that Wolvie is older than he looks...
GW/Xmen
"So, what did the Prof want us to do exactly?" Duo followed Heero out of the mansion, squinting at the sky. "It looks like it's going to rain."
"We're going up into the mountains- he wants us to pick something up."
Duo lifted an eyebrow. "Somethin' or someone?"
"Something. Not feeling up to it Cajun?"
"Just seems odd, you askin' me along on a easy job like this."
Heero grinned, showing all of his teeth. "I didn't say it was going to be easy- there might be something up there protecting it..."
"Ah," Duo nodded, his eyes twinkling. "Got it. So I'm drivin', yes?"
"No. Your car can't handle the roads up there." Heero waved him into the garage. "We're taking one of mine."
He led Duo to the last space and yanked the tarp off the car sitting there.
"Is that a Willys?" Duo blinked at the jeep in shock. "Where did you get it?"
"I've had it since the war," Heero shrugged. "Was keeping her with an old friend for a bit, but I decided I wanted her around again."
Duo sat down in the passenger seat, obviously fascinated. Heero opened the garage door and then joined Duo in the jeep.
"Heero- what the hell is all that stuff under the dash?"
"Just some modern conveniences I added a while back." Heero started the jeep and backed out of the garage.
"Modern conveniences?" Duo lifted an eyebrow. "Heero- that looks like an 8 track player."
"It was modern when I installed it!" Heero protested.
Duo rolled his eyes. "Discs are modern- 8 tracks are not."
"It plays music, what more do I need?"
"It does?"
"Sure, look under your seat." Heero focused on the road as Duo reached cautiously under his seat and pulled out a battered shoebox.
"Best Hits of the Carpenters? ABBA? KC & the Sunshine Band?" He flipped through the contents, wide eyed. "Do you listen to anythin' new?"
Heero shrugged. "Music is music."
Duo shook his head. "How did I manage to hook up with someone with no taste?"
"I don't recall you complaining about my taste before."
"Not that taste." Duo rolled his eyes again. He picked one of the 8 tracks up. "You know, this has a good heft on it..."
"That starts glowing and you're going to be singing soprano, Cajun." Heero lifted a hand off the wheel, one claw sliding out to tap Duo's wrist. "Put it in the player or drop it."
"You're no fun." Duo popped the 8-track into the player. "I'd bet they do a fine explosion..."
"Just like I'd bet those discs of yours would be good Frisbees."
"Fine, fine, you win, old man. I won't touch your old tapes."
"I prefer the term 'classic'."
"Oh- antique."
"Priceless."
"Derelict." Duo nodded as Heero sputtered. "They've been around a long time, yes?"
"That just means they've withstood the test of time well."
Duo lifted an eyebrow and ran his gaze over Heero. "Can't argue with that one, cher..."
