Across The Winds
Chapter 14
Zeros Lost Soul
“Heero, can I talk to you for a minute?” Hilde seemed genuinely concerned as she stood in the doorway to the kitchen, leaning against the door jam. Heero glanced at her from the table where he was working on an order form for a part for the garage. He nodded and she walked over to sit across from him. “Heero, I’ve noticed something very strange in the past few months.”
“What’s that?” He asked looking up from his paper.
“You know I do the budget, well, there are a lot of un-accounted for order forms. Part forms. The prices come out right, but the papers don’t say what part there for.” Heero knew what she was talking about. “Well, I looked on the invoices and shipping records. They were mobile suit parts, specifically, high performance and parts made from better quality materials, especially, gundanium. The parts are also all paid for out of your built up credit and your own wages.”
“I know about them, obviously, because I ordered the parts, paid for them, and installed them.” He stated like a confession.
“Installed them on what?”
“Zero.” Hilde’s eyes widened.
“I thought all the gundams were self detonated. To emphasize demilitarization.”
“Duo, Trowa, and Quatre detonated theirs almost immediately, Wufei wanted to take it back to china with him before he started with preventors. Last I know of, he detonated his as well.” Heero was staring out the window as he spoke. He let out a heavy sigh and looked down at the table before he continued. “During the event with Dekim Barton and Mariemei, Zero’s reactor went into meltdown and the damage it had sustained was to much for it to take and it overloaded, Zero crashed into the mountainside, I recovered it a few days later, I kept in hiding before I brought it to L2 and began rebuilding it. I didn’t realize I could use the garage and scrap yard to get the parts I needed until after I had been living here for a few weeks.”
Hilde was silent as he spoke, her mind was filled with questions, mostly ones that were unimportant, ’how had he gotten it to L2? How do you hide a mobile suit in an active city?’ so many questions filled her head, but one above all, Why? “Are you preparing for something? Do you expect another uprising?”
“No I don’t. I don’t really know why I rebuilt zero, I guess I just wasn’t ready to give up the soldier’s life.”
“A soldier with no war to fight.”
“I think now, I’d rather give it up, but I can’t yet, I’m not convinced that I can live in peace.” Heero hung his head low as Hilde sat down next him and leaned her head on his shoulder while wrapping an around his back.
“Not everyone can let go as soon as their leaders tell them to, but that is what led to peace in the first place isn’t it?”

. I am sort of one of those people who are more into the Relenaxany pilot stories so this is the first one I have read which is focused on Heero pairing up with another female charcater besides Relena.
. 
. I just never took actual fics dedicated to Heero paired with someone else before into interest but thanks to this, I am once again broadening my likes in assorted GW pairings 
.
See ya!!
