Lost and Found

By: Sugar

"APF home for misplaced children" I muttered to myself, as I clicked the link to yet another site pertaining to the Anti pacifist front. What was it with these terrorist groups, why couldn't they just be happy with the peace? But of course that would be too much to ask of them, after all not all those former soldiers are good enough to join preventers, and those rebel members of the maremeia incident the ones that truly wanted war, suffering, and power were still out there. Each of them setting up deadly organizations behind seemingly peaceful fronts,

Yes the APF's leader was smart, as most people would be sympathetic towards the people running fifteen orphanages across the colonies, but of course that's why preventors were formed. To detect potential threats and eliminate them, the same way the Gundam pilots had during the war, through stealth, research and planning.

The site window opens before my eyes, and I can see the large banner entreating visitors to give a donation, "feed those, who cannot feed themselves" there motto flashed. I laughed, children could feed themselves, and Duo, my room mate was a living testament to that fact. I moved the cursor over to where it stated, "click for more information" and just before I could click another window popped open, stating in bold red letters,

"Have you seen this child?" beneath was a picture of a little boy, no more that three.

"Oh my god…" I breathed pushing rapidly away from the screen, causing the chair to fall with a loud bang in the process. My heart rate speed up, and I felt my hands go clammy… Calm down Heero, you've faced mobile suits, torture, and death a million times; this is nothing in comparison…calm down... I chanted then risking yet another glance at the child on the screen, my mind processing the facts, and I knew I couldn't deny it.

That child on the screen was none other than a three year old version of me.

"Heero, you ok?" the low tenor of my room mate questioned.

"hn" I replied praying that he'd just go away and leave me alone. I desperately needed to think.

"are you sure? I thought I heard a crash" he persisted…

"everything's fine" I barked glaring at him.

"come on Heero I know something is bothering you…"

"its nothing… now leave me alone, I have work to do" I turned my attention back to the computer watching his reflection in the screen, feeling a pang of guilt as a pain filled expression flitted over his features, before he sighed, leaving me alone.

I turned my attention back to the web pages onscreen, and set about carefully copying down the phone number displayed in the missing child add. The child wasn't missing anymore, I was lost yes… but I would soon have my family back, or so I hoped.

I sighed, taking a few deep breaths to re-gain my focus, I had a responsibility to ensure that threats to the peace were annihilated, and I had a mission. Complete research of orphanage locations, and determine which was most likely to host the head offices… only fifty pages left… then my part of the mission would be complete…

About an hour later I stand up, stretching joints stiff from sitting still for so long. A quick glance at the clock reveals that it is 3pm; 'good' I think to myself 'Une would still be in her office'. Heading down stairs with the information I've gathered, I dial Preventers HQ on Une's private line. … a few moments later Une's face appears on screen.

"Hello Yuy, did you find the information?"

"of course, I'll send it too you now…"

"… actually Heero…the group is more dangerous than we previously thought… and the vice foreign minister has received a variety of threats."

"……" just what I needed now of all times… a mission.

"She has requested that you accompany her while officers Chang, Po, Maxwell, and Barton take out the APF HQ, manufacturing plants, and training stations."

I didn't know what to say, as much as I needed time off to pursue my personal mission, I would have to put it on hold for the greater good of humanity. It just seemed like I was protecting Relena a lot these days and wished I could go out on the mission instead… it was after all a bit insulting, not to mention Duo acts strangely whenever I spend long amounts of time in Relena's company. I'm really beginning to wonder what is wrong with those two, as Duo generally gets along with everyone and Relena's not usually so uptight. Oh well… that will have to wait…

"I accept commander, but only on one condition. I need an indefinite leave of absence once the mission is complete."

"WHAT! Explain yourself Yuy" she demands shocked.

"I found out some information about my past, and wish to pursue it…"

"Affirmative… I'll see what I can do…"

"Not just see Commander, you will grant me this leave... or I quit" I then hung up the phone, and turned to see Duo staring at me with the most adorably confused expression

"What?" I asked glaring at him, more than slightly annoyed that he'd listened in on that conversation.

"Oy! Heero calm down... I didn't hear very much…"

"hn…"

"I just can't believe that you workaholic, perfect soldier, the mission is always first Yuy, actually threatened to quit if you didn't get time off"

I shrugged, paying him no further attention. Instead I diverted my attention back to the piece of paper in my hands upon which I had clearly written the number from the advert. I was dreading making that phone call, and yet… I was looking forwards to it… it would be my family, the people that I was supposed to have grown up with. Besides I had a lot of questions to ask them, and so much to learn about what it meant to be just a normal civilian, and having a home would help me to learn. Or so I believed.

Later that night after dinner Duo and I were sitting on the couch watching some of the old movies that he likes to pick up. We'd watched about three, when my room mate had finally dozed off to sleep, head in my lap, braid flopped over one shoulder nearly touching the ground. As the movie ended, I made up my mind, turning the vid. Phone towards me, I checked my room mate to ensure that he was still sleeping, and then flipped the phone on. A deep breath to try and quell the anticipation rising up from the pit of my stomach, as I dialed the number… Vid feed turned off on my end, I waited, two rings, five rings… 10rings… then a face popped up onscreen.

"Hello…Lowe Residence…how can I help you" the Asian woman requested smiling at me from the screen.

"um… Hi…. I'm calling because I saw your add… for the missing child" I explained stomach churning as I watched the expressions flicker across her face. from simple formality to disbelief then anticipation, even as her sharp gasp reached my ears.

"… you... you have information, about my son? About Odin??" she breathed, eyes pleading

I took a deep breath saying, "I guess you could say I have information on him…"

"what do you want… please just tell me… I promise we'll pay you anything… just tell me what you know!" she rushed

reaching forwards I stated calmly as I hit the vid feed button. "It's me… I'm Odin" and watched as she burst into tears. "mumbling incoherently what sounded like, "oh god... my baby, my precious baby, thank you"

as I watched her, I felt a wetness drip down my own cheeks, and suddenly the screen displayed yet another person, a dark haired blue eyed man.

"it's him! Odin..." my mother stated again as the man and I stared at each other...

"you're not playing some prank kid?" I shook my head, whipping the now apparent moisture from my eyes.

"no… I am Odin…"

it was then that Duo decided to stir in my lap, his hand stretching outwards toward the view screen.

"ummm… I have to go…" I told my parents "but… I'll call you later"

"what Odin! Where are you?" my mother demanded

I felt my lips curl up in the slightest hint of a smile, "L1" and hung up. They're faces imprinted in my mind.

Once this mission was over… I would go to see them.

"mm Heero… you ok?" duo asked sleepily his fingertips tracing the tear stains down my cheeks.

I looked down at the face in my lap, and curved my lips up, slightly at the corners answering,

"fine, Duo, I'm just fine."

He looked at me as if I was from outer space
