Scene
Two: Old Habits Don�t Disappear

Aristotle: Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate
by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.

She sat in the old depot truck, calmly navigating
her way through the debris and chaos.
Dekim Barton�s attempt at gaining control and subsequent kidnapping of
Relena Peacecraft had failed. She was
heading towards the Presidents Palace to act as a personal
liaison for Une, her Commander and head of the Preventers.

She started briefly as her
comm-unit went off ringing, barely avoiding a large pothole in the road. She swore softly under her breath before
answering the comm-unit, not allowing it to ring a second time at even less
opportune moment.

�Po here!� Sally snapped hoping
that she was not coming off too angrily to the other person.

�Sally,� Commander Une�s voice was
clear and demanded direct response. �Are
you almost on site?�

�Yes ma�am,� Sally responded quickly
making a sharp turn around a giant chunk of concrete. �My ETA is approximately seven minutes. My task is still the same, correct?�

an>�an>�Une�s worried about something,�
Sally told herself, picking up on the slight tense quality in Une�s voice. �I don�t have the time to figure her out
right now. everever it is it�ll have to
wait until I have more time, hopefully it�s not too important.�

�Yes, you�re task is unchanged,� Une
confirmed briskly. �Find the Pilots and
confirm their status. Be careful
Sally. That zone is still hot.�

�I know Lady,� Sally said. �I can handle it.�

�I know you can,� Une
commented. �Just don�t go getting
yourself hurt or killed. This organization
needs you.�

�I won�t,� Sally promised her
friend. � �Hm, well
that one has failed before. I�ll try the
next one then. Heero,� Duo now looked
and sounded extremely contrite. �I�m
really sorry man, but I tried to give Wing an upgrade, and I know you said
never to touch your Gundam but I thought it would be a surprise. I think I screwed up something pretty badly
though.� The group held their breath,
even Sally, but there was no reac.Sally backed him on his choice, agreeing it
was the safest way to move Heero.

Gingerly Duo lifted Heero until he
was almost seated upright and then lowered him onto Quatre anfei�fei�s arms,
they were supporting his back. Sally
made sure that Duo was holding Heero�s head properly before joining Trowa in
taking a leg. As one being they hefted
his prone form and began to meticulously navigate their way out of their
cor

�Try to keep Heero slightly
upright,� Sally instructed Duo. �Trowa,
I�ll need your assistance with something else.�

Trowa instantly understood her
silent message and gently lowered Heero�s leg in tandem with Sally. What they were about to do would not bother
either of them, because they were both soldiers and practical. After Sally had checked the pulse to be sure
that the soldier really was dead, they shoved the dead body off the
stretcher. Occasionally the living
appeared dead, something Sally had learned as a field doctor and it never hurt
to check to be certain. There was no
objection or commentary from the other three Pilots and after checking to be
certain that the stretcher had no bodily fluids on it, they placed Heero gently
onto it.

She stood back as the four Pilots
hefted the stretcher, one at each corner, and followed after her as she walked
away from the destruction. She found her
truck being well guarded and they climbed aboard. The four of them stayed in the back of the
truck making sure that the stretcher was held steady and Heero was comfortable. Thirty minutes later they were at the best
hospital that Sally knew of in the area.
They saw to it that Heero was settled into a private suite, one that
Quatre Winner would pay for along with all the other medical charges. Anxiously they awaited the results of the
brain wave and head scans.

She looked around the little group
of them noting just how rag-like and tired they were. It was a miracle that they were all alert
enough to notice every passing nurse, orderly and doctor that came by on their
rounds.

�But their training won�t leave them
easily,� Sally thought trselrself as she fiddled with one of her two twists of
hair. �Even though it�s been over a year
since the last war. They won�t forget so
easily, they may never forget.�

While waiting for the results, Sally
overheard Quatre place a call to WEI, his business empire. He got a hold of the personal real estate
agent, Emily Peterson. Two hours later
he man aan announcement to the group, a smile lighting up his worried
expression, only slightly though.

�Miss Peterson, WEI�s real estate
agent has found and purchased a house for me not far from Heero�s hospital,�
Quatre said glancing over at his three comrades. �You�re all welcome to come back with me and
stay for as long as you like.�

There were various mumbles but Duo
gave Quatre a tiny smile that made the blond Arabian relax. There ere all tense, who would not have
been? But at the same time, even though
the main danger had passed they were unable to relax. Even Sally had relaxed somewhat but the
Pilots were cautious.

�That�s what makes them different,� she
realized. �They are willing to take all
of this on their shoulders and keep it on their shoulders. They fight when they don�t have to and they
are always ready to fight.�

Finally the test results came
back. They contained good news and
finally Sally was able to persuade Duo to leave with them back to Quatre�s
newly purchased home. He seemed to need
the rest more than any of them. She had
been afraid that she would have to drug Duo because he was so restless. He looked as though he had not slept for
days, running purely on adrenaline as though he might drop at any moment and
yet he was the most alert out of the entire group. The circles under his eyes told her that this
sleep deprivation was nothing new.

�Don�t worry about him Sally,� Trowa
said catching her anxious glance in Duo�s direction.

�He needs to relax and get some rest
Trowa,� She protested to the Pilot from L3.
�If he doesn�t he�ll collapse soon.
The human body can only take so much strain and Duo�s already pushed
past his limits.�

�Duo isn�t exactly normal,� Trowa
said with a barely contained smile as they watched the rest of the group enter
the house.

�I know that,� Sally was beginning
to become agitated as she watched Duo pacing and prowling about like a caged
animal.

�No,� Trowa shook his head
gently. �I meant that he�s different
from the rest of us. All of us have seen
him go an entire week without sleeping and it in no way hampered in his
performance while we were hiding in schools or on missions. It�s normal for Duo to go up to two days with
no sleep at all. And before this whole
battle began he had a brief nap in Dekim Barton�s holding cell for about twenty
minutes. Duo grew up sleeping when and
where he could for only short periods at a time. And his controller trained him to stay awake
without any stimulants for more than a week at a time.�

�That doesn�t make any sense from
what I heard from Wufei,� Sally reminded herself.
