Duo groaned from where he was pressed against the wall of a building, the bullet wound in his side was bleeding sluggishly - even if the bullet had gone straight through. He couldn’t believe that this had once again happened.
He knew that being part of the preventers as he couldn’t set aside his past as an agent would come to bite him in the ass. This in fact, was not the worst wound he had gotten in his lengthy career. That however didn’t stop him from muttering, “Not this again”, as the blood loss was getting to him.
Shaking his head, he persevered, he needed to meet up with the other former-pilots, to make sure that the targets they had gotten, and the ones that had been meeting and planning an assasination attempt on Relena, were taken out.
Feeling the earpiece in his left ear start to transmit, he was almost too happy to hear Quatre’s voice sound through it. The blond seemed to know as something was going on with him - as they should know by now. Duo was the most accident prone after all.
“Duo, Heero in on route to where you are. Just stay there, I can feel you weakening, if you keep pushing yourself that won’t end well.”
Duo hummed, “Copy Q-cat, I’ll wait here for our number one.”
A voice next to him had him startling, looking into blue eyes, “Heard the Shinigami almost went to look for himself again.”
Chuckling, Duo took hold of the hand Heero gave him, letting the other man pull him upright and support him as they made their way to the shuttle Quatre had prepared for them. Their blond friend really thought about everything, and had the connections to make it all happen.
With Heero’s help, he got to the shuttle just fine, sitting as the nursing staff on board fussed over him. He was fine, the bullet had gone through, and had not hit anything vital. He was just unwell from the bloodloss, but then again, he had been on the whole other side of town when he got shot just before taking out his target.
“So, we all accounted for?”
Quatre nodded, “You were the last one. We’re getting off of the colony in a minute, just rest -as you’re getting checked into the med bay on Earth - again, I might add.”
Duo rolled his eyes, glancing at Heero and seeing the other man grin at that. Quatre really should know that he and Heero were the ones needing the med bay more often. It wasn’t that much of a surprise, not after all the years they had known each other. At least they were all conscious right now, as that had been different in other times.
