----------------------
Squinting blearily at the keys,
Duo finally abandoned his attempts to make the two images he was seeing link up
as one, and just squinted one eye shut, typing hunt-and-peck style with his face
only inches away from the keyboard. Once finished, he solemnly clicked 'check
spelling' and spent five minutes slowly entering all the words the spell-checker
didn't recognise into its memory before hitting
'send'.

Hey Hee-chan -
I'm not
going to make it to the safehouse on my own. 'Scythe and me had a bit of trouble
on that last mission. I'm kind of banged up and 'Scythe is even worse. I don't
think I can get the repairs that 'Scythe needs to get us home done by myself.
Not to mention that I need a few sets of stitches, most in places I can't reach.
I mean, I can do the ones in my leg, I suppose, but personal surgery creeps me
out. Have I told you how creeped-out I was when you set your own leg on Howard's
ship? Well, I was VERY creeped-out.
We're about one hour SSW of the
safehouse. I've set the beacon in case I fall asleep. Wouldn't want you to go
right by me or anything. And bring some aspirin. I have a killer
headache.
Hope to see you soon.
Duo
P.S. Don't tell the
guys. Quatre will worry.

Duo-
On my way. DO NOT
fall asleep. You sound like you have a concussion.
Heero
P.S. No,
I won't tell anyone. And if you don't stop changing my e-mail alias to strange
things, I will... think of something to do in revenge. I mean
it.

Quatre looked up
from his book, frowning slightly.
"Heero, where are you
going?"
"Out."
