The only one but me part 1

The July sun shown down from the trees above, something about the sun made me fell so alive. It seemed like years since I had seen the sun, well ever since I spent an eternity in the vastness of my hyperbolic chamber. I remembered it like yesterday, my body floating around in the emptiness of space. In suspended animation all my memories wrapped around me and this tomb like coffin.
 I shook off the memories, and returned to my normal life 25 years had passed since then and to me everything was still new. My hair had grown over the past few years, my life was almost perfect except one thing. The world had changed and so had the people in it. All my friends and family were gone, I had left my husband and 2 children behind to become this stranger in my own world, and all I had to remember them by was the pictures that I had taken before the incident.
I shook my head slightly, all this reminiscing had to be put behind me, I was here to have fun. So that nothing could ruin my day. I tightened my straps on my backpack and headed up the side of the mountain. I had decided to go camping so I could get away from it all. As I walked my steal toed boots clung to the mountains rocky surface. Back when I had wanted to do this I couldn't have, the colonies were still at war, and know one was aloud outside at these times. The president was afraid and trying to cover that with his people, sending countless men and women to their deaths, everyone was on edge especially the soldiers. I had been in the secret services at the time, my husband had been the 2nd in command, next to the first in command and that was none other than Heero Yuye. My brother had been in the army as well, we were all pilots. Quatra never wanted to do it but he did it so that daddy would stop bitching. It was traditional that the first born son would go fight for his country and out of 14 of use Quatra was the only boy. I had been the 13th born so I was lucky I got to grow up with my little brother. Some people thought we were twins, the facts were wrong of course but I wouldn't have complained about it tho. I loved being the baby of the family, even though I turned out to be more tom boyish than Quatra would ever amount to. We grew up wealthy we never wanted for anything. Then one day daddy was shot and killed we vowed never to let that go. We returned to earth him in sand-rock, and me in the Voucher. Wanting nothing more than revenge for our fathers death. But once we landed everything changed, we watched as we suck deeper into the calamity of this place, people were afraid and at the worst time they were being miss lead, tricked into fighting a meaningless war, our anger wavered and we began to feel sorry for them, and soon began to fight along side of them. I meet my husband in August, it was cold that year but Quatra insisted to stay outside. I had begun to hate the climate changes of this place, My breathed steamed as I breathed out over the cup of coffee in my hand. On out journey to the desert we had run into unlikely people Trowa Barton and Chang Wufei. I felt like an outcast around them, as if I was the only one that could do anything. Well in Wufei's eyes I was a slave, and he quickly found out found out other wise. He had demanded that I sleep with him, after landing a jaw cracking left hook to his lower jaw line he planed other wise. Quatra had laughed it off and had stopped our tussle by standing in-between us, Quatra facing Wufei and Trowa facing me, I never noticed him I glared right through him and into my brothers head at Wufei.
Later that night I sat by the fire when the sound of bombs going off behind us, had brought me to my feet. The army of earth had found us, know wrong they had found trespassers, and they were leading them right toward us, in a flash I had gotten to my feet and gotten into Voucher. Her engines pured under me as she quickly stood up to face the on coming foes. The commotion had woken Trowa, Quatra, and Wufei as well they quickly boarded their Gundams as well. Trowa in heaveyarms, Wufei in dragon, and Quatra in sand-rock. Before I could blink they were on top of us, in a series attacks it was not far after until they had us surrounded. That was the day that I meet my husband to be. But just like anyone else I would never know that, at first I thought he was a bumbling idiot, who was just a happy teenage boy.
They had us surrounded and as they did they took over our weapons. I awoke in a dark room, the only light that was able to escape into the room was from the the square air vents that loomed over head. The distinct sound of chains rattling drew my attention as I slowly arose in the darkness, as my eyes began to adjust to the almost invisible light I could then begin to make out objects. My brother lay ahead of me, his small face bruised and beaten. He lay on his stomach his arms stretched out beside him, as if he had recently been rolled over. In this state of mind I panicked and began to quickly crawl toward him, the chains around my wrist tugged hard as I neared him snatching my wrist out from under me, falling on my face. I coughed out in surprise, something was holding me back, the sound of someone shallow breathing came from behind me in the deep shadows of the darkness, I had just come out of. I sighed and tugged at the chains again, causing what ever it was holding me back to groan out, I stopped quickly the sound of the voice was different. I looked back at my brothers body, his arms chained as well, as I followed the curved chain on the floor it lead to another body, I could tell by the shape of the body, that is was none other than Trowa. I began to search the room again, where I noticed the greasy hair of Wufei across the room bound as well, he was unconscious I could tell and couldn't quiet help but to smile at the thought of him bound and gaged in this retched place. I moved closer to the body to the person I was chained to running my hand over the floor to find his body, I found myself taken back. The feel of his hair startled me at first, or maybe it was the length of it that done it. As I explored the my new found cell-mate, the slight movement of his arm caught me by surprise. Before I could could draw into a fighting stance I was pulled into his body the chains of his cuffs wrapped around my neck the only thing stopping him from cutting off my airways was my thumbs I had thrown up to stop the clash of chains trying to break my treakea. The noise had awoke everyone in the room.I gritted my teeth heavily as I concentrated on the body behind me, wanting nothing more than to slam this creep into the wall behind me. "Raven!" that shrill voice, the flowed around the area, was none other than my brother, I bared down pulling the being over my back and smashing him into the floor in-front of me. I looked down on him as I hovered over him before moving over and walking toward my brother. He sat on the floor his big blue eyes looking up at me, I slowly bent down till we were face to face, "so little brother how do we get out of this ordeal?" Quatra smiled and looked around silently "has anyone been in here?" "No" I spoke quickly as I felt the chains move from my cell-mate, he had decided to move closer his hair trailing down past his waist. I rolled my eyes quickly and shook my head. Quatra was using his "I'm thinking face" so all I could do is sit there and wait, as we looked around the area.
Quatra snapped looked and looked around the room, "Okay Raven you and...uh" Quatra looked at the boy I was chained to "I'm Duo Maxwell" Quatra nodded "okay Raven you and Duo make a lot of noise so that the guard come in, Then when he has his back turned Trowa and I will attack him form the back." I nodded quickly and glanced over at Duo, and evil smirk on my face. Duo sweat dropped trying to cover up his worry. In one quick movement I had lunged at him. Causing us to tumble around the floor,making the chains rattled loudly. Duo hollered out in surprise at my sudden movements, and to the fact that I had just jumped on-top of him. The sounds of the tussle caused the guard to come through one of the hidden doors in the darkness. The guard yelled and ran toward us as we rolled around the floor, in the darkness through our scuffle I was able to see Trowa and Quatra slowly moving toward the guard their chains to there cuffs drawn tight.
I quickly tossed myself off of Duo, as Trowa and Quatra wrapped their chain around the guards neck snapping his neck loudly and quickly. Quatra cringed as the guard fell to the ground, his body falling heavily with a loud thump. I slowly stood up, as I did Duo had this look on his face, showing confusing and under neath that I could have swore I saw the look of amazement on his face. I chuckled lightly and waited for the keys, as Trowa began to unlock his and Quatra's chains. With a thud all of our chains dropped quickly to the floor. I made it to the door first, the light from outside the room quickly causing us to stiffen into the light, as if it was the first time we had ever seen any kind of light. As out eyes grew accustom to the surrounding brightness, I quickly grabbed Quatra's sleeve and began to head down the hallway. Sure I had no idea were I was going, but at the moment I was in no mood to put up with the boys.
A few months later I remember sitting on the couch stretched out with a book in-front of me, Quatra had said something about having a few people over but I thought nothing of it. Hell Quatra always had someone over, grant it it was almost always Trowa but hey I couldn't say anything he was happy and thats all that mattered. I lay on the couch a book in my hands, slowly thumbing through the pages. The shadows of people danced around me as Quatra let his friends in. Duo stood at the end of the couch, his eyes watching Quatra as he moved around the room. I blinked his blue-violet eyes shimmered in the day light slowly coming across his form. I felt myself gasp at his stunning features, no invertible scares were visible on him, well from were I sat the only one that could be seen, was the light straight line under his bottom lip, as if curled under-ward. I blinked, "what was wrong with me, I couldn't think like that I was a gundam pilot for god sakes." I shook my head and slowly tore my gaze back to my book. That night I sat in my room, over looking the front door below. Standing in the darkness I watched as Quatra let his friends leave the house, as I stood their watching each one leave I began to contemplate, Duo's image jumping around my head the entire time "why do I fell this way about a complete stranger, what was so special about him. I couldn't be feeling this way a 1st class, A ranked pilot didn;t have feelings, specially for a C ranked pilot." I growled heavily and plopped down on my bed.
