Duo and Wufei had told them their story, everyone was staring at them dumbly and disbelievingly. Duo sighed, Here it comes…
“That is NOT Plossible!” Heero cried.
“N-no way, no how!” Howard said with his jaw open.
“My god, is it even… I mean… is…” Sally tried.
“I don’t see how you could think up such a story! Why would you try to deceive us like this! Tell us the truth!” Noin said as she slammed her hand down on the table.
But Quatre quieted them all with just a few words, “I believe you,” everyone starred at him.
“Quat—“ Heero started, Quatre laid a finger over his lips lovingly.
“How do you tell fledglings?”
“Well—“
“Wait! We need more proof of such a story,” Noin demanded.
Wufei sighed, then held up his hand, without even blinking a ball of fire appeared in his hand. It burned fiercely, then he tossed it to Noin. Noin shrieked as it hit her, but she remained unharmed. “Wha?” Noin picked it up, her hand untouched.
“Coldfire, it can online be made with magic, not possible with technologies, since it has boundaries,” Duo stated smiling.
“This is impossible,” Trowa said passing his hand through the fire.
“Got any fires, aside from the Coldfire, around here?’ Wufei asked.
“Ah yeah, over in the welding shop, but why?” Howard said, looking puzzled.
“Let’s go then,” Duo and Wufei headed towards the forge, the others trailing cautiously behind.
They reached forge, Wufei looked around at the melted metal and raging flames, smiled, then walked over to the flames easily, uneffected by the harsh heat. “No wait!” Duo grabbed Howard’s arm before he could continue, “But…”
“Don’t worry,” Duo said, nonchalantly.
Wufei continued to the flames, stuck his arm full into them. Everyone screamed in protest, but Wufei didn’t even blink, nor did Duo. He pulled his arm back out, expecting it to be melted off, a few turned away. But Wufei was unscathed, he walked back to them, “All Dragonlords are resistant to any sort of fire, since we basically breathe it in one form.”
“So, any fledgling—“ Noin began.
“No, no fledgling or human could, because their dragonsoul hasn’t asserted him/her self, their body remains fully human.”
“So, how do you tell fledgling apart?” Trowa said, now a believer.
“They are marked, and their power rises slowly till they Change. With this world it is hard to force an early Change, because our energy slowly builds itself, in their world it was one great burst of energy, they Changed, and then returned to normal.”
“What are possible markings?” Quatre asked.
“It can be anything from an extra finger or toe, to a birthmark,” Duo said with a shrug.
“How were you marked?” Heero proceeded.
“Me with my eyes, Wufei with his birthmark,” Duo first pointed to his own eyes then to Wufei.
“Let us see your birthmark, Wufei,” Sally said.
Wufei bent to pull down his sock and lift his pant leg to reveal the oddly shaped birthmark. Noin sucked in a breath. They all believed now.
“So, are there any fledgling here?” Heero inquired.
“We’re not sure, we haven’t seen any energy risings yet, and we don’t want to intrude and out right ask is there anything strange about you,” Wufei said.
“You sort of just did Fei,” Duo said smirking.
Wufei’s came out hit him across the chest in annoyance, “Hush!”
Quatre chuckled, “And this thing about soultwins, are you two twined, is that the right word?”
“Yeah, we’re twined, how’d you know?” Duo asked.
“You’re rubbing off on Wufei and he isn’t so uptight.”
“I was not THAT bad,” Wufei said, rolling his eyes.
“Uh-huh, yeah, riiiiight,” Duo said as he, unknowingly imitating Wufei.
Noin, Sally, and Quatre giggled at the same time, Wufei and Duo just glared at them, “Since it’s already out there, do you have any distinguishing marks?”
“I used to,” Trowa said hesitantly.
“Why used to?” Duo raised an eyebrow at him.
“It would have effected my piloting, I had a strange fringe along my spine, like my spinal discuses jutted out, it was sort of like the fringe along a dragon’s back.”
“Lift up the shirt,” Duo curtly.
Trowa blinked.
“They did surgery to file it down, right?” Trowa nodded, “Then you must have a scar from it, down your spine.”
Trowa nodded and lifted his shirt to show them the scars from the surgery. Duo blinked then looked up at Trowa, who looking back to try and see their expressions, “Tro, it’s growing back,” and it really was.
A small line of bones protruded from his back, it was thin and still growing, “Oh my god,” Trowa reached back to fell the fringe, he swallowed hard.
Wufei, what do you see? Duo mind spoke to him.
His energy is growing, not rapidly, but it’s growing a little faster than ours did. His Change must be close, don’t tell him anything, it may cause the energy to gather too quickly. Wufei looked at Duo seriously, who sent a sense of nodding back to him.
“Well, we’re not seeing any energy fluxes or such, but keep a watch out for anything stranger than this,” Duo winked at him reassuringly, Trowa lowered his shirt, only a little relieved.
“Anyone else?” Wufei asked.
“Ah, yeah…” Quatre started, “I have, um… My skin isn’t really this dark.”
“Then how—“ Duo began.
“Fake tan.”
“How pale are you in reality?”
“Pitch white.”
“Sorta like the Lady.”
“Really, her marking is pale skin?”
“It’s not pitch white, but it’s damn near close.”
Quatre smiled happily at Duo then looked and Heero, “Heero… Come on, show them.”
Heero grumbled with a glare aimed at him and refused, “Heero, it isn’t that bad! Show them!” Heero refused again.
Quatre set his hands on his hips and glowered at Heero, gave a sound of distaste, then, without warning, pushed Heero around and lifted his shirt. A huge, but faint, birthmark extended across the left side of his lower back, from the base of his ribs, to the top of his Buttocks, then from his side to his spine. Duo smiled, “It really isn’t that bad,” and examined the birthmark for a second before allowing Heero to let his shirt down, “Anyone else?”
“Yeah, one more,” Sally said as she took off her shoes, “I have an extra toe on each foot,” she removed her socks and revealed the extra toes.
Wufei blinked, bent down to them then stood again, “Maybe, maybe not, nowadays, with birth defects like that, you can’t tell anymore, since it’s more common that it used to be.”
Wufei looked at Sally with a smile, she began to cry. Quickly she wiped the tears away, hugged Wufei and stepped out of the room. Wufei frowned, I’m gonna go talk to her, he told Duo as he followed after Sally, and Duo continued to tell them what the signs of Changing were.
Wufei found Sally leaning against a railing looking out at the stars, “Sally, is something wrong?”
“I thought you were dead for so long, and that it was my fault. But now you’re back, alive and well, so it doesn’t matter,” Sally said, wiping away more tears.
“Why the hell did you feel such a thing your fault?” Wufei asked in confusion.
“I knew, I just knew something was wrong with you. Like you were hurt, or, or dying. But I didn’t act on it and try to find you. I always thought I was to blame for not acting on my intuition and going out and trying to find you.”
“Sally, you should have never blamed yourself for that. You couldn’t have prevented my being taken to another world, or, as you thought, being killed. These things happen for reasons, we just have to find them. Please don’t blame yourself like that ever again.”
“All right, I’ll try,” Sally said, “Well I have to get back to my duties, see ya later,” and she left for the brigde.
Wufei frowned at Sally’s ability to sense that something had happened to him. Then, after a moment of pondering, Xunto voiced his knowledge, /She has the sixth sense./
What?
/The sixth sense, it is rare in humans, most of the time it means that the human is a fledgling, like that young Quatre, but other times it isn’t. She’s past the time that she should have Changed, and I see no fluxes in her energy field to indicate that she has a Dragonsoul trying to push forward. She is one of the few that are able to attach themselves to friends and family and know when they are in trouble. She attached herself to us, as to every other pilot and others around her. She will know when any of you are in trouble./
I thank you for the information, but aren’t you supposed to remain dormant till I ask a question of you?
/Ha ha, yes, but we Space Dragons like to alert our humansouls of us much more than Earth Dragons and Muttia Dragons do./
I’ll have to get used to that. Now, how is she able to make these bonds?
/First she gets to know some of your personality, then, when she just touches you once afterwards, she leaves a tiny piece of her soul with you to tie her to you. The piece is constantly watching over you and telling her, even if she doesn’t know it, how you are. When you are in extreme danger the tiny piece will alert her of who, what, where, when, and why. But if she is unaware of the attachment, she won’t be able to read as much out of the signal it’s sending at her except that you are in trouble./
Interesting, I guess I’ll have to tell Duo, unless Shinigami’s already told him something. Wufei returned to the room, mind spoke to Duo shortly, then they broke to sleep. They’d had a full day and needed some rest, Shinigami and Xunto were still healing from their small amount of wounds they’d acquired in their battle with the Taurus suits and destroying the OZ facility. Duo watched curiously as Heero and Quatre walked into their shared quarters and asked Trowa about it.
“They’ve been together for only a month. I know that they don’t do anything in there because Quatre admits a lot to me. Heero still has a strange felling that they should wait, as does Quatre. He says it’s like a gut feeling they each have of their own insecurities. Kind of odd, but they refuse to do anything beyond making out till the feeling leaves,” Trowa said as they made their way towards Duo and Wufei’s newly made up quarters.
Soultwins, we’ll have keep them apart when one of them change, Duo spoke to Wufei.
Yes, you take whoever changes first since you can identify with them.
Duo nodded to Wufei, Trowa cocked his head at their silent communication but left it alone. When they got in their room, and Trowa left for his own, they on rest of sex, rest won out with the fatigue of both their own and their Dragonsoul’s. They feel asleep in each others arms almost immediately[4].
