#trowa's return to the battlefield

[meggie-stardust]

GUNDAM WING - REWATCH - 39 - 40

39. Trowa’s Return to the Battlefield 

I was today years old when I admitted that Trowa is my fave character 

Even in AC195, they use the tried and true coffee cup method to see if a T-Rex is coming

When Zechs is depressed he drinks and takes off his mask. Remember that Wild Turkey ad?

My name is CANS. They’re not even trying to pronounce that correctly. 

I don’t remember Quinze being so bleh and nasally 

Duke Dermail: The Rebels are rebelling, like rebells do and it’s annoying

Was Treize a dictator? Is that what we’re calling it? 

Woah, has gone full on WyNOINa. Get it, guys?? GET IT?!

Amnesia Trowa is so soft. Look at his smile. And his body language. 

Noin: I remember your names. Watch as I casually drop them into conversation. 

Duo: Don’t go getting me angry, not if you value your life.

Evil attracts evil. Duo is great. I want him to lean into that dark side even more. Like the dark side then immediately laughing is just so amazing

What is Hilde’s niche exactly, Duo? Doing your grocery shopping? Wearing a baret? 

This guy from White Fang straight up looks like a different animation style, like he’s from a different Gundam series

Noin: Good thing I was part of all these organizations so I can recap all this backstory of who took over who and why

Trowa: I think I remember how to pilot a mobile suit, so I’ll just give it a test run in a real battle and see how it goes

Was that just Duo floating by asleep?

Quatre’s backhand is a little rusty. Been a while since those tennis lessons

How does Trowa run out of bullets in a laser gun? Gotta stay on brand.

WHAT AN ENTRANCE DUO, Deathscythe Hell is the best

RYTHEM EMOTION AGAIN

Duo: Saving the guy who blew up Deathscythe in the fist place, not that I hold a grudge 

Trowa asking if Duo was his friend is wild. I mean, Trowa saw Duo like 3 days ago… It’s weird he doesn’t remember that?

Heero: Relena I’m going to kill you — SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!

40. A New Leader

We may have killed off Tubarov 2 episodes ago, but he won’t really die

Howard info dumping is just funny

Howard: White Fang is the least groovy of all the terrorist organizations out there

Libra is still under construction? Do you think that the contractors knew what they were getting into when they took the job working on the White Fang base? (I haven’t made this Clerks reference yet).

Howard: That reminds me, Zechs never came home. He’s gonna be so grounded! No mobile suits for 2 whole weeks!

A gundam! SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!

Heero: Relena, I know you can’t hear me, but I am still going to tell you everything you’re doing wrong

Hey Relena, maybe don’t daydream during important cabinet meetings

Duke Dermail: These are simplistic ideas… I mean, he’s not wrong

Duke Dermail hasn’t coup’d in a while. He’s getting restless

All Noin wanted to do was go line dancing and drink so beers, and be a cool lesbian aunt. 

Howard: Hey, Duo, it’s your cool Parrot Head uncle. Wanna come hangout and smoke out in the garage on my groovy spaceship?

I know that I generally chat with my granddaughter when making important political decisions

Dorothy is so thirsty for Relena, it’s not even funny

Rando OZ guy: What is 05 doing? Why doesn’t he agree with everything we are doing without us talking to him at all

Heero, look at you in disguise, ready to just fuck up this assassination

That being said, Heero is making that uniform work

We did it, we destroyed the Gundam. BUT DID YOU???

The Gundams are now fighting for Earth?? Is that true Zechs? Or were they just protecting your sister??

Who is that guy in the shadows? Who else has long blonde hair? 

They were just dolls, but they were destroyed so meaninglessly. Tubarov would have loved Wufei

Heero, killing her at the public counsel. I mean, this is the worst assassination plan ever. You are so bad at this. 

Why are you so bad at this

Noin: God, Trowa, why can’t you remember where you left Heavyarms

Howard: I’m super important guys, I helped build the Tallgeese. I even came up with the name. 

Duke Dermail: I picked a bad day to stop being a dictator. I picked a bad day to go to space. I picked a bad day to not get blown up.

Heero where did your actual gun go? See you space Cowboy

And a final shot of Treize to remind us he’s here and rad. 

Thoughts:

I can’t believe we are almost done with the series, but the final act players are all finally in place with the proper introduction of White Fang and Zechs taking his position as the head. And I know how the last two episodes go, but I don’t remember much about the seven episodes between now and then, only small details. 

It’s also really bold to introduce White Fang this late in the series. The show spent so long world building and establishing characters and organizations during the first 1/4 of the show, and to throw in a new element this late in the game is crazy. We’ll see if they get the same amount of attention as the rest... 

I had to revisit my what characters know who’s name spreadsheets during these episodes. Once the series is done, I’ll post that for everyone to see. It’s wild. 

What I think I remember for the next episode(s):

DO WE FINALLY GET RYTHEM EMOTION?! MY BODY IS READY. Since we didn’t get Trowa’s memory back, that should probably happen soon, and I think we get to see Treize and Une come back into the scene soon...

Episode 39 - "Trowa's Return to the Battlefield"

Duo is with Quatre and Noin and Trowa. Trowa was piloting a mobile suit today. It seems like he hasn’t lost his knack, even with amnesia. I feel bad for Hilde, I’m sure she loves Duo, but he had to leave her today. Zechs is going to help White Fang, the Tray’s Faction, I think. Heero’s off to kill Releena again, but somehow I doubt he will.

WIP Wednesday

From one of my many Gundam Wing/Harry Potter crossovers...

Gundam Factory, Colony L3-8253, 8 February, AC 195

Trowa Barton was in a state the workers at the Gundam factory were all too familiar with by now.  He was royally pissed off, and from the rumors that were flying around the factory, it wasn't difficult to figure out why.  His new "toy boy" had vanished four days ago, and no one could, or would, tell him where the nameless youth disappeared to.

He went to Nanashi's tiny apartment inside the factory first and found not the boy, but a middle-aged woman now occupying it.  He asked her if she knew where the boy who had lived there was, but she didn't and told him so, peppering her commentary with complaints about all the blood she had to clean up off the floor which, apparently, was a little detail Barton had forgotten about.

He made his way to the Infirmary next, where he demanded information on the nameless youth's whereabouts.  They told him in no uncertain terms that they couldn't give him any information on the boy because they weren't related.

Although he knew he'd never be punished for his crime, Barton spent several long minutes blustering and threatening the doctor and nurses, but to no avail.  He wasn't the boy's family, so they weren't going to tell him a damned thing.

He left the clinic a few minutes later, muttering more threats against them under his breath.  It then occurred to him that "No-name" was probably back at the factory, working on the Gundam that he was soon to pilot.

He rushed to the main part of the factory, hell-bent on finding the cinnamon-haired youth he'd beaten and raped to "teach him a lesson on keeping his mouth shut," but unfortunately, when the sandy-haired man got to where Heavyarms was being built, he overheard Doktor S and another man, one of his many assistants, talking about altering Operation Meteor to only take out OZ and Alliance military targets instead of dropping a colony onto the Earth, destroying them both.  Barton rushed over to confront the pair, his face contorted into a mask of fury.

"WHAT?" he bellowed angrily, clenching his hands into fists. "You wanna target only OZ?  You're changing the plan, old man!"

"If it goes according to plan, Operation Meteor will kill over twenty million people from the onset!" Doktor S replied, just as angrily.  "Isn't that going just a little too far for revenge for Hiiro Yui?"

"Exterminating twenty million leeches isn't going far enough!  This isn't about revenge anymore; this is about who controls the Earth Sphere!  The Colonies have always been meant to rule over the Earthers, with the Barton family being the top dogs! When we finally take control of everything, we'll take humanity to new heights!"

Doktor S sighed, shook his head and retorted with "That sounds like your father, Dekim, talking.  The Colonies still depend on Earth for food and medicine.  We'll be dooming ourselves to slow starvation and disease if we go through with Operation Meteor as..."

"I get it now," Barton interrupted snidely.  "You don't want us taking over the Earth, do you, traitor?!  You're jealous that once we do, the Barton family will be in charge of everything!  I'M TELLING MY FATHER ABOUT THIS!  JUST WATCH!  I'll CARRY OUT OPERATION METEOR BY MYSELF AND THE PEOPLE OF EARTH WILL BE SOR...!"

As the sneering Barton started to walk away, the terrified assistant pulled a pistol from a hidden holster, took aim and shot twice.

Nanashi jumped in shock when he heard the shots; it had been four years since he'd last heard gunfire, and he'd forgotten how incredibly loud it could be in a confined space.  He recoiled in horror when he saw the body of his rapist fall to the floor with two holes in his back, his dead eyes looking at him accusingly.  Next to him, a terrified Harry stuffed one small fist in his mouth and fought the urge to scream as he started to back away from the corpse.

"Now you've done it," they heard Doktor S say flatly.

"I'm sorry, sir," the frightened assistant replied, "but I have family planet side.  I couldn't just let him...!"

Harry felt the heel of his foot catch on his "brother's" toolbox and found himself stumbling backwards towards the edge of the platform.  Nanashi caught him before he could fall over the railing, but not before the little boy jostled the toolbox enough for it to rattle.

"WHO'S THERE?!" the scientist growled menacingly.  A moment later, Nanashi and Harry came out from their hiding place, eyes wide and hands raised, with Harry trying to hide behind the older boy's long legs.

"Who are you?!" the assistant demanded, raising his gun again.

"I'm no one," the youth said to the Doktor and his assistant, proud of the fact that his still raspy voice shook only slightly as he did what he did best, think on his feet.  "You can kill us if you feel you must, but you'll be throwing away an opportunity if you do..."

The assistant took aim, and was about to shoot the boys, when S raised his hand and said "Hold on, Jensen.  The Foundation's going find out about this sooner or later, so we might as well hear the boy out."

"But Doktor...," the nervous assistant, Jensen, said, then reluctantly lowered his pistol.

"I don't want to conquer the Earth," the teen continued.

"What?"

"I don't want to conquer the Earth," Nanashi repeated, his fear dissipating some, "but I can take his name and place as Heavyarms' pilot and carry out the mission to destroy the Alliance and OZ."

"You'll pilot the Heavyarms in his stead?"

"Yeah.  I've grown rather fond of her.  Life on this colony's been good for the most part, but I'm better suited for the battlefield."

That was all Doktor S needed to hear.  He'd been on his way to enlist the boy everyone called Nanashi as a replacement pilot when he found the terrified Harry looking for help after Barton attacked the teen and here he was, volunteering to do it.  Barton had refused to learn how to effectively pilot the Gundam, preferring to spend that time harassing the techs and assistants.  Nanashi had been the latest, and also the last.

"All right, then," the scientist said with a lopsided grin.  "From this moment on, you're Trowa Barton.  We have two months to train you on how to operate Heavyarms and her weaponry."

"I've experience piloting a Leo," the teen replied, his eyes still on the machine.

"Perhaps, but the Gundam's cockpit, AI, and weapons systems are vastly different from those of a Leo, so you'll be starting over from scratch.  Once we launch, you'll be in charge, and you and the others are to carry out your missions as you see fit.  Don't worry about the colonies; OZ and the Alliance destroyed the peace of outer space when they assassinated Hiiro Yui.  This operation is our revenge."

"Understood."

Nanashi saluted sharply.  Harry mimicked his actions, but watched everything with a sense of heartsick dread.  If Triton left the colony and returned to Earth, what would become of him?  Would his aunt and uncle come back to reclaim him, or would they all abandon him to this unfamiliar place?  Gathering his courage, he tugged on the back of the Doktor's smock and asked "Excuse me, sir.  I don't mean to sound selfish, but what about me?"

The Doktor knelt down so he was at Harry's eye level and replied "You'll be going with him, of course.  OZ and the Alliance will never suspect our pilot being one of a pair of brothers traveling together.  It's the perfect cover story."

"You mean lie?" Harry asked, confused.

"No, not exactly, Harry," the youth explained, gathering the still badly-frightened little boy into his arms.  "The Doktor wants us to pretend to be brothers while we're on Earth, but you know what?  Even if we're not related by birth, I feel like we're family.  Does that make any sense to you?"

"Yeah."

Though the newly named Trowa Barton had been Harry's "brother" for only a few days, it was painfully obvious to him that this little boy was starved for simple human affection.

The men and women in the mercenary corps he'd ran with as a kid weren't the most demonstrative bunch of people on Earth.  They were professional soldiers, after all, but at least they'd cared about him a little.  It wasn't uncommon he received a brief hug, a pat on the back, a kind word, or even a small bag of sweets from someone once in a while.

Still holding Harry, Trowa swore to himself that, no matter what he had to do, the little boy in his arms would never want for the love or protection of a family again, even if it was only him providing that love and protection.

[okashiras]

ah, they used 帰る with that kanji instead of 返る. the difference is that 帰る more specifically means “to come home” whereas 返る is simply “to return.” kinda sad that the battlefield is really where trowa belongs to no matter how much catherine tried to keep him safe away from it...

Summary: Clint Barton had a secret, one that he had been carrying for so long that it didn’t even really seem like a secret anymore. It was just another thing in the long list of things that he didn’t talk about, along with his time in Korea or that mission in Budapest. The trouble was, now that Shield was in tatters with every third agent loyal to Hydra and being hunted like the rats that they were, his helpful support system had evaporated along with his second favourite bow and his salary. For Scarly13.

WIP Wednesday

From Chapter Six of Shatter Me.  This one’s told from Trowa’s perspective.

When I returned from Colony L3-Y-08523, I found out through the Preventer grapevine that a certain someone was telling anyone who'd listen to her that Quatre was the leak, and they believed her without question.  Relena, Hilde, Sally, and Noin were banded together in giving Quatre the cold shoulder.  They wouldn't listen to him, and were treating him like stepped in dog shit.

Duo, his supposed best friend, stopped talking to him and slugged him for trying to explain what happened to him.  For "good measure," he, Hiiro and Wu Fei cornered and beat the crap out of him for "betraying the team."  They'd conveniently forgot the fact that if it wasn't for Cat, we would have never been a "team" in the first place, and we'd have most likely lost the war, or would still be fighting it.

Don't get me wrong, Cat and I would have been a team, no matter what.  I've trusted him from the moment we met, and we work well together.  I always did better on the battlefield when I had someone covering my ass when I needed it, and having forty-one people looking out for me felt good.

The others, however, would've still been going at it alone, especially Wu Fei.

Anyway, the truth was he wasn't the leak.  I had irrefutable, outside proof Cat was innocent, and I was gonna enjoy rubbing their noses in the fact.  I wanted to go to him and show him he was innocent, but the only problem was I couldn't find him.  He'd vacated the apartment the Agency provided him with, which was next door to mine, and Middie had somehow moved herself into it.  I picked up the pile of post from behind the door, flipped through it and found a slip of paper with Quatre’s familiar handwriting on it.

The note had only six words scrawled on it.  They were: WHY DIDN'T YOU BASTARDS TRUST ME?

The next day, I came out of my office after hours of filing mission reports on my most recent case, this case, and went to the cafeteria to grab a bit of lunch, carrying my tablet in case I needed it.  When I got there, I saw Hiiro, Duo, Wu Fei, Zechs, Noin, Relena, Hilde, and Sally all sitting at our usual table, eating and talking amongst themselves.  Everyone in our unique little squad was there… everyone but Quatre.  Middie was sitting in his place, acting like she belonged there.

"Where's Cat?" I asked.

"Who gives a flying fuck?  Good riddance, I say," Duo replied in a nasty tone, while Hilde and some of the others nodded.

"What the Hell, Duo?  He's your best friend...!"

"Not any more, he ain't!  Not after what he's done!"

"Look, we're not the bad guys here, Barton," an angry Zechs interrupted while Noin gave him a dirty look.  "Winner is.  He's the one who screwed up the mission and blew our cover, not us."

I couldn't believe I was hearing this bullshit again.  I went out and found the evidence to clear him, to back up what he'd been saying all along, and they still believed Quatre was capable of betraying us!  What the fuck was their problem with him, anyway?

"I can't believe Quatre actually thought he could trust you people," I said, trying to keep my temper in check.  "Did any of you even think to give him five fucking seconds to try and explain what happened, or did you all just assume he was guilty because the guy on the video was skinny and had blond hair?"

"Trowa, what the fuck are you talking about?" Hiiro asked, defensive.

"I'm "talking about" having the evidence to clear Quatre!  He didn't do this!"

"And you know this because...?" Wu Fei asked, his tone dismissive. "BECAUSE I WAS WITH HIM AT THE FUCKING EMERGENCY CLINIC WHEN YOU CALLED AND SAID WE WERE BLOWN!" I practically screamed at them, taking satisfaction at their shock.  I took a deep breath to calm down and continued.  "I found him in an abandoned building, barely conscious from a blow to the head, took him to the nearest emergency clinic, stayed there with him until the doctor finished examining him, and then I carried him piggyback to the space port because he was in no condition to walk!"

They all looked at me like they didn't believe me, so I booted up my tablet, touched two tabs, and showed them the footage from not only the clinic's time-stamped security feed, but the traffic cams and security feeds leading from there to the space port.  It supported what I'd been saying all along; that Quatre was with me at the same time he was supposedly "selling us out."

The only person who didn't look shocked by my revelation was Middie.  In fact, she looked pissed.

"By the way," I concluded, throwing Cat's note on the table while fighting the natural instinct to choke the living shit out of all of them, "this was left in my mail, but I think it belongs to all of you.  I’m going to look for Cat and tell him the news."
