Duo woke up cold, bloody, sore, and naked. He could barely remember what happened except someone beating the shit out of him and a lot of pain. Duo once again fell unconscious.

Heero was now frantically searching for Duo. He was running out of places to look.
/He better not have returned while I'm out here looking for him. But that might be better if he his considering he wouldn't be in any danger./ Heero searched the next alley for any signs of Duo. He saw a ragged form lying in a corner. The first thing he noticed was the long braid.
"Duo!" Heero screamed as he ran over to the ragged figure.
/Oh my God, what the hell happened to him?/ He reached Duo and realized that he was unconscious, naked, and freezing. Heero took his jacket off, placed it on Duo, and then he picked Duo up. As he was walking home, he was extremely angry wondering who in the hell had beaten the shit out of Duo.
/I'll have to worry about that later. Right now my main concern is getting Duo to safety and to take care of his wounds./

Duo felt someone gently touching his battered body. He woke up to see Heero nursing his wounds.
/I feel like shit. I'm glad Heero found, but I wonder how did he find me? Oh well, I'm not going to complain./
"Duo are you awake?" Heero asked in a concerned voice.
"Yeah. Thanks for everything you're doing."
"You don't have to thank me for taking care of you. I do this because I care for you and you know it."
"Just how bad did I get hurt?"
"2 broken ribs, a few bruised ribs, a black eye, a busted lip, and various cuts and bruises all over your body. I want to know who did this to you and is there anything else that he did that I don't know about?"
"First off, I don't remember who it was. I think his name was Trevor. Brown hair, black eyes, 2 inches taller than me. Second, there is something else he did."
"What is it?" Heero demanded.
"It's hard for me to say because I feel so dirty even though it's not my fault," Duo told him.
"He better not have done what I think he did, did he?"
"It depends on what you're thinking. Tell me and I'll tell you if you are right."
"Did he........rape you Duo?" Heero asked his voice filled with concern.
"......Yes," came Duo soft reply that Heero had barely heard.
"That asshole! I'm going to find his sorry ass and kill him!" Heero raged.
"Heero...."
"No, Duo, don't try to stop me. I will not tolerate anyone doing something like this to you," Heero curtly replied as he sped out of the apartment.
/I have a mission. Find this Trevor gut and avenge Duo./ Heero started his search by going directly where he had found Duo.
