"Glad to know lightening can strike twice." Duo declares flatly, watching Heero with one of those unamused looks that he's always thrown over his shoulder at him. He'll be forever sore about the stealing of Deathscythe's parts, even years from now. Mainly because he'd been trying to help Heero and that's how he'd decided to pay it back and.. well, being bitter is one of Duo's strong points as a person he thinks.

"You can get Zero back, though." Duo informs after slogging off another bit of muck with a small grunt of effort, the gunk beginning to solidify with time and probably the amount of blood in it. "That's what I did with Deathscythe. If you work at it and earn their trust they'll eventually let you have your suit."

He knows that isn't super convenient or anything, and required time and effort, but it was what it was.
