Not In Need of Rescuing

It had to happen again. She just had to go and get herself kidnapped by a bunch of angry old men who wanted to start another darn war. Heero was pissed as he and his partner Duo Maxwell snuck through the building she'd been taken to. They had to find her and get her out safely. Possibly shoot the sons of bitches who took the Vice Foreign Minister from her office.

Of course they had to spike her tea with something to make her pass out so she wouldn't struggle. It was Mariemaia all over again, so unoriginal.

Ducking through dark hallways, the two Preventer agents got closer to Heero's kidnapped girlfriend.

Standing on either side of a door, Duo and Heero could hear a large commotion going on on the other side. Making eye contact, and signaling with their hands, Duo gave Heero the 'okay' to go and kick the door open. His steel toed boot knocked the door off its hinges, and as he went barreling into the room, gun drawn, partner right behind him, and Heero took in a sight he wasn't expecting to see.

The commotion they had heard was Relena fighting off her kidnappers. Kicking ass and taking names. The two ex-gundam pilots froze on the spot as they watched Relena send her foot flying high in the air, kicking a tall brute man in the face and sending him to the ground. Spinning on her heel, Relena served a vicious uppercut to the approaching man behind her, breaking his nose. The man clutched his bleeding face and fell to his knees, screaming in pain. A third man tried to grab Relena by the arm, but she pulled him in, her knee connecting with his sensitive testicles, and as he collapsed to the floor, Relena brought her bony elbow down on the back of his head, knocking him unconscious. The fourth and last assailant, a man of short stature, attempted to wrangle the blond woman, but as he got close Relena head butted him dead on. The man fell backwards to the ground.

Standing, panting in the middle of the room, Relena appraised the damage she'd done, and nodded her head. All that self-defense training her boyfriend made her do had finally paid off.

Heero and Duo stood gaping at the supple blond.

As she walked past them, she smiled at her boyfriend and said, "I can hold my own."

She left the room and sauntered down the hall, clutching her forehead and mouthing "ow!", but she didn't want Heero to see that.

Duo assessed his shocked friend. Looking the Japanese man up and down, the braided man barked out a laugh. "You made him pitch a tent with all that ass kicking!" He yelled after Relena. A jab to the shoulder knocked Duo back a few steps, but not down.

"Shut up," Heero exhorted, and followed his girlfriend down the hall.
