Prologue
This mission was risky but nothing that Agent Duo Maxwell and Agent Wufei Chang couldn't handle. They were the best team for the organization of Gundam Pilots. Duo and Wufei had been partners for 5 years. They had been best friends through high school and still are. Though this mission was going to test everything they had. They were to go into one high security facility and see what they were shipping, along with information on their profits.
"Maxwell"
/I can't wait for this mission to be over so Wufei and I can go to a club to meet some guys/ Duo thought.
"Maxwell!"
/I wonder how long this mission is going to take/ Duo thought.
"MAXWELL!"
Duo yelped and pulled his headphones from his ears. He looked at Wufei who was glaring at him his face going red.
"What Fei'?"
"I've been trying to get your attention for 5 minutes now," He growled. Duo blinked surprised and then grinned sheepishly.
"Sorry Fei' I couldn't hear you," Duo stated. Wufei rolled his eyes.
"Were here Maxwell, let's just get in, get the information and leave," Wufei said. Duo shrugged and got out stretching along with Wufei. Duo started to reflect about the time with Wufei. They had become friends in high school and dated for a bit but both had known that it wouldn't work. So they ended up being best friends. They graduated early and went on to an academy to train to become cops. When they graduated they were some of the first to be picked up by Commander Une. They were somewhat favored by Une but they never usually disobeyed. If there was any disobedience between them it was always Duo. He loved to play pranks on the other agents at work for fun.
Duo checked for all of his weapons, which consisted of knives in his belt, hair, and shoes, guns in his belt and other shoe, his walkie-talkie on his belt, and a lock pick and wire in his braid. He adjusted his black clothing of long sleeves and tight pants, and checked his shoe strings. Once his check over was done he nodded at Wufei and waited for Wufei to check his own.
Wufei was of Chinese descent. He has shoulder length black hair that is kept in a tight ponytail with onyx eyes. He has bronze skin and fairly built. He stood at 5'6 and weighed about 150 pounds, the same as Duo. He was wearing the same outfit as Duo was though Wufei's usual choices consisted of a pair of traditional white baggy pants and tank top with a pair of black slippers. Duo's usual outfits though were either dark skinny jeans or jeans that fit just right along with short sleeved shirts and black combat boots.
Once Wufei was done they started their trek through the forage. It was extremely quiet as they walked through the dense structure of trees. Duo looked up to see part of the facility. He and Wufei sped up their pace and were soon there. They looked for a way inside, avoiding the cameras, and found an opening in the back. They quickly enter checking around corners of the hallway for guards. Duo looks at Wufei when he sees none and motions for them to split up. Wufei nods and quickly goes down the right hallways. Duo waits a moment and then goes left. He quietly stalks down the hallway checking each room through the small glass window. Each room was empty. Finally he came across a rather large door. He pushed it open and entered. It looked to be a hanger of some sort. He looked around and saw many large crates on the floor. He crept towards them and took out his knife, prying it open. What he found was what they had expected. Inside of the crate were dangerous and illegal weapons. Before he could take photos of the weapons he heard noise on his walkie-talkie. He lowered the volume and brought it up to his ear. He heard static and then Wufei.
"Maxwell," Wufei hissed. Before Duo could reply he heard gun shots and a groan from the walkie-talkie. His eyes widened.
"Chang!" He whispered harshly. He didn't get a response for a couple seconds.
"Maxwell mission failed! Get out of here," Wufei said. Duo's head reeled.
"Where are you?" Duo said as he made his way out of the hanger. He was met with silence.
"Where are you?" He repeated.
"Maxwell you have to leave without me. I'm wounded, shot in the leg, and I'm pretty sure the alarm is about to go-"the siren of the alarm came on blocking the rest of Wufei's voice.
"I'm not leaving without you!" Duo hissed.
"You have too! I can already hear the guards coming down the corridor! You need to get out of here and report to Commander Une! Now go!" Wufei commanded. Duo was torn. It was an order and he had been taught to take them but not when it was his best friend. Duo shook his head.
"I'm not leaving unless you're with me!" Duo said. He heard a gasp of breath in the walkie-talkie and then multiple gun shots.
"Get out of here! I can only hold them off for so long!" Wufei yelled. Duo knew now that getting Wufei was stupid. He needed to regroup and then come back. Wufei was already surrounded by guards and was wounded. Duo cursed in his head. It was ripping him apart knowing he was leaving his partner in this damn place.
Duo continued on his way down the hallway, half his attention diverted to thinking how to get Wufei out. By the time he realized there was a man coming towards him he was already 3 feet away. Duo stopped and waited to see what the man would do. He raked his eyes over the man's form as he waited.
The man was young, around Duo's age, 25 to be exact. He was built and compact and stood at 5'8, Duo was 5'6. He has chocolate brown hair that frayed out in different directions that looked messy but stylish and deep cobalt blue eyes. He was wearing a long sleeved forest green button up shirt along with forest green baggy pants, his shoes black lace up combat boots. Duo skimmed over his body looking for weapons. He located the pistol on his belt along with the tactical knife and the machine gun strapped to his back. Duo couldn't see any more weapons but he knew better than to underestimate the man.
The man came forward with a burst of speed. Duo's eyes widened as he saw a first come flying at his face. He immediately ducked and kicked his right leg out to hook it around the man's back left knee and pull. The man went down immediately but brought his left hand back to punch Duo in the gut. This time Duo couldn't block. The wind was knocked from and it gave the man enough time to stand. Duo saw the man's right fist come towards him again. He caught it and pulled the arm forward and around the man's body to have the arm behind his back. Duo pushed him against the wall putting hard pressure on the man's arm, though Duo was impressed when he didn't hear any sounds of pain. Duo pushed his body against the man's to keep him against the wall. He then reached up and hit the pressure point on the man's neck. He slumped against the wall unconscious. Duo grabbed the man with both hands and slowly lowered him to the floor.
Duo then ran calmly and quickly out of the facility, seeing the cobalt blue eyes haunting him in his mind.
Chapter One
Duo slammed his hands on his desk frustrated. It had been about 6 months since the last mission. When he had gotten back and told Commander Une what had happened she stopped the mission. She never gave Duo the chance to look for his partner, given that she hadn't told him that 5 weeks later. So Duo took to looking for information about the facility. He was stumped though. There was no name, and no information on the weapons they were selling.
He groaned and dry washed his face. He rubbed the bridge between his eyes and sighed. It was wearing down on him. He had to take solo mission because he wouldn't, no couldn't take mission without Wufei. He could hear Wufei yelling at him.
"Maxwell there are people out there that cannot have their own justice! We are the ones that get the justice for them so stop moping and go finish those missions!"
Duo shook his head. He missed those justice rants and the snarky comments about using the microwave to heat up the water for his tea. He smiled and started to do more research when his phone rang. He answered it quickly.
"Agent Maxwell"
"I need you up in my office now" and the phone was hung up. Duo groaned. It had been Commander Une. All he could think that it was is a mission. She loved to give him those.
He walked to the elevator and stepped inside and pressed the button for the highest floor. Once there he knocked and entered Commander Une's office. She looked grim. Duo prepared himself for the worst. She motioned for him to sit in the chair in front of her desk. He knew then that it was something bad.
"I'm going to cut to the chase Agent Maxwell. Agent Chang is dead. We have photos sent to us from the facility. I am sorry for you loss," Une stated. Duo just stared at her trying to wrap his mind around what she had said. Wufei was dead. No that wasn't possible, his best friend, the Dragon, couldn't be dead. Duo couldn't believe it. Duo clenched his fists and fought the urge to cry and scream out his frustration. Wufei was his family just as Duo was Wufei's. They both had been orphaned at a young age but didn't know each other until high school. Duo forced his emotions back down. He knew there had to be some other reason Une would call him up here. His Commander was not the greatest person at condolences.
"I am sorry to have to do this but you are needed. The mission is simple. You are to go back to the facility and rescue our informant. He was captured recently doing undercover and we need him in case we get this group and need to testify. Here is the information on the mission. You are dismissed," Une said sharply. Duo stood there looking at her not believing she was actually sending him to where his partner was killed. She narrowed her eyes at him.
"There will be no searching for him Agent Maxwell. Yes we have received pictures of his death but they have not sent his body. You are to complete this mission and return with our informant immediately," Une commanded. Duo resisted the urge to glare and turned to exit the office. As he calmly walked out of her office and down to his he was fuming. They didn't have his body! Out of all the stupid things to do. Duo didn't believe Une for a minute. There was no way that his best friend, the proud dragon, gave up that easy. Duo knew that something must have happened. He just hoped that it was something he was prepared for.
PAGE BREAK
Duo's whole body radiated anger as he moved through the forest. He didn't want to do this. He didn't want to rescue some person that couldn't give them information on his partner.
Once again Duo was wearing the all black outfit with his brown haired thigh length braid. He had the same weapons as before in the same spots. Once Duo came upon the facility again he knew it would be a little harder at trying to get inside. There weren't any guards out, that was good but there were a lot of cameras. Duo watched the rotation of the cameras and then sprang into action. He avoided the places he knew the camera would record and slipped into the facility. He inwardly huffed out a sign of relief.
He checked around the corners of hallway looking for guards. There weren't any. Duo shook his head. So hard to find guards that actually do their jobs. Duo made his way silently through the hall checking the doors. Right as he was about to turn a corner he heard voices. He looked around and saw an air vent. He quickly opened it and climbed in. He listened for the voices.
"Can't believe he was a traitor"
"Well we'll give it to him good tomorrow just you wait"
"I want to taunt the little son of a bitch. Let's go to the dungeons and mess with his head a little"
Duo waited until the voices had almost disappeared. He got out and quickly followed. He watched as the two guards opened and door and went down stairs. He followed after them and watched as they turned and stopped in front of a door. Duo heard one of the guards yelling at the man. Duo moved behind them quickly and hit the pressure points in their necks causing them to fall. Duo opened the food slot and spoke.
"Heero Yuy?"
"Hn"
"Is that a yes or no?"
"Hn"
"Fine then rot, I was supposed to get a Heero Yuy out but if he's not here then I'll be leaving"
"Wait" Duo paused.
"I'm Heero Yuy" Duo grinned.
"Took you long enough to reply"
"You wouldn't either if all the guards did was taunt you" Duo had to give him a point. Duo looked at the door and blinked in surprise. It was metal, a real thick metal. Duo sighed and searched the guard's bodies for keys. He found them and started to unlock the door. It took about 5 minutes since there were about 7 locks on it. Duo opened the door and threw the keys down. He heard the man move so he looked up. He froze and glared. He pulled out his gun and pointed at him.
"You!" Duo hissed. Heero's eyes widened.
"You're the informant! You little prick!" Duo growled. Heero's eyes narrowed.
"I had to go along with it to get more information. If I just went around you I would have been found out," Heero stated. Duo's grip tightened on the gun and put it back on his belt.
"Fine but why didn't you give us any information on Wufei Chang?" Duo asked. Heero looked at him confused.
"Who is that?" Heero asked. Duo gritted his teeth.
"That would be my partner, the one that got captured when we fought," Duo said seething. Heero just looked at him.
"I don't know anything about that. I checked files and everything. There was no information on your partner, it was like he was never here. There was nothing. If there was I would have told Commander Une right away," Heero stated calmly. Duo pondered on this fact. Une had to know something. She isn't the most loyal. Duo looked at him.
"Come on we need to get out of here before they find out I'm here and your gone," Duo said. Heero nodded and followed Duo as he left the dungeon. They quietly made their way through the hall towards the exit. When they left the building Duo didn't even think of the cameras.
PAGE BREAK
To say that Duo was pissed was an understatement. In a span of two days he found out his partner had been killed, rescued the man that attacked him, found out that there was no information of his partner even being at the facility, and that Une had to know something. Now this, the man, Heero Yuy, was told to stay with me.
Flashback
"What?" Duo said through gritted teeth. Une gave him an apologetic look.
"You are to house Agent Yuy until we get his accommodations in order," Une stated. Duo just stared at her blankly.
"Why were his accommodations not ready," Duo said angrily. Une narrowed her eyes.
"We cannot come up with an apartment out of thin air Agent Maxwell. We were not prepared for him to be captured. It is only temporary Agent Maxwell," Une said. Duo just glared and nodded.
End Flashback
Now he is not stupid. He knew exactly what Commander Une was trying to do. She thought if she put Yuy with me that we would connect and become partners. Fat chance at that happening. Duo was brought out of his thoughts by the baritone of Heero. He looked at him for a moment and then back on the road since he was driving.
"Thank you," Heero whispered. Duo nodded. Duo watched out of the corner of his eye as Heero picked at his shirt. They had to go get clothing for Heero since he had none. They had gotten him basics and right now he was wearing a pair of blue jeans that hugged his legs, thighs and ass amazingly. He was wearing a deep blue short sleeved turtle neck and a pair of black tennis shoes. Duo saw a flash of chain on Heero's neck as he messed with the neck of the sweater. Now Duo was curious about the necklace.
"Is something wrong?" Heero asked. Duo sighed. He didn't know if he should speak to this to a man he didn't know.
"I'm having trouble believing Commander Une that my partner is dead. He was to strong, too much will for him to go down without anyone noticing. That and the fact that I'm pretty sure that Commander Une could be silenced with the right amount if you know what I mean," Duo stated. Heero nodded. He knew exactly what Duo was referring too. He himself had given Une money to keep a certain pink terror away from.
"I think she is trying to partner us up too," Duo stated. Heero snapped his gaze to the violet eyed man. Heero had thought the same thing though he wouldn't complain. Duo Maxwell was young, his age actually, with a lithe powerful body. He was about two inches shorter than himself and had a fey type beauty that drew him in. He had long brown hair wound up in a braid to his thighs with deep violet eyes, a shade Heero had never seen. He knew though that this man in front of him was not just pretty face but a strong fighter as well. He had encountered it first-hand and had been sore for a week.
"I thought that as well," Heero replied back. Duo had no problem with having this eye candy as a partner but he didn't want another person. He trust Wufei with his life and he never thought about working with someone else.
Duo pulled his black SUV into his driveway and turned it off. He got out of the car and popped the trunk to help bring in Heero's things. Heero then came back to get the rest and close the trunk door. Duo grabbed his keys and unlocked his house.
His house was a two story building. It had a well-kept yard, since Duo paid a kid to do it every two weeks, and a winding sidewalk. The house was red and had many windows and balconies. Duo stepped into his house and was greeted by an extremely happy puppy. It was a girl and she was a hound/lab mix. She was all black with white on the front of her chest with flecks of brown on her paws, face, and chest. She only came up to Duo's calf since she was only a few months old. Her name was Kisa and was the greatest puppy ever. Duo laughed at her when she tried to jump on him. She froze when she saw the other male. She then did the same to Heero as she had done to Duo. Duo shook his head and walked up the stairs.
Heero took a chance to check out this part of the house. It was painted a sky blue color and had pictures framing the walls. There was a medium sized TV away from the door with a couch, love seat, and recliner facing it. The furniture was all a dark blue color. Right across from the front door was the entry way to the kitchen and it was painted a deep red. Heero turned and made his way up the stairs with Duo. Those walls were painted the same blue and there were five doors on the second floor. Duo looked at him.
"Okay the first door to your right is a spare bedroom, the one next to it is another spare, the one next to it is a closet, the other is a bathroom, and the one at the end is my room. Pick either spares it doesn't matter," Duo stated. Heero picked the second one. He walked in and was greeted by a sight. This room was painted a dark green and had a queen sized bed against the right side of the wall. There was balcony and paintings on the walls. There was a dresser next to the balcony and a closet next to that. Heero walked forward and sat his bags on his bed. Duo followed and did the same. He then turned and exited the room talking as he did.
"I'm either making dinner or going out to eat. Pick one," Duo stated.
"Let's go out," Heero stated. Duo smiled and gave him the thumbs up.
"Well unpack your stuff while I let Kisa out and get situated and then we'll leave," Duo stated. Heero nodded and set to unpacking his clothes.
Duo walked down the stairs and was greeted by Kisa again. Duo got down and picked her up stroking her head.
"Hey puppy, wanna go outside?" Duo said playfully. Kisa wiggled and jumped from his arms and went to the back door immediately. The first thing that Duo had taught her was to not leave the yard since he didn't have a fence. He watched her for a moment and went back inside. He filled up her food bowl and then her water dish and sat them on the floor. He straightened out his clothing. He was wearing a red fitted button up shirts with black skinny jeans along with his black combat boots. He had his gold cross underneath his shirt and he absentmindedly stroked it. He heard Kisa at the door so he opened it and she immediately went to her food. She ate slowly and drank quickly. When she was done she sat in front of him and waited. He sighed rolling his eyes. He grabbed the treat bag from the cabinet and pulled on out and gave it to her.
"Good girl," He said. She ignored him as she chomped on her treat. He smiled and shook his head. Duo walked into the living room and checked his machine and noticed no messages. He did a routine check of the bottom floor of his house and then went upstairs to check their. He didn't find anything out of the place so he went into Heero's new room. He knocked and entered. Heero was just putting the last articles of clothing away. Heero looked up at Duo and waited.
"You ready?" Duo asked. Heero nodded. He walked towards Duo and followed him as he made his way down the stairs. He looked at Kisa who was sitting on her doggy bed. She looked at him.
"We'll be back Kisa, be good," Duo said. She looked back down and went to sleep. Duo rolled his eyes. He grabbed his keys and wallet and left through the front door. He waited for Heero to exit and then locked the door. He and Heero walked to the car and got in. Duo pulled out and started to drive.
"I'm assuming you're a steak kind of guy so I was planning on going to a Texas Roadhouse or something," Duo stated. Heero nodded.
"That's great," Heero said. Duo nodded. Hopefully they both could get along for the sake of the Gundam Pilots and Commander Une.
