::Cherry:: *daintily types on the keyboard just because she is oh so lady-ish and wonderful* you know...we should really get ON with the fic...GEO...can I role the disclaimer? can I?

::Geo:: *does NOT type 'daintily' on the keyboard because...she doesn't feel like it...and feels that Cherry should really work on that little problem of hers concerning her very large ego.* Fine...go ahead.

::Cherry:: Ahem...WE OWN NOTHING!!!! EXCEPT MY PANTS!!! oh yeah...and...the two main female characters (modeled after us) those are our own creations....AND we own my pants...which is a pretty big deal....I mean, I got pretty funky pants....

::Geo:: Alright already! For the love of...well, whatever...Anyways, we also own the storyline. It's basically our own creation as well. However, the GW boys, as Cherry said, AREN'T ours.

Oh, and by the way. Italics means telekinetic link...you'll find out later.

A Perfect Contrivance

Chapter 1: Strangers in the Dark

Heero and Wufei ran along the corridors, the sounds of gunshots ringing in their ears.

"Where the hell is Maxwell...or the others...what the hell is going on?" Wufei snarled as he whipped out his gun.

"We're meeting them at the entrance to the warehouse. I didn't expect this hold-up," replied Heero as he took out another soldier behind them.

"Um, I don't think that's going to happen," replied a familiar voice. Wufei turned around aiming his gun at the owner of the voice.

"Yo, Wu-man, hold up!" Said the owner of the voice.

"Maxwell!" Growled Wufei. "What the hell are you doing here? We're supposed to meet..."

"I told you, that ain't happenin'. Something...happened...on the way there." Duo said sheepishly.

"Why am I NOT surprised?" Muttered Heero. "Where's Quatre and Trowa? Or did something "happen" to them too?"

"Um...well..." said Duo, shifting his weight.

"We're fine. We're right here," came a new voice from behind them. It was Quatre with Trowa walking up to meet the others.

"I don't think I want to know what happened. So, is the main entrance sealed off?" Heero asked.

"Yup. Basically...we're screwed in that department." Duo replied with a shrug.

"Uh-huh...well, any ideas Maxwell?" Wufei asked sarcastically.

"Why are you asking me? Why not Quatre? He always seems to have the plans." Duo replied defensively.

"Uh guys, my plan for right now is...RUN!!!" Quatre exclaimed as he ran past the arguing guys. Heero looked back, and noticed why Quatre was advising them to retreat. A bunch of soldiers, with BIG guns, were advancing on them. Heero pulled out his gun and clicked the safety off.

"Omae o Korosu." Shot after shot rang out as the GW boys retreated to a safe haven in a nearby empty warehouse...or at least, they thought it was empty...

As Trowa and Heero barred the doors, Quatre examined their surroundings. It was mainly dark, only some moonlight shone through the dusty windows. Suddenly they heard a noise above their heads. They all looked up.

"What the hell was that?" Whispered Duo.

Suddenly the grate on the ceiling came crashing down. They all dodged it. Two figures, bathed in darkness, landed in front of them.

"What the hell are you doing here?" A female voice came from one of the figures.

"Uh..." Duo faltered.

"Never mind, if you want to live, follow us." The other voice said.

"Why should we? How do we know that we can trust you?" Wufei said cautiously.

"Listen, we don't care if you follow us or not. We just gave you the offer. If you want sit here, on your asses waiting to get blown up, fine by us," said the first voice in a sarcastic tone.

The guys were astounded. However, the two strangers were true to their words. They didn't wait. In fact, they started to leave.

"Um...they're leaving..." Quatre said.

"No shit, Sherlock," replied Duo sarcastically.

"So...are we going to follow them. They did say something about being BLOWN UP!" Wufei said. Heero muttered something incoherently then started to run after the two. The rest followed behind.

KABOOM!!!

The boys jumped as the "empty" warehouse exploded just behind them. Heero looked up from his position on the ground. The two figures stood above them. One winked, the other smirked, and then, as suddenly as they had appeared, they jumped, and disappeared.

"Who the hell were those chicks?" Duo exclaimed as he stood up dusting himself off.

"How the hell should I know?" Heero yelled back. "Back to the base."

"You mean the apartment?"

"Grr...yes Quatre! The damned apartment!!"

"Way to make it sound un-cool!" Duo interjected.

"I really wish you wouldn't swear as much Heero." Quatre said, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Look at them. Arguing like that. They'll never make a good team." The brunette stranger telepathically 'spoke' to her blonde partner.

"Lighten up. They're not elite soldiers like us. They don't know the rules, I guess."

"That's no excuse. Why were they here, anyways? This place WAS supposed to be abandoned."

"Expect the unexpected. That's what they always said in training remember? You gotta be ready for this kinda stuff."

"I suppose...back to 'the base?'"

"Yeah, I know, spend too much time on appearances...they really should quit arguing and go back to their "base" before some of the soldiers find them."

"I guess we'll stay here until they make it out safely...just in case. Hey, I heard we have a new mission tomorrow. Can't wait."

"You're always excited about missions Di! Are we working this one solo?"

"I heard we'll have another team from another cell with us. Weird. They normally don't do that. They know we work better alone."

"Heheheehe...should be fun...."

"I guess. Well, they're leaving...safely. Thank goodness..."

"What's this? Actually 'caring' about the civilians? That's not like you Di."

"Whatever, Gwen. I'm not some sort of 'perfect soldier' with no emotions."

"Hehehehehe now THAT'S what you'd like to think! You know they trained us not to feel anything for our enemies. That's why those guys will fail in everything they try, too much emotional contact. Not that this life bothers me or anything, I've gotten used to it. It's just kinda weird...you know...not being able to love."

"Come on, Gwen. You know we promised ourselves, after we got to the position we are in now, that we would not let emotions get in our way...however, those guys were pretty innocent. That's all. Anyways, I think those who trained us to have no feelings are troubled. We're humans. We're 'God-children.' Not just some experiment. So, it's inevitable. We're going to have feelings. We just have to make sure they don't get in our way."

"Yeah. I understand. Look they're gone now, let's get back."
