Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing but I made up the girl. You can take her if you want because she's just going to be those once-in-a-fic people. I made her up in French class right after the test. ^^;

Author's Notes: This is sorta like Romeo&Juliet if you bend it around a bit. Also, the quote at the end is a Romeo&Juilet quote that is twisted by yours truly.
Setting: Two years after Endless Waltz.
His FamilySlaughtered
Two years had passed after the war and Heero returned to L1 and was still trying to fit in. He had himself a job at some computer company, but that was probably the only thing normal about him. Society seemed to be scared of him for some reason. Maybe it was the look on his face. Or maybe it was something else.
The hospital door jingled when Heero pushed it open. He had decided the best way to find himself again was to find his family. His real name held just a faint memory in his mind. The best way was a blood test. Sure, he could just hack into the computer, but Heero had put himself on resriction. Limits. To be normal again. Or at least close to it.
The woman at the counter raised an eyebrow when Heero told her his name.
"Heero Yuy?"
"That's not my birth name. My real name is [insert real name here]. Iran away when I was really little and I would like to check for my family."
The woman made a tsking' sound. She typed in his real last name and came up with something. "Noyou can't be"
Heero noticed that the woman's face suddenly gone pale. "What's wrong?"
"[insert real name], or may I call you Heero"
"Call me Heero."
"Heero, when did you run away?"
"When I was five or so."
"Then I suppose your parents never told you."
"Told me what?"
The woman sighed. "Your family had some problems with some other family on the colony L2. About ten years ago, there was a bloody fight between them. Your family was killed."
There was silence.
Heero fists clentched, cold rage surging through him. "Whowho killed them?"
The woman hesitated to tell him. There was just something about his eyesand his body posture toothat spelled danger
"Tell me."
The woman sighed again. "Alright. The Sampsons."
""
With that, Heero left the hospital.
The door jingled as the it swung shut.
Chapter One
A Forgotten Sweeper
Duo rubbed his eyes as he sat up, half awake. He stared at his alarm clock.
Silence.
"OH SHIT!!!!"
The former gundam pilot jumped out of bed, threw his clothes on, tripped over the chair and a bag of chips, bushed his teeth, combed his hair back into a braid, and was out the door. All in five minutes. Most of the five minutes were spent on his hair.
"Oh damn, damn, damn" Duo muttered as he ran down the street. It was about a week after Hilde nearly forced him out. She said that he deserved better than the dump. That his valuable combat and piloting skills were needed. She found him a spot in this new organization: the L2 Guards, protectors of the L2 colony. Nearly every colony had one now.
Duo quickly bought a donut and shoved it into his mouth. He then glupped down the coffee. Bad coffee shop. He quickly reminded himself to never go there again.
It was the first day of his job. He was supposed to meet the boss.
And he was almost late.
Pretty typical of him acutally. Usually he never rushed like this, he followed his own schedule. But now he had a boss.
He reached a building with a minute to spare. Duo took a breather and stepped inside.
It was a 25-story building and with comfortable frinishings. Your regular company type building. Just the type of building that Duo didn't feel too comfortable in. Of course, this was just the main building. Its real military base was located about 10 miles from the office.
He checked in and was told to go to the fifth floor, room 202 on the right. It was where the manager worked. Some one named Andrea Sampson. A small smirk traced his lips when he thought what Wufei would say if he ever found out that his boss was a woman.
A woman in her twenties stood up to greet him as Duo walked in. "Hello, I'm Andrea Sampson."
Duo stopped and raised his eyebrow. She seemed a bit young to be leader of a military protection unit this big
Andrea realized this. "I know I seem a bit young to be running a military organization, but this has been more of a family thing. Even if I did run away and join the Sweepers"
Duo couldn't believe his ears. "Sweepers?"
Andrea turned red. "Umm"
A smile spread across Duo's nervous face. "Hey, guess what? I don't remember you. Were you one of the quieter ones or something?"
Andrea's face became a bit puzzled. "You mean you were part of the Sweepers too?
"Dude, I was the leader. Duo Maxwell."
Memories slowly surfaced. "YeahI remember. Sister Helen kept on threatening you with sissors. I can't believe you still have the braid."
"Uhhyeah. Anyway, so?"
Andrea led him down to one of compay cars and guestured him inside. When Duo was seated and they headed towards the military base, she explained the situation. "As you know, the L2 Guards are sort of like a mini-organization of the Preventors. We guard this colony. You could say that this has always been a family business, but after the war, we felt like it was better if we expanded this."
"I don't mean to be nosy or anything, but what happened to the rest of your family?"
Andrea suddenly looked every uncomfortable. "My parents were killedin the war. I don't have any other living relatives."
"Oh, sorry."
"No need to be. Anyway, we'll test out your skills and appoint you to a military position. Of course," she smiled," since you're a gundam pilot, I'm figuring you'll end up as one of higher-"
Suddenly, an explosion rocked the car.
Smoke and fire rose from the base. The car screeched to a stop and Andrea and Duo ran out.
"The base," Andrea shouted. "Some one bombed the base!"

I know that there's not a lot of yaoi...hell there's NO 1x2/2z1 in the first part AT all. But, I need a chapter to set the stage. The second chapter will be much better: I swear it to the River of Reiki.
