This is one of my *first* fics. Let me repeat that. *FIRST
FICS!* So, it's not nearly as well written as my other fics (to say
the least) but I felt bad about not posting it. A first fic
is kinda important, ya know. ^_~
Heero's POV
I shouldn't be so scared. It's just a mission. I've completed many missions, but somehow, this one leaves me feeling uncertain. I raced down the corridor, stopping every time I heard a sound. These people were after me, they wanted to do, ....''tests''.....on me. I can't bear the thought. I remember my training and how I was capable of doing things normal people can't. At first I was frightened, because wouldn't that leave me as a target for people with cruel intentions to go after me. And use me? I tried to push the thoughts out of my mind and tell myself I was wrong, and it got to a point where it worked. I thought I was wrong but I'm not. They're after me.

Duo yawned and clicked on the hall light, making his way to his
bedroom. He passed Quatre's room. Door was probably locked.
Duo frowned at the thought. Quatre had been locking his door lately.
At night sometimes you could hear the 'click,' of the lock. Strange,
really, he never used to lock his door before. Duo passed Trowa's
room. Door was shut but Duo could hear him typing on the keyboard
of his computer. Wufei's room. Shut and locked, as always.
No doubt about it. Heero's room. Door was.....open? Duo
raised his eyebrows. Heero always had the door shut, even when he
wasn't sleeping. Duo peeked into the room. The computer had
been left on and it was making a soft, humming noise. Duo bravely
entered the room and smiled evilly.
"Looks like my hacking skills come to use once more." He murmured, sitting down on Heero's computer chair.
*2 hours later* Frustrated, Duo slammed his hand down on the keyboard. He couldn't hack into Heero's mission files. He figured whatever Heero's mission was, he wanted to keep it a secret. Ever sense the five of them moved into the same place it was Heero who went out most often. The others began to think something was going on but they were not being informed of it. It was always the same drill. Heero would leave unnoticed. He would come back a couple days later and speak nothing of his mission. He would act as though he had never even left. Usually, now that they all were such good friends, they wouldn't keep important> secrets, but no one ever asked Heero about his missions. Well, of course there was the occasional...
"Hey Heero, how'd it go?"
"Hn."
But that was it. Duo didn't worry though. He figured he shouldn't worry this time either, just plain old Heero going on a plain old mission. That was all...hopefully.
Trowa turned his computer off and got up. His body tensed as he raised his arms and stretched, then he relaxed and yawned. He let the dizzy feeling pass and focused his eyes on his window. A soft nighttime breeze tousled the curtains. Trowa went into deep thought. A new mission had been assigned for him. He'd have to leave tomorrow. Hopefully Heero would get back tomorrow, Duo often got angry and bored when more than one gundam pilot was out on a mission. Trowa acutely giggled thinking about that. Duo says the war should be over and they should be relaxed. Trowa thinks Duo just doesn't want to be alone. They all didn't want to be alone, they just kept that a secret among eachother.
'I wonder how Duo is when he's alone, probably bored out of his mind.' Trowa thought.
He peeled off his shirt and slipped into bed. He sighed at how comfortable his bed was after sitting in that chair all day typing out his lousy mission report.
'When will the missions end? When can we all just live in peace?' Trowa thought.
He thought of Heero and his many missions. All of those mission reports he had to type out, much less completing the missions themselves. No one got as many missions as Heero but Heero still seems calmer than all of them. Trowa smiled.
"And that, Heero Yuy, is why I admire your strength." He said, before drifting off to sleep.
Quatre sat up in bed staring at his locked door. Heero had told him what was going on. Men, doctors perhaps, known as The White Coats, were after the gundam pilots. There backgrounds are unknown, they could be former Oz soldiers, part of Romafeller or White Fang. They could even be from the Trieze Faction. All Quatre knew was that if he got caught by those men and used as a test for the rest of his life, he wouldn't be too thrilled. Quatre was scared, he could admit that to himself, but he was also worried about Heero.
Flashback: "Good morning Heero. The others aren't awake yet?" Quatre asked, a cheerful look on his face as he set a bowl of fruit in front of Heero at the table.
"No, there not......listen Quatre, I have to tell you something that's been going on with me."
Quatre looked thoughtful and sat down at the table across from him.
"Is it about all the missions you've been receiving?" Quatre asked quietly, in case someone was walking down the hall.
Heero nodded slightly and then gave Quatre a stern look.
"Quatre, I'm telling this to you because I think you can handle it the most, so you mustn't tell the others." Heero said, his voice almost to a whisper.
Quatre nodded and waited anxiously.
"There are people after us. They want to capture us and do tests and experiments. It's important that they do not find this location."Heero told him.
Quatre got an intense look in his eyes as he remembered his father telling him he was a test tube baby.
"Who do you think they could be?" Quatre asked, finding his voice.
Heero sighed. Then he got up and walked to the hallway.
"I think my next mission has the answer, I'm leaving, I'll be gone for a couple days. If I come back and I know something new, I'll inform everyone." Heero said, a hint of worry in his voice but not much.
"What do you mean, IF, you come back, Heero?" Quatre asked, frowning.
Heero didn't respond, he just turned away and went to his bedroom. That night he left why they were all asleep, except for Duo, who was out on a mission. End of flashback.
Quatre stirred in his bed, trying to fall asleep, but he kept hearing Heero's voice saying, "If I come back...."
Wufei touched his sword. He ran his fingers up and own the blade and sighed.
"I have a strange feeling I will be using you, again." He spoke softly.
He didn't plan on sleeping at all tonight. For some odd reason he couldn't get to sleep, mostly because of Heero's sudden disappearance. Sure, this was a normal thing, but this was just one mission too many. Things were getting suspicious. Wufei also could here Duo in Heero's bedroom trying to hack into his mission logs. He was certain Duo was trying to keep quiet because every time he gave a yelp of frustration, he would whisper, "Shut up!", to himself. Wufei decided to go help Duo hack Heero's computer. He couldn't sleep, so what the heck? The Chinese man opened his bedroom door and stepped out of it, closing the door behind him. He could here mumbling from Quatre's room and pounding on the keyboard from Heero's room. Slowly, Wufei made his way to Heero's bedroom, witch was right across from his but a little further up the hallway next to Duo's. The floor creaked a bit but Wufei ignored it. As he approached Heero's bedroom the door swung open. Duo stepped out mumbling curses.
"Maxwell!" Wufei whispered loudly, crossing his arms over his sweaty pajama top.
Duo jumped out of surprise and faced Wufei.
"Oh hey Wu man, I thought..uh...you were asleep." Duo said, giving Wufei a fake grin. No way he could give him a real grin. He was still in deep thought about Heero.
Wufei's expression got softer and he sighed.
"Did you find anything out about Yuy?" He asked, almost..wistful.
"Nah! You know Heero. He likes his missions alone, secret, and hold the mayo." Duo said, his smile widening.
Wufei rolled his eyes. Suddenly, something disturbed the silence of the night. A loud buzzing came from Heero's computer. Duo and Wufei both jumped, looked at each other, and ran into Heero's bedroom. Duo had a look of worry on his face as he sat down in Heero's computer chair, breathing heavily. Wufei came up behind him. They stared at the computer screen that was blinking madly, a message flashing on and off. Wufei and Duo's expressions turned from worry to panic faster than a bullet can cut through your flesh.
The message read..."ABORT MISSION NOW! GET CONTACT WITH HEERO
YUY! INFORM HIM TO ABORT MISSION NOW! EMERGENCY!"
