Shadows were etched across the room as a figure typed away feverishly.
" Mission command"
Heero booted up his com-link. Dr. J's features covered the screen. The man was old and winkled, his mechanical arm hung idly at his side.
* " Only Heero would be up at 2 in the morning to receive a mission"* he thought as a mix of pride and astonishment filled the doctor.
" What do you want?" Heero snapped.
" I have a mission for you..." he started
" Obviously." Heero muttered.
Ignoring the comment the dr. continued. " You are to find this man, dr. heighten brown."
Heero printed out the picture that replaced the dr.'s face on the screen.
" Then what?" he replied mono toned.
" Well, since he is a retired scientist who works for..."
Heero had stopped listening as he studied the man's features. Dark wavy hair, dull brown eyes, and a wrinkled complexion, probably in his mid 40's.
" He is suspected to be developing and harnessing a virus to wipe out..." Heero snapped back to attention. His mind grasped the word again.
" A virus!" he mused. There where two kinds of viruses. The first and more uses full was the computer virus, his specialty. The second, a plague. Whose indifferent properties would suck out the life of any thing it came in contact with. The emotional scars of the effects lasted longer than the virus it's self. Heero had seen the affect a virus on a person, a person he was very close to. Pushing the though aside Heero accepted the mission, even without knowing all the details.
" And Heero, this is a covert operation. Don't use your gundam."
*" Damn. I never get any fun." * He thought.
Heero spent the next several hours of the night preparing for his mission. As he ran over the list of things he had planned, he heard duo snoring in the other room of the safe house.
" Braided baka" he muttered.

The next morning hero awoke grumpily. He had only gotten 1 or 2 hours of sleep. And as usual duo was already up and eating breakfast. Duo was seated at a small table with two boxes of cereal in front of him, a plate of muffins and some jam beside a stack of toast. He hungrily shoved food in his mouth in his normal manner.
" Good morning!" he exclaimed with a mouth full of food. It sounded more like " bood moiming" but Heero knew better.
" hmph" was the reply.
" Well...okay, HEY where are you off to?" Duo asked as Heero grabbed a bag and tried to dash out the door unnoticed." No school?"
Both Duo and Heero attended the near by and inconspicuous school in the town to maintaine a normal profile.
" Nope mission." He said still trying to get out the door before the conversation progressed, as he knew it would.
" Hey it's been awhile since the last mission..." Duo said with a keyed up gleam in his eye.
" No you can't come Duo." He said and started looking for a time to get out of the door.
* " Darn! How did he know?"* Duo thought. Duo considered himself Heero's friend. After all he was the only one Heero didn't say Omae o Korusa and point a gun at his head. Loving every mission he went on with the Japanese boy, so he could loosen him up. * " Boy, he is one up tight guy!" * were duo's thoughts. While duo appeared to be thinking, a rare event, Heero slipped out the door.
Duo looked up at an empty room.
" How does he do that???"
