Mission Baby

By Angelwings Sorrow

Chapter 2 "The Prodigal Son Returns"

That couldn't be right! He must have heard wrong; his brother would never get shot because it would leave a scar. Duval was so vain that he became one of the top fighters to protect his face, because he wanted to be a model when he retired; hence the name codename Hansom. He was strong and quick despite his huge size the was just no way he didn't see the shot coming and not dodged it. There must be some mistake!

"This better not be one of your lies Usopp or I will come over there and kick that lying head off your scrawny body!"

"I'm not lying, Sanji. Duval was shot on Monday when he went to go warn Rayleigh about the leak and Recall him back to CP9. He got there just as they were trying to kidnap Silver. They took the guys down but one got away but not before shooting two shots. One at each of them."

"MONDAY? THAT WAS THREE DAYS AGO! You are just telling me now! What the hell were you thinking sending this, Marimo, three days after it happened?"

"I sent Zoro as soon as Duval came in to the infirmary. He was the only available agent."

Sanji whirled around on Zoro who was now standing with his arms crossed looking bored for being ignored. "It took you three days to get here? It's only an hour and half drive from here, Baka!"

"Hey I followed the directions Usopp gave me!" the green-haired man snapped before muttering, "It's not my fault there are too many restaurants and the streets kept changing."

The cook put his face in his hand in defeat before turning back to the computer. "Usopp, is Duval alright?

"Yes, it was a clean through and through just hit him in the shoulder above his heart. He's resting under the care of the Witch Doctor."

"I'll clear some things here with Zeff then Vivi and I will be there as soon as we can. Have our rooms ready."

"Will do but can you bring Zoro with you? We don't have another three days for him to find his way back here."

"Fine, just make sure my brother is well and awake so I can kick his shitty face in for being stupid and getting shot." Sanji hung up not waiting for a response. He typed in another code into the computer and switched on the microphone.

"This All Blue I need everyone to come to the control room Now! This is not a drill! I repeat this is not a drill." After the upset blond turned off the microphone he lit a cigarette and began to pace.

"Who are we waiting for?" Zoro asked taking a seat on the couch. It looked like it was going to be awhile so he might as well be comfortable.

"The other CP9 Rejects. You see Marimo when you get kicked out, The Office, is not so kind with the pension. Unless you were a true asset you'll be lucky to leave with the clothes on your back. Since I opened the Cerulean Sea others who were kicked out of the Agency came to me needing work and help adjusting to civilian life. This leak at CP9 puts this restaurant at greater risk because almost my entire staff is Former agents."

Soon the downstairs office was filled with Agents all looking pissed at being called away from their duties. Zeff limped to his way to the front taking his place at Sanji's side. Vivi took her place on Sanji's right side shooting nervous glances at Zoro.

"Looks like everyone is here, Patty seal the door."

"This better not take long, Sanji, they need my genius in the kitchen."

"Only if they want food poisoning, now Shut up Patty Eggplant's got serious news." Zeff snapped and the focus was once again on the Tall blond.

"Thanks. Zeff is right I do have serious news. CP9 Sent this directionally challenge Marimo,"

"Hey! I have a name!"

"To tell us they fucked up and the leak turned into a gusher. Their incompetence has gotten my brother shot and in the Infirmary."

"What?" there was an uproar and it took another five minutes to calm everyone down. Everyone knew and loved Duval the big goof so they were all upset about him getting hurt.

"Sniper King has assured me that Hansom is under the loving care of the Witch Doctor."

"Poor bastard," Dalton chuckled. "I knew him well."

"That's enough jokes Ox, we'll have time to laugh at he funeral. Now we have a serious matter about a mole in CP9; that puts us all at risk. Now there will be a discreet background check on all costumers and use your security badges from here on out until this leak is plugged. Ms. Double Finger you'll be in charge of the civilian staff and their level one clearance. Also I need you to take Vivi's duty as hostess because I'll be taking her with me tonight."

"You got it Boss. Though, I don't know if I can compare to the sweet charm of the Cerulean Sapphire."

"Don't worry Paula I know you'll do fine, you are the Temptress of the Sea, after all." Vivi teased and the others laughed at the girls play fight.

"Touché my dear. You take care of your idiot brothers and I'll make sure these morons don't destroy our home."

"Now that you girls have it all settled we can rest easy." Sanji rolled his visible eye only to get an elbow in his side. As I was saying the Ladies are always right. For now it will be business as usual. The Shitty Old man,"

"Watch it Eggplant."

"He'll run the Kitchen, Ox I want you to take over security of the place and Mr. 2 will be in charge of the dinning room. If someone comes ordering the All Blue Special then it's a message from me but if they ask for the Marimo Platter then Shit hit the fan close up shop and run for the safe houses. That's it for now get back to work you lazy bums."

"Right, Boss!" the Crowd shouted before leaving the control room. Once everyone was gone Zeff and Vivi were left with Sanji and the intruder.

"So you're Mihawk's boy."

"You know this moss head?" Sanji snarled as he stubbed out his cigarette.

"No but I knew his uncle as well as his mother. She was a fine lady until she was died. Hawkeye left CP9 after her death to raise the boy."

"Now they recalled him. Uncle didn't want to go back but they said something that I couldn't hear that made him change his mind." Zoro grunted as he got up off the couch. "He only agreed to come back if I was transferred to CP9 from Black Ops."

"You're a Black Ops Bastard! It figures a muscle headed buffoon like you would be one of them."

"Listen you shit Cook! You don't know anything about me you can't lump me in with the rest of them!"

"Can't I?" Sanji just gave Zoro a cold dead look before retreating upstairs.

"I'm Sorry about my brother. He doesn't like Black Ops because they almost killed him in a mission gone bad. Dad, you better head up stairs the dinner rush is just starting they'll need you."

"Alright, Snow Pea, I'll leave this guy to you. I'll help the Eggplant finish settling things here, he'll meet you at home in a little bit." The two watched the old man limp up the stairs and out the door.

"You'll have to forgive them. They are both worried about Duval." Vivi punched a few codes in to the computer sealing the upper door and opening another door behind the Computer. "Please follow me."

The former Black Op's member followed the girl through the dark tunnel and up a flight of stairs to a secure door. He watched as she swiped a card and entered a code to allow them access. Once through the door he found they had entered the parking garage of the restaurant. "Sanji's car is the blue corvette. That one is my car."

"The Black Mercedes?"

"Oh no, that's Duval's Car. I meant the yellow Mini next to it. I had to fight my bothers to let me buy Karoo. They wanted me to have a big tank of a car for safety reasons but I just fell in love with Karoo." Vivi Smiled as they got in. "Buckle in tight. They made some modifications to him."

"Like wha….." The Little yellow mini shot out of the garage and was zooming down the street. He had never been in a mini that went this fast and he doubted that this was street Legal. Soon they were driving up the coast with surprisingly no cops in sight.

"So you're new to CP9, do you know anything that's going on?"

"No I don't. I only see Sniper King because my uncle dumped me on him. Other than helping him I've seen a lot a guys show up at the Office either injured or dead."

"I see. It's not going to pretty when were get there is it?"

"No it's not but they seem to think All Blue is the only one to clean up this mess."

"That's because My brother is the best." The yellow Mini pulled into the drive way of a huge beach house that was isolated at the top of a cliff. "You can wait in the living room while I pack, but don't touch anything. Sanji has almost as many traps as he does cooking knives."

As Zoro watched Vivi leave he began to wonder about this strange family, he was sent to find. Well not Family, he was sent to find the All Blue but it seems that the family is a packaged deal. At first he thought Usopp was joking about this guy or it was one of his more outlandish lies. Seriously who has a code name like All Blue? Obviously this Sanji guy did and he was as Mysterious as his Codename. He was Beautiful that part was undeniable, but this guy was also a fowl mouth bastard with a cold air about him. Something that bother the new agent was the small flickered of sadness in his eye that confused the fuck out of Zoro. What was it about this guy that made him want to know more?

He glanced around the living room it was modern and stylish but there were only a few pictures lying about. All of the photos were recent nothing more than a few years old. This seemed strange to him. He knew for a fact at the house he shared with his uncle there were tons pictures of him growing up. Some of them were of his mom before she died of leukemia. This house was bare it barely looked like they existed here.

"You know Marimo, you can sit on the couch it's not booby trapped."

"How was I supposed to know? The girl said not to touch anything, something about traps and knives. I didn't want to trigger anything at least not while I'm unarmed." Zoro snapped. He hated being caught unaware and this bastard had a habit of doing just that.

"My sister has a name you manner-less barbarian. If Vivi told you that she probably didn't want you to get our things dirty." The blond stepped into the room and lit a cigarette.

"No Nii-chan I was just teasing him." Vivi laughed as she entered the room wearing shorts and a blue tee-shirt carrying two Black bags. "I've packed all your old gear. You better go change."

"I'll be quick make-sure Moss-head doesn't steal anything." Sanji smirked then left for his own room.

"I'm not a thief!"

"Sorry about Sanji. Really I don't know what has gotten in to him. He is never this hostile to anyone."

"That's fine with me but he better not cry when I put my katana through his chest." The green haired man snarled.

"Oh you're a swordsman? My… Older cousins are swordsmen. I would love to see your fighting style."

"My uncle taught me the basics but I developed my on style from that. I am the only master of the Santoryu that I know of."

"Three swords, that's impressive Mr. Bushido-san."

"Don't praise him Vivi-chan, the Marimo's ego won't be able to fit in the house."

"What the Hell is your problem?" Zoro yelled as he turned to the spy. Only sheer will kept his jaw from falling to the ground. He thought the blond was beautiful before but now he was pure sex on legs. He watch the blond walk into the room with an elegant grace in black leather pants that looked as if they were painted on and left little to the imagination with a tight black silk shirt.

"My problem is that you are a Black Ops Bastard! My problem is my friends are hurt and dying! My problem is that my brother was shot! My problem is that CP9 is dragging me back to clean up their mess and doesn't give a shit whether me or my family dies to get it done!" in a fit of rage Sanji swung his leg and kicked the marble pillar that was closest to him with his bare foot, breaking it in half.

"Sanji!" Vivi ran to the fuming blond and checked his foot for injury. "Nothing is broken but you might be a little bruised tomorrow. Do you feel better now?"

"Che… for now but I probably will want to kick something again once we reach CP9. If I'm Lucky it will be Iva."

"I'm sure Iva will love to wipe the floor with you. Now get your shoes so we can go." Vivi watched sadly as the chef left the room. She knew it would be hard for him to go back; it was truly hurting him and there was nothing she could do to help.

"I underestimated him. He has power but he is not focusing it now. He really hates The Office doesn't he?"

"More than you can ever imagine. That's all I can say because it's not my story to tell."

"I respect that Vivi, but he shouldn't kill the messenger. Let's go, where's the car?" Zoro asked as he walked into the closet thinking it was the garage.

"In the garage Marimo. That is the closet." Sanji smirked as he pulled the swordsman out of said closet and pulled him to the garage. Vivi finished loading a sleek black Cadillac and was about to go to the driver's side when a sinfully long leg blocked her path. "It's my car, imooto, I'm driving."

"Hai, Sanji-nii." Vivi pouted and hopped into the backseat.

"You can drive this car, when you're older than me." The Blond smirked as he gracefully slid into the driver's seat.

"Nii-Chan! That's not fair I'll never be older than you!"

"Those are the breaks. Buckle up Marimo and hold on." As soon as Zoro shut his door the Cadillac shot out of the garage.

"Who the hell taught you to drive?" the blond just laughed at the look of pure terror on the moss-headed Black Ops' face.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

"Usopp, when is he going to get here?"

"Soon Kaku, I talked Sanji over an hour ago. You really need to relax." The inventor said as he continued to work on his latest creation. He was getting increasing annoyed with his older brother's pacing.

"Whitebeard has recalled the old higher ups. He kicked out almost all of the newer HPs but Rob, Kalifa and me. I think it's because he knew us growing up." Kaku stopped pacing and hopped up on an open space on the work bench.

"One of the many bonuses of being a Mission Baby. If he's recalling Shanks than that means…"

"Yeah, Dad is coming back." Both brothers shuttered at the thought of their sniper father coming back to work.

"So Whitebeard kicked out the government picks huh?"

"That's his way for controlling the flow of the leak, but I'm not so sure."

"Hmm… I'll dig around the computers and see if I can find a drip to follow."

"Good. I need to go work out this nervous energy. I'm heading to the training room." The elder brother hopped off the bench and headed for the door.

"I wouldn't if I were you. The twins are in their and She is going all out."

"Oh, I forgot. There have been so many casualties I wasn't thinking."

"Yeah I'm hoping that Sanji can calm her down when he gets here. She'll listen to him. For now you can run on the treadmill in my room."

"Will do little brother." Kaku didn't get to the door when it burst open.

"There's my boys!"

"Dad! You're here two days early." Usopp said dropping the prototype he had been working on.

"I told you that so I could surprise you guys and spend time with my boys." Yasopp smiled whiled nearly strangled his eldest son in a one arm hug around the neck.

"Go…od to see … you too… dad."

"Come on Usopp let's go celebrate!" The sharpshooter shouted dragging Kaku out the door.

"It's going to be a long night."

XxXxXxXxXxXx

"You're insane; I am never riding with you again!" Zoro shouted as he stormed into the headquarters building face looking almost as green as his hair.

"Who knew the Marimo had such a weak stomach?" The smoking blond strolled in after him with a giggling Vivi bringing up the rear.

"Roronoa, I thought you were on assignment. You have been gone for days."

"Sorry Uncle Usopp sent me to get this shitty ero-cook." the Swordsman bowed to a tall man with a Spanish hat and a giant sword on his back.

"Ah you got lost didn't you?" The older Swordsman sighed giving his nephew a knowing look.

"I didn't! Usopp just wrote down the wrong streets."

"Keep telling yourself that Marimo if it makes you feel better. Konbanwa Mihawk, long time no see." Sanji bowed to the former higher up and one of his former teachers.

"Sanji, it has been a long time. You are no longer the short fowl mouth brat I once taught." Piercing yellow eyes glanced over the thin blond.

"No I'm not, but then again Zeff says I'm now just a tall fowl mouth brat."

"HAHAHA! That Old Bastard is still alive and kicking eh? You give him my regards and then kick him on his ass for me."

"Will do sir." Sanji bowed once again.

"Come Roronoa there has been another attack you need to be briefed."

"Hai."

"Two peas in a pods those guys." A voice laughed from behind. "Sanji Vivi it's good to see you."

"Shanks you're back too? Are all the old geezers here?" Sanji shook hands with the one armed man confused as to what's been going on since the leak was discovered.

"Pretty much, we're not all happy to be back. White Beard has cut off communications with the World Government until this can be fixed. Follow me." The two began to follow shanks down the hall and in to a privet elevator.

"Please Identify."

"Red here with All Blue and Ms. Wednesday." Shanks stated as the computer scanned them.

"Identity Confirmed. What level?"

"Infirmary."

"Acknowledged"

"We expected you guys days ago. What happened?"

"Your messenger got lost." Sanji shrugged as he crushed out his cigarette on the heel of his shoe.

"You're kidding!" the red haired man laughed loud. "So Mihawk's golden boy has a flaw! That is just too much."

"Infirmary sublevel 6"

The doors opened and it was like walking into chaos. Nurses and doctors were running from place to place. Crash codes being called out. Orders were shouted followed by machines beeping out of controlled.

"An hour ago the Black Ops training center was hit with a time bomb set to go off during the evening assembly."

"That's awful!" Vivi gasped in horror and her eyes filled with tears over the innocent lives that were killed and hurt.

"This leak is more like a flood now. Whitebeard has never trusted those lapdogs that the WG placed in the Higher Ups chairs. They tried to replace us all, but the old man was too stubborn to go. I believe if it weren't for him we'd all be dead now."

"So you think it's the WG that's killing us off?" Sanji asked as he absorbed what the older man was saying.

"We think so. This agency was started when White Beard and the King were recruited fresh out of the marine academy. That was before the world powers came together to form the WG. The number one rule then was to avoid casualties at all cost. Once the WG was brought into power CP9 was put under their jurisdiction; slowly the death rate of both Agents and civilians has gone up since then."

"Are shitting me? Why hasn't anyone noticed before this or at least tried to stop them?"

"We all are just clogs in this machine Sanji. Whitebeard had his suspicions but nothing concrete until the Don Kreig case." Shanks felt bad as he watched the young blond stiffen at the mention of the case that got Gin killed.

"What do you mean?"

"He didn't give the Order to the Black Ops. His name was on the Paper work but he didn't give the order. That Op was a complete mess but nothing could be done. No one could talk to you because you were buried in your anger and grief."

"Yeah well I'm still not eager to talk to you guys let alone be here."

"I know kid. We all aren't here by choice, but we are here for a reason. Whitebeard wants to see you first thing in the morning. Here's Hansom's room."

"Fine I'll be there, come on Vivi." Sanji didn't bother with goodbyes and turned into the room.

"Forgive him Shanks he knows it's not your fault."

"No worry's little lady I understand what he's going through. This place took my arm and almost took Luffy's life. I'm just as angry but I just hide it better." Vivi gave him a sad smile before following Sanji into the room.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

"Ow! I've been Shot no need to give me a concussion too!"

"You're lucky I don't kill you myself for all the worry you gave us!" Sanji yelled at the older blond who was now holding his head.

"Hey, it wasn't as if I planned to get hurt. I went to go get Silver and there were guys there trying to drag him out of his house! He was fighting them off when I got there and I helped him take them down. One guy I thought was out cold was just playing dead and caught me by surprise."

The younger spy pinched the bridge of his nose to stem of the headache that was trying to overwhelm him. "How many times have I told you to check your kills? Just because they are down does not mean they are out!"

"Nii-chan don't be so hard on him he is still recovering." Vivi sighed as she fluffed Duval's pillows.

"Thank you Imooto-chan. I knew you would protect me."

"Only until you're better; then I can kick your but for getting shot!"

"Are you all against me?" the elder Blackleg whined as the others just laughed.

"Sanji! You're finally here, thank Kami!" a tall man with Blood red bangs and black hair and a moon tattooed on his neck ran in to room.

"Fadre, hey, long time no see. Why do you look like you've been through a meat grinder?" Sanji eyed the young man who was covered in cuts and bruises.

"I need you to come with me to the training room she is out of control."

"Who is out of control?"

"My sister all of these are all from her! She has been in the training room for the passed four days. She is upset and grieving but she hasn't slept or eaten in days."

"Sanji go with him." Duval urged. "Soba was killed in the raid that injured Ace and Luffy."

"Shit! I'm on my way." The blond ran out the door with the Fadre running after him.

"Who was that?" Vivi watched worriedly as she sat in the chair next to the bed.

"That was Fadre one of CP9's weapons expert codename Dark Sentinel. His twin sister Sukora is also a weapons expert codenamed Silent Night. She was engaged to Soba, who was an infiltration specialist and he died protecting Ace as they escaped from a raid."

"How awful, but how can Sanji help?"

"We've known them since we were kids. White beard found them on a case, both were torture and abused. He adopted them and brought them here. Sukora never fully recover she hasn't said a word to anyone since they were found. She doesn't trust anyone but four people. Well now that Soba is gone it's down to three. If she won't listen to her father or brother she'll listen to Sanji."

"That poor girl. I don't know what I would have done if Koza had been killed in the rebellion." Vivi's heart bled for the girl who lost her one true love.

"Everyone grieves in their own way but once she accepts it she'll grow stronger. But until this leak is plugged none of us can move forward." Duval held her hand and both sat in the silence each pensive with their own thoughts.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

Zoro didn't know what to make of the sight that greeted him when he walked into the training room that morning. He had gotten up at 5 as he did every morning did his morning stretches and head to the training room for a good work out before his meeting with his uncle and the HPs. What he didn't expect to find was the Blond love-cook asleep against the wall with a petit girl with lond black and red streaked hair curled in his lap. As he got closer to them he noticed both looked beaten up pretty good. Quietly as he could the swordsman knelt down and tried to wake the sleeping man.

"Oi." He called out softly but the blond wasn't waking. So he tried a bit rougher approach. He began to shake the two a little rougher than necessary. "Oi!"

"Shake me one more time and I'll kill you Marimo." Sanji hissed and glared at the smirking Moss-head.

"You wouldn't wake up and I needed the training room."

"I didn't answer because I wanted you to go away."

"So what's with the Pixie?"

"You're lucky the Pixie is asleep or she would have killed you for calling her a pixie. She is a friend who lost her love in a raid." Sanji brushed the long hair away from the girls face to see the tear tracks had long dried up and exhaustion had taken over. He would have to get the Doctor to look at her. There probably were more injuries than the bruises on her face. He would never admit it but the shitty swordsman was right she did look like a pixie. "Give me a hand I'm stuck and her brother is in his room sleeping."

"Sure." With ease Zoro lifted the Pixie off the blond. "She's too light hardly weights anything. Doesn't her brother feed her?"

"She's been grieving but you right he should have made sure she ate something. I'm going to give that guy a kick in the head when he wakes up. Don't worry; I'll whip up something that will put meat on her bones when she wakes up."

"Hn." The swordsman watched as the slim spy stood and stretched before taking the sleeping girl from his arms.

"Grab those sais will you? My hands are a little full."

"Fine. So what happened to the two of you? You guys like ou were in a war? " Picking up the weapons he followed Sanji out of the training room.

"Like I said she was grieving. Sukora doesn't handle death well. She tries to put her body through the same amount of pain that is in her heart. Those of us you try and stop her gets the bunt force of her grief."

"Hard to believe that, that pixie is that strong; these are some seriously weighted weapons."

"That she is, one of the best weapons experts in CP9, a Mission Baby by adoption. Her old man is Whitebeard and the reason she's impossibly strong. He didn't know anything about raising girl. Instead he trained her like another son. Stay close I don't need you getting lost down here Marimo."

"It's not my fault the hallways all look the same dartbrow." Once they got the pixie to her room and tucked into bed they were left with an awkward silence. They walked down the hall until the silence began unbearable.

"Look…" the both started

"No you first…" they both said.

"No you…" Okay now Sanji was getting annoyed they both kept saying the same thing at the same time. If it happened again he was going to kick the asshole into the wall. Meanwhile Zoro was having the exact same thoughts.

"SANJI! ZORO!" bloodshed was spared as Usopp came running down the hall towards them.

"What's up Usopp?"

"All the HPs have arrived they want you both in the board room in ten minutes."

"I thought most of them refused to come back." Zoro scratched his head in confusion.

"They did until Whitebeard called them personally." All three men shuttered at the thought of a personal call from their terrifying leader.

"Can it wait? I need to change and get the Witch Doctor to look at Sukora. I just put her to bed but she is still messed up from training."

"Sure thing but that's a no go on the change of clothes he wants you there ASAP."

"Don't worry Princess I'm sure they'll understand that you didn't have time to powder your nose." Zoro smirked.

"Watch it Marimo that's prince to you." Sanji snapped as he tried to straighten out his appearance. It was hard to look presentable in ripped leather pants and a torn silk shirt.

"Man you guys sound like an old married couple." Usopp laughed earning a glare from both agents. "We'll… yeah… I'll go see the doctor for Sukora, BYE!"

The two men watched the inventor run away as fast as his scrawny legs could carry him.

"He better run bastard." The blond smirked as he lit a fresh cigarette.

"We should go see what My uncle and the others have to say." The swordsman yawned and started walking aaway.

"Sure thing, expect the conference room is this way Marimo." Sanji smiled enjoying the stomping sound of heavy combat boots catching up to him. He continued to smile as he listened to mutterings of, "Damn halls look alike." With Zoro around he might stay relax enough not to kill everyone in the office.
