Breakfast was silent with the exception of pilots 02 and 04 excitedly chatting with each other. The other three pilots seemed more content with listening then with talking. After breakfast they moved to the living room for introductions. It was a start, but they were not exactly socially talented after running around with little to no human interaction, it was to be expected.

It was probably not very obvious as to why they were all together. To most of their disgust, they were ordered to get to know each others weaknesses and strengths. The reasoning for this was to make ideas as to who would be partnered frequently and who would not. It was a standard procedure for most military cores lately, at least after the recent incidents where partners started killing one another. Many found it to be a humorous situation, but they could not afford to lose any more soldiers. Everything was a safety precaution, but it did not mean that all the pilots were happy about it.

Duo smiled as he glanced around the dusty living room. Everything was old, and molded giving it a distinct character that made Duo chuckle quietly to him self. He didn't really mind all the raised eyebrows he was receiving, he knew he was fucked up and accepted it.

His musings didn't last long as they were interrupted by the Chinese bastard; Duo hated his thoughts being disturbed. It was fortunate that no one noticed the frown fleeting across his face or the narrowing of his eyes; he was in no mood for questions. Sighing slowly, he faced the other four pilots that were occupying his breathing space. All he really wanted to do was slam his head against a wall to relieve all the tension he was feeling from the others. He hated people and emotions. That was his last thought as everything blanked out.

Heero Yuy despised…no, loathed mysteries. This was why he had a growing disdain for pilot 02, even if he was annoyingly gorgeous. Pilot 02, or as he liked to be called, Duo, had seemed to be getting antsy before all of a sudden, he became like a whole new person. His eyes became glazed for a couple seconds before his eyes bled blue streaks and he discreetly took a gold band from his right ring finger and placed it on his left. Heero wasn't American, but didn't the left ring finger mean marriage? Heero didn't know what the hell was going on but he had some research to do if he was going to get any answers. He tuned everyone out as he focused his observation skills on Duo…or was it someone else?

Wufei was lost as to what was occurring with 01, he seemed extremely intent on Maxwell…it was kind of disturbing. He shrugged it off as Winner decided to start the introductions.

"Well, I guess I'll go first. After one of us presents our name, we'll ask as many questions as needed…any personal questions do not have to be answered." He said in a formal tone.

"Like I mentioned before, my name is Quatre Raberba Winner, Pilot 04 of Sandrock. Go ahead and ask any questions you want." He waited silently with a calm smile as everyone observed him, 01 also reluctantly turning his head away from a twitching Maxwell.

"What are your weaknesses and strengths?" Pilot 03 asked, catching just about everyone off guard except for a fumbling Maxwell, who was acting a little different from the mischievous and calm attitude that he had displayed in the kitchen.

Winner just smiled kindly, making Wufei want to scream at him for his accepting manner, and started listing his weaknesses, then his strengths.

"Physically, I have no weak points, nor any advantages. In battle, I am not the best at hand-to-hand combat, but I am a…decent strategist, fairly good with stealth, and definitely do not need any more training with weapons." He paused…almost hesitated, while most of the Pilots and Wufei gave him a weird look for the way he had phrased his sentences.

Winner sighed slowly with a thoughtful and serious expression on his face before speaking again. "Mentally…I am most likely the weakest and the strongest asset you can have for this team."

Everyone, even the ever so distracted Maxwell, gave him a blank look. It wasn't long before Wufei broke the silence with a disbelieving snort, almost a chuckle. To him, this kid was off his rocker, it was hard to believe that he could physically hurt a human being, but the thought of him being mentally stronger than any of the other pilots made Wufei want to start rolling on the floor laughing hysterically.

"Prove it!" Wufei challenged him, gaining a smirk from Maxwell, who had finally decided to change back to his old demeanor again. Winner smiled again before sighing in a fashion that would make you think he was dealing with children who wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. Wufei almost flushed at the thought, because he was acting childish. He was most likely going to eat his own words; it always seemed to turn out that way. He should learn to keep his damn mouth shut.

This wonderful Angel was proving to be very intriguing to Trowa. His blond hair and turquoise eyes were a turn on that Trowa had never experienced before. It was frightening for him to be losing so much control because of just one boy. The Angel had hesitated once more after pilot 05 had asked for proof. I t was a surprise when Maxwell decided to burst out in giggles.

"Man, Quat you really are complex aren't ya?" Maxwell said in between gulps of air, he obviously knew something the other pilots did not know. Quat (Maxwell's nickname for him the Angel was cute) looked confused before a blush spread over his face at the use of the new nickname.

"What do you mean?" He murmured. Maxwell stopped laughing as a serious look shot across his face as he talked back.

"You tell me?" It was silent for a moment before Quat nodded his head once.

"I have empathetic abilities. It is one of the reasons I am a gundam pilot, I've had them since I was young." He said clearly with a solemn look on his face. Maxwell nodded in acceptance as 05 and 01 decided not to say anything, they obviously did not believe him. It must have shocked everyone when Trowa spoke to Quat, focusing his attention only on him.

"Pilot 03, Trowa Barton, it's nice to meet such an intriguing person such as you." He really enjoyed shocking other people; it was a guilty pleasure of his. Trowa almost broke his emotionless mask to smirk at them as they all turned towards him with confused looks. Trowa didn't pay any attention to them though as Quat had smiled a soft smile before holding his hand out to him in a friendly gesture.

"It's nice to meet you Trowa Barton." He replied. Trowa took his hand and shook it once, before returning to his position at the window seat. It was hard to tell, but Trowa had a feeling that he was falling fast for the beautiful blond pilot that he had only known for half a day…that could not be good. It did not help that Maxwell was watching him with knowing eyes, maybe he could chop his braid off in his sleep to keep him from squealing to Quat.
