Is That Possible?

"Since you've likely already disposed of the bodies, do you at least know their names?" Rome wanted to know, pretty sure that he would since Brad was a very, very thorough man. The question was, what would he want in return?

"I took the liberty of finding that and more out." Crawford replied smoothly as he reached into his suit pocket, retrieving a disk that he held it out to Rome who took it and put it in her own pocket. "Now as I'm pushed for time I'd like one moment to speak with you, Rome. Then I need to be on my way."

"Thanks for the help, Crawford." Asia said as she tugged on his arm enough so that on tip toes she could kiss his cheek. "Even if you would have taken the contract normally."

"You're welcome." Crawford replied, a faintly amused look on his face as he walked a slight distance away, waiting for Rome to join him.

"So what's the story with those two?" Sally wanted to know as she watched Rome go over to talk with the handsome but obviously bad hunk named Crawford. Those two had some serious chemistry going.

"Well they're...friends." Asia said with a shrug, hedging the truth.

"Peacecraft's replacement if he screws up again you mean." Sue Ling corrected dryly, her eyes never leaving the pair. She didn't think Crawford would try anything but one never knew with him, plus Farfarfello was nearby, she could feel him.

"Replacement?" Sally repeated with a raised eyebrow, looking over at the pair with more interest now, her curiosity piqued. "I wouldn't think he'd stand a chance with her. Other than the immense control over his emotions he doesn't strike me as being anything like Milliardo. Plus isn't he just a little too bad?"

"They've been lovers on and off over the years." Asia confined with a wiggle of her eyebrows, unable not to spill. "Crawford is pre Zechs and when she and Milliardo were off then she and Crawford were on until she fell hard enough for our ice prince. Then she reduced her and Crawford to just friends which he didn't like at all. Needless to say if Rome hadn't made him swear not to harm a hair on Milliardo's head you can bet Crawford would have taken Zechs out years ago to get her back. Plus, they do say that every girl needs a bad boy in their life before they can appreciate a good one. Crawford is most definitely as a bad a boy as even the most bad ass girl can reasonably handle."

"And Milliardo would be classified as a good one?" Trowa wanted to know, Milliardo's past not exactly lily white.

"You could combine all the sins you and the other five pilots have committed and you would still not be nearly as bad as Crawford." Sue Ling commented quietly, not fond of the American in the least though she did respect his skill and abilities. "He's a true predator and a nearly unbeatable one. He's long since closed off his heart and his conscience, only Weiss has faced him in battle and lived to speak of it."

"Like this Farfie?" Sally asked, morbidly curious about this guy who's name had caused Rome, Sue Ling and Asia to tense up.

"Yuppers. He's a very hot Irishman who's pretty much insane. He's incapable of feeling pain so you could be pumping rounds of bullets into his chest and he wouldn't feel a thing even as he died. I don't know if he was born that way or if he's trained himself, he's cut himself enough after all that it could go either way. You ever see a young, white haired man with golden eyes, an eye patch and scars all over his arms and some on his face run, don't walk." Asia advised as she rubbed her arms for some warmth. Just talking about the guy was enough to freeze her blood. "They call him the Beserker."

"I've heard of him." Trowa said with the faintest of frowns. God but what would have happened if Crawford had taken the contract? He didn't want to think about it.

"Uh oh. He's upset her a great deal." Sue Ling announced as she nodded to Rome who was walking towards them with a pissed off look on her face as she muttered under her breath angrily. Meanwhile, behind her Crawford got back into the car as if nothing had happened.

"I have to give him my good bye, don't shoot him." Sue Ling told Trowa softly then in a flash she had three knives in her hands and was sending them flying into the nearby darkness, a couple car lengths away from Crawford's car. Moments later the same three, plus one more came flying back at her, aimed at her head, neck, heart and stomach. Caught in rapid succession and speed Sue Ling held them between her fingers and watched as Farfarfello appeared from the darkness, giving a slight nod in her direction before getting into the car as well which then drove off. "It's his way of saying hello." Sue Ling explained, busy studying the extra blade he'd given her. It was really nice.

"So that's Farfarfello." Sally whispered, feeling goose bumps break out on her arm as Rome rejoined them, muttering under her breath with a mutinous look on her face. "Bad news?"

"The bastard. That good for nothing, rotten bastard." Rome muttered, wishing she hadn't been too stunned to hit him. "He knows, he just knows. Now I'm going to be thinking about it all night, the assehole. I should hunt him down and kill him. No one would ever find his body and so what if I've never beat him? I'll take Sue Ling along and then just see if we don't win. I'll call Ran and the others into it too. He's gonna die for this."

"Uhm..what did he say?" Asia blurted out, trying to follow along.

"There's just no way that it could be humanly possible!" Rome blurted out, her eyes livid. "The human body was not meant to move like that. He just put it into my head because he knew it would plague me, especially since there's no way for me to find out! He knew I'd be thinking about it which meant I'd have to think of him and dammit! I want to kill him!"

"Find out what?" Trowa wanted to know, confused but pretty sure that Crawford must have posed a suggestion or question that was the cause of Rome agitation.

"If it's humanly possible." Rome snarled.

"Oh." Asia said with a grin, understanding blooming. Crawford had played one of his favorite games and gotten Rome all frazzled as usual "He does like playing with your head like that, doesn't he? Tell me?" Asia asked pleadingly as she moved over to Rome's side. "I get a kick out of them even though I could never manage most of them."

"You aren't helping." Rome said with a dark look then with a sigh leaned down and whispered Brad's little suggestion in Asia's ear.

"Oh. Oh." Asia said with a faint blush coming to her cheeks. "There is no way in hell that that's humanly possible. If it is it's gotta hurt like hell. Though..maybe it would be worth it."

"That kind of suggestion?" Sally smiled as she clued in, Trowa still in the dark while Sue Ling had no problems understanding the conversation. "Well in that case I should point out I am a doctor." Sally added with a devilish grin. "I could give my opinion, as a physician."

"Nice try, Sals but I'm not buying." Rome replied with a reluctant smirk even as she caved in. "Promise never to repeat this to anyone without permission?" When Sally nodded Rome moved over and repeated the suggestion in Sally's ear, smirking when Sally's cheeks went bright red. "So, doctor..in your expert opinion..is it physically possible?"

"Ask me again when my brain's functioning again. That just caused a huge electrical surge of massive proportions." Sally said dryly, looking over at Asia who was whispering to Sue Ling before turning back to Rome. "I don't suppose you could put in a good word for me with him? At the moment..I don't care how bad he is with that sort of creative imagination."

"It's possible."

Everyone looking over at Sue Ling, Rome was the first to speak. "You think so?"

"Both participants would have to be triple jointed as well as male and female but yes, I believe it is possible." Sue Ling answered with a calm expression, not surprised or shocked in the least by any of it. Shocking her was harder than shocking Trowa in certain areas, especially such as this one. "I can at least say for sure that I could get my own body into such a position."

"What did he say?" Trowa wanted to know, having clued in enough to get the general idea and was now curious, embarrassingly enough. All the girls but Sue Ling turning to look at him in shock he self consciously shrugged. "I can be curious too. Plus you'll all be talking about it the whole car ride back."

"Hey, you know Trowa is triple jointed." Asia pointed out, a decidedly evil grin on her face as she sent Trowa a deviously amused look. "So we know that a female can manage..he'd know what his body can and can't do."

Looking weary now as three pairs of female eyes looked at him with new interest Trowa suddenly got the urge to run and run fast.

"If I told you you'd have to swear never to tell ANYONE what Crawford said. Not any of the guys, especially any related to me." Rome warned carefully as she crossed her arms in front of her chest, even as she warmed up to the idea. "No one without permission."

"Fine." Trowa said with a shrug, very curious now but hiding it easily.

"Okay...uhm..Sue Ling..would you mind telling him?" Rome asked, her cheeks going the faintest of pinks. "He's too much like another kid brother and you're the only one who could say it and make it sound like you were talking about asking for another cup of tea or something."

Rolling her eyes Sue Ling moved closer to Trowa then motioned him to bend his head down before going up on tip toes to whisper the suggestion in practical, straight to the point terms. When she was done she stepped away then couldn't help but smile just a little. The Silencer, the king of control stood there with his mouth open and a fine blush moving over his cheeks.

"Oh my God..Trowa is blushing." Asia cried in delight, throwing her hand over her mouth as her eyes danced with laughter. "He's actually blushing. Something actually got through that armor of his. Who knew it would be sex talk."

"And that's not pink, that's a full blown red blush." Rome added with a laugh, reaching over to pat the poor guy on the shoulder. he looked like he'd just been told he was actually Duo's twin brother and was in love with Paris who was really a girl who'd had a sex change.

Knowing he was blushing but unable to do anything about it Trowa barely heard their teasing comments. All he could think about was Sue Ling's voice whispering that in his ear and her calm statement that she could get her body into that position. He was only human and a perfectly healthy heterosexual male. He now had that image branded into his head and he seriously wondered if he was ever going to be able to look Sue Ling in the eyes again. He really doubted it.

"So, Trowa...your opinion on the possibility?" Sally inquired innocently, laughter dancing in her eyes. She couldn't help it, it was just so funny to see the great ice man Trowa Barton taken down by a little dirty talk.

"It's...it's...possible." Trowa managed to croak out then stuffing his hands in his pockets got the hell out of there, walking towards their cars at a speed walk that had the others hurrying after him.

Arriving back at hers and Milliardo's apartment an hour later Rome yawned as she unlocked the door then sliding in hung up her coat and put away her boots before walking into the living room, nearly having a heart attack when she found her brother, Julian and Milliardo waiting for her, all sending her looks that could freeze a person a mile away. Okay...they weren't happy about something. Raising her hands in the air Rome smirked, trying to defuse the tension in the air. "I'm unarmed. What's got all your boxers in twists?"

"How could you have been involved with Crawford!" Julian blurted out before one of the other two could let loose. "He's evil!"

"He's not evil, he's just..Crawford." Rome replied calmly, reevaluating the situation. Apparently they'd somehow found out about just how involved she and Crawford had been and were now on the war path. The question was..well it wasn't a question, she knew. Hell. "You were monitoring tonight I take it? I can't see any other way since he enjoyed pulling the wool over your eyes too much to tell you." Her eyes were on Milliardos though and they gave away nothing.

"You're damn right we were. What the hell were any of you thinking? And what the hell did that bastard say to you?" Paris demanded to know, coming to one of the main points of this confrontation. All the times it had been spoken of it had been in whispers too low for the cameras to pick up. Curiosity was driving him bonkers.

"What a way to start the day." Rome muttered as she walked over to take a seat. This was going to be worse then meeting Farfarfello in a dark alley while you were dressed as a nun.

Everyone coming to work the next day it became everyone's goal to attempt to bribe Asia, Trowa and Sally into spilling the beans. Unfortunately for them everyone was holding to their promises and besides that, none of them wanted to explain it to the guys.

"Come on, Trowa." Duo begged as he waved a donut in Trowa's face. "Why won't you tell me? I promise I'll never tell anyone, ever. I'll take it to my grave. I swear. Come on, its been killing me, wondering what the guy suggested. It had to be pretty hot for you to blush."

"I gave Rome my word." Trowa repeated having had to say that a lot already and it wasn't even noon yet. He wouldn't be at all surprised if Julian or Paris visited him with offers now in the tens of thousands. They really, really wanted to know. Apparently they'd ambushed Rome when she'd gotten home and they'd been bombarded her ever since until she locked herself in the bathroom in self defense until they'd left for work. He also knew that the two, along with Milliardo were now hunting for the where abouts of this Crawford though they'd apparently had no luck so far.

"I'll never tell her that you told me though." Duo pouted, giving Trowa his best puppy dog eyes.

"If you don't want me to hurt you you'll leave, Maxwell." Came Rome's cold voice and turning around Duo took one look at her face and got the hell out of there. Watching him go Rome sighed then walking over took a seat in front of Trowa's desk before laying her head down on his desk. "Thanks..for not saying anything." She finally said, her shoulders slumped. She'd gotten zero sleep and the most important men in her life were furious with her. Definitely not a good day so far.

"It will blow over eventually." Trowa said as he leaned over to awkwardly pat her shoulder. "And none of us will..err..break our word."

"Milliardo won't look at me." Rome said pitifully, feeling like Trowa was the only one she could come to at the moment. She'd originally intended to go to Quatre but she figured the root of the problem would just ruffle him. Plus he was mad at her too for not including him the night before. "It wasn't like I just went back and forth between them, Trowa. I was involved with Brad first and then when I went to Mars with Milliardo I broke up with Brad because I realized I was developing feelings for Milliardo. I knew that Brad..well what he was becoming...that he was becoming less.. humane every time I saw him. Then Milliardo showed no interest in being serious so I went back to Brad for a while but then Zechs started to let me in and I knew I loved him so I called it quits for good with Brad and stuck with Milliardo, even when he gave me cause to dump his ass. Now he's acting like I've been sneaking around with Brad behind his back all these years, dammit."

"Well this isn't uhm..my area of expertise but I think you just have to give him time to accept things. If he can't handle the fact that you once had a..strong relationship with someone else then he's not the man you deserve." Trowa said carefully, on thin ice here, especially since he didn't have any experience in these sort of things. All he could do was use simple logic. "It's wrong of him to be mad at you for this but I guess even in today's society men view a woman's sexual history differently then they would another male's."

"Tell me about it." Rome muttered but she lifted her head, feeling better to hear a guy agree with her. She'd known that her girlfriends would have been better at comforting her but what she'd really needed was someone who wouldn't sugar coat or lie to her to make her feel better. You could count on Trowa to tell it like it was regardless of your feelings. "Thanks, I just needed to hear it from someone who's opinion I respect as much as yours."

Surprised and flattered that she would value his opinion he was just about to tell her he was happy to help when he saw Milliardo in the doorway, watching Rome. "Something I can help you with, Peacecraft?" Trowa wanted to know, deliberately putting ice in his tone to get his opinion across. Even when he was angry his voice never changed so when he made the effort to put feeling into it it made double the impact.

Looking over at the doorway Rome sighed then got to her feet. "I should be heading into the office, I'll see you this Sunday for Thanksgiving or whenever." Rome said with a weak smile in Trowa's direction before getting up to leave the room, not really all that surprised when Milliardo followed her out, wordlessly walking at her side.

"I'm still going to kill him." Milliardo finally said, his hands shoved into his pockets. "But I'm not very mad at you."

"You can try if you want." Rome said with a faint smile, understanding that in his way he was trying to make up. He was lousy at it but she reached over to slide her arm through his, moving close enough to brush against him. "And I still won't tell you what he said."

"As my absolutely bestest friend you should tell me." Julian said as he gave Sue Ling his most pitiful looks without much success. Giving up for the moment Julian sighed then brightened as he remembered what he'd planned to tell her before this whole can of worms had been opened. "I found a way to get closer to Catherine, I forgot to tell you my great plan."

"Let me sit down first." Sue Ling said as she took a seat then waited for him to drop what was sure to be a hell of a bomb.

"Oh yea of little faith. I'm going to go visit her sometime around Thanksgiving and convince her to let me become a silent partner in her circus. Isn't that a great idea?"
