Heero fought the pressure he felt on his shoulders.
Wufei and Trowa restrained him down as Quatre works
furiously on his laptop. He grunted and gave up, his face
showing nothing but a glare. All of them hovered around
their meeting place, the place where he had brought Relena
to before leaving for outer space. He had let the damn
Kincaid take Relena and he was a coward and ran away.
It has been two days since that day, that day Relena let
Brian capture her to let Heero have a chance to escape.
'I will kill you if you hurt her.' He warned. Her glanced
at Quatre again, who was once busy with the laptop
stared at him.

"Heero, is this a good time to explain now?" he
asked. Heero didn't reply.

"Yeah, buddy. Tell us why you got gathered all
of us here three days ago." Duo added. Heero slammed
his head back against the soft cushion of the sofa. Trowa
and Wufei let go of both his shoulders and sat in a nearby
chair.

"I was about to leave for the mission and she came."
he said quietly. They all just looked confused for a moment.

"Oh, now I get it!" shouted Quatre. All eyes were
on him. "You see, Heero wasn't sure how dangerous this
mission was going to be."

"And then Relena came and he was sure she wanted
to go too." Dorothy filled in.

"So he called us to help, not really to help with the
mission, but more protecting Relena!" Hilde finished. They
all seemed relief. "Then, what's the info on Brian Kincaid?"
Heero closed his eyes.

"Relena told me something about him."

"Other than they're getting married?" shouted Duo. Hilde
jabbed him in the stomach. Heero was still silent. Dorothy
hesitated for a while, but continued.

"She told me that he spent a lot of his time outside the
office. He told her that all of his goals are passed down from
his father. And Heero told us that he was the one that captured
her a while ago." The pieces of the puzzle were beginning to form
the picture now. Only a couple of pieces were still needed though.

"I knew that guy was trouble all along!" Catherine exclaimed.
Hilde rolled her eyes.

"Weren't you the one who said, 'Gosh Relena, I'm really glad
you found someone to love. At least he loves you back, not like
that emotionless ex-hus...'" she stopped. Heero closed his eyes
harder. All of them glanced at him. They all felt the hurt Heero
must be feeling now. They all knew he still loved her. All he
had to do was admit it. He jumped out of his seat again. This
time almost made it to the door, but the guys all pulled him back.

"Heero, you can't go off looking for her now!" Wufei yelled.
Heero struggled out the their grasps.

"If you go now, you'll get killed!" Trowa exclaimed.

"I don't care. I have to save her!" He cried out. They
pulled the enraged Heero back to the sofa, showing concern for
him as well.

"Heero, I know you love her and want to get her
back where she belongs, but it's too late now. The only
thing we can do is wait until the time is right. After the last
events, I'm sure Brian Kincaid is smart enough to watch out
for us. Relena won't be harmed, I'm sure of that." Quatre
continued. "I got some news that the Primus had multiplied,
not only in outer space, but one large station here on earth
as well. We have to wait until everything we do is planned out.
Then we take a straight hit. You need to be calm, Heero. For
her sake." he finished. Heero was breathing rapidly. Sweat
forming on his forehead.

Duo looked down at his best friend. Without Relena, Heero
was as good as dead. After she had left five years ago, he was a workaholic.
He still remembers on one coincidence when he came into Heero's
office, Heero was holding Relena's picture and talking to it as if it
was really her, not only that, Duo stood in there for quite a long time and
yet, Heero never noticed it. 'God, Relena. He needs you now more than
ever.'

She sat in the darkness. It has been one week since she'd last
seen him. 'Heero, where are you?' she thought. After the last meeting with
Brian, he hadn't come back since then. She felt like a forgotten prisoner.
She was alone. Sure, she was fed everyday, but she was locked in this
room. Everyday, she sat on the bed. Thinking of nothing or no one, except
Heero. With the two days they had been together, after five years apart, she
was falling in love all over again. Not only that, but she knew he at least felt
something as well. Now, she wanted to be with him. To be in his arms again.
She walks over to the window and looked out into the night sky. It was always
night in space. She started to wonder again. 'Where are you, Heero?'

The door opened suddenly and she turned her head to the him. He
sat down a chair. Silence surrounded the room. Then, he smiled.

"Two more weeks, Relena. In two weeks, all of the earth and colonies
will be mine. Including you."
