A/N: I didn't get as many reviews for the 2nd chapter than I did with the 1st, so let's see how many this one gets. This may get confusing in this chapter and the next but everything will be explained, and if I don't I meant it to be that way, like why Heero acts the way he does, his story. I'm gonna leave that part to your imagination.
Chapter 3
Preventor Headquarters: 2 years later-Monday
Wu0fei walked up the corridor at such a quick pace, people had to jump out of the way. When he reached Lady Une's office he didn't even knock, but walked right in and slammed the door behind him. Une lifted her head and stared at Wu-fei's intense face.
"Commander Chang?"
He didn't speak but tossed a folder onto her desk. When opened it held documents of shipping loads, profiles and repots for the last year. Une looked up at him with a questioning look.
"They've prepared extensively for this. That's all I've been able to dig up."
Une stood, "Take care of this, I don't care how just do it."
Wu-fei saluted and left her office.
L4
The light streamed through the window onto Relena's half-awake face. She let out a groan of annoyance and pulled the covers up over her head. Suddenly they were flung down to the end of the bed. She let out a small squeal and threw her pillow at her awaker.
Heero caught the pillow and leaned over Relena. "You are the most stubborn person I know. Now get up!"
She squealed again and tried to grab her covers again but this just gave Heero the chance he needed. He picked her up and carried her to the kitchen. As he sat her in a chair she let said, "Hump! Why do I have to be up so early? You work today, not me."
Heero put a cup of coffee in front of her. "I'm not going to work today."
Relena looked at him funny, "Why?"
"We are going to Earth. The Preventors are having problems and need help."
"How would you know this?"
"I hack into their computers once in a while."
"So what's the problem?"
"Wu-fei has found a new group of terrorists. They should declare war against the UESA soon."
Relena jumped up, "What!?"
He nodded, "Now you see why we have to go."
She sighed. "I'm ready."
"Are you sure? You're not done training yet, you know what can happen if you,"
"I know the consequences," she interrupted, "But I'm willing to take the chance. Now, how are we going to get into Preventor Headquarters?"
Heero walked over and pick up his keys. "We're not going to HQ. We're going to the Peacecraft Mansion. It'll make a nice entrance for you."
Peacecraft Mansion-still Monday
"This can't be happening." Noin was sitting at the table eating breakfast when she heard the news. War. Again. She immediately ran to Zechas' office to confirm what the reporter said. He solemnly nodded.
"We're prepared."
"What to you mean?"
"Come one, I'll show you."
He led her over to the wall between the bookcase and the sofa. Zechas placed his hands on the wall and pushed. A panel popped off and Noin saw a door. *Looks sound proof.* Zechas opened the door and they immediately heard the sound of people yelling, tools clanking and machines working. Noin gasp at the hidden stair well. She went down the stair with Zechas and they came to a control room with large windows looking out into a docking bay. Noin ran up to the window and looked down. She couldn't believe what she saw before her. Mobile suits, and......
"Gundams.." Her voice was barely a whisper but Zechas heard her.
"Lady Une knows about them. All the Preventors have been trained to pilot an MS."
"And the Gundams?"
"Duo, Wu-fei, Trowa, and Quatre have agreed to help."
And Heero?"
"We haven't been able to locate him yet, but I'm sure he'll show himself once word gets out about the Gundams."
Noin's eyes filled with hope, "Maybe he'll bring Relena with him. You never could find them."
Zechas scowled at her, "What makes you think she's still with him?"
She smiled, slightly, so as not to upset her husband,(yes they're married) "I don't think, I know. Heero wouldn't let anything happen to her. He's taking care of her, don't you worry about that."
"I'm not worried about her safety. Just her being alone with him."
Noin decided to get off the subject of her sister-in-law and turned her attention back to the scene in front of them. "I can't believe I didn't know this was here. How'd you keep it a secret for this long?"
"This whole underground base is soundproof. I had it built when we rebuilt the mansion. These people live here, in the base. All supplies are brought through tunnels who's entrances are over 30 miles away."
"Wow Zechas, this is amazing. You really are prepared."
He grew grim, "Yeah, but we have a mole working here. Parts of our shipments have been missing, so..."
"So, its a good chance that they also have mobile suits." Noin finished.
"Exactly. Which is why we have to hurry with our work. We've got thousands of little cliches to work out before we let the public know that these suits have been built."
"Well, let's go help!"
Winner Corp.-Monday afternoon on L4
"Heero, why are we here? Don't we have enough money?"
"Of course we have the money, but we need a private shuttle. We don't need people seeing you, not yet."
Relena nodded. It was true. She had enough trouble just going to work. People thought that it was amazing how much she looked like the runaway princess. Of course she always denied it, brushing it off as coincidence. Some believed her, but a few were still suspicious.
Heero led Relena up the stairs to Quatre's office. Once they were outside his door Relena got nervous. No one had seen her for over 2 years. Heero was the only one Quatre saw, never her.
Heero saw her nervousness and put his hand on her waist. She jumped slightly and looked into his eyes. Once he thought she was calm, he opened the door and stepped in. Relena stayed behind him and tried not to be seen.
Quatre, who was sitting at his desk, suddenly jumped up at the sight of his old comrade.. "Heero! What are you doing here!?"
He didn't answer but moved slightly to one side. Quatre caught a glimpse of another person standing behind Heero, but they quickly moved back out of sight.
"Who's your friend Heero?"
Heero tried to move aside again but his "friend" had caught on and moved with him. Quatre laughed as Heero sighed. He turned around and spoke softly with them. Quatre heard them respond back and from what he could decipher it sounded female. He also caught a glance at a piece of honey-blond hair. Quatre gasped as am idea came to him, but he was quickly assured of his hypothesis when he saw Heero lean down and kiss the girl on the top of her head. Before he could regain himself, Heero turned back around and the girl stepped out.
"Hello Quatre."
"Oh God, Relena?"
