My Hero, Chapter 3
The door of the apartment opened, and Heero stepped in. Duo looked over the couch, and walked over to him. "Hey, what happened? Did you find the guy?"
"No one was there," Heero said, in his monotone voice.
"Oh, really? Maybe he woke up and split."
"If he was unconscious, he wouldn't have done that."
"Maybe he..." Duo started, but Heero interrupted him.
"He wasn't unconscious. He just made it look like that." Heero walked around Duo, and headed for the living room. "Relena?"
Relena turned around. "Heero! Did you find that guy? Who was it?"
"I didn't find him. He wasn't there."
"Huh?" Relena looked shocked. "How?"
"Are you sure he was out when you left?"
"Yeah...I...he..." She looked at Heero. "He wasn't moving. I...I'm sure..."
"Well, he's gone."
"Gone or not, I'm not going back there until morning."
"You gonna stay here?" Duo asked. Heero gave him a look.
"Well, if it's alright with you, I guess..."
"It's okay with me. Heero, how 'bout you, buddy?"
"Hn," Heero said, as he left the room.
"Well, it looks like it's okay with him," Duo joked. He went to get some blankets for Relena in the closet.

Heero woke up at 8 o'clock to a smell of something great. 'What is that?' he thought, as he got out of bed. He headed for the kitchen, and saw Duo siting at the table, with two plates full of food. One had a stack of pancakes, and the other had eggs, bacon, and sausage.
"Oh, hey Heero! Man, this is great! Who knew Lena could cook!" Duo said, after finishing a fork-full of food.
Relena turned, and greeted Heero. "Good morning! I made some food for you two. It's the least I could do for letting me stay the night."
"I didn't know you cooked," Heero said, as he sat down. 'Hmmm... This does look good.'
"Yeah. But I never get to do it. I'm either busy, or the cooks do it for me."
Heero took a bite of the pancakes, and his eyes lit up. "See? Told you it was great!" Duo exclaimed.
"Hn," was all he said, as he ate some more.
"So, Relena. When are ya going home?"
"I guess after breakfast. I wouldn't want Milliardo to get worried."
"Awww, that's too bad. I guess then Heero will take ya home. Right, Heero?" Duo said, looking at Heero. He gave him a death glare as his answer.

After the three of them finished eating, Heero took Relena home. They were greeted at the door by Zechs and Noin.
"Relena!" Zechs exclaimed. He looked at Heero, then back at his sister. "Where were you?"
"Well. There was someone in my room last night, and..."
"What? Who? How did he get past all the guards?"
"I don't know who it was, or how he got in..."
"Anyone can get in here," Heero interrupted.
Zechs looked back at Heero, glaring at him. "And why do you say that?"
"Because I came here after Relena came to my apartment. It was easy to get in here."
Zechs grunted, and turned back to Relena. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I am," Relena said. "Milliardo, I want better security here. I don't want him coming back."
"Yes, of course." Relena, with Noin, went into the living room. Zechs looked at Heero. "Thank you, Yuy."
"Hn," Heero replied, as he turned and walked out the door.

Later that night, Relena was in her bedroom, checking the windows and balcony door. 'I don't want that guy to come back,' she thought. 'Better make sure everything is locked.'
After that was done, she climbed into bed, and fell asleep. A couple hours later, she awoke to a noise. 'What...?' She sat up in bed, and looked around. She heard he noise, and looked towards the balcony.
In the moonlight, she saw a figure, hunched over the doorknob, trying to pick the locked door. 'Oh, no! It's him!'
