Quatre's eyes grew large at her accusation. "Miss, I assure you I am no-" "Listen," Alexis interuppted, "I know you're trying to be nice and sweet since I was abducted by some crazed lunatic with a gun, and yeah thanks and all but I really want to get out of here and now if you don't mind.." Alexis stood up but in the doorway was a tall brown haired man. His hair swept over his left eye yet you could see the electricity in his other, brightly shining towards you. "I'm sorry. But you can't do that." he said, as though he'd heard every word. "Watch me.." she growled, preparing to push him out of the way, but behind him stood Heero.
"Come back for my other arm?" Alexis asked, rolling her eyes and retreating to the bed she'd been sitting on. Heero walked in and dropped a pile of papers onto her lap. "Care to explain all of this?" "No?" Heero brought his hand back, as though to strike her but Quatre stepped in. "Please, let's not fight. She's been through enough hasn't she Heero?" Heero grunted and picked up a paper before Alexis could stop him. "So.. your name is.. Maremaia Barton??" his voice almost
broke in disbelief and she smirked. "Not really as bright as you make out to be are you?" Heero narrowed his eyes and by this time, the braided haired man was back, along with an oriental man with short black hair, staring through the doorway. "Answer me.. who are you?" Heero tried again asking. Alexis just shook her head. "Sorry.. but I don't and won't answer to you.. Heero Yuy." Everyone in the room's eyes grew wide as Alexis stood up. "It's a shame I know all of you.. but not
a one of you know me. A damned shame...." and with that, she looked out the window a second and then threw her shoulder through the glass, falling down the two stories to the grass below.
Cries of shock could be heard as she fell and once she reached the ground, she tucked her legs under and rolled a couple feet before standing up and bolting towards the edge of Quatre's property. She looked back with a smirk and as soon as she did, her victorious feeling fell and was soon replaced with fear as Heero had followed her. Straight out the window. Quatre and the others were following, trying to catch Heero, who was in hot pursuit of Alexis.
"Heero!! Look!" Quatre cried as Heero shifted his gaze up only millimeters to see a missle fired, heading towards the city where the mobile suit had been uncovered. Alexis stopped for a moment and almost fell as she stared at the missle above her head. "Get down!" Heero yelled as he tackled her and held her to the ground as the missle hit target. A deafening boom was heard and the very ground beneath the two of them shook. A moment later, a fiery blast of air was felt, surging out from the impact site and Heero rolled off of Alexis's back and stood up, looking back to his comrades. Quatre seemed a little shaken, Wufei and Trowa were indifferent as they stood and Duo rushed up to the two of them. "Hey down there, feeling alright? Might not want to jump out a window next time they're going to blow the hell out of that doll you were so interested in." Alexis rolled onto her back and sat up, one knee was drawn to her chest as she looked up at Duo and Heero. Before she could speak, the other three came towards them and Wufei was the first to break the silence. "Maybe you should have left her tied up Quatre.. women and their independent streaks..." he muttered as Quatre tried to help up Alexis but with little luck as she shook away his
hand and stared towards the spot targeted by that mysterious missle. "Quatre.. you've lied." she said, standing up and brushing her jeans off from the dirt and grass. "Duo.. your jokes aren't funny. Wufei.. shut the living hell up. And Heero? Why is my information so damn important to you?" With that, she stood up and walked back towards the house as Quatre's manganacs rushed outdoors to see if he was alright.
The men stood and looked at each other after Alexis walked away and Heero turned to follow her. "Why are you even trying man. She hates you!" Duo said, examining his braid to make sure not a single hair was out of place or singed. "She just might tell me what I need to know.. or maybe she won't. I won't know until I try." With that, he walked off, following Alexis's footsteps. "Nobody ever said he was the brightest suicidal maniac.." Duo muttered, heading back towards the
house. "No use staying out here when the girl's going back on her own." Trowa shook his head. "She needs to gain trust in us before she'll do anything.." To this, Quatre nodded. "I should have been more truthful.. especially once she knew I was lying." Wufei walked back in silence, stunned that a woman said such things to him and almost ashamed that he couldn't do a thing about it either.
"Are you in there?" Heero asked, his voice withdraw and worn. After hearing papers rustling, he opened the door to see Alexis, sitting with her papers scattered everywhere and glass shards littering the floor. "Why did you try and run away?" he asked, standing in front of her as she leafed through a small stack of paperwork. "Could be because I need my laptop.. amongst other things. Freedom is a nice luxury you know." she said sourly. "I have your laptop. It's in my room. Very well protected.. but not completely secured. So... Alexis Curie Xalias.. what is it you're doing with those papers?" At that, Heero and Alexis locked eyes and waited...
