"We've been expecting you, both of you…"
Oh damn, we're done for, I thought, this guy doesn't look like he'll stand for much messing. However, to my complete and utter astonishment, as soon as we were seated in a black saloon car, he turned around. "I'm Zechs Marquise, pleased to meet you." We both sat there, blinking slightly at the sudden change of attitude in the tall blond-haired man, I think my mouth might have been hanging open slightly.
Ok, secret agents are meant to be prepared for anything, but
one thing I have never ever experienced, is a supposed "bad guy" being nice to
you. "Just what the hell do you want?" Heero asked, gripping my arm tightly,
almost as though he were trying to protect me. Hmm, I'll have to talk to him
about that sometime soon, I can look after myself.
The man nodded his head in a fashion that almost suggested a bow, "You are very sharp, my supervisors did well to choose you. I am from the Russian secret service, sent here by agent 01, lady Une. Now gentlemen, let's go."

"Here's where you'll be staying for the next three weeks while you help us to uncover just what is going on behind the scenes of our government."
I looked around, not bothering to conceal my pleasure at the large living room, large bedroom and even larger bathroom. "Hey this is great!" I exclaimed cheerfully to Zechs, Heero said nothing, merely giving it a customary glance before dumping our suitcase on the thick carpet. "Of course my lady, nothing but the best for our foreign visitors."
"Uhm," I glanced at Heero, unsure about what to say, after all, I wasn't exactly female. "Well…uh…uhm." Ok, not the most intelligent thing to say right? Well, if you said yes, you would be correct.
I saw Zechs to the front door and thanked him again, barely remembering my manners; I was still to enthralled with the apartment. As I was about to shut the door I was shocked to find me hand suddenly being kissed, Zechs had half bowed again, and kissed my hand. "Will you meet me for coffee later Helen?"
I opened and shut my mouth like a fish before saying, "No."
The electric blue eyes darkened slightly. "Why not?" I pointed behind me, "I have Heero."
"Ah, I see."
With that he turned on his heel and stalked away, slamming
his car door before driving off. I think he's slightly cross, wonder why?
As I shut the door and turned around two dark blue eyes confronted me. "What did he want?"
"What Zechs?"
"Yes."
"Uh, well, he wanted me to go out for coffee with him." The blue eyes darkened slightly, "But I said no!" I resumed quickly, before Heero could raise any objections. The eyes softened again, "Good."
I smiled in relief, before a though occurred to me. "Heero?"
"What? He said, sliding his arms around my waist and bringing me in for a warm comforting hug.
"If Zechs had been sent to get us, and is part of the secret service, surely he would know I wasn't female." (Yes I still had the horrible dress on.) I felt him stiffen as my words sunk in, suddenly he cursed loudly.
"DAMN!!!!!"
"Heero!" I said shocked, I'd never heard him use bad language before, it was kind of shocking.
He let go of me and began pacing up and down angrily, "We could be anywhere now, why did I trust him? ME!! I'm meant to be the best agent there is, and I trusted him!"
"Uh hello? You're not the only one."
"You're not the best agent there is, you're not meant to be perfect."
That really annoyed me, I don't know why, it just did, as he turned I stuck my foot out and tripped him up, sending him sprawling onto the carpet so he landed on his back. Leaning over him, I glared down. "Number one," I hissed, my voice coming out hard, "no one is perfect, not even you and number two, just because I'm not the best agent there is, doesn't mean I'm completely useless and allowed to make mistakes, got it?"
He grinned up at me, "Wow, I never thought you could get angry Duo." I shrugged slightly at that, "Sure I can, I was angry when Quatre shot you, I'm always angry at Relena, sticking me in a skirt. Even I can get angry Heero."
**********
I was up until one in the morning that night, trying to find some information on Zechs Marquise, using Heero's laptop while he slept I tried every source I could think of, no one had heard of him. By the time it got to three o'clock I was on a caffeine high, not liking coffee I had opted for the next best thing. Cola.
It was about four that I found what I was looking for, hacking into the Russian secret services main computer system, I looked up this so called man. What I found there, made me even more depressed than I already was. Not only was Zechs Marquise one of the best agents, he was Relena's brother. I groaned out loud, "Great, you lose one Peacecraft and find another, I hate life sometimes."
"What are you muttering about Duo?" Heero asked sleepily from the bed.
"Nothing Hee-chan, go back to sleep."
However when I next looked around I saw him propped up on one elbow, staring with wide eyes at the pile of cola bottles on the floor. "How many of those did you drink?" He asked, "And where did you get them from?"
"What? Oh the cola, I brought it from the local store while you was asleep."
He stood up and walked over, standing behind me, chin resting on my shoulder. "Ah, good, Zech is the real thing."
I barely heard him however, as my eyes rolled up into the back of my head, the caffeine high, finally giving out.
I know how to hurt,
And I know how to heal,
I know what to show,
And what to conceal.
I know when to talk,
And I know when to touch,
One last today,
From wanting to much…
The world is not enough,
But it is such a perfect place to start my love,
And if you're strong enough,
Together we can take the world apart my love,
People like us,
Know how to survive,
There's no point in living,
If you can't feel alive,
We know when to kiss,
And we know when to kill,
If we can't have it all,
Then nobody will…
The world is not enough,
But it is such a perfect place to start my love,
And if you're strong enough,
Together we can take the world apart, my love…
I feel safe, I feel scared,
I feel ready, and yet unprepared,
The world is not enough,
But it is such a perfect place to start my love,
And if you're strong enough,
Together we can take the world apart my love…
The world is not enough,
The world is not enough,
The world is not enough…
