Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing. I just enjoy fucking up their lives.



I apologize ahead of time for any OOC contained in this chapter. It wasn't intentional.

Warning: I did make Katherine seem like something of an overprotective bitch. Sorry!

And now, on with the show.

The meeting

The meeting place set up by Quatre was one of the older Winner houses. With only one bedroom, a kitchen, and living room it was definitely the smallest. Built for Quatre alone it was meant as a retreat from a house full of sisters. It also doubled nicely as a safe house. Inside Quatre's bedroom Trowa and he were going over some data. "So it really is Relina behind all this" Trowa said.

Quatre nodded mouth tightening at the mention of the girls name, "yes, I would have said so in the letter, but she hasn't publicly declared war yet and I thought it better not to worry Katherine.

Trowa smiled slightly, "you know me well."

"Even Heero would have known you'd show the letter to Katherine, and even if you hadn't she would have found a way to get it."

Trowa smirked again "She is a bit protective"

"A bit! I practically had to swear on oath we weren't going to do anything illegal every time you came to visit!"

Trowa wrapped and arm around Quatre amused at his frustration, " not everytime."

Quatre returned the embrace " well she did ask to know well she did ask to know exactly what we were going to do"

"Maybe you shouldn't have wed quite so many details" Trowa said both of them smiling at the memory.

"What do you mean your leaving again?" Katherine asked as she watched Trowa pack. "You just got back."

I've been here a month, Katherine, and I told you I'd be traveling a lot when I agreed to live here."

"Well, tell me where you're going at least"

Trowa grabbed his bag and began to walk away as he answered, " to visit Quatre."

"Again! What do you two do that requires so much time?"

"Why don't you ask him yourself?" he said walking up to the waiting blond and kissing him softly.

"Ask me what" Quatre asked, noticing how tense his lover was.

"I want to know exactly what you two are going to do."

Quatre sighed, not this again every time it was the same what are you doing, where will you be, what day will you be back. Screw it; the girl obviously wanted the truth so why not tell her. Besides he thought, a rather evil smile crossing his face her reaction might be fun. "You really want to know?"

A sharp nod was her only response

"Well first we're going too.

"Any other questions?"

Katherine shook her head dazedly.

"Until next time then, good evening" Quatre said, walking off with an impatient Trowa. "By the way" he said looking back, "don't call us on the shuttle, we'll be very busy in the boys room"

Trowa's eyes grew round. In the bathroom!

"As I recall we sat politely in our seats the whole trip. "Trowa said head lowering to Quatre's.

"That part was for shock value only."

"Well what about number six then?" he asked, brushing his lips against the others

"Number six?" his mind was clouding with passion.

"Mhm" Trowa whispered something in the boy's ear "we never did try it"

Quatre blushed as he remembered what he had told Katherine "you don't really wan." all thoughts were lost as Trowa kissed him roughly. His arms encircled the boy's waist as Trowa's hands tangled themselves in his hair. Their lips grinded together again and again, tongues dueling for dominance, as their hands wandered, pulling up shirts to caress heated skin. Any thoughts of war and strategy were forgotten as they became lost in each other, seeking the pleasure found only in each other's arms.

"Your sure this is the right place Wufei?" Duo asked as they drove up to the small house.

"Positive Duo, he had it built himself. It was meant as a retreat from his sisters"

"And it just happens to be in the middle of a colony nobody visits, built inside an artificial desert nobody in their right mind would cross?"

"Neither he nor I ever claimed that was all it would be used for."

Duo smirked walking up to the door "He took the, "if they don't ask, why tell them" standpoint then"

Wufei returned the smile, opening the door, " Why tell them more than they need to know? People are more easily fooled when kept ignorant."

Their discussion was interrupted by a low whine coming from the direction of the bedroom. "I guess that means Quatre and Trowa kept busy. Whacha wanna do until their available for discussion?"

"I had planned to do some research on Relina later tonight, but I think now is a better time."

"Quatre probably has all the information you could ever want already collected and filed away neatly in a little box."

"Yes, but I don't see us getting to it anytime soon. Besides, Quatre has studied those files night and day no doubt. It is likely that he has overlooked something we might more easily spot. I would also like to look at the social customs of the places she has visited. Something she's seen has made her want power and we may be able to guess her plans if we what magnitude of power she longs for."

"How do you plan to find out everyplace she's visited this past year? Everyday she's somewhere else, it's impossible to keep track of."

"I've been receiving monthly reports on her movements. Before I left I compiled a list of countries to research."

"Why did you want to get reports, I mean it's the preventers job to stop wars not ours. We just fight in them."

"It goes against my nature to let someone else take care of something I feel strongly. Another war is one of those things."

"I see what you mean, I certainly didn't want another war."

"None of us did."

The two boys swung around startled. "Heero! Your la.."Duo was startled into silence when he saw Heero's companion. Though the sight of Heero in tight jeans and t-shirt might have contributed.

"Zech's" Wufei said clearly surprised, "what are you doing here?"

"I told him we were meeting," Heero said his voice deliberate, "but not why. I though we should do that together."

Wufei, who was still staring a Zech's, missed the implications of those words, but Duo understood. Heero thought Zech's should know, but was letting the others decide for themselves. If they agreed Zech's could be told, if not they could send him away, none the wiser. "That's all well and good but you could still have warned us."

"What fun would that be?" Heero asked glancing around "where are Quatre and Trowa?"

"In the bedroom" Duo said, unfazed by Heero's joke. He had learned long ago that the Japanese boy possessed a sense of humor. It just usually came out a bit warped. "Been there since before we got here."

"I guess it'll be awhile then." Heero smirked heading out the door again. "I could use some help with the equipment Quatre requested"

"Sure thing Heero" Duo said running after him, "Oh and Wufei? Could you fix some food, I'm starving!"

Wufei stood up, shaking his head. That boy was always hungry.

"Is that a no?"

Wufei glared at the arrogant man beside him, refusing to answer as he began to prepare a stew.

"I take it you aren't much of one for conversation?"

"Hn" Wufei said, stealing Heero's conversation killer. He was in no mood to talk to a questionable guest.

Zech's sighed, he recognized the noise. It was one of the few responses he had managed to get out of Heero concerning this meeting. Wufei obviously wasn't willing to talk either.
