Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing. I just in enjoy playing God and screwing with their lives.
Dorothy is a bit OOC but it was necessary for the story so I apologize for her and another OOC characters.
Warning: There has been a change in the pairings in this story. It is now Wufei and Zechs instead of Wufei and Sally. Relena and Dorothy is hinted at but I don't plan on going into detail. I apologize to any readers who don't like this pairings.
And now, on with the story...
Explanations
"So we think Relena plans to declare war at this conference." Duo said leaning over Heero to look at the computer screen. "And you want to take her out before she can."
"Correct, I can position myself here," Heero pointed to a large building positioned diagonally from the meeting point, "kill Relena, and escape down the back side of the building before I'm caught."
"What about security? You don't really think they're going to ignore it as a risk do you?" Duo asked.
"Securitys only a problem if I'm seen"
Duo sighed, " And you don't plan on being caught, right Heero"
Heero grinned slightly, " Right "
Duo shook his head, " You know Heero, this attitude would be understandable if you had never been caught, but when you consider that I've seen you caught more than once it's a bit egotistical."
" Not when you consider that the only times I've been caught have been the times I was with you."
An insulted Duo was about to reply when a startled gasp cut him off; "Heero, Duo! When did you get here?"
Duo and Heero turned, both smirking at the sight of Quatre, closely followed by a shirtless Trowa, staring at them. "And where's Wufei?"
"We got here this afternoon and Wufei's outside keeping Zechs company. Apparently it was "unjust of Heero" to invite Zechs here and then demand he wait outside. Me?, I think Wufei wanted an excuse to talk to him."
Quatre laughed at that thought then stopped in confusion, " Why did Heero invite Zechs over and then make him wait outside?"
Duo explained quickly, "Heero invited Zechs over because he felt he should know what was going on, but he wasn't sure if we would feel the same so he didn't tell him anything, he just brought him here. Unfortunately you guys were occupied when he arrived and we couldn't do anything. Predictably, Mr. Perfect solider here couldn't take it and "asked" Zechs to leave so that we could discuss strategy."
"Judging from the mess in here" he gestured towards the pile of printouts on the table, "They must have been outside a while. You should invite them in," here he paused and glanced at Trowa, receiving a nod he continued," and inform him of the current state of things."
"Sure thing Cat, just a sec." standing, he opened the window and yelled, "Wufei, Zechs you can come in now! Quatre and Trowa are finished with their research and managed to convince Heero to let you in!"
Trowa glared at the boys reference to their activities, Quatre just sighed.
Heero chuckled at the exchange and turned to straighten the printouts on the table. His movements were followed by three surprised gazes. They all knew he wasn't emotionless like everyone thought, but still, it was rare to hear the stoic man chuckle.
Zechs walked in and looked around. Seeing that everyone was there he sat down, " So teachers, do I get to find out what this fieldtrip is all about?"
Quatre stepped forward to answer but was cut off by Heero, "We are planning how to assassinate Relena."
Zechs froze, then stood and left his only words, uttered as he left, chilled the room "You can expect opposition."
Quatre sighed, "Always the soldier."
Heero glared, "Meaning?"
"It means you've got no tact Heero," Duo said cheerfully, a broad grin on his face. "You shouldn't tell a guy your going to kill his sister without explaining why. It always ends in an ass kicking." His face grew contemplative, " Usaually the guy doing the telling gets his ass kicked, but somtimes it's the person being told." He shrugged, "it really depends on whether or not they're talking during the fight, i-" He was cut off by Quatre
"You should try explaining before he leaves. Our lives would be easier, and longer, without him as an enemy."
Heero acknowledged this with a nod, and headed towards the door already planning his response in his head.
"Maybe Wufei should do it" Duo said, stopping Heero, "Zechs might listen better."
Wufei looked confused " Why me? It's Yuy's problem"
"That's exactly why he can't. Zechs would think he was lying."
"Then why not Quatre? If anyone would know what to say it's him." Wufei asked, clearly not wanting the mission.
Duo shook his head, "Zechs knows Quatre is an strategist, he wouldn't trust Quatre not to say only what was necessary to convince him."
"And yet he would beleive me?" Wufei said cynically
" I think so" Duo answered clearly serious.
"Why?"
" Because your not the type to cater to anyone. You don't want him as an enemy, so you'll explain what's going on, but you don't need him as an ally either so you won't bend over backwards telling lies or half-truths to make him see it your way. Whatever you say will be the truth."
"Why would he beleive me truthfull when he considers you liars" Wufei said, obviously doubtful.
"Well think about it, Quatre's a strategist and therefore not the most trustworthy in wartimes, Trowa's silent and Zechs doesn't know much about him, Heero just threw any credibility he had out the window and I don't think I could tell him that his own sister has started a war" Duo said, clearly meaning everything he said.
Wufei shook his head, defeated, "Very well Duo, I still doubt your assumptions but if it takes my explaining things to get you to cheer up, please excuse me."
Grinning, Duo stepped out from in front of the door "Whatever it takes Wu-man."
Wufei glared at the boy for the name as he left.
"Guess he doesn't like the name. I'll have to come up with something else." Duo said still grinning.
Once outside Wufei quickly spotted the figure at the end of the yard. He began to walk over, hoping to catch him before he reached the vehicle.
Realizing he probably wouldn't make it Wufei called the boys name hoping he would stop but not really thinking he would.
"What do you want Wufei? Come to prevent me from ruining your plans?"
"I came only to deliver the explination Heero left out."
"But everyone knows that explanations are the best form of restraint." A familiar voice called out, "They can be twisted to fit each person, making them stay, keeping them blissfully unaware that you are using them."
" Wise words from one such as you Dorothy." Wufei said without turning, the tone telling him who it was more than the voice. That sarcastic, mocking voice had followed them throughout the wars, scorning their efforts at peace even as she sought the same thing. "But perhaps you know from expierience," He gave her a bored looked, " That is how Relena caught you is it not? Captivating you with pretty words, showering you with false praise, easing any doubts with explanations."
Dorothys eyes burned with rage and hurt, " You know not of what you speak Dragon! Miss Relena does what she must and I'll not listen to you call her deceitful or disloyal."
" My sister has proven herself to be neither loyal nor truthfull" Zechs broke in, slightly startled at Wufei's allusion. " What proof have you of the contrary?"
Dorothy stared at him coldly, " I need no proof. My faith in Miss Relena is unswerving."
" What proof do you have to show that your loyalty is deserved? " Wufei questioned
" That will be proven with the out come of this war." Dorothy said, sneering at them. " Which is also my reason for being here. I have a message from Miss Relena for all of you."
"Very well" Wufei answered realizing what she wanted "But give me a moment to prepare them. I would hate to see you die before delivering your message" Wufei said heading back towards the house, "Afterwords though I promise nothing"
Dorothy paled slightly at the threat but held her ground, this was for Miss Relena after all. Zechs noticed the change in palor and smirked in response, perhaps he would wait after all, why give up the chance to see Dorothy squirm? Still grining at that thought he grabbed Dorothy and followed Wufei do the door stopping there to wait 'till he was ready. This would be most interesting indeed.
