A/N: Sorry that this chapter is so unbelievably short, but I've had so many exams, and I've got more in two weeks, that I haven't actually had much time to continue with Heero's new weakness. I'm going to try and write more soon when my exams are finally over. Seriously, these stupid exams are child abuse! Lol. . . 'adults' really underestimate our intelligence don't you think?

Oh, and no-one's actually beta read this chapter yet, so there are probably loads of mistakes in it, but as soon as my beta reader has read it, I'll upload the corrected version. . . and perhaps add a bit more. Anyway, bye for now! Thanks for all your reviews!

Hera could do nothing but stand there, and practically die from shock. How the hell could this be happening? Of all the nights Dr. J could have chosen to call, tonight? That was just too weird. Maybe he had been spying on her for some time, and chose tonight as the best night to 'meet' her.

She tried to glance at Tori, and luckily she was just about able to move her neck without breaking it. He looked as shocked as Hera did, if not more.

What were they going to do? What would happen? Would he send his men out to kill her? Or would he rather do it himself and witness the killing of the famous Hera Yuy? Or maybe she would be victorious, and finally be able to tell her dear brother who she really was... maybe it would all be over… all the anguish… the training… and the fighting would be over… maybe…

Tori couldn't believe his ears. Who else would have exactly the same drone and ear splitting tone of voice other than Dr. J? Just hearing his voice sent a chill down your spine. Of all the scenarios that he had thought about, of their next meeting, this was the least likely. One of the finest days of his life, and he had to spoil it. But that was just like him though. He loved spoiling people's fun. Perhaps he had been keeping an eye on them all this time, and decided that this was the best time to do it. Right in front of Heero Yuy… the day just kept on getting better and better…

"What is the nature of your call Dr?" Asked Heero, almost politely, after all, he had taught everything that Heero needed to know about defending himself in war, and how to control the Gundam's.

"Oh, just wondering how you were doing, that's all. I heard you have some guests with you. Are they still here? I am rather curious." He asked, his eyes glinting mischievously.

Heero looked at him inquiringly. How did he know that Hera and Tori were here? That was strange. No, that couldn't mean anything, he was just being his usual paranoid self.

"Yes, there are in fact some people here that came to… visit." He replied in monotone.

"Well?" Asked Dr. J apprehensively. "Aren't you going to introduce me to them?" He asked, a little irritated.

Heero nodded. Deciding not to ask any more questions in case he got even more annoyed. He knew how bad Dr. J's tantrums could be.

He glanced at Hera and then Tori, and signalled with his hand that they come over.

If Hera's heart were still beating in her chest somewhere, then now, literally, it would have dropped to the floor from shock. What was she to do? She could hardly think… her fear of Dr. J was consuming her. She didn't even know the real reason he was coming after her. It would have been useful if she knew, because then she could have tried to fix whatever she, or her brother, had done to annoy him so much.

Heero turned back around indicating that she should come over more aggressively.

If only he knew. Maybe all this would be much easier. Maybe he could have helped her fight him off… no, she couldn't possibly drag him into all of this.

She tried to signal to Heero that she didn't want to come in some way, but it didn't seem possible without drawing attention to herself. She was practically standing in the middle of the room. Curse her luck.

With nothing left to do, she glanced gloomily over at Tori. Maybe he would comfort her in some way…

But to her surprise, he looked almost relieved . . . behind the fire blazing in his eyes.

He saw Hera, and held her gaze.

A few moments later, as if they were able to understand each other's thoughts, they nodded. They were ready to face him. After eleven years. Finally. If there ever was a time for this, it was now. Everything needed to be out in the open. They all needed to know. . . even Heero.

Hera broadened her shoulders, and stood up defiantly. She closed her eyes briefly, and let out one shallow breath of. . . what was it?

Relief. She hadn't felt relief in a long time. . . it felt good to be back. . . well, almost. . . with one last look at Tori, she began walking towards the laptop. It was now of never.

At least Tori were here. A sudden wave of Euphoria washed over her. Everything would be okay if Tori were there! He would make it all alright. . . eventually.
