Well, I don't own any of these characters. It would be nice too though.
So here comes a second chapter. I guess people are being "scared off" a)because they don't know what Burn Up W! is and b)because it isn't really an Usagi centered fic. But I believe there are entirely too many fics starring Usagi and that's part of the reason I write mainly Mako-chan centered fics.
I do appreciate the ones of you who did review and because there is even a bit of interest I will continue this story.
Enjoy!
"Maki, you said that Usagi jumped into the first network she came into contact with?" Makoto asked.
"That's right," the chief of Warrior replied.
"That doesn't make sense though," Lilika said. "Nobody looks at virtual idols from a giant robot. They'd be using a PC, in which case Usagi should have downloaded into that computer. There's no way she could have distinguished between the two systems."
"Then that means somebody connected to Usagi through the gundam," Makoto said slowly, looking straight at the messy haired boy with midnight eyes.
"I'm not into that," Heero said firmly. "But I have an idea of who might have been in there.and when I find out for sure I'm going to kill them for touching my gundam."
"That's a start anyway," Maki said. "Maybe if we can figure out exactly how she got in there we can figure a way to get her out." She tapped her foot on the floor for a moment. "Makoto, I want you to go interview this possible suspect; Lilika, keep working on putting some kind of trace on that thing; Rio and Yuji, I want you to go to find out the status on Usagi's body. Maybe if it's close to being done we can get her to come out."
After everyone saluted in acknowledgement of their orders, Makoto turned to Heero. "I assume you know where I can find this suspect?"
He nodded.
"Good. Can you tell me directions?"
"I could," Heero said, shrugging. "But I think it would be better if I just took you there."
"Why?"
"You'll see soon enough." With that, he turned and left the Warrior office, Makoto following close behind. Once in the parking lot, he opened the passenger door of his car. "Get in."
"Excuse me?"
"We don't want to attract the attention a police car would bring. Got it?"
"Ok, ok." she grumbled, climbing into the car.
Heero went around to the other side and climbed into the driver's seat. Pulling out of the parking lot, he headed down the highway.
"So where are we going?" Makoto asked.
"Ever heard of the Winner Corporation?"
"Who hasn't? They're only the richest family in town. But what does that have to do with anything?"
"All of us, the other pilots and myself, we live with Quatre Winner."
Her jaw dropped. "You mean that.mansion..?"
He nodded.
She was still in shock 20 minutes later when they pulled up to the Winner mansion. She was shaken out of her daze though, but some last minute advice.
"I'll warn you now.watch your step once you go in."
"Huh?"
Heero shrugged and headed inside. "Just thought I'd warn you."
Frowning, Makoto followed him inside. It didn't take her long to figure out what he'd been referring too.
"HEERO!" exclaimed a young man with a long braid of brown hair. "You brought home a stripper?" He laughed. "I would never have guessed!"
"Excuse me, but I am not a stripper. See this?" Makoto marched over to this new person and produced her police badge. "You will address me as officer or I make your life miserable. Do we understand each other?"
The young man gulped. "P..perfectly."
"Good." She turned back to Heero. "And where do I find this suspect?"
Heero pointed a finger at the young man with the braid. "Duo Maxwell."
Makoto grimaced. "Well, Mr. Maxwell.looks like you have some explaining to do."
"Explaining?"
"I have reason to believe that you are the cause for Usagi downloading into Gundam Wing Zero. If you'll show me to a den, or some similar room, we can proceed with the questioning," she said, pushing him out of the room.
An hour later, she followed Duo out from the upstairs library. As they made their way into the kitchen, she spotted Heero. "Heero, it isn't Duo."
"Are you sure?"
Makoto nodded. "Positive. I can always tell when someone's lying and he wasn't. It had to be somebody else. How many other people are living here?"
"Two other's besides Quatre and us. Chang Wufei and Trowa Barton, neither of whom are likely suspects. Wufei thinks women are weak and Trowa keeps to himself. As for Quatre, he never pries into anybody's things. Besides, Duo's the only one stupid enough to go mess around in my gundam."
"I resent that Heero," Duo said, grabbing a bag of chips out of a cabinet.
"Well somebody had to do it," Makoto said.
"Do what onna?"
Makoto turned to see a young man who appeared to be of Chinese origin leaning against the doorframe of the kitchen. "You didn't just call me onna.."
"I did. Onna's are weak and have no place administering justice," he said, glancing briefly at her uniform.
"Well Mr. Chang.I am correct am I not?"
"What of it?"
"I'm serious. You call me onna or weak again and life will not be pleasant for you."
Wufei snorted and turned his back on her, heading out the door.
Not to be ignored, Makoto pulled out her gun and followed him, pressing it to the back of his head. "Now let's understand each other Mr. Chang.you don't insult me, I don't kill you ok?"
"Fine," he hissed.
She slipped her gun back into place. She turned to go back to the kitchen, to see both Heero and Duo standing in the doorway. "What?"
Duo grinned. "Well done," he said applauding.
"MAXWELL!" growled Wufei.
Makoto put a hand to her forehead. She wasn't in the mood to listen to another argument. "Thank god that Usagi doesn't have a temper like this," she said to Heero.
Before he could form any kind of response, Wufei gave a sharp retort of his own. "Of course she doesn't. That's what makes Usagi Usagi."
Makoto gave a slight smirk. "Oh really now Mr. Chang? And what would you know about Usagi?"
Wufei suddenly turned red and bolted, only to be tackled seconds later by a furious Heero Yuy.
"What did you do to my gundam?"
Wufei said nothing, just glared in stony silence.
Just then there was the sound of a phone ringing. Makoto dug out her cell phone and answered. "Hello, Officer Kino here..Hey Rio, what's up?.....That's great! Where is it now?.....Uhuh..she what?.....Damn..Well, thanks for the info. Talk later." Makoto hung up the phone. "That was Rio Heero. She said Lilika was able to track Zero. It's in a place called St. Louis, a city in America. Anyway, it seems Usagi was in a party mood and tried to limbo under something called the St. Louis Arch. Needless to say it's now a wreck."
"Liar.I refuse to believe that this is Usagi's doing. She is not destructive," Wufei said angrily.
"I thought onna's were weak," Makoto said.
Wufei opened his mouth to say something, but promptly shut it again.
"It was you in my gundam Wufei.don't lie to me."
"So what if I was? I couldn't use my own. Maxwell messed my networking system up last time I caught him playing around in Nataku."
"Do you have any idea what you've done Mr. Chang?" Makoto asked. "Because of you, Usagi is now running rampant in a giant..weapon!"
"How was I supposed to know she'd go do something like that?"
"Well.I don't suppose you could for sure, but geez!" she exclaimed. "It would've been a lot easier to catch her if she wasn't in Zero."
"Blame me."
"It is your fault Wufei," Heero said bluntly.
They were interrupted by a sudden outburst of laughter. "I'm sorry you guys..but thought of Wu-man hanging out with cyber chics.." Duo laughed some more. "Wu-man's weak, Wu-man's weak!" he taunted.
"IN JUSTICE! I am not weak.I am merely acting out the normal human male role."
"Oh brother," Makoto said. "I didn't come here to question anybody's manliness and frankly I don't care. Now then, that said, Mr. Chang, you will need to come into the Warrior office tomorrow and speak to our computer expert Lilika. It's possible we can use you to get to Usagi."
"Oh, alright," Wufei frowned. "But only because it is just that I make amends..even though it's not my fault," he said under his breath.
"Good. We'll expect you at 9 am sharp. If you don't come, I'll come over here and drag you over by your ponytail personally. Now, if you'll excuse me I have work to do back at the station."
"Come over any time," Duo said, grinning.
"Idiot," Wufei mumbled, which promptly turned into a name calling match.
"Come on," Heero said. "I'll give you a ride back."
"You don't have to you know."
He shrugged. "Let's just call it a thanks for your work."
"If you say so," she said, following him out to his car.
