Disclaimer: I don't know for sure who owns Weiss Kreuz, but I don't.
Timeline: Alternate session two.
Rating: PG-13
Chapter: 2/?
Pairings: NagixOmi, in later chapters bits of SchuxYohji
Summary: Omi and Nagi get to know each other better
Warnings: AU. A lot. If you like Kritiker and dislike the idea of Weiss as freelance assassins you probably shouldn't read this. Maybe OOC, that depends on how the story will evolve. I think you'll notice it's m/m slash soon enough. But is there any WK romance that isn't slash?
Author's note: If you would like your ship in the fic, then write it in your review and I'll see if I can fit them in the story. But I can't promise anything, there are some characters I just can't write IC. I don't have a beta reader, so you read this at your own risk, if you get a headache from my mistakes (native German) don't blame me :-)
Author's note 2: If you send me feedback you'll make me very happy.

Chapter 2
A month later both assassin groups were fully back in business.
Unknown to them their respective youngest members had regular contact.
In fact, they chatted and mailed each other daily by now, even when their
missions led them out of Tokyo they stayed in touch thanks to their laptops.
-- Now talking in #7thPitchOfHell
Bombay: Prodigy, I have some questions.
Prodigy: Hi to you too, sunshine. I'll answer them if I can, but no promises…
Bombay: Course. What's your name?
Prodigy: You know it already. At the very least you'll have an idea who I am. But I don't want to ruin what we have.
Bombay: Me neither. Yeah, I guess it's best when we leave things the way they are. You mentioned in our first conversation that your neighbours hated you because you're "different". Since we pretend not to know each other my next question is what you mean with that.
Prodigy: I'm afraid I can't tell you anything about that.
*Bombay is a bit hurt
Bombay: Please? You know that I won't hate you for it
Prodigy: Gomen, I don't intend to hurt your feelings, Bombay. But until now we were just two teenage assassins and hackers. If I tell you about this kind of stuff… I'll be another time the freak and you the normal one.
Bombay: I believe we've established already that neither of us is completely normal. I had an unhappy life so far, you had an unhappy life so far, why not tell each other about "this kind of stuff" as well?
Prodigy: You don't know what it means to have people hating you for something that you're born with, something you never wanted
Bombay: Oh, I've experienced prejudices because of my heritage more often than you could believe. After all my new family is hating and fighting the family I was born into, the man I believed to be my father…
Prodigy: I'm born with telekinetic powers.
*Prodigy hides
Bombay: Which I for my part think is pretty cool! I'd die for super powers, for being no longer an ordinary boy and in the eyes of my team mates the weakest link of the chain…
Prodigy: As a psychic you can only be happy in the company of other psychics. Don't get me wrong, you can have one or two "normal" friends, but it's extremely hard to find people who neither become your friend in spite of nor for your super powers. Most people see in you freaks, lab rats and weapons, they don't even consider that these "animals" just maybe happen to have feelings just like them. :-c You have no idea how much it hurts. So at some point you'll just be tired of all the rejections, prejudices, hate and fear and you stop trying to befriend with normal people. Only by chance you can make still human friends, like we did. And I doubt that you'd have met with me a second time if I'd told you from the beginning what I am.
Bombay: :-&
Bombay: I'm so sorry for what you'd to go through, I never knew! I promise I won't ever treat you like this!
Prodigy: Not your fault, tom-cat.
Bombay: imho these people are total bastards and they don't deserve you as friend. Nobody should've treated you like that, it's just plain wrong. When did it start?
Prodigy: When I was still a kid, hadn't had any training, it's near impossible to hide my abilities. For example if my glass fell from the table and I wanted it not to ruin the carpet it wouldn't, if I didn't wanted another kid to fall they would float back into a standing position. The other kids beat me pretty often up and then I just wanted them to be hurt twice as badly as they hurt me. It worked.
Bombay: And…?
Prodigy: And though they didn't had many brain cells at their disposal they learned at some point. Some would mock me till I'd exhausted myself and then the rest would come to beat me up. I was at that point too tired to defend myself with telekinesis.
Bombay: That's awful! I'm really sorry, I should've never brought this topic up, but I didn't knew that it would tear so many wounds open.
Prodigy: You couldn't have possibly known. And besides, talking about your problems is supposed to help, isn't it? Frankly, you're the only person I can talk to about my past. If I talk with my team mates, we only end all up wallowing in self-pity and feel afterwards even worse than before.
Bombay: I wish I could change your past.
Prodigy: Nobody can, I've come to terms with it. Humanity just isn't a very tolerant race. I have to admit, though, that it made me crack a bit
Bombay: *g*
Prodigy: No kidding! I want take revenge on the world and I couldn't care less about how I hurt my victims, they wouldn't have shown me any mercy either and at least it's a way to survive.
Bombay: I can understand.
Prodigy: You won't tell me to go and see a psychiatrist?
Bombay: *chuckles* No, I won't. Since you're such honest with me I guess you deserve that I tell you the full truth.
Prodigy: !:-t So you did decide that you don't want anything to do with me after all. I didn't expected anything else.
Bombay: Damn you, Prodigy, why are you always assuming the worst?!
Prodigy: Because nobody ever gave me a reason not to! Fuck you, Bombay!
Bombay: Stop it, Prodigy! I won't let you provoke me just so you can have your opinion about mankind once again confirmed. It's terribly what happened to you in the past but you must understand that I don't plan to treat you that way. I want to be your friend and you have to do a bit more than to irritate me to make my determination waver!
Bombay: BTW, I promised you I'd tell you something. First another question.
Prodigy: *scowls* What, are we playing 20 questions tonight and why didn't anyone told me?!
Bombay: Give up already, it won't work because I have to endure daily much worse. Are you homophobic?
Prodigy: *laughs* Hello, I'm not even human, what do you think?
Bombay: That's what I don't know. Your inner workings are still a mystery to me.
Prodigy: Silly, of course not. I belong myself to a minority, I'd to be a big hypocrite to have prejudices against other minorities.
Bombay: Good, cause I've fallen in love with you. Suku da, Prodigy.
Prodigy: You shouldn't be making jokes about such serious things, Bombay.
Bombay: I'm not kidding.
*Bombay looks fearfully at Prodigy and blushes
Prodigy: Are you really meaning that?
Bombay. Yeah, of course, otherwise I wouldn't risk that you break our contact off!
Bombay: Wait, don't answer, just forget that I ever said anything!
Prodigy: *blush* Suku da, Bombay-chan.
Bombay: No kidding?
Prodigy: No kidding!
Bombay: I never dared to hope that you would return my feelings
Prodigy: So did I. Goodness, tom-cat, how I wish we could meet in real life…
Bombay: Me too, but we can't.
Prodigy: I know, still it's nice to daydream.
Prodigy: Gods, I have to sound so girlish!
Bombay. Don't worry, you can't take people to account who're in love.
Prodigy: I only hope that I'll never have to face you on the battlefield. I don't think that I would be capable of really hurting you.
Bombay: A bit of sparring would be fun because at least then we could meet in real life, but more I couldn't bear. I could never forgive myself if you're hurt.
Prodigy: I don't think you would get an opportunity to hurt me seriously, tom-cat, seeing as I have telekinesis and you not…! ;-))
* Bombay pokes Progeny in the side and sticks his tongue out at him
Prodigy: *rotfl* You're being soooo mature, Bombay!
Bombay: Because I'm older than you!
Prodigy: Ow, that's below the belt!
Bombay: It's supposed to!
Prodigy: *g* I didn't thought you could be so evil, tom-cat! I'm having a whole world of new respect for you!
Bombay: You bet! ;-)
-- Now talking in #7thPitchOfHell
Bombay: *sigh* I'm missing you so badly, Prodigy.
Prodigy: You don't even know me in RL. But I'm also missing you. I wish I could see you, I wish I could at least listen to your voice now and then.
Bombay: Who knows? Maybe you do every so often and just don't know it's me?
Prodigy: Trust me, I would know.
Bombay: Are you sure we can't meet at all, only once? I mean, no one would have to find out and we could meet at some neutral place, like a restaurant or a park. It drives me crazy to know that you're in the same city and I can't even call you.
Prodigy: You know that we wouldn't leave it at one meeting. Once we've met we'll want to meet again even more and sooner or later someone will find out. It's already now a dangerous game, one of my friends is a telepath and the other really good with divination, I wouldn't be surprised if they're keeping me under constant surveillance and know already everything there is to know about us.
Bombay: That doesn't makes it any easier.
Prodigy: At least you don't have to shield your thoughts all the time…
Bombay: Oops, my boss is coming. Love you!
