"But..." Relena sputtered as Noin dragged her out to the waiting limo. "The
conference...I'll be late!"
"It's been postponed." Noin said quietly, "And Quatre really wanted this debate."
Noin opened the door of the limousine and pushed Relena in the back and slid in beside her. Noin closed the door and spoke to the driver,
"Pagen, please take us to the Winner mansion near Kristalmir Lake."
"Very good, Miss. Lucretsia." The impassive driver replied.
"Paa-gen..." Noin pleaded, rolling her eyes. "Please call me "Noin". "Lucretsia" drives me crazy!"
"Oh, so that's why my brother always uses it..." Relena teased. Noin growled and attempted to hide her blush by looking out the window. Relena laughed and settled in for the long drive.

*Huh. Mission accomplished...* Heero sat in his room, looking at the tall display board filled with screens. Each one showed a different room in the Peacecraft mansion. *I should inform Dr. J that I'm finished.*
He pushed himself back in the chair, and put his feet up on his desk. *Hmm... I should tell Noin, too. And Lady Une?...Maybe. I still don't trust her, even if Treize is dead...Or rather, is supposed to be dead...I wonder...*
He sat up and shook himself. He opened his laptop and typed.
The Doctor didn't like to be seen on screen, so all transmissions were typed.
Came the curt answer. *Well. That's J for you.* Heero thought, amused. *He didn't even give me the chance to ask how the Gundams are coming...Huh...Obviously deliberate, probably because of complications...* Heero typed in Noin's code and turned on the video section of the transmitter. He stood and stepped back into shadow. Noin would be able to identify the person she spoke to, but little more.
"Lieutenant."
"Mr. Yuy." Came Noin's cool response as curt image came onto Heero's screen.
"I've finished. You can bring her back." Heero said, coming straight to the point.
"Affirmative. We'll be back soon..." Noin was curt, "And...Mr. Yuy? Look out for her brother."
Heero didn't show it, but he was startled. "Can you give me a reason for the caution?" He asked. Noin looked pained and grimaced. She reached over and shut of the transmission.
*What was that all about? I thought Zechs had gone Pacifist... Hmm...*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Relena was curled up in the back seat of the limo. She was also half- asleep, rocking to the car's movement. *Yawn...That was a good debate. Quatre had a lot of good points. Hmm...The subject matter was not really very important, though. If it had been up to me, I wouldn't have postponed that conference...I wonder how Heero's been...I haven't heard from him for a while...Now, where did that come from?*
~ Why don't you ask Duo if he has Heero's address? He'd be more than glad to give it to you. ~ An annoying voice in the back of her head spoke.
*Huh. Heero would have called if he wanted to talk, and if he wanted my company, he would have simply shown up...* She thought back, skeptically.
~ Really? What if he's scared of you? Would he call then? Or just show up? ~
*Pfffff...Heero, Scared?! You've got to be kidding!* She scoffed back.
"Miss Relena?" Noin's concerned voice broke through her inner conversation. "Are you ok? You've been making the most odd sounds..."
Relena laughed to cover her discomfort. "Oh, it's nothing...I was just laughing at something Quatre said..." (Quatre hadn't said anything funny all day...)
Noin raised an eyebrow. *Hmm...There's definitely something wrong...Alright, time to put Step 2 of Mission Rejuvenation. into motion...*
