Disclaimers: Weiss belong to me? I could only wish. Nope, not mine.


Notes: The fic 'A Name' is not a necessary read for this fic to make sense, but it does give background to some things. I'd recommend checking it out first. Regardless, this fic disregards anything canon that might have happened after the first 25 episodes. That's all I own and have seen, that's all that's being included as background info here.

Summary: When Weiss is disbanded, the vigilantes go back to living their normal lives. The problem is that one of them never had a normal life to begin with.
Warnings: eventual shonen ai. violence. possible OOCness.

"Takatori-san?"

The young man looked up from his desk to see one of the newer techs hovering in his doorway looking uncertain. Pushing a lock of dark hair behind one ear, he arched a brow. "Yes?"

"Um.. We have intruders, sir. Sadora-san gave the order to terminate them, but your bodyguards stopped us. They said you'd want to know about them first."

Well, that certainly got Takatori's attention. Especially given that Abyssian had seen Bombay during the assassin's protective mission a few nights earlier.

They'd been expecting a visit.

How typical of the former Weiss to try and sneak in the back rather than just trust their former employers and walk up to knock at the front door.

He rolled his eyes and sighed. Then, sparing only a glance at the work he'd been trying to get done, he moved to follow the tech down into the control room. Security for the entire facility was headquartered there and he'd be able to see the identities of the intruders for sure.

The man calling himself Takatori Mamoru these days had spent years carefully studying his predecessors mistakes and now he was determined not to repeat them. As such, it was virtually impossible to get in or out of any of Kritiker's properties without being found out. Those who broke in and made it out, only did so on his severance.

Only Bombay had ever slipped past the systems undetected when he'd first tested out the improvements. And even the little computer genius cum assassin had had a damn hard time of it.

The security supervisor was on him before he'd even gotten all the way in the door.

"Good evening, sir. I'm sorry that you had to be disturbed with this but-"

"It's quite all right, Sadora-san. I was about to take a break, anyway." He hadn't been, but the woman could be maniacal in her worry that her boss was in any way bothered or annoyed. It was always best to head her off before she could get worked up. "How many are there? Have the cameras picked them up yet?"

"Three, sir." Her voice was professional again, having lost their slightly frantic edge at his assurances. "They haven't harmed anyone yet. They appear to be after information. That one has spent the last ten minutes trying to hack into the computer system."

The dark haired man watched in mild amusement as the scowling face of Kudou Yoji was pointed out to him. Behind him, Fujimiya looked torn between making snarky remarks about the older man's lack of computer skills or killing him for taking so long. "So, Weiss has returned."

He was disappointed of course. So much effort had been made to keep them out of the life and here they were, throwing it all away for information they could have gotten with a simple phone call to Manx.

"They're looking for their little Kätzchen."

Takatori turned to meet the emerald eyes gazing at him with amusement. He didn't ask the man how he was so sure, just quirked a grin of his own before moving over to one of the computers and politely asking the tech stationed there to move.

For a second he just stared at the screen, wondering at the best way to handle the situation. Hitting upon a solution that would appease the most people- if Weiss handled it right- his fingers flew over the keys.

"What are you doing, sir?" Sadora-san asked.

When he looked up, it was to meet the eyes of his bodyguard and the man's mostly silent shadow. "If it's the Kätzchen they want, then that's exactly what we're going to give them."

"Giving Bombay new orders then?"

With a nod, he stood back up to watch as Fujimiya got fed up and pushed Kudou out of his way. He smiled, knowing that Abyssian wouldn't have near the trouble getting in as his companion had. It was amusing to watch the older of the pair huff in annoyance as the younger made it into the system in minutes.

The intruders had just finished saving the information they'd just found to a disc when the last one appeared towards the corner of the screen. Hidaka was trying to rush them out.

Those in the control room watched them go, the techs and security personnel eyeing their boss oddly. He wasn't usually so docile when it came to such transgressions.

They all breathed a little easier at the unpleasant smile on his face. "Now. Let's see if they can put the puzzle together."
