Chapter One: Into Thin Air
The second Heero walked into the dinner he knew something wasn't right. Duo had asked him to meet him for lunch, which wasn't altogether strange, Duo really liked to eat. But as soon as he saw the fake smiles and tense eyes he was instantly on guard.
"Hey old buddy, how ya' doing?" Duo called out as soon as he saw who had walked into the dinner. "How's life been treating you?"
Heero sat down next to them (Duo, Hilde, Noin and Milliardo) he didn't buy a piece of this fake cheer that was thinly veiling the tension everyone felt. "Cut the crap Duo, tell me what's wrong before I hurt someone." He didn't like the vibes he was getting of the group, and one detail kept irking him, Relena wasn't there. She always jumped to the occasion to see him since he had left the Preventors for some personal business. Never before had she been absent, and he couldn't help thinking something offal had happened.
They looked at each other for a short while, everyone else sharing worried glances until Duo broke the silence and said, "I don't know how to tell you this old pal but Relena's gone. No struggle no blood. It's like she vanished into thin air. We looked everywhere in her room, and found no note which makes us think she didn't just run away. You know her she wouldn't even consider the possibility. We thought you should know." The dinner was silent. No one spoke, and a few didn't breath. Everyone was waiting to see what the famous Heero Yuy would do next.
"I have to go," he whispered careful not to show any of the many unpredictable emotions swimming around inside of him. "See you later Duo, thanks for telling me." Heero couldn't believe what had happened, but for some strange feelings inside of him told him it wasn't all that it seemed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She couldn't remember when she hadn't been in this place. It was if all the memories of the before time had been wiped away from her mind. She couldn't remember when she hadn't controlled the dreams of man. Couldn't even remember what her name had been, or if she ever had a name to begin with. The only thing she had to remind her she had a life before this place was a pair of deep blue eyes.
The blue eyes haunted her days. Every time she molded the dreams of man she search for any hint of those deep captivating blue eyes. She had this feeling that if she found the eyes she would also find her lost memories. If ever she had memories to start with.
So she kept on searching and searching the dreams around her. Seeking and questing and hunting, never relenting never giving up it became her reason for staying alive and active in the bleak environment of a dreamscape that was her home.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Heero new he had to sleep sometime. 'But did it have to be on the computer screen?' he asked himself for the umpteenth time as he massaged his sore neck. 'I shouldn't have stayed up all night looking for Relena.' The name still brought back painful memories. Her voice, her smile all came back to him overwhelming his mind with sadness. "Why did you have to leave, Relena, your work wasn't finished."
Heero was referring to the peace between the Earth and the space colonies. It had become very iffy after Relena's disappearance. Earth blamed the colonies and the colonies blamed Earth. Both relied on her wisdom and passion to regulate their meetings and peace talks. Without her presence the peace talks and meetings had come to a definite halt.
'We all need you Relena. Me especially, I need your calming presence. Tell me what to do. Tell me what to do. I Need You!' The last was a desperate cry in to the world around him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She was resting her powers when the call came to her. The voice was so familiar it tickled her mind and made her want to remember something that she felt was special to her. But she couldn't answer it until it found it's way into dreams. Then she could answer this desperate call, into the world of the living.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"How is test subject A going, Doctor?" a greasy looking man with short tangled black locks, asked a man in a white lab coat. The man's nametag said only one thing, Boss.
"Good Boss, she isn't showing any signs over her memories coming back, and her control over the mental wave links is improving with every day.' The doctor said in a meek voice. Behind him there was a bed with a honey blonde haired girl lying on it. She looked peaceful tell you noticed she was strapped down and had all types of wires sticking out of her.
"Hm." came a voice from behind them coming from the girl, and men in lab coats came to sedate her once more.
"Does that usually happen Doctor? Or is just a rare occurrence. Tell me it's a rare occurrence Doctor." Boss asked this in a menacing voice likely to make even the toughest man quake in his boots.
"Just a rare occurrence, it usually happens after she has tinkered with a particularly violent dream, nothing to worry about. We have watchers on her 24/7 no need to worry, indeed." He said this with the tiniest shred of confidence her could muster up.
"It had better be Doctor, or you will become test subject B! Good day, Doctor." Then he left, leaving fear and contempt in his pacing.
"Doctor, I didn't want to tell you this while Boss was around, but there was a different reason for TS (test subject) A. Something from other that the mental wave links reached her, and she was trying to answer it. It was almost like she needed to answer it to survive. I don't know what she might cause if something like that should happen again. But let me just say, none of us are going to want to sleep with all the unrest she is shooting out. I think the whole colony might feel it.' He finished with nervousness surrounding the lab. Everyone had heard what he had just said, and were wondering how it could be stopped.
"Do you have any idea why Boss chose her to be his first TS? No? Well it was because her disappearance would cause mass panic and paranoia." He paused here for effect. "The Earth would blame the colonies and the colonies are blaming Earth. It is causing mass panic among the people, all because their precious Dove of Peace. Once everyone is messed up Earth and all the colonies will be easily taken." He finished his speak with a satisfied smile on his face.
Everyone in the lab had admiring looks on their faces in awe of their brilliant leader, Boss. Everyone that is but the girl strapped down on the bed, The Dove of Peace herself. She had a huge frown on her face, as if she realized something that hadn't occurred to her before, had just made itself clear.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You have to sleep, Heero. You wont be any good to Relena dead. I'm sure she would want you to sleep, you need your rest." Duo said to his friend, feeling desperate.
"I don't need any sleep. I need to find her. Don't you see without her there to guide them both Earth and the colonies are a mess?" he finished, still staring hard at the computer screen.
Duo soon left, giving up all together "Nothing can stop him, when he's this determined."
What Duo didn't know was that Heero was truly exhausted. He really did need some sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
He felt himself drifting off. It was almost as if something or someone was pulling him into a state of unconsciousness. Farther and farther until he couldn't tell if his thoughts were waking thoughts or just dreams.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As soon as Heero was fully under he saw that this was no ordinary dream. It seemed like just a regular dream. It was bright and sunny, full of flowers and happy things. It was a bit unusual for Heero though his dreams were mostly filled with dark memories of unhappy times.
The thing that really threw him off, however, was the feeling that he was waiting for something to happen. For someone to see him, almost as if this were just a waiting room.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Note: So tell me what do you think? Oh Please Review. I need the reassurance. Thank you all!
