Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Shonen ai, language, OOC, angst, crazy Relena
Disclaimers: I make no money, so suing is pointless. If you think I own GW, then you need to see someone. I have the number to a nice doctor... Oh, SALLY!
A/N: This chapter was inspired by Bush's song, "Machine Head" from their 'The Science of Things' CD. I thought it was a perfectly Heero song, thank you. There has also been a bit of a revamp of the last parts of the fic. Instead of giving every pilot a chance to remark on the experience with Relena and Doro, only Duo, Heero, and Q will go. Wufei and Trowa are mostly there to... I dunno, offer backup and keep the girls alive. So, there are only two more chapters after this one and the epilogue. I'm almost done!
Dedication: To Ame-chan, for your lovely reviews in my mailbox every time I update, and for starting the Drabble-fest on my ML. That made it very hard for me to escape finishing this fic. So, this one is for you, lady!
April 24th, AC 195... 01:34:52
While the other pilots are currently somewhere on Peacemillion with Duo's odd friends, I am somewhere in southern France. I believe the nearest city is Lyon, and as things stand now, I am quite content to stay here and monitor not only Relena and Dorothy's progress, but also that of the rest of the Earth Sphere. Our mission was a success, in so much that it can be called that. Relena is in position for what I have planned, and the others are satisfied with what occurred as well.
Our day consisted of waking up, eating, and discussing the order in which we would talk to the girls in. In the end, Trowa and Wufei escorted their lovers inside and kept the girls alive until I had my last say with Relena Peacecraft-Darlian. I did so, and left.
I suppose that I should be a bit more... forthcoming with the details, so I will try my utmost best to reconstruct what happened. We had no sooner decided that Quatre and Trowa would go first than Relena's pink limo showed up on my laptop's sensors. Quickly we prepared our things for the confrontation, and stood waiting for the arrival of our targets.
We could hear them bickering ten feet away from the cabin door. "Relena, relax. If we get there five seconds later, I'm pretty sure that Heero isn't going to... spontaneously combust, or something silly like that," Dorothy said.
"You don't understand, Dorothy! If I'm even a second late, Heero will leave me. I just know it," Relena whined, and for a split second, I considered it. Instead, I stood my ground and restrained myself from grabbing my gun from my pants' waistband. "I'm going first, Catalonia."
"Whatever, Relena, just go," Dorothy shot back, and I almost felt pity for her, but that wasn't in my training, and I was running on nothing but on the fact that the pink girl was my enemy and had to be eliminated. A bang on the door sounded, followed closely by the sound of Relena's whimpers.
"You didn't have to push me."
"I didn't push you. I nearly lost my balance. I'm sorry you were in my way."
Then the door opened, and the nightmare of being around that... creature began. She opened her mouth, and happily, Dorothy elbowed her in the ribs, her face contorting into an interesting mixture of pleasure and utter confusion as she looked around to see five Gundam pilots instead of the two promised.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The very sound of her screech made the blood in my veins freeze, despite the warm, inviting atmosphere of the cabin. I never even noticed that I had reached for my gun until Trowa had a hand upon my own and was shaking his head. I dropped my hand and glared at Relena.
Quatre was the first one to respond, and his face was as nearest to Zero System usage as it had ever been since that incident. "Hello, Miss Relena. Dorothy. Please, come in and sit down," he said in the oddest voice that was nearly hollow but pleasant nonetheless. They sat as commanded, both a bit too shocked to say anything about why we were all gathered. Quatre continued with the introduction. "Good. Now, this is what is going to happen. Each of us has something to say to at least one of you." His eyes stopped to glare openly at Dorothy, and she nodded, the fear evident in her eyes. She's smarter than Relena.
"Heero?" Relena asked, and my stomach lurched. Just looking at her made me ill, and I couldn't stand to be in the same room as her anymore. I grabbed my laptop up from the table, took my jacket off the hook by the door, and stepped into the cooler air. I felt better as I let the cold, brisk wind wash over me. I was only vaguely aware of the door opening behind me, and I wasn't aware that I had company outside until I looked over and saw Duo trying to crawl into Wufei's jacket with him.
I was stunned to see Duo stick his tongue out quickly at me before turning his face back into Wufei's chest. The sight did something to me, but it also saddened me as I watched the two of them exchange soft words and cling to one another in the cold for warmth. Turning away from them, I buried myself into watching out for any unwanted company.
Twenty minutes later, Quatre appeared out of the cabin, smiling warmly and seeming very relaxed. I watched him in fascination as he moved to stand between Duo, Wufei, and myself.
"Er, Q, what happened?" Duo asked.
"Nothing really. I just told them both what I thought, and well, when Dorothy said something out of line... I, uh, kind of... Well, let's just say that it was a good idea that Trowa was with me," he said. And for some reason, I was thankful that Trowa was there as well. But, I must admit, I was, and still am, confused over the sudden changes in his attitude.
"Status?" I asked. I wanted to make sure I would still have a target to deal with after Quatre came out.
"They're alive and awaiting the next 'visitors', as the case may be. Trowa's waiting for Duo and Wufei to come in before he leaves."
"Thanks for leaving them alive, and I promise not to do anything drastic myself. Got 'Feifei here to keep me in line," Duo responded before laughing as he looked at Wufei. "Dun like that new name?"
"No," Wufei snapped, making his way to the cabin, and holding the door open for Duo as well. Before the American made his way inside, he exchanged some sort of secret look with Quatre that had the blond cackling like a madman until Trowa appeared a few seconds later.
"Dare I ask?" Trowa asked.
"Oh, nothing, Trowa. Just... Duo's got this new nickname for Wufei, and I think with the way he pronounced it, he just called him 'Fat Fat'," Quatre said after composing himself.
"Really?" I added.
Quatre nodded. What a strange thing for Duo to call his lover. I have noticed, just in idle watching, that there is nothing 'fat' or even a bit overweight about Chang. In fact, he is in as good of shape as Trowa or myself. He practices a lot to keep himself in that form. Why would Duo call him that?
A sudden beep caught my attention and Trowa came to stand next to me. "What is it, Heero?"
"A news van," I said, flipping through the five surveillance cameras we had set up in the area.
"Probably trying to find where Relena Peacecraft went, and why she's in the middle of the Himalayas," Quatre said with a disgusted scoff.
"No doubt," Trowa replied.
Carefully, I reached into my jacket pocket, pulled out the detonator, and set off the initial charges that would send a small avalanche to bury the van and it's crew under. The silence was deafening before a dull roar sounded approximately two hundred yards below us, and effectively covering the vehicle in a few heavy sheets of ice and snow. I smiled to myself in satisfaction as I nodded to both of my companions.
Unexpectedly, Relena's screech carried from the cabin out to where we stood. "You wouldn't dare," was all we could hear before she was silent once more. Judging from the agitation and fear in her voice, Shinigami was barely being held in check. She's not quite that stupid, it seems.
"What did you do to them?" I finally asked the two out with me.
"Nothing really," Quatre said, sounding very blasé. "Relena started by trying to appeal to... the sanest of all of us. I then calmly informed her that I was the pilot that went berserk and tried to blow up the colonies. Dorothy stayed quiet, but I already had her in mind when we set this up. I basically challenged her again, and when she couldn't come up with an adequate weapon, I told her what I really thought of her. I think she took offense when I called her insane, and she tried to jump me so she could beat me with her hands. I got her in the stomach, hard, and she fell back onto the couch. I wanted to do more, but Trowa stopped me, and I settled on just humiliating Relena by telling her exactly how things happened, thanks to her meddling. I was rather polite, considering. Wasn't I, Trowa?"
I looked at my only real friend and he shook his head behind his boyfriend. I inwardly smirked and nodded at Quatre. "Understood," I said, going quiet as the cabin door opened and Duo and Wufei breezed out.
"Okay, 'Ro, you're up. Don't make too much of a mess," Duo joked with a rather wide smile. Perhaps he knows me better than I even know myself, because I had planned on just shooting her and maybe Dorothy too.
I nodded at him as well, giving my laptop to Trowa to monitor and headed inside to face the girl who started most of this mess.
As soon as I had the door open, Relena was screeching my name and trying to get to me. Luckily, Dorothy was holding her back. I don't really know what I would have done had she actually touched me. As things stood, I calmly pulled out my gun. "Shut the fuck up," was all I said.
"But, Heero. You will never believe what those... animals did to Dorothy and I. First, Winner attacked Dorothy. And then, Maxwell and his crazy boyfriend attacked me," she said, trying to sound pitiful but only succeeding in making me nauseous.
"Didn't I say shut up, you stupid girl? I'm sick of you incessantly stalking me and interrupting what I do. You're a liability, and why I haven't killed you yet is a mystery. In fact, just looking at you makes me sick," I said, wondering where I had acquired the sudden burst of verbosity. The fact that Relena and Dorothy were shocked was another point in my corner.
I let that sink in while I cocked the hammer of my gun. "I think I would have saved everyone a lot of trouble if I had just killed you the first time you saw my face, but you called the authorities, and I had to run. You should really be thankful to Duo for the very fact that you are alive right now. And because you are still alive now, I will let you linger with the thought that not only did he save your worthless life not once, but twice, and he wasn't any sort of obstacle until after you interfered."
As I smirked, I uncocked the hammer of my gun and turned the safety back on. Then, I made my way to Dorothy. "You should watch who you make an enemy, or you may end up like that waste there," I said with a sneer. Relena jumping up and smacking me so hard that my head snapped back ruined my triumph. I glared at her, and she broke into tears.
"You don't mean it. You can't mean it. We're destined to be together," she sobbed, repeating it over and over like a mantra. Instead of hitting her back, I stalked out of the cabin and back to where the other pilots stood. I ignored the looks they were giving me and retrieved my laptop from Trowa.
"We are done here," I said, making a move to leave. I could hear both Duo and Quatre hiss as they saw my left cheek, which stung worse as the cold air touched it.
"Um, Heero," Quatre started, but it only took a cold look to him for silence to take over again.
Wufei shoved Duo forward, and the American glared back at him before looking at me. . "Er, 'Ro, Howie invited us all back to..."
"No," I interrupted. "Thank you, but no. I'd rather not." While I had come to terms with their relationship and the fact that I would never have Duo now that I wanted him, I didn't want it rubbed in my face. I closed my laptop with a small inward smirk and walked quickly back to Wing Zero. The less time I spent with the others the better off I would be. That was my thought at the time, but for some reason now it sounds like an excuse so I wouldn't be pained.
When I was sure that we had all taken off, I set off the last charges that would effectively bury the cabin in about twenty feet of snow. I was finally freed from Relena, but my moment of celebration was stopped as I received a transmission from Duo, who was smiling.
"Think it was big enough, 'Ro?"
"No. It was adequate for the situation," I responded, cutting the link and headed west for France.
I've been here since about ten pm local time, and it's nearly two-thirty am local time. I require rest. I have already informed J, and he said that he approves of the way things were handled, and he even managed to sound a bit sorry for the fact I was smacked by a girl. How he of all people managed that in an email, I have no idea. Even thinking about it is enough to give me a headache.
So, for now, I will sleep. I will update the situation in a few days. Until then, good night.
