Disclaimer: I sadly don't own Cyborg 009 sighs and pouts

003 sat up in bed. She just couldn't get to sleep. Sighing, she leaned back against the head board. The odd feeling she had last night returned. A feeling like something was coming, or about to happen. It came back, but stronger. Her head began to ache. She climbed out of bed, pulled on a robe and started for the kitchen. She jerked open a bottle of aspirin and filled a glass with water. Suddenly she felt a presence, and turned nervously around. When she saw who it was she exhaled with relief.

"What are you doing up this late?" 009 asked curiously.

"Taking some aspirin. I have a headache, and I can't sleep."

"Why can't you sleep?" he asked as she turned back to the to the two pills on the counter.

"I don't know," she dropped them in her mouth and drained the cup of water. "I do have some idea about my minor insomnia though."

"What's that?" he sat down at the table.

"Well, I just have this feeling that something strange is about to take place." she pulled out a chair and joined him.

"Me too actually, and everyone else."

"Everyone?"

"Yes, can't you tell? They are all on edge. Even 005, who is usually the calmest one."

"Yeah, he has been a bit agitated lately. Is this why you're up too?"

"No. I just woke up and was thirsty." 003 gave a sly smile and raised an eyebrow.

"You saw me pass by your doorway didn't you?"

"Well...yeah, but I wasn't lying about being thirsty." 003 giggled softly and rose from her chair. She went over to the sink and came back with a full glass of water. She walked over next to him and set it down in front of him.

"Merci" he thanked her. She smiled tiredly and gently squeezed his shoulder, before leaving the kitchen. When she entered her room she tossed the robe on a chair and collapsed on the bed. The medicine began to take effect, making her drowsy. With a heavy sigh she felt her every muscle relax as sleep took her.

"003 wake up" 009 shook her slightly. He didn't like having to wake her up, when she was so tired last night. "003, someone is here to see you. I told him you were asleep, but he just kept insisting and won't shut up." 003 lifted her self up from lying on her side, her eyes half closed.

"Wha? Who's here? she asked sleepily.

"I don't know. He says his name's Pierre" Her eyes opened all the way and she sat bolt up right.

"Pierre?! How is that possible!?"

"Don't ask me. I don't know him." 009 shrugged. 003 looked up at him nervously.

"He was my old boyfriend." she told him. 009 was suddenly more concerned than he was before, and (he had to admit) a little jealous. He started asking questions in his head.

'Who's Pierre?"

'Does she still like him?'

'Why in the world is he here?'

"009?" he averted his attention back to 003.

"What?"

"Go tell him I'll be right there."

"Alright" he put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly out of the room. 003 immediately shut the door behind him and began to dress.

"Where is Françoise?" Pierre demanded, as 009 reappeared in the living room. He rolled his eyes and slumped down on a couch.

"She's awake, and coming. Keep your shirt on." Pierre crossed his arms and glared at 009. Dr. Gilmore shuffled in carrying a half awake 001. When he saw Pierre he stopped and looked at 009, confused.

"This is Pierre Dr. Gilmore. He came to visit ...Françoise."

"Welcome. Are you related to Françoise?" Dr. Gilmore asked.

"No my last name is Aston, not Arnoul."

"So you are a friend of hers?" Pierre shook his head and grinned.

"More than that. I am her boyfriend." he announced proudly, looking sternly at 009, who crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

"You were my boyfriend." 003 stood in the doorway, hands on her hips. Pierre sauntered over to her.

"There you are darling! And what do you mean were?" he frowned and tried to look as pitiful as possible. "I want to make a fresh start Françoise." he said, taking her hand. She recoiled and turned around him. He kept advancing towards her, until she was backed against the wall.

"Get away from me you creep!" she screamed. He smacked her across the face and she fell silent. 009 ran and seized Pierre by the arms, jerking him away from Françoise. He punched him in the jaw. Pierre tried to swing at him but was far too slow. 003 didn't even bother to break up the fight, neither did Dr. Gilmore. 004 ran in the room to find out what the ruckus was. Seeing the two the quickly pulled 009 off of Pierre.

"Get out." he ordered. Pierre slowly got up clutching his stomach where 009 had hit him...hard. He headed towards the door, and 009 and 003 followed him with their eyes.

"You will be mine again, dearest, in more ways than one." Pierre said, and exited closing the door with a soft click. 003 sank to the floor against the wall and cried. 009 knelt down in front of her and cupped his hand around her face.

"Shhhh it's ok" he soothed, even thought she made no sound. Her tears were silent, and that pained him more than a sob.

"Now you see why I left him." she said faintly, never looking at him. She was still staring at the door. 009 continued to gaze at her. Fresh tears fell every now and then, making small wet streaks across her face. It was like that for a while. Finally, she sighed heavily and closed her eyes saying:

"He's gone."

"He left a few minutes ago." Dr. Gilmore said. 003 shook her head.

"Pierre was sitting on the porch, maybe waiting for someone to come out and see if he'd left or not. I bet he was hoping I would, but fortunately I don't need to get up and open the door to see him." 009 nodded in agreement. 003 collapsed against 009, her hands curled up against her chest, and he wrapped his arms around her. He rocked her back and forth slightly and stroked her hair. He never wanted the embrace to end, but he knew it should or she might wonder...or would she?

"Why did you come out to see him if you knew he was violent?" he asked.

"I didn't think he would act that way. I thought he would be all nice and charming in front of you and Dr. Gilmore, like he was the day I met him." 009, regretfully, pushed her up gently to face him. He whipped away the teary residue off of her pretty face.

"He won't be coming back." he told her. She hugged him in thanks. "You must be hungry after just waking up. Come on." He helped her up and they walked to the kitchen. Dr. Gilmore watched them go.

'I really should check her face where he struck her...ah she'll be fine.' he thought. He looked down at the infant in his arms.

"She'll be fine."...
