Two weeks later the girls looked up as Heero slammed through the door, gasping.
"What the… Heero!"
He ignored them, storming up the stairs.
Bridget looked up the stairs after him. "HEERO!"
With difficultly, he turned. "What?" he grated.
Bridget faced him, eyes hard. "Where are the others?"
"They've been caught… along with their Gundams," he said shortly, going upstairs.
Maggie, Bridget, Julie, and Sally exchanged odd looks before Julie burst into tears.
"Julie, SHUT UP!" She stopped, confused, and looked at Maggie with hesitation.
"Uh… but…"
"We'll get them back," said Bridget with all certainty.
They looked at her.
"Come on, I've got a plan."
Heero looked up in alarm… he heard sounds coming from the training room. With difficulty he said goodbye to Relena and got up, stiffly working his way to the training room. He pushed the door open to see an astonishing sight…. No, Maggie hitting the punching bag was quite common… but Bridget shooting a gun at a target and hitting the bull's eye EVERY TIME wasn't.
"What the…"
"Heero, go away," Maggie hissed between her teeth as she slammed her foot into the wobbling bag, finally knocking it over… and Julie with it.
"Ow!"
"SUCK IT UP, YOU BABY."
"Hey, I'm going to be in a freakin' mobile suit!"
"Logic? From YOU?"
"Shaddup, you guys, we have things to do. Go get ready, you have ten minutes," Bridget ordered.
"But I need to do my HAIR!" wailed Julie.
"Fine. Fifteen. A FAST fifteen minutes."
"OK!"
Heero, curious, followed Bridget out to the phone, where she quickly dialed a number. "Sally? Uh-Huh…. Uh-huh…. right… good… ETA 2 hours. Bye, Sally."
Heero spun away and moved to the arsenal. He heard clicks and peeked around to see Maggie loading a ZMG with accuracy and deadly precision. She had about 5 daggers with black handles hanging from her belt, until they were covered by the trench coat.
"What the HELL is going ON!?"
Maggie turned. "Saving the Gundam pilots and their suits. Why do you want to know?"
"Are you N- well, who's heading this mission?"
"Bridget."
"Bridget."
"Yes."
"This is…"
"I don't need this right now, Yuy."
"I'm going, too."
"Like hell."
"I'm GOING. If you three..."
"Four."
"If you FOUR are going to be fighting, who's going to sneak in and shut down security?"
"M-" Maggie avoided Heero's smug look.
"Besides, who's going to stop me?" he added
"Fine! Come if you have to, but-"
An earth shattering scream yelling her name made Maggie's head snap up.
"SHIT! Heero, you ass, now I'm LATE!" She tore out of the room at a dead run.

Trieze turned to face the Gundam pilots smugly. "Are you enjoying the presence of our spies?" he asked nonchalantly.
Wufei's eyes narrowed, but Quatre spoke up first. "They're not spies."
"And how can you be so sure?" Trieze asked maliciously.
"Well, let's see... one's been making out with Duo so long that they could have done this a LONG time ago," stated Kat matter of factly.
Duo went to open his mouth, but was stopped by Trowa's, "You know it's true, Duo, don't deny it."
"Nope, can't deny it, but at least I've got the balls to get MY girl, unlike YOU three ...and Kamikaze boy," he chuckled.
"Maxwell..." warned Wufei as Trieze though, ~Who can I use against who... the red head has to be with 02.~
"I don't know what you're talking about," tried Wufei.
"I know a secret," sang out Quatre.
"You know NOTHING, Winner!"
"Bridget figures this stuff out..."
"That baka onna? Please."
"Don't call her stupid. She's smarter than YOU, PLUS she's the only one of those girls who won't kick your ass, and you know it!" Kat retorted hotly.
~The sniper is with 04.~ Before they could continue, there was an alarm sounded throughout the compound.
"You're joking," snapped Trieze into his comm, spinning to view the screen of a single mobile suit taking down Oz MS after Oz MS.
"That's my girlfriend! Goooooooo, Julie! Oh yeah, Shinigami's chick is kickin all ya asses!" cried Duo excitedly.
"Yes, Lady Une, come up," said Trieze, ignoring Duo as he switched to hall view to monitor her progress. Suddenly, though, another figure joined Une in the hall.
"Maggie?!" asked the four pilots simultaniously.
"Little girl," Une greeted her.
"Bitch," Maggie returned.
"Oooh, Une's going DOWN. Cat fight! Mrowwwww!"
Trieze and Trowa both glared at Duo, who immediately shut up.
"I owe you for that 'training,' Maggie said sarcastically, sliding off her jacket. Une did the same.
"And I owe you for that escape," Une answered, a split second later leaping for Maggie's throat. Maggie ducked and kicked out, catching Une in the chest and throwing her backwards. They winced as Une's hand shot out, catching Maggie in the stomach and throwing her into the wall. They heard a loud crack, and Trowa swore under his breath.
~Ah. The little one with 03.~
Maggie quickly reoriented herself and stood loose and ready as Une jumped for her again. Maggie sidestepped and kicked Une's knee with sharp precision as she barreled past. The boys in the other room heard a wet :snap: as the kick connected, and Une went down.
"You BITCH," gasped Une, blood pouring from her leg.
"Good girl, Mags," said a voice from the doorway, and the others heard Kat gasp in disbelief, "BRIDGET?!"
"What the… Heero!"
He ignored them, storming up the stairs.
Bridget looked up the stairs after him. "HEERO!"
With difficultly, he turned. "What?" he grated.
Bridget faced him, eyes hard. "Where are the others?"
