"Hurry. The Neo Queen will have heard of this and will rush over here." She told them as she stepped further back into the shadows, which seemed to engulf her body, making her disappear just as mysteriously as she appeared. "I wish you good luck. You'll find what you need in the lab." Then she was gone, the shadow from which she disappeared in fading slowly.

"That was one strange babe." Duo mumbled as Wufei looked at him with a puzzled look as he walked up to the other two Gundam pilots and gazed into their eyes, finding a silent explanation that read: 'follow us.'

Jack and the other guys from the band walked up to the two with stiffness in their limbs, showing how tense they were about all this. Why, and better yet how, did they know their friend? A lot of people knew Heero, but not personally like them unless someone really was obsessed.

"Tell us," Jack commanded. "Just who the hell are you?"

"Yeah," Yuka added just as strongly, her slightly bulky muscles rippling under the fishnet sleeves she sported. "And how do you know Heero, other than that---Relena." She demanded of the group. At first, she was really tempted to call Relena a wench, but of course, with her bodyguards here, that wouldn't go over nice. If she didn't catch herself, she was glad that they were all in a hospital. 'More people for the rooms, nurse!' She mocked in her mind silently.

Rob noticed how the more Asian looking one shrugged slightly as he fumbled for something in his pocket. "You want to know?" The teenager questioned, getting a glare and a slight nod of the head from everyone in the band of Blackfire.

The other's, not including Relena, reached for something in their wallets or pockets. They all pulled out the same laminated card, a photo and weird code on it with sector number, classification, name, and other identification necessities.

Wufei flashed his in front of a startled Rob as he read the company's name on it. "We are from the Preventers." The other's showed cards similar, only with different photo's on theirs.

"So? Why are you after Heero? What's he done to you people?!" Yuka blew up in their faces, making the people blink in awe and shock at her immense vocal range. How she could scream like that, made them understand just how talented you had to be for vocals in a rock band.

"He hasn't done anything to us, more like him being—" Duo was about to begin, but was crudely inturrupted by a irritated Wufei.

"Shut up woman!" Wufei yelled right back with the immense force behind it. "What he's trying to say is that Heero Yuy isn't a rock star, he isn't the Neo Queen's son and he doesn't like you, but her!" He emphasized his point by jabbing an index finger at Relena Peacecraft who blinked at this. He told them so…bluntly.

No one seemed to breath and Yuka felt tears rise up in her eyes. 'Who are these people?!' Her mind raged in an angry warpath mode. "What do you mean?" She snarled lowly through clenched teeth as she tried to control herself by not attacking al of them. It seemed the girls in the band looked the same way, daring them to do that to their friend again.

"He's one of us," Duo sighed heavily, moving a hand through his chestnut bangs. "He's a Preventer." He pulled out the card that Heero had left in his office before never coming back from wherever he left to go. "See?" He let them see the cobalt eyes gazing at the photographer.

In the photograph was none other than Heero Yuy.
