I unfortunately don't own the G-boys; if I did I would be much happier, wallowing in money. Nor do I own Catwoman, in any of her forms, which this story is based on. So don't bother suing; I don't have anything, I'm a poor college student people! Unless of course you want a couple blood thirsty dust bunnies….I got plenty of those. Comments are always appreciated….craved actually. REVIEWS! I NEED REVIEWS. Uh…sorry….I'm ok now. So please, review; let me know what you liked, what you didn't, the good, the bad and the ugly basically. However flames will be laughed at, so I wouldn't even bother.

Chapter 1

I woke in a good mood, a rare occasion lately. I don't know why I was so happy today; I just had a feeling that today was going to be a good day. I was giddy…hyper even…and I had yet to have breakfast. Perhaps Duo is wearing off on me? Ha! I shower and get dressed quickly; then I practically skip down to the kitchen where Anna, my cook, was just beginning o prepare breakfast.

"Morning, Anna!" I chirp as get the orange juice out of the fridge and pour myself a glass.

"Good Morning Relena!" Anna said, giving me a warm smile; "You seem to be in a good mood this morning; did something happen that you haven't told me about?"

I smile at the older woman. Anna was a plump middle aged woman, with a round face and a few laugh lines around her eyes; her dark brown eyes were soft and kind, yet there was a strength there that was capable of keeping the house hold in line. "No Anna, I'm not hiding anything from you; I'm just in a good mood for once."

"Are you sure? Nothing about a certain body guard with blue eyes?"

"ANNA!" I yelp, my face growing hot…I knew I was blushing. Anna laughed and placed a plate of French toast in front of me. I loved being around Anna; she was like one of those bizarre aunts that everyone seems to have somewhere in their family, but she was the only one who treated me like I was normal and not like something that was so fragile it would break with even the slightest touch.

"Well if not Mr. Yuy, how 'bout the one with the braid?"

"Duo?" I stutter… "Anna he has someone!"

"Oh? Pity…I liked him. Had a good head on his shoulders and knew how to have fun."

"You call putting a lizard in my bed...fun?"

Anna snickered, "Well…it certainly was amusing watching you chase him around the house threatening to cut off his braid." I blushed again. That had been right after the wars, when we had all taken a brief break before going back to reality. Duo had somehow snuck into my room and put a lizard under my sheets while I was in the shower. So when I got into the bed, half asleep, I didn't notice until the damn thing moved. Scared the shit out of me. I didn't know what the thing was…so I screamed and damn near attached myself to the ceiling. That's when I heard the laughing; and I truly looked at what had spooked me. A lizard…a cute little green lizard about the size of my hand. I wasn't scared of the lizard, he was actually cute. Not that that mattered to Maxwell. While he was collapsed on the floor in laugher, I had calmly gotten up, walked over to my desk, removed my brand new scissors and had advanced on him. Duo had stopped laughing long enough to notice that I stalking him, and to see the scissors in my hand…

"Now...'Lena…don't be rash…" He had said, scooting back on his butt towards the door.

"Rash? I'm not being rash…I'm perfectly calm…" I had replied, smiling sweetly at him. All he had done was swallowed once hard, and then bolt…and I was right on his heels. It had been the most fun I had ever had up to that point. In the end, I think I ended up chopping off about an inch of his braid; to which he promptly tossed me into the pool.

"Yeah…you're right. That was amusing. You know, now that I think about it, I haven't seen Duo in a couple months." I said, suddenly realizing that the last time I had seen the braided menace had been at the Preventer Christmas Party in December….it was now March.

"You and Mr. Yuy are going to the Preventer Head Quarters today aren't you?" Anna asked; I nodded.

"Yeah…Lady Une wants to talk to us about security." I reply, "Why?'

"Doesn't Mr. Maxwell work at the Preventer?" She said; I blinked. Uh Duh. I knew that. Anna smirked as she saw the light bulb finally click on in my head.

The rest of breakfast passed uneventfully; Anna and I talking about random gossip. If it wasn't for Anna and the normalcy that she treated me with, I swear I would have gone crazy. And trust me, it wouldn't be pretty if I did; Quatre can't hold a candle to me.

At exactly eight o'clock, Heero arrived to escort me to our meeting. On the way over, Heero and I talked….or rather, I talked and Heero occasionally grunted. God, I'm going to have to teach that boy some communication skills!

"Relena…" Heero said in that monotone voice of his.

"Yes?"

"Stop talking." He stated as if I was some dog that would shut up when he commanded. I glared at him, "I have every right to talk, Heero." I reply, only to have the Yuy trademark Glare-O'-Death thrown at me. I shut up…I suddenly felt sorry for Duo for having to deal with that glare all the time; though from what I heard, the boy wasn't effected anymore. Wish I was. I may love him to death, but Heero still scared me.

The rest of the trip passed in silence. It seemed like an eternity before we finally reached the Preventers Headquarters building. The vehicle pulled up to the front of the building and let us out; then, silently we walked up the steps and into the lobby. Headquarters, or HQ, was like any large public building; the lobby was large, their foot steps seemed to echo unusually loud as they strolled over to the counter with confidence.

"Heero Yuy and Vice Foreign Minister Peacecraft here to see Commander Une." Heero stated before I could even open my mouth. How I wanted to snarl at him, and tell him that I could speak for myself. But, again, I didn't….I was royalty, and didn't behave like that.

The man at the counter paged us through the doors and told us Une was expecting us, and where to find her. As if we didn't already know, it's not as if we had never been to HQ before. A few minutes later, we are on the fifth floor where the offices are located. Immediately Heero walks over to the main counter and states again that they were there to see Lady Une. The woman confirms it, tells Heero where the Commander is and says that she would like to see Heero first before the Vice Foreign Minister came in.

"Stay here." Heero commanded, then walked off. I bit the side of my cheek to keep from snapping at him. It would not be lady like.

"I see he's still as infuriating as ever, hey 'Lena?" A voice behind me asked. I turned around; and immediately my face broke out in an enormous real smile;

"Duo!" I said, walking over to him and wrapping my arms around him in a hug, "How have you been, it's been so long since I last saw you."

Duo gave me a dazzling smile, "I've been good, busy and all…." I took the chance while he was talking to get a good look at him. He didn't seem to change all that much; he was a bit taller now, his hair a bit shorter, his shoulders and arms looked like they ever a bit more defined, his black uniform seemed to cling in all the right places.

"Lena?"

I jumped, suddenly realizing that Duo had stopped talking and was watching me now, a cocky smirk on his face. I felt my face grow warm;

"Hai?" I reply, I know that by now I am blushing furiously.

"You seemed to zone out there for a minute…you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine…you just look different for some reason…I was trying to figure out why…" I mutter under my breath. Duo chuckled,

"Hmmm…so I have Vice Foreign Minister Peacecraft, checking me out, heh?" he asked, his voice full of laughter. I frowned, as he used my title, there was something in his voice that sounded almost bitter when he had said my title. And for some reason, it bothered me greatly, that Duo of all people, would call me by my title…even when it was just in jest.

"Lena?" Duo asked again, "What's wrong?"

"I wish you wouldn't call me that…I get it enough from the rest of the world, I don't need to be called by a damned title by one of the only people I consider to be my friend." I said softly under my breath; it shocked me that I had actually said something that wasn't 'proper'. Duo blinked, then he smiled sheepishly;

"Uh…sorry 'bout that…I was just messin' with ya…I didn't know it bugged you like that."

"No, it's alright. I'm just stressed; things have been very busy and yet very tedious lately. I'm just irritable." I said, smiling sweetly at him. Duo however gave me only a small smile in return, his violet gaze studying me.

"Maxwell," Another voice called, "Are you goofing off again?" A slightly shorter, dark haired Chinese youth came around the corner, who I quickly realized was Wufei. I blinked a couple times…at least I thought it was Wufei. The voice was his…the frame was right….yet his hair was down…

"What? Do I have something on me?" Wufei asked, as he came to stand next to Duo.

"Baka, she's never seen you with your hair down." Duo said, grinning mischievously.

"And she wouldn't be seeing it now, if you hadn't broken my tie!" Wufei snapped, glaring at the braided boy.

"I offered to let you use one of mine…." Duo said. Wufei glared;

"Come now, Wufei," I said, smiling at the bickering of the partners, "You don't look bad at all with your hair down…actually rather cute."

I instantly regretted opening my mouth. Wufei's eyes bulged and he seemed to have a suddenly coughing fit. Duo was making bizarre sounds and had his fit pressed against his lips. What in the… Suddenly, Duo couldn't hold it in any more and began laughing; which seemed to break Wufei of whatever stupor he had been in…

"I AM NOT CUTE, ONNA!" Wufei bellowed; the offices were silent for a moment, before snickering could be heard throughout the room. Wufei glared around the room; his cheeks were a very nice shade of pink. I felt the corner of my mouth twitch….I wasn't going to laugh…I wasn't going to laugh…

"Awww….Wu-bear…you know you look adorable with that blush…" Duo said, his voice sickingly sweet. With a snarl Wufei turned and lunged at his partner, who nimbly dodged the attack and went racing down the hall calling out; "Later 'Lena" over his shoulder; a furious Wufei close on his heels. I couldn't hold it in any longer; I laughed along with a couple other people and watched as the two boys ran down the hall; instinctively other Preventers lifted items, or moved things as the boy flew by, all without even looking up from their work. Iguess that this happened quite often; never a dull moment around here.
