Warnings: violence, cursing

Disclaimer: not mine

**Alright, the first chapter mentions that Heero was a gundam pilot and that where were four others, the four others are not the normal four (duo, quatre, trowa wufei) they were other people, cause I'm using the 'gundam' boys as other characters in the story. So basically Heero is the only one in THIS story from the series "Gundam Wing" who was a gundam pilot in the past. The others were not. Alright, I hope that's not to confusing. **

Thank you Xeros, Kanaloas Wrath, and LadyDragonWolfKnight for reviewing so far.

----------------------------------------------

The bus left at 8:00 on the dot the next morning. Two trainees had not made it on yet, they could be seen running for the bus as it pulled out of the parking lot.

"Keep going, they missed their chance, we'll let them sweat it out a while before we send someone to get them." Said lieutenant Michaels.

There were about 17 trainees on the bus, all of whom were quietly staring out the windows. I couldn't understand it. Whenever I had been in a bus before it was always filled with talking, laughing and yelling. What should make this time any different? Sure we were going someplace we didn't know, to be doing things we had never done, and to probably hate. But why would that mean that no one was talking. Lieutenant Michaels wasn't scary, or even intimidating, and no one told us we couldn't talk. I decided to stop thinking about the silence and stared out the window instead.

We were in the bus for about an hour before it pulled into a very long driveway leading to what appeared to be a large farm. There was a large house at the end of the driveway. Dirt roads connected to the driveway a lead to other buildings on the property. Not to far away was a building that looked like a barn, but there was no smell of animals, and none to be seen, so it obviously wasn't used as one. Other smaller buildings were spread out over the large property, I'm sure many were even hidden from sight.

The bus stopped in front of the large building and everyone got out. Commander Blake was standing outside, waiting to greet us.

"Hello, and welcome to The Farm. This will be your home for the next two months while we train you for your future in the CIA." He looked at me when he said the next part, "whatever it may be." /nice way to tell everyone I'm not here for the same thing they are!/ One of the trainees, a woman with reddish brown hair and piercing green, eyes looked in my direction for a second, before turning her attention back to commander Blake. /hmm…she's a quick one, she'll either be someone to become allies with, or someone to watch out for./ "Now, you can all head over to the building that looks like a barn, that is the residential building, Lieutenant Michaels will show to where you'll be staying. You can unload and relax until dinner. Tomorrow starts the training, so make sure to get a goods night sleep tonight." When he had finished his 'speech' he turned around and walked back into the large house-building.

We followed Lieutenant Michaels to the barn and through the doors, up the stairs and to the left, where he opened the door to a somewhat large room with two rows of beds lining the walls.

After we had all walked into the room Lieutenant Michaels, still standing at the door, said "Pick a bed and unload." And then turned and closed the door behind him, leaving us to find a bed and wait till dinner. I picked the bed on the left side right under a window and two beds over from the door. I didn't have any competition for it. The two beds that seemed to be the most popular were the two farthest from the door.

The woman trainee from before came over and took the bed to my left and started to unpack. It took me only a few minutes to unpack, as I had only backed the bare necessities: socks, underwear, boots, 2 pairs of pants, gym shorts, three tanks, 2 short sleeves, one long sleeve and one sweater, along with a flashlight, toothbrush toothpaste, etc. After everything was away I stretched out on the bed and started to read my copy of "The Art of the Steal" by Frank Abagnale. It was a book about fraud and how to recognize it. I already knew most of the stuff in it but it was interesting to read anyway.

"What are you reading?" the woman said to me, so had finished packing and was now sitting on the edge of her bed.

"The Art of the Steal"

"Oh….is it good?'"

"Hn"

"I'm Relena, what's your name?"

"Heero"

"It is very nice to meet you Heero"

"Hn"

"Well, I'll let you get back to your book" She got up and walked over to another woman trainee a few bed away who had scary, V-shaped eyebrows and long blond hair.

The bed to my right was taken a little while later by a guy with unusual bangs; they completely covered one of his green eyes from view. He, like me, brought very little with him and it only took him a minute or two to put everything away. When he was finished he stretched out on his bed and closed his eyes. The room was buzzing with the trainees excited chattering. Only a few refrained from taking part in the chattering, they were either reading like me or trying to sleep like my neighbor.

An hour later a young man with a trainees uniform walked into the room. "I am here to show you to the dinning hall. If you would please follow me, dinner is being served." He didn't even wait for us to get off our beds before he turned and started walking out the door. The trainees were all quiet again as we made our way to dinner.

"You will all be sitting at the same table. I will show you where it is." He said once we had reached the dinning hall. It wasn't a large dinning hall, maybe about the size of a high school gym. Tables were lined into six rows with four tables in each row. Just about all the tables were full of trainees, some with the regular forest green jump suit, and others with a yellow band on the arm, they most likely held some higher rank than the rest. Our guide lead us to an empty table on the left side in the corner.

"This will be your table for all meals. Meals are served three times a day for an hour each. The first is at 0600, the next at 1200 and the last at 1800. If you miss a meal you have to wait until the next is being served to get anything. Does everyone understand?" everyone nodded, "Good." And with that he left and joined his own table on the other side of the dinning hall.

I picked a seat on the edge. It was easer to get away if anything should happen and it prevented me from being squished between two people. The guy who took the bed to my right took the seat next to me, and the girl who called herself Relena took the seat directly across from me and the scary eyebrow girl took the seat next to her.

"Hey!" Relena said to the two of us.

"Hn" we both replied. She frowned at that.

"Gosh, you guys don't like to talk do you?" she paused, probably expecting an answer, but neither of us felt inclined to give her one. "Hey Dorothy, what do ya suppose is the reason they won't talk to us?" she asked to the scary eyebrow girl next to her.

"I donno, maybe you scared them. You do have a way of doing that Lena." They both giggled at that.

"Ya, your right Dor." She then looked back in my and my silent companions direction, "so, where ya guys from?" Why couldn't she just leave us alone, couldn't she see we weren't in a talking mood? Neither of us answered her again.

"Oh, come on, Heero, I know you talk cause you did before" /yeah briefly/ "why don't you want to talk to us? We're going to be your partners so your gonna have to talk to and trust us, and the only way to trust is to know your partner!" she said smiling, she knew she had said the truth. "So common, tell us who your friend is" that was easier said than done, considering I had no clue who he was, luckily he realized the situation and decided he wasn't a mute.

"I'm Trowa" he said flatly, obviously not enjoying having to talk.

"Oh! Hello Trowa, I'm Relena, and this is Dorothy" she said pointing to her right, "and I'm sure you know that the stoic guy on your left is Heero. Now that we're all introduced we should tell each person a little about ourselves!"

Dorothy and Relena's introduction was the longest. They told us practically their whole life story! I thought they would never shut up. Turns out they have been friends since they can remember since they lived right next door to each other their whole lives. They both dreamed of becoming and undercover CIA agent and have studied to become one for a while. My introduction was nothing more than a sentence:

"Wanted to be a CIA agent, applied, here I am."

"Hmm…what about your past, tell us of that!" said Relena cheerfully. Yeah right, I couldn't tell them of my past! What would I say? /I was part of a secret program in the military as a pilot of one of the gundams. I have no clue who my parents are, nor do I care. I was trained to be the 'Perfect Soldier' by a cold hearted scientist named J./ yeah that would go over well with my new 'friends' they would think me a lunatic or feel pity for me, nether of which I wanted. So, my answer was, "my past is irrelevant" and I wouldn't say anymore. Relena tried for a little while longer to get me to tell it but it was futile, I was done talking. Trowa was next, and said more that one time, than I think he ever did again:

"I was an orphan living on the streets when a circus group came to my area. I went to watch them perform and one of the younger girls noticed me and started talking to me. When she realized I was an orphan she asked the 'Captain', as he liked to be called, and asked him if I could join the circus. He agreed and told the girl to work out a performance with me in it so I could 'earn' my keep. Kathy, the girl was an excellent knife thrower. Her act had originally consisted of her hitting bull's eyes from different distances. However, it soon changed to have me be her target, she would throw her knives so they were only inches away from me. Two by my head, two by my wrist, two under my arm by my shoulder, two on either side of my waist, one between my legs, and two for each leg. I did that for five years, before I took this test and ended up here." And with that he finished his story and went back to his food. The two girls were staring at him, their eyes bugging out in disbelief.

"Wow" they said at the same time. Trowa just kept looking at his food, swirling his mashed potatoes around his plate idly. After the shock had worn off of the girls they started talking to each other, trying to get us to join in but not really trying all that hard.

Finally dinner was over. Our table was getting ready to get up and head back to the barracks when Commander Blake came over with a new man in a Lieutenants uniform.

"This is Lieutenant Reid. He will be one of your instructors while you are here. He would like to work with you all a little tonight to get a feel of what will be happening tomorrow. If you would follow him, he will take you someplace to get started. See you all tomorrow" as Commander Blake walked away Lieutenant Reid lead up out of the dinning hall and into the yard. We walked for about five minutes before we came to a wide open field and stopped. It was starting to get dark, as it was fall.

"Have a seat everyone, I just want to talk to you all for a little while." Said Reid. Well all took a seat in the grass, I was still with Trowa, Relena, and Dorothy so we all say together. "Welcome to 'The Farm'. Tomorrow you will begin your training as a CIA officer. I am pleased to see that there are so many of you coming to join our side." I started to tune Commander Reid out. I knew what was going to be said and done. Not all of us would be making it back to the Barracks tonight with the group. The first night the new trainees were at The Farm they were always brought outside to have a chat, then towards the end, the advanced trainees, who were getting ready to 'graduate', ran into the opening and 'captured' several of the trainees. It was then the 'Newbies' mission to rescue the captives the next day. I knew this from hacking into the CIA system the day before. Sure enough, after we had been outside for about 20 minutes, figures jumped out of the long grass, and out of a few trees near by. They raced forward towards us. Many of the Newbies were screaming, the Captors made sure to bypass them. As luck would have it they took the four of us, for we seemed to be the quietist ones there. Either the others with me had known about this happening or they had figured out what was happening then.

We were dragged along away from the field to a road where a car was waiting for us, we were pushed inside where we were promptly blindfolded, gagged and tied before the car sped away. It was now up to our screaming fright filled class to 'save' us. I had very little confidence in them.

We were in the car for what seemed like an hour before it finally pulled to a halt. We were yanked out if it and pulled off into some building. I had the distinct feeling that we were still on The Farm and had only driven around to distort us. The air smelled fresh and piney at the same time, much like The Farm's air. We were also walking over gravel which most of the roads at The Farm are made out of. And besides the fact that our 'class mates' would be searching for us, we had to be somewhere close by.

Once we were in the building they took off our blind folds and gags and untied us. We found ourselves in a little cabin type of place with no windows and no furniture. It was probably a storage building that was used instead for 'missions'. One of our captors spoke to us then,

"This is a training exercise. You will be staying here until 'freed' by someone in your Training group, or one of us tells you that you can go. Is that understood?"

"Yeah" All four of us said together.

"Good, sleep now, the 'mission' doesn't start until the morning."

He left and locked the door behind him. We were completely alone in the little building.

"Well this is exciting" said Relena, sitting down on the floor with her back leaned against the far wall.

"Yeah, why did they have to pick us? The others will never find us. They were screaming out there for crying out loud! Maybe one or two will know what to do, but its going to be a group effort." Said Dorothy, joining Relena on the floor.

"Who said we had to stay here?" three sets of eyes looked up at me in wonder.

"They said this was a training exercise. We're Training to be CIA agents just like the others. Our mission, if this was real, would be to find a way out, not wait to be saved." I explained "So why don't we try and get out of here?"

"Hmm… silent boy has a point." Said Dorothy, furrowing her brows in thought.

"That's a great idea, then we won't be waiting around here board out of our minds waiting to be 'saved'!" cryed Relena jumping to her feet. "How will we get out though?"

"The door is a key lock, its easily picked. I can do that in no time, then we'll have to check to see how many, if any, people are standing guard. And then figure things out from there."

"Alright"

I quickly got to work, pulling out my lock pick. It took me a matter of seconds before I herd the low click of the lock, signifying that it was now open. I motioned for the others to be quite and I cracked the door open. I could a camp fire going, and what looked like a persons back. So, people were guarding outside. We'll either have to fight, wait to be rescued, or think of something else.

"There's a camp fire out there, and at least one person sitting out there, I'm almost positive there are others. Does anyone here know how to fight?" Three heads nodded at me. "Do you all know where the pressure point is in the neck so you can just put them out and not beat them up?" three heads nodded again. "Good. Now there are four of us. I'll take the middle, Relena, you take the right, Dorothy, you take the left, and Trowa, you check the back and then come and help whoever it looks like they need it. Is everyone good with that?" Three heads nodded yet again. "Alright, then on the count of three I'm going to open the door and we're going to go. Remember just knock them out, don't beat them if its at all possible."

I got up and walked to the door. Relena, Dorothy and Trowa followed me "alright, One….Two….Three!" and with that I threw the door open and ran outside. I saw at least seven smiling faces turn to us and star in shock. This was to our advantage as we were able to knock several out before they started to attack. I was impressed with the girls, they knew their stuff, they were dropping people like flies, and Trowa quickly made his way back to us and help. It took about 10 minutes to knock everyone out. Not wanting to hang around to be caught again I suggested we go somewhere to hide out until the next morning where we would be able to surprise everyone at the briefing of the 'mission'.

As I had suspected we were still on The Farm, just in the back in the Pine Forest. We walk about a mile before coming to a nice clearing littered with pine needles which made the ground soft to sit on. We settled in for the night and went to sleep.

I was the first awake. The sun was just starting to rise. I awoke the others, and we all started back to the main building, all a little groggy from sleep. The walk was about two miles long, the sun was fully up by the time we got to the main compound, and we could see our 'class' being briefed by Lieutenant Reid. We walked over to the group, and noticed Commander Blake in the back, he was looking at us and smiling. Commander Reid didn't even look around, but he spoke loud enough for us to hear him as we approached.

"As you all can see, these four have escaped from their captors. In all the years we have had this training exercise we have never had the 'captives' try to escape. For you see this was a mission for both groups, but the 'captives' usually never realize this. Well done you four." When Lieutenant Reid said this last part he looked over at us, a slight smirk played over his face at us. He continued to look at us as he said the next part, "Commander Blake wished to see you four before you start your day, we will be in the class room, which I'm sure Commander Blake will show you to once he is done with you." He looked back to the group and had them follow him to a classroom somewhere. Commander Blake walked over to us.

"You guys did a splendid job. That has never happened before. We've had captives think about escaping but they never do because they feel they would be messing up the training exercise. Because you guys thought of it and completed it, it shows that you have dedication and a brain." He looked at me "And Heero, I must say I have never seen someone so young pick a military lock so quickly." He smirked at me and his eye twinkled with knowledge. Had he found out about my past? I had use a different name when I was with the military and I had created a false background for the name Heero Yuy, surly he didn't know, he was just assuming something. "I would like to have a word with you alone Heero, if that is possible."

"Sure"

He put his arm around my shoulder and lead be away from the other three. "How did you pick that lock so quickly, you must have had practice with military locks before because regular lock pickers cannot pick that lock that fast."

So he didn't know.

"I picked locks as a kid. I lived right next to a military base. I would challenge myself with their locks. I got pretty good at breaking in." I told him. It was somewhat true. I had lived near a military base when I was working for them, and I didn't pick the locks in order to hack into different systems and get materials I needed.

"Oh, I see. It was very impressive." There was a silence for a while as we walked, and then, "do you know how long we have been doing that training practice Heero?"

"No"

"We've been doing that for over 50 years. 50 years Heero, and you're the first one to mention escape and then go through with it, and have it be successful. I knew you were going to be the best. In fact, your training might be cut from the normal two months to only a month. However, since there are some important things that you learn during the second month, I'm going to have to ask you if we can meet each day for an hour or so, so that I can teach you what you will need to know."

"Sure, but why id my training only going to be a month? That will look suspicious"

"Don't tell anyone that its being cut down"

"And my excuse for meeting with you?"

"I'll make your chore be something by my office so no one will suspect anything"

"So why are you cutting my training" I stopped walking and looked at him. He looked away from me and tried to change the subject. "Oh, its not important"

"Tell me. It is important, otherwise you wouldn't Be doing it."

"Alright, but again you can't tell any of your class mates." I nodded, "There is a popular club called Club Ravine, have you ever heard of it?" Sure I'd herd of it, it was run by a 23 year old. The youngest and richest person to ever run a club, he had a few set up through the country.

"Yes"

"Well a new one just opened a few miles away. We sense something bad with Duo, the owner. People go in there and never come back out. But the mysterious thing is that they could go in which a group and the group won't notice they never came out with them, and nether will the people know originally knew them. These people just disappear. Also no one has seen Duo before, yet he is always at his clubs. Young people are the ones who frequent his clubs the most. You are our youngest and best agent we have."

"But I havn't even finished my training, I've only been here for a day! How can you know this about me?"

"Kid I've been here for a LONG time, I can see these things. You're a natural, and I know your past is not what is in the records. I don't know what you did, but I know it must have been something big and important to have to make up a past. I won't ask you about it, I'm not going to make you tell me, but I'm telling you kid, you're the best, and we need YOU." He whispered that last part.

A shiver ran down my spine. I was going to have a month less training, and then go by myself and find out what was going on in that club!?!? I hate clubs!! I would have to make myself comfortable, or at least look it, and I had one month to prepare myself. I would need to go to some close by on my free days. This was not good. Not good at all. Maybe if I had a partner it wouldn't be so bad, but it would just be me. NOCs don't have partners, they're alone, it was the military all over again, but this time they called themselves the CIA.

I knew a few things about Duos clubs. One: Duo invited only the 'hottest' people there, Two: tight revealing clothing was a must if you wanted to be considered to see him, Three: his clubs were mostly gay/lesbian clubs, and Four: once I got to him, I would never be coming back out.
