ZT: You guys are no fun… Don't own Gundam Wing. Enjoy!

Dark Devotions- At one of the endings of Endless Waltz, Trowa is involved with a magic act. I just used that and the fact that his home is a circus as an excuse for him knowing magic.

Fate Sucks

Chapter 16

Heero looked around slightly annoyed. Where were they? Usually it was Duo who was the hardest one to find, not Quatre AND Trowa! The docs had received another load of information from Night Star. This one described some blueprints for a new type of weapon. According to Night Star, these things were being built specifically fro taking out the Gundams! Needless to say, those prints needed to have a little go over.

But the mission was sent to ALL of them! He found Wufei and Duo with no problems since Laury took off this morning and Alex was at work, but where the hell were the other two? They weren't at their dorms, not in the music room, not at the library, not randomly walking the grounds, not anywhere!

"Looking for someone?" Heero turned around to see a man dressed in an off white suite. He had well-kept, short dirty blond hair and dark sunglasses. He looked like he was older than the perfect soldier, but only by a few years. He couldn't put his finger on it, but Heero felt like he knew this guy from somewhere…

"Well?" the man asked; his low voice almost like a purr, "Who is it that you are looking for? Perhaps I can be of some assistance."

"Hey Heero!" Both turned to see Sai waving at the perfect soldier from a distance away.

The man lowered his head and let out a breath, "Well, perhaps another time, then. Nice meeting you…Heero, was it?" With that he walked away.

Heero couldn't help but blink, 'That was odd…'

Sai ran up to him. She looked in the direction that the stranger left in, "What was that all about?"

Heero shook his head; he didn't have a clue.

Sai looked at him, "So…what'cha up to?"

Heero ignored her and began looking for the others again.

Sai let out a huff of air and followed him, "Y'know, Duo says you can talk, but I'm really beginning to think otherwise. I mean, even Ness speaks more than you do and she hates talking because she stutters. You don't even talk to interrogate me and that's EXACTLY what you're supposed to be doing! Interrogating me! Some 'Perfect Soldier' you are! And by the way, if you did at least say ONE word to me, I may have let at least SOMETHING slip by now! You think I can rattle on and on like this and NOT accidentally reveal something? C'mon! Night Star could be right under your nose and you wouldn't know because you don't try to find anything out about Night Star from me! I know there's nothing on the web; I PERSONALLY deleted all the files on-line!"

Heero didn't answer.

Sai had a child-like, annoyed look on her face, "You sound more like a girl than I do, don't you?"

Heero glared at her, "What?"

"HA! You can talk! It's a miracle!" Sai burst out, pointing at Heero with a victory grin on her face.

Heero just stared at the girl. After a few seconds, heshook his head, Wufei's rant about crazy women coming to mind.

"So which pilots are you looking for, anyway?" Sai asked.

Heero's eyes immediately locked with hers, "How did you know that?"

Sai shrugged, "Honestly? You're a bit too predictable… You're so into your missions and stuff that you're in full-time soldier mode. Thus, whenever you're just walking outside, you're usually looking for someone. And since you seem to be showing no real interest in me for the time being, I'm guessing that you're looking for the other pilots."

Heero just stared at the girl. Was he really that predictable? Or was she just good at reading people? He didn't think he was that predictable… But then again, Dr. J DID stop him from shooting himself that one time before Operation Meteor began. He hadn't even said he was going to take off, let alone to where he was taking off! Okay, so maybe he was a little predictable… He sighed, "Do you know where Trowa and Quatre are?"

Sai blinked, "They're searching Ally's room while she's out."

Now it was Heero's time to blink, "…Why?"

She shrugged, "I dunno, but I think she put on her magic show for them since they were talking about exploding cards."Seeinghis confused look, she grinnedand beckoned for him to follow, "C'mon, it's this way."

Who's Mr. Familiar? Don't know? I do! Anyways, 3 love it. 1 hates it. What do you think? Review it! Till next time!
