Last time:
"What do you know about protecting Relena? And who are you anyway? And what did you do to look like Relena?"
"Everything. Eldawen Isliel. And absolutely nothing, I have looked like this all my life."
"You are going to have to come with me now." Heero said.
"Sorry but I can't do that." Eldawen replied.
"And why is that?" Heero asked.
"Because that would mean leaving my Gundam behind and you see I just can't do that." Eldawen said with a half smile.
Chapter 2 (Enjoy )
Heero stood in the small kitchen and looked at the young woman standing in front of him. He was shocked but not showing it thanks to his ever-emotionless mask. Eldawen swung herself up onto a counter and proceeded to finish off her can of Mountain Dew. Heero finally decides that she is bluffing.
"You are going to have to come to the Preventer's Headquarters (PHQ) with me right now. You are not being given a choice." Heero finally said in his monotone voice.
"I already told you, I am not going. Heero do you honestly think that I would leave my Gundam here without me somewhere near by? I think that it is time that you leave." Eldawen said jumping off of the counter and turning to the sink to rinse out her can. Heero pulls out his gun and points it at her back.
"You are going to follow orders and come with me to the PHQ. Do not make me use my weapon. I do not wish to hurt you, but we need you to come in and answer some questions." Heero kept his gun on her as she turned around. Her look was none other than his death glare.
"The PHQ is on a completely different part of this colony. That would require me to move my Gundam and that means I have to do it without everyone panicking because they see a mobile suit. I am not going anywhere with you. So unless you plan on helping move my Gundam without anyone seeing, I am staying here." Eldawen placed her arms across her chest and stared at Heero.
"You are serious? You have a Gundam?" Heero stood dumbfounded.
"Follow me." Eldawen said before turning and heading toward the door.
Relena was sitting in her office doing more paper work for the upcoming Terra Forming Project. She had been waiting for Heero to report back and tell her what he had found out. She knew that she could count on Heero to find out anything, he was the best after all. Quatre walked in to the office with a big brown bag, and placed it on her desk.
"Is that what I think it is?" Relena asked.
"Yup, and I got all of the things we are going to need for the meeting too." Quatre said smiling as he started to pull food out of the bag.
"Have I told you that I love you Quatre?" Relena smiled.
"You tell me it every time you see me. I love you too Relena." Quatre said and he picked up a burger and bit into it.
"I haven't heard from Heero yet, but I have a feeling that he found what he was looking for. I am so excited Quatre, I talked to Noin today and we are going to start looking for dresses tomorrow. I am so happy." Relena sighed as she took out some fries and started to eat them, dipping them in BBQ sauce.
"I think that you are right about Heero and I am excited about the wedding too. Heero had better get back soon though; he is going to have to be fitted for a tux. You haven't picked your maid of honor yet have you?"
"Not yet, I have a feeling I don't have the right Maid of honor yet, I mean Noin would be great as would any of your sisters Quatre, but I have a feeling that I need it to be someone closer to me. Noin is always away with Millardo and I haven't gotten a chance to really know many of your sisters."
"That may take a while, I mean there are 29 of them love. We should finish eating and then head home, tomorrow sounds like it is going to be a busy day for you." Quatre got up and headed for the door. "I will be back soon Relena, I am going to see the guys and then I will be back to bring you home." He blew her a kiss as he walked out the door. Relena sighed thinking about how happy she was. Then something made her think of Heero again, she was worried, he was like her big overprotective brother, so she felt upset that he hadn't called yet. Relena looked out the window in her office as she thought about her wedding and were Heero was.
The lights to the underground chamber flickered on. Slowly going from a low glow to lighting up the entire cave. Heero looked around and finally saw the Gundam. Eldawen had walked over to the Gundam; placing a hand on the panel next to it she began typing and then turned around when she was finished.
"Well? What do you think of my Gundam? It is a bit advanced compared to yours and the other pilots but that doesn't mean that yours wouldn't stand a chance against it, but then again, against the pilot you wouldn't last more than a minute, and that is all five of you at once." Eldawen said with a smirk. Heero gathered his wits and stared at her, his death glare, for once not having an effect.
"Whom do you work for?" Heero asked. Eldawen walked over to the Gundam and hoisted herself up into the cockpit.
"If I had been working for the enemy, you would of known it Heero. You and the rest of the Gundam pilots, along with Miss. Relena Peacecraft would all of been dead long before now. But I am not working for the enemy; I am working to protect this new peace that has been created by all of the Gundam pilots, and Miss. Relena in order to keep this peace together. I fight so that no one else will ever have to fight again. As for the new group that is out, the Phoenix Roses, I have already infiltrated their base. They won't be able to proceed with their plans for a while yet. Not after I blew up their base." Eldawen smiled. Knowing that Heero would not take a no for an answer, she decided to go to him with to the Preventer's HQ. But first she was going to have to move the Gundam to a more secure location. / Besides he is really cute. What are you thinking Eldawen? He probably already has a girlfriend and everything. Stupid / Looking up from the computer screen she was looking at Heero was standing in front of her. / I was so caught up in my own thoughts that I never saw him move, crap, I am getting rusty. I need to keep training. I think that I have an idea/. Eldawen smiled at her thought as Heero continued to stand there and stare.
"What system do you have in here?" Heero suddenly asked.
"I have a couple. First if the regular system used in all the Gundams. Then I also have the Zero system in here. And then there is the more advanced version of that system. Also the Zero Neo system, or the Zero 2 for short is installed in here. They are the only ones that I have, then again that is one more than the rest of the Gundams have, but that is alright." Eldawen might have continued to talk except that Heero had moved next to her. / Why is that all of a sudden I can't breathe. It can't be because of Yuy, can it/. He moved into the cockpit and looked around.
"It looks exactly like the Wing Zero in here." He commented. / She smells so good. I wonder what she does to make herself smell that good? What am I thinking? I have to get these thoughts out of my head. /
"Well that was the idea. This was modeled after the Wing Zero, and that isn't surprising. But this is not the Wing Zero. This Gundams name is Angel. It is suppose to be a symbol of peace, but still it must fight." / Why is he standing so close? I can feel him against me. Good God he smells good. /
"We are going to go now. I have to take you to PHQ, the others need to know about this and you are going to be the one to tell them, besides Lady Une has some questions that she wants to ask you." Heero motioned for her to get out of the Gundam.
"I told you before and this is going to be the last time that I tell you Mr. Yuy, I can not leave my Gundam behind and I will not…" Eldawen started, but never finished.
"Fine then move it. But I am coming with you. What things you want from this place you had better say so, they are being moved." With that Heero pulled out a cell phone and dialed a few numbers. After a few rings he heard a voice.
"Yeah Maxwell, I need a favor…"
Quatre had gone off to visit the other Gundam pilots at the PHQ. Trowa, Duo, and Wufei had been in Duo's office going over security plans for Relena and Quatre. Quatre walked in and they started talking again.
"I think that the best solution would be to place guards at the entrances and then have us posted on the roof and doing rounds. No one here can match our skills and I think that we are more suited for the stealth part of the security anyway." Trowa stated.
"He is right. It would be our best solution. But we cannot choose any of these weaklings here to guard the inside, which we can only be trusted to do. These weaklings know nothing. Bakas." Wufei added.
"But I think that I should be the one to guard the princess." Duo spoke up, smiling like a buffoon.
"I will be protecting Relena, Duo. Besides who can do all the stealth operations but the God of Death himself?" Quatre asked.
"Well when you put it that way, I guess you are right. Besides we should each head up a part of this security system. I will take care of the Stealth Team, since I am the God of Death." Duo added with a smile.
"Weak Baka, you are always smiling. I will take care of the Patrol Unit. That should keep me far enough from this idiot as possible." Wufei added.
"Then I will take care of the House Guards, and that will leave Heero in charge of the entire operation, he will know the best way to handle this, and Quatre is required to stay with Relena. Now that it has been settled, we should start to get together a team of the best Preventer's that are here." Trowa stated. A knock at the door had them all looking up as Millardo Peacecraft walked into the room.
"Boys I hope that you were just talking about my sisters protection." He said calmly, but with a hint of anger in it.
"We were just finishing up Zech. And for once I think everything is going to go right." Quatre said.
"Well I am going to personally be staying at the house so that Relena is going to have an extra guard." Millardo responded.
"The help won't be turned aside." Duo said happy that they had one extra Gundam pilot around. Suddenly the phone rang. Everyone almost jumped in there spots, and Duo moved to pick up the phone.
"Hello Shingami's office." Duo said.
"Yeah Maxwell, I need a favor…" The voice replied.
"Heero! That you man?" Duo asked, and everyone in the room gathered around the phone.
"Who else would it be? I need you to do me a favor." Heero replied.
"Sure. Tell me what to do and I will do it."
"I need you to go to this location and pick up a few things. And I need two people to drive back two cars that are here waiting. The keys will be on the kitchen counter."
"Heero there is more than one person in that room. By my guess, I gather that it would be, the other three pilots and…wait make that four." A voice said through the background.
"Heero, who was that?" Duo asked.
"The girl, and who is there with you?"
"Trowa, Wuffie, Quatre, and Zechs."
"INJUSTICE!" Wufei yelled, "MAXWELL DON'T CALL ME WUFFIE!"
"Yeah I can hear Wufei. Well I need you to do that and take care of things for me. I will be reporting back to base in about 2 hours, and you should have everything moved before that. Make sure that everything makes it to my apartment." Heero said.
"Ok buddy, I will get on that. See you when you get back." Duo said.
"Hn. Bye" Heero replied before turning the phone off.
Duo turned to the others in the room.
"So who wants to help me?" Duo asked smiling.
Quatre quickly said he had to get back to Relena, and Trowa said how he had a show to put on tonight. Wufei said something about not going with a weak baka, and turned and left. Millardo looked around and sighed.
"Looks like me and you Maxwell, lets go." Millardo said.
"Ok." Duo said jumping up.
They left a short while later.
Eldawen moved around Heero and jumps down off the Gundam. Heero looks down thinking that she would hurt herself after that large a fall. But there she stood looking up at him. He proceeded to jump down and join her on the ground.
"Heero Yuy, you are about to go on the ride of your life. But first." Eldawen turned and ran towards the apartment. By the time Heero caught up to her, she was in her room grabbing underwear and bras out of her drawers. / I wonder what she would look like in some of them. She has got to have a great body. / Heero shook his head. Eldawen continued to throw some personal belongings in a bag. She turned around to find Heero in the doorway watching her. Smiling she walked over to the bathroom and grabbed something else.
"Ready to go. I have to leave the keys on the Kitchen counter I think is what you told this Maxwell am I right?" Eldawen said.
"Hn." Heero replied watching her.
"So you are going to have Duo Maxwell grab my things. Shingami, the biggest womanizer around, you are out of your ever-loving mind. I just grabbed a few things. Lets go." Eldawen turned and went back to the Gundam. Heero followed slowly. He wasn't sure what to think of her. / She has to be crazy. But then I have to be crazy of thinking about her the way that I am. Oh boy what am I getting myself into/ Eldawen had opened a compartment inside the cockpit of her Gundam. She threw her bag in and then looked out to see Heero still standing on the ground.
"Get up here already. We have to get going now. I want to get this thing out of here without anyone noticing and right now is going to be the best time." She said as Heero lifted himself up to the cockpit. He stood just inside the door, and looked around. Eldawen looked around too. She hadn't thought about how Heero was going to fit in the cockpit. She was just about to say something when Heero spoke up.
"Move." Heero said quickly.
"Excuse me? Who the hell do you think you are? This is my Gundam, MINE!" Eldawen partially yelled.
"Just move for a minute." Heero said. Eldawen moved to outside the door to the cockpit. Heero sat down in her seat and she nearly shot him. She was just about to throw him out when he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his lap. / What is he doing? I am starting to blush; I can feel it. No! I can't I am not to have feelings. But he is so cute. No. / As Eldawen fought with her thoughts Heero was thinking some of his own. / I can't believe I just did that. She fits so right here. She is so beautiful. I have to stop thinking like this. I wonder what she would be like in bed. NO! I have to stop thinking like that. / Heero tried to take a mental cold shower, but it wasn't working to well. Eldawen turned to face him.
"This is my Gundam and it has more surprises than the old ones." With that she got up out of his lap. She reached up and pulled a lever. The Gundam made some noise and behind her commander seat another popped up. "Now GET THE HELL OUT OF MY SEAT!" Eldawen yelled at Heero. He looked at her and stood up. He hopped over the seat into the one behind it. / Good thing I had enough time. / He thought as he felt himself grow hard. Eldawen had sat in the seat in front of him and had begun to type away, the cockpit door was closing and she was beginning a flight sequence.
"I haven't had all the time in the world to go out and fly in Angel here. I have to have repairs done to her soon. That means that I am going to have to call Howard. He has the best parts." Eldawen began as she opened the hatch for Angel to fly through. She looked back at Heero who was sitting with his arms crossed and his emotionless mask on once again. / So he isn't going to talk. Well that is fine by me, but he is so good looking. I wonder if I could get him riled up. Maybe… / Eldawen smiled before turning back around and flying Angel out of the hanger.
Duo and Millardo had finally arrived at the house that Heero had told them to go to. It was a run down apartment building. They headed up to the apartment that Heero had told them about. They went in, and looked around the place. It wasn't much, but it was clean at least. Duo went into the kitchen and found the keys on the counter where Heero said that they would be.
"Hey, Zechs, we should grab the things and go, by the time we get back he will already be there. Man I wish I could have been the one to have Heero's job. Lets get going." Duo said no longer smiling when he headed towards the living room. / There should be more than this in any house. / Duo stood and looked at what they has come to pick up, and it wasn't much. Millardo was looking around and decided to start placing things in boxes and bags. Duo soon started to help, and once Millardo had pack a few boxes and bags, Duo would bring them down to the cars and place them in. They placed the Furniture into a moving van that Duo had to go out and get. After placing Heero's Bike in the back and finished packing up all the boxes, they moved into the bedroom to grab clothes and anything else that was left. It was Millardo that found the picture. He looked at it for a long time before turning to Duo.
"We have to hurry, and we have to finish this up quickly." Millardo had gone as white as a sheet. Before Duo could ask any questions Millardo had turned out of the room carrying the last box down to the car. As Duo picked up the picture that Millardo had put down, his eyes went wide before he quickly followed. They arrived at Heero's apartment a short half an hour later and had the things unpacked into Heero's living room before they went to PHQ, they needed to see Lady Une.
Eldawen felt free. She loved flying Angel around space. But she knew what she had to do and that meant that Angel was in jeopardy. She wasn't going to let that happen.
"I am going to have to leave you somewhere while I go and hide my Gundam." Eldawen said to Heero.
"No. I am going with you, and besides, you are going to bring this to my hanger and place it with my Gundam. It will be safe there." Heero replied before looking around the cockpit again.
"This is my Gundam and no one, I repeat NO ONE is going to mess around with my Gundam. I am not going to bring it to the PHQ. They will destroy my Gundam and no one is allowed to work on my Gundam unless I trust them. And I don't trust many people." Eldawen said, growing red as her anger started to get the best of her. Heero looked at her for a moment and decided that it was best not to push this one into a corner.
"You will not be bringing this to PHQ. My hanger is behind the apartment building that I share with the other Gundam pilots. All of our Gundams are there. That is where you will bring the Gundam, and no one will touch it there." Heero said staring at her. He could here Eldawen sigh with relief. He gave her the coordinates to the hanger, and then watched as she quickly and smoothly landed Angel in the hanger. Eldawen proceeded with the shut down before turning around to Heero.
"Now that we have done all this we are going to pull off a little stunt. I cannot have everyone knowing that my Gundam cockpit is different from the others so you are going to have to hop over the seat again. I can then hide the seat and we can get out." Eldawen smiled. / That is a smile that could prove to be very dangerous for me. / Heero hopped over the seat and Eldawen pushed a button and the seat behind hers disappeared. Eldawen hit another button and the cockpit opened. Heero nearly fell out. Eldawen almost laughed out loud before she looked at Heero's face, and then she tried not to smile although it was hard. Heero was lowering himself down on a cord, and Eldawen decided not to wait. She looked down and jumped. She did a flip in the air and landed on her feet just as Heero reached the bottom. She looked over at Heero and smiled. He scowled at her before motioning for her to follow him. Eldawen closed the cockpit from the outside, and hurried to follow Heero. She looked quickly at each Gundam they passed, her gaze lingering on the Wing Zero. Heero opened a door at the end of the hanger and passed through it. Eldawen followed, and found herself in a hallway. Heero stood against a wall looking at her. She smiled and headed over to him.
"We have to go to see Lady Une now. We should get going but…first you should change." Heero said looking her up and down. Eldawen looked at herself and laughed right out loud. She had completely forgotten what she was wearing.
"I forgot that I never changed from the club. I didn't bring any of my clothes and who knows if your friends have gotten here yet." Eldawen said.
"We should go and see if they are back yet." Heero said as he headed to his living room. They saw that everything was there, and Eldawen grabbed some clothes and Heero told her where she could go to get changed. As she was getting ready to go Heero placed most of her things in a spare room he had, and her couch and chairs he rearranged in the living room. Surprisingly enough they didn't clash with his furniture. He had black chairs and a couch and she had a dark green. It made the living room look really good. Eldawen had been standing at the top of the stairs. He was looking around the room to see if he had to fit in anything else. She smiled thinking that she could get use to this.
"I am ready." She said as he looked up. The reaction on his face told her that she had picked right and she smiled as she went down the stairs. She was standing there in a blue pair of jeans the seemed to hug her every curve, and a dark red turtleneck that left nothing to the imagination. The shirt clung to her like a second skin. He was sure that he heard his jaw hit the floor. / She has got huge boobs. Oh boy she looks so good in that. I need to stop think about this. / Heero looked away to gather his composure and then he looked at her again. She had grabbed a coat that was brown leather and was putting it on. She had done her hair up in a ponytail and she wore no makeup. He calmed himself down and he grabbed his own coat. He turned to that door.
"Lets go. We are going to be late." Heero said.
"Alright." Eldawen was glad that she had picked out her running shoes to wear. They got out of the building and headed down the few blocks to get to the PHQ. Eldawen was tired of walking. She ran up to Heero and tagged him, yelling back as she went by, "Tag your it."
"What, oh no you don't." Heero yelled as he chased after her. / If I lose her in this crowd I might not be able to catch up to her. / He ran faster as she slowed down. Eldawen knew that Heero was right behind her and just before he tagged her she sidestepped him.
"You missed Heero." Eldawen laughed. They had made it to the PHQ in no time, thanks to her little game. Heero turned around and he didn't look too happy. "Something wrong Heero?" Eldawen asked.
"What do you think you were doing?" Heero nearly yelled.
"I was playing tag, besides we got here a few minutes ahead of time, and I want to get this over with, I am tired." Eldawen said with a smile. Heero looked at her in disbelief. He put on his death glare, and was almost thrown for a loop when instead of cowering Eldawen smiled.
"You look like Relena, and if anyone had seen you and thought you were her…" Heero started to say, when Eldawen cut him off.
"I am not Relena and she would never wear anything like this. Besides you seem to be forgetting that I can handle myself." Eldawen said before turning and heading into the building. Heero followed and walked up to the front desk.
Millardo and Duo had arrived at PHQ and were walking up to Lady Une's office. Duo, just being himself, started talking.
"So why are we in such a hurry to get to Lady Une's office? I mean I know that this is an important meeting and all but when you saw that picture you were spazing out man. So what is the hurry?"
"That girl, the one in the picture was my sister. I think it was anyway. I will explain everything when we talk to Une. This just can't be happening after all this time. I know that this is going to be trouble." Millardo was talking more to himself then to Duo. Duo looked at him like he was out of his mind. (Which he just might be.) Duo grabbed Zechs arm just before he walked into a door. Millardo looked up and nodded his thanks before going back into his thoughts. They finally arrived at Lady Une's office. They went inside to find everyone, well almost everyone in the office. Relena was holding Quatre's hand as she was talking to Lady Une, and Quatre was speaking with Trowa and Wufei. Wufei was saying something about weak onnas, and Trowa was just shaking his head. Everyone looked up as Duo and Zechs walked in. Relena left Lady Une and Quatre behind and went to give Zechs a hug.
"Hello brother. I am so glad that you have come. How is Noin? Is she coming?" Relena asked, trying to keep a smile on her face.
"No Noin is staying home for now, she wasn't feeling well. What is wrong Relena?" Millardo asked picking up on her mood.
"There has been another show with me on it. It was once again claiming that I was a party girl and now the delegates are having trouble believing that I can manage my job. This is going to be a problem. They think that it is time to replace me." Relena heart darkened. She loved her job, how could she give it up? Duo trying to lighten the mood spoke up.
"Hey Princess, everything will work out fine, I mean Heero is on the job after all. And who, besides me, can ever compare to Heero?" Duo smiled and everyone laughed at that. (Duo matching up to Heero, HA.) Everyone went back to talking in small groups hoping for Heero to show up soon. Relena and Une talked about the wedding and bridesmaids dresses, and the boys talked about security and occasionally said there thoughts about what the girls were saying, which with Wufei usually had to do with, weak dresses, weak women, and injustice. The phone rang and everyone jumped about two feet in the air. Lady Une answered the vidphone to see her secretary.
"What is it?" Asked Une.
"Lady, Preventer Heero Yuy, and Miss. Voice in background It isn't Miss anything! Secretary I am sorry Eldawen Isliel to see you madam."
"Thank you, send them in." Lady Une said. Everyone sat in apprehension as the door handle turned.
After grabbing the passes from the girl at the front desk, who was flirting with him, Heero turned around only to find Eldawen in the face of the girl that he had just been talking too.
"What are you doing?" Heero asked her.
"Nothing. So you understand Jill?" Eldawen asked. When Jill nodded her head Eldawen smiled and waved good-bye and headed down the hall. Jill's look on her face was one of a person who had just been scared out of their wits. Heero decided not to ask, and went after Eldawen. Eldawen had been walking down the hall slow enough for him to catch up to her quickly.
"We have to go up two floors and then we have to head to the right." Heero said to her. She was looking around. He looked ahead and continued to walk to the elevators. He pressed the button and turned to look at her when he realized that she wasn't there. He looked back to watch her go through the door to the stairs. He hurried after her. Eldawen stood just inside the door. When he opened it, she smiled.
"You want to know something? You need to have fun. So I am going to race you to the floor that we have to get to." Heero looked at her and shook his head, and started to grab her arm to bring her back to the elevator. Before he could though she was taking off up the stairs. She stopped one flight up and looked down at him.
"If you don't hurry up you are going to lose me in here and I could easily slip out of this place. So you had better hurry up." She smiled again. / That is going to do me in one of these days. / Heero thought. / If I can get him to follow me then maybe there is a chance. / Heero raced up the stairs after Eldawen but she managed to make it through the door to the floor they needed to be on before he caught up to her. Eldawen stood leaning against a wall with a bright smile on her face. Heero glared at her.
"I won. Are you sure that you are Heero Yuy? I thought that you were supposed to be the "Perfect Solider"? You're a little bit slow aren't you?" Eldawen said with a half smile on her face.
"Hn. Lady Une is waiting." Heero grabbed Eldawen by the arm and started walking down the hall. They reached the secretary's desk and she looked up in surprise.
"Why hello Heero, how are you today?" The young girl asked.
"I am doing just fine Fiona. How are you today?" Heero replied with a smile. (What a Smile! Something is up lets find out.) / Heero smiled, he looks so good with that smile on. Wait he is smiling at her…I need to remember to kick myself later. / Eldawen pondered that Heero wasn't single while Heero talked briefly before she started to announce them. Fiona buzzed into Lady Une's office.
"What is it?" Asked a female voice that Eldawen assumed was Lady Une's.
"Lady, Preventer Heero Yuy, and Miss." Fiona started.
"It isn't Miss anything!" Eldawen said, her voice as cold as steel. Heero looked at her. / I wonder what happened, she was so friendly a few minutes ago. She must be nervous. / Eldawen stood there her face unreadable.
"I am sorry. Eldawen Isliel to see you madam." Fiona said.
"Thank you. Send them in." Une's voice said. Eldawen looked at Heero and he walked to the door and turned the handle.
