Hmm, so much for that. I ended up, I think, fixing it easier than I thought and already had this typed up. So here you go.
"Heero! Your father's back, come downstairs, please."
Heero looked around in surprise at hearing his mother's voice. He stood up, leaving the hacked-into network up, and left his room. In the kitchen he saw Odin with his head in his hands, staring at the table top.
(No.) There was fear in his voice. Something Heero didn't think possible. (What happened?)
"What's wrong, Dad?"
"You know your friend Relena Darlian? Her father's a very high politian, a very rich, right?" Heero knew where this was going, but his voice didn't. "Relena Darlian was kidnapped earlier this afternoon while riding home from a conference of her father's. She was alone in the limo when it was attacked and taken."
Heero's mom stared sympathetically at him. "Don't worry, dear. They'll get her back. Now, supper's ready, sit down."
"I'm not hungry." Heero's mind was already analyzing all the information it had just been fed. His voice was being unusually quiet.
His mom looked ready to protest but Odin raised his hand. "Then you should probably get some sleep."
Heero nodded and turned back towards the door. As he reached it he had an odd feeling of the floor tipping and he was suddenly no longer in control.
(Sorry, but I guess it's my turn.)
Heero blinked in surprise as he turned back to face his parents. Huh. I guess it is.
Heero walked quickly to his mom and hugged her tightly. She hugged him back and even Heero, inside his own head, could feel the hug as well. He turned to Odin and gave him a quick hug as well.
"Night." Heero registered the surprise on their faces as his voice led his body up the stairs. At the top the feeling repeated itself and they were switched back.
(Sorry. I didn't know that would happen.)
Heero nodded. I know.

"It's been hours. Anything could have happened to her." Heero paused in his pacing and glanced at the clock.
(I thought you didn't show this kind of emotion. Look, Dad and his team will take care of this and she'll be back in the morning.)
You seem calm about this. That's not right, I'm the one that doesn't show emotions. Silence for a minute. He hasn't even left yet. I'm going to go ask.
Heero's voice laughed as he left his room and started down the stairs. Halfway down he heard his parents talking and froze.
"They made a deal." Odin's angry voice came from the far side of the living room. "My team doesn't interfere and the Darlian girl lives. They're cowards."
"You…are going to save her, right?"
A sigh. "We're going to try. But if they even think we're involved, they'll kill her. They might kill her anyway and blame us."
Heero turned back up the stairs and went into his room. His voice was silent for a minute until Heero began digging through the room.
(They're going to kill her, why?)
As corny as it sounds, It's like asking why a bird flies. These kinds of people just do that because they want to.
(What are you looking for?)
Heero didn't answer as he found a knife on the dresser. He pocketed it and turned to the door. Where does Odi-Dad keep his weapons?
(Y-you're not going to try? You'll be killed.)
I'm friends with Death, I don't think I need to worry about it.
A sigh. (They're in his closet.)
Heero chuckled dryly. Mission excepted.
It's always Relena that causes the trouble, isn't it? So, let me know what you think.
