I'm sorry, it's another pretty short one. But I'm working on the next, right after I post this. I would have had it up earlier, but my sister wouldn't get off the computer. Anyway, this is mostlytalking, sorry about that, but the next one will get more action!

The resulting silence was deafening. The two men stared at each other for a minute and then Heero chuckled nervously to himself. (So much for the "Air of Mystery.")

How does he know? Or is he just bluffing? Heero glared at the man sitting calmly in his desk.

"In my head? What do you mean, like a psycho?" Heero leaned back with his hands in his pockets.

"You know very well what I mean. And I know because there's no way a child like you could make it through." Treize leaned back as well and poured himself a cup of tea.

He's got a point.

"I like to watch movies. I got the idea from there."

Treize laughed. "Give it up."

"Then what makes you think, besides me getting in here, that there's this 'Heero Yuy' in my head?"

Treize's eyes took on a faraway look and Heero sighed. If he starts reminiscing, put the gun to your head and pull the trigger.

(Has he done it before?) Heero watched Treize in slight apprehension. (Is it that bad?)

No. I just don't care that much.

(And Relena?)

We'd still save her. I've survived bullet shots before.

"How do I know?" Treize spoke suddenly, making Heero jump. "Because I have Treize Khushrenada in my head."

(Well that's a surprise.) Heero shook his head. "So…you're a nutter?"

Treize stood up, all amusement gone. "I have had enough of your childish games." His eyes narrowed. "Why isn't Heero in control?"

I'd like to be. Heero chuckled slightly. "I killed him. That's why I'm in control."

"How does he put up with you? It's like talking to a four year old." Treize sat back down and took a sip of tea.

(I wonder if tea works like bear does. You know, as something to help you "forget" what's going on? Maybe the caffeine. And I resent being called a four year old.)

I put up with Duo. Putting up with you is like putting up with him.

Heero thought this over for a minute. (Is that a good or a bad thing?)

Heero sighed and was going to answer when the ground tipped and he staggered a step to the side. The world righted itself and Heero brought the gun up, firing it twice. Treize jerked sideways and the bullets tore into his chair.

I'm gonna kill him!

(Why? Is he just that irritating to you?)

He's a self-important, arrogant little kid.

(Wow. You've both called each other little kids. Sorta.)

"I see you're back in control." Treize dusted the chips of his chair off his coat. "That's good. Now we get down to business."

"Business?"

"Your friend, Relena." Treize stood. "She's going to be killed."

(Well, that's to the point. No beating around the bush when he's talking to you.)

Heero pointed the gun, aiming for just between Treize's eyes. "Why? Lowe didn't interfere at all."

Treize smiled. "He was just here."

(Oops.)

"He's not on Odin's team. That was the deal, if the team stays away, she lives."

(You could just pull the trigger and kill him.)

Aren't you a pacifist? No killing?

(Not wanting to kill someone doesn't make me a pacifist. And there's always an exception.)

"His team is here." Treize pushed a button and a small screen lifted off his desk and turned to face Heero. The screen showed a small group of men, four of five, running down a hall. Several guards appeared from around the corner and began firing. "Deal's off."
