Chapter 2
Heero's dream started off peacefully. He saw a big church and was compelled to walk in. The next thing he knew, Duo was dragging him to the front, saying something about him being late as crap for his own wedding. All Heero could do was stare at him with a confused look. The next thing he heard was organ music and turned to see a woman wearing a veil walking towards him. Duo spun around and was magically a priest. The woman stopped and it was then that Heero saw that it was Relena. Duo then said some words, and Heero responded automatically with an 'I do.' Duo turned to Relena and the process was repeated with Relena saying 'I do.' Heero lifted the veil, and kissed Relena. He turned, and the next thing he saw was Duo being dragged by his braid by Hilde towards another priest, saying something about not being allowed to perform his own wedding. Wufei was actually rolling on the floor laughing until he looked up and saw Sally with a rope. The next thing he knew, he was hog-tied and being dragged by her behind Duo. The only normal ones were Quatre and Dorothy. They were calmly chuckling about everything that was happening until the Maguanacs grabbed them both and carried them the same way the others had been dragged. The fight they put up didn't matter. They lost, although Dorothy did try to kick Rashid in the stomach, but ended up hitting Quatre in the groin. When that happened, every guy in the room winced, including Heero.
"Well, their kids are gonna come out flatter than pancakes," a voice said in the crowd.
Heero and Relena looked at each other and burst out laughing. The next sequence to the dream started, but Heero woke with a start. All he remembered from the second part was a hospital. He looked over and saw Sally injecting something into Relena's I.V. bag.
"Sorry to wake you, Heero. We are almost there. I just put the counter-agent to bring Relena back."
"Are there going to be any side-effects?" he asked.
"Mainly drowsiness and weakness. She won't be able to walk for quite a few days, mainly because the sutures are still mending, but she'll be awake. Quatre's sisters will care for her when we get there."
"How far out are we?" he asked.
"Three hours. She'll be awake by then."
He nodded and she left. He was wide awake, having slept at least ten hours, so he figured he would check his laptop for any updates on the brotherhood.
Mit Rath was in his apartment packing his clothes for his new duty assignment. He wasn't very happy about it, even though any agent would kill for this kind of promotion. He felt like a failure after failing to spot that assassin that murdered the Vice Foreign Minister. His mind temporarily drifted back to that day two weeks ago. While he had been cleared of any dereliction, he still felt like he failed. He was having doubts about completing this assignment. That was why he wasn't too happy. While he packed, his mind drifted back to the conversation on his duty assignment.
Mit walked down the corridor to the office of one of the most feared and respected men in the Preventers: Wufei Chang. When a person goes into his office, it's for one of two reasons: transfer, or getting canned. While he knew that the dereliction of duty investigation was almost finished, he was still worried. He knocked on the door and heard a voice yell "Enter". He walked in and was surprised to see not Wufei, but Duo Maxwell.
'Great' Mit thought to himself. 'This is gonna be worse.' Duo was actually a good friend to Mit, since they both fought in the war that gave birth to the Gundams, and Mitt actually fought against the former pilot at the beginning of the war. Luckily, the beam scythe just barely missed the cockpit and mini-fission reactor on his Leo. They eventually became allies during the Eve's war and Marimeia incident. It was during the Eve's war that Mit met the rest of the pilots and befriended them. Of course, befriended is a strong word for Heero and Wufei. They tolerate and respect each other. Now, as with the others, Mit was a Senior Field Agent with the Preventers, as was Duo, but Duo only did it part-time. Wufei just happen to be in charge of discipline.
"Mit, what's up buddy?" Duo greeted.
"You tell me. I was expecting Wufei."
"He's on assignment, so Madam Une asked me to fill in."
"In Wufei's personal office?"
"No. I picked the lock. I was gonna mess with his computer," Duo said with an innocent grin.
"So what am I in here for, transfer or ya'll canning me?"
"You're not getting fired. That situation at the conference was not your fault. The investigation is finished, and you're in the clear. If Evel Knievel or Mr. Personality didn't see the sniper, there's no way you could have. This guy was using some top notch kit. The rifle had an active camo ability built in."
"So what is it?" Mit asked.
"Transferred, to L4 Z-17369. You're gonna be in charge of the Preventer station there. The colony is still being built, so the population is small, only about 1800. You'll have 20 agents under your command."
"Isn't that where Quatre lives?" Mit asked.
"Yes, but officially you will not be contacting him."
"Ok and unofficially?" Mit wondered.
"Unofficially, you and him will be working together to determine if the Brotherhood has infiltrated the Preventers there, and if so who they are. We have been able to determine they are an anarchist group, determined to destroy any and all government. You will have tactical command of any situation unless told otherwise. This is also an agency-wide operation, in a way. L1 is covered by Zechs and Noin, I've got L2, Trowa has L3, you have L4, and Tam Sawton has L5. You'll report anything of importance to Quatre every two weeks to send us updates on the situation."
"I've worked with Tam. He's a good agent. Trustworthy. What about Heero, and Wufei?" Mit said.
"Heero's doing his own thing with Une's permission and Wufei is running his own op down here with Sally. Now for this you need a codename, since there is a chance that any current codename may be compromised."
"How about Back draft?"
"It sounds like your ripping a big, wet one." Duo said.
"Ok, your turn." Mit countered.
"How about Iceberg?" Duo suggested.
"I sound like I'm going to sink the Titanic." Mit stated.
They both sat there for a few minutes and thought of a name.
"How about just Ice?" Duo said.
"I like it." Mit agreed.
"Alright. You leave at 0800 tomorrow. Your stuff is already headed there. You actually get a house and not an apartment this time, so good luck. Now get out of here, I have some tinkering to do with this computer," Duo said with a grin and evil chuckle.
Mit just looked at him and shook his head as he left. 'Wufei is gonna kill him and I just hope he videotapes it and shares it' Mit thought as he left.
Mit finished packing and was out for the night. The next morning, he left his apartment, got to the spaceport, and boarded the Preventer shuttle that will take him to his new assignment. He went over the personnel files given to him to kill time on the flight. 'I wonder if she'll be there?' Mit thought to himself.
