Chapter, the 22nd the onset of "the talk"

"I just called Duo's cell. They're on their way." Kaori said, placing the phone back on the wall. "Now, tell me, Alex, why ddi you leave for two years?"

"Temporary leave of absense…I told you that." Alex walked into the kitchen and started to make herself something to eat. "Do you guys want a sandwich?"

"No, we don't. We want to know the truth, Alex." Vicky wanted to know why Alex had chosen to take such a long temporary leave of absense. She wanted to know why alex's temporary leave of absense turned out to be two years long and if she was ever going to come back to heaven.

Alex sighed, she was gonna have to tell the two of them. Just as she opened her mouth to speak though, the door slammed open and Darien strode in, blonde hair in a mess around his head.

"If you ever even think of taking any time off again, I will clip your wings and you'll never fly again! Do you hear me! Never again!" He yelled straight into Alex's face.

She slowly stood up, the red of her hair turning ack into the dark blue color that she was known to have. "Don't you dare come in here and tell me that I can't take time off! I can take as much time of as I want, as long as I continue with my job. I just needed some time to think, that's all."

Darien had calmed down in a matter of seconds after he walked through the door. He stood staring at the Goddess of Death, blonde hair frazzled from stress floating around his face. His blues eyes stared at the apartment he was standing in. He stared at the white counter tops, the stainless steel range stove, the stainless steel refrigerator, even the peach colored walls.

Completely out of random he said, "This is a very nice kitchen. I've never actually been in a human kitchen before…"

"I know…I kinda changed it myself." Alex replied, still not making eye contact with Darien.

"You did this yourself?"

"Mm-hm."

He turned to Vicky and Kaori who were looking between the blonde haired man and the dark haired woman. "Did you guys really look for her for two years?"

The two deities looked at each other before turning their attention back to God sitting across from them. "Yeah, we looked for two years. As soon as two months was up and she wasn't back to her job we started looking." Vicky answered before Kaori could.

Alex's head popped up, "You were looking for me for two years?"

"Yes, we've been looking for two years. Duo has been the person behind all the searching we did. He was the one that really got us motivated to search for you. Why ddi you run away?" Kaori asked, clearly confused as to why her friend had decided to run away instead of facing whatever she knew was bothering her.

"I didn't run….I walked slowly in the other direction, and why exactly do you need to know why I….umm, left?"

"Because Duo's on his way here right now along with Heero. We're going to get down to the bottom of this and find out why you've been running away from Duo, why you stayed away from heaven for two years, and why you have ben mascarading as a human for two years when you could've just left the solar system and gone somewhere else." There was no room left for discussion as Darien spoke. Despite the fact that he might not have been the perfect god, he was God nonetheless.

The four dieties were silent for a few minutes before Alex felt a familiar tugging on her mental mind. She could already feel the metal net trying to pull her under, trying to restrain her. She wouldn't let it. She couldn't let it. Alex stood up, fully prepared to dematerialize out of the room and somewhere else, away from the tugging, away from the net. As she stood, her intent evident, Kaori grabbed her left arm, Vicky grabbed her right, and Darien stood behind her and each of them eased her back into her chair before she bolted. Alex forced herself to be calm. She knew that she had to have a chat with a certain Violet eyed man, but she was willing to forgo the talk and just skip the whole meeting thing.

When Darien opened her front door, there, on the step, stood Duo and Heero. They were two years older and two years wiser, two years more mature, as well as two years better looking. She calmed down when Darien put a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him as he gave her a hopeful smile.

"Don't worry, Alex. We'll be here for you, but we have to find out what's wrong. You left for two years with not one ounce of reasoning why. Something is bothering you, and Kaori and I have a very good idea of what it might be. So, Kaori, Vicky and myself will take Heero with us and leave you and Duo to talk, because, obviously, it's between the two of you."

Alex's jaw dropped. She couldn't believe what she just heard. It was unbelievable that they would leave her here with him, alone, and with no way of getting away. She turned shocked eyes up to the blonde haired man. He smiled down at her, "I'm sorry, Alex, but, you need to talk with Duo. Desperately need to. Please, just talk and I promise, we'll be here if you need the help. Don't worry, your problem, if I'm right about this, is nothing to be afraid of; just heaven and its mysterious ways." He turned around, white clothes ruffling, and walked out the door, closing it behind him and leaving the Goddess of death with the violet eyed man.
