You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I've lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." You must do the thing you think you cannot do. - Eleanor Roosevelt

The truth is out

"Freeze."

At this Heero and Duo halted. Heero glared at the soldiers in front of them, angry with himself for not noticing them in time. Duo glanced at him from the corner of his eye not looking all too pleased himself.

Suddenly a number of shots rang out and the soldiers dropped to the ground. Duo went to check for a pulse. "They're dead."

Heero had in the meantime turned around to see who had fired. He couldn't see much though; the person had covered their face. Then he noticed that the person had a curvy figure. A woman? Heero blinked aiming his gun at the unknown woman as Duo moved closer to him, his gun at the ready.

She sighed. "Is that any way to treat an ally Heero?"

"How do we know you're an ally? And how do you know his name?" Duo interrupted.

"Hn."

"Honestly Duo, you're such a…"

The woman never got to finish her sentence for at that moment Zechs burst through the door. Heero watched the scene unfold as he headed straight towards the woman. "Just what the hell do you think you're doing?!" He yelled waving his arms to emphasize his words.

Duo stood next to Heero, his eyes wide. "Someone's lost it…" He whispered. 'If he ever had it.' He added in his thoughts.

To their surprise the woman chuckled. "You're making a fool of yourself Zechs. It's good to see you finally have the courage to be what you truly are." The woman replied sneering, her tone cold as ice. "I am simply doing what is necessary."

Zechs decided to let it pass for now considering he had more important matters to deal with. "Where is Relena?!"

She shook her head. "Safe. Or at least she was… until someone betrayed her."

"What are you talking about?" He looked just about ready to strangle someone.

"Someone gave the location away where she was hiding. Now they have her. That is all you need to know. Don't worry. I will take care of things; it is my responsibility after all."

She turned to leave but was stopped when Zechs grabbed her arm. "Where do you think you're going?"

In the struggle that ensued Zechs managed to pull her mask off.

Both Duo and Heero were astonished as the light caught her face. It couldn't be…

"Princess?" Duo asked hesitantly.

"Relena?" Heero had a questioning look in his eyes.

Kat finally pulled herself free and glared at them.

Heero immediately aimed his gun at her again. "Relena could not have possibly killed those soldiers. Who are you?" He demanded in his monotone voice.

"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?" Kat smirked, laughing at him.

Heero didn't waver nor did he reply. His eyes remained fixated on her. "I will kill you."

Zechs growled. "This is the infuriating, good for nothing twin sister of Relena, better known as Katrina Peacecraft."

Kat continued to smirk. "Thanks Zechs, you always did know how to introduce people." She winked. "Call me Kat for short."

Duo's jaw dropped. "Princess has a twin?" After recovering from the initial shock he scratched his head, finding the story rather confusing.

"No, it just seems that way. I am actually the Easter bunny in disguise. " Kat stated rolling her eyes.

"You're coming with us to Preventer headquarters and then you are going to explain what you're up to this time." He was running out of patience.

"Whatever." Kat shrugged and nodded curtly before following them. "I have some business to take care of there anyway."

The guys glanced at her suspiciously but decided to say nothing. At least she was on their side. They hoped.

At Preventer headquarters…

"Miss Relena! You're okay." Quatre exclaimed coming towards them in a fast pace. "I came as soon as…" He stopped when he saw the expressions on their faces and that Relena was glaring at Zechs.

Lady Une had come as well. "Relena. You're okay. You had us worried."

Zechs crossed his arms. "Relena has something to tell you."

Kat huffed in annoyance and crossed her arms as well, still glaring at Zechs. "I hate you Zechs."

"The feeling is mutual." He answered dryly his expression not showing his amusement.

"Relena?" Quatre asked confusion evident in his voice. She was acting strange. Since when did she call Milliardo Zechs? And did she just say that she hated him? What is going on?

However Kat was now focusing on someone else. Her eyes never left those of Lady Une as she stepped forward. "I do not like traitors." The look in her eyes matching her tone.

The occupants of the room shuddered.

"I think Lady Une has more explaining to do. Why have you betrayed Relena? Personally I always thought forgiving you was a mistake." Kat was currently circling Lady Une like a vulture circling its prey.

Trowa stood silently behind the others. He observed every move made without moving from his position; he was tense yet seemed relaxed as he leaned against the wall.

Lady Une's eyes flashed dangerously. "So you know then, Panther." She sneered.

Hilde who was standing next to Duo gasped. "Relena is the notorious assassin Panther?"

"No." Heero said immediately. "That would be Relena's twin sister Katrina." He added.

Shock was written on almost everyone's face except for a select few. Trowa's eyes had widened slightly and Quatre's eyes had widened considerably.

"Miss Relena has a twin?"

"It would appear so." Trowa carefully studied Kat who had said nothing through the whole ordeal but had not let Lady Une out of her sight. That would also explain her recent behaviour.

Lady Une laughed. "You people are truly pathetic. It looks like this little charade is over. However you, Katrina, of all people should know why I'm doing this." She paused, a sick grin spreading across her face. "Old habits die hard."

"You couldn't be more right lady Une." Kat nodded her agreement her lips curved up forming a bone chilling smile. Before anyone could even blink Kat had attacked. Spinning her around Kat's arm locked around her neck and her body went limp.

Zechs was almost pulling his hair in frustration. "What have you done? We could have used her to get information."

"I had no further use for her. She'll was a threat. Threats must be eliminated. Besides, I gathered all the information I needed from the base I was in." She didn't even look as Zechs while answering.

"You let them capture you on purpose."

A mocking smirk appeared. "Of course Zechs, you should know me better than that. Now if you will all excuse me." Halfway out the door she stopped. "How is Dorothy by the way?"

"You know Miss Catalonia?" Quatre gasped surprised.

"Yeah, D and I go way back." She shrugged. "If you want to know more ask her. I don't have time for no bedtime stories kids."

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

As the needle neared her neck the assassin was practically groaning with pleasure when he thought of what a beautiful corpse she would make. He happily hummed a tune as he prepared the needle.

She would be his sleeping beauty. Put to sleep. Permanently. He chuckled.

He never knew what hit him as he sank to the floor the needle sticking out of his own neck courtesy of his 'sleeping beauty'.

Dorothy snarled, glaring at the man's now pitiful form. "Never just assume a person is unconscious. Didn't they ever teach you to make sure?" She flipped her hair in annoyance. "That's what you get for sending a man to do a woman's job." True to her word she curled her fingers around his wrist, checking for a pulse. Satisfied when she found none she yanked out the needle and tossed it. Then she grabbed her IV and hauled herself to another free room.

"Miss… Shouldn't you be in your own room?" A nurse came up to her trying to shoo her back into her room.

"Oh no, I couldn't." She faked some tears and pretended to choke on her words. "That man… Someone just… He just fell to the ground… Oh I think he's…" She sobbed. 'I should have smacked her. What an idiot.' Inwardly Dorothy laughed at her.

The nurse ran off to take a look. Seconds later she was screaming for a doctor.

Dorothy just huffed and went off to find herself another room. 'You'd think she would be more professional about seeing a dead man. Such is life, people die. Get over it. Honestly, you'd think it's the end of the world.' Plopping onto a bed she turned on the television only to land right on the Bold and the Beautiful. She immediately changed the channel. 'I hate soap operas.' She narrowed her eyes as if trying to scare the television out of even displaying that kind of show.
