New Fate
Quatre Sweats
YES ANOTHER UPDATE!
The title of this chapter is funny because it means Quatre is gonna get a call from Lady Une (Hahaha) so lets see how that is going along. Also I need to point out that I am working by ear and that everything I write down will be spur of the moment and not premeditated, which means I am making it up as I go along.
I would also like to say that I am changing the rating from K+ to T as there will be disturbing scenes later on, I may even change it to M, just to let you know.
Disclaimer: don't own, never will

(POV)
First there was darkness… and silence, except shallow breathing and a low quiet humming… it was also hot and confining… a strong smell of sweat and spices tickled my nose, not at all enticing. The fabric wrapped around me like a cocoon, protecting me from the outside world. My hair sticking to my face in comfort, but also in restraint, a dull pain constrains my lower half. Then… suddenly, a noise. Quiet footsteps alert me to there being more than just I in my confines; I open my eyes and listen. The footsteps stop and a light shines from a distance, distorted by the fabric that is over my face, the footsteps return and I realise that they are coming towards me. They stop again, only this time the being that created them is only a metre away, I hear a small clatter of metal on wood and then an urge to turn onto my front just a little bit, by now I can hear breathing from this other being. I feel pressure on my shoulder, and a gentle shake finishes arousing me from my slumber.
The being speaks "Noin"
(Normal POV, hahaha you thought it would be Relena I know you did)
Noin untangled herself from the bed sheets as Zechs picked up a food tray, "What time is it" she croaked as she sat with her back against the headboard, throat sore from waking up.
"0815 hours" Zechs answered, placing the tray on her lap, "how are you feeling". He looked at her, searching her eyes for any sign of regret, but didn't find any.
"Sore and a little tired, but ok" Noin said, still croaking a little, she coughed a little to get rid of it then started eating breakfast.
Zechs looked worried, he had something that he had to tell Noin and it was very important. "Noin" she looked up at him as he grabbed a hold of her hand, "We've been away too long". Noin looked confused, Zechs prepared himself for what was next to come, it was not easy thinking about it, less talk about it. "Noin, Relena has been kidnapped, I need to get back to sought this out… will you come with me".
Noin was surprised, she thought that he would say at least one thing about what they had done last night. Her insides squirmed as she thought about it, but her head wanted to think about the matter at hand and she listened to Zechs about what was going on. "Of course I will, did you think you could leave me behind, like I would want to not help save Miss Relena" Non finished her breakfast and then got up to get dressed.
Zechs looked grateful "thank you Noin" she only turned and winked at him.

"Master Quatre there's a call from colonel Une" Quatre looked up from his companies financial reports as one of the Maguanac soldiers Abdul ran into his office in Arabia. After Alice's suspicious questions, Quatre left the office in space and moved back down to earth so he could supervise, even though Rashid and the others could rebuild the gundams efficiently, they had helped him with Sandrock many times, he still felt still felt the need to be there for construction, or maybe it was to get away from Alice.
"Send her through" Quatre replied to Abdul and then faced his phone screen. A vision of Colonel Une came onto the screen, "it's good to see you again Lady Une" Quatre greeted.
"Likewise" Une smiled, but then sobered "However this is not a social call but a Preventer associated one" Quatre gave a confused look. "Our intelligence has reported gundanium alloy and explosives as well as other materials being shipped to an area near your location" Quatre looked scared, however Colonel Une took it as surprise and worry "I would like you to see if you can find out who is getting the shipments and try to find out their purpose". Even though Quatre was not technically a preventer, he did help financially and gave information on those he could get contacts with and he'd go on a small mission or two depending on if it was near to him and he had the advantage because of his status.
Quatre became pale how am I going to get out of this. "Uh, lady Une, there is no… need to, uh… get a hold of…" he stuttered, lady Une became curious.
"Quatre what's going on… are you sweating?" now lady Une was REALLY curious.
Quatre looked around his office "I… uh… I… um… well… you see… uh… we… I… um… uh oh".
Lady Une's eyes widened, "YOU'RE the one ordering the gundanium aren't you Quatre" she practically shouted. Quatre winced under the ferocity. "I can't believe you Quatre, why are you trying to rebuild the gundams, are you trying to start a war?"
"I'm not trying to start a war" Quatre defended "I just have a bad feeling that something is going to happen and when it comes we'll be needing them, as soon as there is no more use for them they will be destroyed" he promised.
Colonel Une was shocked, even Quatre who didn't know about the rumours going round Preventers about mobile suit factories and terrorist threats he still felt the gundams were needed, she wondered if he could sense the future or something. Finally she came up with an idea, "Fine Quatre, I'll turn a blind eye, but only because I know that something is up and because of your premonition" and with that colonel Une nodded and cut the transition.
Quatre let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and sighed, "that went better than I thought it would".

"We were too late" Spring, Summer and Autumn looked at the scene before them, police cars had taken residence at Relena's home and there were police and other people down on the car park, some police were going in and out of the manor.
Autumn looked worried "We'd better go, I don't want them thinking we had anything to do with this".
"You're right" Summer replied "there's no sense in getting caught before we find out what's going on, we'll just have to watch the news". And with that the three turned and left for the place they called home.

Relena woke up in a dark room, she was lying on a small cot that had only the thinnest of sheets and the room gave off a faint smell that someone had died in there. As she sat up she could hear something from outside the room move, like a chair, and then the door opened. The new light blinded Relena but the voice that spoke sent shivers down her spine.
"Well miss Peacecraft, nice to see you're awake" the man from the dark office appeared from the door and leaned on the doorframe.
"What are you going to do with me?" playing in politics for a long time gave Relena the strength to verbally fight back without fear in the voice and she was using all she knew to find out what was going on and what was going to happen.
"Touchy today aren't we miss Peacecraft, so as punishment, the Maxwell's will be the first to die." The man was about to leave when Relena cried out; he loved for people to suffer.
"Who are you?" she asked cautiously, no reason to get him worked up over nothing.
The man started out the door, just before he closed it, he paused contemplating the idea, "you can call me Eric" and he closed the door.
"Duo" Relena thought out loud "Hilde, Helen, I'm sorry".

"I can't believe we were too late".
"They probably sped up the mission when they realised that we were in the base looking at the data".
"They may have even changed the plans".
"Or put a trap in one of them".
"What do you mean Spring?"
"I mean they could have had one of the files show us a base that they have armed and ready to attack us if we get near".
"These guys are gonna be dangerous, we're not powerful enough to beat them ourselves".
"Are you suggesting that we're weak Autumn?"
"No, I mean that with all our power, we ain't gonna beat them".
"GREAT, NOW WE CAN'T EVEN LOOK AFTER OURSELVES".
"I DIDN'T MEAN THAT, THIS IS A WAR WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, THEY KIDNAPPED THE PRINCESS".
"WE HAVE TO ALL BE UNITED, EVEN WITH THE PREVENTERS".
"BUT ONE IS MISSING".
"AARRGGHHHH, A WAR IS ABOUT TO START AND WE CANT FIND HEERO".
"I wonder where he is, that b*st*rd"
"SUMMER COME ON WE'RE GOING".
"Going, where?"
"TO FIND THAT BLASTED BROTHER OF MINE"

(Next time on New Fate)
"DUO, behind you".
"Stupid women getting themselves into trouble like this".
"You wont win this".
"Looks like you got some nasty bruises miss Peacecraft".
"AMI".
