(I have asked Dearka for Gundam Seed and… he laughed at me… so I thought hey I'll take Gundam Wing and you know what Trowa said… he said "no one shall see a Gundam and live to tell about it"… I gave up)

Warning… contains flashback

C.E. 70

Kira looked about, the colony was beautiful; it was easy to forget there was a war going on… it was also easy to forget to look where you were going, the collision was un expected and Kira almost fell over, (key word almost) but he straightened himself; unfortunately the other guy was headed for the fountain, with reflexes only a coordinator could poses Kira caught the man by the wrist

"Are you alright?" Kira asked the man as he helped him balance, the man was a little taller than Kira and was about five or six years older, he wore a black mechanics type outfit with the sleeves rolled up and he had a black baseball cap on as well, the oddest thing about the man was his hair which was a light chestnut color and tied into a braid that reached down to his knees (if not longer)

"Thanks kid" the man said "looks like I owe you one" with that said he patted Kira on the head, turned and headed towards the motor pool, Kira blinked and Tolle gave a low whistle

"Well that was weird" Miriallia said Kira could only give a small nod and mummer 'uh huh'

With Duo

Duo had successfully made it to marganrates back door… okay so it wasn't strictly a back door it was more like an exhaust outlet. After Duo disengaged the security he smirked

"Man their security is worse than Oz… I don't know whether to be relieved or disappointed"

A little while later

The room was dark the light of the computer screen illuminating the figure of the rooms only occupant

"Let's see" Duo mumbled switching through the files "coordinators? Genetically modified humans… unmodified ones are called naturals…" scratching his head he looked at the screen oddly "what's the difference?" Not able to figure it out Duo shrugged and continued his… browsing (hacking) I guess this proves I'm in another universe pulling up another file Duo grimaced, he had found their war history

Too many people die in wars; pulling up more files his hands stilled "well, well, well. What have we here?" he queried, impish smile growing on his face, "five little war machines that I could use for parts" he sang slightly maniacal and this time Heero won't beat me to it! Fingers gliding over the keyboard he opened another file and his smile grew wider "and I think I just found a new hiding place for Deathscythe"

205 A.C.

"Miss Relena do you think that the latest disappearance of the Gundam pilots will change your decision on the building of Gundanium structures in potentially dangerous areas?" a reporter yelled out of the assembly, Relena smiled slightly; this was first in many conferences to be held in the face of the recently missing Gundam pilot, Duo Maxwell.

"While it is true the project is up for my approval I see no reason why the disappearance of the pilots has anything to do with it" she said

"Will Agent Wind be going to investigate this matter?" another reporter asked

"Agent Wind will be held back in case of an emergency" said one lieutenant O-Conner who was the new face of Preventers and therefore handled the media for them

"Are you saying that there's going to be another war?" yet another reporter screeched; the whole room began to buzz with questions

Sally Po shut down the monitor, turned in her seat and proceeded to stare down one lieutenant O-Conner, who was now finding the desktop to be extremely fascinating

"You know you almost sent the public into a panic…" the lieutenant nodded "you realize that was a rookie mistake"

"Yes ma'am"

"And you're lucky Agent Fire was there" O-Conner nodded again; Sally sighed and rubbed her forehead

"We can't have these kinds of mistakes… especially in public" another sigh "therefore I will be demoting you"

"Yes ma'am" as the former lieutenant left Lucrezia Peacecraft walked in

"Bad day?" she asked handing her friend a cup of coffee

"Horrible day" Sally said excepted the cup "I don't know how Trowa could deal with it"

"Neither can I" Lucrezia shrugged "but I guess that's why he's so hard to replace" Sally nodded

"Too good at his job"

"I wonder how their all doing"

"Knowing them they're all stuck somewhere and having the time of their lives" Lucrezia chuckled and then sighed

"I just hope they come back soon" she said

"Yeah…" Sally breathed looking sadly into her cup; Lucrezia put a comforting hand on her friends shoulder

"You really miss him… don't you?"

"Yeah… the jerk had to do that right before he left" they both had a laugh before Sally lost herself to the memory

It was a lax day and Sally and Wufei were both going through reports in their office. It was silent but peaceful.

"Sally" Sally jumped as Wufei broke the calmness; she turned in her wheeled chair to look at him, he was standing, staring at the desk but not really seeing it, he took a breath and spoke again "I'm going on a mission…"

"A mission… why haven't I heard about it?" it seemed only right, she was his partner after all

"It's a solo mission" Wufei said calmly

"Does this mission have to do with the disappearances?"

"Yes I am to investigate"

"When do you leave?"

"Now actually"

"Oh" Sally looked down suddenly wishing he wouldn't

"The only reason I'm telling you this is because I need something to come back to" she looked up shocked; he had moved over to her chair while she wasn't looking and he was now standing in front of her; staring into her eyes with an emotion she couldn't quite discern. But the surprises didn't end there; Wufei suddenly bent down, hands on Sally's armrest, and he planted his lips onto hers in a soft and welcome kiss.

After a few second Wufei broke the kiss and walked to the door stopping only for a second he said

"I will hear your answer when I get back" and with that he left Sally staring at the elegant ring that he had slipped into her hand while kissing her.

"-lly- Sally"

Sally blinked and noticed Lucrezia looking at her

"You okay?"

"Yeah…just a little lost I guess" Lucrezia smiled slightly

"Come on Lady Une will want to see us soon" Sally nodded Wufei… you better come back to me soon.

C.E. 70

It had been a little harder getting a truck and getting it to the ship (christened the Archangel) than expected; but he managed and was ready to check out these new war machines. Now sneaking is all about the art of not being noticed, of course there are plenty of ways to do that; one of them (though not the best way) is to make sure no one sees you, another way is to act like you work there and hope that no one tries to get you to do something, and then there is the one where you make yourself look like you already have something important to do

So Duo grabbed a tool kit (didn't really matter who's) greased his arms then wiped his face and made a dash for the first mobile suit. Setting down the tool kit he made to climb in but was stopped by a loud voice

"WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!" Duo groaned inwardly of course someone had to show up he put on his best devil-may-care smile and turned to face his opponent, tall, greying un kept hair, glasses, slight muscles; nothen I can't handle " THAT is a top secret weapon not a JUNGLE GIM!"

"I know what it is pops" Duo said

"THIS SUIT IS TO BE PILOTED BY TEST PILOTS ONLY IT IS NOT A CHILDS PLAY THING!" geez this guy's got a set of lungs "YOU NEED AUTHORIZATION TO EVEN INTER THE COCKPIT!"

"I have authorization pops" Duo smiled, shoving a parchment in the older man's face; the man spluttered but began to read

To whom it may concern

Dear sir or madam. This young gentleman is one Special Agent Duo Maxwell

He is authorized to test/pilot any suit he deems necessary, failure to allow this will result in court-martial and in some cases death

Sincerely yours

Lady Abigail Une

The man stared wide eyed at the paper for a few minutes before handing it back quickly and saying

"My apologies Commander Maxwell" Duo smiled, quickly taking the letter back.

"Not a problem" he said before scampering into his new toy, something nagged at the back of his mind though I thought the paper said special agent… not commander…
