I’ve got nothing to say, except that GW doesn’t belong to me, so standard disclaimers still apply.

The dark angel set the bombs in the lab, after gathering all the information he could get from its computer system.  He had seen all the monstrosities that they had done to the innocent humans.  No one should have done these sorts of tests to others.  It was inhumane.  It reminded him of the tests that he had seen in his previous life.  The things that he had seen, done by his fellow dark angels and by other sick creatures, had sickened him.  His reputation had been based from the stories that the light angels had heard, something that was falsely pointed to him.

            Satisfied that everything was set, he left the lab the same way that he had come.  Invisibly, he stealthily crept out of the base, making sure that all the participants were all inside.  Standing a few miles from the base, he pushed the detonator.  The base blew up, and with it, all the evidence of the experiments.

            With narrowed eyes, he spoke.  “No more ‘tests.’”   He smirked and disappeared.

 

            Relena sat with the others, a worried expression on her face.  It had been nearly two weeks since she had last seen her beloved.  During that time, she had learned how to change back to her original color, though it was painful.  She was thankful to Heero; even though they were physically apart, their connection was still there.  He had taught her how, taking most of her pain upon himself when she tried to undergo the change.  He had been present when she had broadcasted that she, as the Vice Foreign Minister of the ESUN, was fine and will be resting from her ‘ordeal.’  The only times that he closed the link between them was when he was in a mission.  Relena knew it was to protect her and keep him focused on his mission.  But that didn’t mean that she didn’t miss him.  She did.  A lot.  It felt like the time she spent in her previous life.  It hurt her when they separated her from him.  And she knew that it had hurt him, too. She never wanted to repeat that ordeal ever again.  Ever.

            “He’s fine, ‘Angel.’”

            Relena shook herself from her reverie and looked up at Meiran.  “I know he is.”  She sighed.  “It’s just that I can’t help it.  He’s my soulmate.  You know what I mean.”

            Meiran gave a nod.  “Yes, I do know what you mean.”

            Relena saw the Chinese girl gaze wistfully at her husband, and didn’t comment upon it.

            Milliardo, who had overheard the conversation, spoke his say.  “Forget him.  He’s not worth your thought, Relena.”  A fleeting emotion passed through his eyes, which Relena saw and understood.

            “Stop it!” Relena stood up and faced her brother.  “You don’t understand him, then and now.  He may be the greatest dark angel, even surpassing his father, but he is as pure as me.  All the debauchery, all the rumors, they were all false.  You just saw the surface, you didn’t see the soul.  Don’t compare him with his father.”

            Milliardo had had enough.  “Relena, stop it right now.  This stuff about us being angels in the past is just that.  If I was your brother in the past, as I am now, then I’m in firm belief that what I did then was right.  Separating you from Yuy was the right thing to do.  Then and now!”

            Milliardo was thrown to the wall, hard, by an unknown force.  Hard enough to feel pain, but not enough to have his skull fractured.  The others gaped in surprise.  Relena swirled around and ran toward the door, throwing herself at an invincible figure.  As she made contact with her beloved’s flesh, he became visible.  He wrapped his arms around her, letting her sob on his shirt.  He glared at the dazed man on the wall, kept there by his own power.

            “You went too far, Zechs.”  He saw the older man’s beloved move, and froze her with his glare.  “Don’t, Noin.”

            Noin hesitated, but realized that even she couldn’t stand a chance against the boy’s anger.

            Heero returned his gaze to his beloved’s brother.  “I had thought you would stop being pigheaded, but it looks like I was proven wrong.”  Prussian blue met ice blue.  “If I were you, I would forgo having this topic ever again, or else your relationship with Relena will become nonexistent.”  He smirked.  “By both our choices.”  He finally relented and let the older man down.

            Milliardo gasped and put his hand on his heaving chest.  He glared at his rival but turned them to his younger sister, who had quieted down, and yet still keeping her face on his rival’s chest.  He didn’t say anything, but it was enough for Heero.

            Heero turned to his two comrades.  “If you want, I can have that talk with you right now.”

            Wufei straightened from his perch on the wall.  “You found it?”

            Heero nodded his head.  “And then some.”

            Relena raised her head.  “Mamo-chan…”

            Heero gazed at her.  “Don’t worry, angel.  Trust me.”

            Relena smiled.  “I do.”  She stared intently into Prussian blue eyes and found something to reassure her.

            Heero kissed her on her forehead then turned to immediate business.  “Let’s go.”
