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.”
