Resident Evil
by Snow Tigra and Chibi Shi-Chan
Part 1
*Preventers Headquarters*
Duo drummed his fingers on the desk as his other hand
moved the mouse, selecting the last of the playing
cards and dragging it over to where it belonged.
Another card blinked into view, the last of the pile.
He let out a loud sigh as he realized it didn't help
him at all, he'd lost the game. Closing the solitaire
program he sighed loudly and leaned back in his chair.
Glancing around the office his eyes fell on the desk
across from his; his partners.
"Heero, is it time to leave yet?" He half-whined.
"No." Came the low voice. Heero sat at his own desk
with his laptop closed and pushed off to the side. A
large stack of papers sat in front of him and his eyes
were scanning the words carefully while a red pen was
held tightly in his hand. He was either editing or
signing paperwork, or he could have been playing a
game of connect the dots for all Duo knew. Heero
always gave all the work in front of him his full
attention.
"There's nothing to do around here." Duo mumbled,
glancing back at his own screen, debating if he should
try the game again.
Heero glanced up from his work and his eyes locked on
Duo's full in-box. He frowned. "You could always do
your work."
Duo snickered. "Yeah, and then I'll fall asleep at my
desk again and get yelled at. I'll get it done,
eventually. Besides, have I ever missed an
assignment?"
Heero didn't answer, he just looked back to his own
work. There wasn't an answer, Duo was right, he never
missed an assignment, he just waited until the last
minute to do everything. A true teenager at his best.
With another sigh Duo turned back to his computer and
was about to click on the internet icon, intent on
spending the rest of his free time surfing the net,
when he saw a mail message blinking at the top of his
screen. Clicking on it he saw it was from Lady Une.
After the Marimeia Wars had ended the Preventers had
grown quite large and now filled a tall skyscraper not
too far from the Sank Kingdom. Rather then using a PA
system or even hiring people to run up and down the
stairs delivering messages, the company had agreed to
use an instant message server relaying messages
instantly.
Duo opened the message and scanned the contents. It
was sent to him but included Heero's name as well.
Nodding to himself he sent a quick affirmative reply
and closed the program.
"Heero, we're being called up top."
Heero responded by setting down his papers in the
folder and tucking it away. Grabbing his uniform's
jacket he pushed the chair in on his desk and followed
Duo to the elevator. The two rode the elevator up to
Lady Une's main office on the top floor, Heero
slipping on his jacket so he looked presentable and
Duo without his, he'd left it hanging on his chair.
When they reached the top floor neither were surprised
to see Quatre and Trowa there waiting, Wufei entered
from the stairs a moment later. All walked up to Lady
Une's fancy oak desk and waited silently.
Lady Une sat comfortably in her padded chair, her hair
hanging straight around her head. Her eyes moved over
all five boys and then she leaned back in her chair, a
tired look on her face.
"You're all aware of the terriforming project which begun
on Mars after the wars, correct?"
The boys nodded and Trowa frowned slightly. "Weren't
Noin and Zechs went to help." It was a statement, not
a question, but Lady Une provided an answer anyway.
"Yes. We have been receiving steady reports from them
on the progress but the last report was late and
there hasn't been one since." Reaching for a
controller on her desk she clicked a button and the
video screen across the room lit up. All five turned
and watched as the gray screen fuzzed with static.
"There's no image?" Quatre asked.
"No, just audio." The volume control lit up at the
bottom of the screen and soon Noin's voice could
clearly be heard in the room over the thick static.
But many words were fizzed out.
"We need...immediately...hurry!! Planet is..."
The message cut off abruptly, the screen going blank.
Lady Une played the message one more time then shut
off the screen, setting the remote back on her desk.
"I want you five to head over to the terriforming
project and find out what's going on. You are the
best qualified for situations of this kind and most
others are already on other missions. Wufei, Sally is
currently away but is on her way back. If you like I
can assign you a temporary partner for this mission."
Wufei shook his head. "There are five of us, any more
may be more hindrance then help."
"Very well. Can you all leave immediately?"
"No problem," Duo said with a grin. Heero nodded, a
short movement. Quatre and Trowa's eyes met for a
second then Trowa nodded back to Lady Une and Quatre
voiced his affirmative.
"Then please leave immediately."
Having received their orders all turned and left the
room. As they stepped into the elevator Duo leaned
against the wall and jabbed the button for the bottom
floor several times as if he thought it would make the
doors close faster. Glancing from the button he
noticed a slightly amused look on Heero's face.
"What?"
"You got what you wished for, something to do."
Duo groaned and closed his eyes, running his fingers
through his bangs. "Man I hope I don't regret saying
that!"
