Snippers and exotic animals
Today I walk through the circus on L3. My next target is here. The gundam pilot 04. It sucks being stuck in this round about way. I wish one of these people would end it all for me. It's not what I want, but one has to do what they can to survive. But my client putting other's in harms way, that I can't abide by. Thank goodness I wiped him and his operations out before anything happened. You maybe wondering why I'm still taking the pilot out. You see I'm not, I want to meet the man I was supposed to shoot dead.
Once in the back I pause as a young woman sees me. I grab her and tell her shush. Just then I hear a voice and it says," Maybe you should take your own advice."
I laugh and say," Probably. But then it wouldn't have given me the satisfaction of meeting the man who should have been my target."
His eyebrows go up and I smile as I hold out a disk and say," This is a list of clients and groups who are bidding for my services to kill you and your friends. Some don't care about any other lives lost. Sorry but I won't sit by and let that roll. Like my last one he wanted you dead not caring who got hurt. But let's just say, a couple groups of corpses instead of an all out war. I'll take the blood on my hands. Ah, it's time for me to go. Hopefully we don't meet again Mr. Barton/Bloom."
After I run off I see the other pilot's. I jump on my bike and am gone in the night.
Trowa looks at the disk and Catherine. He sighs and says," She didn't... "
Catherine looks at me and says," No she seemed sad, remorseful. It was like she wanted someone to kill her, like doing this was all she was good for after the war. I wasn't afraid, there was no reason for it. "
Duo walks in and says," Hey Trowa what was up with the girl?"
I look up as Heero and the other's come in. I hand the disk to Heero and say," We need to get this to Une quickly."
Everyone nods. After Catherine and I do our bit I talk to boss and me and the guys head to Earth. Once there Lady Une awaits us. She then shows me a picture and says," (Y/F/N), considered to be one of the best assassin's during the war. No one knows who side she was on. But she was the best. Everyone still wants her skills. For her to come out and say she was supposed to kill you but not and give you a list of clients is surprising. But more so for these to be clients that have no care for other's that is surprising. She was known to be ruthless killing mother and even children. But it could also be speculation and stories too."
I nod and she says," We need to make more contact with her."
I stare and Heero says," Lady Une that is impossible. She came to Trowa not the other way around. Plus we don't even know if this is a set up!"
Lady Une opens the file and says," No this isn't a set up. Every person or group has been on high alert. She has it to where we can see how much they bid and what they want her to do. Many we have brought in. But we want her to work for us. Sally believes she's stuck in a round about until she dies. "
I jump in and say,"Catherine said something like that too! Something about a sadness and remorse that was in her movements. Or that sort. I don't understand what she meant though."
Une sighs and says," One who has remorse for their kills are the one's who are like Duo or Quatre. They don't want to but they know they have to. It wouldn't surprise me if she spent time at Hospitals, Orphanage's or even churches. She may even be someone we all know and don't know."
I finally arrive in Brussels pretty late. I walk to the Preventer's office and change. I take a shower cleaning out the dye and taking my color changing contact's out. I then walk out and walk to Lady Une's office to give my report. Once done she shows me to Trowa, Heero, Duo and Wufei. Quatre's there but he's not a preventer so I can't involve him in this. I lightly sweat and she says," For now I'd like you to help Trowa to make contact with (Y/F/N). We want her to become a preventer on the basis that we offer her Immunity. If she is a preventer we will up her to the boys level and still give her immunity."
I cough and say," Yes ma'am. I set to work with Trowa but I start hacking until I pass out. When I wake up. I see Lady Une, Trowa and Heero with my grandfather Doctor K. They all jerk as I sigh and sit up. Grandfather says," The last place you went had a virus set up. Your on medication to fight it but I think it's time to tell the full truth to me and the other's. I know your my granddaughter that much is given by the letter but there's more isn't there!"
I nod. Everyone sighs, I jerk my hand to my bag. Trowa raises his eyebrow and reaches for it. I tap the front pocket. He opens it and sees a bottle of dye a pair of contacts and a gun and knife. He pulls the gun out and says," Heero!!! Run ballistics on the gun see if it matches the one's from the bodies."
Heero nods as I fall forwards. Trowa catches me and lays me back down. My fever rises again and I turn over and throw up as Sally runs over. I smile as I sigh. I grab my bag and open the center pocket and inject the liquid from one of the vile into my system and sigh. Anthrax isn't a fun thing to deal with. I put the vile's away and sit as it works it's way through. I sit up slowly and sigh. I then say," That's better. Now what?"
Everyone stops and looks at me. Heero walks in and nods. I smile and say," It should match I've had that gun since I was 6-7 after my parents death. It's a relic so I expect it back in one piece Yuy."
He glares at me and I just smile. Everyone pauses and Une says," Your (Y/F/N) the assassin!!!"
I look up and hum as I nod in a way of saying yes. She rubs her nose and says," You can't shoot, your stealth skills and over all skills suck!"
I laugh and say," You believe they do because I've falsified them time and time again by choice. Being an assassin you need to know your body and know it well or it will stop on you and if that happens screwed. I purposely falsified my results to make sure no one knew it was me. Not because I didn't want to get caught. More because some things people don't need to relive. I made the gundams and made there foundations as a 7 year old child and I know how the war was and what it was like to be in the middle of it all. To be shunned and criticized because you made monster's. But I made the foundations for peace and to make sure nothing like that happens again. So when I found out through some back door friends of mine that people were trying to gain gundanium alloy and no one was paying attention to the amounts that something had to be done. But then I began to notice other things that people weren't not even the Peacecraft's or the Preventer's. I had many times to add people to the database because people were missing the signs. The last one I couldn't do because I may put blood on my handa and even during the war. But never once did I mass murder anyone. No children or families. I spent much of my time under a convent for a little while to find peace and guidance. It helped me find my path again. I had finally decided it was time to let other's help me and stop taking everything on alone. Which leads me here. Well in the end before I passed out I was going to ask to speak with you but you had left and then well the Anthrax poisoning. That's always fun!"
Gramps says," The gundams and all that crap I understand but this really!! "
I shrug and lean back and say," Until you see the big picture or put the lines together it won't make sense."
Lady Une says," Line's?? What lines?"
I smile and say in my bag there should be a device it's a detonator so be careful. They were trying to bury the city through it's sub lines and other lines like the sewers. I grabbed that sucker before they could detonate the bombs. I managed to undo all the one's I could find but I know there are more. I also know people will come after that baby."
Lady Une sighs and says," So you've been on the end of a huge ring before you realized it got too big."
At my nod she sighs as everyone groans. I sigh and say," Look I may not have gone the best way about this one case but the other's would have been more blood shed then I was willing to let happen. If it meant my job and other crap so be it. But I was not letting Gundams be rebuilt again. Not on my watch!!"
Lady Une sighs and nods saying," Not when you designed them to be used for good and peace than evil. I also see why during the war. But now we have to figure this out and figure out where to place you and with who and retest you."
I smile and say," When and where? I'll do the written tests now if you want and one of the boys can watch and time. I know Sally will want to keep an eye on me for a few hours till she says I'm alright."
Une nods and brings in 4 tests for me o do as she leaves and Trowa sits there with a timer. Trowa nods and I set off. Halfway through I'm on the last one. When Trowa says time I finish grading myself. Une comes in with Sally. Both take two each. Sally stares and says," There's nothing wrong. It's perfect."
Une nods and stares at me. Sally goes over my status and nods. Wufei drags me along with Heero to the work out area. I do my warm up motions and watch as the guys stare. I into my stance and we start our dance. In the end I had Wufei pinned and Heero halfway down. Une was shocked and pinches her nose. She then says," Well I've filled you to be a Captain and you will be given immunity but for now I want you under someone's watch and to move since you'll need to be under a small supervision I case your real identity gets out that you are (Y/F/N)."
Duo snaps his finger's and says," Why don't her and Trowa head back to the Circus. That way no one will know she just came here or who she is!"
Trowa then says," Perfect idea Duo!!"
I then say," I don't want to inconvenience anyone!"
Quatre then says," Your not. Trowa and Catherine's trailer has 4 rooms. I use one when I'm over there. The others and I will find you an apartment and move you and that stuff while you travel with them. Plus it gives us time to put everyone in jail and on trail and away from you. Plus allows us to track the others."
I nod as Trowa and I catch our flight to L3 again. Once there we see Catherine who takes us to the troupe. Catherine than says," You'll need clothes and stuff. Tomorrow we'll go into town. Tomorrow the boss is taking ideas from towns asking us to go to the next towns. So me and her can get her some clothes and such."
Trowa nods and says," Boss?"
She nods and says," He knows and is on board. You me and Marcus will do an evaluation on what she can do tomorrow too."
Trowa nods and opens a door and says," This is my room. The door right there will be yours. The one at the end is Catherine's and then the empty one."
I nod and Catherine says," When Trowa said you were coming I made up the room already."
I nod and go set up what little I had. I slip out my pictures of me my mom and my dad. I put my Rosarie over the photo. I put a small cluster of candles up and a journal and two other guns away. One under my mattress and the other in the drawer. I was just putting it away when Trowa walks in. He sighs and I smile. He pinches his nose and I say," 12 if your going to ask. But I only brought 2 just in case something happens."
He nods and says," Dinner's ready."
I nod as we sit and eat. Once finished I start cleaning up. Once finished I take both plates and clean those too. Wiping up the table. I then walk into my room and shut the door and journal. Halfway through the night I grab the gun and walk into the kitchen flickering the lights one aiming it. The man goes pale white as Trowa comes out and laughs as he says," Marcus be lucky it isn't loaded at least I think so. But why are you here at 3 am in the morning. Or where you going to play a joke on the newbie?"
As they look down in shame I shake my head and can't help the laugh that comes out of my mouth. Everyone raises an eyebrow and I shake my head. I walk into my room and put the gun away. I sit on the bed and light a candle and pray for these crazy idiots. I then blow the candle out and hold the Rosarie as Trowa opens the door. He pauses and watches me for a moment. When I open my eyes I blush and he says," They want to apologize, but if your busy?"
I shake my head no and we head out. I smile and hug them and they leave. I then go to my bag and bring back a box of tea and say," Since I know you haven't slept do you want a glass?"
Trowa looks over my shoulder and sees that it's just an earl grey mix he nods. I put the water on and take out two bags and the milk. I look over my shoulder to see his dark green eye. I stiffen lightly. Now that I really see him my heart races and I blush. I turn away quickly. But my gods his smell. I groan softly and go over to the stove to pour the glasses. I turn around to see him scrutinizing me. I hand him a glass and then reach for the milk and drink my tea. We then separate and go to our rooms. I throw my head into the bed and say," No no no. He's my coworker and babysitter for now!! Bad thoughts!!!"
The next morning I wake up to Trowa looming at me against the door frame. I notice he has a nice bruise and jump up saying, " Did I?"
He stares at me and then nods. I then pull him out and say," You should have something cold on your bruise then. I'm so sorry!!"
Trowa shrugs as Heero and Duo walk in. Duo then says," Man who hit you?"
I blush Trowa points at me. I then say," It wasn't on purpose! I just sometimes do it in my sleep without knowing I am."
Both boys sigh but Duo's trying not to laugh. I then say," Oh you want one to match Duo cause I won't stop there. It's not a laughing matter. I really had no intention of harming Trowa."
Trowa coughs and says," Catherine says to meet her with your wallet so you two can shop. Lady Une says," raise should be in your account too so do what you need to. Plus since you didn't use any of your vacation for the last few years you have a lot of over time to make up for so it will be a paid vacation leave. "
I nod and head over to meet Catherine. When we get to the main part of town she says," Do you like Trowa?"
I cough and say," What?"
She then says," Well I saw your reaction to him last night and you two don't notice but you watch each other a lot and I think you both like each other."
I pause and say," I don't know."
She looks at me and says," How don't you know?"
I look at her and say," I've never been around guys and never had a boyfriend or any encounter if we get literal. "
Catherine froze and said," Your a..."
I nod and she says," Well guess we'll need the bookstore today too. You do know a bout the body right?"
At this I nod and she smiles. Our first stop is clothes, we pick up some feminine items and pants shoes and that sort. Next we go get some fabric and stuff for a costume for me. We then hit the bookstore's with in the proximity and I blush. She got books on boys, romance and a few other things. I blush as we pay for them. Once done we head back to the caravan. I'm surprised to find everyone waiting on us. Trowa says," Today we are going to assess you to see where you fit for your cover here."
I nod as Catherine says," She should change first because she needs proper use of her legs and her body."
Everyone nods, and I run off and change into a pair of tight pants and a green tank top. When I grabbed it I was thinking of Trowa's eyes. Once done I put on a pair of ballerina flats. When I come back I slip my hair into a pony tail. Once done Trowa says,"Alright we want to test your flexibility."
I not and do a handstand and do a cartwheel and some flips. Everyone smiles and nods. Trowa nods and says next we are going to see how you fair on the wires and trapeze. "
I nod and walk up. I had done worse on missions so I passed easily. Everyone claps and I jump down landing on my feet in front of Trowa. He smiles and says," Well you can fit anywhere so, let's worry about that another time since you probably want to sit after Catherine walking you all over town."
I laugh and say," Don't let her hear you say that!"
He gives a snicker but hides it. We walk back to the trailer and I see Catherine putting stuff away. I slap her hands softly and tell her to sit. I put away the groceries and go to my room and put the other stuff away. I blush as I hand the bag to Trowa who goes into his room and comes back blushing brightly. We change bags and I go put my unders away.
I come back out and start on some sweets. Catherine walks out and notices me mixing and stirring. She looks over my shoulder and smiles as I stir the chocolate. She tries putting her finger in and I slap it away. I dip the spoon I was using in and shove it in her mouth as I grab another one. Once the chocolate is done I place it in the 8 sets of molds I had cooling. I then spoon it into the molds and drizzle white chocolate on top of it making truffles. One set I had rolled in nuts and so on. I then take a box out and start setting them in. Once done I had a set for Une, Trowa, Heero, Duo, Quatre, Wufei, Sally and the rest of the troupe. When Trowa comes back in I see him with Wufei and the other's. They see the boxes and my smile. I giggle at their faces and hand them a box. Quatre opens his and says," Truffles."
He slides one in his mouth and moans. I giggle as he hugs me. I smile and hug him back. Trowa then says," They found out your real identity. So you'll be here for a bit until they can keep an eye on making you safe. Or you can stay depends on Lady Une and what you choose."
I nod and I notice Trowa look like he's going to frown but he keeps his poker face on. I then hand another box to Heero and say,"For Lady Une."
He nods and salutes me. I giggle and say," Well I'm off to give the rest to the troupe. Trowa yours is hidden in the freezer while I have Catherine's. But she saw me making them earlier so I'd hide them."
Trowa laughs and nods. I walk out leaving them alone.
Duo then says," How is the new couple doing?"
I bonk him on the head and say," We are not a couple. She's just staying here."
Heero then says," You two seem close and you watch her a lot more than before and not just because she's your ward."
Wufei then says," Sounds like Trowa has a crush on this one. We can't let her run too far away guys."
Everyone nods and I snag my box of chocolate's from Catherine. She pouts and I say," She made you a box, these are mine."
She smiles and says," What's wrong?"
Heero says," Trowa has a crush on the new girl. So we want her to stick around."
Catherine smiles and says," I have a feeling she likes Trowa too. She's never had a boyfriend or anything so she doesn't know how to come out and say it. We got her a mess of romance books. Books on guys and other junk. The poor girl blushed like there was no tomorrow. She's a sweetheart so I don't get how she could be like you guys describe."
Duo smiles and says," There's things people don't show."
We all nod at that as the door opens and Marcus brings her in. We jump up and he says," One of the tent poles snapped and she pushed me and Maurice out of the way and it crashed down on her."
I rush him to lay her in her room. Catherine comes in and wraps her up. I sit next to her and notice I want to grab her hand. I walk out in a rush and slam my hand against the side of the trailer. I sigh and say," I swear if this is foul play they'll wish they were dead."
Duo and the other's nod. I hear a raspy groan and run inside to see her hazy and a little out of it. The doctor comes running in and does a once over since I wasn't moving. The doctor sighs and says," You may have a small concussion and some nice bruised bones. Maybe some small hairline fractures but nothing more. Your lucky, but all I can do is give you some pain meds and say bed rest and tons of it."
She nods and I say," Can she sleep or wait a couple hours?"
The doctor says," Wait a few hours and if she's still not right call me again. She may need to go to the hospital if she's not okay after a few hours."
I nod and the doctor leaves and I sit next to her and she listens to me talk. After 3 hours she falls asleep and I let her sleep. Later Maurice and Marcus show up. The door opens and she looks at us and smiles. Everyone jumps on her and she says," So what happened I remember being in the tent to give the other's the chocolate I made and then that's it?"
Everyone pauses as I call the doctor again. I then say," The circus tent came down on top of everyone you pushed Marcus and Maurice out of the way. It came down on top of you. Don't you remember? "
She goes to rub her head and winces in pain and the doctor says," Not the best idea to do that. You have a slight Amnesia. But let's go over this. Name?"
I say,"(Y/N)."
He says," Job?"
I say," Preventers. "
He says," Home?"
I say,"Brussels."
He looks up and says," She's fine just doesn't remember the beam hitting her. Not a big deal, some people don't. But if she gets worse she'll need the hospital . But I don't think she's the same girl this guy was telling me about that he was looking for. He said she was wanted and all, highly doubt their the same person!"
Heero, Duo and the other's froze as the doctor walks away after the diagnosis. We look at each other and nod. I then say," I'll stay watch over her tonight just in case."
The other's nod and set up in the spare room. I watch over her until I hear something shatter in the kitchen. I look out the door to her room and sigh seeing Quatre bonking Duo. When I turn around I see the gun pointed at her and grab hers and pull the trigger. The two men are dead and the one tries running but Une takes his legs out. I smile as she jerks up and says," Trowa why do you have my gun?"
I smile and say," No reason go back to bed."
She nods and smiles as she cuddles under the blankets again. I wish so badly to join her but I lift her and set her on my bed and sleep on the floor I didn't trust hers with the broken window and all. I smile as she hugs my pillow and relaxes. We drift off and I just smile.
The next day I wake up to a body landing on top of my own with a thud making contact with my chest. I see (Y/N) sit up with a groan, her face buried in my chest. I blush and she looks at me, finally fed up I pull her close and smash her lips against my own. She groans softly and then Catherine throws the door open. In 5 seconds flat she's sitting on the bed looking innocent. I growl and Catherine just cocks her eyebrow walking out.
(Y/N) jumps up walking to her room and changes. She then bounces out and smiles as she sets the table. Duo then says," Lady Une says we round up the rest so in the next couple days she'll be taking her back and (Y/N) will start her missions with Wufei, Noin, Zechs and maybe Heero here and there. But she says her missions will be longer than ours so yeah."
My eyes widen but I keep my face calm. Being the one who doesn't show emotions is easy enough. But she-(Y/N) drives me insane. But in a good way. So I cock a smirk and grab an apple waving as I walk out. I then hear her huff and I raise an eyebrow as I see Catherine plating things up. Catherine glares and I grab my plate taking a couple big bites and going.
Both girls groan and (Y/N) grabs me and drags me to the animal tent. Before I can say anything she kisses me and says," You know when did you become the sniper and I became YOUR exotic animal that needs to be tamed?"
I smile and just kiss her again and say," It doesn't matter. But you belong to me now!"
She just laughs and says," Of course love, wouldn't have it any other way."
