Childs Revenge

Chapter 2

February 10th

The halls of Preventer headquarters were still buzzing with the unexpected kidnappings of its top agents. For the last two weeks, since the kidnappings, every Preventer agent had been on high alert. Whoever had masterminded this had struck at the core of the Preventers and everyone was just waiting for word from Lady Une to strike back. But no more then the missing agents' children and the growing tension was threatening to explode soon.

As the three agents walked the halls, heading towards Lady Une's office, the air itself seem to vibrate with the growing violence surrounding them. Still, one couldn't help but stare at the striking trio. Their physical beauty was a testament to their fathers' genes and the deadly stillness that circled them spoke of superior training. Young they may be, but you knew, just looking at them, that they weren't ever to be crossed. That was a mistake made only once.

Walking slightly ahead of the other two was Raven Maxwell-Yuy, a rich chestnut-brown braid hanging over one shoulder; eyes covered by her standard lavender-tinted glasses. Most knew that Raven didn't really need glasses to see, but her eyes tended to unsettle people if she wasn't wearing them. Having gotten two different eye colors from her fathers added to her overall beauty, but the way she used them unnerved most folks. Her heart-shaped face, a gift from Duo, was unsmiling as she glared at the world around her. Raven's stubborn chin, a gift from Heero, was clenched in pain and anger as she fought to keep from screaming for her fathers, wherever they were.

Damien Merquise-Chang was just behind Raven's left shoulder. Tall, like his father, Zechs, but with the Asian facial features of Wufei, Damien attracted alot of attention. From both sexes. Ice blue eyes stared calmly out at the world, hardly ever betraying any emotion. Only those who were close to him knew how to read him. One thing people noticed about him right away, was the length of midnight black hair flowing down his back; intermingling with the black were streaks of the purest white-blond. People were forever surprised when they learned that this was Damien's natural hair color and not a dye job.

Walking just behind Raven's right shoulder, next to Damien was Colton Barton-Winner, heir to one of the richest men on earth or in space. Those who knew Colt found him to be an interesting blend of both his fathers. Soft auburn hair with blond highlights, combined with the gravity defying bangs from his father, Trowa, framed a face that greatly resembled his other father, Quatre. His eyes, which could flash aquamarine or deepest emerald, could burn a person with passionate fire or freeze a soul with blinding cold, depending on his mood. Colt was the storm around Damien's calm and the clown to Raven's seriousness.

It amazed everyone around how well they worked together. The three seemed to always finish each other's thoughts, sentences and actions. Their fathers would have said it was because they had grown up together, but others would say it was as if they were one soul in three bodies.

As the trio passed a small group of new Preventer agents that had been discussing them, they turned as one, staring. It was as if the three knew that they were the focus of the discussions and gossip going around. The shiver that went through the group had nothing to do with the chill in the building. It was a chill that didn't fade until the departing trio disappeared into Lady Une's office.

I know just how the others feel, Sally thought, as she watched the gossiping agents try to throw off the icy shiver that just passed them. The upcoming confrontation between Lady Une and Raven Maxwell-Yuy wasn't something the good doctor was looking forward to. Raven was way too much like her father, Duo, when it came to pushing Une's buttons.

"So, whats up, Une? Any word on our fathers?" Raven asked, as she flopped down in the nearest chair to Lady Une's desk.

Giving the young woman a glare that, unfortunately had no effect on Raven, Une nodded to Sally Po to turn on the wall video screen. The somber face of Relena Peacecraft appeared as Sally flipped a switch.

Maybe there has been word aout our fathers, was the first thought that ran through each of the young agent's minds. Please, oh please, let them be alive and alright.

Gazing at Raven, Colt and Damien, Lady Une spoke, "I have an important mission for all of you."

"You're sending us after whoever took our dads?" Damien asked, trying to keep his voice calm despite the hope growing inside him.

Colt had been watching Relena's face on the vid screen, so he knew from her expression that the mission Lady Une had for them didn't involve their fathers.

"You aren't sending us to look for them, are you." Colt stated.

Raven turned wide eyes to Colt, then Relena and finally, Lady Une. Stabbing the woman dehind the desk with a look, that any of the five former Gundam pilots could have told you was classic Heero Yuy, she whispered coldly, "You can't be serious? We have been forced to sit on our asses and twiddle our thumbs while our fathers are missing, maybe de... dead, but now, you want us to go on some mission!"

"Stay calm, Raven." Damien said, hoping to stop the fireworks before they exploded.

"I don't think so...Little Dragon!" Raven exclaimed, smiling slightly when Damien winced at the hated nickname.

Turning back to Lady Une, Raven asked again, "Are we or are we not going after our fathers? Or are you sending us on some bullshit mission that is a waste of our time."

"I expect you to perform your duty... as Heero and Duo would!" Lady Une snapped back.

Raven jerked like she had been slapped, then with a snarl, started towards the woman in front of her. Only when both Colt and Damien grabbed her arms, did she stop. The fear and anger that had been building for the past two weeks was threatening to unleash itself on Lady Une.

Damn, Une should know better then to provoke Rave like that. She has got too much of Duo in her, Colt thought, as he tightened his hold on the furious woman.

"Rave... shit, woman... calm down, will ya! You are only making a bad situation worse!" Quatre and Trowa's son yelled, struggling to hold on to Raven.

Damien looked at Colt as if he had grown a second head. Did Mr. Lose-his-temper-at-the-drop-of-a-hat just tell someone else to calm down, he thought as Raven tried to jerk herself from his hold.

"Everybody, stop!" came the voice of Relena, "Raven, Damien, Colt... we know how important it is for you to find your fathers, but right now this mission needs your full attention."

Shrugging off the hands holding her, Raven took a deep breath, "Fine!", then pulling her glasses down to peer at Lady Une. "But if our fathers are lost because you pushed us onto another mission... well, you and I will have a chat."

To everyone in the room, it felt as is the temp just dropped by about 20 degrees.

In spite of the shiver running down her back, Lady Une responded without emotion, "Two of our field agents failed to report yesterday. They were investigating a gentleman named Philip Jayden. We have reason to believe that he is trying to create a new mobile suit. To sell or use for his own reason, we don't know yet. That is what the missing agents were trying to discover."

Only Damien and Raven saw Colt start, as if surprised. Both looked at him in concern, but didn't say anything because of the slight shake of the head he gave. 'Later' he mouthed silently to his partners.

Lady Une stood and handed Damien a thick folder. "This is everything we know about Philip Jayden as well as your mission details. Sally and I will leave you to read through this, then we will all meet in the conference room later this afternoon." She and Sally Po then left the office as the vid screen went black.

"Whoa, man... the boss lady giving up her office to three little grunts like us. Must be something major." Colt said as he threw himself down on the couch.

"Okay, Winner, what gives? Something about what Une said bothered you, so you might as well spit it out." Damien growled, letting go of his calm face for the moment, as he leaned on the corner of Lady Une's desk.

Shaking his head at Damien, Colt replied, "It wasn't so much what Lady Une said as the name, Philip Jayden. I remember hearing it somewhere, but not sure where."

"Is that all?" Damien asked, keeping a wary eye on Raven, who was glaring at Lady Une's chair and clenching/unclenching her hands.

"Hey, when I remember, babe... you wil be the first to know." Getting off the couch and crossing to where Damien was, Colt threw his arms around the taller man's neck, leaning in to capture Damien's lips in a passionate kiss. His lover responded for a moment, then pushed out of the embrace with, "Not here, you baka!"

"I see so much of their fathers in them." Lady Une sighed, as she and Sally Po walked away from her office, heading to the conference room. At times the similarities between the parents and the children had seemed rather eerie to Une, but she supposed that was how genetics worked. It took the best and worst from both parents and created something new, but still similar to the parent. In the case of Agent Maxwell-Yuy, it worked a little to well.

"As good as they are, Lady Une... they are still very young. Add to that the fear concerning their fathers disappearances and it is no wonder that tempers are showing." Sally sought to caution her boss, fearing that Une meant to push matters.

"Don't worry, Dr. Po. I was simply wondering if now would be the time to introduce them to Heero's project. It may be of great help to them."

Sally stared at Lady Une in amazement.
