Oh stop yawning!

I left L4 with a lovely shade of blond hair and green eyes. Iria had everyone one looking for Duo Maxwell, not Kali Maywen. And wasn't she a sweet little thing? So soft spoken. No way she could ever be a cruel former terrorist. So I had no problems getting off the colony. I picked up a copy of a newspaper before leaving. Looks like the Winner heir was going to take an extended vacation on Earth. Good for him.
From there I went to L2. Yes, I know. What the hell was I thinking? Everyone thought L2 would be where I was. Right? Yes, except, they'd stopped looking after about two weeks. Only the Preventer known as Wind remained and I had business with Wind.
He was at the Space Port carefully watching all the arrivals when my shuttle finally docked. I expected that. Iria wasn't stupid; she must have guessed I was the one who left Quatre screaming. Naturally, contacting the Preventers and warning them was the first thing she did. Had Zechs not been at the port, I would have felt slighted.
Did I ever tell you how attractive Zechs is? Especially when he looks all worried and concerned. If I hadn't met Heero first. Doesn't matter. Duo felt those things. Not me. Not Shinigami. So I claimed my luggage and when he spent too much time staring at me, I flirted. He blushes real nice. The flirting convinced him I was a girl and his attention turned elsewhere.
This time I rented a house, under Kali's name of course. I made a few phone calls and found out my revenge on Noin was going to take longer than expected. That was fine by me. I could use some time to relax. The whole getting even thing was taking more out of me than expected.
For the next two weeks, I took my time preparing the bedroom for what I planned. Nothing really fancy; there were just a few items Noin needed to know about that Zechs did not. The thought of using a fellow Preventer twisted my stomach. Still after seeing what happened between Quatre and Trowa, I wasn't quite so upset.
I'd thought Quatre still had months, maybe even years, before he got as bad as he turned out to be. And Trowa! He didn't even try to stop the blond psycho! Maybe because he loved the real Quatre enough to risk his life. Probably thought his death would wake his lover up. It would have, I'm sure, but then what? In the end, two people would be dead.
I couldn't explain Noin's hate of me. Or her obvious disregard for my existence having any relevance or value. So, while I worked, I played the tapes I had "acquired" from Preventer Headquarters. Talk about your eye openers. Apparently, Howard and G had written reports about my "many talents." Of course the dear ladies took that to mean sexual talents. HA!
Before I joined Howard and G, they had tons of discipline problems. Workers fighting, stealing, and just general pain in the ass stuff. That's where my talents came in. See I can talk just about anyone into or out of anything. I eased hurt feelings and used my years as a thief to catch the guy stealing. Turned out he was selling the parts to feed most of his neighborhood. L2 has always been a rather poor colony.
My talent had nothing to do with sex. Hell G and Howard wouldn't have touched me with a one hundred foot pole. They respected me. In a strange sort of way, they loved me.
What in the hell am I talking about!!? They loved and respected Duo. Neither knew anything about me. Duo'd have spent the war in a mental ward if they had.
The tapes also hinted at the reason Noin despised me. She and Zechs went to Mars to start a new life and a new branch of the Preventers. They came back less than a month later. Why? Well, Miss Noin didn't say it in so many words, but I got the feeling Zechs told her about Treize. Those two were lovers.
I think what sent Zechs over the edge and trying to destroy the world was a combination of all that time spent in Epyon, learning the Romefeller Foundation had no intention of creating true peace, which meant all he'd done was for nothing, and Treize's refusal to stop them. That's a lot to take in such a short time. The death of his lover straightened him out, though.
As for why she couldn't stand me? Seems like Zechs once made a comment about how beautiful I am. So the bitch thinks I'm the reason her beloved Sank Prince can't return her feelings. Get a life girl! I've never so much as flirted with the man. OK, at the airport, but that was way after the problems started. Why do people blame the object of the feelings and not the one having the feelings? Human beings make absolutely no sense.
I listened to tape after tape. The whole deal was very thought out. Sacrifice me for the good of Earth and the Colonies. All of it was right there. Just what I needed to fix Relena. A little electronic equipment and I was set. Quatre's money certainly came in handy.
I spent a month in the house before the call I was waiting for came. Everyone makes a mistake sooner or later and Noin just had. That phone call I made on L4? It was to some old friends of mine. Duo's. Damn it all. Duo's. I couldn't afford to lose my focus now.
The men I talked to agreed to help me with Noin. She was as dangerous and unstable as Quatre, just for different reasons. Taking what she thought of as hers should prove interesting. So I did.
I gave the guys a few days to get her settled. Some things are worth waiting for. After the second call came, I knew we were ready. I sent a simple message to Preventer Wind. If he came to Kali's house alone, he would find what he was looking for. If not, he would never find it. Zechs would know it was the truth.
He came. Gun drawn, looking for a trap. But he came. Alone. I waited for him in the bedroom. Naked on the bed.
You should have seen his face when he kicked down the door to find me sitting there. First he looked stunned, then happy, then lustful. Finally, he got himself under control and started looking for any kind of trap. Of course, the bulge in his pants didn't go away.
Confusion eventually worked its way on to his face as he found nothing out of place. Just me, on the bed, waiting.
"What is this all about, Duo?" His eyes softened a little when he looked at me. Not with pity or even lust. It was kindness. Actual caring. It made him even more handsome.
"What is all what, Zechs?" I purred at him.
"The name is Wind," The tone was hard, but the look didn't change. "And why did you call me here?"
"Not wondering why I'm sitting on the bed naked?" I can be such a tease.
"I would surmise you are naked for the obvious reason. What I want to know is why?" Damn he's smart. Heero you have competition.
"Why do I want you? Why did I call you hear?"
"Yes."
I debated telling him the truth. As with Trowa, I didn't want to hurt him. But there were things he needed to know. Sighing, I pulled the blankets around me.
"It's a long story." I warned. "And it'll hurt."
"I have time," he whisper softly and settled next to me. "And I'm not afraid of pain."
So I told him.
