Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It's not a nuclear bomb, but there is a regular bomb. They have it off site, about three hundred yards from the house, but it is still strong enough to destory the house." Zechs informed Une.

"Is Fire angry with me for leaving her alone on Mars?" he asked softly.

"Actually, I prefer them when I don't get shot, but I guess that's wishful thinking, now," Duo said, making a face. "I say we figure out where the bomb is first so they can't go and blow it on us before we take them out. Unless leader boy upstairs has the detonator..." He shrugged his good arm. "Or, we meet up with Heero, two of us go for the leader, and two of us go for the bomb. That way, Trowa and Zechs are still back at the shuttle with Sally so that nothing will happen to the hostages."

Duo made sure not to look at Quatre when he remembered Sally was at the shuttle. He was not going back now.

Zechs nodded and stepped into the cabin. "Winner, Chang, Maxwell, Yuy, the bomb is not a nuclear warhead, it's 300 yards from the house, very noticible."

Hearing Zechs, Quatre nodded. "Heero, please take Wufei and dismantle the bomb, no casualties will happen." the blonde then looked at Duo. "You're with me."

"Roger that," Heero said. He left the dummy Zero, not even bothering to close it, and headed for the location Zechs had told them about. He would meet Wufei there instead of going to the palace just to go looking for the bomb again.

Dorothy smiled, a sly expression even in her nice moments. "Ah, Miss Relena... it's so obvious why the people love you so very much. I would think you're looking forward to seeing Heero again, hm? I hear he hasn't been watching you as often lately."

If there was something Dorothy was truly excellent at, it was information gathering. While she didn't outwardly advertise any ties to anyone, Une had come to her more than a few times to find out rumors. While much of her information was nonsensical, such as which politicians were having affairs with their secretaries and interns, some of her rumors did point the Preventers in the right direction... as one had with Epyon de Telos on Mars.

Mariemeia didn't turn away Relena's hug. It hadn't been easy for her after her rather public debut with her grandfather just over three months prior. Even having spent most of that time closed up in a hospital and then on Une private estate while recovering from the gunshot wound, she was still persona non grata in public opinion. Her cousin's biting wit and ability to say the worst things at the worst times certainly didn't help. It wasn't that Dorothy was mean, she just merely didn't think about others perhaps as much as she should. If anything, the blonde was surprisingly matronly around Mariemeia at times, and often spoiled the girl on shopping trips when left alone with her like an aunt would with a favorite niece.

"Thank you," she said quietly so only Relena could hear. The girl's confidence had been torn down dramatically after the conditioning her grandfather had put her through was broken. She was trying to rebuild her entire self-image, now.

"Then let's go now Duo. This needs to end now." Quatre said with a worried tone to his voice. He swallowed to fear he had and took a deep breath. Everything was going to be okay. Heero and Wufei where going to disarm the bomb, thank Allah it wasn't a nuclear one, and then Duo and himself where going to take out the enemy.

Maybe he should have sent Duo and Wufei to disarm the bomb, since Duo was hurt. He bit his lip and fidgeted a bit. Then there was that whole bit with Trowa, did the taller man hate him now? He fidgeted a bit more. He didn't even noticed Duo talking to him.

Zechs sat in pilot cabin of the shuttle, with a book in hand, it was the only thing to keep himself calm. At least Noin knew he was alright. He shut the book with a snap and left that cabin, going into the passenger one. Walking over to the door, he stood by it, watching out the window for anyone who wasn't part of their crew.

"Be careful you two." Wufei nodded and headed out of the castle to meet up with Heero. It was more time efficient for the brown-haired male so it was obvious that was the path he would choose. Nearing closer to where Wind had told him about, his dark eyes scanned ahead, looking for his newest partner in this mission.
