Well, Victoria did fix Heero. Who knew that she's spent most of her unlife studying medicine and anatomy? I sure as hell didn't. Though, I guess it makes sense. How else would she be able to do some of the things she does with that power of hers?

When she fixed him, I had to look away. The last thing I saw was her parting his skin and reaching in like he was made of clay. That is so not right. No one should be able to do that to a human being.

A few minutes later there was the sound of hands being wiped on a cloth.

I glanced back to see Victoria cleaning off her hands on an old towel. The towel was white at one point. Now it was red.

"All fixed, including the leg. He's as good as new."

I guess I should be thankful to the Tzimisce bitch. Really I should. However, past experience has taught me to be wary. "Alright, now what?"

She smiled and shrugged. "Oh come now Mr. Maxwell. Do you not trust me? After all, I did just do you a great service."

"Yeah, for a price. Let's not forget about that."

She laughed at that, "Ah, of course. You're expecting me to go mad scientist like so many of my kind have a tendency to do. "

There was a knock at the door. Yeah, we were in the office. Despite Wufei being thrown out of it the other night, it was remarkably intact. I was surprised when I first saw it.

The door opened to reveal Quatre with a small carrying bag. He gave us this cheery, obviously forced smile. He wasn't any surer about Victoria that I was. He set the bag down on the table. "There are a fresh set of clothes in here for you Heero. We figured that you didn't want to go around in what Sally had issued for hospital clothes."

Very true. Sally's idea of hospital clothes was generic grey sweats. I even had to suffer through them.

Heero nodded as he got up from where he had been laying on the couch for Victoria to 'operate' on him. He dug through the bag and laughed when he pulled out a pair of tight ripped jeans and what seems to be his typical black mesh shirt. How many of those shirts does he have? Not that I'm complaining. Hell no, I love to see him in them. I just wonder if he owns any other shirts. Part of me noted that he was going to go commando under those pants. Now that I could really appreciate.

Quatre ushered Victoria and I out so Heero could change. Okay, so I can see chasing Victoria out, but why me? What, was Quatre afraid that I'd jump his bones and never let him out? Okay so the thought had crossed my mind. So?

A few minutes later Heero walked out looking like one of my favorite fantasies. Well, one of my recent ones anyway. The one that involves Heero and I locked in the office going at it like rabbits on every available surface.

Me? Sexually frustrated? You better believe it. Damn it. I seriously need to get laid.

Victoria accompanied us down to the bar before splitting off to go somewhere else. I lost sight of her after a few moments. I don't know if that was a good or a bad thing. It sure as hell made me uneasy.

I still wasn't sure how to take the new turn of events with her. Something was going on. I just didn't know what and that made me uneasy. Okay, paranoid. But then again, since when was I not paranoid in this city? I was surrounded by a bunch of vampires that I didn't know. Some, I'm sure, would love to either dissect me or kill me. Or hell, maybe some of them want me for their own personal sex slave. Either way, this place was testing my nerves. The only good things about this place were Heero, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei.

Speaking of which, where was Wu and Tro? Quat and Heero were with me but those two were nowhere to be seen.

I turned to Quatre, "Hey Q, where's you two significant others?"

Quatre frowned a bit as he looked around. "I have no idea..."

If Quatre didn't know and I didn't know, I have this sinking feeling that we should find out.

Deathscythe must have agreed with me once again because it was off like a rocket. That thing sure did like to dash off to who knows where at the slightest hint of danger.

Heero and Quatre must have felt it because they both looked worried. Hell, I was worried.

It came back a few minutes later. It swirled around us and tugged us in one particular direction, back to the basement. Why the hell are we going back downstairs?

We followed Deathscythe past the clinic and down the tunnel farthest to the left. It was practically pitch black in here. I felt Heero tug on my braid. "Let me go first, I can see in the dark."

I felt his hand slip into mine. Then I felt another tug on my braid.

"That's all and well Heero, but I can't see in the dark either."

Oh, it was Quatre on my braid this time. I swear everyone assumes that it's a leash.

"Hn."

I could have laughed.

Heero led the way down the tunnel till we felt it branch off. We waited a moment as Deathscythe raced down one then the other. When it came back, it led us down the right fork in the tunnel. All to soon we were coming up on distant lights.

We cautiously approached the end of the tunnels and tried to stay out of the line of sight. What we found was definitely cause for a moment of stunned silence.

Deathscythe raced out into the cavern, whirling about. In the cavern was what looked like an entire science lab. Currently it looked like there was no one home. I'm betting this was the Nosferatu haven. That would explain where Sally got the machine to test Heero's hearing.

We wandered into the cavern. If this was the Nosferatu haven, then they definitely won't be back for a while.

Why did Deathscythe lead us down here? Weren't we looking for Trowa and Wufei?

Something caught my attention in the corner of my eye. I turned to look and found a book lying open. A breeze from Deathscythe had ruffled the pages. I walked over and started to read.

'Stage one is complete. Trowa Barton contacted us for information. It was just as they predicted. We asked for his blood in exchange for information. It was a success. They will be thrilled.'

Who was 'they'? What the hell was this?

I turned the page and read a little more.

'Setback, they went to the Lasombra for help. He asked for the books in exchange. He does not have them yet. There's still a chance'

I felt a chill run though me. What the hell? It sounds like they had everything planned.

'They failed to retrieve the books. The Gangrel frenzied. However the beast is now deaf. He will be the easiest target now'

I could feel the color drained from my face. I slammed the book shut and gripped it in my hands. "Guys? We need to go see Milliardo. Now."

Heero and Quatre looked up from where they were looking around.

"Why Duo? What's wrong?"

I drew in a big breath. "I don't know yet. We need to talk to Milliardo."

I guess they caught my urgency because next I knew; Heero and Quatre were both holding on to me and racing back down the tunnel.

Finding Milliardo was easy enough. Thankfully Treize and their usual groupies were with them.
I few rushed words later and we were in his office. I handed him the book and told him what we found. He flipped through it and came to stop on the passages I had read.

A few moments later saw him passing it to Treize. Milliardo was stone faced. The only thing that gave away his anger was his eyes. They were intense.

Treize read over the same passages before snapping the book closed and setting it down. Une tensed as Treize let off a soft growl. "This is an outrage."

Noin glanced between the two men, unsure of what exactly was going on. "What is sir?"

"The Nosferatu were in league with someone in the most dishonorable of plots."

Apparently when Treize is upset his speech suffers. Well, if you call getting more wordy suffering.

"The only question is who were they working with?"

"I'm sure if we read more, the book will tell us. Or we can interrogate the Nosferatu."

I winced as I watched them talk. "That might be harder than you think."

That got both of their attention.

"Why is that Mr. Maxwell?"

Milliardo sounded suspicious. I didn't blame him. "We sort of had a run in with them earlier. To put a long story short, Johann taught them a lesson."

That got a frown and a raised eyebrow out of the two of them. "What exactly do you mean Mr. Maxwell?"

Great, now I had Treize pushing the point.

"What Duo means, is that Johann used the powers our clan is so well known for. I am afraid that if you want to talk to them, you will have to find someone to put them back together again."

Quatre to the rescue!

"I see."

I couldn't tell if they were unsettled by the news or annoyed. Damn it, they were hard to read.
"Have you seen Trowa and Wufei around anywhere?"

I looked at Heero. I had nearly forgotten that we had originally been looking for them.

"Yes, as a matter of fact they are talking to Ms. Welshman."

For once Une didn't sound like Ms. Lets Get In Your Face.

After we finally left the office, we went searching. Soon enough we found them sitting at the end of the bar talking to Mandy. I was amazed to note that Ms. Doom and Gloom was smiling.

As we approached, the smile was quickly replaced by its usual doom and gloom look. She fell silent as the guys turned to watch us get closer.

Quatre quickly situated himself between his boys and smiled. We were all happy to see them fine and well. Especially Quatre.

I had to smile.

The rest of the night in Elysium went off without a hitch. For once we escaped the night without any more life threatening run-ins after the first one of the night. Now if we could the life threatening run-ins all together, I would be happy. Scratch that, I'd be the luckiest man on the planet.

We made it back to Cloud Nine with a few hours to spare. This was a first. What were we going to do now?

Heero slipped into my room after me and shut the door and locked it.

I gave him a curious look. My curiosity was thrown aside when I saw his face. Hello lust, meet libido.

He grabbed my arm and pressed me against the door as he took my breath away with a fierce kiss.

A few moments later we broke apart so I could breath. And breath I did. He left me breathless. I felt hands tug on my shirt.

I grinned as I tugged on his in return. Moments later I had his shirt off of him. I took a moment to stare at that wonderful broad chest of his and practically purred. That chest was all mine and I couldn't wait to taste it. I dropped the shirt to the floor and kicked it away as I pulled him back in for a gentler kiss. Moments later we broke apart again. I stared into those beautiful cat eyes and saw my own lust echoed back. It's great to know we were on the same page.

Another kiss and I was pushing back against him, forcing him to back up towards the bed until his knees hit it and he fell back, taking me along with him. I laughed as I fell on top of him. His arms slipped around my waist as he rolled us over. I was on bottom now.

He propped himself up on his hands over me and stared down at me for a few moments, a feral grin on his face. It sent shivers down my spine. I'd never seen such a wild, lusty grin before. Talk about a major turn on.

He shifted his weight to support himself on the other hand and used the now free one to tug on by braid. "Let it down."

I eagerly undid the hair tie for him. Most of my past lovers liked using my braid for a leash. I was thrilled to find out Heero wasn't like that. A few moments later, my long chestnut brown hair was fanned out around me. The look on Heero's face made me melt. I was going to have so many marks in the morning that I wouldn't be able to hide them. To hell with hiding them, I'll show them off proudly.

Things started happening really fast after that. First our pants disappeared, then my boxers. Heero had been commando under the jeans. Some digging around in the bedside drawer for lube, I guess someone thought ahead. He positioned himself between my legs and lifted me up. I felt him slip a slick finger into me.

Oh My God. I moaned softly as he continued to prepare me for what was to come.

I whimpered. "Please... Heero."

I guess the begging was all he needed. I felt his fingers leave and felt something larger press it's way into me. God, I think I found heaven.

Soon he was quickly seated all the way in me and started to move slowly in and out. I felt a hand stroke me in time with his movements.

I moaned as he continued at a steady pace, speeding up slowly. By the time he was pounding into me I was screaming his name.

All too soon I felt like an explosion went off. He grunted as he came inside of me before collapsing on top of me. We shared a passionate kiss as we relaxed.

Yeah, I was now sticking and messy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Sleep found us soon after.

Heero woke up his usual two hours before the rest. We spent the time cleaning up and taking a shower together. Shower time is now my new favorite pastime.

We went down to the second level while waiting for the others to get up. I was surprised to learn there was a kitchen on the second level equipped with a chef. It's been forever since I've had a decent omelet.

Long after Heero and I finished off our breakfast and Heero had disappeared to feed his blood need and return, the rest of our little dysfunctional group showed up.

The moment Quatre spotted us he turned beet red. Both Trowa and Wufei had this cocky, shit eating grin on their face. I was suspicious.

"So Duo, you're a bottom huh?"

I choked on the orange juice I had been drinking. Something like that I would have suspected out of Wu, not Tro.

Quatre averted his eyes and fidgeted a bit.

Heero looked amused by the entire thing. "Yes, he is."

I tried to look scandalized. "Heero! Don't give the vultures anything to feed on!"

There was a snort from Wufei. "Oh don't worry, you gave us plenty to 'feed on' last night."

Now it was my turn to blush. I set down my drink and crossed my arms. "I don't know what the hell you're talking about."

"Oh really? Does 'Please... Heero...' ring any bells? Or how about this, 'Oh God yes Heero! Right there!'

I covered my face with my hands. Damn you Trowa. Damn you Wufei.

Glossary Time!

Vicissitude: The fun little power all Tzimisce have that allows them to play with flesh and bones like clay.

Character Spotlight!

The Five Scientists - What can I say? They make the perfect Nosferatu. There really was no choice. It had to be them.

Sally Po - For her, I could see two options, Ventrue or Tzimisce. I picked Ventrue because I already had a few powerful Tzimisce characters and not many Ventrue. I think it works in the long run. She could have also been Tremere, however, I had my reasons for not doing that.
