For once I was happy to see Elysium. Maybe now the teasing will stop. I hope so. I don't tease them nearly as bad as they do me.
We entered and branched off. Trowa mentioned something about a little pow wow with Mandy over some political issues. I'm betting what he really meant was 'Don't mind us, we're going to go snog each other's brains out in a dark corner somewhere.
That left Heero and I all alone to fend for ourselves. I vote we lock ourselves in the office and go at it like rabbits.
I felt a slight tug on my braid that pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked up and smiled at Heero.
"You were zoning."
I laughed. "Yeah, well I was just thinking about you, me and the office."
Heero shook his heads as he smiled. "Baka. Lets find a seat."
He started to lead me towards a corner booth. We sat down and cuddled up to each other. I could get use to this. I felt him stroke my braid and I swear was in heaven. So sue me, I love the feeling of someone stroking or petting my hair, it's just so soothing.
I felt so relaxed that I was nearly asleep. What can I say? It was that good.
"Interesting, I'll have to remember that trick."
My head shot up at the sound of Victoria's voice.
My reaction must have amused her judging by the smirk on her face. "Is there a problem Duo?"
I gave her annoyed look as I sat up straighter. "No, not at all." Yeah, sarcasm happens to be my favorite form of whit some days.
"Good, now if you will come with me, I have a few tests I'd like to conduct."
I winced. Why couldn't she wait a month or two, or an entire year? Or better yet, never. I let out a soft whimper and carded my fingers through my hair. "Yeah, yeah, I know." I gave her a suspicious look. "No surgery right?"
She smirked at that. "No surgery. "

We're back in the clinic. Again. Damn it, I've seen way too much of this place. At least it looked different this time. The mess was gone and the tables were removed. There were couches and cots and hell, even a lazy boy chair in here now. Now this looked cozy.
Johann was sitting in what looked like one of those really nice rolling desk chairs. He even had a clipboard. Huh, I wonder where this is going.
"Please, take a seat Duo. You too Heero."
Okay, she almost sounded pleasant. That's freaky. The world is ending now isn't it?
Heero pulled me down on to the cot next to him. Victoria waited for a few moments before talking again. "We want to see how far away you can be from Heero before he loses the ability to hear through you."
Okay, that sounded simple enough. "Okay? How?"
Victoria flashed us a fangy grin. "Easy. You and I are going for a walk. Johann will talk to us on this thing when Heero states he can no longer hear." She held up a walkie-talkie.
Does she even know how to use that thing? I'm betting not with how she was holding up. She was holding it away from her by the antenna with a look of annoyance on her face. Yeah, she didn't know how to use it.
Johann was holding his perfectly fine. He probably did know how to use his. At least one of them was up to date on modern technology.
Victoria turned towards the door. "Well? Are you coming?"
I sighed and gave Heero a 'Do I have to?' look. He rolled his eyes and gave me a slight not. Damn. I was hoping he'd say 'No Duo. Stay with me Duo.' Hey, it was wishful thinking on my part.
I slowly got up and dragged my feet as I followed her. We left the room and she shut the door. "Alright. Now, here's the simple part. I talk, you listen, and we wait for Johann to call on this... thing." She held it up in disgust. "Honestly, I have no idea how you mortals put up with this riff raff. I swear you fancy yourselves Malkavian or something by using these."
I had to snort at that. Apparently, she was one of those older vampires that kept up with technology enough to get by in the modern world.
She continued to ramble on was we walked further and further away. We were nearly to the top of the stairs when we heard static. Victoria jumped and it was all I could do not to laugh at the big bag Tzimisce being scared by a little noise.
She growled as she pushed the button on the side that allowed her to talk. "What?"
"He can't hear you anymore. Come back."
She grumbled as she turned around and marched her way back down with me in tow.
We got back there to find Heero and Johann conversing quietly.
"He stopped hearing you a few seconds before I called you and could hear you again the moments after you started heading back."
She nodded as she set the little radio down on a countertop. "Then I'd estimate maybe 30, 35 feet at the most."
I winced. Okay, that was a decent distance, but still, it wasn't very far.
XXXXX
A few more experiments and we knew more than enough about the limits of Heero's hearing. We can be separated by 30 feet, 32 feet if we really push it. His ability to turn up a sense lets him hear faint tones at the most. And we found out that if my ears are ringing, then so are his. Thank you Johann.
So, basically, we had to stick near each other. Hey, you won't find me complaining. Not at all. Nopes. I'm more than happy to stick near Heero.
Afterwards, we headed back upstairs. We got barely 5 feet from the door when we were pounced on. Literally.
There was giggling in my ear as I lurched forward. Someone had jumped on my back and wrapped their arms around my neck. I flailed around a bit before Heero steadied me.
"Relena, what are you doing?"
So that's who's on my back. Well that's good to know.
There was another soft giggle as I felt her slide off my back. "Just playing around. Things are going to get bad soon."
Her voice almost sounded childish when she said that. I turned my head a bit to see a small pout on her lips. For once she was lacking her usual sucker. I don't think I've ever seen her with out it. Well, excluding the time she threw that tantrum and who knows how many dollars worth of alcohol.
Then my mind registered what she was wearing. A short black mini skirt with belts hanging off it and criss crossing both in front and back. Her legs were covered in fishnet tights and she was wearing a black tank top with a tight mesh shirt over it. Around her neck was a black leather dog collar. Her hair was done up in a high ponytail instead of its usual hanging loose. She looked like some guys walking Goth wet dream.
She tilted her head to the side and looked at me with those big blue eyes of hers. They seemed to be staring past me at something. I looked back and say nothing, and then I heard a giggle again. She was holding her hands in front of her mouth and giggling. What the hell?
Heero just sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Relena, please play somewhere else."
She stuck her tongue out at him and then shook her head. "Nope. Dun wanna."
I shook my head. It was like arguing with someone's little sister. It was mind numbing and annoying.
"Relena! There you are."
I turned to see Hilde approaching us. Thank you God, we're saved.
She reached us in no time and walked right up to Relena. "What have I told you Rel? Leave them alone for Christ's sake."
Relena pouted and went straight into cute mode. Yeah, she had the big doe eyes going and the trembling lip. I wasn't buying it. Neither was Hilde.
"Relena Peacecraft, don't you dare pull that on me. I've known you for over 200 years. It didn't work then and it won't work now. Now pull yourself together and come on."
Whoa, wait. Peacecraft? Wasn't that Milliardo's last name? I glanced over to Heero. He nodded. I guess he could tell what I was thinking.
"So She and Milliardo are related?"
Hilde turned to me and gave me this, amused look. "Yes, they are. Brother and sister to be exact. As to how they ended up in different clans you'd have to ask Milliardo. Rel wont talk about it for some reason."
Well, you learn something new every day.
Hilde ushered Relena off with much fussing and protesting by Relena.
I turned to Heero and cocked an eyebrow. "She and blondie are related?"
He nodded. "Practically everyone in the city new that. They don't try and hide it."
Huh. Go figure. I shook my head. "Well I must have missed that particular memo then."

The rest of the night went on uneventfully. Well, except a minor fight between Dorothy and some random guy. I had to step in and stop her before she created a mess. Well, actually I was doing the talking, Quatre was doing the threatening posing. I guess she feared him now because she backed down quickly and was basically groveling to be spared before Mandy showed up and collected her wayward Tzimisce.
Before long, we were back at Cloud Nine and settling in for the day.
Heero found his way into my bed again. I was more than happy to have him there. We were cuddled up to each other when the sun started to rise and took us to dreamland with it.

Quatre Rebarba Winner- Why did I make him Lasombra? Well, think about it. Quatre is a natural born leader, can be sneaky as hell and I liked the idea of him commanding shadows. That and it presented the perfect opportunity to show of his more devious side.
Enjoy!
