Hide your face,

so the world will

never find you...

Relena sighed as she read over the latest missions and reports under the Preventer files system. She frowned as she found nothing on Orestes [1] and cursed. She had made at least a dozen reports on Orestes personally and she knew that Preventers Persephone, Athene, Eriu and the late Preventer Nemesis[2] had made at least a dozen on him as well.

"So...this is the game you want to play, huh Une? Making sure I can't continue the Hunt?" she whispered, narrowing her eyes at the screen. Her hand automatically stopped scrolling down as one word caught her eye.

"Active?" her eyes narrowed even further and she clicked the file open. She raised her eyebrows as she found it to be a report done by Quatre Raberba Winner and smiled a wistful smile. Granted she missed her only true companion in the business world but she could never go back, never.

She cursed again as she found the report to be a classified file and cracked her knuckles. Hacking had not been her forte but she was better than the average hacker, or at least Midii had always told her so. Midii. Relena could sense tears forming in the back of her eyes.

'No! She is NOT dead! Quit acting like she is Len!' her mind screamed and she immediately calmed down. Midii was alive and she would find her way home...she always did.

"Anything?" a female voice asked from behind her. Relena turned her head to see a medium tall blonde looking over her shoulder.

"Nothing as of yet Athene," Relena responded, continuing to hack open the file report. She paused momentarily to scoot over in her chair, allowing the blonde to gain access to a seat. The young woman took the hint and seated herself next to her friend. Each had half of the chair.

Athene was her codename, given to her for her art in prowess. Her real name was Adjani, however, a slight accident had given her an acute case of amnesia and she had forgotten her last name. The girls had given her one. Lukas.

"Man, it's like Une is trying to make it so Orestes never existed," Adjani commented, watching Relena resume hacking. A few moments later, an animalistic growl resounded from Relena's throat.

"What could I have possibly not tried?" Relena growled, glaring at the evil cursor, or at least evil to her. Adjani placed her hand around Relena's shoulders and smiled. Relena nodded and moved the keyboard to the blonde.

Adjani typed her first word in and the two waited with bated breath as the system checked the password. 'Access Granted' appeared on the screen. Relena looked at Adjani, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"What did you type?" she asked.

Adjani just smiled, "Quatrina."

Relena raised an eyebrow. "Come again?" she questioned, looking at her friend with an odd expression. Adjani merely shook her head in bemusement.

"That is the name of his biological mother. He may consider himself a test tube baby but he's most definitely not," she replied, leaving Relena in a stupor.

"How the Hell did you get that type of information?!"

"I worked with his sister Iria at one point; nice woman, but very talkative about her baby brother, as well as leaving medical files open," Adjani said with a twinkle in her eye. Relena smiled and nodded.

"I see, well, let's see what dear Quatre has, shall we?" Relena asked; Adjani nodded in agreement.

"Year AC 201.

This is the fourth year that my search for Miss Relena has failed. I am slowly beginning to wonder if she does not want to be found, should she still be alive; however, my search for Miss Relena will continue, even if it continues to be my own personal mission. In my heart, I know that Miss Relena would have survived, she is capable of surviving anything.

" However, I do grow even more worried of Heero. He is even more distraught than before. It seems that ever since Miss Relena went missing and presumed dead, his interest life diminished completely. I only hope that when I find Miss Relena, it will bring back the will to live in Heero.

"Quatre Winner - QW," Adjani read. She stole a glance at Relena and saw her face grim.

"So, he's been searching this whole time. Quatre, please, let this be," Relena muttered, closing the file. "That must be why this mission is still active. Mon Dieu [3]..."

"You've got some friends Len," Adjani stated, smiling. Relena nodded but a frown crossed her face as she saw an incoming message. Glancing briefly at the blonde next to her, Relena opened the message and found herself staring at a familiar face.

A Chinese Preventer officer was glaring at both of them with a frown upon his face. His black hair was pulled back into a short ponytail at the base of his skull. Relena groaned, someone up there enjoyed torturing her.

"Identify yourselves immediately," he commanded, continuing to glare at them. Relena smirked.

"Long time no see Chang Wufei, still have a grudge against the late Relena Dorlain?" she teased; however, her fun was shattered abruptly as Wufei's eyes widened in recognition.

"Who are you?" he asked again, somewhat cautiously.

"We are the Erinnyes [4], why not look it up?" Adjani snapped before terminating the message. "Jerk."

Relena stared at the screen in fear. "He knows....he knows Adjani! He's going to tell everyone!" she panicked but stopped when she realized that staying calm was the best solution at this time.

"No Len, I seriously doubt that, besides, who would believe him?" Adjani scolded.

---

"I'm telling you, Relena Dorlain is alive!" Wufei shouted angrily. "I know you know where she is so tell me!"

Lady Une looked at him and folded her hands on the table. "Mister Chang, please calm yourself. Now, first I would like to know where you came up with assumption of how Miss Dorlain is alive and then with the assumption that I have something to do with it," she stated, seemingly unphased by the officer's outburst.

Wufei merely glared at her, "I saw her."

This Lady Une raised an eyebrow at. "Excuse me?"

"I. Saw. Her."

"Wufei, she is dead. If you saw her then you must have been imagining it or someone has an uncanny resemblance to her."

"Erinnyes, who are they?"

Lady Une looked at him startled, his suspicions had been correct, Lady Une was hiding her. Granted he had never really been friends with Relena Dorlain, but he had always admired her resolve and never faltering determination and courage. He felt compelled to do this for Yuy as well.

"All right, you obviously did meet her, otherwise you would not have known about the Erinnyes." Lady Une sighed heavily. "First, Relena Dorlain truly is gone, at least the pacifist. The soldier Relena Dorlain goes by the name Lenrea Daniels."

Wufei raised an eyebrow at Lady Une for an explanation. He received one but not what he had expected.

"It appears that Relena Dorlain had been placed in a training compound after having been kidnapped and ended up killing two guards about five or six months later. Now, she goes by Lenrea and she has a four year old child."

A look of surprise appeared on Wufei's face as Lady Une mentioned Eve to him. She sighed in defeat. "I'll give you the files on all the members of Erinnyes."

"Who are the members?"

"Preventers Artemis, Athene, Eriu, Persephone and the late Nemesis. Lenrea, Adjani, Alexandria, Hilde and Midii."

"Hilde is a Preventer? Does Maxwell know?" Wufei frowned when Lady Une shook her head. "I would like to visit 'Lenrea' as soon as possible."

Lady Une nodded and scribbled and note to herself to inform Relena--no Lenrea that Wufei would be stopping by and to have the files on Erinnyes copied for Wufei.

'Relena--Lenrea....please forgive me' she thought as she watched Chang Wufei leave her office.
