Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Gundam Wing! Charl and unfortunaly Odessa however, are mine.

===================================

"Odessa, sometimes you just surprise even me."

Odessa looked at Charl curiously. "Hows that?"

Charl groaned. "Well for one thing. Odessa that WAS Duo."

Odessa smiled shaking her head. "No, it wasn't."

"Oh for cryin..so unbelievable! Braid or no that was Duo Maxwell. Didn't it ever occur to you that maybe he doesn't always wear a braid?"

Odessa paused for a moment to think. "......No."

Charl sighed. "Well? What are we doing here?"

Odessa smiled, handing Charl the form. Charl peered over the paper. "Wow, You really have to hand it to Relena, she's thorough."

He looked back up, staring at the humongus garage before them. "Just one question Odessa."

"Hmm?"

"Are you sure this is safe?"

Odessa smiled. "Absolutely!"

Charl relaxed.

"Not!"

"What?!"
Charl groaned. "Your not going to have me dress up as a daemon are you?"

"Oh no of course not! I was thinking OZ Soldier!"

"WHAT?!"

Odessa nodded. "I already signed you up! You start first thing tommorow morning!"

"Whatever happened to consulting me about these things?"

"Too time consuming. Besides, wer need someone to research the files on the pilots withen the enemy databases."

"Then why can't you do it?"

"Easy, I have to interview the pilots, and we still havn't found Duo, or Heero. Now come Charl! theres much work to do."

Charl groaned.

******************

They walked right into the large garage, Charl looked around in near amazment while Odessa walked straight ahead, smiling. It was then that Charl noticed a bald man with white hair and beard sitting atop a large piece of equiptment. Odessa noticed the man as well and looked up.
The man, finally noticing the two, waved. "Hey! you two! Your the new engineers arn't ya? Get up here and help!"

Charl stared at the man, finally noticing, the large piece of equiptment look like some kind of robot , man, of course, a Gundam.
Odessa wasted no time climbing to the top, Charl sighed, following, hoping that maybe if he was killed right off by the pilots for touching their mobile suits Odessa maybe..just maybe couldn't force him to join OZ.

The man stood up, nodding to the two. "My names Howard. Just a few ground rules here..."

Odessa squeeled. "Oh I've heard so much about you!"

"....Yea. Anyway just a few rules. Sandrock, Deathscythe and possibly Heavyarms you may touch. But I don't want to catch you anywhere near the Shenlong or Wing 0. That'll earn you a one way trip to the grave. Those guys refuse anyone but them touching their suits, it's not healthy to go against their requests.
I'm gonna start you on simple repairs and then if I like you, or the pilots like you we'll start on the real classified stuff. This heres Deathscythe. Needs a few basic parts installed. Well, I'll let you get to work, any questions?"

Odessa raised her hand.

"Yes?"

"Can we just have a peek at the Wing Zero?"

"No."

*****************

"Odessa do you even know what we're supposed to do?"

Odessa noddes as she banged her hamer down oppon Deathscythe's head in a random order. "Yep, repair stuff."

Charl sighed. "Do you even know WHAT we're supposed to repair? I mean look at you! Your doing more damage then you are repairs? Just what use is banging a hammer on it's head supposed to be?"

"Oh you'll be surprised."

"I imagine so." He stood up, walking over to his partner and nearly fell over when he saw the result of her banging.

"Odessa!!"

Odessa turned around with her hammer. "What?"

"What do you think your doing?!"

Odessa glanced at the head, which had taken the unmistakable form of an odongo haired sailor suited champion of justice. "I'm making repairs."

"Oh geez. That is NOT a repair!"

Odessa blinked beneath her sunglasses. "It looks better to me."

"Oh brother. Okay we're getting out of here before they actually see what you've done!"

He grabbed the arm of his partner, forcing her to drop the hammer as he dragged her off the Gundam. "Hey! I hadn't finished with the fuku yet!"

"Consider yourself lucky."

Howard watched the two leaving. "Hey! you can't go yet! Your shifts not done!"

Charl winced. "Oh uh...we're just taking a break!"

He made a U-turn, pulling Odessa towards the breakroom.

"Wow I wonder if they have donuts."

Charl sighed, letting go of Odessa. "We're not taking a break Odessa, we're getting out of here before they notice whats...Odessa?"

He turned around, slapping his forhead as he watched the Otaku duck into a room. "Why do I even bother? Odessa!"

He sighed, chasing after his partner.
Charl slowed down, finally catching up, amazed at the sight, Wing Zero standing in it's own private room. "Okay Odessa, we've seen Wing Zero, now can we go?"

"Oh relax Charl, I'm just gonna get a look inside."

"Odessa but..ju..."

They were both silenced by the sound of a gun clicking. A young stocky boy with dark brown hair stepped into the light, pointing it at Odessa. Odessa smiled. "Heero Yuy! Oh so nice, a pleasure! I'm Odessa King and this Is Charl Thatcher, we're reporters from epic post weekly..."

"Omeo O Korosu"

Odessa nodded adjusting her sunglasses. "Well yes..but we'd like an.."

The boy gave Odessa a death glare that made Charl shudder. Odessa appeared unphased as Heero prepared to fire before he was interupted by a bloodcurdling scream. Heero narrowed his eyes at the two, but apparently determing the scream to be more of a priority, he ran out of the room.

Charl breathed a sigh of relief, while Odessa once again began to approach the Gundam.

"Odessa, what does Omeo o Korosu mean?"

"Oh" She grabbed onto the Zero gundam, scaling upwards. "I think it's something like I will Kiss You or, Please take Care of Zero."

Charl groaned. "You know I'm not sure thats what he meant I think he...Odessa what are you doing?!"

She swung her legs into the cockpit, examining the instruments. "Oh relax, I just want to get a closer look."

"Thats EXACTLY what I'm worried about!" He grabbed onto Wing Zero also scaling upwards. "Get down there! You know what will happen if we're caught?"

Odessa shrugged. "Something about a brutal painful death. I wasn't really paying attention. Hey whats this button do?"

"NO DON"T TOUCH ANYTHING!"

Too late, the hatch began to close, allowing just enough time for Charl to drop in the cockpit with Odessa. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

Odessa adjusted her sunglasses. "I think I pressed the start button. Hold on, I'll try to fix it."

She pressed a random number of buttons. "Thats the auto-pilot Odessa!"

"Well now we know."

Charl banged his fists against the hatch as the gundam powered up, breaking through the ceiling and into the atmosphere.

*********************

Wufei and Heero ran to Duo's aid, guns & katanas drawn. The braided Gundam pilot was screaming, pulling at his hair. "What the Hell happened to my Gundam?!"

Wufei and Heero exchanged looks, finally the two jumped onto the Deathscythe to get a closer look. Wufei approached the head. His face contorted and he dropped his sword, starting to shake. Finally he couldn't hold it in and began to laugh.
Heero looked at the chinese pilot in curiosity then went to invastigate. When he saw what had happened he too burst into uncontrolled laughter.

Duo looked at Howard. "What did you do to my Gundam?!"

Howard scratched his head. "Well there were these two engineers, I uh.."

"You let them destroy my gundam?!"


Laughter was suddenly halted when a loud crash sounded from Heero's garage. Exchanging looks the three broke into a run, coming upon an emty room where Once Wing Zero was held. A brand new sunroof formed in the ceiling above.
Duo blinked. "Hey Heero, what happened to your gundam?"

Wufei smirked. "Maybe you should go out with deathscythe and look for it Maxwell. Then later you can take her dancing."

This made the two pilots only laugh harder.
Duo frowned, folding his arms and definatly not amused. "Yea laugh now Heero. But if it was the same engineers who 'repaired' my gundam. Just think what they'll do to yours."

This made all laughter cease as Heero suddenly took a more serious expression. "I'll inform Trowa and Quatre."

He ran out the door, gun drawn and looking to be prepared to shoot anyone who happened to get in his way.
