Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ The Truth of the Forgotten Identity ❯ PART IV ( Chapter 4 )

Then she came in. She brought her head up to say hello with a smile on her face but she was struck speechless.

 

“Viktor..?” she whispered.

 

The whole room seemed to be confused. What was even more confusing was that she was looking straight at Heero. Trowa, Wufei, Duo, Quatre, Lady Une, and Sally all looked at Heero in confusion. Heero's expressionless face was staring at the woman who came into the room.

He simply stated, “You must have me confused with someone else” in his monotone voice and then turned his head to Lady Une.

“Can we get on with this?”

 

She knew it was him, and also knew that he had said that for a reason so she went along with it, for now. They all then ignored what had just happened and went on with the meeting.

 

“oh, yes, of course,” Lady Une said and then began to hand out booklets while everyone was taking a seat. The two soldiers remained stationed at the door.

 

“For those of you who do not know,” she motioned to the guest from Russia “This is Princess Valentina Svetlana Krasinsky of Russia.” Quatre had already known who she was and by the looks of it, he was the only one.

“I had no idea that King Leoniti had a daughter.” Wufei added with slight sexism.

 

“Yes, well, while the pretty boys of Russia go have their fun, I'm doing all the actual work, as you can see.” Valentina was obviously a smart girl with the cunning to prove it.

 

“If you take a look at the booklet in front of you, you will see areal shots of the forest just north of Saint Petersburg. For the last several months we have been looking at this area and there seems to be a group of people forming there. They seem to be meeting there, but not regularly, or in some sort of pattern. Lately there have been some threats upon the royal family and we believe this is where it is all coming from. We have had reports of rebel activity going on in the town of Toksovo. What we are asking the gundam pilots to do is dig up whatever you can find about this area and report to me. We can't take action now because we have not been able to find the source of all this besides rumors.” Lady Une then sat down and Valentina spoke.

 

“I know this seems so much of me to ask of you gentlemen, but the little military agents we have are at all ends of the country patching up the lose ends. The people are the most important thing to this country and they have been poorly treaded in the past, unfortunately. So it is my duty to make sure they trust the new royal family, and that they are happy. I heard that you men are the best at what you do and is the best that I require to get things done properly for my country. I understand that some of you have been working for the Cinq kingdom, which greatly pleases me. The princess Relena is an icon to my family and my country in that we are hoping to bring to our people what she has done for hers. If the people know we have good relations to the Cinq Kingdom, I feel it will bring us all closer together, and closer to peace.” She smiled, full of hope.

 

“That shouldn't be a problem. It's not like it's something new. We've been doing this kind of work our whole lives. I know I'd be glad to help” Quatre was most certainly on board , then he added, “What about you guys? Don't you agree?”

 

“Oh ya! Definitely!” Duo said with a big smile.

 

Trowa and Wufei nodded while Heero seemed to be very silent and hadn't even looked at the booklet.

 

“Oh c'mon Heero, It'l be fun!” Duo thought Heero was just being stubborn.

 

“FINE. I'll do it.” He sat there with his arms crossed.

 

“Oh thank you so much! You really have no idea how much you are helping out.” Valentina was smiling but thinking at the same time why he was acting this way. The all got up from their seats and then went out the door.

 

Heero was walking down the hall to the door to get out of the building. The others were far ahead of him and he was in a bad mood already. He knew this day was going to be bad. Why in the hell does this shit have to happen to me? Why can't people just leave me alone and let me be? This won't end well. I wonder if I'll even get out of Russia today.. then he felt a hand grab his arm and then he was against the wall in the dark closet off the hallway he was walking down. He was staring down the barrel of a gun.

 

“What the hell is this bullshit you're pulling?” it was Valentina and she seemed angry but almost in tears at the same time, “do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you? How many times I sit there and stare at the sky wondering if you're even still alive?” she slowly put the gun down. Now usually nothing can catch Heero off guard, but she was certainly not your average girl. She most certainly did catch him off guard and surprised him as well. His eyes were wide open, then he calmed down and his expression looked as if he was apologetic.

 

“Val, I'm sorry, but I have a new life. After I left, I got too used to my code name and the way I had to change to be in the war.” She was in tears and her head was down and her hands were covering her face. Heero was holding her arms as if to lift her back up to speak to her.

 

“You never contacted me after you left, or even came back when the war was over with! Do you hate me that much? Your father loves you. Just because you got in that fight doesn't mean to never come back to the country!” Heero was speechless. He had changed so much and just seeing her, he missed her, he missed them, missed it all.
