Losing My Sight: Intro

There was a call, and as always Duo was the first to the phone. He picked it up and looked at the caller id carefully."Heero," Duo yelled, It's Sally, should I answer it?"

Sally, who is the leader of the Preventers, only called when there was a mission, which meant Heero had to leave.

"Yeah, she's probably calling about a mission for us," Heero yelled back. He hesitated, then answered, "Hello?"

"Duo, this is Sally," Sally told him, "I need to speak to Heero."

"I'll get him," Duo replied. "Heero, Sally needs you on the phone!"

Upstairs, a very disgruntled Heero, who didn't want to be annoyed at the moment picked up the phone. "I got it Duo!" He sighs and then puts the phone to his ear. "Sally, do the Preventers need me again? I thought I told you that I didn't want to fight anymore. After the war, I felt so empty, because that's all I had been trained to do is fight. Now you want me to do it again?"

"Heero, it's a dangerous mission, I would've asked Wu Fei, but it involves his family, and it's best not to get him involved or he could be killed. OZ Federation forces are going to try and assassinate the emperor of the L5 China Colony."

"What do I need to do?" Heero asked. "I mean this sounds like a rather easy mission, I mean it's like sending Special Forces to handle a shoplifter!"

"Your mission is to destroy the OZ forces in charge of this assassination. They are planning to do it at a ball that the emperor is having, celebrating his twenty years on the throne."

"Shouldn't you ask Duo? Heero suggested, "Stealth operations are his forte."

"This doesn't sound like you, Heero, usually you are jumping for a mission," Sally commented.

"Duo is upset because I get all the missions, even though he would be suited for it," Heero told her.

"Well, you are going to need him for this mission, you work well as a team, and you are the best operatives we have," Sally explained.

"When do we have to be at headquarters?"

"At 22:00," Sally informed him.

"Thank you, Sally, we'll be there," Heero said slowly. He hung up the phone and walked down the stairs. He sat on the couch by Duo and sighed.

"How long are you going to be gone?" Duo asked, looking over at Heero, with his sad, violet eyes. He looked down, not bothering to look at his partner, playing with the end of his braid.

"Oh, a few days," he said silently, "But I'm not going to spend it alone, you're coming with me."

He instantly looked up at Heero, "Really? You mean it? I get to go on a mission for once?"

"Yep," Heero said, trying to ignore the excitement in his eyes, for if he looked at him, he would be drawn in by his beauty. He stared into his deep violet eyes, longing to stroke his long chestnut hair he keeps in that three foot braid. Secretly, he longs for him, but he doesn't know if Duo feels the same way.

"Heero," Duo said, trying to get him out of his daze. "Heero, let's go pack." He tugged on his arm and he finally shook off his stare and followed him. "Is this a stealth mission?" Duo asked as they arrived in the bedroom.

"Yep," Heero replied. "It's about 13:00 now."

"Let's go suit up!" Duo suggested.

"Hn," Heero said. So, they decided to get ready.

"Ok, Heero, let me read the checklist! M-16's?" Duo asked.

"Yep," Heero said.

"Preventers uniforms?"

"Yep."

"Your laptop?"

"Yep."

"Thirty-two pistols?"

Heero eyes him trying to count through them all, and he smiles as his eyes meet Duo's face once again.

"Yep."

"Condoms?"

"Ye.....for what?" Heero asked suspiciously.

"For the barrels of our assault rifles," Duo giggled.

"Yeah, they're here," Heero told him dryly.

"There's bound to be water on a stealth mission," Duo explained, "We can never be too careful, you know that. So, first aid kit?"

"Duo, do you mean the one for gunshot wounds or papercuts?" Heero asked.

"Don't make fun of me, take them both!" Duo grinned.
