Last revised: 08/25/99 Last modified: 08/25/99 This teaser is in response to the recent thread about a *truly* evil Duo. ^_^ Sorry, I'm not up to writing about an evil Quatre, so I'll leave that to someone else. I don't know whether I'll continue this or not, but go ahead and enjoy! ====================================================================== BASTARDIZING DUO A Gundam Wing teaser by Madamhydra ====================================================================== Short Disclaimer: (Full Disclaimers at the end) Gundam Wing copyrighted by their respective creators and all distributors of their work. Used without permission. -------------------------------------------- In the darkened academy office, Heero typed the last two commands before erasing any trace of his presence, then logged out of the computer network. He pivoted in the chair and snapped, "Duo, what's taking you so long?" The pilot of Deathscythe shrugged helplessly as he chewed on his lower lip. "Hey! I'm not a super-hacker like you are, Heero! I'm getting there, I'm getting there. It's just taking me a bit longer than I thought...." "Duo, if you can't do it, just say so." "I can handle it just fine, but it sure doesn't help to have you breathing down my back! By the way, where are we headed next?" "Gillimont Academy, in Branmere City. I've already taken care of the registration." "God, I hope Relena doesn't show up. Damn it, I wish we had her intelligence sources! How the hell does she manage to keep finding us?" Duo glanced over at Heero who was scowling at the memory of his most recent confrontation with Relena. "I don't know. But if she keeps following us, it's inevitable that she's going to screw up our covers and mission sooner or later." "She's obsessed with you, man." Duo grinned slyly at Heero. "And I can see why." The Wing pilot glanced briefly at his lover and shrugged irritably, "At least you're usually semi-discreet. Relena doesn't seem to understand the concept." Duo raised his eyebrows. "'Usually semi-discreet'? Boy, talk about being damned by faint praise!" "It's true. And Relena's lack of discretion is getting worse every time she finds us. I thought she was a fairly sensible person when I first met her, but now...." He frowned as he remembered his last meeting with the Peacecraft. She had been strangely anxious, almost desperate. Heero glanced surreptiously at Duo. And her increasingly irrational hostility toward Duo was... troubling. Or was it irrational? Did she know about his relationship with Duo? That's seemed extremely unlikely. Duo generally managed to behave himself when Relena showed up. The Deathscythe pilot had given her no reason to think that the two of them were anything except comrades and perhaps casual friends. He had to admit that Duo had been acting very restrained -- for Duo, at least -- in the face of Relena's growing provocation. "She doesn't like me much, does she?" Duo drawled. "No, she doesn't." Heero turned his thoughts to more important matters. "Where's Wufei?" Duo shrugged as he continued to type. "I don't know. He has been gone by himself a lot recently. Extended surveillance, I guess. I can't think of any other reason he'd want to hang around Khushrenada." Heero looked strangely thoughtful, then abruptly shook his head. "Duo, aren't you done yet?" "Aw hell, Heero! Professor G wanted me to upload this extra virus and trapdoor file to the security network. It'll take just a bit longer. Why don't you go grab our transportation and meet me outside in five minutes, okay?" "Fine. Be there." "Yeah yeah...." Duo made an absentminded shooing gesture with one hand as he continued to type with the other. Once he was alone in the darkened office, Duo smiled to himself. (Poor Heero. He's probably wondering about Wufei now... wondering what Wufei's been up to... wondering where Wufei's true loyalties lie.... Oh Wufei, it wasn't hard to figure out what you've been doing with Treize Khushrenada. You think I can't detect the reek of sex that clings all over you when you come back from those solo missions of yours? I was gambling on Khushrenada's tastes when I leaked all that information about where you were and what you were doing. He could have killed you or fucked you -- either way, a loose end would be taken care of. But I'm glad it worked out the way it did. I do like you, Wufei, so as long as you stick to Khushrenada, you're safe from me, just as Quatre and Trowa are safe as long as they stick to each other. Faithfulness and monogamy have their rewards, right?) The Deathscythe pilot finished typing with a flourish and sent off an anonymous and untraceable email message. The message read: "Miss Peacecraft, I have received information that HY and DM will be in Branmere City within the next few days, most likely at one of the local academic facilities. Will notify you if I can determine which school. The most recent letter you sent to HY was never read because it was torn to pieces by DM in the course of an argument, one of several which show a disturbing trend. I regret that I must confirm your growing concerns about the unhealthy and abnormal relationship between HY and DM previously noted in my earlier reports. Per your instructions, in the course of extensive surveillance, I have observed several arguments between HY and DM which appeared to cause HY extreme emotional distress. Have been unable to determine the subject of these arguments, but the aggressiveness of these confrontations are definitely escalating to an alarming degree. In the most recent confrontations, DM has been observed striking HY severely enough to cause bruises and noticeable injuries which had to be excused to teachers and other academic staff as sports injuries, etc. It is unclear why HY has not attempted to retaliate in kind, although he clearly had both the ability and many opportunities to do so. HY appears to be taking inordinate amount of effort in concealing and denying the existence of any significant disagreements between him and DM." Duo smiled slowly. If that didn't bring a panic-stricken Relena running, nothing would. And sooner or later, she was going to snap and start throwing around wild accusations about Duo Maxwell. (He's mine, Relena. All mine. I won't let you have him. I could have killed you myself months ago, but I won't run the risk that you'd become immortalized in Heero's memory as some great shining ideal of peace. No way. By the time I'm through with you, Heero's going to think of you as a sexually obsessed and insanely jealous moron. I don't think he'd kill you himself, but he'll despise you for the stupid, arrogant bitch you are -- a creature worthy only of contempt. And since you've so conveniently made a habit of rushing after Heero, regardless of the danger, it'll hardly be a surprise if you suffer a fatal 'accident' during one of your escapades... will it? I'll be waiting for that moment, Relena. So please come for your darling prince and try your best to 'save' him from my foul, abusive clutches. Please do. I welcome your illustrious presence. And when you eventually start spewing your ugly accusations, I'll be all shock and injured innocence. After all, Heero knows very well that I've never laid a hand on him. Whatever bruises have been inflicted have been inflicted on me, by Heero himself. Poor forgiving Duo. Punch him, kick him, and he'll shrug it off for the sake of love. I don't mind the pain. Pain is good. Life is pain. And Heero's always much gentler and more tender with me after he hurts me. It's undoubtably the guilt, even if he would never admit it. You see, I know how his brain works. Heero's guilt for hurting me will make your allegations -- and by association, YOU -- so much more repellent to him.) (I'm waiting for you, Relena. Don't disappoint me....)
