Preventer Fic
I had been following the guy for blocks. Fucking Preventers walked like they owned the fucking world. It was time someone showed them that they didn't. Robbing one of them was sure to ease my way into the gang- I had to do something impressive... taking on one of these guys was a sure fire way in...
I didn't want to confront him on the street though- lots of 'concerned citizens' about, especially in an upscale part of town like this. I would've tried to find one down in the Warrens, but the Preventers never went solo down there- well, except for one... and no one wanted to run into the one we called 'Death'.
It was a stroke of sheer luck that the guy turned down an alley- must've been planning to take a shortcut.
Little did he know cut was going to be the word of the day...
I followed him down the alley a little way before making my move. He was walking slowly, that policeman stride that they must teach all those guys in uniform, and it wasn't hard to catch up to him.
My knife was in my hand, ready to go. All I had to do was keep his away from his gun.
I charged for him, intending to knock him flat, but right as I reached him he twisted out of the way, leaving me stumbling to find my balance.
A minor setback.
I whirled to face him, knife out and pointed at him. "Don't move!"
I half-expected him to have his gun out already- or at least be reaching for it. I sure as hell didn't expect him to lean against the dirty wall, push his dark-brown bangs out of his eyes and smile at me.
"And what might you be looking for?" He asked as he crossed his arms and settled himself comfortably on the wall.
I blinked at him for a minute. "Hello?" I waved the knife in his face. "What do you think? Give me your wallet!"
"No."
"No?" I repeated incredulously. I moved the knife closer to his face. I could easy cut him before he could reach for his gun. Was this guy suicidal?
"No." He smiled... no smirked at me. "Let me guess- you need it to prove you robbed a Preventer? Maybe as a little proof that you're worthy to join one of our local gangs?"
"Maybe. Or maybe I just like cutting up Preventers." I snarled at him. "I can always do that instead!" I moved closer to him.
There was a click. A very familiar kind of click.
I looked down. The Preventer still had his arms crossed; his hand was nowhere near his gun. So where....?
"I think you need to look behind you," the Preventer's smirk widened.
Was it a trick? I looked quickly over my shoulder.
And froze.
Another Preventer was standing behind me, gun out and pointed at my back. The expression on his face was nothing like his partner's. It was one that promised death...
I dropped my knife. It seemed the best thing to do.

"Seriously Heero!" Duo scolded me as the cops drove away with my would-be mugger. "What the hell were you thinking!"
"I knew you'd follow me when I didn't stop at the coffee shop," I told him with a grin. "That guy was following me and I wanted to know why."
"At least mugging a Preventer was his idea and not the gang's- otherwise I'd have to go down there and have a talk with a few of my contacts." Duo scowled. "Still, you put yourself at risk!"
"Hardly," I reached out and squeezed his shoulder. "I knew you'd be there to back me up. You always are."
His expression softened a little. "I still don't like it. Don't do it again."
"Got it. Next guy that tails me I'll just pound into the pavement, how's that?"
Duo's eyebrow lifted and his voice dropped. "And here I was thinking that I'd follow you home tonight... but I don't really care to get pounded into the pavement..."
I smirked at him. "What if I arrange for it to be a mattress instead?"
"You're on."
