Welcome to my first 5/H fic...or at least the first one I've ever written without getting SERIOUSLY bad writer's block
Anyway, this in-progress fic has already been seen by those who frequent the 5/Heinrich Thread - in fact, I've already written Chapters 2 and 3, and I'm working on 4 right now. Each chapter will be proofread there first, then posted here, and after a certain amount of time, be posted on FF.net
Anyway, here's Chapter 1. 2 and 3 will be posted later (if I posted them all at once, that would kinda be overkill) I know there's not many major 5/H moments yet in this one but, trust me, there will be. It should also be PAINFULLY obvious who the kids are
Also note that the character of Carmelite is my creation. A link to a recent picture I made of her (in my style and KND style) will be provided at the end of the chapter.

Chapter One
Abigail Lincoln, better known as Numbuh Five of the Kids Next Door, sat waiting in one of the visiting booths in the KND Arctic prison. It was a pretty quiet day today, with only the faint sounds of normal Kids Next Door activity audible through the thick, icy walls, and it appeared that no one else was visiting any prisoners today.
On the outside, Abby looked as calm and cool as usual, but inside, thoughts were racing through her head as she waited to see the prisoner she had come to visit.
Numbuh Five's gotta talk to him, she thought, It's been months and he still won't get over it...What if he never does?
Just then, Abby heard footsteps approaching, interrupting her thoughts, and sighed as the boy she had been so anxious to visit sat down on the other side of the booth.
"Vhat do you vant now, Abigail?" Heinrich Von Marzipan asked, a little exasperated. He took a good look at Abby, and wondered if, despite her appearances, if something was bothering her.
"Heiny," Abby began, "We gotta talk."
"About vhat?"
"Guatemala."
"Nein." Heinrich snapped, turning away from Abby.
"Heinrich." Abby addressed him, as she kept her cool in preparation for how difficult this was going to get.
Heinrich stayed silent for a moment, then turned back to Abby.
"You've gotten mad at me before," Abby continued, "But it always ended up okay. We'd forgive each other, and everything would be back to normal. But now...well, Numbuh Five's gettin' kinda worried about this whole Guatemala thing. You've never been mad this long..."
"Vell, liebchen, YOU never betrayed me before."
"I told you, Heiny, it wasn't my fau-"
Just then, an alarm sounded, and the sounds of weapons firing and rushing footsteps could be heard as a computerized voice said "Intruder Alert...Intruder Alert..."
"Looks like I gotta go, Heiny." Abby said, whipping out a SPLANKER, "We'll talk some other time."
Before Abby could leave, however, there was a thudding noise from above her and Heinrich's heads. The two glanced up to notice two large cracks forming in the ceiling. Anticipating what would happen next, they both got up from their seats and slowly backed away. The crack finally gave way, creating A huge hole, and two figures fell through. After initially crashing onto the booth, thus smashing it, one landed in front of Heinrich, the other in front of Abby.
"Vhat are you-" Heinrich began.
"No time to explain!" shouted the 12-year-old girl that had landed in front of Abby, then turned to the 10-year-old boy that had landed in front of Heinrich.
"LEO!" she yelled, "You know this place - where do we go now?!"
"I'll show you." the boy replied, then grabbed Heinrich's hand, and rushed towards the exit of the room. Following suit, the girl grabbed Abby's hand and headed towards the exit, too.
As they ran from the room through a seemingly endless hallway, Abby tried to listen to see if she could hear any operatives in pursuit of the intruders. She could hear conversation from the room they had just fled from, but it was growing faint as they moved on. However, Abby thought she heard the distant echo of footsteps from the other end of the hallway.
After a few minutes, the boy spotted an air vent in one of the walls. He opened it up, and crawled inside. The girl then made her way towards the vent, but turned to Abby and Heinrich before going in.
"What're you two waiting for?!" she exclaimed, "We don't have all day!"
"Why should we trust you?" Abby shouted, "Numbuh Five's got a good mind to-"
"You'll thank us 30 years from now!" the girl replied, crawling into the vent.
Maybe Numbuh Five can save the others the trouble of catching these two, Abby thought, and crawled into the vent.
Heinrich, meanwhile, was hesitating to join them.
"Zis vould be ein good chance to escape..." he pondered. However, the echoing footsteps Abby had heard were now getting louder, so Heinrich quickly crawled into the vent and followed Abby and the other two kids.
---
Eventually, they reached another vent, which the boy opened up.
"Looks like the right place." he announced to the others, "Just keep following me."
The group crawled one by one out of the vent. The room they had just entered appeared to be a storage area for various, discarded 2x4 weapons and rockets. Here, the only sound that could be heard was the computerized voice and alarm, still going off.
Now that they weren't in such a hurry, Abby stopped to get a good look at the intruders. The boy's black hair was in dreadlocks, and covered with a blue cap. He wore a red ascot around his neck, and was slightly chubby. The girl was a bit more athletic in build, and her hair was cut at chin-length, with a small braid in it. Like the boy, she wore an ascot, but hers was sideways, and blue.
"Looks like there's just a bunch of junk in here, Leo." the girl commmented, as she bent down to retie her boots, "And a few rocket-looking things..."
"They're escape pods." the boy informed her, "And if each one of us gets in one..."
"Before we go ANYWHERE," Abby interrupted, "Who are you?"
"Und vhy are you here?" Heinrich added, as he eyed the escape pods.
"For starters, I'm Leopold," the boy said, "Better known as Numbuh 5,000."
"I'm Carmelite." the girl added, "And trust me, all the things we're doing right now - breaking into this base, letting a prisoner out - are necessary right now."
"How?" Abby asked.
"It's a long story," Leopold explained, as he entered the first escape pod. He appeared to be typing something on a computer inside it.
"But it mostly involves you guys," he continued, as he got out of the pod and moved on to the next, "So you're not going to regret helping us. First off, we should go to the Sector V treehouse, get some supplies and stuff..."
"Why don't we just stay here and get some?" Carmelite asked, "I mean, besides the fact that there's a ton of operatives that are gonna kick our butts if they catch us, there's probably all the weapons and vehicles we need here. Why go all the way to that treehouse?"
"You'll see when we get there." Leopold told her. He had just finished in the second pod, and was about to enter the the third one.
"Whatever, Numbuh Five's still turning you in." Abby said, whipping out her SPLANKER again.
"Looks like Heinrich's got the right idea." Carmelite pointed out. Heinrich, in an attempt to escape, had just entered the first pod.
"How did you know mein name?" Heinrich asked, but before he could be answered, Leopold quickly jumped from the third pod and shut the door of the one Heinrich was in.
"Good thing I got the coordinates for Sector V entered in that one already." Leopold said.
"VHAT?!"
The escape pod blasted through the roof of the storage area, and a little water from outside rushed in.
"That'll make findin' Heiny easy." Abby thought aloud, then turned her attention to the two intruders.
"Now, just come quietly and Numbuh Five'll be easy on you..." Abby told them. Carmelite sighed.
"I really, REALLY didn't want to do this..." she muttered, "But it looks like I don't have much of a choice." Carmelite grabbed Abby by the ankles, and flung her into one of the escape pods, while Leopold grabbed the handle of the door.
"Sorry about that." he apologized, then shut the door of the pod, which immediately took off.

There ya go. Now, just be patient and wait for Chapters 2 and 3.
And, as promised, Carmelite.
