A/N: I worked my computer to death. The hard drive died and I lost everything. I'm not abandoning my old fics but it will take me a little time to retype things. Reever has a few stalkers in this one so I guess you could say that there are a few weird one-sided pairings in this…

Reever was in Komui's office wading through the papers strewn across the floor and trying to make distinct piles (sorted by importance) when he unearthed a small glass vile filled with periwinkle liquid.

Not taking any chances, he held it at arm's length and carried it toward the box of confiscated objects that he would be hiding later. Unfortunately, he was so focused on the evil vile that he failed to see the pile of books in front of him.

He tripped, the glass shattered and…. Nothing happened.

There was no burst of smoke, no flash. The solution merely lay motionless among the shards of glass.

Reever let out a sigh of relief and started breathing again. He swept up the glass, mopped up the liquid and, after disposing of it carefully returned to his task.

It was several hours before he realized that something was wrong.

Flashback:

Komui had been locked in his lab for hours, perfecting an elixir that would protect his precious Lenalee. Sadly, later testing (which may or may not have involved giving it to an unsuspecting Allen and locking him a room with a certain other exorcist) proved it to have an effect opposite of what Komui had intended.

A/N: Were back in the States and getting unpacked… I miss Australia already. This story should have about two or three more chapters (that will be longer than this one).
