Chapter 2
It was a rather cloudy day at Headquarters. Komui looked out the window at the gloomy sky, thinking about Lenalee. What was taking her so long? They were supposed to return over 2 hours ago! Komui thought nervously. He always hated to send his little sister on a mission. I hope she is all right. Just then, he heard Reever come into his office.
"Komui, Lenalee and her friends have returned to Headquarters." Reported the man.
"Really? Oh yay!" cried Komui, hopping up and down in joy, his somber mood suddenly forgotten. "I take it that the mission was successful?"
"Yes, the Innocence shard has been taken to Helvaska. She is now placing the piece within her for safe keeping." Reever seemed to pause. "However, Lenalee and the group seem to have brought something, or rather, someone else along."
"Oh really?" Asked Komui, clearly interested in the matter "Who did they bring? A new accommodator?"
"You won't believe me, but they brought back a Noah." Komui suddenly turned serious. What is a Noah doing here? WHY is a Noah here? Could they have killed him? No, they wouldn't have brought the body along if he were dead. But why did they bring him here? A million questions scattered in Komui's head.
"Sir? Sir? We need to get down to the science department as quickly as possible. Lenalee says she had an explanation for all of this." Komui shook himself from his trance, seeing Reever's hand wave in front of his face.
"Yes, you are right, let us go." Komui said, pushing his glasses up. "I need to know what is going on as soon as possible."
Allen hated the attention that was being drawn to them. Everyone seemed to be looking at the group of young Exorcists. He heard whispers all around him as they walked down the hall. Why did they bring back a Noah? Is he even still alive? This is bad. What if the Earl comes for him? Lenalee didn't like it either, but then again, it was better that the Noah was here, instead of returning to the Millennium Earl. Tyki was still unconscious, but was being carried in by Lavi. Kanda, Bookman, and Krory, were standing guard in case Tyki woke up. And he almost did so once. Kanda knocked him out with a whack to the head before Tyki was fully conscious, but was repaid by receiving one in return from Lenalee. After that, they resorted to Miranda using her Innocence to make Tyki stay in his unconscious state. It took a while to get back to headquarters, but they managed to send Toma ahead to alert everyone that they were bringing back a Noah. Apparently, they had gotten there first.
Lenalee!" shouted Komui, throwing his arms around his little sister. "I am so glad you are back!"
"Nii-san," Lenalee replied, struggling away from her brother's embrace. "If you have not forgotten, we have a…guest with us."
"Oh, right," said Komui, releasing his sister and straightening his coat. As he looked over Lenalee's shoulder, he saw what Reever had said was indeed correct: they had brought back a Noah. And by the looks of him, it was Tyki Mikk.
"Lenalee," Komui asked while pushing up his glasses, "Why have you brought a Noah here?"
"Why don't you ask Allen," Said Kanda, glaring at Allen. "He was the one who refused to kill him." Komui shifted his gaze from Tyki to Allen. Allen held his gaze, knowing that he was in a lot of trouble, but was ready to take on the responsibility.
"Allen?" he inquired. Allen took a deep breath and then recited the events of the mission.
"I just couldn't kill him," he finished, "I swore to myself that I would never harm another human being."
"Allen," Komui sighed, a small frown showing on his face. "While I agree with your morals, I don't think a Noah is exactly a human."
"Tyki is now," said Allen as he walked up to Komui, "because I killed the Noah inside him."
It was as if a bomb went off in the science department. How did you do that? Are you sure that's true? That's a lie! The Noah is only trying to trick us! It seemed as if the entire room wanted answers to their questions.
"A-Allen-"
"Tyki Mikk is no longer a threat." Stated Allen, clearly not willing to back down. "He is now not so different as I am from you."
"Are you sure about this?" Asked Komui, surprise and shock clearly visible on his face.
"I am positive."
"Wait a minute!" came a voice above the rest. The whole room turned to see Howard Link looking over at the group.
"Link-san!" Said Lavi, walking over to the man. How are you-"
"How do we know that this is true Allen?" Link asked, walking passed the red-haired teen. "How do we know that you are telling the truth?" Allen opened his mouth but Link cut him off. "I am sorry Mr. Walker, but the Black Order cannot only rely on your word." Link then turned to look at Komui, his mouth in its usual frown. "Komui, you and the rest of the science department are to run tests on this Noah and determine if he really is just a human now."
"Link!" shouted Allen, grabbing the teen's arm. "Link! You don't have to do that! I saw it with my own eyes! Everyone saw it with their own eyes! I tore the Noah from Tyki Mikk's body and Kanda destroyed it!" Link's response was to shove Allen's hand from his shoulder and walk over to Reever.
"Reever, you are to prepare a holding cell to keep this Noah in for the time being."
"Link-san!" Now it was Lenalee's turn to shout. "That is too harsh! No one deserves to be held in there!"
"Silence woman!" Said Link, looking over at the girl. "I will be leaving to talk with the higher ups about this matter. Until then he is to be held in solitary confinement. Is that clear?"
"But-"
"Give up, Lenalee." muttered Lavi, placing a hand on the girl. "I know that this isn't fair, but Link is only doing his duty as a member of the CROW. Don't be angry with him." Lenalee seemed like she wanted to protest, but in the end didn't. "Besides," continued the teen, looking down at her. "I bet this won't go on for long. It will only be for a few days."
"Mr. Lavi is correct." Came Link's voice from across the way. "These are not permanent measures, but they will be in place for the time being."
Link looked up at Miranda, Kanda, and Lavi. "Could you take the Noah to a holding cell for the time being? I need to have a conference with the higher up's to alert them of the current situation. I must leave as soon as possible." He turned to Allen. "Also, I need them to decide what Mr. Walker's punishment will be for saving the Noah." Allen opened his mouth to say something, but kept silent. He knew that this would happen, but it was a small price to pay for Tyki's life.
