Thank you for all your support!
After re-reading some parts of my story, I have noticed some typos, so I am making an attempt to fix them.
Lelouch tried to explain everything to the two the best he could; what little he knew about the world of C, about his father's geass and eventual code, what he knew about code itself, his parents dreaded plan, and how he stopped it, the debt that the collective conscious owed him because of it, and how that debt led to where they were now. Lelouch wanted to be honest with them this time, after what happened before, he knew that was his best shot. Besides, he felt a little guilty for not telling them about his geass –specifically Ohgi who didn't hear about geass before Villetta explained it to him. After the Black Knight's betrayal, there was a lot of bad blood between them, and for things to work, he needed to fix things, even if he couldn't say that he had completely forgiven Ohgi. The whole time Lelouch tried to explain to their guilty faces, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and exposed, he realised how used to fooling them he was.
"To think that there was so much more going on that we didn't know, we really did act without knowing the full story, and to add to that what Empress Nunnally told us about the Zero requiem… Zero, I feel horrible." Ohgi looked incredibly ashamed, which made Lelouch feel a little more comfortable, just glad that they still didn't hate him.
Kallen, however, wasn't so calm. SLAP!
"Why didn't you just tell me about all this, idiot! What made you so arrogant that you thought you could deal with everything alone! You're just an arrogant idiot!" Despite himself, Lelouch couldn't stop himself from chuckling.
"What are you laughing at, bastard!" Lelouch tried to stop his laughter, but his voice still held a slight bit of amusement.
"Sorry, it's just, I missed you Kallen." He really did. Kallen was one of the few people that he could talk to during the old timeline, and one of the few people that would set him straight when he needed it.
"What… well… You could have just let me help you back then! If you didn't lie to be, I would have defended you if it cost me my life!" Kallen shouted in frustration.
"Then you would be dead. They would have thought you were under geass and shot you, then myself, and what would have been the point of that." Of the many things he did wrong, lying to Kallen back then was not one of them.
"H-he's right Kallen, we really did think that you might have been under the effects of geass." Ohgi tried to calm her down, and she did somewhat.
"Fine. Well, what are you planning now, you've set yourself back inside the royal family and you've called us here. You must be planning something." Kallen's voice was blunt, if not slightly annoyed. Lelouch took a deep breath in, he did not plan to explain his intensions to them so quickly, he had hoped to steady them in, but now, there was no point.
"I am planning on redoing the rebellion, this time the right way. I called you two hear because I believe next week will be the Lake Kawaguchi incident again, it will be our be the best chance that we have in this timeline to start up the Black Knights. If you're willing to join me in my rebellion again, I would like you're support."
"Of course!" Ohgi replied immediately, wanting to clear his guilty conscience. Kallen however hesitated.
"I will on one condition. Promise that you will be honest with us, you can lie to the rest of the Black Knights, but with the ones you bring back, you tell nothing but the truth."
"Of course." Lelouch had no problems with this, anyone he brought back would already know anything that he was trying to hide last time.
"Then I'm in. But, how are you going to make this work, as head of the military now, you will be the one dealing with the hostage situation, and what about getting in, the Black Nights don't have any fame this time to draw Kusakabe's attention? We really don't have much to go on."
"Well, it going to be risky but, here's the plan..."
Lelouch walked back into his office, noticing a certain green haired woman working at one of the desks. "And who are you?" He asked, feigning ignorance as the woman glared at him, it was Jeremiah who responded.
"She is you're new personal secretary, Miss Cecilia Clarke." Jeremiah handed him a file containing C.C.'s newly created identity that Lelouch had Jeremiah create for him, seeing everything was in order, he nodded in thanks towards Jeremiah.
"Very well, everything seems to be in order." Lelouch hid his smirk as C.C. continued to glare at him, angry that he was forcing her to take this job. To hide his smirk he had glanced at his watch to notice that it was well past 4pm, he made a side glance at Abbigail who was typing away at her computer, as she had been doing since 5am this morning, before making a comment.
"You can't hide here forever; I'm going to be the one that gets in trouble if Euphemia finds out that you have been here all day." Abbigail just continued her typing.
"Euphie is just going to be more overexcited to talk to you if she rarely gets to see you." She stopped typing.
"It's not that… It's just, I've never had a friend before, never really wanted one… I just don't know what I'm supposed to do or how to act."
"I see, so not only are you an insufferable, entitled brat, but you're completely useless when it comes to anything but that computer of yours." Hawkins crowed, making Abbigail's left eye twitch. Then Abbigail blinked, as if remembering something, grabbing her computer.
"I have that report you asked for earlier." Already? Lelouch nodded before bringing her into his personal office, signalling to Jeremiah so that he would follow.
Abbigail had already set her computer down and had opened countless files by the time Jeremiah had closed the door behind him.
"You did all this in just a few weeks?" Lelouch asked uncertain, not quite believing it to be possible, from what he could see, a lot of these documents had a high rank security code. Abbigail just nodded.
"I had more motivation than usual, with Hawkins bugging me all the time. I'm pretty sure that you were right Lelouch, Hawkins has a pretty sketchy background, he could very likely be part of one of those extremist groups you mentioned before." To get her to look into Hawkins' background, Lelouch had told Abbigail that he suspected that Hawkins might be part of the same group that Swine was in, obvious bullshit, but it was better than the truth.
"Sketchy in what way?" Lelouch asked, he was hoping to get some sort of dirt to blackmail Hawkins with, but it seems that Abbigail found something more valuable.
"It seems that he is, or at least was, part of some kind of cult, information about the cult itself I couldn't get into, but I did find a profile, I think the cult's called the 'Geass Order' or something, yep, here it is." Abbigail opened up a file that was a profile with a picture of Hawkins, but under a different name, Blake, with the geass symbol at the top.
