"It's nice to meet you, Exorcist Johannes." Tall, lean with dark hair that curled at the ends, and dressed in the white uniform of the Order's ranking operations personnel, Chief Komui smiled cheerily. "Central informed us you'd be arriving. Now let's have a look at that Innocence."

Gaia flapped around anxiously above their heads and Jump and Mahoja goggled in panic from a nearby corner as Chief Komui whipped out a big drilling tool of some sort. He approached Star, who was sitting on the lab's examination table.

Outside in the hall, waiting for the screams to start from inside, Allen Walker, Lenalee Lee, Lavi, and Arystar Krory peered into the Chief's examination room.

"He's at it again," Krory said. He put a hand over his mouth and shuddered. "Oh...my teeth still haven't forgotten my own arrival at Headquarters…"

Allen winced, saying, "Your brother has got to be stopped, Lenalee. Should we go in?"

"Where is Star Johannes' Innocence anyway?" Lenalee pondered. "She can't be an equipment type, can she. It doesn't look like she's carrying anything containing the Innocence…"

Inside the examination room-

Leaning back on one hand with her legs crossed, the Order's newest Exorcist said coolly, "You can call me Star. And just what do you think you're going to do to me with that thing, Chief Komui?" Eyebrow cocked, the look on Star's face was both erotic and terrifying. So much so that Komui froze and edged backwards, blushing and chuckling nervously, a conspicuous sweat drop on his brow. "You planning to 'drill' my Innocence or something, sir?"

Komui's blush deepened. "I'll examine your Innocence at a later time, shall I." Komui put his horrid lab instrument away and gestured her out the door. "To Hevlaska then?"

"I'd love to." Star uncrossed her legs and hopped off the examination table.

The hall outside was filled with stunned choking sounds.

"He didn't do anything to her!" Krory said in utter disbelief.

"Amazing!" Allen cried. The Exorcist with the scarred and cursed left eye and an anti-Akuma weapon for a left arm. White-haired, gray-silver eyed, and dressed in the Exorcist's black uniform, Allen Walker was nowhere near as short as he was rumored. Looks pretty average height for a boy to me but, then again, I don't discriminate and I'm shorter than he is, Star thought, laughing inwardly.

As she, Mahoja, Jump, and Gaia came out of the exam room, Allen darted in front of Star and said desperately, "Tell us your secret, please!"

"Allen Walker. What a pleasant surprise," Star said. Remembering the report and rumors about his actions in Mater, she really was happy to meet someone like him in person.

"Chief Komui didn't lay a finger on you, how did you do it? We have to know!" Krory said.

Kro was a gaunt and tall young man with sharp features and a strip of white that fell down the center of his forehead in a curling lock from his otherwise dark hair. His parasitic Innocence gave him a sharper, more frightening appearance when he used his razor fangs to suck the blood of Akumas and infect them with its light, but otherwise he had a very kind face and kind eyes.

As to their inquiries, Star smiled and sparkled with sainthood and enlightenment.

"Make the Chief feel uncomfortable enough that he won't dare to touch you with his nasty contraptions."

"I think only you can do that," Lavi said. "Did you see the way he was blushing?"

"And scared," Lenalee added.

"Ah, Lavi, also nice to meet you," Star said. "Are you saying you noticed my sex appeal?"

"You're not really my type." Handsome and as mysterious as his changeable attitudes, Lavi was a ginger-haired boy with an eye patch, a bandanna folded around his head, and a mallet-like iron hammer for an anti-Akuma weapon that he carried in a holster on his leg.

Star shrugged. "Yeah, I suppose someone slender like Lenalee here is more to your standard. And, by the way, I didn't ask if I was. Your type, that is."

Lavi grinned. "Ouch."

"I'm not your type, right. So it shouldn't matter what I think of you." Star grabbed Lavi's head and pulled him into her ample bosom, rubbing his face around in them. "But I can't be so bad, eh, Lavi? What's a few pounds between lovers." She laughed boisterously, releasing him.

Lavi stammered, blushing brightly, and straightened his bandanna.

Turning to Lenalee, Star stuck out her hand. "I'm happy to meet you, Lenalee."

Lenalee was a lithe, dark-haired girl. Sensible, caring towards her friends and family of the Order, and a very skilled Exorcist. Displayed by her uniform jacket that was just long enough and frilled at the bottom to look like a short skirt, Lenalee also had a beautiful pair of legs that had been destined for Innocence, namely the Dark Boots. "Likewise, Miss Johannes," Lenalee smiled and shook her hand. "My brother told me a little about you before you arrived."

Picking up the good old conversation-and-congeniality ball, Star said, "Star, please. And may I call you Lenalee?"

"Of course, Star." With Lenalee's warm and open smile, Star knew who was in charge of hospitality around here.

Looking just a little disappointed, Komui appeared from the exam room and clapped his hands.

"It seems you've done your homework on us, Star. The rest of the official introductions can wait until later. Please follow me."


Author's Notes:

Finder Mahoja is named for Anita's servant in D. Gray-Man. I liked Mahoja and her physique, I thought she was strong, honorable, and beautiful even though she didn't get much screen time in the anime.

Do I need to describe main characters like Allen, Komui, Lavi, Krory, and Lenalee? I decided to not to make too huge a deal of it, seeing as how if people are reading this as fans, they should already know who the established characters are and what they look like.
