Lie no. 52:

It was mid-winter when Squalo gave Harry a letter in a manila envelope as he walked into the apartment. Cutting it open with a pocket knife the assassin tossed over, he stared at the letter in his hand. Turning to the man who was putting his coat up, he asked "Squalo, what is this?"
"After the Cradle Affair and an incident a couple of years back with a traitorous bastard, we want to make sure we don't have any liars when the boss gets back."

"So?"
"Voi, we want you to be our recruitment officer. Weed out the liars," he explained "You won't need to deal with older ones unless we have suspicions. So, are you going to do it?"

Lie no. 53:

His first day of work was… odd.

Somehow, he found himself standing (read as: cowering) beside Squalo in front of a line of ten recruits. All of them had passed every other requirement. Except now they had to pass Harry's test. Every one of them were annoyed and contemptful at the idea that they had to submit to a 'crack scientist'.

Flipping through the pages of the clipboard, he skimmed through the shortened personnel files. Pausing at a particular one, he looked up and stared at the mullet-headed man that was the lone storm in the group. Tapping the loud Rain beside him on the shoulder, he whispered: 'I need to talk to the storm."

Nodding his head, Squalo yelled "Voi! Congratulations, Rabia! You're up!"

Lie no. 54:

"I'm sorry, but I can't, for the life of me, understand you," Harry began "Everyone else was angry. Eyebrows down and together, glaring, and narrowing of the lips. What people don't know about rage is that it is slow and gradual. Sort of like opening a tap. Your's however, was too fast. It was more jagged. Fake. And you even had a brief microexpression of fear, when everyone else just had contempt. Why?"

"Aren't you the psychic?" the storm said with disgust
"I'm not a psychic, Rabia, was it?" he clarified "I read expressions. Together they show me if you're being deceitful. I can't tell you why you are lying."

"I'd love to know, Rabia."

Truth no. 9:

Turns out Rabia was one of the guys hired by CEDEF to infiltrate the Varia. Sort of like a contingency plan to make sure that Xanxus wouldn't get free. The resulting argument between Iemitsu and Squalo was ear splitting. Harry didn't even want to be there, he wanted to be back at home (since when did Squalo's apartment become home?).

The CEDEF boss made his skin crawl; reminded him way too much of Dumbledore. He had his student call him Master and told him to speak in some arbitrary and archaic form of language. From what Squalo told him, the creep had a wife and son he never saw (yet another reason to hate him).

He wasn't even ashamed that he had done it, rather he was more ashamed that he was caught. Especially by a civilian of all things. When he found out that Harry was the one who had caught his operation the man looked enraged. He had roared about omerta and the like, easily being shut down by Squalo when he said that Harry was a candidate for Xanxus' cloud guardian and was the Varia's new recruitment officer. Which resulted in another argument about Xanxus never getting free.

He needed some painkillers to deal with his migraine.

Lie no. 55:

A couple of months later, the other officers came to him. They had a plan to free Xanxus, but they would need his help and a place to hide out. Sirius was more than willing to give them a place to go as the Varia HQ was too likely to be ambushed in case they were caught.

Apparently, the ice that Xanxus was locked in were hardened sky flames. Bad news was that the only Skies they knew were allied with the Vongola and releasing Xanxus would terminate their alliance so none of them would help him. Good news was that Sky flames had the attribute of harmony, a perfect harmony of all six other flame types.

They were going to need to prepare.

Truth no. 10:

Once he got the paperwork from the ministry, Harry went straight to the Varia HQ and to Squalo's office. Slipping in, Harry smiled at him. "Hey."
"Voi, what are you doing here."
"I need to tell you something. I wanted to tell you earlier but it has it's own form of omerta. If I told you, I'd get deported and your memories of me would have been removed."

"What the hell?"

Harry pulled out his holly wand and spent the next hour telling Squalo about magic and how he had done everything to leave it behind. But… he was willing to use it if it meant the Varia could have Squalo back.

"I'll need a bit of help finding Xanxus' exact location so we don't end up with missing limbs but-" he began before he was dragged into a hug. "Voi, you just made this job so much easier for us."

"You're not… bothered by my magic?" he asked, his voice muffled by the man's shoulder
"We have omerta, you have that… what do you call it?"
"The International Statute of Secrecy of 1692."

"Wait, how can you tell me about it?"
"... I may have written you and the other officers of the Varia down as one of the benefactors for my assets. Considering somethings in my vaults are magical, the only way you would get it, is if you knew about magic."
"Assets?"

Harry sighed before going into his heritage.

Lie no. 56:

With Mammon using their mist flames to carve the image of Xanxus prison in Harry's mind, it was fairly easy to apparate from Sirius's place to the Iron Fort basement and move Xanxus with him. Once he got back, slowly but surely they combined their flames to make a singular sky flame and melted Xanxus bit by bit.

Lussuria then spent the next week using his sun flames to heal as much of the burns as possible but they would scar. And magic couldn't be used until after the man woke up so they could assess the full damage to his body after eight years of incarceration.

Truth no. 11:

Xanxus first woke up about a month after his freedom, aches and sores in his joints. He was in the middle of trying to use his extremities when Rosa snuck into his room for yet another time in an attempt to avoid getting in trouble. Tilting his head to the side, he looked at the preteen that slid to the floor with her knees to her chest.

"Oi, trash, where the hell am I?" he growled. The girl looked up at him for a moment, before rolling her eyes. "Good to see you're awake, sleeping beauty. You're in the countryside. Big brother helped the Varia break you out." she explained. His hand twitched as he went for a glass that wasn't there as she got to her feet she left the room.

Five minutes later a young man and Squalo (is it really? He looks so much older, his hair is so much longer, has he been loyal for that long?) "Shitty shark," he began, his voice raspy from eight years of disuse "How long did that bastard keep me locked up?"
"Eight years, boss. Voi, this is Harry, he helped us bust you out," Squalo introduced. The man gave a serene smile and wave "I apologise for my sister. She and Belphegor caused some damaged and she ran."

He was a cloud. The flames were oddly calming and shielded him better than Levi's lightning. Was this his cloud?

Lie no. 57:

When Harry left the room, the first thing he did was send a letter to Luna. His friend was odd, but she had become one of the best healers he knew. She arrived a day later and he introduced her to Xanxus. Slowly but surely, her magic allowed him to regain function of his limbs so that it was as if he was never frozen.

Then Luna disappeared like the wind.

Lie no. 58:

Walking into Xanxus' room with a new uniform that he had ordered be brought to him. He was amused by the man's actions but did them anyway. Passing them over, he sat down and looked at him. "So what will you do?" he asked "Because if you're going to go with revenge… I have a fairly good idea on how to get it."
"Explain." Xanxus commanded

"Let's ruin Iemitsu Sawada's life."

TADA! Xanxus has arrived! This is gonna be fun, and I can only hope that it will be great. Iemitsu now has the Varia senior officers, and a vindictive teenage girl coming after him. Yes, there will be a Varia arc, but not like the one in canon. It will most likely be similar to John Tucker Must Die, sort of like the Varia doing everything in their power to undermine Iemitsu (but it doesn't work as well as they hoped in some situations) I really want to rewatch that now that I think about it...

To people who are wondering how the 'Lies' and 'Truths' are set up (and the one guest reviewer who I accidently sent on a wild goose chase to find lies in the 'lies'), Harry views the world as a place full of liars -as said in the prologue. Because of this Harry views everything as a lie. The 'lies' (while they may not necessarily have actual lies in them) are simply a sort of baseline for him due to the fact that he needs something to compare the 'Truths' to. 'Truths' being things that he believes in so much that he feels to be as fact. There are some instances, as you know, where 'Truths' aren't from Harry's focus but the point still stands.

Does that make sense?

For the record, this is unbeta'd and I'm often running on time constraint. Most mistakes you will see are because I switched to my phone and auto correct decided to mess with me and I didn't realise.

Last but by far the most important, I'm super grateful for all the people who follow, favourite and review. You are doing wonders for my confidence. Sadly my updates will slow down for the next few weeks because I'll be super busy. They may speed back up again afterwards though.
