Chapter 7

Allen´s Perspective

I was finally at Headquaters again! After my Flashback about that blonde Prick, Neah thought it was a good time to lecture me. Well, that time I will never get back. I walked down a hallway, when suddenly I heard an Explosion and saw Reveer with Lenalee on his back running towards me.

BOOM! CRASH!

He crashed into me and we fell to the ground. I winced in pain. „What is going on now?" I thought. My wounds were still a bit sour, but they healed nicely. Reveer got up from me and dragged me with him. We ran. I looked behind us, where I heard loud footsteps.

My eyes widen and my jaw dropped. There was a giant ROBOT! What the hell? „What´s wrong with this place?!" I thought in disbelief.

I felt Reveer pull me more. He was panting. „Less Gaping and more Running! Now is not the time to freak out! I will explain later!" He yelled. I turned back and picked up my pace.

Now I was dragging him. He stumbled a few times. Didn´t think I could ran so fast. Good thing I was used to it to avoid Neah and Master. I took Lenalee from his back and placed her on mine. I was giving her a piggy back ride now.

When I was sure that thing wasn´t in sight I placed Lenalee on the ground so she was leaning against a wall. Reveer was on his knees. He looked like he ran a marathon. I turned to him and crossed my arms over my chest. I gave him a stern look.

„Explain now, please." I stated impatient. This place was getting more and more crazy. Reveer looked up, took a deep breath and nodded. He began to explain what happened.

I was rubbing my temple to stop a headache. I sighed. „So let me get this straight. Komui built a Robot to help the Scientists with their Paperwork and us Exorcists, named him Komurin and the Robot drunk the Coffee for Komui and went crazy. He drugged Lenalee and Now he is trying to give Lenalee more muscles?!" I tried to make a Summary of what I just heard. My voice had a hysterical undertone. I couldn´t belief what I heard.

Reveer nodded sadly. „I wish he would just do his work instead." He complained. I twitched. „So this isn´t the First one?!" I cried. Reveer shook his head and looked depressed. Okay, I am official in a nuthouse.

Reveer looked up. He smiled at me. He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. „Are you alright? You were injured weren´t you? And Welcome Back!" he said with a grin. I was taken aback. I felt familiar. These words said Mana to me often. I felt a bit of pain when I remembered him. I got myself together and smiled back at Reveer.

„I am Back!" I said cheerfully. We heard footsteps again. Komurin broke through a wall. Stones and Rocks went flying. Reveer shielded Lenalee. I went over to Lenalee and picked her up. We ran again.

We ran into the hallway with the flying elevator. The thing was getting nearer. Not good.

„Reveer!" a voice screamed above. We looked up. There were a few Scienist on the elevator. Reveer turned to me.

„Run faster! That thing is after you Exorcists!" he demanded with panic. I felt something step on my Uniform coat that was open. I was dragged back and fell on my ass. I looked up nervously. Komurin looked down on Lenalee (Who wouldn´t wake up) and me.

„Destroy it!" a guy screamed from above. I just heard yelling and screaming and then A canon fired at Everything. I saw the shots coming and dodged them with Lenalee.

„Are you stuipd?!" I heard a Scienist scold. The others said similair things. Komui sounded like he was crying. „Not my Komurin~!"

„What about your sister?!" one asked. Komui went quiet. Uh oh. Not good.

„Komurin, Allen Walker injured himself on his last mission, Help him please~!" Komui cheered. I flinched. Did he just sarcifice me?! I tried to get up, but it still stood on my coat. What was that coat made of?! I was beginning to panic now.

„Exorcist Allen Walker is injured. He is top priority now." Komurin stated in an emotionless voice. He picked me up by my leg. Lenalee laid on the ground. Something opened and I saw a room with many little Komui puppets that had sharp things in there hand.

„HOW CRUEL!" A Scientist screamed.

„HE SACRIFICED ALLEN!" added another.

„SHAME ON YOU!" Well, it was good to know that the others weren´t agreeing with Komui.

„I am dead!" I thought in panic. My eyes were wide open. No way in hell, will I let these things anywhere near me! I glared at it. I activated my Innocence. I will shoot it down. I aimed when I felt something sting in my neck. My body became numb. I felt funny.

„WHAAA!" I heard them scream in panic.

„Paralyzed…" I muttered. I was dangling in the air. I seriously wondered if the Noah´s were that Crazy.

„He has a Bow pipe! Get him!" I think it was Jonny who I heard. My vision was getting blurry. I was getting nearer that room when I heard someone.

„Hey, Nep-WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" I heard Neah screaming. I felt how he took over my body.

Third Perspective

Allen was dangling from the Robot. The others finally managed to get Komui away and under control. Reveer got Lenalee up in the Elevator. Suddenly Allen moved a bit.

Allen´s eyes flashed Gold for a second, not that anybody noticed. „I will save you Nephew!"Neah thought determined. He tried to move, but found out he couldn´t. „Huh, my body…" he stammered. „What A Great help you are!" Allen replied with sarcasm. Neah looked down and saw the room. He quickly changed with Allen again.

„No way, You are on your own here!" No matter how much Neah loved Allen, he wouldn´t go in that room. Allen was getting more panicked.

He was slowly let into the room. Reveer and a Finder tried to get him out. They grabbed his coat. The door was closed.

„Damn! ALLEN!" Reveer yelled. It wouldn´t be good if the new Exorcist died. From Komui´s Robot no less.

„Do something! It will get to Lenalee next!" Komui was getting hysteric. The others glared at him.

Timcampy fluttered near the door. „Huh, what is Timcampy doing?" Jonny asked in confusion. They looked over.

Lenalee´s eyes opened slowly.

Timcampy showed a protection of Cross. He was standing there and looking pissed off.

„IDIOT APPRENTICE! Get your useless Ass here! You have more Debts! Hurry up Shorty!" General Cross roared. He also threw something. It looked like a Hammer?! The others held their ears.

„What the-?" A Finder began in confusion. The others looked confused as well and pitying.

„Poor Allen."

„Did he really threw a Hammer?"

„What a heartless man."

Timcampy closed the Projection.

Suddenly there was a dark aura getting from the inside of Komurin. Reveer and the Finder stumbled back. Komurin exploded.

BOOM!

Lenalee stood with her Innocence activated. She wanted to go over there and help, because she thought she heard Allen´s voice but…

There was smoke everywhere.

Allen stood with his Innocence in it´s Canon form. He looked absolutely pissed off. „Where is he? How much debt?! Who´s short?!" he growled. They took steps back and made a mental note to not call Allen short in the Future. Ever.

Reveer held up his hands. „That was just Timcampy!" he explained fast. Allen deactivated his Innocence and sighed. „Tim! I told you, don´t do that!" he whined. The others sweat dropped.

„MY KOMURIN~!" Komui cried. Lenalee finally understood what had happened. She turned to her brother and kicked him down. "Learn from your Mistakes!" she yelled. "OW!" Komui fell down.

The Scientist department was cheering.

"He destroyed it~!" they sung. Lenalee activated her Innocence and flew over to Allen. She looked worried. She touched his arm when she saw that he was swaying.

"Are you okay Allen?" she asked in concern. He was a bit pale. Allen nodded. "I think I am going to live." He assured with a smile. Lenalee laughed a bit. She pulled him into a hug. He tensed up.

"Welcome back!" she greeted. Allen turned a bit pink. He relaxed a bit and hesitantly hugged her back.

"Yes, Welcome back, Allen!" Jonny cheered the others joined. Allen felt warm. Maybe this place wasn´t so bad after all. Allen drew back and smiled brightly.

"I am Back!" he stated happy. The others smiled. Someone groaned. "Great, now we have to clean up!" one Scientist whined. The others looked down.

"I could help?" Allen suggested. He was a bit tried, but he would help them. The others shook their head. "Nope! You just got back from a Mission, just get the Innocence to Hevlaska and then Rest a bit." Reveer refused. No way would he let a half dead Exorcist help them with cleaning. He didn´t know what Gerneral Cross made the boy do, but he wasn´t so heartless.

Allen looked ready to protest, but Lenalee dragged him away. Allen looked back. "W-Wait! We could help them-." Allen began. The others waved. He looked still unsure.

Lenalee only pulled harder. "Come on, this isn´t the first time something like that happened. They have everything under control." She told him with a smile. She pulled him down to Hevlaska.

Allen gave her the Innocence. Then they went up again. While they were walking Allen asked a question which occupied him for some time now. He didn´t want to make Lenalee uncomfortable.

"L-Lenalee? May I ask you something?" He inquired nervous. She looked over to him and tilted her head. She looked at him curiously. "Of course, what do you want to ask?" she asked interested in what he would ask. Allen gulped.

He looked at the ground first and then up to her. He was unsure if he should ask at all. "What if she´s insulted, or she will ask question and then she will find out that I am a Noah, or she will tell the higher ups and Master could get in trouble because his Apprentice is asking about something like that, or she will kick me-!" Allen thought in panic, till he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up.

Lenalee was staring at him. She had a smile on her face. Her eyes were warm. She squeezed his shoulder lightly. "You can ask me. I will not be mad, I promise." She assured him. Allen nodded and took a deep breath. "Could we go somewhere where nobody is?" he asked uncomfortable. Lenalee blinked a few times.

"Sure, there´s a garden here." She stated while she dragged him after her.

At the Garden.

It was a beautiful garden with many flowers. There were roses and many other flowers. There was a pound. It had a few water lilies on it. They were gently floating on water. There where a few tree´s too. It was a bit cold, but Exorcist where used to abnormal weather.

Allen and Lenalee sat down under a tree. Allen stared around in wonder. It was really amazing. Maybe he could make something like this Garden in the Ark. Neah wouldn´t have anything against it.

"If your wondering, Kanda was the one who made it. He takes care of it." Lenalee explained with a smile. She really liked this Garden. It was like a safe place for her.

Allen looked shocked. "Bakanda did?" he asked in disbelief. Lenalee nodded. "Now, what did you want to ask?" she inquired quietly. Allen played with his hands.

"What do you think about the Black Order?" He asked. There, now he said it. Lenalee looked surprised. Then she smiled.

"It´s my home. I really like the people here. It´s like everyone here is a big family. They are my world." She stated confidently. She looked over to him. Allen looked at her with a frown on his face.

"That´s not completely true is it?" he stated like it was a fact. Lenalee flinched back. "What do you mean?" she asked in confusion. Of course she liked this place! It was her Home!

Allen looked her straight in the eyes, like he was searching for something. Silver clashed with Violett.

"I asked you what you think about the Black Order and you answered you like the people here. That means you don´t like it in total. It could also mean that you had some unpleasant memories with it. Or that you met someone you didn´t like." He stated quietly. Lenalee flinched back.

"H-How did he know that?! He couldn´t know about Levileer! O-Or the Experiments!" she thought in shock. Allen hit it on the point. She was scared what they would think if she told somebody that. She couldn´t hate the Order, it was her Home. What would her Innocence do if she thought like that? She could become a Fallen one!

Lenalee tried to get here thoughts back together, but Allen wouldn´t back down now. He already asked. He wouldn´t let her break Eyecontact. Determined Silver collided with panicked and scared Violett.

"What do you think about your Innocence?" he asked in a strong voice. It wouldn´t let him rest in peace. He wanted to know, if she felt about her Innocence like in that Vision. He needed to know. He wanted to help her. She couldn´t let it bottled up. She needed to let it out. Innocence could be dangerous.

Lenalee´s face went white. Her hands began to shake. She wanted to look away from that Allen. To get away from that desperate, strong look. She felt like he could see into her soul. She felt exposed. But that Silver eyed gaze held hers. She couldn´t look away. It was like she was under a Spell. She didn´t know if it was that desperate need to help her, that she saw in his eyes or that look like he knew something was wrong, or how she felt.

She felt her breath come out in shorter gasps. She could feel cold terror settle down in her stomach, just because he asked her about her Innocence. Was she really so afraid of her Innocence? To fear something that was supposed to be her partner.

She felt her vision get blurry from tears that welled up. Then she felt something warm touch her hands. She finally broke away from that gaze and looked down. Allen was holding her hands. He gently squeezed them to comfort her. She looked up again. Allen smiled at her softly. She felt that terror sweep away. His eyes were soften. They where like a light Silver, so comforting and warm. She suddenly felt safe. That thought scared her. She just met him a few days ago!

"Lenalee, it´s okay, just listen to my voice alright? It´s okay. Your fine. It´s safe." Allen assured her with a smile. Lenalee started sob. "I-I d-don´t know why I am suddenly crying!" she cried. She threw herself at Allen and hugged him around the neck.

Allen rubbed her back. "Shh, Shh, you don´t have to answer if you don´t want to. I apologize for pushing you that far." He comforted her. She cried into his neck. Allen could feel how her tears where soaking his shirt by his shoulder. He felt a sting of guilt. He hadn´t meant to make her cry.

Allen thought about things he could do to make her stop crying. "Such a crybaby." Neah grumbled. What? He was still a Noah! Of course he didn´t like Exorcists. Not to mention this one had was annoying him the most!

"You are not helping Neah!" Allen yelled annoyed. She was crying and Neah was insulting her? Stupid Noah genes. He had an Idea. He looked down at Lenalee.

"Lenalee, would you calm down if I hummed you a Lullaby?" Allen asked unsure. Lenalee weakly nodded. Allen leaned back and began to hum the Melody of the Ark. He felt Lenalee relax against him. Her sobs got quieter.

Well, Lala promised him to cheer or comfort people with his voice didn´t she?

"Y-You have a really n-nice voice A-Allen." Lenalee commented. Her voice was rough and shaking from crying. Allen chuckled softly. "Glad you think so. Now are you better?" He inquired gently. Lenalee nodded and pulled back.

Her eyes were swollen and red from crying. On her cheek were dried tear trails. She rubbed her eyes. Her cheeks were light pink.

"S-Sorry, I didn´t meant to react l-like that." She apologized. Allen shook his head. "Don´t be sorry. It was my fault, anyway, you don´t have to talk to me about it if you don´t want to. I just wanted to say I am here for you." Allen responded with a wry smile. Lenalee looked like she wanted to protest, but Allen shoot her a look and she backed down.

"I-I want to answer your question." She began with desperation, but Allen held up a hand. "You don´t have to push yourself. Maybe we could talk next time about it? I could tell you what I think about my Innocence, if you want to." Allen suggested when he saw that she looked disappointed in herself.

Lenalee brightened up and nodded quickly. Allen sighed in relief.

"I think of my Innocence not as a weapon, but as a….part of me. And that's not just because I am parasite." He admitted. Lenalee looked at him in interest. Allen gave her a grin and continued.

"It was always there as long as I could remember and every time I activated it it´s like a protector. Like there´s always someone with me and supporting me. It´s a really great feeling. I don´t fear my Innocence. It´s like family I think." He explained while he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

Lenalee stared at him with wide eyes. "..family.." she muttered to herself. She hadn´t thought about it like that. Allen really explained it like it was great to have Innocence. She wanted to feel like that with her Innocence too!

"But I guess that´s my opinion." Allen sighed. He stood up and held a hand out to Lenalee. She took his hand and he helped her up from the ground.

Lenalee had her head lowered to the ground. Her hands were tightly holding onto her skirt. "Do you think we could do that again?" she asked quietly. Allen hadn´t heard her. He blinked. "Could you repeat that?" Allen asked her politely.

Lenalee raised her head and looked at Allen. She had a determined look on her face. "Could we do that again!" she yelled loudly. She was blushing.

Allen stumbled back from the volume of her voice. "E-Eh? Sure I guess." He stated confused. Lenalee smiled brightly. "I look forward to it! You know, next time try to sing something, it was really good! The melody was beautiful!" she praised happy. Allen looked away. "Thanks." He answered uncomfortable. He wasn´t used to people complementing on his voice. But it made him feel warm and special.

Lenalee beamed at him. "You know, if you hadn´t agreed I think I would gone to Komui and told him that you made me cry!" she confessed with a teasing grin. Allen froze up.

"That Psycho would have gutted me! Or send one of his crazy Robots!" Allen thought in panic. "Your evil!" he whined at Lenalee. Lenalee giggled while she waved her hand.

"Just kidding." She said with a grin. Allen pouted. Then he yawned. Allen looked at him with worry. "Let´s get you to bed. You were wounded,….and then Paralyzed from my Brother, who knows what was in that dart." She stated like a worried mother. Allen looked at her in Alarm.

"Should I be worried?" he asked quickly. Who knows, maybe that Psycho poised the dart?!

Lenalee shook her head. "No, he´s harmless….most of the time." She added in after thought. Allen gave her a dry look. She smiled at him.

"Please go to bed." Lenalee didn´t sound like she was asking, it was more like "Go-to-bed-or-I-will-kick-you" tone. Allen sighed. He knew that it he wouldn´t win this argument. So he nodded like a obedient child and walked away.

"See you in the morning!" He waved her goodbye. When he wasn´t in sight anymore, Lenalee laid her hand on her chest.

"That was strange, but I really want to hear him sing…maybe I could coax him into singing in front of the others. I now that they all like music. Even Kanda." She thought fondly. It was weird. She felt a lot better now. She looked down on her shoes.

"..it´s like a protector. Like there´s always someone with me and supporting me. It´s a really great feeling! I don´t fear my Innocence. It´s like family I think!" She remembered his words. She smiled down at her Innocence. "Family, huh? Maybe you aren´t so bad." She muttered to herself gently. She walked away with a smile on her face. Happier and more confident than she had been in a long time, when she thought about her Innocence.

"Allen has a way with his words…" she thought fondly.

In Allen´s room.

Allen was lying on his bed. He was trying to sleep. "Well, the last mission was fucked up. I hope my next Mission is going better." He thought sleepy. "At least you didn´t have a run in with our Family!" Neah tried to cheer him up. Allen sighed fondly. "I know, I know." He responded. He felt his eyes drop shut. "Good night." Neah whispered softly.

DREAM (Allen´s Perspective)

I felt how something poked my cheek. I tried to ignore it to continue sleeping, but it was starting to get annoyed. I grabbed the think that was poking me.

"Oh your awake?" asked an excited female voice. I opened my eyes and saw Dream-Road standing next to me. I nodded. She seemed really happy. That wasn´t really new thought. She was usually happy, even with the war going on.

"Why did you wake me?" I asked calmly. I couldn´t stay mad at her for long. She may be older than me, but she really liked her family and Warthra just died.

She pouted and crossed her arms. "I just wanted to spend time with you, Alexander! Is that too much?" she whined like a little child. I sat up straighter. I was sleeping on a table earlier.

"What about Neacel or Pleasure?" I asked her. She would normally spend time with them. She looked down. "They were busy!" she complained. She sounded sad. I petted her head.

"How about we go and get some Candy? Or go to the playground?" I asked her. She was really like a child. She perked up and jumped up and down in excitement.

"Yes!" she cheered. I took her hand and walked with her out. I left a note for the others.

Road was swinging our hands back and forth. She was singing happily. Her eyes were glowing in happiness.

We got her, her candy and where now at a playground. She ran over to the swing and demanded that I should push her. I walked over to her and started to push her.

"Higher! Higher, Please!" she cheered. It was heart warming to see her so happy again. I pushed her a bit harder. In the evening we went back.

When we were walking back Road was hugging my Arm. She was talking about how much fun she had today and if we could do it again. I was listening to everything she said with full attention.

"You know, next time we could drag Neacel with us! Or do a family Picknick! Or we could do something together!" she ranted with enthusiasm. I nodded. It would be nice if we could do something together.

She suddenly stopped walking. She looked up at me. Her big sharp Golden eyes stared into my own. "I would really love it if I could stay like a child forever…" she admitted quietly. I was surprised at that. She was always protesting that she wasn´t a child and that she was one of the oldest.

I leaned down a bit and hugged her. She hugged back instantly. "You know that we will always be a family right? If you want to be a child a bit longer, than be it. Nobody will say anything about it." I promised. She relaxed and hugged me tighter.

"B-But I can´t I am one of the oldest, I am supposed to care for the younger ones! And one of them died! If I act like a child, then the others will surely die too!" she ranted panicked. Her voice broke in the middle of her sentence. I felt a stab of pain and sorrow at the reminder of Warthra.

I drew back and lightly hit my head against hers. Our forheads were touching. She went quiet and starred at me with big eyes.

"Who says that? We all know that your powerful. If you can cope better if your acting like a child then do! It doesn´t make the Situation worse, it cheers it up! You remind us that we don't have to act all depressed about it!" I scolded. Really, how could she think like that?

She let out a breath that she didn´t know she was holding it. She smiled softly. I leaned back and she hugged my arm again. She giggled softly.

"You know, I think it´s cute when you cheer me up! And when your pouting!" she added with a teasing grin. I felt my cheeks heat up.

"I wasn´t pouting, and I am not cute!" I denied. She only laughed more. "Denial isn´t good Alex~!" she sung. I sighed. We talked a bit of our memories of our family.

"Do you remember the time where Neacel cried because we accidentally destroyed his Piano?" Road asked with a grin. I laughed.

"Do you remember how Pleasure teased Wisdom about his books? He said that when he wants to read porn, he should do it in his room!" I chuckled. That time was so funny!

Road laughed. "Yes! Wisley was blushing bright red and he started screaming about how he would never read something like that! He refused to speak to Pleasure for a whole month!" she stated with a big smile.

We talked a bit more then she hugged me again.

"I wish we could live forever like this. Like in another Dimension or like in a Dreamworld!" she confessed. She sounded really tired. I sighed softly. "Don´t we all wish for that?" I asked. She snickered. "Maybe." She said.

She looked up at me. "If you die, and we meet again, you will not have forgotten right? No mater how much Time passes!" she sounded desperate. Her eyes were pleading. There was sadness. I looked at her.

"Of course! Was that a joke you made because of "Time"?" I asked her with a teasing grin. She looked relieved but then she pouted.

"I wasn´t joking, Fourglasses!" she teased. I felt offended. "Hey! Adam says they suit me!" I defended. Road snorted. "Of course he does! You are one of his Favourites! He wouldn´t dare to hurt your feelings!" she stated like it was obvious. I struck my tongue out at her.

"Say what you want Shorty, I like them!" I sung. She went red in the face. She punched me lightly in the arm.

"Wha? You were shorter than me last year!" she replied. I felt smug. "Last year!" I repeated. She suddenly looked amused. "You know that I am very short for a young woman right? What does that make you? You are like only half a head taller than me." She mocked. I blushed.

"I am still taller!" I yelled. We were almost back home. She laughed and we continued our way home.

END OF DREAM.

Allen woke up when he heard someone knock on the door. "Just a moment!" He yelled. He stood up and washed and dressed himself.

"Dreamworld huh? Forever a child…" he thought. Neah explained to him that this Road was almost exactly the same as the Road 7000 years back then. Well, he knew how she looked like and how she acted from his Memories from 35 years ago. It´s just the Power she has now.
