Order
Eleanor leaned on the glass wall and saw that the moon is in full bloom. "How were you able to get such information?", Eleanor asked without looking at the lad. "The Central Agency is an organization with a lot of branches. They have their ways of placing their eyes in order to monitor what is happening around the world", Link saw the herb and started plucking leaves. "That's one scary organization", Eleanor had a short laugh. "Then two dots, what caught their attention?", the lady finally stared at Link's eyes. "My name is Howard Link. You were a potential crow. Another one in your troupe also had the same potential but he died earlier. His name was Frion", Link mentioned a name that made Eleanor's stomach churn.
"Upon seeing you kill hundreds and thousands, the Order deemed you unqualified to be a crow", Link decided that the leaves are enough to brew Louverier's tea. "How can someone with tainted hands be saving lives? Quite ironic, isn't it?", Eleanor stood as soon as she heard a voice.
Hatred. Anger. Pain.
She felt a sharp pain in her eyes.
"What are you so angered of?".
Pitiful. You are pitiful.
Eleanor looked at her reflection and saw her other eye already turned pitch black. "Howard Link, it takes courage to go through suffering than to just die", she reached out to her reflection. They heard the ringing of the bell.
"The exorcist have arrived".
Hall
Komui and the rest of the order line-up to welcome the exorcist. There are also medical staff preparing stretchers and syringe. Eleanor peeked and her eyes softened. Lenalee ran to his brother and he welcomed her in his arms. "Thank goodness", Eleanor hid on the wall and held close to her chest. "Aren't you going to see them?", Squalo happened to pass by. "I wasn't even able to give any help", Eleanor massaged her temple. "You're a part of the family already", Squalo said the unexpectable. It made Eleanor widened her eyes and laugh for a while.
Miranda cried a lot when Lenalee and Allen held on her hand. "Let go, Miranda", Allen said with a gentle voice. She nodded then released the time record. Everyone's wound came back. Eleanor ran to their side. The nearest person was Lavi. "We're home", Lavi said before fainting. Eleanor was able to catch him but she knelt on the floor letting Lavi's head rest on her lap. "Welcome back", she whispered. The only one standing is Kanda.
"Seconds are really convenient", Link commented as he watches Kanda follow Marie on the stretcher. Though he is commonly seen as cold, he cares for Marie and has unexplainable attachment to him. That explained why he felt irritated when Eleanor leeched on Marie. Eleanor went near Lenalee's bed. She reached to her shortened hair. Looking at the wounds, she knew that they've been into tough battles. A hand held unto Eleanor's. "I'm so glad to see you again", the white haired lady cupped Lenalee's hand. "Did something bad happened? You looked so sad", Lenalee asked worriedly. "You're really kind, Lenalee. You're the one who's beaten badly. Go and get your treatment", Eleanor forced a smile. It bothered Lenalee but the sores in her body made her feel dizzy.
They took the lady away. Kanda walked behind the lady. "You're alive and kicking, Kanda", Eleanor chuckled. "Did you wish me dead?", the lad stopped walking for a while. "You won't. There's something you need to do first, right?", Eleanor shrugged. Kanda furrowed his brow and felt suspicious of Eleanor. "Elly dear. You grew taller again?", Tiedol placed his hands on the lady's shoulder. "Marshal, welcome back", Eleanor greeted. Cross pushed Tiedol away. He stared down to Eleanor with an intimidating look. The lady gulped. She looked at his badge and realized he's also a Marshal. "Welcome back as well, Marshall", Eleanor bowed. Cross patted her head. For some reason, Eleanor felt warm with his pat. "Yes indeed, you've grown", he said like a father would. "Then, would you like to have a glass of wine with me?", Cross was back to his hunting hobby. He stoop down until he reached Eleanor's ear. "You have Shiraiah's gracefulness and Keanne's unyielding strength. Nice to meet you, Eleanor", Cross whispered. The lady was startled enough to be frozen.
Kanda noticed her not moving. "What did that pervert told you?", Kanda clicked his tongue. He walked towards her. After sometime, Eleanor started crying. Its been a while since she heard those names. Somehow, she started missing her parents. "Eleanor, the chief is calling you", Reever called to her. As her reflex, she hugged on Kanda to hide her teary face. Reever turned into stone. "My apologies then", he couldn't believe his eyes. "Get off me", Kanda tried to push her but the lady hugged him tightly.
"Next time, don't leave me alone", Eleanor pouted.
Female Infirmary
"Chief, you have to leave", the nurse sighed. "You're soiling the bed sheet", she added. Miranda chuckled.
The nurse finally kicked out Komui. "You really like your brother right, Lenalee", Miranda commented. Someone entered with a boquet of flower. "Chief Bak sends you these flowers", Eleanor sweat dropped remembering how Bak begged her. "That's thoughful of him", Lenalee smiled.
Eleanor sat on the chair and looked at Miranda as well. "You guys had it tough, right?", Eleanor opened. Lenalee reached out to the lady's face. "Dark circles under your eyes. That's not good Elly", Lenalee pouted. The lady was startled with how she was called. "I can call you that, right?", Lenalee felt a little embarassed. Eleanor nodded and fixed the flowers.
"I have been called for a mission so I'll be leaving tomorrow morning. I hope to hear more from you but you also need to rest. I'll be asking from time to time", Eleanor informed. "Most of us are recovering. I hope I can also join you in a mission", Lenalee sighed.
Ark
Allen sits on the piano chair and just felt confused with everything that happened.
