Central Meeting Hall of the Geass Society. May 15th. 2020 A.T.B

In a small room a woman sat with her head on the only table. She held a hand to her head as if covering her ears from an unwelcomed sound, yet the room itself was silent. For over an hour she sat there, trying to escape whatever horrid sound plagued her. Every few minutes she would mumble under her breath. The words were barely audible but two words were very distinct. "shut up"

Several more minutes passed until the rooms solitary door swung open suddenly. Through the entryway a man appeared. Despite the mess of hair covering his eyes he made his to the chair opposite the blue haired woman. He did spun his chair so that it's back was too her and knelt down on the cushioned surface so that he hung over the back. He swung his chair side to side to try and garner the attention of the rooms other occupant. She continued ignoring his presence however.

This did not stop the man from grimacing. He even chuckled heartily as if he had heard a silent joke. Everything about him seemed so childlike, everything apart from his eyes. Eyes that contained so much contempt could hardly be compared to the innocence and naivety of a child.

"You know blocking your ears won't help."

A small movement revealed just one hazel eye. It stared deeply into the man with utter annoyance.

"I don't care." She rolled her to the side so that only the back of her head was visible again.

Another chuckle from the man. "It isn't so bad. I think it's hysterical."

"That isn't the word that I would use to describe M.M. I hate hearing him talk. Why can't he just keep his thoughts to himself? Just because we can transmit thoughts and speech doesn't mean we should. And more importantly he shouldn't be sending them to me." K.K. wrapped her arm around her head now as if she were trying to escape the inevitable next thought.

"I just can't believe how little security there is here. I know this is an underground waterway that probably isn't well known but still. The Empress of Britannia is here for fucks sake! These people are literally begging me to crash this dumb wedding."

"Ugggghh." K.K. slapped her hand to her head. "I don't care. Why doesn't he understand that? No one cares what he is doing. And we sure as hell don't need audio updates on every move he makes.

B.B. couldn't help himself from laughing. It was almost like watching a sitcom. These two were definitely something else. "Maybe he does know and simply doesn't care. Better yet maybe he just likes to piss you off" He chuckled thinking of it. That was definitely something that he would do.

K.K. grimaced at his suggestion. "If he weren't immortal than I would kill him. Anything for a moment of peace and quiet!." She had sat up and slammed her hands down on the table during the last outburst.

You guys will never guess who I just caught off guard.

She was simply not having this anymore. Shut the hell up Mikael! Take your missions seriously for a change. You spend so much time telling us what you are doing, do you even know what is going on around you?

She sat and waited for the upcoming reply. Whatever he was going to say was sure to be as annoying as usual. And she waited. But nothing came. It was oddly quiet.

B.B. spoke after several minutes of eerie silence. Would you look at that, you actually shut up.

Again no response. It was started to get very strange now. M.M. loved subjected others to his voice too much to let so much time pass without saying something. Even with K.K.'s outburst he would have normally just made some smartassy remark or criticism. Yet still no words came from him.

A scowl came over B.B.'s face. "Damn it. M.M. is such an idiot."

K.K. stood up. She wasn't as pleased by the silence as she had hoped for. "You don't think he..."

"Yes. That fool got himself captured." He glared at K.K. now. "Looks like you were right about one thing. Talking too much finally got him in quite a predicament."

She stood there stoicly. She had been right. But it didn't make her feel better for it. Despite M.M. being a pompous ass and the most annoying person she had ever met. He was still one of them. Zero had taken another of their family away from them now. She was going to personally make sure that he paid for it.

Underground laboratory located in the Tokyo settlement. May 16th. 2020 A.T.B.

(Lelouch P.O.V.)

The lab was quiet. Even with the addition of the new prisoner things were very quiet. He knew would change once the imprisoned awoke. But for now he wanted to relish in the silence.

He stepped down a flight of stairs and approached a large transparent container. Inside lying on a bed that could give a hospital a run for it's money was a young looking man with a scarred face and bright blonde hair.

For over a day now the man remained comatose. This itself shocked Lelouch. He knew that the tranquilizer that he created was designed to work on code bearers, but he didn't think it would last quite this long. The restorative properties of the code in their cells should have begun returning him to normal by now. He began making notes about the dosage and materials used in the creation of the drug so that it could be altered for future usage.

After this he went over to a large computer terminal and began booting up the system. Several screens came to life at once. They were monitoring several places around the world. Most were focused on his friends and past acquaintances. Some were however in places likely to be around where the Geass Society was opperating. He had still found no luck in tracing there whereabouts though.

He sighed, it was only a matter of time until he discovered where they were. And afterall he had all the time in the world now.

Suddenly he heard a groan from behind him. He spun in his chair to see the prisoner stirring. He stood and began walking to the containment unit.

Inside the blonde was rubbing the back of his neck where he had been stabbed. He had grunted something that Lelouch did not hear. It was then that the man suddenly jumped up and looked around himself frantically. Looks like he is aware of his predicament now.

It did not take long for the man to meet eyes with Lelouch. Needless to say his face was full of shock.

"You!? You are still alive?"

"Quite perceptive aren't you, M.M.?"

M.M. jumped back at the mention of his Code name. "You shut your mouth demon."

Lelouch laughed silently to himself. He hadn't been called something like that to his face in a long time. It was kind of nostalgic.

"You don't know how foolish it was to show your face to me do you? Now all of the others know that you are alive too." He stood with a triumphant grin plastered to his face.

Lelouch merely stood there. A smile crept up on his lips. "Oh do they? Don't you find it odd that they aren't talking to you right now?"

The grin disappeared quickly from M.M.'s face. "How did you know that?"

"Easy. I built this lab. And I invented the technology to block out the mental communication of we code bearers."

He let the sentence sink in before continuing.

"So now do you realize how isolated you right now? No one is going to find you here, no one is going to know that I'm alive, and no one is going to help you."

He took a few steps back and turned to his computer terminal. On one of the screens he saw Kallen approaching the meeting point that he had told to her the day previous. It was time to wrap up with M.M. for the day.

"I hope that you like the sound of your own voice M.M. It's going to be the only one you hear for some time."

"I'm going to kill you, you damn brat! Just you..."

The rest of his rant was cut off at the touch of a button. Lelouch turned to see M.M. still yelling but without the irritating sound that came out of his mouth. He knew making the room soundproof at will was a good investment. Now it was time to meet with Kallen.

His heart felt warm for the first time in over a year at the thought of speaking to her normally again. It was true that you never really appreciated what you had until it was gone. He wasn't going to make that mistake with her again.

It took some time but here is the update at long last. A first taste at Lelouch's perspective. Admittedly there won't be as much of his pov as say Kallen or Suzaku. This is mostly because I see lelouch as more a secondary character in this continuation. He is still and will be very important to the story. But the former two are definitely the drivers of the story and their interactions with Lelouch will be enough to heavily include him as time goes on. There will be some backtracking soon to discuss Lelouch's activities to some degree in the last two years but that is a bit down the road.

Again I can't apologize enough for the long time this took nor can I express enough gratitude to the people who encouraged me to continue and helped me through the hard times. I'm glad to be back and can't wait to let you all continue reading this story of Code Geass. Until the next update, have a great time everyone!
