He happens to be all three: powerful for someone from his homeworld, not quite human anymore, and very well-equipped, especially mentally. This makes him a weapon. Better yet (although those who care for him are likely to disagree), he recognises this fact and has no problems applying himself as such. In a situation like this one, that does make him very useful. That is, when he isn't busy arguing with civilians to please just go and save themselves, which he very nearly does to Integra despite her badge, because really, he's not about to let anyone use themselves as bait.
"Sir," he begins, and it's just as well that the crows choose to cut him off with their cries at this very moment, saving them both from an unproductive debate. Gray eyes snap to the roiling sky, first wide and gauging, then narrowing in realisation. Allen can't make out what the creatures are saying either, but he knows what it means whenever any kind of build-up reaches a crescendo: they're quickly running out of time. That means they need a plan. Integra already has one, while Allen isn't even familiar with the lay of the land. All it takes is the thought of other victims to convince him, his acquiescence evident when all protest sags out of his shoulders, before they square with renewed determination.
"Alright." He can only trust that someone fit to escort a princess alone will be fine on her own, but it doesn't stop him from adding, "Please be careful. I'll be ready to cover you when you get back."
Casting the now secured doorway one last look, he turns towards the crossroads, and unless Integra has something to add, he'll be darting off to take up his position.
It's all good bb, I tend to bungee-edit things too \o/
