Summ: Four years ago, Tiedoll and Marie find a certain teenager asleep and unaffected by the poisonous gas from Akumas around. Now, in the present, Exorcists Allen Walker and Yuu Kanda head over to New York City to recruit a certain group of Avian-Americans. The question soon arises after running into Max- is Kanda who he says he is?

"_text_" Angel talking/putting thoughts in someone's head
A/N: I don't own any of the characters mentioned here at all- well, if you've seen their name in MR or DGM, anyway. They belong to Patterson/Hoshino, in that case.
Also. Set after the part of The Angel Experiment/first manga [at least I think...] in MR, or whatever book where Max had said that family isn't just a couple of the Flock, but all of them. They were sleeping in that cave, right after rescuing Angel I believe. So it's right after that part.
In DGM, this is set before the whole Alma Karma thing... but after Allen got control of the Gate, which means after the Edo Arc, I believe.
Set in both verses- aka, merged the two together. My explanation is that, for at least the area the Black Order is in, it's like those Renaissance places where everyone dresses like the past. But for the most part, the world is modern- the Black Order has been running the way it has been for ages and have decided not to change how they do so. Or something like that.
PS: note that I've only read up to... book 3? in the MR verse... ^^; and the characters might not be in character...
PROLOGUE
"Ugh!" I groaned as I sat up. My back ached and my vision was blurred.
"Max?" I called out. No answer- maybe she's asleep?
I blinked a few times as I tried to remember where I was and what had happened yesterday. "Iggy? Gasman, Nudge, Angel? Where...?" I realized that no one was going to answer me.
Why?
Because I was all alone.
I stood up suddenly, ready to U&A. Something had to be wrong. Why would they leave me, after Max had just said family wasn't just five or less of us, but all six?
My mouth opened slightly. There was blood everywhere- all around except just inches around where I was lying down. The trees and other plants had black star markings on them as well.
"What the f...?" I began. This wasn't where I was last night with the Flock... It wasn't even close.
I flinched when a hand was placed on my shoulder. I turned around sharply and saw an old man there- he certainly wasn't an Eraser so I relaxed a bit. Not much, but I still relaxed a little.
"Who are you?" I said bitterly. Was he the reason I was alone?
"I am General Tiedoll. I'd like you to come with me Fang," He answered. Another man walks up from behind Tiedoll- his eyes have the same distant look as Iggy's, suggesting that he too is blind.
"General Tiedoll, why is he still alive?" The man asked. "I thought this area was over taken by Akuma."
I raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Akuma?" I repeated. "W-"
The man suddenly lashed out and thin strings appeared to have just come out of somewhere, barely missing my shoulder.
I opened my mouth to yell out certain curses but the General and the man covered my mouth as well as their own.
A thick black gas started forming around us and I immediately held my breath. I slowly turned around and my eyes opened wide as I saw what the man had hit- a large looming creature with guns sticking out of its form and sad markings on its face. The strings were still attached to its heart as it turned into dust and gas.
The gas finally disappeared and Tiedoll removed his hand from my face. I spat and coughed after having held in my breath for so long.
"What the f was that?" I exclaimed.
"It was an Akuma." The blind man said simply.
"Marie, I think we should take the young man back to the Head Quarters," Tiedoll said.
Marie nodded. "Yes General. Fang, is it?"
I was about to nod before I remembered that Marie was blind- what is it with blind guys being able to act so normal, as if they could see? "Yeah," I replied. "But where is this HQ you're talking about?"
"Europe."
I groaned. If only I was alone and flying…
