Author's Note: This is a first time writing a few OCs (Original characters) for this fandom. I'm actually hesitant of typing up one as I'm still uneasy how to portray them without outshining them with DGM characters. As for timeline wise, it will be start before Suman Dark Arc.
I need to stop creating new fics as I need to complete others first. The list hasn't stop growing. Orz...
[Black Order HQ]
A fellow female exorcist raised her brow with her arms crossed. "I knew I shouldn't doubt Lavi when he told me about you, Allen Walker, but you really do have a big appetite."
Allen perked up from his four towers of empty, dirty dishes and looked over at speaker in front of him. A piece of dango hanging in his mouth as he mumbled. "Hi!" He swallowed. "Pleased to meet you, Miss..."
"Celine Carnelian. Pleased to meet you too." as she stared up and down at tower of dishes in front of her. "So that's what Parasite-type Innocence does to its Accommodators."
Allen's curious eyes were still staring at this new person in front of him. He has seen her a couple of times passing by in headquarters, but never got the chance to interact.
Her dark auburn, curly hair sat above chest level with her emerald eyes were quite striking which most guys in headquarters stopped to admire her beauty. She was about the same height as Komui when she's wearing her long, dark black boots with one inch heels. Her white skin complimented their Exorcist uniform which it looked like her normal attire.
"If you don't mind I ask, but what kind of Innocence do you have, Miss Celine?" as he swallowed his last piece of dango.
She chuckled happily. "Equipment-type Innocence. I'm wearing it right now."
He cocked his head as his eyes searched on her until something shiny glare at him. It must be the lighting along with how she moved her wrist caught his attention quick.
"A bracelet?" with his curious response.
"Two exactly. It came as a pair." as she lifted one of her arms up straight and shook her wrist so that her golden bracelet was making a chinning sound from the tiny bell. It was a very detailed engraving of a dragon.
"Wow. So pretty." with twinkles in his eyes.
"Thanks. It looks better in action." as she smiled and winked. "I heard about your Innocence a lot lately. I like to see it in action sometime soon."
Celine got up from her seating and lean over the table with one hand on the table for support with another cupping Allen's chin. She smiled as her hand tilted his chin up with her thumb brushing along his bottom lip. Allen gulped.
"Clown Crown, is it? Sounds enticing." as she moved closer to his face. "Maybe you can show me with-"
*THWACK*
Allen blinked and looked down at Celine, face flat on the table, rubbing the back of her head. She recovered quickly and was glaring at the person behind her who was holding an empty tray in her hands.
"Honestly Celine, you are a spitting image of General Cross Marian minus his bad smoking habit." another female Exorcist who was holding the tray behind her back now.
"Damn it, Serenity. You didn't have to hit my beautiful head." as she stood up quick and glaring straight into her brown eyes.
She was much shorter than Celine, but the same height as Lenalee. Her smooth black hair was tied into a braid and resting over her shoulders which stopped around her chest area.
"Supervisor Komui wanted to see you both in his office soon. You both have a mission together." as Serenity ignored the glaring red-headed and looked at Allen. "Be careful with Celine. She's similar to Kanda Yuu in battle."
"HEY! Don't you compare me to that damn prick of a jerk!" as she fumed. "I will kick that prick's ass when I see him!"
Serenity giggled softly.
"I guess I'm not the only one about kicking Kanda's ass." as Allen made a mental note.
He blinked again when he saw Serenity's left hand held out in front of him. He took her hand with his left and shook when he felt a slight comforting sensation from his hand. Comforting? Allen felt puzzled with the feel as he didn't notice Celine's uneasy look.
Serenity's smile soften as she released her hand away and whispered low to herself, "I missed you..."
'Missed me?' Allen cocked his head again. "Are you okay, Miss Serenity?"
She blinked and gave a nervous laugh. "I apologize. You must go see Komui soon before he bring out his Komuirins."
"Oh yeah. Thanks." as Allen walked past her, but paused to look and then left.
"Idiot. You shouldn't have touch him." as she walked up to Serenity and placed her hand on her shoulder while keeping her head up straight. "I'll let Komui know."
Serenity gave a sad smile with her head down. "I'll go see Hevlaska after my studies."
"Sometimes I wonder why I can't stay mad at you."
Celine sighed and patted her head as she walked away to catch up with Allen. Serenity sighed in defeat as she placed the tray next to the piles of empty dishes on the table and stared at her right palm. It was a comforting and nostalgic feeling. Her right hand grasping her small butterfly necklace as she stood quietly with her eyes closed.
She felt a pair of strong arms encircling around her body, pulling her into his embrace and resting his chin on top of her head. She gave a small smile while resting her ear as she heard and felt a vibrating growl from his chest.
"Why did you touched Moyashi's cursed hand?" Kanda asked.
She stayed silent.
Kanda clicked his tongue. "Another solo mission."
She looked immediately and shook her head fast. "I'll be fine, Kanda. I-"
"I've told you before. You're the only one who can called me by my first name." He paused. "I refused to repeat the same mistake."
"Yuu." as she whispered his name and gently pushed Kanda back. "I'll be late for my studies."
As she walked past Kanda, his hand grasped her wrist quick without looking at her. Time seems to stop between them for a moment, but Kanda released his grip on her wrist as she continued to walk away without looking back.
"Che." as he walked the opposite direction.
"I see. I guess Kanda has to go solo on this one then." as Komui leaned back on his messy desk with his coffee cup in one hand.
Celine glared intently at Komui who seems to ignore looking at her while sipping his coffee as Allen was watching the exchange looks. Allen scratched the back of his head while he gave a nervous laugh as it was an awkward atmosphere. He looked at Celine who was sitting next to him on the couch with her arms and legs crossed. She looked like she wanted to skin Komui alive with the mention of Kanda and Serenity for any pair mission. He wondered why.
"You should be happy now, Celine! It'll be just Kanda's solo mission!" as Komui placed his coffee cup on the table and happily clapped his hands together.
Celine immediately glared at Allen who squeaked and moved to the edge of the couch fast. Allen wondered why is she glaring him now. He didn't do anything except shaking hands with Serenity and she initiated first. Was there something that she wasn't supposed to do? She huffed and looked away.
"Allen." with his stern voice.
Allen shot up straight from his seat as he felt a lot more nervous than before entering the room.
"How should I say this? Hmm..." as Komui tried to think how to phrase his answer. "Serenity's Innocence is a bit complicated to explain."
Celine huffed again. "When she touches an Accommodator's Innocence, her Innocence bonds with them."
Allen cocked his head. "What do you mean bond?"
"It just bonds. We still don't know how and why, but it does." as Komui adjusted his glasses. "But it means you cannot be reckless with your mission, Allen Walker."
He gulped hard. "What do you mean, Komui?"
"You are pretty damn slow, you slowpoke Moyashi."
"It's Allen, you stupid Kanda." as he stood up and turned around immediately.
Celine glared at the offending intruder from behind. "You have no say to this, you piece of shit."
Allen looked at Celine and then Kanda as he backed away enough to be standing next to Komui. The heat intensity was high in the room between the two glaring at each other. It was suffocating to breathe.
Komui spoke up while watching the two. "Serenity almost died a few years ago when she and Celine were on a mission in Italy."
"That idiot girl didn't tell us beforehand that she bonded with this prick's Innocence knowing how reckless he was with his own damn life." as Celine gave Allen a quick serious look.
"Allen, don't be reckless with your life. She can see and feel them when you are near death or similar on a mission. Even if you're in another part of the world, her Innocence can feel it. We aren't sure exactly why though." as Komui glanced over to see Allen's shocked look.
"Che. Don't lecture me, you old hag. You are guilty as well." as Kanda glared at Komui. "I can handle this mission on my own, you idiot. Stop interrupting her studies."
Kanda glared at Celine again and walked with a scowl on his face. Celine stuck her tongue out at him.
"These two were like that before the incident." as Komui whispered in Allen's ear. "Celine hates Kanda the moment they met."
As Allen thought to himself. "Similar how they first met too." He looked at Celine who scowled like one pissed off feline.
Celine shoot a dirty look at them. "Tell us our mission already, Komui. Damn it. It's better be a place where Akumas are highly infested!"
"It's her way of venting her frustration." as Komui whispered to Allen again.
Allen nodded as he went back to his seat next to a fuming Celine while listening to Komui explaining their mission's objectives.
"No way Kuro-chan! Yuu-chan would never do that to anyone, let alone a girl!"
"It's true, Lavi. I saw it in person when I walked past the cafeteria."
Both Lavi and Krory were walking together and heading towards to Komui's office to report. Lavi just dropped off Bookman at library when he met a slightly stunned Krory standing near the entrance of the cafeteria.
"My eyes saw it clear. Kanda did hug a female. Another Exorcist, nonetheless."
Lavi rubbed his chin and grinned. "Hmm... I can guess which one it is. It must be-"
Speak of the devil.
He stopped and waved at the very person they talked about. "Hey Yuu-chan!"
Lavi's nose met a sharp, tap kiss of Mugen. With a nervous laugh, he asked, "On a mission, Yuu? Where's your partner?"
Kanda scowled. "Stop calling by my first name, baka Usagi. It's a solo instead."
Lavi cocked his head while Krory stood silently as he watches their exchanges. "Who is it this time?"
"Moyashi. Che. Move aside, fools." as Kanda walked past between them as they moved aside.
"Friendly as usual, that Kanda."
Lavi nodded and snickered. "Poor Yuu-chan didn't get to be with his girlfriend this time again~"
Krory looked back at Lavi with his confused expression. "I've heard rumors about that so is it true?"
"It's only true if they said so themselves." as Lavi still gazing at the hallway. "But with this line of work, it's suicidal to be in love. Let's go Kuro-chan, Komui is waiting for us."
Lavi patted on Krory's shoulder which he looked back at Lavi and they both resumed their walk to Komui's office.
"Just breathe normally and clear your minds." with her gentle voice as one of her tendrils relaxes on Serenity's forehead.
"I knew she will skip out of her studies and head straight here. How is she doing, Hevlaska?" as Komui walked in quietly and watches the scene from a small distance.
"She's doing better than before. This will ease her mind more when the time comes."
"Just hope not anytime soon. We can't lose anymore Exorcists than we scarcely have." as Komui walked close to the rail and looking up at Hevlaska. "Do you still have any slight idea on this yet?"
Hevlaska shook her draconian head.
"If she is doing okay, then I will send her out immediately today. This one is a bit tricky to locate, but I believe she can find it better than anyone else."
"Komui, you rarely send her out on a solo mission."
"I know. She was supposed to be with Kanda, but as you can see, a slight change of plans." as he adjusted his glasses. "If I remember correctly, General Tiedoll would be near the vicinity. I will inform him about this."
"Celine or Kanda Yuu will not be pleased with this sudden change of heart, Komui."
"I know, Hevlaska. However, she is still an Exorcist and I cannot treat her no different like I do with the others. I will have to send her out."
"Do you hear that, Serenity?" as Hevlaska released her tendril.
She opened her eyes slowly and nodded in response. Komui sighed with uneasiness, but cleared his throat as he told her mission objective and instruction in details.
