Lenalee hummed a little tune as she carried the cup of coffee towards the science department. The moment she entered the door, she was greeted by the usual hectic sight, of Komui trying to wriggle out of Reever's grip as he tried to run away to escape work.
At the sight of Lenalee, Komui managed to squirm free like a fish. He rushed to Lenalee's side, salivating and chanting repeatedly, "Coffee…coffee…coffee from my dear Lenalee…"
Lenalee gave an indulgent smile as she lifted the tray, "Here's your coffee, brother."
Lavi groaned as he sank further into a gigantic pile of books. He covered his head with a book thicker than his fist.
Bookman snorted at him, "How can you hope to succeed me if you can't even handle reading these few books?"
"Give me a break!" Lavi complained, "We've been at it for four hours! And I've already one fifty-two books!"
Bookman pointed out ruthlessly, "I've done seventy-five. So keep going."
Lavi mumbled under his breath.
Kanda slashed brutally at the wooden dummies before him, his long blue hair streaming out behind him. Other onlookers slowly, cautiously edged away as Kanda's attacks got fiercer and fiercer.
Without pausing, Kanda gave an uppercut and sent the dummy flying into the air. Then he turned and glared murderously at the people who had come to watch him practice. Immediately, almost the entire bunch of them fled, fearing for their lives.
Yep, this was the way a usual day started out at the Black Order.
Then there was an ear-piercing scream. And another. And then it broke of suddenly, abruptly. Lenalee, Lavi and Kanda's heads immediately whipped around, like the others around them. The only difference was that they were the only ones who recognised that voice at once.
"Allen…" As one, yet separately, the trio whispered. Then they took off from their respective positions, all making their way to the same destination: Allen Walker's room.
Lenalee reached there first, thanks to her Dark Boots. She knocked on the door repeatedly, anxiously, but there was no reply. Lavi was the next to arrive there. He watched silently as Lenalee's knocks became more frantic, till she was hammering on the door. But still there was no reply. The duo stared at each other in horror.
Finally, Kanda arrived. He glared at the other two in disgust, "Are you stupid or what? Knock the damn door down!" He pushed them aside, and just slammed his body into the door, which immediately gave way. They rushed into the bedroom, but it was empty. Lavi lunged for the toilet door, and forced it open. Then he stopped and stared. Kanda and Lenalee came up behind him. And they, too, froze in surprise.
Allen Walker was just straightening up, from where he had been lying on the ground. The mirror in the toilet was broken, and its bloodied, shattered fragments lay scattered on the ground. Allen's left fist was badly cut, and covered in bright red blood. He turned. He was still human, and not a Noah, like the trio had feared at first. But he was completely different.
Allen Walker gave the trio the most evil, menacing glare they had ever seen (yes, it was even more frightening than Kanda's)
Then he said in a voice, cold and sharp as ice, "Scram. You're not welcome here."
