A/N: I really love the pairing of Lavi and Allen I find it so cute and loveable and that's why I decided to start this story but don't worry not everything is going to be a love relationship, there will be some adventure involved and maybe some future pairings.
Also I would like to let all of you know that I'm changing some things from the original anime like names and backstories, for example Allen's exorcising sword will be named Excalibur why you ask? Because he's British and I like the whole King Arthur going on. If this story gets reviewed at least 100 times before it ends I will write a sequel.
Fist Chapter
"A lost pocket watch"
Allen was sitting on the grass in his mansion's backyard,since his backyard was protected by four tall walls preventing him from seeing anything past those walls he was admiring the sun trying to capture every color, every feeling and every smell that involves being outside, he loved the end of each month because he was allowed to go outside for two hours and two hours only, but this day was going to be different, this day he would be able to taste freedom every time he'd like. Being outside made him alive and happy, God knows he missed the feeling of being happy since the day his father passed away.
His tiny moment of happiness was interrupted by a young woman wearing a long black dress with a white shirt underneath, her black hair and black eyes were something that intrigued Allen even to this day, though she dresses so gloomy and had such black hair she always managed to seem happy and optimistic, that was something Allen always had admired of her. If there was someone who knew Allen like a son that someone was probably this woman.
"Hey Miranda" Allen said greeting the woman with a smile.
"Hello Master Allen" she replied "are you ready?"
"Sure am" he responded standing up "Please stopping adding the 'Master' it makes me feel old, is Krory ready?"
"Me and him are ready" She led Allen inside the house "Do you have everything packed up?"
"Everything that matters" he showed her a bag with not much inside.
"Well then we should get going" with that they both left for the garage.
When they entered they immediately noticed their friend Krory wearing his usual black pants, his white shirt and a black cape on top, the black cape only accentuated even more the white streak of hair that he had,they could also notice his depressed face looking at the cars, the cars that he wouldn't drive ever again, that pained Miranda and Allen because they knew Krory felt wonderful when he had that much horse power on his hands, still for what he was getting in return it was
worth it, everything was worth it. Krory managed to show a smile and signaled that he was ready showing his suitcase. They all nodded and left the house quietly so that nobody would notice.

Lavi was on the roof of a building with his four-man gang behind him, they hadn't gotten any significant amount of money since yesterday and they needed the money if they wanted to drink and eat. Lavi always felt bad about stealing from the rich, he knew that it wasn't fair but he it also wasn't fair how the rich overworked the working class and stole money from taxes, what he did he did it for protecting his "family" that being his gang, having a rough childhood made him search for brothers on the street people who would always support him no matter what, the people standing behind him right now, that's everything he had in the world.
"Have you decided our next target Lavi?" Reever asked.
"No" Lavi sighed "All the good fish are out apparently"
"I don't blame them" Deesha said while playing with his soccer ball "This city is getting worse by the minute"
"Don't say that" Marie interrupted "There are good people in this city too"
Lavi took a moment to look at his three friends, all of them met back when they were ten years old, all having being raised in different environments and with very different personalities, still they were his family and he cherished them.
Reever loved to read and therefore his dream was to one day be able to buy a library and read all of the books in it, he was the one with the brains in his family. The habit of reading probably came from his foster family since they made him study all day, he said that reading adventure books were his chance to escape all the studying hell his life revolved around of, until one day he got sick and tired and actually left his foster family.
Deesha on the other hand lived for two things and two things only: his family and soccer, he was always playing with his soccer ball that Lavi got him in Christmas practicing for one day being able to play in the big leagues and be the world's greatest soccer player there is. He grew with no father and no mother, all he had was his older brother, he was the one that showed him the beauty behind soccer, unfortunately his brother died in a car accident and he was left alone.
And finally Noise Marie, the most relaxed and quiet one, he said that money isn't really that important to him because he was taught that too much money, like everything in this world will do you bad, he grew inside a church with a priest as a father, one day the priest taught him how to play the organ and Marie simply fell in love with the sound that it made because listening was something that Marie was best at.
Lavi's attention shifted towards the street when he saw a silver haired boy, a black haired woman and a guy wearing a cape making their way through the crowded streets, they seemed so innocent
and the clothes meant that they were rich or at least had enough money to afford a cape, Lavi smiled.
"We got ourselves a target" Lavi said pointing his hand over at the new victims "Marie what can you tell me about them?"
"Mmm, they have a lot of money carrying inside of one bag that the white haired boy is carrying, probably on their way to the bank and he is holding to something apparently precious to him on his left pocket, something with a chain apparently" Everyone was always astonished as to how much Marie could find out by just listening.
"Well then, we should get started" Deesha said putting away his soccer ball.

"Are we there yet?" Allen said with a tired look.
"Stop asking! We'll get there when we get there" Miranda said sending him an evil glare.
"Want me to help you with you bag Allen?" Krory volunteered "It looks really heavy"
"Don't worry I've got i-"Allen was interrupted by the pain of a red haired boy crashing against him, Allen rubbed the spot on his face where he landed, stood up and helped the boy.
"I'm really sorry mister, are you okay?" the red headed asked smiling "I have to watch where I'm going"
"I'm okay, don't worry" The red headed left and Allen turned to Krory and Miranda he let out a big sigh "Go on, I'll meet you at the hotel"
"Why?"The other two asked.
"Because that guy just took the bag with the money and my pocket watch!" He tried to calm their faces "Don't worry, remember I have "it" I can get it back easily, still stealing MY pocket watch will bring him serious consequences"
His friends nodded and continued their way, they knew that leaving behind Allen was technically breaking their promise but they also knew that Allen, although he seemed weak had a lot of power, power that he'd used to save his two friends several times. But that didn't take the worry away when they saw Allen head towards the alley where the thief had previously gone to.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Lavi never thought it would be this easy, apparently he'd mistaken the two grown ups that the silver haired boy was with for bodyguards, when he reached the end of the alley his friends were waiting for him with a worried look.
"Did he follow you?" Deesha asked.
"No" Lavi answered with a proud look.
"Yes he did" Marie said opening his eyes in surprise "He's above us"
The four of them looked up and saw the silver haired boy on top of a window frame, jumping down and landing in a really graceful manner, the three silently concluded that this wasn't going to be easy, but then again that's part of the job when you're a thief.
"How did you-"Lavi tried to ask but he was cut off.
"Give me the money and the watch back, please" Allen said with a bored look.
"Sorry but we don't play that way" Deesha answered grabbing the money bag from Reever (which apparently had the pocket watch inside) and kicked it on Lavi's way.
Lavi immediately started running followed by Allen still wearing the same bored look, Lavi knew this city better than anyone so he could loose this guy in a heart beat, or so he thought. The red headed ran up the stairs of an abandoned building and when Allen caught up, he was forced to jump to the roof of the building next to it, still the boy managed to follow him everywhere he went. Roof jumping wasn't working so Lavi moved the chase to the street level, still the silver haired boy managed to follow him. Several minutes passed before Lavi started to get tired and contacted Reever by his cell phone to find a better route to loose this guy.
"Reever I need another escape route, this guy isn't giving up" Lavi said talking to the cell phone.
"Sorry but there's not" Reever answered in an apologizing tone "You'll have to take him down with "it". Still you should be careful, this isn't a normal guy"
Lavi suddenly stopped on the roof of another building and for the first time in since the chasing started he looked at the boy. He was wearing a black vest on top of a white shirt and black pants, but what bothered him most was that he was using a bored look like if chasing him across half a city had been easy, the guy wasn't even panting from all the running.
"Will you give me back my pocket watch?" Allen spoke.
"Why do you care so much about it?" Lavi inquired "Remember I also have your money, isn't that more important to you than a stupid pocket watch?"
"I don't have to explain myself to you" Allen replied.
"Sorry, but you underestimated me" Lavi said as he reached for his thigh and pulled out a small hammer "This isn't a normal hammer, you know?"
"I don't care, give me back my pocket watch!"Allen yelled.
"Haha, sorry but this the end for you" Lavi said raising his hammer "Elder Hammer, grow grow grow!"
The hammer grew with each word enough to be able to squash Allen if it fell on top of him, Allen was surprised by the fact that the red headed had Innocence, but that didn't distract him from the fact that he still wanted his pocket watch and the money back.
"I'll only hit you hard enough to knock you out, I promise" Lavi smiled and swung the hammer in the direction of Allen's left hand, he thought it was probably going to be over with one hit, he only had to used his hammer once before with another guy who managed to follow him across the city before still he passe out with merely seeing the size of the hammer, this guy was certainly special because of the fact that even though there was a giant hammer on it's way to squash him he was still wearing the bored look on his eyes. Allen couldn't help but smirk at the fact that the thief was using Innocence without realizing what it was, not many people have a piece of Innocence and those that do work in the police squad, up until now Allen thought he was the only exception.
The hit connected but not in the way Lavi intended it to, there had been a bright flash coming from Allen right before the hit and now the hammer seemed to have hit something hard and like metal, when the flash ended Lavi was surprised at the boy, he was covered with what appeared to be a white cape with a hood and his left arm had turned into a big sword with a cross on the blade that was blocking the hammer.
Lavi was shocked to say the least, that boy certainly wasn't normal but still he wasn't going to give up, the thought of his family starving made him push himself even harder, he wasn't about to go back to his family empty handed so he swung the hammer several times, each one being blocked by Allen's sword without breaking a sweat.
"I thought you said you were going to knock me out" Allen smirked with the same bored look on his face "Will you give me my pocket watch back?"
"No!" Lavi yelled back.
"You're in a clear disadvantage here" Allen said walking up to the thief "You don't even know what that hammer is, do you? I'd teell you but really I only want my pocket watch and my money back, all you need to know is that I'm way past your level when it comes to handling Inocence"
"The only thing I care right now is taking you down!" Lavi replied "Why do you care so much about this money and this pocket watch?! You're rich, I can tell by your clothes, why don't you go back to your mansion and your privileged life where your daddy will probably buy you a new watch and give you more money?!"
Allen snapped.
"I find it very hard to call my life 'privileged'" Allen replied looking at the floor "You don't even know me! That watch that you have right there is irreplaceable and it means the world to me! And I'll be damned if I'll let a thief that thinks he knows everything just because he looked at my damn clothes have it!"
"Wow, is the pocket watch worth this much?" Lavi said taking out the watch from the bag and looking at it, however something bothered him and when he found the answer he couldn't help but laugh "Hey this pocket watch is fake, the metal that was used building it is very common. Hahaha and you thought it was worth that much"
"No" Allen interrupted taking away the laughterb"I've always known it was fake and it doesn't have a high value, but it still means a lot to me" Allen raised his sword one more time pointing it on the direction of the red headed "Now give me back the money and the watch"
"Fine" Lavi replied throwing the watch to Allen "But I'm keeping the money, that doesn't mean a lot to you, right?"
When Allen got back his watch he put it back on his pocket and smiled, he felt complete again. "Sorry but I'll need the money too" Allen said focusing again on the thief "I'll need it to start my new life with my family"
"Family?" Lavi smirked "What could a guy like you know about real family when you've lived pampered all this time?"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Allen snapped of anger, he had had enough coming from a person who berely knew him "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME OR MY FAMILY AND DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK TO ME LIKE I'M A PAMPERED AND SELFISH PERSON!"
Lavi knew he had no chance of winning this battle but still he had to try, he owed it to his family he had to protect them and he couldn't let them down, still he didn't know if he could beat this guy, he had already blocked all of his attacks no matter from which angle they came. He wasn't going to give up and he was trying to focus on finding a way out of this one when a voice came to his head a voice that somehow seemed familiar, although Lavi couldn't place from where.
"Innocence level two Fire seal. Lavi use it, use it to protect those who you care for".
"Who's there?" Lavi asked turning his head trying to find the source of the voice "Where are you?"
"Fire Seal, Lavi. Remember it" the voice faded away with an echo.
Lavi didn't know who or what that voice was nor did he care too much, right now what mattered was to take down that guy and buy food for his friends so he held his hammer high and yelled:
"Innocence Level Two" Around the hammer appeared a strange symbol that Lavi figured out meant fire "Fire Seal"
With that he smashed the hammer on the ground, the symbol was imprinted on the on the ground and immediately flames in the form of giant snake started to come from the it. Lavi still didn't know how to control it so he was forced to duck so he wouldn't get burned; Allen on the other hand protected himself with his white cape. He was somewhat surprised that someone who ignored what Innocence was managed to summon a technique level two. It wasn't until Allen saw that the snake was out of control that he dared speak to the thief.
"Idiot!" Allen yelled to Lavi "Why did you summon that if you don't know how to control it?"
He was right, the fire started to go crazy and was smashing the ground causing the building to shake which normally led to collapsing, Lavi started to fall because a piece of the roof he was standing on started to fall, his life didn't flash through his eyes what he saw was his family feeling hungry and worried, a few thoughts came to his mind.
"So this is it huh?" he sighed "I'm sorry everyone, I failed" His eyes were still closed specting the death that he knew was coming when he suddenly heard someone yell:
"Clown Belt!" Lavi shot his eyes wide open when he saw the silver haired boy make the white cloth around him extend catching Lavi before he was crushed by a rock. Lavi was confused, why had this person helped him when he had stolen from him and offended him? His eyes narrowed as he saw another piece of the ceiling on its way of crushing the two, still Allen had some tricks up his sleeves.
"Excalibur!" Allen commanded to his sword, which pierced the rock and cleared their way to a safe place.
When they were at a safe distance from the collapsed building they saw that the fire serpent the red haired had summoned had been extinguished and all it was left was a large pile of rubble where the building the battle took place had been.
Allen put down Lavi on the ground and made his cape and sword disappear, Allen was panting, all the rock smashing and extreme jumping had exhausted him so he leaned on the wall of the alley they were currently on and sat next to the red haired.
"Where's…………..the money?" He asked still panting and trying to cath his breath.
Lavi's face went into shock, the last thing he remembered about the bag of money was that he had dropped it when the building started to collapse, he was angry, all that effort, all that running and his almost deatch experiencewere for nothing. But somehow what bothered him more was the fact that the white haired boy had saved him without knowing if he had the money, why? This guy certainly wasn't normal.
"I must have dropped it" Lavi said sheepishly.
"Great….Miranda is going………. to be furious" He said closing his eyes trying no to think on how Miranda acted when she was angry, the mere thought sent chills up his spine.
"I think that money is the least of our problems" Lavi answered "Look over there" he said as he pointed in the direction of the rubble.
There were several police officers surrounding the area, but was even more troublesome was the fact that some of them were approaching the two right now, running was useless seeing as how they were on an alley and tired, too tired to draw they're weapons.
"What do we have here?" One of them asked sarcastically "Bringing down building isn't nice kids didn't your mom teach you guys that?"
"You're coming with us to the station" The other replied.
"Let's hope you have money for bale" The other one said laughing and leading them into the police car.
"Nop" Allen said letting out another sigh "Miranda isn't going to be happy at all"
A/N: I had so much fun writing the last part and even more in the next chapter when they go to jail (briefly) anyway I know I changed some things but don't worry it will all make sense in the future.
Remember to review you know what happens if 150 people do it.
