Allen, Miranda, Lenalee, Lavi, and Kanda were all sent to Italy to find a strong amount of innocence that the Order finally pin pointed it in Venice. Allen sat in the train cart thinking about why the order needed so many people; Lenalee saw Allen's confusion and decided to question it.
"What's the matter Allen, are you okay?" Lenalee asked concerned about her friend, Allen snapped back to reality and focused on Lenalee's question.
"I'm fine Lenalee it's just that, don't you think it's odd that Komui sent so many exorcists just to retrieve innocence." Allen stated, Lenalee started to think about it and shrugged her shoulders. Kanda made a noise of annoyance at Allen's curiosity.
"Stupid Moyashi the innocence must be drawn to large amounts of Akuma." Allen was about to retaliate when Lavi interrupted.
"But Yuu don't you think it's weird that it's taken the Order so long for them to finally locate the innocence." After that Kanda shut up. The train trip didn't seem to take that long for they arrived at Italy at the perfect moment. It was night time beautiful for tourists and the ideal cloak for Akuma to rummage around. The group of exorcists stopped by their hotel and grouped up in the lobby.
"Ok we'll split up and search the area." Kanda started planning everyone listening intently "Baka-Moyashi and I will search east, Lavi and Miranda go west, finally Lenalee you head south since we came in from the north. Everyone got the plan?" Everyone nodded and Kanda was the first one to rise.
"We'll meet back at midnight, let's go!" The group immediately went their separate ways in seach of the innocence little did they know it was going to find them.
(With Lavi and Miranda)
"Um…Lavi can we take a little break, um…please." Miranda pleaded out of breath from running all over Venice.
"Yeah we could use a break." Lavi told her sliding his back down against the closest wall, Miranda sat next to the red head exorcist giving him a smile of thank you. Lavi closed his eye and let his mind wander off.
"Hey are you guys okay?" A voice asked them making Lavi's eye open and looked up to see who the mysterious voice was. The hooded person crouched in front of Lavi and put his hand on Lavi's head then Miranda's. The person took his hand off of Miranda's head and frowned.
"You both look pretty flustered."
"Uh, sorry I spaced out for a second; we are fine just looking for something that's all um… if you don't mind me asking who are you?" Lavi proceeded to stand up and held his hand out to the stranger, who in return grabbed the hand and pulled himself up.
"Hi, I am Alexander."
