HI! (I'm sorry I'm tired and I can't seem to type or think so if you see any mistakes please point them out so I can fix them, thanks!)
Disclaimer: How many times do I have to tell you! I don't own anything but the plot!
After some coaxing, they got Allen out of the room. They had told Allen of their mission and how they were supposed to be ready by tomorrow morning. Allen, the moment they had finished explaining, opened the door back to the room.
Lenallee, desperate took hold of his hand. "Why don't we go and eat some of Jerry's cooking? I'm sure he has all sorts of tasty treats for you today." Lenallee continued on, hanging on to strings, "we haven't seen each other in awhile and we haven't talked in awhile, why we don't catch up…."
They could see that Allen wasn't listening to them anymore; he only heard the sound of the music. Lenallee threw her arms around Allen, sobbing. Allen jerked out of the trance at the sudden extra weight, and looked down to see Lenallee.
What's going on again?
"Lenallee, are you okay? What's wrong? Don't cry…."
Lavi noted that Allen's eyes were bright again, shining with worry for Lenallee. It wouldn't last for long, Lavi and Kanda both knew that but Lenallee hung on to the hope that Allen was getting better every single time he took notice of them.
Kanda gave a 'Che' and left, he couldn't handle this, and everybody knew that they were Best friends/Rivalries, if there was one person who was affected by this more than anyone, it was Kanda.
You wouldn't see him at the training room in the mornings anymore, nor meditating in their meeting room, or reading up on books on new sword techniques.
It was rare for him to do so anymore.
It was a disaster. The Black Order now was filled with people who had problems instead of warriors.
It was a 'metal institute,' Lavi had read up on them, they were starting to pop up everywhere now. Mental patients or people that were mentally ill now were put in there to 'take care of' them.
Lavi didn't believe a word of it but that was what it seemed like, he sighed. He would go with Lenallee to the mess hall, and watch Allen eat if not at all, listen to Lenallee saying how he ate much more than last time, which was a couple weeks ago and then expect Allen to disappear back into the room.
They walked down the hall, repeating the cycle again; Kanda knew this would happen, that was why he had left earlier on.
Lavi looked at Allen, Lenallee was holding onto Allen's arm like she was holding on for dear life and Allen was reassuring her that he would not go back to the musician's room.
Liar.
They all knew that in the end he would always wander back, like a lost soul searching for something it will never find.
In the morning they all met in Komui's office, even Allen was there; which surprised them all.
They were not chattering about what the mission was or bickering or even glaring at each other. It was silent. This disturbed Komui the most, his poor little sister looked all depressed and like she was crying all night.
Kanda had bags under his eyes that suggested he hadn't slept in weeks, Lavi's hands looked worn and were littered with paper cuts; he was searching for an answer again.
Allen…he was the worst; Komui couldn't bear to look at him for more than a couple minutes.
Sometimes he looked like a walking skeleton, his cheeks were sunken, and his hands were bony, white hair that used to shine- was lying limp and almost grey on his head.
His eyes….dead.
That was all anybody ever saw, sometimes something would flicker and they could see the faint light that used to be in his eyes, but it would disappear as quickly as it came; everybody was left wondering if it was still there at all.
Komui didn't have to clear his throat to get their attention, he already had it.
"Our scientists have found a time-traveling device that lets us go into the future."
Nothing, no protests, and not even a demand of an explanation.
Komui continued on, "we need records of the future, if by the end of this era we have not defeated the Earl, then by being better prepared we can at least hope the future generation will find this useful and defeat him."
Komui reached into his pocket, taking out what looked like a little pocket watch, Lavi finally interested leaned forward. "That looks like a pocket watch made from England and only a couple years ago too."
"You're right Lavi, this is what will take you to the future, though the higher ups have no knowledge of it, if they had this would either be locked up somewhere nice and tight or used to tell their futures."
He handed the watch to Lavi, who looked surprised, and then understanding dawned on him. Allen was broken, Lenallee was depressed, Kanda was unpredictable, and he was the only one that was pieced together enough to handle this sort of thing.
Lavi nodded, closing his hand over the watch.
"Everybody ready?"
No answer.
Komui resisted the urge to sigh, "You turn the handles to move in time. Don't go too far or it won't be worth it. To get back all you have to do is to get Allen to make a gate there or turn the handles back."
An explosion sounded and shouts came from behind the door, "Komui!"
It was Russell, "Hurry, you have to do it now! Headquarters is under attack!"
That caused a reaction in all of the teens but instead; Komui took some hand-cuffs out, quickly snapping them on the teen's wrists and turning the watch.
Nobody had time to react; all Komui last saw was the shocked expressions of everyone before they disappeared. There was no time to waste, if they weren't healed, the order would fall.
The school of Hogwarts was empty, except for the headmaster's office.
As Dumbledore worked on important documents that needed signed, plans that needed to be finished and opened a letter from the minister of magic, the forbidden forest stirred as four teens landed in a heap right in the middle of it.
They did not belong; the creatures of the forest knew this, so they stayed away. Even as a pair of bright blue-grey eyes filled with life once again blinked open.
Well okay here is the next chapter not very eventful but I'm getting there. I hope you guys liked it.
