Chapter 5: Arrival
Allen opened his eyes tiredly to the light of the sun from outside the moving train. He turned to the right to see his wife leaning on his shoulder, still asleep. Several days had passed since they had left Liverpool, and they were reaching London this afternoon. He looked opposite his seat to see his children also still asleep.
Allen moved slightly into a more comfortable position and Lenalee stirred at that movement. Lenalee looked up to see Allen awake; she moved closer to his face and kissed him on the cheek. Allen turned back to her, and smiled.
"Morning, Sleeping Beauty." Said Allen cheerfully.
"Morning, Allen-kun," Lenalee said as she giggled.
"We'll be arrived at London this afternoon." Allen told.
"Oh, then I'd better call Ni-san," Lenalee said, kissing him on his lips before going to call her brother. Allen looked out of the window at the moving scenery. Moments later, Lenalee came back. Allen turned around, smiling that warm smile again, "So what did Komui-san say?" "He said that a finder will be waiting of us when we arrive," Lenalee said as she sat next to Allen, then she sighed, "We're going to have to tell them soon."
"I know, I never wanted them to know, let alone being involved," Allen muttered.
"Me neither," Lenalee said absent-mindedly. Silence followed. Then Floria and Rey woke up, "Are we there yet?" Rey asked. "We will be soon," Lenalee replied. Allen took a deep breath before standing up, "Come on, let's a have breakfast," and everyone followed him as he walked out.
Hours later, the family of four alighted from the train. Looking around, Lenalee and Allen saw the familiar white cloak and ran up to that person while pushing through the crowd, with Floria and Rey following. The finder was looking around as if waiting for someone; he stopped when he saw two familiar sights.
"Lenalee-san! Allen-san!" the finder shouted. Allen and Lenalee instantly recognize the finder.
"Toma-san!" both shouted in unison, as they stopped in front of Toma, "It's been so long!" Lenalee cried. "Yes, it has, hasn't it?"
Then, Floria and Rey appeared, Toma looked at them, then Allen introduced, "Toma-san, this is our son and daughter, Rey and Floria. Rey, Floria, this is an old acquaintance of ours, Toma."
"A pleasure to meet you two," Toma said. Floria and Rey both did the same, "Same here."
Toma then turned his attention to Allen and Lenalee, "The carriage is waiting outside, shall we go?" "Yes," Both replied together and headed towards the carriage.
The carriage ride seemed to go on forever to Floria and Rey. Their parents sat on the seat opposite to them, staring out of the window. Rey leaned towards Floria's ear and whispered, "Why do you think we're going to this 'Black Order' place?" "I don't know, but Mom and Dad said they would explain everything when we arrive," was all Floria said. After that, all was silent again.
A while later, a large building came into view, both Rey and Floria stared in awe at the sight. They got off the carriage later and walked into the building with Toma in the lead. Rey and Floria were shocked as the inside of the building than it looked from the outside. Toma continued to lead them around until they came to a pair of big doors.
Toma pushed the door open, revealing a messy floor covered in papers which made Floria and Rey sweat dropped, and Allen and Lenalee walked in, "Ni-san! We're here!" Lenalee shouted, and the dark-haired man wearing a white coat looked up from his paperwork on his desk, "Ah! Lenalee, Allen, you're back. I hope you had a safe trip."
"Yes we had, Komui-san." Allen replied.
"Anyway, you should get some rest; we'll call you in an hour." Komui said, then turning to Rey and Floria, "And how are my nephew and niece?" Komui had visited them occasionally and had come to know Allen's and Lenalee's children.
"We're fine, Uncle Komui!" both replied cheerfully.
"Okay, why don't you get something to eat? Toma, would you escort these two to the cafeteria."
"Yes, sir" Toma said before bringing the two children to the cafeteria, Timcampy flew out with them. Komui turned back to Allen and Lenalee, "Now then, we need to take your measurements for your new uniforms." Allen and Lenalee agreed as some of the Science Department came to them with measuring tapes.
Allen and Lenalee left the office and headed towards the cafeteria. As they got closer, they heard a scream and shouts coming from the cafeteria, "Hey! Get off my sister."
"Stay away from me, you pervert!"
"B-b-b-but I was jus-"
"L-Lavi-san, don't you think you're going too far!"
"But I only tri - Ouch!"
"For goodness sake, Lavi, stop harassing the poor girl!"
Allen and Lenalee looked at each other before starting to dash towards the cafeteria. They stopped at the entrance and sweat dropped at the sight. Floria was backed up against a table with Rey in front of her defensively, getting ready to strike. Further in front of the two was a red-head person with an eye-patch on his right eye, crouching on to floor clutching his head and a blonde woman standing beside him angrily. Marie, Chouji, Miranda, Krory, Sokalo, Tiedoll, several Science Department members and finders were watching the scene. Kanda continued eating his soba without caring as usual. All the Exorcists were wearing their black and red uniforms, while the generals were wearing their black and gold uniforms.
Floria notice her parents outside the cafeteria, and ran towards them, "Mom! Dad!" and she hid behind them. Everyone turned to the trio outside, and there was silence. Then everyone except Rey, Krory, Sokalo and Kanda shouted, "WHAT?" It was then Allen and Lenalee remembered that they had forgotten something, only a handful of the Black Order members, namely Krory, Komui, Jerry, Toma and a few of the Science Department members, knew of their marriage. Everyone demanded them to explain why Floria called Allen and Lenalee her parents, and so they started explaining.
-----------------------------------Fifteen minutes later -----------------------------------------------
"I still can't believe you didn't invite me to your wedding," Lavi sulked.
"We told you, we didn't want to bother you…and plus we didn't know where you were," Allen explained with a sweat drop, "Uh, Lavi, where's Bookman?" Lavi looked up and said sadly, "He…passed on."
Lenalee gasped and Allen bit his lower lip, mumbling, "Sorry…" Lavi noticed and said, "No, its okay, really!"
"Well, this might be a bit late, but congratulations, you two." Klaud congratulated.
"Same here," Tiedoll said, and a series of late congratulations from everyone came one by one.
"By the way, what happened just now?" Lenalee asked.
"Well…" Lavi said as he trailed off. Just then, Timcampy flew in front of the pair and opened its mouth, a video of its memories came out and started to play.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Flashback-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toma was leading Rey and Floria to the cafeteria. They came towards the large doors of the cafeteria, Toma pushed them open and let the two in, "Thanks, Toma-san!" both said in unison while Toma bowed and left.
Both of them stared at the large cafeteria while they strolled in, also seeing how many people there were, "This place is huge!" Rey said. As they looked around, they heard someone yelled, "STRIKE!!" Floria and Rey turned to the direction of the voice, seeing a red-headed guy with an eye-patch running towards them. As he got closer, he suddenly tripped and fell on to Floria, making her fall too. After she hit the ground, she cracked open an eye. Seeing the red-head on her and inches from her face, Floria let out a scream.
"Hey! Get off my sister!" Rey shouted as he pushed Lavi off Floria. Floria back up until her back touched a bench. Rey ran to her and helped her up, she leant against the table and screamed at Lavi, "Stay away from me, you pervert!"
"B-b-b-but I was jus-" Lavi tried to explain as he got up and limped towards the pair but was cut off by Miranda, "L-Lavi-san, don't you think you're going too far!" Rey got in front of Floria defensively; ready to strike, as he saw the red-head still limping towards them.
"But I only tri - Ouch!" Lavi tried to explain again while going towards the two youths when he got hit on the head and went to his knees clutching his head.
"For goodness sake, Lavi, stop harassing the poor girl!" Klaud scolded
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------End of flashback--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So you were trying to harass our daughter." Lenalee and Allen narrowed her eyes and glared at Lavi. "But it was an accident! I tripped and fell on her, I didn't mean to!" Lavi desperately explained, but Allen and Lenalee continued to glare at him.
Just then, Reever came in, "All Exorcists please go to the Supervisor's office now!" All of the Exorcists got up and headed towards the office, with Floria and Rey following their parents. Lavi was silently thanking Reever for saving his life, even if Reever didn't know it.
