Bryan Kuvnetsov sat in his room, in a house they'd been provided by the BBA, on a chair with one leg pulled up to his chest and the other swinging absently. He was staring at Falborg, when someone knocked on the door. He glanced up. "What?"
"Phone." Tala stated, opening the door and holding the cell phone Mr. Dickinson had given them out.
"...tell them I dropped off the face of the earth." He muttered.
Tala rolled his eyes and tossed the phone at Bryan, turning and leaving the room. Bryan caught it on impulse, and sighed, holding it up to his ear. "Hello?"
"Bry! It's Zasha! Get down stairs right now!"
Bryan blinked. "...Zasha? But she's..."
"Dead? Ha, barely. Just mutated. Anyway, I'm in the lobby but I don't know where your room is, and I'd like to get up there before these people start pulling out pitchforks.
"...okay..." Bryan said uncertainly, hanging up and standing. As he walked out of his room, he wiped a single tear that had trickled down his cheek.

"BRYAN!" Xaria cried out happily, tackling-hugging the taller boy as he walked into the apartment building lobby. All the people that had been watching her wearily pretty much panicked; either hiding or running. Bryan winced and pulled her off him. She looked at him, smiled, standing on her toes and kissing him on the cheek.
Tala watched all this from the stairs, and smirked. "That's so cute, Bryan. Shi missed you."
Xaria giggled while Bryan glared at the redhead, before Xaria walked over to Tala and hugged him, too, kissing him on both cheeks. Tala turned bright red, before pushing her away. Bryan snickered. Xaria took both of them by the arms and started dragging them upstairs. Tala told her the room number; 666 (the only room, consequently a huge sweet, that the owner would let the 'Russian Devils' stay in, hoping the cursed room number would...well, curse them), which was at the very end of the hall. She immediately dragged them in. Hey, the door was open. The D-Boys needn't worry about thieves; everyone's too scared to go within five feet of the door.

"How many kids did he experiment on!" Tala exclaimed in horror, eyes wide. When he'd been turned into Cyber-Tala, he'd gone through endless tests and pain. He hadn't known there were others...he'd been in a separate lab from them. But to know this many kids had gone through that, only to end up dying or living in pain...well, his heart was thawing.
"At least two dozen." Xaria replied, sighing. Her wings were slowly moving up and down, as if to start flying, only in slow motion.
Tala and Bryan both winced, looking down. They were sitting in the living room, Bryan and Xaria on a leather loveseat and Tala across from then in an armchair. Another couch was against the far wall. Xaria had just explained what had been going on in the 'abbey basement', as it had been called.
"Only three survived the experiments. Me, you, and another girl. I think she was a year older than me. She probably died when the abbey crumbled though." She shrugged, and snatched the remote from the coffee table separating the loveseat from Tala's armchair. She turned on the TV. "Let us see if I'm on the news." She smirked, flipping through a couple channels before finally settling on one with footage from the hospital.
"...so the girl is approximately five foot four, with lilac hair and green eyes. She was last seen wearing a plain white dress and barefoot. Tests show that the wings on her back are indeed real, containing bat, bird and human DNA. The strange thing is, she seemed to have made a visit the hospital room of Rei Kon of the bladebreakers before leaving the hos—"
"Damn tests..." She muttered, before perking up at the next part. "So that's who that was. His bitbeast looked impressive. Wonder what happened to him." She shrugged, not noticing Tala and Bryan exchange looks. "Guess I'll never know."
"I—"
"The demon went in here, officer." A voice came from the door leading to the hall, and all three ex-abbey-students' heads snapped in the direction, listening.
"Are you sure? Isn't this—"
"Yes, this is the room the demolition boys are currently staying."
"I was told that the demon was related to one of the boys."
"Really? Well, here we are."
A knock came from the door, and Xaria immediately bolted into the closest room with an open door, which happened to be Spencer's room. She quietly shut the door. Tala put his feet up on the coffee table, while Bryan picked up the dropped remote and changed the channel to a beyblade match before standing up and walking to the door. He opened it as far as the chain would let. "Yes?"
"Hello, Mr. Kuvnetsov. I'm officer—"
"Yeah, yeah, I can see that. What the hell do you want?"
"The police want the demon you are keeping in there, it injured one of our best officers."
"Oh?" Bryan raised an eyebrow. "What demon? Aren't demons mythical creatures?"
"Mr. Kuvnetsov...the demon was seen entering your apartment. Apparently she's your sister."
"Mr. Officer...the demon is not my sister. I do not know what you're talking about. I don't have a sister. My only sister died over two years ago in a chemical explosion."
Tala raised his eyebrows as he listened to the conversation while watching the TV. He knew what Bryan was saying was true, Xaria had been caught in a chemical explosion around thirty months ago and had been clinging to life; the reason they'd started experimenting on her in the first place.
"But...that's impossible!" The officer stammered, before he suddenly glared at Bryan. "what the hell do you take me for? An idiot?"
"Yes."
"...I'll ignore that. Now, let me in right now. I want that demon."
"Get a search warrant. Then maybe we'll let you in."
"You little—"
Bryan smirked, shutting the door right in the man's face.

Chibi: Don' own beyblade...only Xaria, and the second girl mentioned during the conversation about the abbey basement activities. Yes, she does mean something. No, I won't tell you what she's for. She'll appear in the story eventually.
