Shadow
Order
Someone suddenly taps on Alli's back. She turns around immediately in surprise and is even more shocked by who stands in front of her.
"What are you doing here?" she asks Kanda.
Coldness.
All she feels is ice beneath her skin. The person who was supposedly dead stands in front of her; healthy as a race horse. His dark blue orbs stare into her ocean ones and they glare at each other for what seems like hours. It's broken when he looks over to Lenalee and Marie.
"You're in my way," he says finally. She narrows her eyes in slight irritation.
"You never answered by question," Alli says grumpily. He growls.
"I'm here to return to the Order," Kanda answers with a huff. Alli stares at him whilst crossing her arms.
"You're lying," she proclaims. He gives her a glare, but she returns the gesture. "Are you going back because of Allen?"
He narrows his eyes a bit. "What's it to you?"
"It has nothing to do with me," Alli says calmly. "I only want to know."
"A Noah like you has nothing but mischief under her sleeve," Kanda snaps icily. "If you excuse me, I'll be taking my leave now."
He walks past her and she stares. "Kanda, you had the chance to be free, why return?"
"I owe someone a debt."

"Xavier," Shadow says out loud. Alli is taken back by her sudden voice. She walks through Paris, searching for Helena since named person had told her that she was here.
"What about him?" Alli asks back to the shadow.
"He's different," Shadow says in deep thought. "He doesn't have any record, nor does he have any significant articles about him; he's a ghost."
"Well, maybe we can find Helena and figure out what exactly is going on," Alli replies calmly as she walks above the rooftops. "I don't understand why you're worried about this now, when we have bigger things to focus on."
"I'm only contemplating about whether or not to have you follow him instead," Shadow says promptly. Alli smirks.
"I'm not sure if that's a good idea," she explains with a laugh. "He's at the Order now, and I don't think they would appreciate it if I burst in there unexpected on a rampage."
"Obviously you won't be there on a rampage, but at least to get the boy and leave," Shadow defends with a huff. Alli stares out onto the street for anyone out of place.
"Well, if it comes down to it, I'll try to find him once more-"
"No, you're going now," Shadow interrupts. "He could be a connection to Helena!"
"I think you need some sleep, why don't I return-"
"Allison! I'm being serious!" Shadow exclaims angrily. Alli sits on the roof with a sigh.
". . . How are we going to get in?" she asks in defeat.
"By getting capturedof course!"
:+:
"Ugh, why am I even-"
"Just shut up, and attack them!" Shadow shout angrily. A group of exorcists roam a narrow pass that connects Paris to another town thirty kilometers west. Alli stands in a corn field by the pass, and stares at the group. She growls.
"Shadow, if I don't survive, I'm going to make sure you aren't revived in the near future," Alli threatens icily. She hears a laugh. The exorcists are familiar to her; she recognizes them after looking closer. It's Chaoji, Miranda, and the kid from dropping off Libya. He whistles with his arms behind his back as he skates along side Miranda. Two finders are there as well, and appear to be close with Chaoji.
Popping out of the field, Alli quickly sends shards of black glass towards them. They're taken by surprise and she throws more glass at their faces. Chaoji activates what appears to be a fist for innocence. He socks her underneath her chin, and she's immediately knocked unconscious.

She groans as she lifts herself up. She tries to grab her head, but her hand is stopped by the sound of a chain rattling. She glances down to find a cuff around her wrist and her body covered in seals. Her arms are chained to the wall as well as her ankles. This is exactly how they treated me last time. . .
"Well, now that you're captured, you need to try and find Xavier," Shadow says happily. Alli groans.
"Easily said then done!" she exclaims quietly, but angrily. "I'm fettered to the wall, and all you want me to do is go after Xavier? Think about that for a moment!"
"Obviously you need to act like you want to escape, rather than relaxing as though this is a vacation!" Shadow exclaims as well. Alli growls once more.
"If you think you're so great, then break through these chains and find him yourself!" she snaps. The door suddenly starts to move and Libya enters. She nods to the guard to give her privacy.
"Allison," she says calmly.
"Libyanna," Alli counters as well. "You look better."
"Thanks to you, I was put on probation for a week," Libya says grumpily as she sits at the small table in the room. She crosses her arms in anger.
"You think they would let you off for free after following me?" Alli asks quizzically.
"No, Xavier told them that you were keeping us captive," Libya explains. "He also said that you didn't want me getting in your way, so you got rid of me when I began to turn into a fallen one."
"He said that?" Alli asks in surprise. Libya nods.
"When he heard you were captured, he seemed to be distraught by it. I think something's up with him," she says as her brows knit together. Alli stares at the ground.
"I told you he was something interesting," Shadow says suddenly. A guard comes in, and Libya turns to him.
"Someone else is here to see her, please exit at once," he says politely. Libya is confused, but leaves anyway. The person comes in and sits where Libya did.
"Obviously you came here for a reason," the person says with irritation in his voice. "Why?"
"Come now, Xavier, you can't be upset that I was accidentally captured, are you?" Alli asks towards him. The sandy-haired man glares towards her in pure annoyance.
"I gave them a false story so that you wouldn't seem suspicious, and Libya wouldn't be tried for heresy," Xavier explains angrily. "Why would you come back instead? I know you threw glass at the exorcists instead of your crystals, why?"
Alli smiles calmly and leans against the wall. "I came because I needed to figure out how you knew where Helena was."
"And I told you she is in France!"
"You did, but it wasn't meant for me to find her, it was for me to find Kanda. You knew that Kanda was dead to the Noah, so you showed me that he was still alive and was coming to the Order," Alli explains calmly. Xavier stares at her in suspicion.
"I didn't know that Kanda was in France," he states as he points towards the golden-haired woman. "Nor did I know he was even alive."
"You're lying," Alli says with a grin. "I also know that you were the one who stole Allen's record from my realm. You gave to Maggie when you had the chance."
"You're accusing me of stealing that book and working with Maggie?" Xavier asks in disbelief.
"No, I'm stating a fact. You seemed worried about Maggie when I shot her with one of my crystals," Alli says. "I'm surprised that you even know what they are since I never explained them to you."
"You're mad," Xavier mutters whilst crossing his arms. Alli laughs at his efforts.
"Come now," she says. "I'm pretty sure you're the mad one here.
"Helena."
