Thank you so much for reading, and reviewing, it means the world for me. x3
Days passed since Mia came back to the HQ, she hadn't left the place for nothing and was beginning to think that she was in quarantine and under observation, it bothered her. So Mia's routine was basically: Bedroom, cafeteria, cafeteria, and bedroom. Sometimes she would meet that Allen boy and would talk about lots of things, like: food.
Being trapped in that place was depressive and soon Mia started appearing thinner, with dark circles around her eyes. On a Saturday, Mia was sitting in her bed, reading a book when she heard a knock on the door. So she got up and walker to the door, opening it next. "Yes?"
Allen Walker was in front of the door, looking a little apprehensive and anxious. "Komui wants to see you, I think he have a mission for us." – Us? It was the first thing that crossed Mia's mind, so Komui was sending someone to spy on her. Fine, at least she wasn't going to stay inside the HQ.
Without saying a word, they walked toward the supervisor's office, who was waiting while drinking a cup of coffee. "Well, Mia, I think you spent enough time in the HQ, for me you'd be out there a long time ago, but the superiors wouldn't listen to me. Well, you'll be going with Allen to Italy, the finder will meet both of you there."
It was the old talk: Some town was infested with Akumas, probably because of an Innocence. Bla bla bla. Nothing unusual. It was clear they didn't trusted her, and for many reasons. The train left the station at 4 pm, so they had a little more than two hours to pack and leave. At 3pm they left the HQ and soon arrived in the station. For Allen, seemed the first time he was on time to catch the train, it amazed Mia, making her laugh when he said. "Wow, getting in the train without damaging it."
Allen have a really calm aura, and wasn't a talker, but sometimes he would talk about a man called Mana that adopted him and accept him because of his arm. Mia knew that feeling, acceptance, it was rare nowadays.
After hours of sleep, of being awake, they arrived in Italy, and still had to walk to the town in the North area. At first, it was calm and quiet, not many people were out of their houses, maybe for fear. They could see two persons standing in front of the church, two "persons", as soon as they got near, Allen's eye changed and Mia's arm started to burn. They knew they were Akumas and probably there are more around there.
Before they were noticed, they both hided in a forest near town to come up with a plan. "Well, it's more than obvious that the Innocence is in that church and that the Akumas found out about it." – Mia said without looking at Allen, she was wondering where the finder was, and if he was alive. "Something is stopping them, or they would already taken the Innocence and gone by now." Allen completed her sentence.
After pondering, they decided to let Allen go first; he would be the bait, attract both Akumas and kill them so Mia could get into the church where probably would be more Akumas. So Allen walked making such a fuss, of course the Akumas went like crazy to kill him. They weren't strong so Allen killed them easily, but the time was enough to put Mia inside the church. The place was quiet and calm, not a soul inside the place, and she could tell it, her arm wasn't burning at all.
In the altar in the front part of the church was a green light: The Innocence! Mia approached the Innocence as Allen walked into the church. Without trouble she took the Innocence. Easy and done, she though. No at all. As soon as the Innocence was out, the sailing fell, making her jump to the side. "What the f…?" Lots of level two Akumas went flying right in their direction. A trap! Of course, A TRAP! An Akuma started to talk, his voice sadistic and metallic. "Thank you for getting the Innocence for me. We couldn't get inside this damn church, of course an exorcist could do us this favor."
Allen looked at Mia's direction, her Innocence was already activated. A beautiful blood shaded knife in her right arm. So she was the parasite type. Allen was amazed, he never heard her complain about it once, actually she never said anything about herself and Allen wasn't the type to ask.
The battle started, the gunshot and the sound of metal shocking made the habitants to hide even more in their homes, afraid of being hurt and ending up getting killed. Although the Akumas were level two, they weren't that strong and soon died.
Mia and Allen were covered in blood, what was completely normal since the number of Akumas. "You're not bad." Allen said, making Mia smile gently while cleaning her arm before deactivate the Innocence.
Before going back, they still had to find the finder, or at least figure out what happened to him. So they walked around, looking, and found the finder's vest in the ground, with his backpack, so Mia took it from the ground, at least his family would have something to say goodbye to.
It was time to go "home". When they arrived in the HQ, the first stop was in Komui's office, Allen was walking beside Mia, looking at the girl, he never noticed how short she was, she was shorter than him.
She opened the office's door without saying a word or knocking, and walked over the desk, throwing the finder's backpack and the Innocence. "Satisfied? Really, I worked better by myself, the finder wouldn't have died if you guys were quicker. Congratulation on your mission: Wasting people's life for this stupid game." – Allen and Komui were speechless, she sure had personality, and what a personality.
She stormed out of the room, knocking on someone in the way. "Sorry." – Mia said without even stopping and went back to her room.
