Who: Larxene (Arelen), Xion, Lea
Where: Sunset Summit Apartments- Floor 6 Hallway
When: Oct 7, midday
What: Meeting for the first time!
Warnings: Probably language.

Arelen was dressed in her jeans and a rather... pink shirt. Light pink, and to be honest, it looked nice on her, but it wasn't something she would normally wear out. She was wearing it to work, where the brighter, soft color would help her seem nicer to the patrons at the inn.

It didn't mean she liked what she was wearing.

That being said, the only thing to cover up that outfit to everyone else on her WAY to work, was that coat hanging in her closet. Her Organization coat. With a frustrated noise, and a roll of her eyes, she took it off of the hanger and put it on, feeling oddly comfortable, "That's a stupid thought," she said to herself before grabbing her things.

At the opened door, while standing in the hallway, she called out loudly, "I'm taking off Demyx! Don't be a lazyass today! There's some fresh bread and honey if you want it!"

Without waiting for a response, she closed the door and locked it, pausing, feeling like there were eyes on her. Her hair stood on edge, and her eyes flicked to the direction of where she felt someone waiting.

Xion had been heading out to get them ice cream when she heard someone call Demyx's name. She froze and looked, pulling her hood up as she saw....

No. Not here. No. Demyx was bad enough, he wouldn't go after Lea without a direct order. even with one he's whine and try to get out of it. But Larxene? The Keyblade came out and Xion stood defensively in front of the door to the apartment she shared with Lea. A door that was still open.

Arelen turned, and with a small bolt of lightning in each hand, she summoned her foudre, spinning to face the person she felt staring at her while getting into a defensive stance.

She blinked, but didn't let her guard down... it was a kid- she inhaled quickly as her eyes widened in slight fear, turning to anger, all of this showing on her face... she had a keyblade, and not just ANY keyblade, but that stupid, loser, brat- SORA'S keyblade.

There was a snarl in the little girl's direction.

"Put that weapon away and no one gets hurt."

"I'm not that stupid, Laraxne," she snarled back. And that was not Sora, Roxas, or Riku's voice.

"I'm not Larxene anymore!" She shouted, and readied her weapons.

There was something about this keyblade wielder that seemed strangely familiar, but her past experience with that weapon led to her death.

"And I'm giving you ONE more chance before I'm forced to take care of this! Put. That. Keyblade. AWAY!"

Electricity surrounded her in a sort of aura. She wanted to shout out that if she was Larxene, there wouldn't have even been any talk, but at this point, she was past that, and was more focused on getting that keyblade away from her.

No. Because she knew when Larxene died, and there hadn't been a chance for her to get her heart back... right? Lea would have told her. So clearly Demyx told her about Lea and this was a trick. Xion wasn't going to fall for it. "I wont let you hurt him," she growled, shifting her stance ever so slightly, watching the weapons, waiting.

With the door still open it wasn't hard for Lea to hear the commotion in the hallway. And once he heard it he didn't waste time looking out to see what it was all about. What he saw wasn't what he expected.

"Xion? What's all the-?", he managed before his eyes went wide at the scene. "What the hell?!" Ah Lea, eloquent as ever.

The fact that Larxene- no, not Larxene she'd said, though he didn't know what else to call her- was there in the hallway was secondary for the moment. His immediate concern was diffusing the situation before it turned into a brawl in the hallway. "Xion, do as she says and put the Keyblade away," he demanded. "This isn't the time or the place for this sort of thing."

........... Lea was telling her to, and she trusted Lea, and listened to him. But she knew he was probably saying it to protect her, and maybe that would put him in danger, and she was supposed to protect him here. She had decided that. He risked so much, hurt so much to protect her, that it was her turn to take care of him....

But...

But he told her to stop....

And if she called back the Keyblade, she wasn't certain it would come to her again. But....

But she trusted him. And there were other ways to protect him. She moved slowly, carefully, standing directly in front of him so that any attacks aimed at him would hit her first. Except for that irritating thing where everyone in every world was taller than she was. Still... it was something. Slowly the Keyblade vanished, but her defensive stance only shifted, rather than relaxing. She would defend him, even if it cost her own existence.

She stayed quiet during the exchange, still on edge, still very much in her fighting stance until the keyblade disappeared. The lightning that surrounded her faded, and with a small electric bolt, her weapons were put away. Arelen stood straight, her eyes narrowed and glaring between the two.

"Axel. Explain just who the hell SHE is," she pointed rudely, "and why I was being attacked! You obviously know better than to have some little brat threaten me, so 'what the hell' is right!"

Well, she supposed she didn't need to go into work today.

He was somewhat relieved when both of them put their weapons away. Crisis averted, for now at least. And while he normally would have corrected Not-Larxene on his name, the fact that he didn't know hers made that sound hypocritical. Besides, there were more important things to worry about.

"Her name is Xion, and she's my friend," he said. "She's another Keyblade wielder that was in the Organization and who used to hang out with Roxas and me, but thanks to Naminé's magic, none of us can really remember her."

"As for why she's going around picking fights- complete with weapons- in the middle of the hallway, that's what I'd like to know," he said turning his gaze to Xion, obviously expecting an answer. His expression was harder than it usually was when addressing his friend, but he did want to hear an explanation before he jumped to conclusions.

She shrunk in the slightest bit as she looked up at him, throat and chin visible under the hood, but little else.

"I won't let anyone from the Organization" or anyone else "come here to hurt you," she said, simply. He walked away, you don't get to do that. He stood against Xemnas. Anyone other than Roxas could potentially be here to kill him or drag him back. She barely trusted that Demyx was too lazy after their talk. No one else.

She looked between the both of them, then sighed loudly, annoyed at the whole situation.

"So you attack me without asking who I was first?! Look you little brat, why don't you just run off and get some ice cream, and not try and threaten people who are just trying to get to work." Arelen looked at her phone, "Which I'm probably not going to after all."

Crisis averted. She really should that him for interrupting, but instead her eyes rolled, relaxed enough at least. She finally looked up at Axel's face... or who she THOUGHT was him. It looked different. Her head tilted and her eyes scrutinizing.

"You're not Axel anymore, are you?"

"Without asking who you are? I was part of the Organization too, I know who you are." Even if that's mostly from what Roxas told her... but that was beside the point. "I am not a brat, and I am not broken." And given her work probably was an execution order she'd keep getting in her way for as long as it would take for Lea to end her.

Lea frowned at Xion's answer, but looked back up at Not-Larxene when she addressed him, nodding in response to her question. "Yeah," he said. "I'm back to being Lea now. I'm guessing something similar happened to you, since you said you're not Larxene anymore?"

Xion speaking up again distracted him though, and he gave an irritated sigh. "Xion... did she actually say or do anything to indicate she was here to hurt me?", he asked. He hadn't heard or seen the whole confrontation, after all, and he could have missed something relevant.

"...."

In case anyone wanted a reminder of how she was when she first arrived at the Castle....

Lea's eyes narrowed slightly. "Yes or no, Xion?" he said, his tone firmer now, clearly suspecting that it was the latter and not sounding pleased about it at all.

"Yeah. My name is Arelen. So far the only one who calls me Larxene is Demyx."

She eyed Xion. "Seriously kid, if I wanted to hurt him, I would have tracked him down and done it by now."

"You showed up outside our door, how is that not tracking him down?" she snapped, then she looked to him again.

"Roxas said she went to the other Castle with you, that time he thought you were dead. If you came back and she didn't, that means she had to have attacked you or threatened us or something." Because if she was a friend, Axel would have saved her. Because that what Axel/Lea does.

So much big brother hero worship, so much confidence in him and his morals. All based on when he was in the Organization. Can you tell she's part of Sora?

"I LIVE HERE." She held up her keys and jingled them, "If I had known he lived in the same apartment complex, let alone the same FLOOR, I would have moved somewhere else!" She rolled her eyes and let out a frustrated sigh.

And that would be a 'no'. Lea facepalms hard, the knowledge that Larxene- no, Arelen- lived not just in their building but on the same floor set aside for the moment. "That's not... Xion, you can't just go whipping out your Keyblade to attack someone based on an assumption!", he said. He wasn't shouting- yet, at least-, but his own frustration and anger was very apparent. "There are laws against that. Do you have any idea how much trouble you'd have been in if you'd actually attacked Arelen?" Probably not, but his tone indicated that it'd be a lot.

And the matter of her assumptions about him was another point entirely...

"....Laws?" Why would there be.... Laws were rules, right? Why would there be rules against defending someone? If they were still in the Organization, yeah, Saiix and Xemnas would Dusk them for killing one of the others in the Organization - how little she knew - but they cut ties.... So...who was there to tell her no?

Besides Lea, that is....

He made this all look so easy. But she hung her head in defeat.... because... Lea was mad at her. And she still wasn't fully sure why....

She raised an eyebrow at the girl, "She's kidding right?"

Arelen almost felt bad for her. Almost. She still wasn't over what happened a few moments ago, and likely would hold a grudge for a while.

"'Fraid not," he said to Arelen. "She's even worse off, knowledge wise, than Roxas was."

Directing his attention back to Xion, he replied, "Yes, laws. You know, those things I'm paid to help enforce? Those things you could go to jail for breaking? Yeah, those things. Not to mention that a fight in the hallway would have cause a ton of damage that we'd be responsible for paying for because you had to go and pick a fight for no good reason. The landlord might have even kicked us out of the apartment."

"We're not in the Organization any more, so stop acting like it," he said. "Everybody isn't trying to back stab everybody else here, and not everybody who isn't a friend is an enemy. So calm the hell down and stop acting like everybody and their brother might try to kill one of us."

Things he... She had made Lea's job harder on him? She was trying so hard to make things easier on him. And... she was just making things worse. Like she had made things worse for Roxas by staying too long. She closed her eyes under her hood, and her shoulders slumped. She just wanted to help him.

Oddly, it wasn't being yelled at that was upsetting her. Or perhaps not oddly. It was the thought that she was making Lea's life harder.

Stop grinning Arelen, this isn't funny.

Maybe it was.

In any other scenario, she would have felt sorry for Xion, maybe even want to help her, but considering she wasn't exactly happy with the girl, she almost laughed at the reprimand and the reaction.

There was something that caught her attention however. Crossing her arms, she leaned against the wall, frowning.

"I've been trying to tell Demyx that without the superi- Xemnas, he doesn't need to act like he's under those rules anymore. Asshole brainwashed all of us."

They were coming from different times... Then anyone could still be under his thumb. Why couldn't anyone see that she HAD to stay vigilant?
