Road giggled at Integra's reply. "I bet she fell out with the Order again," she said. "Maybe they're just not good enough at killing Akuma and she's looking for someone better."

It wasn't a particularly out there supposition. Hellsing were fond of interfering, as if destroying Akuma was their job, rather than the job of the real exorcists. It had been that way for generations; they'd worked alongside the Black Order, originally, but they'd grown apart as their priorities shifted. Hellsing wanted to throw everything at the fight, the Black Order were a bit more reserved.

Of course, when your organisation existed to destroy Akuma, it wasn't actually a good long term strategy for employment to be really good at the job. The Black Order needed Akuma around to shore up their funding stream, even if they didn't like to admit it.

Hellsing needed them around too, to maintain their influence, even though Integra would never admit that.

Road found it all hilarious.
