Journal 2-
There were three others at L's headquarters claiming a similar story to mine. At least the L part. I expected as much. He spoke of them once before. Matt, Mello, and Near. Matt and Mello were about twenty. Near is my age, I think at least. I do not like Mello. He is kind of rude and very competitive. He lets the emotions get the best of him. My consensus of Matt however is he is laid back, funny type. He tends to lighten everything up a bit. Near is quiet. I wonder what he they think of me. I can tell Mello does not like me. He keeps on degrading me. Not that I care. He doesn't affect the way I think of myself. Do I think I'm better than him? I don't know. Not particularly. I think that I it will take all of us cooperating with each other to solve this case. I honestly do not care too much about their feelings toward me. I am fully aware of what I am capable of doing. Although, I do wish they had a bit more confidence in me.
I arrived quietly at the headquarters. They were all in the kitchen, I think, when I arrived. I just when into the investigation wing, and sat at the computer. Not to be cold or what not, I was unaware they had arrived (I only think they were in the kitchen because they all had food with them). It was quite funny actually. As they were about to place their food on the table, I turned around in my conference chair and greeted them. Matt and Mello jumped right out of their boxers. It was rather amusing. But my amusement would not last long. "My apologies. I did not mean to startle you." I said. "Who the hell is this chick? Hey! You! How did you get in here?!" Mello asked rather rudely. "I was given a code by L in case the worst happened. You must be his other successors? He told me about you." I explained. "What do you mean his successors?! And WHO ARE YOU?!" "Please, there is no need to be edgy. They call me Selene. And I mean, those from Wammy Orphanage he picked to succeed him. May inquire as to who you are? The information I acquired from L tells me you are Mello (pointing to the rude, obnoxious, leather clad blonde), you are Near (pointing to the quiet, almost albino boy who I assume is my age), and I must apologize but I am not familiar you. (pointing to the auburn haired guy) My suspicions and surveillance tells me you are… Matt? Am I correct?" I stated. "Why should we tell you?!" Mello chimed. "Cut it out Mello. Yes, you are correct. Sorry but how can we be sure you are not Kira or somehow related to him? I mean, how do you know L? Do you come from a different Wammy's? Technically, I am not one of L's successors, I am just a very close, trusted friend of these two, but we all knew L very well, and, darling, he's never said anything about you." Matt said. "I do not blame you for being weary. No, I do not come from a different Wammy's but-" "Oh fuck it! Listen girly, we don't give a damn. Ya not welcome here. Try to convince us all you want but L has never said a damn thing about you. He obviously didn't care much about you at all. Ha, pathetic how everyone wants to be like us, right Near?" Mello interrupted. "Ha ha, that's funny. L doesn't care about me… Hmmm. It's a wonder then, why I was given his will? Better yet, why am I listed first on his will to be among his successors? Now, I don't know who you think you are. But you do not overpower me. Now, I want to avenge L and capture Kira. You are going to cooperate with me and except that I am going to take part in this investigation whether you like it or not. If you do not except these terms the door is that way!" I said throwing the will onto the table, trying to be civil which was becoming increasingly difficult. "I will help in every way I can. Excuse me." I was walking taking my leave when: "Wait, this doesn't prove anything! You could have written it yourself!" Mello argued stubbornly. "If you have not noticed, there was a hidden button on the computer. Forensics will show that the only one who has touched that button is Watari. I noticed there was no information left in the mainframe, so I figured everything must have been deleted. Codes and all. But mine was accepted. I knew I problem of trust would come along, so I did some field work. With the use of fingerprint tape, I tested many different prints and all rejected access. If you still don't trust me, see for yourself." I retorted. "She can be trusted, Mello. I noticed this also. I took the fingerprint tape I used to pick up Watari's print and pushed it onto the scanner to test if the coding was all changed, and Watari's print was denied. But for all ours it was accepted. Including hers. To further test this theory I took random finger prints off of hand rails, and other public objects. All proved negative, including Matt's. Clearly, it was enhanced so only L's successors could get into this building without hacking. If she tried to hack, the alarm would have gone off. Watari built the security systems. Even the most skilled hackers could not break in entirely unnoticed. And with three geniuses on the premises, it is guaranteed that one of us would have noticed a break in. I don't know what we can expect from Selene, but it is not betrayal. I warned you against losing your head in all the excitement." Near explained, speaking for the first time. "Selene, we are grateful and will accept your assistance. Isn't that right, Mello, Matt?" Near continued. "Sure. You seem genius enough. And pleasantly witty. I always love to see people put Mello in his place. And too much testosterone is never a good thing. A slice of cutie pie such as yourself will do good for us boys. wink" Matt teased. I made a twisted face. "Whatever. I guess I have no choice in the matter. But you're probably just some useless whor-" Matt immediately covered Mello's mouth. "Just ignore him. He's just jealous a girl outsmarted him. You need to get settled? Near, show her to- uh- a room while I try to calm this one down." Matt snickered. I nodded to him and Near got up. "It's really not necessary. I'm sure I can find it on my own." I said trying to be courteous. "You probably can, but it might take you a few days." Near said. I smiled and followed him out."
Well that was the end of the first day. At least I managed to make a good impression. On Near and Matt, that is.
