The conversation echoed in my head as we rode the taxi. Ace was a loose cannon and her ripples would be catastrophic in any universe but this one she knew so well. In a Ghost in the Shell world, she would have attracted the captain. I shook my head thinking how disastrous the first meeting would be. She wasn't versed well enough to blend in that world but knew enough to have scared the daylights of the others in that world.
I wondered if others watching would actually be seeing her when they saw Mello. I wondered how much rippling we made ourselves. She herself had the same power as Kira in her book. She could actually rewrite the ending with a few simple strokes of the pen. The question was would she or would she not. It all came down to her own mind and the wishes that Mello had left her with.
This brought to mind about what could happen if something happened to him. She could actually take it out on others. Light, Near, Ridner, Geovonie, Matsuda, Sayu and Rodger could all be blamed and taken out with just a few strokes of the pen. I shuddered to imagine how the Wammy House would be destroyed and the kids just left to fend for themselves. That was unless Ace was willing to take over herself which would cause a mess as she was once an orphan with no record. I was not sure if she would forgive Misa either. That just made her another target.
The other hidden truth was she could have been in Misa's place. She was a fan of Light before Mello was put in front of her on screen. He was the one who beat her last ultimate favorite, Deidara of the Naruto Anime. I could only imagine what she could have done while being Light's right hand. In a way I was thankful for the blond who had stolen her heart before coming here. I shuddered at the thought of what Light could have achieved with her if she still wanted him to win or where he was her favorite here.
I would have saved Misa myself. I could only have imagined what a mess that would have made. Even would have difficulty getting the balance of the universe back after that happened. I'm sure that part of the reason was because she reminded me of Ace. The eyes and absolute love were mirrors of one another. The sparkling blue eyes were identical with the same innocence and love reflecting back. I made a mental promise to at least save her from Light if Ace had sacrificed her life.
The taxi ride was silent and dark. The view outside could only be described as dark with lights of different colors. This made the world more dream like. The lights went and started to become bigger as we got close to the airport.
The chilly air felt like a representation of how the ride was without conversation. We were both too deep in our thoughts to talk. Only the sound of the car and our breathing. I was sure that I would be getting a headache from all the circles going on in my head. The silence was choking but we could not speak our fears out loud. I finally broke the silence by asking him where we would be staying at just to break it and my circle of nightmareish thought. Even then the silence was not immediately broken. "We will have a hotel not too far from the building of the SPK" He said making me shocked. We were going to be in the SPK's radar if we were not careful but somehow I could not imagine any place better to have a base to hold Ace and Mello.
