Misa sat straight up as the nurse drew blood from her arm. "You're a lucky lady. Weren't it for you friend there in the other room, you wouldn't have been here. It's quite the story you got." The blonde smiled and nodded, concern laced on her face remembering his words. 'It's likely, that this is the end of our journey… They're bound to figure out who I am.' "Ha! How exciting! It's rare we get a heli-drop! Now, just to let you know, I'm drawing blood to ensure that you're not pregnant, not that I don't believe you, but can't quite do any x-rays on young mothers."

Radios were heard coming down the hallway. Misa's sapphire eyes closed tightly when the loud walking stopped in the next room over. "Affirmative. It's him. Seems to be unconscious for now. We'll cuff him and keep a guard on him. Once he's fixed up, we'll prepare him for transport." A shuddered breath escaped the blonde's plush lips. 'So… This is how it ends?'

"Ma'am? Can I go see my friend? It… Might be the last time I see him for a very long time." The nurse laid her eyes on her patient and shrugged. Misa smiled brightly and pointed to the room. "I'll be right next door if you need anything else or the other tests are ready." She darted out before the nurse could give a true answer.

"Sir! I need to see your arrest warrant before you can just handcuff an unconscious patient!" A doctor shouted. "You won't be endangering his condition!" Some voices were exchanged quietly. "Well. I don't quite care! He's my patient, my responsibility! Come back with a warrant!"

Misa approached the two police officers and doctor standing in the hall. She could feel her stomach drop when the police eyed her suspiciously. "You too, ma'am! You are not permitted to leave until this matter is cleared up!"

The doctor scowled, "Get out!"

Misa timidly approached the doctor. "Um..?"

The doctor turned and smiled to her. His silver hair and wrinkles around his eyes were evidence of his age. "Don't worry, dear, neither of you are leaving with them. They make me sick, thinking they come in here without any legal back up. Fortunately, both of your respective parties are coming to collect you both."

Pointing to the room where Beyond was being treated, a timid request fell from Misa's lips. "Can I..?"He gave a fatherly smile and nodded while tucking his clipboard behind his back. The blonde smiled and bowed to the doctor before scurrying into Beyond's room.

The doctor sighed and pulled out a cell phone, pressed a couple of buttons before holding it to his ear. "Yes. What's your approximate ETA?" A moment passed as the doctor nodded. "No, he's no trouble, it's just the local police enforcement is trying to move on him. He's your asset, can you send me some sort of legal immunity?" The doctor looked into the room where a Misa had gone into. "It's just… He saved a young girl, not just any girl, that missing model." Another moment passed. "Right. That one. Everyone on the vessel they were found at said he seemed like a decent guy. Leaped into the water without hesitation and pulled her from – No, worse, sharks." Another moment passed as he glanced back to his clipboard. "Yes sir… What about the Americans? I'm sure by now they've been notified." Another moment of silence passed in the hall. "Understood. I will keep any outside contact to a minimum while you prepare the immunity." He ended the call and sighed at the couple. "I hope you get more than a broken ever after…"

Misa fidgeted with her fingers before hearing rousing in the raven. Her sapphire eyes shot up and filled with tears when she saw B removing the tubes from his nose. "Ugh… Why do hospitals do that? They are absolute worst."

"B!" Throwing her arms around the startled man Misa cried in relief. "I thought you were in a coma or something!"

Beyond blinked a couple of times while untangling himself. "You need to stop watching soap operas… That or they approved my character for a pay raise." The raven gave her a cheeky smile as she playfully hit his shoulder. He nervously shifted his sanguine eyes around the stereotypical hospital room. "Do they..?"

The blonde nodded solemnly. "Yeah. Your doctor chased off some local police, I guess that's what they were. He said they needed a warrant."

The doctor sighed and came into the room. "Beyond. We can do this the easy way or the way the authorities are telling me to do it." His presence was met with a fierce crimson gaze. "Please, don't make me resort to the restraint method. I don't want to do that, you don't want to be handcuffed to the bed but…" His voice trailed as he made eye contact with Misa. "Miss, if you don't mind."

Beyond's voice was low and defensive. "There isn't anything she doesn't know."

The doctor pulled a paper off the top of his clipboard. "I bet there is." He handed the paper to Beyond over the blonde's head. "You understand why my hands are tied. You belong to them, legally, I can only hold you until you're healthy. Which… Is now. However, I have a legal obligation."

Crimson eyes widened in fear as he sped through the immunity order. "No. Just send me back to prison, anyone but them!" His voice lost power and became hushed. "Anyone but a false L…"

Misa grabbed the paper and read over it;

To Doctor Micheal Sterling,

This is a legal and binding order for the detainment of one, aliased as, Beyond Birthday. No lower authority, up to and including the U.N, is to remove Beyond Birthday from your protective custody. All forms of detainment have been authorized, by her Majesty, Queen of England, hand and authority. A pick up personnel by the name of Watari, and one other whose alias will not be disclosed in this letter, will be there to collect the asset.

Detective L."

Pools of sapphire blinked rapidly and darted up to the enigmatic man she'd become infatuated with. "So you weren't lying. You really were involved with L… Enough to be considered an asset. Doctor, L is dead! There's no way it's him!"

Beyond sighed and cleared his throat while folding his arms. "L has successors, all who are rightfully able to take the title. I won't make this hard, I'll stay… I've earned this fate." Crimson eyes landed on the distressed woman in the chair next to his bed. "Just leave her out of it. Keep her safe and I won't make any trouble for you."

Doctor Sterling nodded and took the paper back from Misa's seemingly paralyzed fingers. "I promise. You have my word, if for any reason, I go back on that, I give you permission to take my life."

Misa's nurse poked her head into the room, "Alright dear! All the preliminary tests are completed! Let's get you to get your other tests done!"

She gave a matronly grin as Misa lifelessly lifted herself from the chair, placing a kiss on Beyond's cheek. "In case… I never see you again, I love you too." She turned quickly and lightly jogged to the nurse. The doctor turning on his heel and following the two out.

Beyond's eyes drifted towards the window and watched outside before exhaustion overtook him once again. Before too long Misa returned to his side, grasping his hand while sighing heavily while watching the sun disappear over the horizon.

Startling awake, Misa looked around a completely dark room. She sighed in relief to see she was still grasping Beyond's hand. She immediately stiffened at the sound of a throat clearing. A monotoned voice followed, the very one that haunted her memories. "Misa Amane. One of my main suspects in the Kira case, I now find her involved with the notorious Beyond Birthday. If I were an inferior detective, I would assume you're the cause of trouble. But now, I see clearly, you just have a thing for troubled men."

Her sapphire eyes squinted and attempted to track the voice in the darkness her breath and voice trembled. "Wh – Whose there?"

A table side light opposing to Beyond's bed clicked on. Misa felt herself grow cold as her complexion paled, her eyes landed on the very figure who'd tormented her for years. A head of messy onyx tresses covering a perfectly pale complexion, deep stormy colored eyes with sleep bruises beneath them and oddly crouched in a chair with no shoes on. "Surely, I haven't been that easy to forget."

A plush lower lip quivered as she stood at a dizzying speed. "L?! You're alive?!" He smirked, which faded quickly when she darted towards him. "Oh, I'm so thankful!" The voluptuous blonde wrapped her arms around the awkward man. "I thought you were dead! They told me Kira got you!"

Trying to untangle himself from the excited female and failing L sighed, defeatedly. "Yes. Well. They told everyone that. Even B thought me dead." He struggled against her breasts further. "Please release me. You know how I feel about… This…"

Misa backed up slightly and smiled, tucking her arms behind her. Her smile quickly faded. "L… Let me come with you guys. Please, I have something really important to tell B. It's…" She blushed slightly. "Kind of private though… But, he really needs to know."

Glancing his charcoal eyes towards the door. "I'm afraid that's impossible. Your sister in law is currently looking for you. You should probably find her and comfort her." Watari walked into the room as Misa left to find Sayu.

"Transport is ready. It will be easier to do if he's chemically restrained." L noodled in agreement as Doctor Sterling walked in and shut the door.

"He's been chemically restrained since this afternoon."

Misa wandered the desolate halls searching for Sayu before hearing a frantic voice. "Misa! Oh! You're alright!" A shorter brunette ran up to the model, "I was worried sick! Where have you been?! This is what happens when you're left alone for a week?! You turn up missing for two months?! Are you crazy?!"

The blonde pulled Sayu into a tight hug and cried quietly. "I'm so sorry, Sayu, I never meant to worry you so much. I lost my phone, met the most amazing person in the world. Come on! He's sleeping now, but I want you to meet him!"

Sayu eyed her skeptically before sighing and following her sister to a now empty room. Misa slumped down to her knees. "This can't be… He was just here…"

Inspecting the nameplate with golden narrowed eyes, Sayu walked into the room and set her purse on the floor. She pulled out what looked like a compact mirror. She popped it open and ran a loose but thick brush on the black powder, then brushing random parts of the room, revealing finger and full handprints. "I believe you." She turned to see Misa had begun crying. "Hunny, its fine… I don't know who this was… But, obviously, it wasn't meant to be."

Misa covered her eyes and cried harder. "No… You don't understand!"

Sayu knelt down in front of Misa and rubbed her back gently. "I guess, I don't. Care to enlighten me?" Gently pulling the hysterical woman into her arms.

"Sayu! I – He… Sayu… I'm pregnant…"

Golden eyes widened at the severity of the situation. "Oh… Shiz… We gotta find this guy."
