Beyond stepped out onto the hotel balcony and stretched smelling the air, "A year, already?"
Caspian laid in bed and watched Beyond with a smile. "B?"
Beyond turned around and smiled, "Yeah?"
He watched Caspian stretch and open his arms, "Hug?" Beyond laughed slightly and jumped back into bed and hugged Caspian tightly running his fingers over his healed scar. Caspian cleared his throat, "I know being with me hasn't been easy… I've been difficult for you. But, when this is all over… Can we…"
Beyond blinked a couple times listening to his voice trail off, "Can we what?"
Caspian looked at him earnestly, "Can we be together?"
Beyond laughed, "We are together!"
Caspian but his bottom lip, surprising Beyond with the display of emotion, "I mean… Like… A real couple?" Beyond tilted his head and gave a confused stare. "Forever." Beyond couldn't help but release a small smile. Caspian gently ran his finger along Beyond's cheek bone to his jaw. "I guess… Ah, jeez, all this fuss… I love you."
Beyond didn't say anything for a while. "I love you. I've always loved you."
Caspian sighed exasperatedly, "Ack! How do normal people do this?" Springing out of bed, "Well, we leave for the orphanage today… Today is the day we witness what has happened while we were offline." Caspian got dressed, "If I live, I promise… I will never leave your side… Ever."
Beyond could feel his cheeks burning, what Caspian had said was true, he wasn't an easy person to be around, ornery, emotionless, and frustrated at what he couldn't do. For the last year he spent twice as much time convincing Caspian that he needed to rest as his counterpart spent resting. Defiant and strong, that's the only way Beyond ever answered when asked how Caspian was doing.
Beyond got back out of bed lost in thought, "What is it he was trying to say? Does he mean… No, he couldn't. We haven't even been together like that, nonetheless for the rest of our lives." He stepped out of the hotel room and met with the others in the lobby of the hotel.
"The orphanage was closed down 6 months ago… This can only mean one thing." Light said grimly.
"The Syndicate." Near growled.
Caspian handed Beyond a cup of coffee and paid the woman at the front desk. L sat haunched in a chair, "I hope, Watari…"
Caspian placed his hand on L and Sayu's shoulders, "Let's go."
The all gathered their things and waited at the bus stop. Sayu smiled and watched out the window as the boarded the bus, "Goodbye, London, so beautiful." Everyone took their places next to their partners. Mello sleepily rested his head on Matt's shoulder and Beyond placed his hand on Caspian's that rested in between them. L and Light quietly talked among themselves. And Sayu and Near both sat quietly watching out the window.
The bus pulled up to a small town, Sayu looked around, "Is it deserted?"
Beyond sighed, "No… It's always like this." Caspian brushed past both of them and started walking in the direction of the woods.
Everyone followed behind him. Matt silently pulled out a hand drawn map. And began telling Caspian where to go with a secret code of clicks that only the Whammy agents seemed to know.
The reached a small cabin in the woods on the property where a small fire burned, "So, he didn't die." Caspian said with a smirk.
Near ran into the cottage with lightning speed. "Watari?!" Matt and Mello were shortly behind him. Both Beyond and Caspian looked at each other uneasily as L and Light walked up to the cottage. Sayu stood back with Beyond and Caspian taking deep breaths, "I've only met Watari once or twice."
Caspian sighed and walked towards the cottage with Beyond and Sayu behind him, he rounded the corner to see Watari sitting in a chair holding the others tightly in a hug, "I was so worried, I got your message a year ago, but not long after they came. Syndicate. I left through the back tunnels and took the children I had…" His voice was weak but trailed off at the sight of Caspian. "My boy." Watari stood up and hobbled over to Caspian nearly collapsing in his arms.
"I'm home. Home to stay." Caspian said softly as Watari's arms wrapped around him as tight as he could. "I will make them pay."
Watari closed his eyes, "I have Intel for you. But it won't be easy."
Caspian could feel Beyond take his hand, "Very well."
"Your sister is alive and leads the Syndicate. With your mother, they give every order. Including the order to kill you and attack the Agency." Watari's voice trembled with fear of the reaction.
Caspian narrowed his eyes, "I see. She will regret the day she didn't die." Caspian gently set Watari into his chair and started to get his things ready.
Watari watched him worriedly, "What will you do?"
Caspian stopped for a moment, "Make her regret the day she hurt my true family." Beyond smiled and glanced up at Watari who also had the same proud smile. "They will regret teaching me how to kill, and then trying to kill me. They will remorse they day they taught me how to survive and then coasted me aside." Caspian's eyes seemed to glow with a fierce and intense flame.
