Chapter eleven:
Soichiro and the team got Light to Misa and they left the two alone while they themselves waited in a conference room.
Watari is waiting by the door to where Light and Misa are. He's waiting to talk to Light.
Soichiro heads over to the front desk. "Are they back yet?" He asks hoping the three are back while he and the others got Light to Misa.
The person at the front desk shakes his head. "They are coming here as we speak."
The doors to the main entrance open and the three return with an unconscious L.
Soichiro is glad Watari can't see them from where the room is. "Good work." He congratulates the three. "Put him in the cell and I'll talk to him when he wakes." He instructs them.
They nod and do just that. They go back to Soichiro when done.
"He should be waking soon." Halle informs him giving him the key to the cell.
Soichiro takes the key. "Thank you for your help."
The three nod then head off to complete their other work.
Soichiro goes to the cell L is in and waits till he wakes up. He hears the chains moving so he unlocks the door opening it.
L looks to him eyes have a look of mixture of slight fear and slight panic.
Soichiro looks to L a little sternly.
"Please let me go." L begs him pleadingly.
Soichiro shakes his head. "I can't do that L." He looks into L's eyes. "You're lucky we got Light back here in time but just barely. You hit him with your powers. He could have frozen to death."
"Didn't you get him to get healed?! Didn't Watari take you to get him healed!?" L is panicking more as he knows without help Light will freeze.
"Yes but they couldn't help him. Only Misa could." Soichiro explains.
L feels a little relieved they got Light ti Misa on time then. "I didn't mean ti hurt him. I don't want ti hurt anyone. I never did." He says a little softly.
Soichiro nods softly. "I understand that but you have the ability to freeze things and you have the power to hurt people with said powers. We don't know how much control you have over your powers so it's safer to keep you here."
L looks down to the ground by the wall with the window turning his head away from Soichiro. "There is beauty and there is destruction within the power you hold." He mummers to himself.
"One more thing before I leave to help decide what we are going to do with you exactly." Soichiro continues but L doesn't even look up. "You need to melt the snow and ice on Tokyo."
L looks to Soichiro looking a little sad. "I'm sorry. I can't. I don't know how." He looks to the clamps on his hands after speaking.
Soichiro sighs. "I was afraid you'd say something like that. You need to figure out how and I'll come back when we decide what to do with you." He then leaves the cell locking it closed behind him.
L stares at the clamps and they start to show frost as well as ice starting to form on them. He notices out of the corner of his eye that ice and frost is also spreading from under him to the walls, mainly the one with the door. 'Should keep them out.' He thinks. 'They'll be safer from me.' He pulls at the restraints trying to reach the wall with the window just to hopefully get the clamps off. 'The ice won't stop them for long!' He thinks as frost and ice continue to move to the other walls making L start ti see his breath from the chilly air. 'The restraints should be frozen enough to break soon.' He looks behind him to the wall seeing frost mostly covering it since the ice doesn't spread as fast thus the ice is only on the floor but close to the door. 'That wall should break soon too.' He gives another hard tug on the restraints after looking to the frost covered restraints for a second before he closes his eyes giving a hard tug.
The restraints and about half way down the chains are frozen close to being so cold it'll break.
L gives one last hard tug and the metal of the clamps finally breaks along with some of the chains. He stumbles back hitting the almost ready to break wall. 'Lucky for me I have my powers or I could have lost my hands there.' He turns around to the wall putting his hands on the cold surface. 'So close to be ready to break.'
Meanwhile with Misa and Light…
Misa kisses Light and Light weakly pushes her away.
Light's hair is all white now and he is really weak. "Misa." He croaks out. "I don't love you." He is shivering terribly from the cold inside himself.
Misa looks rather hurt. "But Light…"
"I only pretended to love you." Light tells her.
"Humph! Light you are so mean!" Misa whines hurt deeply then she turns racing out of the room calling "Meanie!" Over her shoulder.
Watari goes inside going over to Light. "What happened?" He asks. "You're still freezing." He adds when he puts a hand on Light's cheek to make sure he is healed but finds he's not.
"I don't love Misa." Light croaks out.
"Then who do you love?" Watari asks not wanting to watch a life slip away unable to do anything.
"I actually love L." Light admits.
