"Get out or I will kill you. I allowed you to leave once. Unharmed. Do you really think I would do so again?"As Beyond said the words he paced the clean room wondering if anyone else besides Watari knew of this little visit.
L had told Joan to leave Beyond be and now he kind of has some regrets as he watches B's blood red eyes narrow in anger.
Still he didt not move towards the detective or anything so for now it was a good sign.
L's voice was monotone as he said. "Beyond. I came because Kira is killing prisoners left and right."
The 'serial' killer laughed gleefully then deadpanned as he asked honestly. "And I, give a shit why exactly?"
The easy going detective licked at his teeth and waited a few seconds to see if he'd chill out then said in a quiet voice. "Because Backup, you might be next."
Beyond ceased his pacing and just stared at the man sitting with his legs all up on his chair. Then he ran a hand through his dark hair and stared L in the eyes as he spoke up.
"If you had not noticed. I tried to kill myself. Lawli, you call me 'Backup' onemore time and I will castrate you. You know I don't deliver empty threats and that is not my name. "
In his mind he said. Who does he think he is? Coming in here just to find him after all these years and what is he trying to accomplish. Does he honestly think that he can scare him of all people?
"Beyond, Beyond are you listening?" L sees him just staring at his shoes and he can see anger, distress and relief but does not know why as he stares at B with a mixture of interest, irritation and some pity.
The criminal smiled walking over to the chair next to his then he sat down. He looked directly at the detective as he said his next words.
"Lawliet, what a great day to be alive. Don't you think? If I were you, I would enjoy it as much as possible."
B is wondering why are his numbers so low. Thinking no matter, that he could either use this to his advantage and kill him or hope that within the next three hours he changes his fate.
That it is not rare at all, every human has two chances, at the most three.
L's mind raced to find the meaning to his old 'friend's' comment and he settled for asking the most obvious questions. "What do you mean by that? Are you, trying to foreshadow my death?"
Beyond yawned and ran a hand through his face lazily as he answered sarcastically at first then honestly. "No, of course I am."
The 'world's best detective' sighed and his left eye twitched a bit as he thought of what was to come.
Wondering how he is going to die and if B is going to kill him. Not that he would be surprised.
Asking himself if he has put him in worse danger by coming here in return. That he has not caught Kira yet. That bastard Light will not win. He will not beat him, he is justice.
His voice was level, but commanding as he said. "Beyond, you are coming with me. I will get you out of here and you will help me with my cases, is that understood?"
Beyond's response was automatic as he said. "The hell I am dead man. I…" He stopped talking when he noticed the changes.
His numbers are changing they are soaring upwards so high and thinking what the fuck. That he will not be his savior. This man right here ruined his life, Alec's and Chloe's. A good number of others.
L saw Beyond staring at the space above his head and he desperately wanted to see what the young man with crimson irises saw. His voice was inquisitive as he asked. "You what Beyond?"
L had come here with only the intention to warn him.
Now he cannot believe he will be the one getting him out.
Well it wasn't all really his fault. It was the fucking mess of it all; his eyes, his background, the trauma. Thinking it a grave mistake. That Watari should have never introduced him to Alternate or Clever.
His knowledge of the people and death around him was his downfall. Whammy's house just amplified it, the need to explore it further instead of providing shelter because they didn't try to help him.
Then there is his obsession with him and his hatred towards Watari.
"I am no longer obsessed with you Lawliet. My thoughts were misplaced." Beyond knew some of what was going through the detective's mind so he said the word and to an extent honestly meant them.
L was just staring at him, blank expression and all. Still watching him but he couldn't bring himself to care. At the moment at least.
B looked at the cameras quickly then stared back at the numbers and took a deep breath.
"Nevertheless, I am not going. I like it here and I do not want to see the sun again. I can't function properly without them..."
"Beyond your speech was unbecoming of your character, even so it was nice. attention even after all this time.
The criminal squinted as if that would make the situation change or better. It didn't then he looked at his hands while he spoke, his voice sounded resigned while he thought it over setting his conditions.
"If I go with you, I want to go out. On my own and I want money for my work. I will not take on an alias, nor will I go to school. Once this case is over I want to be unsupervised and full immunity for my past crimes."
.
He waited patently for L to respond either physically or vocally. L slightly smirked and he opened a candy wrapper.
"You will not go out on your own while on this case. I will although, pay you for your work. You will take on an alias because my Kira suspect will be working along side us. I require that you go to college with me even though we don't need it, it is for the case."
"You will not have anyone over in the building. Watari will do your clothes and food shopping for you, is that understood B?"
Beyond laughed asking in a mocking voice that made him sound falsely interested. "Are you gay?"
Then he did the 'I am L' impersonation that even managed to scare the real L and recited the words previously spoken, back to him.
L blinked again but he did not move as he said in a calm tone. "No. And say's the one, who 'cannot function properly without Alternate'. Who's obsessed with me, B it is still evident."
The lights in the room flickered but both people ignored it. The young detective was entranced by what he saw.
A thin line of blood escape the 'inmate's' mouth as Beyond's voice lowered and darkened dangerously. "Fuck you. His name was Alec. Not A. Not Alternate. Alec. They were my people asshole."
"I apologize. I did not mean to offend you." The Detective let out a false apology but Beyond let is slide. That is until, L decided he would scold him again. "However, you will refrain from swearing."
He wiped his blood with his hand then licked at it, but grew bored of it quickly and just cleaned himself on his jumpsuit.
L ate the candy slowly as an incentive he said. "I will make sure that you have all the exercise equipment that you require."
