Sayu paced in their room, "I've never been thrown out of anything! I hope you boys are happy!" Near and B shot each other a look.
"But—" B interjected
"Shut it, B!" Sayu paced back and forth yelling audibly through the walls. "I can't believe you two would stoop to that level!"
Near raised a finger, "But—"
Sayu turned around glaring angrily at both of them, her eyes glowing. "And then! Not only do you put us in that situation you can't even apologize!"
B stood up and returned her glowing stare, "I don't know what you sold to get those eyes but I was born with them, you listen here little lady!"
Matt and Mello sat in their room in silence listening to Sayu tearing into B and Near, then flinched when B raised his voice.
"I get that your life was handed to you! I get that, but I understand you worked hard, just as hard as any orphaned loser!" B let out a groan in frustration, then stood eye to eye with her and spoke quietly, "I can see when people are supposed to die… I know their name without their face, and their face without their name. I've always had this curse, it's what drove me insane. Get rid of them if you can. But, don't you ever act like no one knows your plight." B slid the sliding glass door open and sat outside on their dock and lit a cigarette.
Mello looked at Matt, "Do you think he killed them?" Matt rolled his eyes and hit Mello's shoulder.
"I'm gonna smoke." Matt said lifting himself off the bed and sitting outside just before he pulled his game system out of his pocket he eyed B who was staring off into the distance with a cruel glare. Matt hopped the small gap between the decks and landed in front of a switchblade. "Whoa!" Matt held his hands up.
B hung his head and flicked the switchblade back into place and put it back in his pocket. "Sorry… Just a little on edge."
Matt sat back on one of the deck's chairs. "Yeah, we heard."
B closed his eyes and gave a pained expression. "I'm sorry."
Matt waved it off, then leaned forward watching Light walk out of his room and light a cigarette. "Oi! Light!"
Light looked up from his cigarette watching Matt wave him over. Light walked over and leaned on his side of the deck. "What?"
Matt pointed to B, "Light, this is Beyond Birthday, as you know L's older brother, serial killer and most importantly Agent B, Nate and Sayu's guardian and partner." B face-palmed. Matt then pointed at Light, "B, this is Light Yagami, as you know… Or maybe you don't as you were busy getting your face punched in by L… Uh, anyway, this is L's husband, Japan's brightest and most recently adopted Agent R, also as you noticed from the face smashing Nate took, Sayu's older brother." Light arched an eyebrow. Matt sighed and hung his head, "Look guys, if I can get at least you too talking we might be able to have the rest of the team fall into place. Please? For me, Light?"
Light stared at Matt emotionless then outstretched his hand, "B, I've heard of you, good and bad, Watari spoke highly of your abilities."
B took Light's hand into a firm shake, "I've read about you in the paper… Solving crimes before you ever graduated high school, what would you join a thankless job like this one for? We're the group that was never there, that never existed."
Light smirked, "The puzzles are harder to solve. And I wanted to stay with Luis."
B smiled, "I'm glad, he doesn't act it, but he needs people like you. You want to come over? Why not? We've already started a smoking party."
Light chuckled and hopped over. And pulled up a chair, "I'm sorry I lost my shit on Near earlier."
B laughed, "I would have kicked your ass, too… You know, if I wasn't in prison."
All three of them let loud laugh. Mello stuck hid head out the door, "Hey!" Mello ran out and hopped over, "Can I have one?"
Matt shifted, "Nope."
B opened his pack and held it out for Mello. "You can have one of mine." Matt shot him a look. B stared back, "I'm almost 30, what are you going to do to me?" Light laughed at Matt. B looked inside to see both Sayu and Nate watching from inside the room. He nodded his head and pointed to Nate.
Near stepped outside and flinched at Light's laughter. "Light?"
Light leaned up against the railing, "I'll hear you out, for B's sake, L did clock him a good one." Light pointed at B's very bruised left eye.
Which caused him to smirk. "Go ahead, Nate."
Near took a deep breath, "Look, I'm sorry I didn't exactly debrief you on the situation between Sayu and I… Things got… Complicated in Berlin. I saw her drunk at a bar and I remembered the picture I saw of her in your wallet. She missed you guys so much and things got really bad at home. I wish I would have told you, but we were afraid of what you would say… And given your reaction in person, we could only imagine what you would do to me if we told you over any electronic device." Near pointed at his right cheekbone, "Pretty sure it's broke."
B leaned in and pushed on it gently, "It ain't broke, you baby."
Light crossed his arms and lit another cigarette, "What is your purpose for her?"
Nate shifted uncomfortably, "She's a Death Note owner."
Light dropped his pack of cigarettes as his eyes grew wide and Matt's jaw dropped and Mello started cackling. B smirked, "Shinigami eyes. I see, now."
