Prompt: you're a resident of wammys house that has since grown up and left. But you're still in connection with them. The current and past kids of wammys don't know your face or name, as you stayed locked away in your room and were left untouched apart from getting meals and lessons from your mentor while you were there. At wammys you're known as gossip because you know everything about everyone, one text to you and you can provide any kid at wammys with the information and gossip of another kid in repayment, you need a piece of gossip in return. Your skill is useful and L recruits you.

"Gossip?"

"You remember her, the girl that came to wammys around the same time I did that no one ever saw. She was able to tell you anything about anyone in the orphanage" L said.

"Oh her! Yes I recall her. I only ever saw her face once when she arrived for the first time. She will have definitely grown up now. I don't know what she looks like nowadays but I'm sure the number is still the same" Watari replied.

L turned to his phone, punching in the number he remembered from all those years ago. He wasn't one for knowing all the gossip as he too stayed alone a lot. But on occasion he would ask you for some details for a case linked to wammys. It'd been years since he last talked to you.

So, he shot you a message.

L: gossip, it's been a while.

Almost immediately he got a reply.

You: indeed it has. Mr world's greatest detective.

L: I require your help

You: ooo, still wanting the tea even after leaving wammys Lawliet?

He had a semi heart attack seeing his real name on the screen. He should't be surprised you know it. You know everything. Even if all records of his real name were erased, it's completely possible you heard his real name when he first came to the orphanage.

L: actually, this is about kira

You: kira? I knew you were working on that but what do you want me for? I know everything about wammys but not kira.

L: I believe you can though. Your gossip trading system works so well at wammys, I think of you targeted both Kira's, you could get valuable information out of them with a similar system.

Interesting, so L's thinking that if you made a gossip trading system like you had at wammys for the Kira's, you could trick them into revealing something. It may work, it sounded crazy but it may work.

You: interesting. Sounds fun. But you know how I work. I need some piping hot tea in return.

L hadn't been at wammys for a while, but he did keep up to date with his successors. And Matt? He loved to ramble on about crazy stories of what L missed while he was on cases. So L was still very much in the loop of wammys tea.

L: you're aware of my successors?

You: of course I am. Nate, Mail and Mihael

L: well, Mail was telling me the other day that apparently Linda and K have been arguing over stolen copic markers from the art room. But neither of them have taken them, J has.

You: so thats who took them... alright. I'll take on this kira thing. Send me the info on the suspects and I'm on it.

L: thats not all.

You: ?

L: I want you to come to Japan and join the taskforce.

You: me? See the face of L and in return he sees mine in order to infiltrate kira? That's an offer I'm not passing up. Of course I know what you look like, I know everything. But I haven't seen any pictures of you since you were 17 so I'm guessing you've changed.

L: oh yeah I got taller.

You: you still have the emo hair?

L: don't remind me I haven't left my emo phase...

The conversation wrapped up with L sending you all the information you needed to get a start on the project and head to japan. L didn't hear from you for about a week, until he got a message out of the blue.

You: look at the security cameras.

He pulled up the live feed, seeing a girl with a face mask and suitcase at the doorstep, waving at the camera.

"My god she's good... finding this place without an address..." he mumbled to himself, getting up to go let you in.

When he reached the door, he unlocked all the security and let you in.

"L" you stated.

"Gossip" he replied.

You held out a hand to shake, he took it. As you shook hands he gave you a look.

"You look familiar" he said.

"Wait until I take the mask off"

You pulled it off, and the second he saw your full face it all clicked. He knew who you were, he remembered.

"You're the girl-"

"I'm the back seat of the car next to you the day you were picked up off the streets the day you were abandoned and taken to wammys? Yes"

"You gave me a lollipop! And said I was so small for my age"

"And boy have you gotten taller"

"I barely remember that day, I repressed it. But you were the one thing I remembered. I always thought you were sent to another orphanage or something because I never saw you again... that's how you know my name you were in the car when I said it" he said, shocked at this information.

"That means you should know my name too. If you remember"

He thought for a moment, digging up the memories of that dreaded day he became an orphan.

"(Y/n)"

"Indeed it is (y/n). I'm quite the type for symbolism so..." you began, digging into your pocket.

You pulled out a lollipop, handing it out for him.

"I have you a lollipop the first time we met. I'll give you one the first time we re-unite"

He took the lollipop, a small smile on his face. He'd always wondered what happened to the girl in the car. He never thought it was the infamous wammys gossip dealer. You were so tiny when he first saw you, as was he. But now... now you were a fully grown woman, a whole new person but still clearly the same girl from the car.

And... shit, you were so cute.
