Warnings: all the angst, lots of spoilers, usual Geass drama

[Open in the infirmary] Suzaku's eyes flickered open and he frowned as he slowly made sense of the new surroundings. He knew where he was quickly as he had spent a lot of time in the infirmary when Nunnally had been unconscious. He sat up slightly feeling dizzy and letting what he remembered wash over him.

In the dungeon, with Zero. Yes... Lelouch was Zero... Suzaku stared at his memory charm bracelet. Lelouch was Zero but he was also the emperor Suzaku had promised to serve. To bring about Zero Requiem.

He remembered Lelouch shouting at him, shooting his Weapon. He hated him... because Suzaku and Lelouch had spoken about what Lelouch knew and Suzaku knew that he somehow came from a later point in time than Lelouch... Lelouch knew nothing about Suzaku being his knight.

His hands went to the necklace round his neck trying to pull it off. No matter how hard he pulled it was stuck fast. He couldn't take it off... Linked to Lelouch... to Zero. To Lelouch who still believed Zero's ways to be the way to change the world.

He clenched his fists, not knowing what to think or what to do. Angry and guilty, he thought he finally had it worked out but now he was confused again, not knowing what to do.

[Private PDA text to Dolorosa] Dolorosa, it is Suzaku Kururugi from Conquest. Can I talk to you please.

[Later at the lake side] When Suzaku was finally released from the infirmary after he had eaten and changed he went to the lake. The ship was gone now, the waters remarkably calm. He sat staring out at the water, trying to piece together his thoughts. To work out what to do.

[He seems not to hear at first but then sits silently. Nodding at her politely.]

[They sit in silence for a moment before Dolorosa speaks again]

Please tell me what you know.

[Suzaku studied the desk, she needed to know because Zero could not go around blowing up towers. Especially since Lelouch had told him they should stay low and work on winning the game. He had lied to him...]

This... It is more complicated than I originally thought. Zero needs to be stopped but...

[She watches him and can tell how conflicted he is about the matter]

But Zero is someone close to you, is that not correct?

[A very long pause and then a nod.] And someone I swore to serve... though I seem to come from their future... [He hates this place and the fact time is weird.]

Time is very unreliable here. I am aware that you are close to a few people here, but if you are sworn to protect them, I would assume that it is the person you are linked to.

[Dolorosa why are you so good at this?

Suzaku nodded, a slight movement of his head.] Yes... Lelouch is Zero...

[She's magical, that's why]

[She nods along with him, it makes so much sense. He's a prefect and has more access, he was the first person on the scene when her tower was attacked]

Lelouch, I see. We will have to deal with that, do you have any suggestions?

[Dolorosa can't say she knows how to deal with terrorists]

[Suzaku looked down, he had no idea how they should deal with it. Back in Britannia terrorists were dealt with with death. Even if he wanted to kill Lelouch, which he didn't. Not anymore anyways... He had at one time...]

I don't know... I'm sorry he hurt you... but he tends to... He works towards the final goal...

I understand that he is working towards a goal, but aren't we all? This is a goal that can be reached with peaceful cooperation rather than destruction. I cannot let his actions go without consequences.

I understand... You must do what you feel is best.
