The Lazarus Effect

Red Hood: Retcon Series Episode 2 (Outlaws)

"I can't believe you still have the highest grade after being gone for so long," Annie said as the sorority girl and Ilya made their way over to me or to Ilya's car. I had insisted on picking her up since she doesn't want me to be her personal guard anymore. 

"I can tutor you if like," she offered. "I can't stay out too late though. My dad is over the top protective right now or you can come over," 

"That's not going to happen. I don't get tutored. Do you even know who I am?" she asked rolling her eyes. Ilya smiled at her. 

"I'll see you later then," 

"TTFN, Ills. Try not to get kidnapped again. Maybe get a better bodyguard," she said looking me over like I disgusted her. 

"Don't," Ilya said putting her hand up stopping me from saying anything when I opened my mouth. "Goodbye, Annie," 

The girl waved at her before walking away. She's lucky I love watching her walk away or I would have made her fall on her face and made it look like a damn accident. Ilyasviel hadn't officially joined their sorority but she was basically part of it. Summer is almost on top of us and she had fallen into a routine. None of us have really talked about what happened and if you ask me it's best for all of it to stay like this. Talking about anything just makes things worse, I think. 

"I hate her," I said starting up the car she hadn't wanted back when Bruce had first gotten it for her. She hasn't dealt with the insurance to get another car of her own though so she's kind of stuck with this one.

"What's missing?" she asked looking over at me. 

"What do you mean?" I asked handing her the ticket since the passenger side in this thing is on the left. 

"It feels weird. Like I'm missing something and I can't place it. Do you know?" she sat back after punching her parking ticket in. 

"I don't know. Fucking, maybe?" 

"What?" she looked over at me daring me to repeat what I said. 

"I'm not changing my answer. You heard me toots," she rolled her eyes. 

"I've never done that so, no. That's not the missing piece. I feel like I've forgotten something and it's bugging me," 

"I think you need a little action in your life," 

"Enough with the fucking jokes, Jay," I laughed. 

"That's not what I meant but I love that I'm getting to you," 

"I don't want to put myself at unnecessary risk. I don't want to give Set a reason to come out. I think I'm going to ask Bruce for a job at Wayne Enterprises," 

"What?" I laughed. "Are you serious?" 

"Yeah, I'm bored. I don't know what the hell I'm doing with my life,"

"You're working on your doctorate's program," she shook her head. 

"I'm Ilyasviel Wayne. That's not enough to keep me out of getting in trouble. Speaking of trouble. Do you think it's a little weird that Damian spends so much time with Tim in California? He asked Bruce if he could spend the summer over there. I think he likes someone there," 

"I doubt it. Both the chicks Tim works with are Meta-human. One is a princess from some galaxy far, far away and the other one is literally a half demon," 

"My money is on the half demon," she sighed. Damian crushing on a girl? Nah.

"I think he likes being over there because he doesn't have Bruce on his ass all the time,"
