The Lazarus Effect

Amy Winehouse- Back to Black

Jason: 

Ilyasviel looks really calm for someone who was arrested and triggered today. We had started the day amazingly. I noticed it all went downhill after she freaked out on the bed. When Damian told her about what that kid had said about her mother I thought she was going to make a bigger fuss about it but she seemed utterly unphased. 

"Yo, I heard you guys aren't coming," Roy said when I answered my phone. 

"Yeah, the senator's wife put her hands on Damian and Ilya ended up elbowing her in the face. She's not allowed to leave the city for forty-eight hours," I said putting my earpiece on so I can continue to paint. 

"Wow, is she okay?" I looked over at her to see she was explaining the wallpaper situation to Bruce and Dick. 

"Honestly, I don't think she is. She says she's fine but there's something there," 

"Ow, Thea," he cried out. 

"Like what?" Thea asked. 

"Is she acting all neutral?" another voice asked. 

"Who's that?" I asked.

"It's Felicity," 

"Yeah, she is. Bruce got her a place on the pier and I feel like she's unnecessarily putting all her energy into decorating," 

"Oh," they both said. 

"Oh?" I asked.

"We're canceling our party and we're going over," Thea announced. 

"Are you serious?" Felicity asked. 

"Yeah, the last time she was like this she disappeared and came back with a freaking demon possessing her," 

"A sun god but yeah," Roy corrected. 

"This is more important. Roy go find Sin. I'll let Ollie know," the call was ended. I text Roy the address. 

"What did you do?" Ilya asked looking over at me after a few minutes. I looked at the wall to see it was evenly painted. 

"What you asked," I said looking back at her. 

"Sin just text me she's coming with Thea and Roy. That she's super excited to see me," 

"I just told Roy you couldn't leave the city because you were arrested," she sighed heavily

"The only reason they get together is for intervention," she said tossing her phone on the table. "That usually ends in all of us getting wasted and doing something insane," 

"I'm in," Dick said raising his hand. 

"Me too," I laughed. She sighed before she went back to helping Bruce with the wallpaper. 

"I think she needs this," Dick said taking the masking tape to add more stripes on the wall. 

"This hallway is going to make me dizzy when I come home drunk," I said rolling the dark grey paint on the wall over the tape. 

"I'll have my camera ready," he laughed. 

"I saw Barbra's car across the street when we arrived at the station. You good?" 

"Gordon got an upgrade on the tech in the building. She's just working," 

"And keeping tabs," he rolled his eyes. 

"Not all of us date psychos like you, Jay," I laughed looking over at Illia who was balancing on a chair while she put up the wallpaper over the corner of the living room.
