Deathstroke slipped inside almost unnoticed, his body had a way of doing such things, he was only seen when he wanted to be seen, and there was only person he wanted to see right now.
He knew where she was, he kept tabs, memorized-
her schedule down to the minute detail thanks to his perfect memory. Barring any major issue, she should be right here he was expecting.
He was hurt, slower than usual, gunshot wounds still fresh and just at the initial step to healing.
Slade needed to lay low, and Lillian's-
"And you nurse me back to health every time. Hell, you don't even ask for anything in return. It's been a long time since you've owed me any favors, you know that, right?"
Lillian chuckled , soft but amused.

Anyway, go and be happy with him. The honeymoon phase isn't over just yet."
"Of course you married one of them...at least I know he'll keep you safe, or more likely you'll be keeping him. Anyone wearing that symbol always has a nose for trouble. He'll need you to keep his head on straight."
“... yeah... thanks " she's not going to say anything about that comment ...
gosh, every marriage in existence is going better than his and Adeline's
“ He's a good guy, quite literally. He has the whole S on his chest thing going on ”
“ wonder yourself how you ended up so , youve made mad a lot of people ” she sighs
“ if someone is looking for you still, you know where you can come and hide ”
