Jason watched her carefully. He could easily see the withdraw symptoms. Thoughts of his, well Adam's mother, entered his thoughts for a brief moment. He could feel Adam's anger but simply shook it away. As she told him what happened, he gave her a somewhat quizzical look. "Dark Raven? That a new vigilante or something?" He crossed his rms in front of his chest. "I know you would've given her a fight if you weren't on those drugs." He had held Adam back from basically taking control and cussing her out.

"I don't know it was some bitch with a mallet.." Growls as her irritation showed. Her head was beginning to pound deciding to sit down before the room spun any faster. "I would have fought her and gotten away.." Starting rock some bringing her knees up to her chest. "You gotta help me out here..go to the hospital wing.. I need something to stop the withdrawals."

As soon as Kat described the vigilante, Adam gained control and gasped. Mallet? Could it be...? He was brought out of his thoughts by Kat's voice. Adam hated seeing her like this but he figured it was the only way she could get clean. He grabbed the keys to the room and walked in closing the door behiond him. "I'm sorry but I can't help you..." He had no doubt that he sounded weak but she had a chance to get better. He pushed every thought of his mother from his mind as he looked at her. "What did she look like? The girl with the mallet?" He knew she was in no condition to answer but he wanted to know.

Reaching up raking her fingers through her hair as her head continued to pound hard making it hard for her to think. If only she didn't drop the pipe in that alley she could have salvaged something out of it for a temporary fix. "Fuck you Adam.." She didn't mean what she was saying. The withdrawals were basically speaking for her. "I'm feeling like shit..and you expect me to tell you what that bitch looked like with the mallet?" Closing her eyes resisting the urge to attempt to just slug him.

Adam looked to the floor. Finally, he let all the feelings he had been holding out as he looked back at her. "Look, do you think this is easy for me to see? I hate seeing you go through all this! You're throwing your fucking life away with drugs just like my mom did!" This was genuinely Adam yelling, not Jason. He hardly raised his voice but he was fed up with people taking drugs around him. He didn't even care that a tear had fallen as he yelled. He turned away from Kat, trying to control his racing heart.

Katarina blinked stunned at hearing that. She felt that uneasiness form in the pit of her stomach forcing herself to stand. "A- adam, I'm sorry. I had no idea.." Barely seeing the tear on his cheek as she struggled to focus on what was in front of her. Instinctively, she put her skinny bruised arms around him slowly. "I lost control..I'm trying to get better though..I won't do anymore drugs."

Adam felt her arms wrap around him. He had managed to control his racing heart for the moment. It took a moment but he wrapped his arms around her. "I didn't mean to yell..." Hearing that she said that she would get clean, he took in a breath of relief. "Good...thank you..." He felt bad about yelling but he had to get it off his chest before it ate at him.

Closing her eyes again trying to get comfortable in his embrace focusing on that so that the pain didn't dominate every portion of her body. " I know.." Katarina nodded knowing he didn't mean to yell at her. Kissing him on the lips. "Will you stay with me?"

Adam felt her getting comfortable and he eased his slightly tensed muscles. Who was he kidding? He didn't have a chance with that vigilante that saved him She most likely had a boyfriend already. What kat had said echoed in his mind. He held her tighter but not so that tight that it caused discomfort. "Of course I will."

"Thank you." Her lips curled into a soft smile just enjoying his embrace as the withdrawals eased up for the time being. Returning to the bed she laid down on it scooting over giving Adam enough room to come join her. Putting her arms around his body again cuddling with him.

[Set after Bomb New Jersey]
Ruby muttered plans to herself as she stalked the halls. "I'll need alot... Alot of scrap motors. Try the junkyard and round the apartment. Gotta find about 50. I'll start at 50 and work my way up..." Her quiet voice slightly echoed around her. But to her surprise, the echoes got louder. Then she realised the noises were coming from other people: a male and a female.
She rounded the corner, narrowing her eyes as the voices got louder and louder until she stood just before the room where the people were. Slowly, she took one step at a time appearing in front of them; her lanky figure casting a long shadow on the floor.
Kat and Adam, or Jason or whoever the hell he was, were lying on the bed holding each other. She bit back from mocking them as her relationship with Kat was on its last legs. Looking Kat over, she realised she looked almost ill; she looked like Ruby had when she'd started to go clean. Ruby almost frowned at how skinny Kat had got but her face remained plain, emotionless.
"Well, what do we have here?" She shook her blonde curls off her shoulders and took a small step forward, waiting patiently for Kat to speak to her.

Hazel eyes opened slowly at the sound of a female voice recognizing it immediately. It was Ruby. She hadn't seen her in awhile. Not really budging from her comfortable position with Jason as she didn't want to get up.
Parting her dry lips, "I thought you left Arkham, Ruby.." It was starting to get rough for her to even speak again at this point as the withdrawals came back full force causing her now thin frame to shiver.

Ruby's jaw tensed as she saw Kat shiver. It wasn't cold, it was quite warm in fact. Withdrawal symptoms, showing Kat had just started to stop drugs not back before when she told Ruby to. Ruby refrained herself from letting out a roar of fury, angry that Kat had decided to tell Ruby what to do before going off to indulge some more in the hazardous substances. Drugs weren't good for me? Then why were they good for you, you hypocrite! Ruby thought. She picked her gaze up from the floor and stared back into Kat's eyes, masking the fire in her eyes with a sudden softness.
"I'm half and half. I spent most of my time out of here though. No point in wasting time in this shithole." She sighed. "Can't say my apartment is any better though. I'll be working mostly in here now. Got a job to do."
Cracking her knuckles, she stretched her arms. "What have you been doing then, Kat? Got a job? Got a surgeon to take that damn chip out your shoulder? Got clean?"

"What kind of job are you doing?" Katarina looked at her trying to mask the withdrawal symptoms she was experiencing knowing fully well Ruby might get pissed at her. The two of them had a shaky relationship at best especially after that one incident where Ruby nearly OD'd and that infuriated Kat telling her to clean up and flushed the stash down the toilet.
"I haven't worked lately and as far as finding a surgeon I'm not sure anymore if I want Nightshade gone.. Jason's taken a liking to her." That last part was emphasized when Ruby asked if she was clean. It almost seemed sarcastic or at least that's how Kat interpreted it. "I haven't smoked my pipe in a while." Admitting she was only really fixated on one drug in particular unlike how she would normally mix several when she was with Ruby. After Ruby and her seemed to separate, she had focused on that one drug like a lifeline.
It got her into trouble with Harvey at his casino and she had lost a large amount of weight because of it but after Dark Raven captured her she decided to clean up her act.

Pursing her lips, she smacked them together, giving Kat her first clue. She licked her lips and hunched her shoulders, peering downwards. She pretended to pull a jacket on and straighten it, putting on gloves too. Stopping, she straightened her back. "Get it yet? I'm working for Joker. Making tons of bombs like seriously alot. This city will be ruined by the time he's done with it. Probably won't even be fit enough to be called a city. Just a mess."
Ruby snorted. "Nor will you ever... You don't want Nightshade gone? You're kidding me right? I would get rid of that bitch before you could say abracadbra. Plus, I don't care what Jason likes, he can have her for all I care. I'm straight. I don't swing both ways." She smirked, licking her lips. "In a while, pfft. You mean you haven't smoked it in a few hours? Maybe a day even? C'mon, don't lie to me."
