speedy_queenThea is exhausted. Maybe it's just the whole dying and resurrecting thing and maybe it's knowing she's never going to see Roy again and maybe, just maybe, it's the fact that she's tired of being Ollie's kid sister and ready to be someone important.
She thinks Roy got that more than anyone else, considering he gifted her the Arsenal suit and his legacy. She's not as good a shot as Ollie but she does all right, especially with a team to back her up. It's not a bad gig and the high? The high is better than any drugs or alcohol she's ever touched. She has to keep it secret, of course, but she has people who can share that secret with her. It's not that hard when there's others to shoulder the burden.
Today, she's not suited up in the traditional sense. She's still balancing Verdant with her nocturnal activities and she's noticed a hell of a lot more leather sneaking into her daily wardrobe. Today she's got slim leather pants and a red silk shirt with no back, the kind of thing that Ollie would never let her leave the house in. Too bad Ollie's not around to tell her no, right?
She tugs open the door to head out to the club to balance the books but instead of bright sunlight that leaves her needing shades, she walks into the low lighting and plush carpets of a hotel. Not just any hotel - the hotel.
"Well, well. Good to know I can still waltz into crazytown whenever I want to. I guess the books can wait." It's been a little while since she's been back here and she's a wardrobe change and two haircuts removed but Thea wonders if any time's passed here in the hotel. Would Olaf have noticed she disappeared? One way to find out.
She heads to the Smoking Room, this time as a patron instead of a bartender. It's different being on this side of the bar but at a newly-minted 21, Thea is enjoying the prospect of legally drinking. "Old-fashioned," she says, deciding to go with an old favorite.
