Partners In Crime

Lilys POV:
I launched out of my bed with a loud scream. Leila jolted our of bed and looked at me concerned.

"You okay?" She asked me.

"Sorry, yeah, I'm fine."

"Same nightmare again?" She asked and I nodded. A few days after Jerome fought Sionis, I started having this nightmare (they're not related at all.) It's about my sister... in the nightmare I see her killing our father, then she burns the house down and runs away. I've been having it every night for two weeks.

"What do you think it means? It's starting to freak me out. My dreams have predicted things before, do you think that this will actually happen? I don't care about my father, what I care about is my sister because in that dream it shows her running away with a suitcase. You don't think that, that she'd come here, to Gotham, do you?"

"I don't know. But even if it is predicting the future, there's nothing we can do. We're locked up in the infamous Arkham Asylum. The most you can do is stay calm."

"What if it's already happened? A-and what if she does come to Gotham? She can't handle herself out in the streets by herself. She's only 13! She could get kidnapped a-and sold in the black market. Do you know what happens to little girls who get sold in the black market?! I have to get out, we, we have to get out of here, Leila."

"Lily! Snap out of it! You're acting like a crazy person! Freaking out about it is not going to help. Take a deep breath and relax, you're giving yourself a panic attack. Maybe you should be taking your meds. They might calm your anxiety."

"Hell no. Leila, you don't know what they put in those. I mean haven't you heard the rumors going on about what's going on under us, in the basement?"

"What? No. What are people saying?"

"Dr.Strange is experimenting on patients. I heard some of the guards talking and they were talking about how he's turning them into monsters..."

"Lily, that's literally insane."

"Uhm, hello, we're in an insane asylum. Who knows if it's true or not, but I refuse to be an experiment."

"Yeah I really don't wanna take that chance either. Maybe someday we'll get outta here and rule Gotham haha."

"Now that, that would be something." I laughed along with her.

I was sitting at our normal table watching Sionis stare at the same blonde he's been staring at these past two weeks, trying not to burst out in laughter. After the whole fight thing happened we sorted things out and we're cool now, Jerome on the other hand, still hates him with a passion.

"Go talk to her, Sionis." I finally spoke up.

"What? No, I-I can't."

"Why can't you?"

"I'm too nervous, I'll make a fool out of myself."

"Well staring at her is just gonna freak her out."

"Can you do it for me? Please?"

"Seriously? Ya know girls don't like guys that are too scared to ask them out themselves."

"Please? Come on, you're a girl. You know these kinds of things."

"Ya know what? I'll do it for ya buddy!" Jerome said excitedly and walked off to her table whistling.

"Oh God no, Lily, please go with him!" Sionis pleaded.

"Alright fine, but you owe me one, remember that." He nodded and I walked off.
