He knocked three times before Cecily opened her door. "She's over there on the couch."
She stepped aside to allow him in the apartment. With his hands in his hoodie's pockets, he walked into the small apartment. In the living room covered up in blankets was Zatanna. She looked to be fast asleep/ He could see dried tear streaks when he sat on the edge of the couch.
He gently brushed her hair with his palm. She didn't budge.
"Thanks Cecily. I owe you."
"Just make sure she's cheered up. That's how you can repay me." She pulled the covers off of her and helped Dick with propping her up and getting her on his back. She brushed a strand of hair that had fallen in front of her face away. "Call me when you get her home.'
"I will. Tell Tommy I said hello."
"Will do."
He was halfway to the mansion when he felt her starting to stir. "Dick? W-where are-"
"We headed back to the mansion. Cecily told me where you were." He waited for that to sink into her sleep fizzled brain. He could feel her nod against his back then she started wiggle. He secured his hold on her. "What are you doing?"
"I;m trying to get off. I must be heavy. It must hurt."
"Shh. You're not hurting me. You're hurting me. I got you, love."
She stopped struggling and relaxed against his back. He felt something feathery soft against his neck above the collar. "Thank you." She laid her head on his shoulder and fell back asleep.
Dick was grinning all the way back to the mansions.
