The Hard Part
Hey, if something happens to me one night, I need you to make sure Zach knows, okay? I don't want him to be the last person to know.

Today was one of those rare days when Tim Drake hated being a man of his word. J'anna and Lian stayed over in London to talk to J'anna's mother, but Tim decided to head back and get other things in order. He was happy for his girlfriend, but there was too much left undone right now to rest.

One of his best friends was gone.

He'd placed a call to Conner and Cassie to let them know, but asked them to keep things quiet until after he'd spoken to Zach. They promised they would.

Then he dialed Zach's number. For once, he got Zach's answering machine. He must be out with his new partners or something. Mia mentioned that he'd found a few more people into magic like him.

"Hey, Zach. Can you stop by my place, man? It's important.

It's about Mia." he says.

	Zach lets her hug him, but it takes him a moment to return it. "Thank you... it's alright though. I'm going to fix everything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sindella's eyes widened. Her mother had always warned against resurrection spells. The person never came back exactly the same. "You can't...you can't do that, Zach. It's not safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's alright, Sindella. I've had notations drawn up for ages in case... well.." He seems upset. "Well, you know the condition she had. This... this changes a few things, but I know I can make it like it was. I can get her back." His composure starts to waver again. "This.. this can't be it for her. Not just being cut down by some lunatic.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mia wouldn't want you to do this. She wouldn't be the same. She'd be...different." She paused, trying to concentrate to find Mia among the many voices of the dead that she heard everyday. Mia was familiar to her, so it wouldn't be hard. If she could talk to her, she could talk some sense into her cousin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's... it's more than not fair... it's not right.. this can't be what there was supposed to be for her. She should have been saving the world... not.. not like this." Zach drones on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She wouldn't want you to do something like this," Sindella said, as she continued to search for Mia's voice. "Sometimes life isn't fair." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She... she could have had everything. Ollie would have taken care of her for her entire life. No psychopaths trying to blow her up. No putting herself through the wringer with endless patrols.. and this is what she gets for it." He looks at Sindella, sadly. "What the hell's the point of anything I can do if I can't even try to put this right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I...I...don't know." She didn't know what to say to him. She had never had a boyfriend, and she had never lost anyone close to her before. So she did what she though was best. She moved to Zach and wrapped him in a hug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zach seems like he's about to say something, but it just falls apart. He drops the papers he was holding and just clings to her. It's a long few minutes of quiet sobbing into his cousin's shoulder. "For the record..." He eventually gets words out. "You're not permitted to die before me." (Reply to this)(Parent)
