[The stench of bleach probably is the first thing that hits him as Nine-Nine shoves the door aside. He glances at the clock on Intensity's phone to see how long it took.]

You made him wait less than I would have. Come on in.

[He waves him in. He'll see Intensity motionless inside this somewhat illuminated warehouse. The floor is absolutely spanking clean. You probably could eat off it if you didn't mind the tangy after taste of bleach. However, the place won't be devoid of blood as Intensity's clothes are speckled with it. Nine Nine has darkening splotches on his shirt and pants, but luckily he wears darker colors so it blends in better.]

[Anubis, on the other hand, is pretty much free of blood. he looks worn out, though, and is holding a cleaning rag pretty tightly.]

Ah... hi.

[He follows Nine-Nine inside. The smell of bleach and the sight of Intensity's body on the floor just kind of washes over him, and he takes in the scene without really reacting to anything.]

Hello.

[He laughs at his expression.]

Good. He did prep you.

Some ground rules. One. You never speak about this to anyone. Ever. I don't need this circulating around and rumors spreading. Let's avoid that bullshit.

Huh. Guess there is only one ground rule. He's all yours.

[Gives a fake salute.]

[gives Nine a somewhat exasperated look before turning his attention to Cobalt.]

Sorry about this. I've healed him fully, so all you have to do is revive him.

News about this getting around is the absolute last thing I want, so no worries there.

[He kneels beside Intensity, rubbing his hands together like he's warming them up.]

Alright, here goes nothing.

[He puts his hands on Intensity's chest. For a moment, nothing happens.

Suddenly there's a clap of displaced air and a plume of green light bursts around them, radiating outward, illuminating everything -- the floor, the air, Intensity's body -- coils of delicate mist appear and vanish in a moment, leaving behind shimmering motes of green light, twinkling like shards of crystal.

It's over in a second. The sparkling green lights glitter briefly and wink back out of existence.]

[In contrast to the delicate and tranquil light show that preceded it, Intensity wakes up just like every time he was revived in the House of Mirth.

He wakes up fucking screaming]

[Yikes.]

[Doesn't even have a smart ass comment.]

[UHHH

oh shit, did he miss something? no, there's no way. but--]

Intensity-san?!

[Cobalt puts his hand on Intensity's shoulder.

For Intensity, Cloud Nine feels like a rush of soothing water through his mind, washing back all negative emotions. His fear is still there but it's out of arm's reach, where it can no longer affect him. His thoughts become clear and calm.]

[Bold of you to think emotions like clear, calm, and soothing actually have a positive impact on Intensity. I mean, yeah sure, for a normal person, that would absolutely be the thing to do.

But for Intensity who lives and breathes on spite and anger, it just makes him feel unnaturally--- empty.

He turns and grabs the wrist of that hand on his shoulder with more force than necessary]

What that fuck is that? Turn! it! Off!

[He doesn't flinch in Intensity's grip, but he does turn it off.

All Intensity's negative emotions are back at full blast.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

[Let's go of Cobalt's wrist and just---

Okay.

Okay. Give him a second to re-orient himself]

Congratulations. Your revival powers work.
