"Today, we have ourselves a treat. Our beloved Hammer will take on a new challenger. Just in from...", Cherry announces from the middle of the ring, motioning towards the new challenger.

"Grundy come from swamp.", the big pale man says.

The crowd laughs.

"Rules are simple. Last man standing wins. Besides that, anything goes.", Cherry says as the crowd cheer.

People scream out for the fighters to hurt each other, everyone eager to watch the carnage.
Lee and I don't really enjoy the fights, only being here out of obligation. Mindless violence isn't really my cup of tea.

"Fight!", Cherry begins the match.

The fighter, Hammer, gives the first blow. Hitting Grundy in the face with his makeshift hammer made of a barbell with three weights on one end. Grundy falls to the floor after a second hit in the face, Hammer continuing to hit him as he's down.
Hammer screams, working up the crowd. They all cheer wildly waving their arms.

"What are you doing? Fight!", the man, whose name I'm pretty sure is Ed Nygma, yells at Grundy from the sidelines.

"Grundy fight now?", Grundy asks.

"Yes, now!"

Grundy stands back up, stopping the Hammer's weapon as he swings it towards him. Hammer tries to pull his weapon away from him. But when it doesn't budge he tries to kick Grundy instead. That also proves to be useless and Grundy punches him in the face, making him go down with one hit. He then uses the hammer and crushes the man's head with it.
Grundy looks around as the crowd begins to chant his name.

"Yes, yes! Yes! Grundy, Ed's best friend.", Nygma cheers, pulling Grundy into a hug.

"Looks like I got a new cash cow. Take good care of him, docs. And clean up what's left of Hammer.", Cherry tells us.

I can't help rolling my eyes as she walks away. I might not be for mindless violence but there are some people that waver my stance towards it, Cherry obviously being one of them.

Once there isn't much work left to do in the club I head to the clinic. The line for the clinic is huge, the place being almost completely packed. I take care of as many people as I can, sadly there would be some people who I couldn't help much. It was heartbreaking when I couldn't help them, I hated not being able to give them the aid they desperately needed. 
After a while of taking patients, the line still didn't seem to be getting smaller. Thankfully Lee was finally able to join me in the clinic.

"Hey, sorry I took so long.", she tells me as she sets up her station.

"No worries. I was just finishing up with this little one here.", I say as I help the little girl I was taking care of down.

I hand her and her sister a lollipop before they leave.

"Sometimes I imagine how great it'd be to have one of my own.", I chuckle as I walk over to Lee.

"You'd make an amazing mother.", Lee says as she starts taking care of another patient.

"Hey, I've got some errands to run. I won't be too long.", I say, grabbing my jacket.

"Do you mind getting some more medications while you're out?"

"We don't have much money for meds, but I'll see what I can get.", I tell her before walking out.

I don't walk much outside the clinic when I bump into Nygma.

"Oh, hey, stranger."

"Rose, hi.", he chuckles.
