Gotham City, Arkham Hospital
Sunday Dec 13 10:00 a.m.

Ivy

I knew it wouldn't be long until this happened. But it was sad to see her like this. Cat warned her that she should join us, but she didn't. She didn't trust us.

The operation room was crazy. Surgeons were shouting to me for tools, I was operating her machines and medicine, and Nygma was running tests.

No one knows how she got here or how long she was injured, or even who did it. She seemed to just show up in the emergency hallway in a gernie and Nygma saw her and brought her to the emergency room.

But there was no way she rolled herself here, even if she lived up the block. Someone brought her here and I need to know who it was.

Caroline's so strong, she won't let go. Her stab wound is the deepest I've seen in someone still alive.

Her eyes were fluttering open and closed throughout the operation, I told her to hold on, that it was almost over...

Caitlin

"I need to see Caroline." I said at the desk.

"Emergency room three." The woman in scrubs said and I ran there. And trust me I'm not a runner.

"You can't go in there unless you're family. And this patient has no family." A plump woman said strictly.

"I'm her... second cousin from Australia. I have to go in there." I pleaded.

She opened her mouth to say something but I was already in the operation room.

"Ivy?" I stopped.

"Caitlin?" She said.

Ivy

I was too busy trying to save someone's life to talk to Caitlin. I didn't know she knew Caroline. I kept looking at her from the corner of my eye.

Nygma started to stitch her while I pumped blood through an IV attached to her stomach. She lost so much blood. Caitlin looked like she was going to be sick.

Suddenly Caroline started to shake. The shaking intensified. The machine beeped like crazy and the room was loud.

"Nygma do something!" I shouted.

"I'm stitching as fast as I can we need an oxygen mask!"

I attached the mask around her head. "Caroline!" Caitlin cried. "Please wake up!"

"Caitlin you're not helping! Back up!" I yelled. Beep beep beep beep....

Someone burst through the door.

Caitlin

"Liam." I said in shock. Why wasn't he here earlier?

"Oh my gosh." He said and walked over to Caroline and knelt down. "I'm sorry." He bit his lip and tried not to cry. He held her hand. "I didn't think this would happen I'm sorry."

He's sorry?

Ivy

"Liam you're making it worse! Nygma we need a miracle here what do we do?"

"I can't do this. Sorry." Liam said and left.

I held her hand. It was ice cold. "Ngyma hurry!"

"Done." He said and cut the string of the stitching. All the blood was back in her why isn't she waking up.

I was crying now. "Why her?" I said.

Beep beep beep beep....

One last breath. A long one. Then... "Nicole." She spoke and her eyes shot open.

Right in front of the door was Nicole, her purple eyes stared at me.
