"Alfred?"

"Yes master Liam."

"I have lessons with her tomorrow. It's time to tell. She's gonna hear it on the streets, maybe even on the news..."

"They don't put dead villains on the news." He said and he had a point.

"But the sooner the better! She's gonna hate me if she finds out another way."

"If she hates you we'll move on and find someone else to be it. We've done it before."

"She's different.."

"You don't mean to tell me you have feelings for this one?"

"Don't talk about her like she's a science experiment Alfred!"

"If you do like her, you have to stop teaching."

"Then I'll never see her."

"Well it's your choice. But you can't tell her. And what if she doesn't feel the same way?"

I couldn't answer that.

Carolines Aptmt.
1:00 p.m.

Caroline

"I'm glad to see you're better." Caitlin said, handing me the shake she made and took a sip of hers. "This is disgusting how do you drink this?"

"It's healthy." I said. "And I have to get back to basketball season."

"Hold up Caroline. You were just stabbed through your stomach I think basketball can wait."

"About that. We have to stop Penguin before he stabs you next!"

"Wait wait wait. Penguin?"

"It was him. Who else would do that?"

"It wasn't Penguin."

"Why are you defending him?" I asked. "You've been so weird lately Caitlin."

"IT WASN'T LUKE OKAY!"

"HOW DO YOU KNOW? I WAS STABBED! I DONT HAVE MANY OTHER ENEMIES!"

"You have more you don't know. I'm one of them remember?"

"Why did you say AM?"

"I'm seeing Luke again."

Caitlin

The look on her face made me feel as if I was the one who was stabbed. "It's not what you think."

"I knew it! I knew you were defending him! I can't believe you! He tried to kill me! And you probably helped him!"

"That night he was at my apartment when you were stabbed. The hospital had no family to call so they called me and I left him and came right away."

"I don't believe you!" I stood up fast and felt a stretch in my stomach. I held it and focused on my breathing.

"Oh my gosh. Are you okay?"

"Don't touch me!" I said. "Not when you helped me get like this!"

"I didn't! I know who did!"

"Who?"

"Liam. And I have proof. Well, Cat does."
