The Birth Of Elle Nygma. #3

4- My Last Day With You.

Pink In The Night- Mitski

"How old were you? When he-", "4.", "And Blythe?", "She was 4 too, but 7 when I started working.", "What about Milo?", "10 when we started.", "Your dad has never been formally charged for that right?" The man asks, "Why would he- He was just doing the work of my mother- what happened to Harley, I thought she was my doctor.", "Harleen is too close to your case, she's been taken off, but you have me." He smiles, "Right..." Elle nods, "And you were raped right? By Jerome Valeska, is that correct?", Elle taps her fingers on the table, "Yeah...", "And was he charged?"...

...she whimpered, fearing who it was, but she couldn't stop Ian, as he attacked Jerome, stabbing him, over, and over, and over again, until blood came up his throat, and dribbled out of his mouth, Elle couldn't do anything, she just sat on her knees, naked, begging him to stop, but Jerome was dead, and Elle was ugly crying, Ian stood on his knees, hovering over the red-head, huffing, blood covering him, Ian looked down at her, "I'd kill anyone for you, Elle."...

"No... He's dead, I never had the chance to pursue.", The doctor nods, "Okay well, Elle, That was a good session for today, I'll let you go for dinner."...

"He asked me about Jerome." She says as she pokes at her food, "Did you tell him I murdered him?" Ian asks with a chuckle, "No I-I didn't." She pushes her food away, "Come on Elle, your not getting food tomorrow if you don't eat.", "Good.", "Elle, Eat your damn food.", "It tastes like mush- my favorite lunch lady is dead- she gave me the good stuff- this is just mush." She sobs... She's been doing that a lot lately, just bursting out in tears, the doctor said its because she's on meds now, so her shit is just regulating, but Elle just felt like dying, Elle always feels like dying, "I have 3 weeks left here." She says, "I know... and I have 6 years." He throws his fork down, "I'm trying to get better- isn't that what you taught me..." she scoffs, "This is torture Elena.", "If I try to kill myself they'll take me away... then you won't have to see me...", "Elle-", "I could do it Ian- Just say the word- I'll do it-", "Stop-", "I think the butter knife is sharp enough- I'll just have to push harder- it'll work- just say the word-", "Elle! No." He hushed himself, "Just no."...

1 week later...

"Ian Wilson?", "What about him?" Elle asks, "What were you two?" The doctor asks, Elle thinks for a moment before saying- "Ian was the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me, he was the love of my life and the person I hated most, I don't think there ever was a day that I wasn't worried about him, through everything, I cared about him more then I could ever imagine.", "Was he your boyfriend?", "No... he never got around to asking.", "Did that hurt you?", "Yeah... to a point, but I understood, he didn't love me like I love him, I don't think he could love me like I loved him.", "Why's that?", "He's not that kind of guy."...

"Elle Nygma, Tell me about her.", Ian scoffs, "What's there to tell?", "ian...", "Fine. Elle Nygma is a bi-", "Tell the truth.", Ian shakes his head, sighing, "I don't know... she's stubborn and crazy, but... I guess for a while she was all I had.", "All you had?", "She never left me, I was horrible and she never left me...", "What did you do to her?", "I left her, alone, so many times, I married girls to forget about Elle, but I never could, because Elle is my soulmate, and I think I will love her forever...", "Does she feel the same?" The doctor raises an eyebrow, Ian sits with a look on his face, thinking, "We went to Japan, and Mexico, and when we came home, her childhood best friend was dead, and she stayed in bed for weeks... and then she started throwing up blood, and we didn't know until we found her half dead in her bed, and I was so scared, she was in a coma, and we sent her away... and so much happened, and I thought it would only make her want me more, but now... she doesn't hold onto me in bed, she doesn't look at me the same, she doesn't love me anymore, I feel like that's okay, because of everything I've done to her, not hiding Teresa's body better was the worst one."...

1 week after that...

"Tell me about your coma.", "Which one?" Elle chuckles, "Your most recent, tell me why Ian Wilson feels so bad about it.", "He feels bad about it?" Elle sits up, worried, "Uh-", "Your not allowed to tell me that- why let it slip?" She asks, curious, "Elle you have to understand, us doctors slip sometimes.", Elle could feel the tension, "Not Arkham doctors." She says, chuckling, "What are you up to-", "What-", "Your nervous- I was trained to know that... to feel your feelings, so tell me, doctor, what are you doing under the nose of Arkham asylum?" She questions, his face turns serious, "What are you accusing me of?", "Oh, I'm not accusing you of anything... I can smell an out-of-control doctor when I see one." She smiles, "So tell me, what do you want to know?" She leans back in her chair, The man looks taken back, "I work for your father.", "So that's why you keep asking about what he did-", "Elena-", "It's Elle.", "He's deteriorating, he doesn't remember your birth or any of your siblings, He is... young again before he was The Riddler before he knew his other side.", "When he worked with the GCPD? When he was friends with Jim Gorden?" Elle asks, "Yes.", "I don't understand... I just saw him a few weeks ago...", "Did he seem off?", "I mean... Sort of, he looked like he was 30...", "And now he's even younger.", "So tell me about your coma, where they sent you... The Joker sent your dad and The Penguin to the same place...", Elle knits her eyebrows together, "Are you sure?", "Yes, why?", "Because I was sent to A Wayne Enterprises facility."...

"Seriously?", "Don't trust that dude, he just wants information." She shrugs, eating her dinner, "That can't be true...", "Why not?- He literally told me himself, Ian.", "Then why did he ask me about our love?", "-he did?", "He did.", Elle's face turns confused, "Something is fishy...", Ian hums in response, "So your dad doesn't know what he did to you?", "He doesn't even know me, It's kind of funny, the man sells me for years, ruins my childhood, just to not remember any of it, kind of a big fuck you from the universe." She rolls her eyes, "You're allowed to be angry at him, even if he doesn't know." Ian says, "I don't think I am... Angry at him that is... I don't think I want to be angry anymore."...

1 week after that...

"It's our last night together." Ian said as they stared at the ceiling, "Yeah..." Elle breathed out, turning away from him, "Seriously Elle?" He sits up, anger in his voice, "What?" She sits up, startled, "I won't be out of here for 6 years- this is the last night we'll spend together for 6 YEARS! And you won't even hold me- I'm scared-", "Ian-", "Elle I'm scared..." He lets a few tears fall from his eyes, Elle quickly takes him in her arms, his head on her chest as he cried, "I'm sorry..." She whispers, "I love you, Ian, I'm so sorry."...

She tapped her foot on the floor, "Miss Nygma-", "Yeah Yeah- stop doing that, I get it." She says, the desk woman smiles at her, and with a small nod, Elle looked down at her shoes, "Ready to go kid?" A voice said, "Yeah, let's go..." She follows him out of the door, "Why did you do that-" He pinches her, "Ow!- Do what?!", "Admit yourself-", "Because I needed it- And plus... Good hiding spot.", "Well... Did it help?" He asks, unlocking his car, "Fuck no... But I do have some very useful information.", "Mmm?", She buckles up, "Mr. Bruce Wayne fixed up my daddy and The penguin too... and now both of them are about 24 again...", "What-", "Yeah... and I'm stuck 18 forever-", "Oh my god-", "We thinking the same thing?", "You weren't the first human experiment-", "Nope...", "You were just the first successful one- what are we gonna do?", "I think it's time to forget and forgive huh?" She smiles, Max smiles too, "Really?", "Find a place we can have a large dinner, I'll contact people, It's time to get The Misfits back together."...

"Dear Fellow Misfits, It's time we get back together, meet at the old warehouse in the woods a week from this day, Trust me, you're gonna want to hear this. -Elle."
