Chapter 25

THOMAS WAYNE

"It is good to see you, Dr Isley," he said as he lay there on the hospital bed; the redhead woman stood beside him, a bouquet of flowers in her hands, a small basket of what seemed to be fruits dangling from the other one as she smiled nervously.

"It's the least I could do," she said as Selina walked forward and took the bouquet from her, motioning for her to sit down.

"No. No, it's fine. You should have the seat, Miss Kyle," and that last word made him raise a brow.

"Miss Kyle!" he teased as Selina rolled her eyes before turning towards Palmella.

"You can just call me Selina as you did before," she said, and the red-haired woman frowned.

"But aren't you," she then hesitantly pointed at them, and Selina nodded.

"Yes, but that doesn't have to change things between us," she smiled as she moved a bit and placed the bouquet on the table before sliding on the bed by his side as Palmella took the seat.

The week since he had woken up had been hectic, to say the least; his injuries were too extensive, and even after a month and a half, he was still bedridden, his spine broken in several places, the extent of the damage yet unknown.

And then there was Gotham. They had been a little late in the distribution of the antitoxin, and that had caused major havoc in the city, a city which he had helped clean up, yet now the streets were once more littered with crime and injustice, with only Gotham's caped crusader left to scare the criminal element of the city.

He was about to get a new ally, if the news were right, for Gotham City had just elected a new DA.

Harvey Dent.

Interesting.

Selina saw his eyes resting on the TV screen as she snuggled into his side as she snarked.

"Tch. It seems they have all forgotten about you and your heroics and have picked a new favorite," she said, and he raised a brow.

"I was never their favorite," he replied as he turned to face the redhead.

"I am sorry; I believe you must be thinking why I called for you, Dr Isley," he asked, and he didn't miss how the redhead's eyes were lingering at someone beside him.

"Yeah," she said quickly as she turned to face him as he continued.

"You must find it rather surprising that our lawyers have kept the city's police and other departments from questioning you regarding the events of that night a month ago," he began, and she nodded.

"Yes, but I don't know why?" she questioned as her eyes narrowed.

"First of all, I want to thank you for saving mine and Selina's life on that day; she tells me that you were the first person to find us," he began, and she shook her head rapidly.

"There is no need for thanks. Plus, it is I who should be thanking you after all," she said, not continuing as he waved her gratitude away.

"You don't have to thank me for anything, though I believe there could be a little favor you could do me," he began and saw her nod.

"Anything," she said enthusiastically.

He thought of his words for a second before he finally began.

"The reason that my lawyers have been preventing you from giving a statement about the events of that night is because of what you saw in my office, especially in regarding to what you didn't see," he began and she frowned for a second as she tried to reason what he was trying to say.
