The recovery

important note at the bottom.

Ivy

I was with my mum again and dad was there too and Zach was walking towards us. He was smiling at me and I looked up and mum and dad were smiling too. I started running towards Zach and I felt a pain in my leg and heard a gunshot. I looked at Zach and someone had sliced a sword through his body. Blood was drooling out his mouth. I looked at mum and she was dead by a gunshot by the head. Bruce was walking towards me and he just spat at me. "Its all your fault that they're dead. If you could defend yourself than Zach and mum wouldn't have died." He looked at me with disgust. I turned away from him and Alfred was running towards me, "Miss Ivy, wake up." He shook my shoulders.

I woke up in the bat cave laying on a table. I was crying. "I will call Master Bruce and Master Dick and Master Zach." I sat up and tried to walk away to the elevator but Alfred stepped in front of me. "I clearly will not be able to physically stop you but I will escort you to your own room." He extended his hand out and I took it. He walked me to my room and sat me on my bed. I was shivering as the dream was so vivid. He draped a blanket over my shoulders and called the boys. "Yes Master Bruce, Miss Ivy is awake but she is in shock and I am very worried about her." "Okay see you in a minute," "Miss Ivy, the boys will be back in a minute." He didn't think that I understood what he said but I did clearly. I didn't speak to Alfred. I heard a door slam. "IVY! Where are you?" Zach called up. "IN HERE MASTER ZACH." Alfred slightly screamed down. Zach came running in and looked at me with pure concern he sat on my bed and tried to hug me but as soon as he wrapped one of his arms around me I lost control of my body and just screamed "get away from me." As I shuffled away from him. He was confused and Bruce came walking in. "What was the shouting about?" he asked. Alfred leaned into his ear and I couldn't hear what he said but I was guessing he was filling him in. "Alfred and Zach could you leave the room for a minute." Zach looked at me and I stayed staring into blank space. I wanted to look at him to show that I was fine but nothing happened.

They left and Bruce sat next to me yet he kept his distance. "Ivy." I wanted to look at him but nothing. "Ivy, what happened in the dream." As soon as he said dream I snapped into control and looked at him. "I was just reliving the fight. With Cody." I lied. "Ivy, I'm not stupid. That wouldn't warrant this amount of shock." I just looked at him with confusion. Could he read my mind or something? First he knew about the space issue than he could tell how to get me to snap out of my trance like state. Now he knew I was lying. "If I tell you the truth than can you keep it to yourself?"

"Of course Ivy."

"I was with my mum again and you were there too and Zach was walking towards us. He was smiling at me and I looked up and mum and you were smiling too." Bruce chuckled at the fact that I said he was smiling. "I started running towards Zach and I felt a pain in my leg and heard a gunshot. I looked at Zach and someone had sliced a sword through his body. Blood was drooling out his mouth. I looked at mum and she was dead by a gunshot by the head. You were walking towards me and he just spat at me. "Its all your fault that they're dead. If you could defend yourself than Zach and mum wouldn't have died." You looked at me with disgust. I turned away from you and Alfred was running towards me, "Miss Ivy, wake up." He shook my shoulders. Bruce looked shocked at me. "That's when I woke up and Alfred's told you the rest." I looked away. "Ivy, there's something else. Isn't there?" Bruce said. "Yes when you were talking to me at first I wanted to look at you strait away but I couldn't, why?"

"Because you were in complete shock. The fact that someone knew you were being false or that they understood your pain at that point took you out of shock." He explained. "Wait how did you know my pain?" I asked. "Because I saw my parents die in front of my eyes." He said with no emotion. "I'm sorry Bruce, I didn't know..." I said with panic. "Ivy, its ok." I sighed with relief. "Ivy?" "Yeah?" "you know I love you right?" "yes I have"

"Can you get Zach in here I want to apologise." Bruce went to open the door. "Bruce, if Zach asks tell him the first version." He nodded. Zach came in and looked at me. I got up and ran to him. He held his arms out and I ran to his chest and hugged him. I was crying. "Please don't hate me, I'm sorry. I didn't want to scream at you..." "Ivy, its fine." He pushed me away and came down to my level as he was a head and a half taller. He held my shoulders and looked me in the eyes. "I would never hate you and all I want is for you to be safe, ok?" I nodded and he hugged me again. "I love you Zach." "I love you too, Ivy."
