Stitches

Chapter 26 'Lifetime'

Two weeks later.

I called Jerome into my office, I didn't know how the hell I would explain to Jerome that Atlas and Orchid inherited my abilities. Jerome entered my office, I told one of my trusted guards to take Orchid and Atlas to the park while I deal with Jerome, he agreed to it knowing that this was easier work than dealing with the mentally ill.

"So, doctorrr, why did you call me in here?" He asked.
"I need to tell you something, it has to do with the kids," I said, a worried expression covered his face. "Is something wrong with them?" He asked.

"They both inherited my abilities," I said. "And that's bad, how?" He asked.
"I just thought you should know, Orchid has a sort of regeneration along with psychic abilities, while Atlas has the same regeneration abilities but with energy manipulation," I explained.

"So, what do you suggest we do about it?" He asked. "I suggest you spend time with them now before they kick a switch and their mind ages before their body," I said.

I heard a knock at the door and I stood up from the couch and walked towards the door. I opened it and saw Jim there.
"I have to talk to you about the court" He said. I nod and let him in, he sits down on the couch.

"Do you want anything to drink? Whiskey?" I asked. He nods and I go serve the drinks.
I come back with them and give one to Jim.

"As you know I am a member now of the court" he said. "Ooh look at you making friends" I said.
"They have a shipment coming in it's from Indian Hill and they're gonna clear out Gotham for it," He said.

"Did they say if you were the weapon?" he asked. "I haven't had contact with the court ever since the incident" I said.
"But if they're clearing out Gotham it has to be something big," I said.
"I know that the court isn't going to tell you willingly Jim, and if you go looking into them they'll kill you" I said.
"Im willing to take that chance" He said.
