OSWALD WASN'T TOO thrilled with the impact the ginger manic had made the night of his death. But he wasn't completely heartless in the sense that when Skylar came back, looking dead, he was quick to help her by ordering someone to bring her a glass of water and asking if she needed to call anyone. She didn't even respond. Barbara was too caught up with Theo's plan that when her daughter walked right out the front door, no one saw her. Cat wasn't there so she only assumed that she was in the streets somewhere. So she was alone, lying in the guest bedroom on her back, her eyes trained on the ceiling.

Theo killed Jerome, her brother, her best friend. Barbara had the audacity to stay with him. Jim hadn't apologized because he was worried about Bruce. Bruce was in too much of a shock that she didn't bother sticking around to talk to him. Would he even want to? So she was alone in that room, the air thick as she breathed heavily, not a single tear on her face. It was almost as if she were waiting to wake up. Was this a nightmare? It had to be, he couldn't be dead. He was alive. He had to be.

After lying there for a good three hours, something triggered and Skylar gasped, the realization hitting her. She stood up shakily and moved to the wooden floor. But her body couldn't hold her so she fell to the ground. And then, and only then did she finally react. Oswald heard the scream of anguish that came from the bedroom. Everyone who was in the meeting looked at each other, none of them understanding. The King of Gotham sighed and put them back on track.

Skylar sobbed loudly, hitting the floor with her hands as she moved to lie down. It was all because of Theo. Theo Galavan. The name repeated in her head over and over again. But you see, this was the only time the Valeska cried for her brother. After the tears were gone again, instead of numbness following, she was filled with anger at the man who killed Jerome. She was going to bring him down. And then she recalled Tabitha's words. This was her spark and she was going to use it and burn Theo to the ground.

Oswald would love the information considering that he was the King of Gotham, not Galavan. Skylar wiped her tears and stood up, walking out of the room with a new aura. No longer would she let people walk all over her. The time for that was over. Skylar Gordon was dead. Skylar Valeska was alive. The male looked up at her when she entered, seeing her coming toward him. All of his visitors had left, the meeting long over. "Skylar-"
