"because he's my brother" she mumbled

"I get that but that still shouldn't be a reason for him to fight you." She shook her head and continued to work on the wound. "You know, they say we're all bad. That every villian in Gotham deserves some sort of punishment when the true villains of this world are the ones you don't hear about. Clouded over by the good that they've done."

She shook her head "like I said it doesn't matter it never will'

Jacks sighed "it will one day, then Gotham will see the mistakes they've made." She bandaged up the wound and moved on to the smaller cuts

"yeah when I'm in the asylum again" she muttered

Jacks flinched and shook her head "don't say that. No one's going to put anyone in an asylum."

"I will be if I don't pay my dues" she said

"You won't." She said sternly, looking up at Vanessa for a moment before looking back down at her work.

" if you say so" she said

"You can't be convicted if they can't catch you. She said softly, trying to lighten the mood a bit. "there, all done."

"There's a tracking device in my neck" she said

She sighed softly and found a small knife in one of Brink's drawers. "not for long

Her eyes widened " whoa whoa whoa"

SHe glared playfully at Vanessa "what? it's not like you can get hurt more."

"do not touch me with that knife" she said that

Jacks droped her playful teasing "Ness, i would never hurt you. But this isn't just about you going to the asylum. If authorities tracked you down to here, it's going to be all of us going to Arkham. My parents can't handle that again and swore to them that I would never let Brink step foot in there."

"Then I'll leave" she said going to pack her things

Jacks shook her head "you know Brink will find you again,"

"fine if you're going to get the chip out let Brink do it" she said

SHe pouted softly, her playfulness back "aw, don't trust me kitty? fine."

"I've been stabbed by my own mother I don't trust a lot of people but if you think it'll be easier you can do it" she said

She shook her head "If you feel more comfortable with him, we'll wait until he gets back." she set the knife down "sorry for scaring you, I didn't know that happened."

"it's fine no one has ever really loved me so being stabbed isn't anything" she said

She frowned softly, the expression looking foreign on her features. "well, now someone does love you."

She shrugged closing her eyes

"I wouldn't take that for granted Ness." she stood with the rest of the bandages and cotton balls and left her to rest.

She say down and sighed later that night it was storming horribly and brink still wasn't back and there was thunder and Vanessa was afraid of thunder so she was on the couch curled up with a blanket trembling terribly

Brink had stayed out well into the night, running along roof tops and visiting with old allies and friends asking for advise and chatting with them for a while. Late that night he stepped out into the rain, letting the cool rain splash on his form as he walked through the streets. The lightning illuminating features in bright whites and purples. He had always loved thunderstorms, their chaotic nature and sparatic bursts of thunder and lightning always sent a jolt through his body. He had always wondered what it would be like if he were struck by lightning. Shrugging, he opened the door to his home and pulled off the wet jacket, hanging it on a hook to let dry. he glanced down on the couch and rested his hand on Vanessa's head. "just a little rain kitty cat." he said softly, pushing his wet hair back from his face

She jumped as she felt someone touch her

Brink chuckled softly "Sorry kitty cat, i didn't mean to scare you." He settled next to her on the couch and pulled her into his lap.
