John got out of the Tumbler that he had parked in front of the the old abandon ice cream factory. He walked through the doors and called out to Mr. Freeze and Harley. The place was silent as he opened the doors that lead to the room where he had found them before.
"I have news of your wife!" He shouted and not a second later Mr. Freeze showed up.
"What is it?" He asked glaring at John.
"I found her with Poison Ivy" John told him.
"Where are they? Is my wife okay?" Mr. Freeze asked.
John looked down shaking his head. He hated to tell Mr. Freeze that his wife was dead. He could tell that he loved her very much, like he loved Lily.
"I'm sorry Mr. Freeze, but there was a fire. I tried to save her, but I got there to late. She died along with Poison Ivy" John told him.
John watched Mr. Freeze dropped to his knees crying and shouting out his dead wife's name. It was strange seeing him do that. He was an evil man, who seemed very strong, but seeing him like that, it just was weird.
"I need your help, Mr. Freeze" John said after a few minutes.
Mr. Freeze looked up at John.
"My girlfriend is very sick. She has the same illness as your wife and I'm afraid that I might lose her soon" John began with tears coming to his eyes, "I need the cure"
"You love her, your girlfriend?" He asked and John nodded his head.
"Very much" He told her.
"Would you do anything for her?" Mr. Freeze asked him.
"That's why I'm here" John told him.
"Would you die for her?" Mr. Freeze asked and John nodded his head a second later.
He wouldn't think twice of it if it meant that it would save her.
"Okay then" Mr. Freeze said and took out a vial that he had in his suit, "Be careful with this. It's the last of the cure that I have"
John nodded his head and put the vial in his belt carefully.
"Thank you so much for this" John told him and Mr. Freeze nodded his head.
John was about to leave the room when everything began to shake.
"What was that?" John asked Mr. Freeze.
"It's the bombs! They're about to go off!" He said and hurried over to something.
"Can you stop it!?" John shouted at him.
"I can" Mr. Freeze said and looked at John, "Leave! I must do this alone!"
John nodded his head and ran out of the building. Once he was outside the place blew up tossing John a few feet away. He stood up seeing the place on fire and collapsing. John was about to go into the building when another explosion happened making him fall back to the ground. Seeing that he couldn't save Mr. Freeze he got into the Tumbler and drove quickly to the Penthouse.
He walked towards the bedroom and stopped seeing that Alfred was in there speaking to Lily who was sleeping still.
"I'm sorry this had to happen to you Lily. I wished I had done more to stop you from all of this. I had hoped that when you had decided to be Batgirl that something like this wouldn't happen. I don't want to bury another family member. Especially you. You're my little Lily" Alfred said with tears in his eyes as he held her hand.
John couldn't believe what he had heard Alfred just say. Lily was Batgirl! Why didn't she tell him? He shook the thoughts from his head. He had more important things to do at that moment. John walked into the room and cleared his throat. Alfred turned to him.
"Can I have speak to her?" John asked him.
Alfred nodded his head and kissed Lily on the forehead. He left the room and John took Alfred's place. He took his mask off and pulled out the vial.
"I got the cure, Lily. You wouldn't believe what trouble I had to go through to get it, but you're worth it" He told her, "I wouldn't know what to do if you were to die"
"B-burn the world" She muttered in her sleep.
John chuckled at that and pulled the cap of the vial off. He placed it to her lips and made her swallow it. He sat there hoping it would work. Around six o' clock Lily woke up wide awake. She stretched and smiled at John.
"How do you feel?" He asked her.
"Like I could go without sleep for a hundred years" She told him and frowned seeing that he was wearing his suit without the mask.
"Yeah, I know who you are. I over heard Alfred talking to you while you were asleep. Why didn't you tell me?" He asked her.
"Because I was afraid that you would get hurt or hate me for keeping it from you. I'm guessing you know about Penelope being Huntress?" She asked him and John shook his head.
"I should've known she was Huntress!" John said.
"Damn. I should watch my mouth!" Lily laughed.
The bedroom door opened and Alfred walked in with a smile on his face.
"Is that my little Lily laughing?" Alfred asked walking into the room.
"Yes it is Papa. I'm cured!" She told him getting out of her bed and hugging him.
"How?" Alfred asked her.
"I got the cure" John told him.
"Thank you, John" Alfred told him as he hugged his granddaughter happy that she was healthy.
