In the now hospital room of one Miss Tanner.

She lies on the bed full of wires and attachments that it's hard to even tell that there is a girl in the mess. She breathes through one of the clear masks and is just waking up from two weeks in a coma.

Hope blinks multiple times, trying to get the sleep out of her eyes and adjust to the sudden brightness of the room. "Wh-where am I?"

"You're in Wayne Manor Miss Tanner," Alfred says. He steps over to the side of the bed. "You were in an accident with Bane and were immediately brought here by Batman for care. But you were in much worse condition than what an accident could do." He paused, seeing if she would say anything. "You've been sick for some time now, haven't you Miss Tanner? Even before the accident?"

She stared at him for a moment. "Where is Bane?"

Alfred was slightly surprised by her question. "Why do you care to know?" He gave her a quizzical look.

Completely serious, "That kidnapping was planned out. I didn't want to leave to die. I wanted to leave in a way of living-adrenaline, fun, and entertaining. He was taking me away from this horrid city. He was taking me away to die in peace…"

Alfred rubbed his hand down his face, sighing loudly, "Kids nowadays…" Hope smirked, "I'm sorry for the trouble I caused, I just wanted to have a last bit of fun before I became immobile."

He glanced up at her, his eyes saddened. "I'm sorry to say Miss Tanner, but…you can't walk."

She looked down at her legs, willing them to move to no avail. Finally, she just gave up. "The first of many to come. It'll start with my legs, then to my bladder, then to my stomach, lungs, and finally heart. "

"You seem…happy?"

She smiled at him through the mask. "It would be much worse if I had been sad about it the whole time. Happiness gives me extra hope that maybe I can prolong my life, maybe I can do something more."

Hope sucked in a pained breath, gripping her stomach. She grabbed onto Alfred's arm before he could help. Through a painful smile, "No… I'll be fine…" The pain settled and she relaxed, looking over at him with a kind smile. "Is there any way I could see Bane?"

Alfred simply nodded.

That night.

Hope curled on her side, clenching her stomach painfully, tears escaping down her cheeks. She laid quietly in the makeshift hospital room, bearing the pain to herself. She had little hope of surviving through the night she could feel her organs failing her, painfully so.

A knock came at the door and they opened. She rolled onto her back, acting as if she were okay. "Alfred?"

"Hope?" A muffled accented voice asked. His hulking figure walked into the room and over to the side of the bed. He kneeled down to her height, looking her in the eyes. "You do not look well." He pulled hair off of her sweating forehead.

She rolled back on her side to look at him. "I'm better now."

Bane smiled under his mask but it quickly disappeared. Hope curled into a ball, holding her stomach tightly. He reached out and grabbed her hand, squeezing it lightly. She gave him a forced smile.

Lights danced on the ceiling in a way that looked like stars. Hope smiled brightly, looking to the door to see who had turned them on. A man stood against the door, dressed fancily but was very handsome himself. Alfred and another walked up to the door, staring in. "We were told that you wanted to go to the stars."

She nodded, crying happily. She looked at Bane. She grabbed his head and pulled him closer, kissing his mask and forehead. "You are an amazing man Bane."

"Come now you two," Alfred ordered softly. "Give them their time."

"Lay with me?" She asked.

Bane stood, walking to the other side and laying on the covers. Hope moved and curled up by his side. She held his hand on his stomach, clenching whenever extreme pain swept through her.

"I'm sorry I'm leaving you," She said quietly.

"You will see me again." He stated.

She smiled, that was the right answer.

Her grip tightened angrily and then became lax.

Bane stared at the ceiling, a tear rolling down his cheek. He put his head on hers as if to kiss her, "Goodbye my Hope."

OMG! Sorry that took so long to get done! I love it yet hate it because I am terrible at sad stuff just because I don't like writing sad stuff because I don't like sad parts. But I hope it was good and well sad, a teared up a little myself!

Tell me what you think!
