Chapter 25: Departures

*Hospital, Charm City*

I entered the hospital, asked where West's room was and went there.

"Mr. Wayne, it's good to see you." He told me.

"It's good to see you too, West." I told him.

I grabbed a chair and got closer to West.

"Listen, West, I'm sorry to tell you this, but-" He interrupted me by saying, "Don't worry, Mr. Wayne, I already called my family and they are on their way. Plus, I used the experimental weapon that Lucius gave me, but don't worry I managed to convince everyone that it was harmless for humans."

I laughed a little bit and said, "I don't know how you do that, West."

He also laughed, then stop and asked me, "How much time do I have left?"

"Not a lot. I'm sorry." I told him.

"Don't worry about it, Mr. Wayne." He told me, then sighed and continued, "But, I would like you to tell this people goodbye for me and to tell them that I'm sorry that I couldn't tell it to them myself."

He handed me a list with names on it. I began reading the names out loud, "Julie, Burt, Lynda, Tim, Michael, Bruce, Paul, Eric, Alan, Andrea, Kevin, Nolan, Bale, Zack, Joss, Ben, Henry, Gal, and the entire team of Wayne Security."

"You missed three names." He said.

"Yes, Joel and Clooney." I told him.

"And, the other one?" He asked me.

I quickly looked at the cameras, but he told me, "Don't worry the cameras won't record this, I made sure of it."

"The entire Bat-family." I said, then looked at him and told him, " You're also part of the family, West. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here. Even though it cost you a lot… I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry. In the end, it all turned all right." He told me.

"I guess it did." I said.

I looked at him and saw that he was slipping away.

"It was a great run, old chum." He told me.

"Yes, it was, West. Thank you for everything, Bright Knight." I told him.

He smiled at me as he left this world.

Author's Note

This is in dedication to Adam West, may he rest in peace.
