Hopefully, this story's ending will make more sense after you get all the details on what happened. It's hard to end a story in a shocking way that you can't describe...oh well. But here is a real quick disclaimer:

The characters Dr. Gregory House and Dr. Eric Foreman are from the show House and that happens to be owned by David Shore (I think) and all of the Jak and Daxter stuff is owned by Naughty Dog (How I wish I was them).

Anyway on with "Our Love Can Never Be" and part 2 of 2 for the finale!

---- Jak sat there staring at her lying in the hospital bed. Her room consisted of the bed she was lying, in a brown table, and a few chairs scattered about the room, and a TV which they always left on. He gazed at her. She looked so peaceful, yet at the same time she was dying. Jak tried to remember all of the wonderful times they had together, but everytime he saw her he wondered if it would ever be like that again.

Torn had sent Jak to the hospital to check on an Underground member that was critically injured and critically important to the war efforts against the Baron. While Jak was seeking out the person that Torn described, he found Keira. He checked with the nurses to be sure that he wasn't seeing things...and he wasn't, it was her for sure. Now he found himself sitting in a room, watching her lie there. He waited for a doctor to explain what was wrong. Suddenly, Jak heard the glass door slide open.

A man entered. He appeared to be supporting a bum leg with his cane. He also looked to be about in his thirties. He had odd grey-blue eyes and short cut brown hair. But judging by the look on his face, he didn't appear to be a happy person. "Well, I'm Dr. Gregory House and ----"

"I'm Jak."

"I don't care who you are. Plus, I'm missing my lunch break. So, let's hurry this up." Jak furrowed his brow and House continued. "I lead a special disease team that specializes in solving medical anomalies. Currently, Keira is in a coma and has been in one for a little more than two years and----" House looked at the other doctor that had entered the room. He was tall, black, and appeared to be in his late twenties. "Foreman!" House exclaimed. "Now you can take over...I'm late for my lunch break." House excited.

Jak stared for a moment, a confused look on his face. "Sorry about House." The doctor said. "He can be a real ass. Anyhow, I'm Dr. Eric Foreman. I'm the neurologist. and you are?"

"Jak."

"Alright then. "Foreman said. "Well Jak, she has a serious condition. She's been in a come for a little over two years. Let me start start at the beginning. When the EMTs (Emergency Medical Transport team) first found her, she appeared to have landed really hard on her head. She was lying in an area of the water slums. At the time, she only appeared to be in a slight coma. Something she could easily wake from. So, as the ambulence transported her they got caught in an accident. They careened into a pole and slipped a few doctors and Keira into the water. Eventually, when she got to the hospital, her lungs were filled with water. We expelled that water and during the time she was temporarily dead, but when we revived her she was in an extremely deep comatose state." (anyone remember the prologue where she died by water and was reborn) Foreman finished and allowed Jak to take everything in.

"Could you explain a bit more about this coma..." Jak's voice was solumn. "and this condition you mentioned earlier."

"She has a serious disease accociated with the coma known as Inverse Comatose Dysfunction or ICD. What that means is that her brain is reading everything backwards. Her mind is registering being in a coma as being alive and coming out of the coma as dying, when it should be the other way around-----"

House made his way through the door and cut off Foreman, "But there is one small catch to this disease."

"What?" Despair plagued Jak's voice.

House took in a deep breath. "While in this coma stated with ICD her mind creates hallucinations. She can create any reality in her head, make anything happen, be anything she wants to be. She can still hear background noise, like that TV running, and add the people from, say, on the news to her hallucinations. People like Erol and Ashelin, or people from her past. She can bring her worse fears to life, or create the perfect reality. And since her mind is reading everything backwards, she is reading the hallucinations as actual reality. But this twisted 'reality' is affected by the state of her coma. The deeper the coma the better the hallucinations, but as she comes out of the coma she'll experience traumatic events in those hallucinations, even being hurt or death." House looked at Foreman. "This is such an interesting case, isn't it?"

"Not funny, House." Foreman shook his head.

"So, let me get this straight..." Jak said. "Right now, she is living some dream in her head and because her brain is screwed up, if she comes out of this coma she'll die?"

"Yup." House said. "But you have a choice to make. As you realize, she'll never be truely alive again. We can keep inducing comas and let her live in her 'dream world' or we can pull the plug." Jak buried his head in his hands. "Oh, come on!" House complained. "There are only two choices, pick one or should we draw out of a hat?" Fore man shot House a threatening glance.

Jak looked up angrily at House, "What kind of doctor are you? What the hell is your problem? You are a fucking jerk."

"I know." House seemed completelt unphased by Jak's comment. "So, what will you do?"

Jak sighed. "Keep inducing comas, I have to find her father." Jak stormed out of the hospital. Tears flooded his cerulean eyes.

---"Where are you going?" House asked Foreman who was walking off with a pissed off look.

"You are such an ass." Foreman replied.

"I know. But where are you going?" House followed Foreman, leaving Keira alone.

A dream. Nothing but a dream. A reality created where Catwoman could thrive. A reality that never truely existed and will only exist in the confines of Keira's mind. This is the mind of a coma patient and the world that she created, bringing her fears, worries, hopes, and fantasies to life. A world where Catwoman will rise again and Keira will live in a reality that isn't real.

Wow...this is the end of "Our Love Can Never Be". And the story does live up to it's title, because the will never be together. They are two worlds apart now. Quite the surprising ending, and really hard to write. It took a lot of time to perfect this so it made the most sense. Well, it appears that this entire story was based on the dreams and hallucinations of Keira as she was in a coma. That's right, all this time she was in a coma. I know, it probally seemed too real and flowed with the story too well, but it wouldn't have been a surprise it it was obvious in the beginning. I hope you enjoyed the story and thanks to all of my loyal readers and reviewers for keeping this story alive and sticking with Keira, all the way to the end.
