"We'll take care of her," Gail told me as I placed Chasity on a bed. We made our way to Old Town before the police showed up. Joker was heavily sedated and tied up in a locked room with Miho on guard duty while I called the federal agents one last time. They arrived shortly and took him. I wanted to go along with them but I couldn't leave Chasity. I had to make sure she was okay. The amateur surgeons in Old Town were impressive, I have to admit. They kept her stable while I went to work. I used Anderson's DNA and the sparse lab equipment I had brought with me from Gotham. Her bloodpressure dropped and she was fast asleep once I injected her. I stayed by her bedside that night.
"You don't have to stay here" McCarthy informed me,"You got your men."
"From what I understand, you don't have to stay here, either," I told him.
He made an understanding nod. I never knew his whole story. There was never any reason to ask, nor was there a reason for him to tell me. He stayed for the same reason I stayed. That much was certain.
In the morning, I saw a pair of beautiful blue eyes opening. Chasity smiled. "I can't remember much of what happen," she told me, "But I know I need to thank you." "Let's get you something to eat," Gail said as she disappeared with one of the girls. McCarthy disappeared some time that morning without telling anyone. Gail seemed upset. Chasity was on her feet that afternoon. I watched as she packed her bags, ready to leave Basin for somewhere better. Obviously, I didn't stay around to say my goodbyes anymore than McCarthy did. I turned to leave and noticed Miho standing behind me. We nodded to each other with an inexplicable sense of comradre between us and I was gone.
I returned to Gotham and paid a visit to Arkham to make sure the inmates were still there. Gordon welcomed me back and filled me in on a new case. He told me that the city wasn't the same without me. He told me Gotham needs me. Do I really make a difference? Perhaps. Perhaps not. What matters is that I do what is needed. In a city like this, even if only one single person cares, it's all that matters.
