"Will she make it?" Bruce asked as he tore his eyes away from Becky and back to the doctor, "Come on Roger" he almost begged his friend for an answer, Roger sighed as he placed a hand on Bruce's shoulder.

"The Bullet went completely through her chest, just bypassing the heart" he paused, "She's in a comatose state right now…it's entirely up to her now" Roger looked back at Becky, "She's a healthy girl, short for her age but healthy" he removed him glasses.

"So it's a good chance?" Bruce asked, Roger said nothing as he placed his glasses back on and sighed, "I understand" Bruce said as he shifted his weight, "Sorry" he looked back at the girl in the hospital bed and back to Roger.

"I understand" Roger said as he began walking to the door but stopped and looked back at Bruce, "….In my opinion….I'd say she'd make it" he said as he let the door close behind him, Bruce smiled before pulling a chair up next to the bed.

He sent the others home a while ago Tim was badly shaken up by the thing he kept pacing the room not looking at Becky, Bruce could understand why he was the one who caught her…..he was the one covered in her blood.

Dick volunteered to drive him home in truth Dick was just as shaken up, the most he did was pat the comatose girl on the arm and kept his eyes on the window, Alfred stayed behind if memory served right he was in the gift shop.

Looking back at Becky he sighed and rested his face in his hands, She risked her life for Batman's….Him…..she could die because of him and he wasn't sure if he could put the suit back on if he lost another child.

The soft beats of the heart monitor was the only sound in the room, reaching over and gently grasping her hand Bruce closed his eyes hearing the sound of the door open he looked over his shoulder at Alfred, who was holding a stuffed bear with a 'Get well' card in his paw.

"How are we this evening, Master Bruce?" he asked as he placed the bear on the nightstand, "Doing well?" he asked as he pulled a chair next to the bed as well he looked over at the man and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Master Bruce" he said "…This is not your fault" he said gently, Bruce said nothing he let go of Becky's hand and stood up walking over to the large window resting his arm on the glass he looked over the city, Alfred looked over at Becky and smoothed out her blanket.

"It is my fault" Bruce spoke up not moving from the window, "If I would have taken him down…I could of too.." he sighed and looked down at his feet, "…I promised her I would protect her" he dropped his arm and watched as cars sped by.

'Master Bruce…" Alfred said, "Rebecca jumped in front of you because she knew…she knew that Gotham wouldn't make it without…The Batman" he said softly while looking at the girl, "The Joker wasn't aiming at your chest either…"

Bruce still stayed silent, So Alfred continued, "I know she'll make it out of this…I'm just glad that people believed our story" he looked up at Bruce, "Don't you agree?" he asked hoping it would pull at least a grunt out of the man.

"….I'm paying the GCPD a lot of money" Bruce laughed slightly "It's worth it though…they better stick to the story…" he muttered as he finally moved away from the window and stood at the foot of Becky's bed, he said noting.

"Just like Jason…" he muttered as he watched Becky's face, "He took her away like he did Jason"

"Master Bruce?"

"….And again it's because of me" he sighed again as he walked toward the door, "I'm going for a walk" he told Alfred as the door closed behind him.

Alfred sighed as he looked over at Becky and patted her on the arm, "I'm sorry this all happened to you" he spoke to her, "I know what you did you didn't do it to save Batman, you did it for Gotham" he grasped her arm and smiled.

"You knew without a hero like him your father would destroy the city along with the other masked villans" he sighed as he looked over her once again, "You knew the risks and now you're paying for them…" he let go of her arm.

"I'm sorry for that, a fourteen year old girl should not carry the weight you carry" he sighed and watched the heart monitor, "And as soon as you wake up you'll be starting a new life..a better one" That was true, in a way Rebecca Quinn was for a lack of better words dead.

But Rebecca Pennyworth was alive but in a freak accident, being shot while hiking with her Uncle Bruce Wayne, Bruce even went as far as to pay the GCPD millions of dollars to tell everyone that she had died.

"I just hope you can finally live a happy life" Alfred said again "A life where the Joker doesn't come looking for you…A life where your mother doesn't dress in a costume" he placed a hand on her head and smiled.

"A normal life"


"You okay Tim?" The two males had been siting in the living room since they got back from the hospital, Tim hadn't said a thing since then, Dick looked over at the teen and ran a hand through his hair thinking of what to say.

"Tim?" he asked again "Timothy Jackson" he teased knowing that he hated when people called him that, getting no reaction Dick flipped the TV off and looked at the teen, "Look at me" Dick told him as he said up.

"What?" Tim asked as he looked over at him, "What do you want me to say?" he stood up, "Want me to say that…that I'm fine?" he couldn't hide the shakiness of his voice, "Well?" he demanded angrily "What do you want me to say!"

"Tim…she will be alright.." Dick told him as he placed a hand on his shoulder, Tim shook it off and glared at him shaking his head.

"You didn't catch her" he growled, "You didn't see the blood coming out of her.." he looked down, "You didn't hear her try to talk…saying that she was cold.." he clenched his fist, he looked up at his brother.

"Dick…there was so much blood…" he said softly, "…I..I won't ever forget that.."

Dick stood up and wrapped his arms around him, "It's okay.." he told him "Everything will be alright…"
