Batman fired bat blades at the rope but they missed because the bus turned around the corner dragging Justice behind. Batman saw her body smashed on a parked car. He got on the bat motorbike he called Alfred. He speeded up and in seconds was catching on the bus and again he saw Justice, she was unconscious at that point. He fired a bat gun at the rope to break it and it finally broke.
-Alfred I need you to prepare a surgery room now. Be ready.
-Master Bruce I prepared it long time ago but I hoped we won't use it. Are you hurt badly?
-It's not for me, Alfred. But the injuries are severe. I'll be at bat cave in ten minutes.
He called his bat aero craft it should be there in couple minutes. Black cloak jumped from his bike and walked to the tortured body of a woman. Her back and left side were scratched off showing ribs and tissues, her right side was damaged internally probably broken ribs and her arms were out of joints loosely spread out to the sides. Justice looked as a broken doll when Batman picked her up and secured in his aero craft. She was loosing blood tremendously and Batman wasn't sure if she could make it to the bat cave but he would do his best to save her.
Flying over the city on a high speed the aero craft was far away when the explosion happened. The radar shown a small red dot for a split second and went stable again.
-Hospital. - thought Batman. He called Gordon but Captain didn't pick up the phone.
-Alfred, I'm at the cave. I need you to find Gordon dead or alive and get him on the line with me. Where is Lucius?
-We both here. - answered Alfred from the landing platform. He was holding a transport table for Justice. - I will find Gordon.
Save the city or save one life. Question which Bruce Wayne asked himself while frying his aero craft to the bat cave. He had to go back to the city to help people, to catch the bad guys, to make sure there were no more tragedies and distortions but could he? What of Justice who was on the edge of life and death right now.
-Should've got her to the hospital master Bruce. I'm not sure we are capable of stabilizing her. - Alfred was working on wounds as well as Lucius.
-I couldn't. Hospitals are overloaded and now that new explosion. Only four hospitals left in the city and they run low on supplies and stuff.
-We taking a great risk trying to save her. She may die Bruce. - Lucius was serious.
-I know. We do our best because a chance to die in the hospital even higher. Any news of Gordon.
-No, computer can't find him. His phone probably damaged. Also there is very little possibility that we can break that app, the security system is unbelievable and somebody put a lot of work in it.
-Not somebody… Evan did. Psychopath. He knew she helped me. He distracted me with only one possible thing, he knew I would help her and he drew me out of the hospital. - Bruce was working on the woman's arms joints talking to himself. - But why? Why he wanted me out. He could blow up the hospital with me and her and Gordon inside and put the end to it. But he didn't.
-He wanted something from the hospital building.
-What is it? - Bruce couldn't came out with any idea.
-When we done here I would like to check something. I think I have an idea why he wanted to destroy that particular hospital. - said Lucius while stitching wounds.
-You think she will recover? - asked Bruce after intense thirty minutes of work with a body.
-Well, master Bruce it's in her power now. We did all we could with what we had.
-Lucius, check that idea of yours and call me. I'm leaving. I need to find Gordon and see what else that evil guy has planned.
-Your lack of rest is going to catch up with you, sir. - said Alfred taking Justice out of the surgery room.
Batman didn't answer…He wasn't even in the room.
