Kate's forehead was resting on the bed and she was asleep, holding her mother's hand protectively.

¨This is it¨ vanessa said as she got out of her car she was limping she said crashed earlier and smadhed her leg.

Harley slipped her arm around Vanessa's back to help support her leg and walked her to the house "brinks inside, he's doing fin."

Vanessa sighed ¨Thank you Mrs. Quin¨ she said.

Kate's forehead was resting on the bed and she was asleep, holding her mother's hand protectively.

Jay walked in quietly and stood by the wall.

After about a minute, Kate stirred and lifted her head sleepily. She blinked and became alert when she saw someone else in the room, but she admittedly relaxed a little when she saw it was only Jay. "Oh, hi. I didn't think you would come."

"didn't think I would come here either." He replied still leaning on the wall.

"Then why are you here? To mock me?" she spoke slowly, her words slurred with distinct fatigue.

"nah. Wanted to see if you were ok. And you seem to need sleep." He said then sat in a chair in the corner of the room.

Kate blinked rapidly a couple times and rubbed her eyes absently with her free hand. "I'm fine."

"you sure." He asked her and sighed.

She nodded, looking at Maria's calm expression. She looked like she could sit up and go on a mission with her at any second, but Kate knew that wasn't going to be happening.

Jay walked over then stood behind her. "You are not ok. Your facial expression clearly shows it."

"This isn't supposed to happen," Kate said, her voice cracking painfully. "She's supposed to be strong. Nothing–" Her throat closed around the words and for the first time in several years, Kate broke.

"she is ok right now. So calm down a bit." Jay said and kneeled down.

"Nothing is supposed to happen to her," she sobbed. "It isn't supposed to be like this."

"hey. She will be alright. You just have to wait until she wakes."

Kate pressed her lips together and nodded, pushing away the thoughts that insisted otherwise.

"now, if you really want to. I can let you punch me. If it cheers you up." He said smiling.

She looked at him and arched her eyebrows. "R-Really?" she asked, a small smile flickering across her face.

"yeah really." He said then stood up and took a step back.

Harley nodded and helped her up the stairs, "thank you, for what you did back there, helping brink and letting us escape. You didn't have to do that." She led her inside, sitting her next to Brink and left to grab some first aid supplies. "I'll go help your mother." Joker said with a nod to his son and a small smile towards Vanessa "brave kitty." He said before he left.
When he saw them leave, Brink stood up and sat next to Vanessa, grabbing her hand and sighing "you keep doing that, your going to lose your nine lives kitty"

"yeah really." He said then stood up and took a step back.

Kate hesitantly stood up, not letting go of Maria's hand. "You're sure?"
