[Alfred] My name is Alfred Pennyworth, and I have a story to tell.

For many years in the city of New Gotham

a secret war raged by night.

Unknown to the everyday world

a battle for the very heart of the city was waged

between Batman and Joker.

One night the final battle was fought and Joker lost.

Joker's revenge was taken not on Batman himself

but on the ones he loved.

Helena Kyle didn't know that her father was Batman

nor did she know that her mother had once been Catwoman.

And Catwoman was the Joker's first victim.

Mom? Ma, can you hear me? It's Helena.

Mom, you have to. You have to!

You have to hear me.

Mom..

[thunder rumbling]

Stop him!

Somebody stop him.

Somebody stop him!

Mom.. Mom.

Helena Kyle's life was forever changed that dark night

but the Joker's revenge wasn't finished.

Batman had trained many protegees over the years

and one of them was Barbara Gordon

who called herself Batgirl.

[thunder rumbling]

[shower running]

[thunder rumbling]

[gunshot]

[groans]

[bullet clinks]

Knock, knock.

[Joker] 'Who's there?'

Batgirl.

'Past tense.'

[Joker laughing]

[thunder rumbling]

[screams]

Dinah Lance was no more than a child

living far from New Gotham.

She was stabbed!

And the other one, he shot her. I saw her.

[sobbing] She fell down and the blood went on the floor and--

Hush, Dinah. Hush. It was just a dream.

We've talked about this.

Whatever you think you see, it's all your imagination.

None of it's real.

Are you listening to me, Dinah? You didn't see anything.

- Did you? - No, I didn't.

[Alfred] But Dinah knew her visions would become her future.

as Dinah arrives in New Gotham

to seek out her dreams and follow her destiny.

- Dinah. - See? Now you know someone.

To.

I'm running to.

Or at least I hope so.

There are a couple of people in New Gotham that I sort of knew.

Or knew about, anyway.

Um, it's hard to explain.

Well, do you think they're still in the city?

Mm, I don't really know what happened to them.

Barbara, right?

Yes. Uh..

The new guidance counselor, right?

Right. Wade Brixton. We met during orientation.

Never really got into Shakespeare.

"Hamlet," "Romeo and Juliet."

I mean, he's a glorious romantic

but, you know, lovers always end up dying.

Not the ideal way to finish a date.

Ah, well, maybe you should try the comedies.

People wandering around in disguises

mistaking each other's identity

only to find each other and live happily ever after.

- Does that sound better? - Definitely.

I'm a sucker for happy endings.

[both chuckling]

I-I, um, I could recommend a few of the plays

I, I bet you'd really like.

- That would be great. - Yeah, okay.

Could we do that over coffee?

With me. Together.

- The two of us? - Ah. Uh..

- Are you asking me on a date? - What if I say yes?

Um, would that get you to come?

- It might. - Well, then, yes.

Coffee, dinner, you name it.

Uh, wow, that, um, sounds great.

[pager beeping]

Sorry.

Wade, I have to go.

I'm sorry. Um, it's, it's kind of an emergency.

- Is everything okay? - Yeah. Yeah, nothing serious.

It's just something I need to take care of right now, so..

Okay, great. So you'll let me know.

Absolutely.

- Okay. - Yeah.

[dramatic music]

[keyboard keys clacking]

[Barbara] 'Huntress, it's Oracle. Do you copy?'

You've gone offline again, haven't you?

God, this is so like you.

It's a transceiver, not a Walkman.

[Barbara on radio] 'Huntress. Huntress.'

[Quinzel] 'You've been coming here for three months, Helena.'

You've barely said a word.

Talk-therapy works better when you actually speak.

Court sent me here for anger management, right?

Observe the managing.

I'm cured. You know, you're-you're a genius.

You sideswiped two cars, flattened a stop sign.

- Crushed a fire hydrant. - I was in a hurry.

And knocked out a security guard.

I shoved him to get him out of the way.

Barely even touched the guy.

And why exactly were you in such a hurry?

I don't know. I had things to do.

I understand that whatever it was seemed urgent to you.

No, you don't understand. You don't know me.

You don't know anything about me.

Let's just run the clock out here, call it good.

I do know that on this day seven years ago

you watched your mother die.

'And a few months later, Barbara Gordon became'

your legal guardian, and there's no mention of your father.

That's because at the time I didn't know who he was.

But you do now?

Bruce Wayne is my father.

Your father

is one of the wealthiest men in the country.

And you move in with a schoolteacher?

Wasn't exactly father knows best.

He didn't know he had a kid.

Clueless is a, uh, radical understatement.

Mm, sounds like your relationship with your father

is somewhat conflicted.

[scoffs] What relationship?

He didn't raise me. My mom did.

I miss her.

She..

She was funny

crazy and dangerous and..

In that one moment, she was, she was gone.

That's when everything changed.

I changed.

Into what?

Into someone maybe I wasn't meant to be.

[instrumental music]

♪ On a high on a high ♪♪

This is the, uh, address.

- Um, I'll see you tonight? - Okay.

Bye.

[sighs] It's gonna be different here.

- I know it. - 'No, no.'

No!

No!

[tires screeching]

[clamoring]

Don't move. Just lie still.

[male #1] You won't let them get me.

- Don't let them get me. - Who's trying to get you?

[rats squeaking]

- Come on! - I didn't know..

What was beneath, beneath Phoenix.

[rats squeaking]

[panting]

[sirens wailing]

[Dinah] I can't really describe him.

I-I never got a good look at his face.

So you say this guy didn't push the victim.

No, he wasn't anywhere near him.

- But.. - But what?

Miss, you saw something, didn't you?

Yeah. She saw a guy on a bench.

Come on, Mac.

[sighs]

Listen, if you think of anything else at all

and I mean anything

you can reach me at this number, okay?

Okay.

Goodnight.

[indistinct radio chatter]

- What? Start what? - Don't start.

"There's something prowling the night," that's what.

Of course not, this is just your basic normal-guy-freaks-out

throws-himself-in-front-of-a- speeding-vehicle-for-no-reason

case. Oh, it's totally routine.

Was that sarcasm? 'Cause you know I'm a sensitive man.

Seriously, Reese, you've gotta lay off "The Twilight Zone."

The guys are starting to talk.

McNally, you hear the same stories I do.

You see the same things we can't even begin to explain.

Freaks. Weirdoes. Urban myths.

Myths are just the truth a few generations later.

Come on, McNally. What are you so afraid of?

Being seen with you, getting carted off to the loony bin.

I'm gonna make you a list.

There's something going on in this city

after the sun goes down.

I intend to find out what it is.

♪ Can't move can't breathe it's getting dark ♪

♪ The beast has come to steal your heart so you better ♪♪

[Barbara] I've been calling for hours. Where have you been?

[Helena] That shrink thing, remember?

Being punished for destroying city property

while chasing your bad guy.

Yeah, well, you know, you could have gone

around the fire hydrant.

Doesn't it ever bother you?

We spend all our time trying to save the city

fighting crime lords and supervillains. For what?

Lousy hours, nonexistent pay

no recognition and traffic tickets?

That's the downside of having a secret identity.

The secrecy. Anyway, I need you to go on sweep tonight.

- There's been another death. - You mean another suicide.

No, it's murder, neither of these guys had any history

of psychological illness, no reason to even consider suicide.

Excuse me. Sorry.

I'm telling you, there's something wrong here.

- I can feel it. - Is your spider sense tingling?

Stop twitching and have a drink.

Could you maybe focus in for just one second?

I am focused, I'm focusing on why we do it

why do we even bother.

We do it because it's who we are.

My shift's over, anyway.

It might be good for me to go kick some ass.

[female #1] 'Hey, baby, you wanna go out?'

'You wanna go out, honey?'

[dramatic music]

[clattering]

[laughter]

[music continues]

[gasps] Oh.

God. Well, you scared me.

Um, I thought you were, you know..

Dangerous?

Um, well, it's kind of a weird place to have a party.

One thing to learn about New Gotham, Dinah

things are never what they seem.

[Dinah screaming]

Ah, come on, don't be scared, Dinah.

[groans]

[panting]

The lady isn't interested.

[Jerry grunting]

I was hoping you'd say something like that.

[grunting]

[groaning]

[clatters]

Who the hell are you?

I'm the Huntress, and you're the prey.

[groans]

Warmed up yet?

Ah..

I hate a man with no endurance.

Really, what's the point?

You can just say thank you. It wasn't that spectacular.

No. It's..

It's you. I saw you in my dream. I..

[Helena] Mom.

You're really real.

Kid, y-you should go home.

Wait, where can I find you?

It's late, there's a shelter on Durbin

a few blocks south.

You should get off the streets.

No, wait.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

I'm telling you, the word on the street is that these deaths

are your garden-variety goodbye, cruel world.

Is there anything to eat in here?

The way they did it, it's

it's almost as if they were running from something.

There's never any food in this place, gazillion dollars worth

of computer equipment, and not one jar of peanut butter.

This doesn't make any sense, I mean

'if I were gonna kill myself--'

You wouldn't.

- What? - Kill yourself. You wouldn't.

- Do you know how old these are? - Wait-wait, w-what do you mean?

- I-I wouldn't kill myself? - It's just not your nature.

I resent that, I'm as broody and

romantically self-destructive as the next girl.

Yeah, in a Let's-go-get- the-bad-guys, let-nothing-stand

in-the-path-of-the-mission sort of way.

You know, I'm the one that does all the night sweeps, I'm the

one that does all the fieldwork, I'm the one

with bruises in really embarrassing places.

Would it kill you to go to the grocery store

every once in a while?

What is this obsession with food?

You try fighting the forces of evil

when your blood sugar's low.

[alarm blaring]

Perimeter breach.

East side, near the elevator, sector two.

- I can't get a good visual. - I'm on it.

[alarm blaring]

[intense music]

[thuds]

[Barbara] 'What are we gonna do with her? She knows how to get in.'

'What if she knows who we are?'

We could kill her.

Look, we're the good guys. We don't kill innocent people.

- We don't kill anyone. - Speak for yourself.

And how did she find us, hm? Ah, she must have followed you.

- 'Nobody follows me.' - 'Well, she's here.'

[Barbara] 'I mean, this place is supposed to be a secret.'

'That's the whole point of a secret lair.'

It's not her fault.

I followed her. She didn't know.

[Barbara] How'd you get in here?

It's you.

[chuckles] I should have known you two would be together.

Look, uh..

Sometimes when I touch people, I see things.

Things that, um, that only they know.

And sometimes when I dream things..

...they come true.

[whirring]

[beeping]

So, um, what does this thing do exactly?

[Barbara] This machine will tell me if there's any biological evidence

of the abilities you say you have. In other words..

- If you're metahuman. - Meta-what?

In most people, less than 5% of their neural cells are active.

Your cerebral cortex activity is..

...over 50%.

So it's true. I'm officially a freak.

Hey, watch it with the F-word.

There are people in the world, Dinah, a lot of people

with abilities beyond what we think of as human.

Um, no two metahumans have the same gifts.

Don't ask me where the powers come from. No one knows.

Natural mutations, biological, uh, experiments.

There's been weird stuff in meteor showers.

The point is, you're one of a long line of people

who had to hide what they are.

So I'm like you?

Oh, like Helena, technically.

I'm not metahuman.

But you're both heroes and you save people.

Mm, right.

- I wanna join. - No.

- Why not? - Sorry.

We don't have an opening for Junior Supergirl.

You can't stay here. You have to go home.

Um, do you honestly think I'd get on a bus

and come to a city where I didn't know a soul

with no money and no job

if I had a place to go back to?

[chuckles]

I mean, I came to New Gotham looking for something

and I didn't even know what it was, but now I do.

Can I talk to you? Now?

You can't seriously be considering this.

A few hundred years ago, a girl like that

would've been burned at the stake.

Yeah. Well, she's freaking me out right now.

It's just one night. One.

I remember another girl with no place to go

who fell asleep on that couch.

[scoffs] I gotta go.

Helena, wait.

[instrumental music]

Morning, miss. Alfred Pennyworth.

How do you do?

I brought you an assortment of clothes in your size.

I trust you will find them adequate.

Thank you.

Perhaps a shower and change?

Sure.

How do you prefer your eggs?

[Dinah] 'Um, scrambled?'

I've restocked the refrigerator in your apartment.

It was rather alarmingly empty.

So I hear. Thanks, Alfred. You're a lifesaver.

No bother at all.

There's little enough to keep me busy at the manor.

I keep hoping that Ms. Helena will change her mind

and come live there.

After all, technically, it is her birthright.

She's not going to accept anything

connected with Wayne money.

I mean, I'm lucky she can handle the trust

paying for the equipment in here.

This time of year is always difficult.

Oh, I-I don't know what to do.

She just won't let me in.

- I meant for both of you. - Me?

[chuckles] Don't be ridiculous.

I am, I'm fine.

Dinah's a very gifted girl, if I'm not mistaken.

Quite interesting.

It's temporary.

You're being superior again.

Oh, perish the thought.

I mean, Helena's right. She can't stay with us.

This is no place for a kid.

And what would she do, anyway?

[Dinah] Are you investigating this?

Because I was there when he died, and it wasn't a suicide.

[dramatic music]

[traffic bustling]

[Helena] After my mother's death

I learned more than just my father's identity.

I learned he had a whole other life.

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean another family?

More like a really aggressive hobby.

- A dangerous one. - Uh, yeah.

[chuckles]

I guess a part of me

I blamed him for what happened to my mother.

And if Barbara hadn't taken me in--

Why did she do that?

I've known her since I was a kid.

She was just trying to help.

Human beings are essentially selfish creatures, Helena

no matter how we try and mask it to the world or ourselves.

You say Barbara rescued you.

Did she do that for you or for herself?

[Dinah] I couldn't tell the cops what I really saw.

That he was terrified of these imaginary rats?

Well, maybe it was.

I mean, i-it sounds like a tailor-made illusion

taken directly from the victim's subconscious.

What he feared most came after him.

Yeah, but what can make him see something

that wasn't even there?

Oh, a-a metahuman could.

[keyboard keys clacking]

[sighs] But there are no metahuman criminals in my database

with that ability. No.

He, um, he said something about a, a phoenix.

Fiery tail, rising from the ashes, that kind of phoenix?

Yeah, I know they're not real.

Phoenixes aren't real, are they?

Uh, not that I know of.

Okay, just checking.

Um, he said we wouldn't know what phoenix was for.

Like it wasn't an animal at all.

I wonder..

Let's see.

[keyboard keys clacking]

Phoenix Industries was formed in New Gotham a few months ago.

Yeah, looks like some kind of dummy corporation

for real-estate purchasing.

[keyboard keys clacking]

The old dockyards.

They bought every parcel, all of it.

- And that's bad because? - Uh, it isn't, necessarily.

I mean, you buy the land cheap, then rebuild

and you can make a fortune.

Or get complete access

to the infrastructure of New Gotham.

The sewers, the shipping lines

anything coming in and out of the city.

And you're not banking on the sunnier motivation, are you?

Let's just trace the tax filings to the actual owners.

Come on, come to mama.

[sighs] A four-man consortium owns Phoenix.

'And of the four owners, two are dead.'

Suicides.

[helicopter whirring]

[Helena] There are two potential victims left.

Why are you so sure I should protect this guy first?

The other guy's out of town. Not coming back until late tonight.

Our assassin's only killed in New Gotham so far.

[helicopter whirring]

- 'Are you in yet?' - Of course.

- Are you sure he's here? - Uh..

He ordered pizza on his credit card 40 minutes ago.

[Helena] Once again, big sister's watching.

[upbeat music]

[indistinct singing]

[helicopter whirring]

[gasps]

Okay. He's here.

[Barbara] 'Huntress, there's something coming through'

'on the police scanners.'

'You gotta get out of there.'

Freeze! Don't move.

Detective Reese, Gotham PD.

'You're not going anywhere.'

Okay, I really don't have time for this.

You're in the middle of a crime scene, lady. You'll make time.

You can see it's a suicide.

Yeah, seem to be a lot of those going around lately, huh?

You know, my colleagues, they think I'm crazy.

But I'm beginning to wonder if somebody isn't giving these vics

a little push.

You'd like this guy, he's got your paranoid turn of mind.

Excuse me? What was that?

I didn't say anything.

[Barbara] 'Neighbors reported sounds of a fight.'

'He must have been in the area'

'to have gotten there so fast.'

You still have a few minutes before the black-and-whites

show up. Just get out of there.

So you know this man?

He was dead when I got here.

Really?

Oh, so then the best you can say for yourself is

you were, uh, robbing a dead guy.

You're a detective. Detect.

What was I gonna do, strap a few paintings on my back

take the elevator?

I don't have the gear for a heist

and I don't have any weapons.

What did I do, come in here and chat him into hanging himself?

Even if I were to believe you, you still haven't answered

my question. What are you doing here?

Same thing you are. Just trying to save someone.

'Guess we were both a little too late.'

We're on the same side, Reese.

Now, wait just a minute.

I know what I'm doing. Back off.

Do you hear voices or something?

You have no idea.

Someone dropped the Hermez shooter off

at the precinct doorstep last week, right?

'And the Dorsett kidnapper?'

I practically gift-wrapped that one for you.

Who are you?

- I'm not your enemy. - What?

I'm supposed to believe you're a friend?

I didn't say that.

[clatters]

I hate locks.

- So you save people. - On good days.

Then why don't you carry any weapons?

I am the weapon.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

I can't believe you told him all that.

He chained me to a second-century Greek bronze.

Kind of classy.

Alright, there's a ticking clock on our last victim.

- Larry Ketterly. - The businessman?

I know him. He used to live on the same block as us.

Yeah, well, he's back in town.

We can only guard him for so long, we need to find out

who the assassin is and stop him for good.

Which means, check the dockyards.

- It's the only lead we have. - I can go to the dockyards.

You can't be in two places at once.

Okay, so you take the dockyards.

- And I'll guard Ketterly. - I could go to the dockyards.

No, I don't like you going to the field without backup.

You mean, without looking over my shoulder?

Let me go to the damn dockyards!

[chuckles]

[dramatic music]

So, uh, why don't I get cool jewelry like Huntress?

Because the cool jewelry costs more than a new car.

Like, Buick new or Mercedes?

- 'Ferrari.' - Ooh. Ha.

And it doesn't transmit 3-D images in infrared.

[mumbles]

Can we get started now?

Yeah, let's go.

[music continues]

- Oracle, do you copy? - Yeah, I'm here.

I'm at the house. He's home alone.

- Are you getting all this? - 'Yeah.'

[Dinah] 'It doesn't look like anyone's been here in years.'

No, not since..

Not for a very long time.

[Barbara on radio] 'Wait. Over there. Check in there.'

Okay.

That's gross.

- 'I've lost visual.' - 'Well, find him.'

[Barbara] 'We don't know how the assassin gets to his victims.'

'He could be in the house already.'

Who the hell are you?

Helena?

Hi, Mr. Ketterly.

Now, what exactly were you doing skulking around in my bushes?

Just wanted to drop by.

Lovely outfit.

Thank you. Going dancing later.

Little Helena Kyle.

[Barbara] 'See, I told you it would've been better if you'd just knock'

on the door, but, no, you had to be the stealthy queen.

[Helena] 'Knock and say what, "Superhero at your service?"'

Alright, well, you're in now, see if you can find out

what Phoenix was planning on doing with the dockyards.

- Are you two having a fight? - 'Dinah, mind on the mission.'

Right. Okay.

So, um, what exactly am I looking for?

[Barbara] 'I'll know it when you see it.'

[screams]

[clattering]

- Ah. - Dinah.

Dinah, do you copy?

Oh, yeah. I am fine.

Okay.

[mumbles]

[sighs]

Alright, go down that tunnel. Over to your right, that one.

I don't understand. None of this is on the map.

[bats screeching]

You've been here before, haven't you?

It was a long time ago.

Another life.

[Barbara] Before I was ever Oracle, I had another name

another identity, another self.

I used to work with a man, Helena's father.

He was Gotham's greatest champion.

And most people never even knew he existed.

The last time I ever fought at his side

was in this place.

We'd cornered the worst criminal Gotham had ever known

smashed his organization and hunted him down.

[crackling]

[thuds]

I know Batman could have killed the Joker.

But he didn't.

[thuds]

And his honor had a price.

The Joker got away from the police

only for a few hours..

...just long enough to send a man to kill Helena's mother

and to come for me himself.

Why?

I think the Joker wanted to drive Batman mad.

And maybe he did a little..

,,,because a few months later, he left.

'Left New Gotham'

his work..

...everything.

Even the daughter he never knew he had.

The idea for rebuilding the dockyards was mine, actually

but I didn't have the capital to buy the property up.

So I brought in partners, formed a consortium--

And then people started dying.

Oh, you know about that.

I keep telling myself it has to be coincidence.

Does it?

'Helena, is that why you're here? To protect me?'

It's okay, you can tell me the truth.

Barbara..

...someone's been here.

Okay.

This is beyond weird.

[Barbara] 'Oh, my God.'

'It's Ketterly.'

[Ketterly] You really wanna know what's under those dockyards, Helena?

A piece of Gotham's past, part of our history.

We lost a great leader.

But from the ashes where he fell, we're going to rise again

and we're going to build an empire

that will make the world tremble.

Or something like that.

I was always a little fuzzy on the details.

I'm more of a big-picture kind of guy.

But enough about me and my little plans.

It's time to tell me, Helena.

What are you afraid of?

[cup shatters]

[Barbara on radio] 'Helena.'

[engine revving]

She's not answering. Just get there as fast as you can.

[Dinah] 'I'm on my way.'

Helena, listen to me, concentrate on my voice

and it may interfere with whatever

auditory neural connection he's using.

[Ketterly] I'm surprised at you, Helena.

It doesn't usually take people this long to open up to me.

You have an exceptionally strong mind.

But we have time.

Helena, I know you want to tell me.

Go ahead.

'Let it out.'

She died.

I lost her.

I lose everyone.

To love someone

and to lose them..

...right in front of you.

[grunts]

Okay, you wanna fight bad guys

locked doors are gonna come up sometimes.

[glass shatters]

Ah..

Helena!

[groans]

What have we here?

Just another little girl. Oh.

[Barbara] Not exactly.

[groaning]

Helena, it's alright, we're here.

Let me take this.

Helena, listen to me. It's over.

No, it's not. You're too late.

[Ketterly] It doesn't matter what you do to me here.

Part of me stays in there with her.

'Where I've taken her, no one can follow.'

I can.

No, you can't.

She won't hear me. Not here.

But maybe she'll hear you.

[instrumental music]

Helena.

I couldn't protect her.

- You were just a kid. - No.

Heroes are supposed to save people.

I failed every person that ever needed me.

No.

You haven't failed me.

I chose this life

and-and all of the risks that came with it.

'You don't have to protect me, Helena. Do you understand?'

We, we have to protect each other.

I can't do this without you.

No..

[sighs]

[Ketterly] 'You don't belong here.'

You don't have any legs. You're not Batgirl anymore.

[intense music]

Neither do you.

[both grunting]

Ah..

[grunting]

[grunting]

[groans]

[Helena screams]

[glass shatters]

[music continues]

[Helena grunting]

Why bother, Helena?

Even if you kill me, you'll still be alone.

You'll always be alone.

Maybe, but it's my screwed-up life

and I'll decide when it's over.

[groaning]

[instrumental music]

Welcome back.

What's wrong with him?

He said that some part of his mind was in yours.

It may be that when you killed him in that world

'you destroyed it permanently.'

Yeah, well, oops.

[both chuckling]

[snaps fingers]

So what are we gonna do with him?

[thunder rumbling]

Somebody actually dropped him at the station with a bunch of

well, pretty bizarre evidence and..

Well, we can't be sure he isn't dangerous.

So that's why we brought him to you, Dr. Quinzel.

Oh, call me Harleen, detective, please.

Harleen.

I appreciate your time. I'll be in touch.

[beeping]

Well, Larry.

This really is quite the disappointment, isn't it?

I needed those documents, Larry.

I had a dream of New Gotham

and people writhing in pain, dying on the streets

and everything under my command.

You ruined my dream, Larry!

[sighs] At least temporarily.

What happened, Larry?

I wish you could tell me

because somebody stopped you

and that means somebody is trying to stop me.

Well, just goes to show

never send a businessman to do a psychopath's job.

[instrumental music]

[Helena] It just feels wrong.

No ticking bomb, no poison gas.

I mean, we usually save the city

from some apocalyptic bad-guy plan.

Yeah, well, this time we saved ourselves.

It's a nice change of pace.

Except, you know, that rah-rah, rebuild-the-empire speech

Ketterly gave me

he didn't say "I," he said "We."

I know.

[sighs]

She's really terrible at those.

I was worse when I started.

You know, if it wasn't for her, neither one of us

would be alive right now.

[clatters]

Yeah.

I know.

There are going to be ground rules.

I'll do it.

I haven't even said what they are yet.

I don't care, I mean

as long as I can stay.

I can stay, right?

She's not staying at my place.

As long as you go to school

and work on developing your skills

both mental and physical..

...then you can stay.

Cool!

[chuckling]

[whooshing]

[instrumental music]

Sometimes I close my eyes and I can almost feel it..

...what it was like to race across rooftops under the moon..

Cold, wet..

...and hell on your nails.

I guess I never really let go of who I was..

...before.

It's a hard thing to lose.

I can't ever be what you were.

Good.

'Just be yourself instead.'

You're way cooler than I ever was, anyway.

[chuckles]

I know.

♪ If you want to I can save you ♪

♪ I can take you away from here ♪

♪ So lonely inside so busy out there ♪

♪ And all you wanted was somebody who cared ♪♪
