At The East Side Clinic

[lesliethompkins]

Among individuals aged 20 to 35, drug overdoses are the third leading cause of premature death in Gotham City. The statistics are even higher than average in the East End. Most of those who survive the ordeal continue to abuse despite the experience. The terrible cycle, once started, rarely sees a happy conclusion. These past two weeks have

Selina was on her way to Leslie's as it was and now she's very glad that she did. What the hell is going on in here?

"You can't run, worm! You will not hurt them anymore!" Bane couldn't follow through the small window so he was charging back out through the way he came.

[femme_du_chat]

"Bane!"

She doesn't yell at him but she can't help the startled exclamation. If there was someone she wasn't expecting to see, Bane was pretty high up on the list. Dropping down, she moves her weight over to one side. One leg remains out, in his way, looking to trip him.

If bane had been in his right state of mind, he could have easily avoided Selina's leg. In his current state however he had been so fixated on getting Isaac that he came tripped forward. Bane had enough instinct left to roll into a crouch position.

"No! You mustn't stop me! He will hurt the children! No more must die!" Bane looks frantically to pick up a trace of Isaacs.

Leslie stumbles out, unsteady on her feet. She spots Selina immediately. "Fear toxin," she warns her urgently. "I think he's chasing a man who just crawled out my office window."

"Antidote?"

Selina gets ready to flick her whip around bane's arm. She can't take him in a direct fight but there are things she can do.

[lesliethompkins]

"Keep him here as long as you can!"

She turns back the way she came and goes in search of the medicine she needs. Administering it might get interesting.

Bane turns to follow where he believes Isaacs to have gone when Selina's whip wraps around his arm.

"You're in league with Crane! You will not stop me!" Bane would normally try something with more finesse, but on instinct he simply pulls his arm back with all his strength.

[femme_du_chat]

"Bane! Get a hold of yourself!"

Selina slides forward along the ground, coming in low like a dancer as if she was going to slide through his legs. Except she's looking to take them from beneath him.

[i_am_bane]

"I'm..trying!" He says through clenched teeth. Bane's temporary rein on hi emotions allows Selina to be successful, sending the big man down. "You tricked me! I saw the dead! There must be no more!" He tries to get up.

[femme_du_chat]

"I haven't tricked you."

Selina's backing away from him. She knows she can't handle a one on one upload fight with this man. She's trying to keep him distracted, though.

Leslie rushes back with the antidote in hand and pulls up short. She has to wait for just the right moment to dive at her patient.

[i_am_bane]

Bane growls and holds his head. "Can't..must..." Bane has left his enormous back open due to his struggle to reign in his mind.

[femme_du_chat]

Selina slips in closer. It is dangerous but she wants his attention on her insteald of on Leslie. "Can't what?"

[i_am_bane]

"The..gas..had to..help..children." Bane focuses on the recollection, trying anything to to take his mind off the effects of the gas.

[lesliethompkins]

Leslie doesn't think she'll get a better opportunity. She hurries forward, delivering the antidote.

She can only hope and pray that he doesn't interpret it as an attack.
