Starla's POV:
I walked into Theo's building. I didn't see anyone and Tabitha was all dressed up. "What's going on?" I asked. "Theo has a meeting and I'm attending. Stay here with Barbara ok?" She replied. I nodded and she walked out. I walked to the end of the hall to the treasure room. There were all kinds of things inside. I found gold and stuffed it in my bag. There were diamonds and I put them in there as well as a few emeralds and rubies. I walked out of the room and went to the one Jerome and I shared. I grabbed another bag and stuffed all of our stuff and put it in one bag. I looked at our room and sighed. I grabbed a piece of paper and began to write a note to my sister.
                          
Dear Barbara, I'm leaving. There is nothing here for me anymore. Theo ruined my life. I miss Jerome so much that I can't stand to be here in this building any longer. I need to go and have a life somewhere. I'll dye my hair and change my name. Nobody will find me or you. I hope you don't hate me for this. I love you and thank you for this experience. I'll have a better life somewhere else. Gotham will always be my home but I need to go away from here. This is my goodbye to you. Goodbye.
                          
I set it on the table and I walked out of Theo's building. I began to walk to Selina's place. I walked in and she wasn't there. I put my bags at the front and laid down on the bed. I then fell asleep.

"Hey wake up." I heard Selina. "I got the serum now come on!" She said. We began to walk to the GCPD. We snuck in through the back door and there stood Jim. "I can't believe you want this psycho back." He said. I sighed and Selina said "stop Jim. It's not like they'll be staying here anyway." I looked down and Selina said "give it to me Jim." He said "hang on. Let me see if the coast is clear." He walked down the hall and Selina said "you have my jewels?" "They're at you're place. I left them there." I replied. She nodded and Jim said "come on. This way." He led us to the morgue where Jerome was. His body was in one of those drawers. Selina opened it up and said "do it." Jim sighed and stuck the needle in Jerome's chest. He pushed the serum in his body. He took it out and I waited anxiously. Selina sighed and then his heart began to beat. He sat up and gasped for air. He coughed and said "where am I?" "The morgue." Selina said. "Huh? Why?" He asked. "You were dead." Jim said. "Jim Gordon?" He asked. "Yes?" Jim asked. "Did you kill me? Did you kill me because I wanted to kill Bruce Wayne?" Jerome asked. He cackled like a maniac and I'll be honest. I missed his cackle. I began to cry and he rubbed his eyes from the lights. Selina left the little lamp desk on and turned out the big lights. Jerome sat up and coughed. He looked at Selina and said "who are you?" "Doesn't matter. I had to help her." She replied. She pointed at me and Jerome rubbed his eyes again. He looked at me and said "I know you from somewhere. Who are you?" "I'm Starla. Starla Kean. You're girlfriend." I said. Jerome furrowed his eyebrows together and said "I have a girlfriend?" I nodded and he said "and it's you?" "Yes." I replied. "How come I can't remember you?" Jerome asked. "You said it would work Jim!" I said. Selina said "Jim if this doesn't work then I made her steal stuff for nothing." "You stole something?!" Jim asked. Selina said "oh damn." "Wait what?" Jerome asked. I said "Jerome listen......we met at Arkham and you came and protected me from greenwood. You kissed me there and then we torched cheerleaders and we threw people off the Gotham Gazette. And we killed you're father." Jim groaned and Selina said "hush! She's trying to help him remember." Jerome furrowed his eyebrows again and all of a sudden he clapped. Jim jumped and Jerome said "doll?" I gasped and said "mad hatter?" He smirked and said "Alice." He went to stand up and I said "you're not dressed babe." He rolled his eyes and Jim said "I'll stand outside." Selina said "my work here is done." She went to leave and I said "Selina?" "Yeah?" She asked. I ran over and hugged her. "Thank you! Thank you!" I said. "You're welcome. I'll see ya." She said. She left and Jim stood outside. I gave Jerome some clothes and he got dressed. I stared at him and he said "what?" "I missed you Jerome." I said crying. "Oh no. Shh." Jerome cooed. He walked over and he hugged me. I clung to him and didn't want to ever let go. He said "kiss me doll." I pressed my lips to his. Our lips moved in sync and we pulled away for a breath. Jerome sighed and said "how long have I been gone?" "About 3 days I think. Or maybe 2? I'm not sure." I replied. Jerome said "all I remember was the pain. And you're crying. I choked and couldn't breathe. There was no air whatsoever. And the pain. It was nothing like I imagined. The worst part was you crying over me." I cried into his chest and he said "I'm so sorry. I tried to fight it but I couldn't." "I tried to kill myself so I could be with you." I replied. "That's not the answer doll." He said. Jim poked his head in and said "are ya guys done? I'll get fired if they see you!" "Wanna go?" I asked. "Let's go." Jerome said. We then walked out of the morgue and headed to the train station. I used some of the jewels to pay for tickets. Jerome and I rode until the end of the line. We were in some random place. "Do you wanna find somewhere to stay?" I asked. Jerome nodded and we looked for somewhere to stay. We found a hotel and stayed there for the night. I laid down on the bed and said "I'm so glad you're back." Jerome kissed me and said "I'm sorry I left." "Jerome do you remember what you said to me before the magic show?" I asked. "I said that I was going to demolish you." Jerome replied. I giggled and said "demolish me mad hatter." "Anytime Alice." He said. I giggled again and I knew that I would finally have my life back on track. The love of my life was back and I was the happiest person in the world.
