Hope for the best, expect the worst. It's one of the many valuable lessons Leslie has learned over the years. Taught by her father, reinforced by experience.

A week later, there are three patients in residence. Black Mask has had his revenge. Leslie and a select few are left to pick up the pieces.

"Tell the Prat too, he'll probably suspect me of doin' somethin' off colour while I was here." He chuckled through the cloud of smoke and tipped a finger of his forhead like he was tipping a hat at her.

"Evenin' Sunshine, look after Selena."

"I intend to, dear," she states dispassionately.

A second later, she disappears back into the clinic.
