2 Months Later
Much hadn't changed at Grant High. There had been several investigations and questioning of the students regarding the Joker. Aside from that everything was as it had been. The news of Jeff's recovery had spread throughout the school and everyone was waiting in anticpation for his return. Several of the students including Amy, Ben, and Jack had prepared a welcome back party. There was cake in cafeteria and balloons.
A black car pulled up to the front of the school. Exiting from it was a tall fellow with short trimmed hair. His garments were comprised of black and blue. Upon his neck shined a golden cross. When Jeff saw the school, he smiled. It was nice to be back again, to be able to continue his studies and hopefully help some people at the same time. Jeff had reflected on during his recovery the failure of the Joker, the inability to help him.
However he wasn't going to lute one failure stop him from doing what he did best. He was going to move on.
Jeff made his way into the halls of school were he found Ben and Amy. They saw him and quickly headed for the cafeteria. The hallway was practically empty and the bell hadn’t rung. Jeff made his way to cafeteria. There he was greeted by friends and acquaintances. Jack approached Jeff frist, he had visited him several times at hospital and was reliefed to see him back.
Next Amy and Ben approached Jeff.
Ben: You don't know how greatful I am for what you did.
Me: What I did?
Ben: Yeah.. you know.. for saving my life.
Me: Oh that... truthfully all I was doing was trying to stop a fight.. Ben.. I didn't know he was going to pull a knife on me.
What Jeff said wasn't the full truth, during that moment when the adrenaline was pumping in his viens he had caught in corner of his eye the blade of the knife. He had put himself between Ben and the Joker on purpose, so that Ben wouldn't be hurt. However he kept this a secret, he did not desire gratification or being labled a hero, he just did what he thought was best.
Ben: Well regardless.. I owe you my life.
Amy came close to Jeff and kissed him on the cheek.
Amy: I thank you Jeff.. for what you did.. for saving my Ben.. even if as you say you didn't know the danger.
Me: Well.. I'm flattered.. I am just glad you are safe and that hopefully things can get back to normal around here.
Everyone had slice of cake and a scoop of ice cream. When they were done they all headed to their classes. When Jeff walked through the halls he smiled, it was great to be back again.
