Summary
“First, do no harm.”
In Gotham City, oaths are a luxury the living can’t afford. Dr. Elena Vance has spent her short career patching up the city’s broken pieces, but some things can’t be fixed with a suture. When a warehouse explosion leaves her brother in a coma, Elena knows exactly who to blame: the Red Hood.
She wanted justice. She wanted an apology. What she got was the man himself, bleeding out on her kitchen table with a dead man’s switch on his chest and a smirk that promised hell.
Elena is a doctor. She’s supposed to save lives. But looking at the man who destroyed hers, she realizes the hardest part isn't keeping him alive—it’s resisting the urge to be the one who finishes him off.
Or: The one where Elena has to save the man she hates, and Jason discovers that some scars go deeper than the ones on his skin.
