Act Three: Chapter XI: Double Trouble
Amadeus: I had a sudden pang of conscience. I sought counsel from my priest on the choices I had made. I asked him if it was a sin to kill in order to save a life. The holy man said all life was sacred, but a judgment would not be upon my soul if I acted to save another. I left the confessional with my soul uplifted, convinced more than ever I am doing a service not only to mankind, but to God as well.
I watched in silence as he brought in the woman. Her skin now a venomous green, the wanton creature no longer looked like a human being, much less a woman. The Bible says, "Suffer not a witch to live," yet he has once again delivered this atrocity to our care. Once I have dealt with the monster, I think it will be time to see if green wood does, in fact, burn.

There was a restaurant in Washington as Jack was sitting by the table and saw some civilians entering the restaurant while others were ordering their meals. He continued looking around as he was fixing his hair.
Jack pulled his phone out and looked at the time as it was eight fifteen p.m. Ryan put his phone back in his pocket and continued looking around until he heard someone calling his name as he turned around and saw who it was.
???: [Smiles] You look adorable.
Jack was blushing as Sharon smiled at him and sat down as both of them were looking at each other and continued talking.
Sharon: How is everything going for you since the battle?
Jack was silent as Sharon was staring at him until he said something to her.
Jack: Regardless of what has happened. I'm ready to move on and start a new beginning for myself.
Sharon: That's good to hear. Remember your not alone in this path. I'm here for you, Jack.
Jack had a small smile on his face as he felt his heart beating fast and was staring at Carter who was also smiling at him.
They continued talking to each other as the waiter walked towards them and both of them ordered their meals as the waiter nodded and walked away. Sharon and Jack were looking around the restaurant until Carter had a small smile on her face and said something to him.
Sharon: Hey Jack. Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon?
Jack: No. What about it?
Sharon: [Smiles] I heard the food was good but it had no atmosphere.
Jack let out a chuckle as Sharon smiled at him until Ryan said something to her as she was listening to him.
Jack: I don't trust stairs.
Sharon: Wait why?
Jack: Because they're always up to something.
Sharon began laughing as Jack had a small smile on his face and Carter said something to him as he was listening to her.
Sharon: I have another one. I made a pun about the wind but it blows.
Jack: [Chuckles] That was a good one. What washes up on tiny beaches? Microwaves.
Sharon was laughing as Jack had a small smile on his face and looked at her. He loved her smile and her laughter, he continued smiling at her as both of them saw the waiter bringing their food towards the table and gave it to them.
They both began eating their food as they were looking at each other. Soon they were done with their meal as Sharon and Jack were eating dessert as they were thinking about something.
Ever since Jack joined SHIELD and met Sharon. Over the years, they formed a strong bond. Whenever she was around him, he would be calm and happy. When he was suffering from nightmares that were plaguing him. She would be by his side all the time and comfort him. He couldn't deny it but he was in love with Sharon. However he was worried she didn't have the same feelings as him.
Unknown to him, Sharon also shares the same feelings for him. Ever since she met Jack. Their bond immediately grew strong and she was always there for him. Whenever she was hurt, Jack would take care of her and even protect her. They would even spend time together whenever they don't have any missions and would crack jokes to make each other smile. Sharon was in love with Jack but she was also worried that he didn't share the same feelings as her.
Both of them continued staring at each other until they began talking.
Jack: Sharon. . . . . There's something I want to tell you.
Sharon was staring at him as Ryan continued speaking to her.
Jack: Ever since I met you. . . . . You made my heart so happy. . . . Whenever I'm asleep, I keep thinking about you. You are like a light in the middle of the darkest night.
Sharon had a huge smile on her face as Jack continued speaking to her.
Jack: Your like an angel who healed my wounds. My heart which was once full of sadness and anger but now it is full of pure love.
Sharon had tears in her eyes as Jack said something to her.
Jack: Sharon. . . . . I love you.
Sharon immediately hugged Jack and kissed him as he kissed her back and both of them looked at each other in the eye until Carter said something to him.
Sharon: I have vowed to be with you since the day I met you. I love you, Jack. . . . . You are the only one for me; you are my everything.
Jack smiled at her and kissed her forehead as Sharon smiled at him and kissed his cheek as both of them continued hugging each other.
Soon they left the restaurant holding hands until both of them received a mission alert as they spoke to each other.
Jack: We gotta go now.
Sharon: Right. [Smiles] After the mission. Wanna watch some movies?
Jack: [Smiles] Anything for you, love.
Both of them smiled at each other as they began making their way towards the headquarters while holding each others hands.

Alex was breathing heavily as he contacted Natasha and spoke to her.
Alex: Nat, I destroyed the Titan production facility but Joker escaped with enough to cause us real problems.
Natasha: [On Radio] Great. Just more problems we need.
Alex: Yeah. They've been using a venom plant hybrid to create the titan strain. The plants the key and there is only one person on Arkham Island who can help us.
Natasha: [On Radio] And what makes you think Poison Ivy is gonna help us?
Alex: If her plants are at risk. She'll listen. I got her pheromone signature on record. She'll be somewhere in the gardens. I'll track her down.
Natasha nodded as Alex used the remote hacking device to get the security gate opened and left the laboratory as he was now looking for Poison Ivy.
