CHAPTER TWO: THE INMATES ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM

🦇

GOTHAM CITY, NJ — CLOCK TOWER

Inside a gothic Clock Tower is a luxurious penthouse that resides a certain brilliant green-eyed redhead who's currently making herself a hot cup of herbal tea. The rain falling from outside was getting louder as streaks of blue lightning dashed across the cloudy sky. Barbara was startled by the thunder and almost dropped her cup of tea onto the floor and looked out toward the Gothic city.

"Stay safe out there Mom and Dad," Barbara whispered to herself and took a sip of her herbal tea to calm down her nerves.

She had heard about the terrible fire in Blackgate earlier on the Gotham News Network and was relieved to hear that everything was under control thanks in part to the aid from her partners in crime Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. The former and current Robin respectfully. And speaking of the Boy Wonder she then hears a ring coming from her smartphone that's on her coffee table as the caller ID reads BOYFRIEND.

Barbara rolled her wheelchair over toward the alarming device when the wheelchair's footrest hit the coffee table by accident and nudged the smartphone off the coffee table and onto the floor.

"Damnit!" Barbara hissed.

The redhead adjusted her wheelchair and moved next to the space between the leather sofa and the coffee table. Unfortunately, she can't get her wheelchair closer to her smartphone and tries to lean forward and reach over for it. She grew frustrated as her black nail-polished fingers nudged the smartphone deeper underneath the leather sofa.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Barbara said groaning annoyed.

Beads of sweat gathered on her forehead as Barbara used all her strength and lifted the heavy sofa off the floor with one hand. Her muscles bulged out due to the heavy movement as she had knocked the sofa over.

"Yes! Come to Mama!"

Barbara tried again to lean forward and reach for her smartphone but to no avail as her wheelchair had hit the corner of the coffee table. The sudden stop from her wheelchair throws Barbara onto the floor and right next to her is the smartphone that's she has been causing her trouble.

Barbara sighed frustrated by the limitations of her disability and answered the phone call.

"Yes, Jason?" Barbara greeted hiding her negative emotions as best she could for now.
