Batman Fainficton ( The Next Generation)

Chapter one: End of Arkham Orgians

The night seemed to be coming to an end, the mastermind behind it all was now strapped to a table in a dark room in Black gate prison. His mind running through the events that had just taken place as he waited their he kept searching for an answer. " Why?.. The one man he had planned to kill ended up saving his life in the end not once but twice". The door opens allowing outside light into the room, A young blond psychologist walked into the room " Welcome to black gate, we are just going to do a quick psychiatric evaluation. Bad day huh? Cops in this city always picking on the weak and defenceless She spoke while pulling a seat next to her patient, the man strapped to the table turned his head to her " Tell me something dear - have " you " ever had a really bad day?" He spoke as his mind slipped into his own personal thoughts of madness. " and what do you mean by that ?" " you of all people should know their - Nothing more CRUEL than MEMORY. The pointy, bitey little THUNDERBOLTS. Unwanted party crashers, SCREAMS through your synapses. Inescapable, unrealting .. not at all friendly. You can't even escape into MADNESS! And then you meet someone who changes your life - and you feel you don't even know who you are anymore. Isn't it funny how a little encounter can CLEAVE off little pieces of your past, DEFORM your memories and persona until you rethink your whole identity - and as your realize your how foolish if all is - your LAUGHTER reverberates off the walls of your own emptiness " Ohh Kaay... I'm going to need more specifics. How about we try word association " That sounds.. Delightful " Acceptance ." " now that is a little trite, Isn't it?" " Look i'm only doing this to help you. lets try again..Acceptance" " My favorite stage ."

As they continued to talk the young girl started to find herself being quite amused by his personality. By letting her guard down, she felt as though she was starting to break down the walls and start to get some real understanding of who he was and to try and get inside his mind. (Giggles) - " Okay. One more. I need you to be serious for this one. Fate" " You want to know something funny? I used to think of fate EVIL - Predetermined - not by some higher power but by rules of human NATURE. But tonight that all changed " What's changed?" Have you ever felt that your whole life has been building towards this one moment?" " Is that how you feel?" " Well now yes, now I realize that all of the BATTLES, the BAD DAYS, the BRUTALITIES - That's all the hand of fate at work ." The blond shifted in her seat ( The idea of fate has gotten him taking, I half expected him to go on and on with unrelenting shots of madness like everyone said this job would be like, but he seems to be very misunderstood. Cloud it be that the reality that we live in is wrong that no matter what happens that everyone fate has been sealed by the dictions we make every day. That everyone is destined to die is that the only way fate can end?) He now had her head spinning with all kinds of ideas of fate, reality, and destiny. It had only been about thirty minutes talking to him and the fabric of her reality started to unwind. " So now you see fate differently?" " Absolutely. now I understand. there are no chance encounters. It all is meant to be. Everything leading up to who I met tonight.!" " So... you have met someone special?" Yes. And you might say that they have changed EVERYTHING" " Everything?" ( Could he be talking about me? Have I really helped in in some way.) " Absolutely. Do you realize the Vail world we live in? How lonely it is to wade through all the wretch and filth on your own?" " It is kind of lonely, isn't it"

As the evaluation continued, she found herself falling for him. He seemed to understand what it was like to feel all alone in the world. Slight flashbacks of her school and home life came into view. In middle school all of the other kids would pick on her to the point she would come home with cuts and burses. He mother and father were too busy beating each other to a bloody pulp to notice, her high school years were much worse. That part of her life she had blocked out to keep herself sane. " Of course. Of course! you understand! Even in a crowed of other screwballs, that you're so alone that you can lick craw and yell. Scream to the top of your lungs - and no one cares. It's like the don't even exist ... I feel ... sometimes I feel I'm trapped on this path leading nowhere -into emptiness. but now ..." " But now you feel you got someone by your side - someone to share the journey with you ... And how does that make you feel?" " I feel adrift - floating - like someone has pulled the stopper on my reality and I SUCKED down the drain to something new. It's all very exciting really. you don't know what that feels like I'm sure ...." " I- might ... Actually. Can you tell me more about how this person makes you feel?" ( He is talking about me, he understands how I feel what it is like to be alone.. Maybe.. We can help each other..) " It's like meeting someone I can actually relate to - ... Which believe me, dear, I've NEVER felt before. you understand. You're someone who not afraid to let go and fall. ( Harleen giggles) Free falling and I didn't pack my chute. Do you know what I mean?" " Yes, yes I do " " I figured you would." " So.. May i ask.. Who is this person? " " Someone very, very special but who real name I don't even know yet!" ( I'm special to him ... and by the tone in his voice and everything he has been talking about he is telling the truth..) " My name is Harleen. Harleen Quinzel" " What a pretty name. Do your friends call you Harly " " O.. I don't have a lot of friends" " Well Harley you got one know. " Harley caresses her hands along his right arm, the Joker looks up with a wicked grin on his face..
