I woke up to loud arguing and the taste of copper in my mouth. Since this strange man, known as Two-Face, hit my hard enough to make me pass out, he also hit me hard enough to break the skin on my forehead and make me bleed. Realizing he dragged my unconcious body into my sealed living room. I heard something crash to the floor and more yelling. As my vision focused on my surroundings I realized today was suppose to be my first day of work.

I mentally freaked out, but realized Two-Face hasn't noticed my phone in my pocket. I still heard arguing behind the closed door to my room and tried my best to reach towards my phone. After a few minutes of struggling I finally got a grip on it. I called my work and tried to, as quietly as possible, tell them a man named Two-Face was in my home.

I heard silence on the other end.

After a few moments the women on the other end of the line asked me to give her my address, which of course I did. I hung up and waited for Two-Face to come back. I waited for about 6 minutes before trying to escape. He bursted through the door, breaking it, and threw me back on the couch. I felt bruising appear on my shoulders, but at the time I was more concerned with my door.

I stared at him and said 'Look buddy, I don't know what you've done in the past or what you plan on doing to me, but did you really need to break my--' and I was cut off with his hand slapping me across my face. The impact was so strong that I landed on the floor. His normal side of his face looked at me in shock, while his scarred side grinned deviously. 

I was utterly shocked and outraged. 

''Look Princess-- (his normal voice started) Bah! Princess? More like evil witch!--'' As his scratchy voice stated. My cheeks flashed red from annoyence. What was with Two-Face? His persona was annoying me beyond comprehension.

"Look we're trying to hide from the cops and this was the closest house. We hate Arkham and the ignorent staff there. Trying to help us! There is no possible way someone as stupid as those zombies there can help us. No one can...'' he said as his voice trailed off.

Another moment passed as we heard police sirens, and I can see Two-Face's whole face fill with shock. I can hear Gordon's voice from the other side of the door, demanding for me to be released unharmed.

 Without a second thought, I stood up and took hold of Two-Face's gun and hit him in the head with it before running outside. The police swarmed my house and as I looked up I saw a mysterious figure watching from the rooftops before gliding away. 

Next thing I noticed was the sky, which was clear of clouds and hot. I checked the time on my phone and realized it was 3pm. I cursed under my breath and told Commissioner Goron I had to excuse myself because of work. I ran inside my home, finished fixing myself and hid the wounds caused by my capturer and ran to grab a taxi to Arkham Asylum.
