Joker and Dad P.O.V.

Joker: Charles why isn't she moving?

Charles walked over to Katherine's motionless body.

Charles: Katherine..........Katherine!!

She laid there motionless and I didn't know what to do my life who I sent electricity through is now motionless, I felt for  pulse and it was weak I looked at Joker and went over to the machine and switched it off completely.

Joker: Charles?

Charles: She has a pulse but it's weak.

I went and turned on a computer to look at her brain waves, I hooked it up to her and saw images within seconds everything looked normal the currents were firing like they should be and now she had a steady pulse but why wasn't she awake. I looked at the Joker and shook my head I couldn't figure out why she's not waking up everything was normal.

Katherine's Dream

I wondered around through the city  it looked broken and destroyed buildings were blown up and cars destroyed I saw blood and bodies I heard sirens I walked over and saw a reflection I went towards it and I saw a woman dressed in a pair shorts with fishnets with boots she had a Tailcoat Jacket on and her face was pale with blue eyes she stood there smiling and when I went to speak she did too I wet to go touch my face she copied every move I made she did I shook my head and turned around and there she was in front of me.

RingMaster: Hello Katherine

She had a wicked smile across her face.

Katherine:It's you your...

Ringmaster: YOU.......yes Kat I'm your other self the one locked away in this beautiful little brain.

She walked around me taunting me, I stood my ground and watched as she as in front of me again.

Katherine: Your not me I'm me I would never look like that, Why are you showing up now? What do you want?

Ringmaster: Of course your still in denial or you just don't remember as for what I want Nothing but your happiness and freedom.

Katherine: I am free.

Ringmaster: Really cause all I see is someone trapped by herself and her guilt.

Katherine: What are you talking about guilt.

She pointed to my left and I looked over and saw a woman laying on the ground with another person I looked and back at myself and she was gone I heard whimpering and walked over to the people and when I got close it was my mom she as shot several times and the girl next to her was me well other me I was crying I was hurt too but the wounds weren't as bad.

Katherine: Mom. I whispered and she reached over for other me.

Mrs. Pierce: Don't....let it..control you, this isn't you.......no matter what I love you.

Her breathing stopped and she was gone I reached for her and I felt this sharp feeling in my chest I looked down and there was blood and bullet holes I looked down and I was gone I fell down and gasped for air looking at her I felt this ache and then I closed my eyes.

I jolted up in trying to gasp for air I looked around and panicked everything was blurry I felt someone grab me and then I pushed them I jumped down from the table and I ran down the hall I came to a stop when I reached the door I couldn't open it, I kept hitting the door and began crying I remembered where I was and I remembered what I had done, myself showed me that and I wanted to know why my mothers death wasn't an accident it was me.

Mr. Pierce: Katherine!!

Joker: Katherine!!!

I turned around and I looked at both of them I was still crying I didn't know where to began I saw them looking at me and staring I followed there stares to my ribs I lifted the bandage and covered myself I saw my wound began to heal I turned and saw my reflection and I saw my wound disappear I turned back but before I could I saw a spark along my cheek and down my fingers my eyes ignited and I looked at my dad and Joker.

Joker: Whats going on why are her eyes like that?

Mr. Pierce: It's nothing maybe too much current.

Joker: Current my ass that's actual electricity and she heals like that.

Mr. Pierce: Joker right now is not the time........

Katherine: Dad! stop,....tell him....he deserves to know.

We both looked at each other and my father walked over I shook my head and he told us we should go home Joker took his jacket off and handed to me and wrapped his arms around me it sparked him and he jumped.

Katherine:Sorry it'll go away.

We walked and got in the car and drove off the drive seemed shorter home than it was there when we pulled up to the block I told them to stop I said to park.

Johnny: Boss.

Joker nodded and looked at me.

Joker: Babe what's wrong?

I looked at him and nodded I looked at dad and he clicked a button that tinted the windows.

Katherine: Stay here.

Joker:What...Why....

Mr. Pierce: Joker......unless you want Batman to take you back to Arkham, I'd consider staying in the car.

He looked at my dad and then me and I kissed him and got out of the car, thank goodness it's a town car otherwise I'd never get him to believe it's just my father in it and not Joker or Johnny. I walked down the street and stopped about 10 ft from the car I looked around and then I finally stopped by a street light covered by a tree.

Katherine: I know your here.

I saw him emerge from the shadows he was staying close to the shadows but everyone could see him.

Katherine: What are you doing here?

Batman: I heard from a friend you had a spill in with a couple of thugs.

Katherine:You following me too.

He just stood there with a straight look on his face not a care to give.

Katherine: Look, I don' t need you to help me I don't need you to be around me I want you to stay the hell away from me............Go...........Get out of here now!

He looked at me and walked past me his car appeared and he jumped on it he climbed in and when he looked at me he closed the hood and drove away. My father got out of the car and so did Joker I looked at them I then walked down the rest of the block and to my house I saw them follow me and I went upstairs to change.

Later that evening we sat in my living room telling him every detail as to what happened after I left. He sat there taking it all in and asking as to how it happened I looked around trying to figure out everything. I looked back at him and he looked completely overwhelmed I wanted to reach over and hold him but I couldn't bring myself to do it when father was done we looked at Joker who was now leaning on his knees with his head in his hands.

Joker: So is she gonna be o.k.?

We all looked at one another and I smiled and walked over to him and sat on the arm rest I put my hand behind his neck and put my head to his.

Katherine: I am most definitely going to be alright.

I looked at him and put my head on top of his he leaned into my neck and I rubbed his back. I then remembered what I saw when I was under I looked over at dad and he looked back at me.

Katherine: I know........what happened...to mom.
