Phantom Of Arkham

“Sold!” The auctioneer shouted as the next item was sold, “Your number sir?”  

Jonathan Crane was attending the auction. The auction was held in the old Arkham Asylum. It had burnt down a few years ago when some weird going ons were happening. Jonathan Crane was a doctor at the asylum when the weird things were going on and he played a massive part in it but it was rather upsetting but when he heard someone speak about some men recovering some stuff from Arkham Asylum, Jon had to attend. Jonathan held up his number and the auctioneer nodded. Jonathan was now an old man, withering away slowly but rather wealthy. He was alone.

“Thank you sir!” The auctioneer said before someone came in with another item, a small double sided coin, “Lot 665: A double sided coin. Some may recall the strange going on with the so-called “Two Face” ghost, we are told that this is the same coin that people caught him flipping,” Jon listened as soon as he heard “Two Face Ghost”

He remembered the Two Face ghost. Oh he remembered him all too well.

“Shall I start the bidding at 20 dollars? Maybe 15 dollars?”

Bidding went on, something told Jonathan to buy the coin. It was haunting him but he just had to buy it. When he saw the coin, he remembered everything. The coin looked exactly as it did back then, double sided with scratches. He wondered why Two Face would even leave this…

“Thank you Dr Crane,” Someone came down to give him the coin. Jon held it in his hands.

“Everything just as it was… “Jon thought to himself, “Still shining… will you shine when everyone is gone…?”

Jonathan snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the bombing voice of the auctioneer “Lott 666: A mirror,” Jon looked up to see that mirror from his memories. The one that was supposed to be cursed. It was wheeled on with cover over it but Jon recognized the frame, it had scratches all over it.  “One of the most famous cases of the haunting was in one of the cells where the ghost often appeared in the mirror. People believe the mirror was the cause of the haunting,” The man chuckled and so did many, but not Jonathan, “Our workshops have worked on putting it together so we can place it in the new asylum being made next year. Maybe we can frighten off the ghosts of so many years ago,”

The cover was pulled off and people gasped at how beautiful the mirror was… so much that only Jonathan could see it was double sided…

“This way Mr Wayne and Mr Crane,”

Walking through Arkham Asylum was Commissioner Gordon and Bruce Wayne, billionaire playboy and now new owner of Arkham city. Also, Jonathan Crane was a new doctor so Gordon was just giving Jonathan a taste of what was happening. Today was a big day for some of the inmates as today was a day were some villains might be let go on account of good behaviour. One of them was Harleen Quinzel, otherwise known as Harley Quinn. Gordon looked through the door to see a very calm and collected Harley Quinn having a conversion with her doctor, Dr Irene Smith. The three men stepped in.

“Oh Hello Gordon,” Irene greeted before seeing Bruce Wayne, “Oh my, you’re billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne!”

“That I am,” Bruce said with a smile.

“This is Dr Crane, he’s our newest Doctor,” Gordon said to her

“Oh, welcome to Arkham,” She said with that “It’s a depressing job” tone, “I’m sorry, I’m a little busy with Harley, can this wait?”

“Oh no, we’re only here to watch,” Gordon said, “I’m sure you’ve heard about Jeremiah’s retirement from this place, well Mr Wayne is the new owner,”
