"Hey daddy." I said the second I saw him enter the room.

He did not say a word he just started walking down the hall looking around to take in his surroundings. The Riddler fled to the back of his cage when dad walked by and the scarecrow was already back to hiding in the shadows.

Mr. Freeze did not look to happy to see him. That was understandable considering he got arrested a few months ago when he tried to rob a fundraiser we were hosting. I looked over to Ivy was standing there silently, for the first time ever. And the Joker was standing right next to the front of the glass. His forehead resting against it as if getting closer to my dad would help him understand better what was going on.

He walked straight to me only stopping for a moment to look at the crazed clone in the cell across form me. He then turned his attention to me. His stern expression faltered for a second when he looked at me smiling back at him. But only for a second.

"What is my daughter doing here, Skyler?" He asked Head Bitch whose name I finally know.

"This is the safest place for her to be." She answered with way less confidence then she normally has.

"This is not what we agreed upon. She was supposed to be upstairs in one of the patient rooms. Not down here with them." He snapped at her.

"Ouch that hurts. You're going to make me think you don't like us." The Joker replied causing Ivy to chuckle lightly as she covered her mouth.

"I think we made the right decision considering." Head Bitch Sky answered him.

He ignored her and looked back to me.

"Bunny what's going on? Why did you attack that man?" He asked me and I knew if I wanted to get through to him I would have to take a different approach.

"They won't listen to me daddy." I said as I dropped the smile and walked up to the glass and made shore he noticed that I would not touch it.

"I was just so hungry. I begged and begged for more food and they would not give it to me. I felt like I was dying." I told him.

"I told you she needed a special diet." He snapped back to the staff.

"The rules apply to everyone." She answered.

"Not to my daughter, not when my donations keep this place open." He told her.

"I'm going crazy in here." I said bringing his attention back to me.

"They won't let me out of here. I have been in this little cube since you dropped me off. They won't even give me a book. All I have to keep me occupied is talking to these three." I said as I pointed to Ivy, Joker, and Mr. Freeze.

Ivy gave him a polite wave.

"Hello Mr. Wayne." She said to him.

The Joker just stood there in his strait jacket smiling at him and Mr. Freeze looked like he wanted to bust out of the cage and kill him.

"I can't even touch the glass or they electrocute me." I told him causing him to look over to the staff.

"And it's not far I did nothing wrong until this point daddy. I just want more food and to get the hell out of this box." I told him as I forced myself to start crying.

"They even let the Joker out for therapy and an hour in the yard. I get nothing." I told him as I started to sob.

"I just wanted to talk to you. I knew you would listen to me." I told him.

"So you attacked this young man." He said to me.

"This young man is a pervert who forces Ivy and I to change and shower in front of him, and when I refused he electrocuted and beat me until Dr. Q stopped him." I told him.

My dad looked from me to the guard and for a second in his eyes I saw pure rage. Like he wanted to come in here and finish what I started.

"Open the door." He told them in a cold voice.

"Sir." Head Bitch Sky tried to say to him.

"Now!" He yelled at her.

"Stand back." The guards said to me and I listened putting my hands on the back wall like they always tell me to.

They came in and dragged out the guard and when they were gone I ran up and gave my dad a big hug. Having to stand on my tip toes to reach my arms around his neck.

"Do you promise not to hurt anyone again?" He asked me.

"Yes. I'm so sorry, I just needed them to listen to me." I told him as I still let a few tears drip down my face.

"Fine." He said.

"I want her to have yard privileges and as much food as she needs." He said to them.

"We can't do that. She's dangerous." Head Bitch said.

"She's only dangerous when she's hungry. Feed her and keep her away from them and she will be fine." He told them. "Unless you want me to stop donating to your lovely hospital." He told them.

"Yes sir." Head Bitch Sky answered.

"And him, he needs to be fired. And if I hear of anyone mistreating my daughter again I will shut this place down." He told her.

"Yes sir." She answered again.

"And one last thing." He said. "Dr. Quinzel is to be her permanent doctor." He told her as he walked off leaving me standing back in my cell.

The guards came and locked me back in, I cried the entire time. The second they left the hall and it was just us crazy's again I wiped my tears, fixed my hair and replaced my frown with smile. It had always been so easy for me to get my way when it comes to my dad. I stood there smiling and when I looked around everyone was not sure what to do with the information that was given to them. All except the Joker who was smiling back at me.
