Barbara was given the letter by Penguin but decided not to open it right away. She opens it a day later when she was alone. It was a white letter with a red heart sticker sealing it. Barbara was curious, she had not talked to Jerome in awhile, she wondered how he was doing. She kind of missed his colorful personality. It really stuck out, even among the three nuts in this house who she had grown accustomed to dealing with. 

The Note Read 

Dear Barbara Keen 

I still remember when I first spotted you in Arkham that day and those fun little adventures with Galavan. After Galavan turned and killed me I was later brought back thanks to some weird science experiment strange was performing. I decided to gather a gang of freaks, carnies, and performers, along with a lot of poor young children off the streets of Gotham. I trying to open up an old Carnival a friend has bought for me. I can't tell you who that friend is but they are indeed a very useful one. Now that we are not under Galavan rule and both free to do as we wish I thought maybe we could hang out sometime. You seemed very interesting before, I sure you are more so when you are not on a leash. I would very much love to have your friendship again, now that I been brought back from the dead. If you are interested I been hanging at the address "145667 Cherrywood street". Just click the button at the box near the gate and say you are here. Someone is always at the place. Even if its not me. If someone other than me answers say you are Barbara Keen. I told all my friends about you. 

See you Soon JEROME 

She smiles. "Ah, well that was sweet, he remembered me. Perhaps I should pay him a visit sometime since he was so kind to write me and go through all the hassle. She takes the letter to a desk in her room and writes the address off the letter onto a separate piece of paper and gets a push pin and pins the paper to the wall. "Ill come visit you soon Jerome" She says with a smile. 

15 minutes later, Barbara decides to talk to Ed 

She knocks softly on his door. Ed is doing something at his desk. The door is ajar and she slowly opens it peering in at Ed. Ed turns around and puts down what he is doing. "What you doing in here"? She asks. "Oh, models, I like building models" Ed says. "Might I bother you for a minute" she asks. "Yes, what did you need Miss Keen"? Ed says turning around in his chair. "Well, remember how I did you that favor" she asks. "Yes, I do" he says. "Well... I would kind of like if you did something for me" she says. "Sure, what is it miss Keen" He says. "I need you to deliver a letter for me" she asks. "To Jerome"? Ed asks. "Yes, to Jerome" She says. "What did the letter he gave you say"? Ed asks. "Oh, just that he misses me and we should hang out sometime" Barbara says. "So can you"? She asks. "I suppose, I do ow you one Miss Keen" Ed says. 

"Thanks Ed"! She says as she walks in and drops the letter on his desk. It has a black heart sticker on it. Ed takes notice of that. "When you get to the gate, say BARBARA sent me" she says. "Alright Miss Keen" Ed says. "Oh, and be sure not to tell anyone else in the house about it okay" Barbara says. "Understood" Ed says and Nods.
