Asylum Knights

chapter 2: Madness is here...

"FATHER"

batman shouted,as he awoke in cold swear, tears running down his mask he shock his head and looked around the cell with startled eyes as he returned to an awakened state, as he calmed down from his horrible nightmare he saw a clock through the peer hole of the bolted door

"1:00 am?" he said, suddenly he heard a buzzing which was coming from the intercom

"GOOD-MORNING bat's" cackled the joker as batman shimmied up the wall to stand up, he could only just stand, but he was still strong.

"what do you want, joker" asked batman as stared at the security camrer, he knew joker was on the reciving end

"oh you dont look very happy?, is it the blood colour on the walls, they can bring you down!" joker sneered,

"where is robin?" batman growled

"what have you done with him!" "oh, now that would spoil the suprise"

then the buzzing stopped, all was quiet, exsept for the muffled screams of the arkham in-mates down the hall.

as batman sat back down, he heard the door being opened

"breakfast" said one of jokers Hench men as he barged into the cell, batman was not happy, the Hench man knelt down an placed the tray next to batman, he stared right at him

"here you are, you got some fruit, eat up... then after that you will be let out for a while...so be a good bat"

the Hench men laughed in batman's face, got up and walked out the door, bolting it behind him. Batman looked at the rust tray of broiled fruit

"i would rather starve then eat this" batman thought then he heard joker laughing through the inter-con

"oh eat up bat's, for if you want to see the boy blunder ever again... i want to see a clean tray, got it"

batman with a look of disgust hunched over on his knees and took a bit out of the apple, a look of disgust as he swallowed

"GOOD BOY HAHAHA" giggled the joker as he wacthed in hesterics

. As batman started to eat the rotten fruit, in the control room the joker was over the moon with his victory

"oh Harley my sweet, I can't believe It...hahaha" he chuckled as Harley Quinn skipped into the room humming as she made her way over to him

" Mr.j you have finally have done what no other could of"

she grinned as she fell into his lap, then he gave out a sinister laughter as he span around on his chair hugging her tight, around the desk and towards some CCTV monitors he pointed and giggled,

"aw look Harley that boy blunder ball is still taking a nap... Huh... Well I think a good bit of Fresh Air will help. Hahahaha".

"ok boys, i think the bat needs some air, but remember... to keep him on his lead! hahaha" the joker laughted as the door to batmans cell was opened

"huh?" muttherd batman as he looked up

"come on little bat... time for walkies" two of the jokers men stormed into the cell and pulled batman to his feet, he could barely stand

"where...where are we going?" asked batman as the men unlocked the chains from the wall and clipped them to harnes they were both wareing

"to go see an old friend" hissed one of the henchmen as they started to make there way out the door.

Batman was pushed forward, they entered the corrie-door which was endless, covered with thick, heavily bolted doors and there was so many screams, they would make a dead man turn in his grave, batman was ushered down the corridor,

"i must find him" batman thought to himself

as he glanced at each cell door they passed, he could see the inhabitants of each one, all as crazy as the next,  trapped and hidden from the outside world, so many people who only need someone to understand there condition of mental illness then maybe there would be more empty cells in this place, there solution is old fashioned, punished for something we can not cure or at least cant be bothered to try to understand, the human mind, a complex creation of which is balanced on the thin line between sanity and insanity, which we are all walking.
