Olivia sat silently to herself, she played with the dirt and dust piling up in the corner of her cell waiting for something to happen. She was positive that the Bat hadn't finished with her yet. Sure enough, he arrived a few minutes later.

They let Bruce into the cell as Olivia continued to write her name in the dust. Once the two were alone, she spoke.

"Revenge." She never took her eyes off of what she was doing. "My only comfort that remained in this world was gone.. so I took his.."

Bruce opened his mouth and was about to speak when she cut him off.

"Shhh... if you talk you might miss the show." A psychotic grin spread across Olivia's face.

"What-"

"Shhh..." She cut him off again.

A red glow began to flash on and off throughout the asylum. A terrible, piercing alarm sounded in every direction. There were gun shots and yelling and then the cell filled with gas. Olivia took a gas mask out from under her bed and put it on, Bruce threw some punches, but whatever gas this was, even with his suit, it effected him. He sunk slowly to the ground getting weaker as Olivia's cell door opened. She exited the room and Bruce's vision faded to black.

...

You could hear his unsteady, heavy breathing as he began to come to. However, Bruce was no longer inside the cell with Olivia. His eyes blinked open.

"Sir, sir are you alright?" Bruce could hear a muffled voice but his vision was blurred and his head was spinning.

"Sir?" Bruce closed his eyes tight and opened them again, the world slowly becoming more clear.

"Sir, if you can hear me I need to know if you are alright." It was Alfred.

Bruce sat up and rubbed his forehead. "Where... where am I,"

"Well, when the gas cleared and everything was over, Gordon went into Arkham to inspect the scene and found you unconsious and nearly dead in Olivia's cell. He brought you outside and into the station. I was driving past the station and saw him leave the room, so I took you before he came back. Once you were hidden in the back of the car, I was about to get back in and drive away when I heard him explain what had happened to another officer. After that I drove you back here and waited for you to wake up." Alfred explained.

"Why were you driving past?" Bruce asked still rubbing his forehead.

"I was going to surprise you with the pastries from the bakery down the road from the police department, but I didn't get the chance. Anyway, I am more surprised that your suit did not protect you from the gas." He replied.

"Right, we should do some tests and figure out what the gas was made of. While we do that we also need to work on tracking Olivia, Harley Quinn, and the Joker. As much as it pains me to say this, but right now we need Joker and Harley to help us to fight Olivia." It made him sad to realize that Olivia was truly gone since her loss of mind was caused by the Joker. He knew there was no saving her now.  Bruce hopped off of the table. "Also can you get me a glass of water please,"

"Yes of course," and with that, Alfred left for the kitchen.
