Four years later...

"Miss Y/N, the patient by the name of Scarecrow is scheduled for this time." Mary, one of the nurses, said, handing me Scarecrow's files.

"Thank you." I nodded, and began to walk down the hallway, heels clicking as I did.

So, this is life. Constantly talking to patients about whatever they held inside themselves. But that's a psychiatrist's job. I honestly actually like it, considering the pay is holding my head above water.

During these four years, I've changed. I got a degree. Made money the right way, instead of stealing. Dyed my hair, and cut it shoulder length to cover up the dark blue it was originally since ACE chemicals.

I'm a brand new woman, but sometimes I wish I still had my old life. I miss J. I miss the car chases, the late night club arguments, J's touch, the way he smelled of gunpowder when I hugged him. I miss all of that.

After all of what happened, I never found him, or the girls. It's like he disappeared. I tried looking for them, for at least a year or more. I went to the hideouts, and clubs, but no one was ever there.

I checked the news often to see what bank J robbed, but there hasn't been any crimes happening lately. At this point, all I wish is that he or Selina, Harley and Pam isn't dead. 

I walked towards the steel door, and opened it; heading to the chair that was right in front of Scarecrow. I sat down and he leaned forward.

"Hello doctor..." He said in a menacing tone.

"Yeah hi, now I'm going to ask you a series of questions, and you have to answer truthfully." I began.

"Hmm, you're not scared of me?" He asked.

"No I'm not, now let's begin."

"Hold your horses there pretty. Now why a aren't you scared?"

"I've seen far more scarier things in children's books. Now I believe that I'm supposed to be asking all the questions here." I cocked my head to the side.

"Hmm. Well yes you are but I have one last question..." He said. I rolled my eyes, and looked down at my paper. "Where have I seen you before?"

I slowly looked back up, and looked into his eyes. Scarecrow continued to stare at me, scanning for something he remembered me by.

"Only here in Arkham as a doctor." I said, knowing very well J and I used to make deals with him.

Scarecrow leaned back in his chair, eyes never leaving mine. He let out a 'hmm', and began thinking to himself.

"Now, from here on out I'll be asking all the questions." I picked my papers up. "Question one..." I began.

The day passed kind of quickly. I found myself driving home to my apartment in downtown Gotham. It took a long time to get there, but eventually pulled up to the parking lot.

I made my way to my room on the third floor. I opened my door, and placed my purse and keys on the table. I kicked off my heels that was hurting my feet, and plopped down on my couch. My phone rang so I answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hey Y/N, it's Peter."

"Oh, hi how are you?"

"Im pretty good, just called to see if you want to go on a date with me tomorrow or something. Dinner maybe?" He asked, as I took a second to make my decision.

"Uh, yeah sure. I should be free tomorrow."

"Ok, that's great! Well, see you tomorrow then."

"Ok, see you tomorrow."

"Bye."

"Bye." I ended the phone call, and placed my phone down.

I have to admit life is pretty boring. Yeah, I found this guy named Peter that I'm so called 'talking to'. But in all honesty, I don't love him. But I gave him a chance because I don't think I'll be seeing J again, and because I turned down Peter so many times I kinda just gave up.

I turned on my tv, and my dog, Jack, came running over to me; hopping on the couch. I rubbed his head, as he snuggled next to me.

"Do you believe in faith buddy?" I asked my dog, as he looked up at me. "I kinda do." I said, sighing. He barked, and it made me smile a little as I continued to watch tv.

As the evening came, I went to my bedroom to change, and get ready for bed. I slipped on my comfortable pajamas after I cleaned myself up, and headed to bed.

I looked over to my bedside table, and kept my eyes on J's picture that I had since he showed it to me four years ago.

"Baby, one day... I'm sure we'll meet again." I said, as a tear found it's way down my cheek. I closed my eyes, and I was lost in the darkness.
