the sound of pool balls clash together in the distance as I sip a strong and smoky whiskey. the sound of some slow rock song ringing in the background is drowned out by my thoughts. what s my next move? frost had went outside for a smoke leaving me to my troubled mind. I cant just leave, but I cant stay. I hear the bell from the door opening making me slide a quick look to see who had came in. I see frost and a tall, broad and dark man walk in and coming towards me. I turn on the stool, my shorts making it a bit harder to do. I changed from the ripped dress a while ago due to the fact it wasn't in any shape to continue being worn. I wore a black tank that is longer on the sides, and some cowgirl boots ive had for a while. frost motions a hand to me and speaks to the man. "this is Lizzy, Lizzy this is Floyed, aka Deadshot. he wants to get Harley back." I shake hands with Floyed and he nods his head to me. "frost said you had information on Harley?" I nod my head and the men take seats beside me." shes back at belle reve. we need to get her out its my fault shes in their." frost goes to say something but I put my hand up. "it is and don't try to deny it. ive thought a lot about this and I think I have an idea." once Floyed gets his whiskey we all clink glasses and talk about the plan.
1 week later
Harley sits in a cell all alone reading a book. the next thing she knows a huge group of guards come in surrounding someone. they break apart to reveal Lizzy. Harleys eyes go wide and jumps up. "Lizzy?!" I smile and walk a bit closer. "yes. I informed them I was your previous psychiatrists and I could possibly help." I wink at her and the guard opens the door. I use the clipboard I had in hand to hit him in the back of the knees. I quickly grab his gun and shoot him. with those simple movements the whole place lit up in sparks and sulfur. me and Harley quickly and had her the gun. she knows how to use it a lot better than I do. before we know it the room goes silent. we look around to see only deadshot in a police uniform and guns smoking at his side.
Harley runs to him and they unite in a hug full of passion. I hear people running towards the room so I motion for them to follow me. we go out a separate door and I grab a gun off of one of the guards dead on the floor. I open a huge metal door and usher deadshot and Harley in then enter quickly. i turn around to see a couple vats of blue liquid. "this brings back memories, just different colors." Harley smiles and i start panicking. "this was the wrong door. shit!" i try to remember if their is a way out of this area when doors open on the bottom floor. i look up to see a door near the top. motion for them to be quiet and follow me. we silently but quickly run up the stairs. right as i reach for the door a gun goes off and a pain shoots through my left leg. i groan in pain and fall. more shots are heard and Harleys trying to help me up. i open the door and look out to see its a high drop. "fuck! this is where they transport shit, they use a crane for this door." i look to deadshot and him grappling hook like thing. "hey Floyed! how much weight can that handle?" he keeps shooting but looks at his hip where it sits for a second. "maybe two people at most! why?" i silently whisper a curse and get myself up. i start shooting some of the soldiers that are left. "go! now! ill be right behind you guys!!" deadshot looks at me then Harley and nods. he sets it up and before Harley can protest they are out the door.
i keep shooting and before i know it the soldiers are dead. i lean against the wall for a few minutes trying to think of a way to get out. i look out the door to see deadshot left the grapple their. maybe if i keep a tight grip i could get down it? i grab a hold of it and start making my way down. as i get halfway down in a gun goes off. everything goes in slow motion as i look down at my side to see blood cover my white shirt. i lose my grip on the rope and before i know it I'm falling. i reach at the air trying to grasp onto something. i feel the rocky, hard ground as my back slams against it. my breath is taken away and i gasp for air. i see stars and blackness crowd my vision. i slowly get up with a scream of pain. i hear the footsteps of soldiers and i do my best to crawl away. my vision slowly gets darker and darker, i can feel myself fading. is this it?
hear screeching of tires and then guns going off once again. i feel hands wrap around my torso and drag me away from the building. i let out a scream of pain, reality getting clearer. i look up to see Harley dragging me into the van we had brought to help get Harley out. "we wouldn't give up on ya that easy." i smile and help as much as i can to get into the van. the doors slam closed and we speed off. Harley rips my shirt off and i see her face pale at the sight in front of her. i feel myself getting weaker. i didn't need to see myself to know i wasn't going to make it. i still feel her shaky hands work to fix me up. i go in and out of conscious as she digs in my hip and leg to get the bullet out. before i know it everything goes black.
everything is dark and cold. where am i? i look around but its all pitch black. i hear static and i see almost a large tv appear in front of me. "Lizzy! don't go near the stranger!" i feel tears go down my face as i see a young me walking up to someone at a bar my mom decided to take me to. why a bar? because she wanted to get drunk of course. it snaps to the moment i met jack and my tears pour out more. "is this what people talk about? their life flashed before their eyes?" i fall to my knees as it keeps going through my life. once it gets to just mere moments ago it cuts off and i hear voices. it sounds like doctors discussing things. suddenly a volt of electricity goes through me and i scream. nothing seems to come out. i feel a few more and then a slight beep. "shes alive!" i stay sitting on the ground of what i can only assume is my mind, clutching my heart. "if I'm alive then why am i still here?" i hear the word coma and everything makes sense.
after hours of sitting in my own head i hear a all too familiar voice. "Lizzy I'm so sorry. i should have been their with you! i should have told you the truth sooner.." its Selina. i smile and i hug myself. "i forgive you.." is all i can whimper out. knowing full well she cant hear me. i hear another sorry from Bruce, i guess they got together..
i lay on the floor of my mind and close my eyes. after a few hours i hear almost silent footsteps. i open my eyes and feel a kiss on my cheek. i hear jacks voice and i smile. "i should've let frost use my men. i should have helped. well now i will. soon, ill have my li..my Mz. Hyde back." i feel stinging in my arm and look at it to see my veins glowing a bright blue. "what did you do j?" suddenly it feels like my head s on fire and i scream out in pain. i feel like I'm being torn into two and being burned at the same time. i close my eyes in pain only to open them with a gasp to see the hospital room.
sorry for the cliffhanger, sequel will be started soon!
