Every just wanted to punch someone so bad and you couldn't do it?

That is how I feel at the momemt.

Jerome stood next to where I sat at a table singing in my ear Row Row Row Your Boat only he made it to the stream and had to start over every single time. Why the guards dexided it was safe for his annoying ass to be near me again I will never know.

Apparently life is not a dream in Arkham, I thought to myself as I tried to read a Gotham newspaper.

Jerome stuck his fat head over it grinning "Row row row your boat gently d8wn the stream. Row row row your boat gently down the stream. Row row row-"

"Your boat the fu-"

The doors slammed shut and a guy stood there with a ...some kind of scarecrow mask over his head, Jerome lit up "Craney!" He said and walked away from me, I felt relieved when he did. I looked down at my newspaper to find it ripped, I groaned.

"Perfect."

A creaking came from beside me "Sounds like you are having a terrible time" someone said in a smooth voice, he tapped his nails on the table "Long time since I have seen you. Ms Michaels."

I froze, my eyes reading the word GCPD over and over. Nobody has said that in a long time, I felt time slow down as I turned my head and looked at the man sitting next to me.

He had brown hair that went to his shoulders, a top hat made out of newspapers sat atop of his head and he had a smile. A creepy smile same as the first day I had seen him.

"Jervis Tetch" I breathed out as I stared at him.

"There is only one thing I can do to make you forget those memories you wish to no loner want."

"I'll do anything."

A creepy smile slid over his face "Hypnosis. I can say one word and you will forget them. Tell me a word you never hear."

"There is only one word. I have never heard the full sentence. I dont even know what it is to be honest."

"Oh? What is it?"

"There words. 'I Love You.' Never heard them before. Well, only once but he ...he doesnt matter anymore."

I blinked from the memory "Long time no see. I'm surprised you remember me" I said and put down the paper. He reached do it and opened it to the comic section.

"Oh I remember all of my clients. Especially the ...much depressed ones. I believe it was after your mother died, correct?"

I nodded and played with a loose string on my top "I left Falcone, shot Zsasz in the shoulder and found you to erase a lot of memories. Especially of someone who reentered my life." He stared at me over the newpaper and set I down.

"May I?"

I crossed my arms "Oswald. Oswald Cobblepot" I said, Tetch's eyes widened and he dropped the paper.

One ting about being hypnotized, if you ask someone to make you forget memories us in hypnotism they ask which memories.... Jervis found out my secrets.

He picked the paper up off the ground and set it on the table "Thats surprising. I had heard that he had ...stabbed you when Galvan was here. Alive" he said and tilted his to phat down a bit.

"He killed me."

Jervis was itching to find out more, I could tell, instead he clapped his hands together "I could hypnotize you again if you need it. Just saying I won't make you pay like last time."

I laughed "I'm fine. Honestly."

He was hesitating on something "Ms. Michaels, if I may?" He asked to which I nodded in return "Are you sir you can trust Cobblepot? After what he done to you?"

I sighed "People can change. And he has gained my trust."

He smiled "Some people gainntrust only to stomp it into pieces, Ms. Michaels" he told me, then he tipped his hat to me in a gentleman manner "I shall see you later."

Jervis is nice ...but all of his rabbits are missing up there in Wonderland. Just letting you know that.

Click.

Click.
Boom.

The lights went out in Arkham as everyone slept, I tossed and turned on the small bed before finally standing up and grabbing my cup of water off of the table beside the bed. I took a sip and set it back down, I sat on the bed and pulled my knees up to my chest.

I was cold and alone.

My eyes slowly shut and that's when the door creaked open, it was quiet and dark outside the rooms.

Slowly, I stood up and walked to the door like the girls I yell at in horror movies. I stepped out into the hall and held my fist up prepared for a fight.

"Hello?"

Something got sprayed in my face and I coughed as I his my face under my hands, I looked up as someone grabned me by the arms.

Scarecrow. Jonathan Crane stood there looking down at me, and in the next secons he looked creepy as hell. I screamed and broke free of his hood before running Dow the hall, the hall became lit up with flames and my heart rate increased as I sceeamed and fell to my knees.

Oswald's corpse laid beside me staring up at me with blood running from his mouth, I screamed as tears ran down my face.

At that exact moment I heard "Welcome to hell. Now let madness consume you" from a familoar voice.

Jerome.

I didnt know where he was but I followed where he voice had came from and grabbed him by his throat, I heard a noise.

Gotcha.

"Make it stop you crazy ass psycho bastard!" I hissed through tears, Oswald's body still in my mind.

Thats when hands pulled me away from him and I screamed in terror and pain, it was more like a screech.

"I. Will. Kill you!"

Not Oswald, Nessita, it isnt him. He is in Gotham, he is alive, he is smarter than Sofia. He is smarter than anyone.

I hope. I know. I can't lose him too.
