Hey guys! So I'm taking a break from my other story, I've kind of fallen out of it for right now, but I promise I'll get back on it!
Here your going to see my other style of writing. It's going to be darker and more serious.
I've wanted to write this story for so long, so now why not! Haha :D
This is set in the Nolan-verse of batman with a hint of the comic book and animated series.
This story is going to be mature, for the obvious reason.
So please make sure you know this before you start reading.
So hope you all enjoy! R+R and so on.
3 Much,
Clairemarie

"SHIT!" Harleen exclaimed to herself as she stubbed her red painted toe nail on the side of her bed. It was her first day at her new job, and she was late. She hopped from her bed to her closet. "God, of course I'm late. The most important thing in my life, and I'm late!" She mumbled to herself. She reached into her closet and pulled out a simple white button down blouse, and a high waisted black pencil skirt, and put it on. She fell to her knees and searched for her red pumps."AH! Gotcha!" She grabbed both her shoes and ran out of her apartment. Harleen bounced down her stairs to the front door. "Where are you going in such a rush Harleen?" , the elder land-lady,asked. Harleen rushed passed her. "Work! Tell your granddaughter I say hello!" kept rambling on about how the repairman was going to come fix their water pipes, and what not. But Harleen wasn't interested. All she wanted to do was get to the Asylum,and fast.
Harleen pulled into a spot in the last row of the parking lot,sighed to herself,grabbed all of her things then bounced out of her car. Her heals clicked loudly as she ran to the doors of the Asylum. The guard stationed at the front of the building watched her run. Out of breath, Harleen reached the doors. "Can I see your sign in pass?" the guard asked. He was medium build with handsome features. Harleen smiled and fixed her skirt. "I have it in here somewhere..." She said rummaging through her bag. Finally her fingers reached a small square of plastic and pulled it out. "Here, sorry." The guard smiled at her and looked at her pass. ", seems you don't have a picture on here." The guard said turning the pass over. "I know, I know. It's my first day and they haven't given be a proper pass yet, I'm already running late and is going to be fuming..." The guard held up his hand. "It's alright . Just make sure you have a qualified pass for tomorrow." The guard smiled. Harleen sighed in relief. "Thank you so much..." She read his name badge. "...Sam." Sam smiled. "Have a nice day." He opened the door to let her in. She rushed past him and into the front office and the Head nurses station. Harleen ran up to the counter. "Ms. Joan Leland, please." She asked the huge nurse behind the glass. "One moment." She heard come out of the woman, a voice that you knew had many years of cigarettes and booze behind it. "Name?" The woman asked, not looking up from her paper. "Uh, Quinzel, Harleen Quinzel." The woman looked up with her eyes, not moving her head. "Harleen? You don't check in with me...you just walk in." Harleen's mouth fell agape. "Your serious?" She got a Mmmhumm and a point to the right with a beefy finger. Harleen sighed and ran over to where the beastly nurse pointed. She ran toward the door that said Dr. Joan Leland and knocked. "Come in!" She heard from the other side of the door. Harleen cracked the door a bit. "..." She said in a very small voice.
The woman looked up and instantly got a smile on her face. "OH! I thought you might have gotten lost!" exclaimed getting up from her desk. "I'm so sorry I'm late Doctor, it will never happen again." Harleen said looking at the floor. "Oh hush now. All interns get confused on their first day." Harleen let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you for understanding, everything was just going wrong for me this morning..." put up a hand. "No worries! Please, let me show you to your office." She motioned for Harleen to go out the door. She did as she was instructed. She was led down a long hallway, till they got to a door marked Harleen Quinzel:Intern. "Well home sweet home!" said pointing to the door. Harleen flashed a smile. But inside she was growling. Of corse it says Intern, it couldn't just have my name, eh? "Well, get yourself settled and Barbara will be around to show you your patience." Harleen shook her head yes. patted her shoulder and walked away. Harleen watched her walk down the hall to her big office. Harleen rolled her eyes toward her office door, she put her hand on the knob and sighed. Here's to your new career, girly.
