A/N: This has been in my laptop documents for almost a week so yay finally getting it out there! *fanfare*. And if anyone out there wathces BTAS series Yes I did take the name of Alice Pleasence from the eisode Mad as a Hatter. I liked that character so I'm expaning her for the comicverse but she originally belongs to WB.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to batman. I semi own alice and there will be one or two other OCs that I own in this fic but nothing else. Batman is copyrigted by DC comic. Trust me if I owned the comics they would have a LOT more slash!


Alice Pleasence was an intelligent girl.

She was 23 years old and qualified for a position for a medical intern.

What a lot of people couldn't understand is where she ended up interning.

At time SHE ddn't understand how she ended up there.

But it was the only place who had opening when she had applied for the internship.

She looked out the car window as the drver drove. They were almost there.

She knew her parents hated this, They wanted her to find a husband not acutally work.

But they didn't have a say in this,Her grandmother had left her this money and this is what she was choosing to do with it.

Besides she still dated people.

She saw the name of the place come into veiw as the cab grew closer to it.

ARKHAM ASYLUM.

She swallowed down the butterflies in her stomach. It was just a hosptital, yes it was the place where most of the criminals dubbed the 'Rouge Gallery' went but it was still a hospital non the less. She had been trained and she was confident that they wouldn't give her someone she couldn't handle as a paitent.

She would be fine.

"Hey lady." The rough accent of the cabbie started her out of her thoughts and she realized they had stopped. "This the place."

She nodded grabbing her purse. "Yes. Sorry." she said getting out of the car and paying for the trip,It was more then she thought but she had heard that cab did tend to gouge people in this city, after she watched the car drive off she turned at looked at the building. It was rather drab, not scary as the stories made it but lacking in the cheerfullness that some hospitals tried to show to make the patients feel more at ease with coming to them. She guessed it was true about the lack of funding although the wayne foudation DID give a lot of money for security.

She shook her head to clear it. Now was NOT the time for letting her mind wander.

She walked through the gates at Arkham and reminded herself that she was just here to do her internship and then move on.

Yes she just had to remember she was just here to do a job.

She'd be fine.
