"That looks like thats all the time we have for today Ms. Fernandez. Thank you for being so cooperative with me today! I believe in just a few months time , you'll be on the successful road to recovery!" Harleen smiled at the young woman. "Doctor can you make the cries stop? Please just make them stop!" the patient cried. Harleen sighed , taking off her glasses and rubbing her eyes. "Ms. Fernandez what you experienced has caused you severe emotional and physical trauma. You will feel the effects. I cannot promise you that the cries will stop however, I can promise that I will be with you every step of the way to help you." Harleen smiled reassuringly at the distraught woman. Amelia Fernandez seeming somewhat pleased stood and thanked the young doctor. "Frank if you could kindly escort back to her cell please ?" With a nod Frank Boles guided Amelia out of Harleen's office and back towards the patient cells.
Harleen gathered Amelia's patient files and headed towards her office. After all her years at Gotham University's medical program Harleen had never heard such a traumatizing case like Amelia's. When she was 18 and had already undergone three abortions , her high school boyfriend had gotten her pregnant. Amelia had been carrying the baby for 7 months when her boyfriend told her it was him or the baby. Lacking the opportunity to take the pill or undergo Dilation and Curettage, Amelia found another way. Amelia had undergone a hysterotomy at 7 now suffered from severe depression and constant nightmares . Harleen was never one to judge but she couldn't help but feel a slight sense of disgust towards her. She shook her head to clear those thoughts and continued down the hall. Harleen looked down at her red pumps and noticed a slight scuff mark . Groaning and looking up she noticed a crowd of people towards the end of the hall. Picking up the pace a bit she made her way down. "He's here! Right where he belongs! Bout time the bat brought him in!" Harleen looked around curiously. Who were they all talking about ? Why were they whispering ? Why didn't anybody ever tell her anything? She pushed her way through the crowd and just about had a heart attack. There in all his glory kneeled beneath Gotham's Dark Knight was the Joker himself.
