Chapter 1 -Lara POV

I tugged at my museum pass as the bus came to a screeching halt at the Gotham city museum. My collage in Gotham had decided to take a select group of students to go see some historical gem collection. Big whoop.

I didn't talk to anyone as we walked into the museum. That's how it was anyway at school, I kept my mouth shut and no one said anything about me, I wasn't teased, or bullied- not after Joe Greg tried to bully me in fourth grade anyway. Let's just say- I climbed a tree to get away from him, he followed and the branch he had been sitting on broke.

He still blamed me for his broken wrist though- never said anything about it.

Our group of eighty odd students piled into the museum. I sighed, the jewels were actually pretty, but unlike the other students, I hung back in the corner. I looked over my shoulder and examined one of the museums many paintings. I stepped closer, it had something sticking out of the corner, I pulled it out and gasped- It was a Joker Card!

I gasped, and my eyes probably tripled i size," But that means," I jumped when glass shattered and people started to scream, turning on my heel. I saw the Joker and Harley Quinn sliding down ropes from the skylight with big guns that looked like water guns- but I knew there wasn't any water spilling out of them! Everyone scrambled towards the door, Joker gas filled the room. I screamed, dropped the card and ran for the door. I could hear people starting to laugh until they died.

I had almost made it to the door my blood roaring in my ears- when I tripped!

"NO," I screamed, landing about a meter from the door- Joker gas clouded around me. My eyes closing and I waited for the gas to enter my body and do...Whatever it did.

I cracked an eye open after a few minutes. Sure the green gas was still clouded around me, people were laughing - some falling silent- and I could hear Harley and Joker breaking the glass to get to the jewels. I stood up on shaky feet. How we I still alive? Why wasn't I laughing to death like the other unfortunate people?

I jumped when I heard Harley laugh," Wow Puddin' these gems are beeutiful!"

I squinted in Harley's voice's direction, I could barely make out both of the villains' outlines threw the gas. They were loading up the collection into bags. 'Maybe I can distract them long enough for Batman or the police,' I ran forward, stopping to grab a fallen security guard's taser.

Joker slung his bag over his shoulder," Alight Harley let's blow this joint."

I jumped forward," Hey," I held the taser up," I don't think those belong to YOU!"

'REALLY! DID I REALLY just SAY THAT!'

Harley and the Joker froze, Joker laughed," Well this girl has Moxie! I'm surprised she was able to hold her breath this long," he sighed," Harley dear- Gas her up."

Harley aimed her gun at me," Bye, Bye," she pulled the trigger, and I was hit with a small dosage. But it blew away from me easily, and to the villain's surprise- and my own- I was still standing!

I smirked and pulled my trigger, the three charged stingers raced at Harley, but Joker threw his bag of jewels in front of her, the bag fell to the ground. The Joker laughed again," Harley my dear- we came here for gems, but we have found something much more precious!"

Harley laughed with him," Way ahead of ya Puddin," she pulled out rope and something with this wired grin painted in it.

I back up gulping," I-I think I've over stayed my welcome," I turned and ran. I heard heavy footsteps behind me and the Joker threw a card at me. It landed underneath my foot an I lost traction, falling onto my stomach. The Joker grabbed me, I screamed, and tried to yell for help- when nothing came out! I struggled but Harley put the grinning mask over my mouth and nose, and the chloroform knocked me out.

*****

I groaned and held my head as I came too, I sat up slowly. I wasn't bound, but I was in a room. The bed was in the corner. There were two doors and no windows. One door probably leads to a bathroom, the other one... Was the way out! I swung my legs over the side of the bed and tried to call out to see if anyone was there- but I couldn't!

I gasped and my hand leapt to my throat, I couldn't speak! What had happened to me?

I jumped when an non-costumed Harley opened one of the doors," Oh good, ya up."

I looked down at my hands, Harley walked up to me with a food tray. Harley set it down beside me and then sat down next to it," What's the Madda Puddin'?"

I opened my mouth, and then pointed at my throat while trying to talk- but only having incoherent noises leave my vocal cords! Harley frowned," Can't talk?"

I shook my head no. Then buried my face in my hands and started to cry. Harley put her hand on my shoulder," There, there Puddin' I'm sure it'll come back."

I have her my best, When do you think it will? look.

Harley shrugged," How should I know," She pushed the tray of peanut butter sandwiches and a soda towards me," I know it's not much, but you should eat. Then we can go see Mista J and see if he knows what happened. If he doesn't then maybe Poison Ivy can help-"

Wait, so super-villains HELPED each other. That was shocking...

"and if she can't," Harley continued, shrugging," We'll figure something out."

I sighed (I need to stop sighing- I sound like a southern bell!), and started to eat. Harley sprang up," Oh! I gotta idea," then she ran off!

I shook my head but sat on my bed. Harley hadn't locked the door maybe I could... No, I don't know the layout- if anything, I'd run into trouble trying to ESCAPE! I should just wait until someone found me.

Harley ran back in," Thanks for waitin' Puddin'," Harley handed me a note pad and a pencil," Now we can communicate!"

I gave a half-hatred smile and wrote THANKS on the notepad.

Harley sighed," Well- it's better than cerades ain't it?" I nodded and polished off my sandwich.

So, waiting's still my only option... Batman, Justice League- ANYONE- I just want you too know...

I'd appreciate some rescuing here!
