Mass Arkham Breakout
Prologue
Arkham Asylum: a place where 'troubled' criminals and psychopaths make their home. Not one night is it ever quiet or calming; except one particular night. As always, the Caped Crusader makes his nightly rounds either patrolling the vicinity, or bringing another criminal back to Arkham. Oddly enough, Batman had done neither for that night.
Inside Arkham, all of the criminally insane inmates tried their best to look innocent. Joker shuffled his cards, Two Face continuously flipped his coin, Poison Ivy tended to her plants, and Riddler worked on his crossword. Just as they were minding their own business, Harley Quinn was taken out of her cell and escorted pass the other inmates. As she glanced at them, they each exchanged subtle winks to each other. As she passed by Joker's cell, he gave her the indicating wink which made her heart flutter. Then she remembered the plan.
"Oh! Guard! I don't feel so good!" she exclaimed. She dropped herself to the ground and began to gag herself making the guard lose their grip on her. The two security guards looked at each other, puzzlingly.
"Come on, we'll get you to Doctor Leland." One of them said. As the two bent down to scooped her back up, she leaned herself on one of them leaving the other guard to grip her arm. She looked at him with her best 'I-feel-sick' face. As he stared back at her, she gave him a nice smile then WHAM! She jutted her leg in between his legs. He quickly lost grip on her leaving the other one reaching for his gun. As his hand went down to his right side, he noticed the empty gun holder. Harley leaned all her weight off of the guard again giving him a fiendish smile. As she backed away, she began twirling the gun in her hand.
"Ah, ah, ah, Guard-a-roo! Didn't your mother ever tell ya not ta play with weapons?" Harley taunted. The guard looked at her in astonishment, never knowing that Harley would be someone to break out like this. He reached for his walkie talkie. Before the guard was able to call in the security breach, Harley knocked her bony fist into the guard's jaw leaving him unconscious.
"And no one likes a tattle tale either!" she finished. In the background, Harley heard the maniacal cackling in the background her puddin' was making.
"HAHAHA! Oh Harl! You clever little minx! I knew you could do it!" Joker yelled through the glass. A smile grew on her face as Joker praised her. She playfully bowed and picked up the security card letting all of the inmates in the criminally insane ward out.
As they paraded out of the asylum, both guards and nurses began to plunge into the mass trying to get as many criminals as they could back to their cells. But each person that attacked the mass either ended up fearing their worst nightmares, laughing hysterically to death, knocked unconscious, or having a knife plunged into their flesh as Zsasz finished off his ritual with another tally mark into his skin.
As the doors of the asylum were opened, every free prisoner scrambled in different directions, dispersing as they went into Gotham City. At this time, the Dark Knight was pulling up to Arkham Asylum. As the last of the criminally insane prisoners escaped Batman and his ward, Robin ran ino the facility to get a better understanding as to what had happened.
"Oh boy…" Robin said as the two walked into the blood filled asylum. Bodies of both Guards and doctors lay lifeless around the asylum. Some with the mischievous smile plastered on their face, others were in a cowering position or were stabbed. Batman and Robin simultaneously turned on their detective modes and scanned the area for survivors. Batman took the criminally insane wing as Robin took the solitary confinement wing. As batman's eyes panned over the blood painted wing, he got a call over the communicator.
"hey, Batman. I found someone near solitary. She isn't hurt." Robin informed.
"Talk to her. I'll be right over." Batman replied. Robin bent down to the cowering doctor.
"Miss? Are you okay?" Robin said in a soft voice. The woman looked up with eye makeup running down her pale white face. He gasped as her eyes met the Boy Wonder's.
"Robin!" she exclaimed. The Bat's ward smiled at her, letting her know that she's safe. He held out his hand gesturing to pick her up. The doctor took his hand and was brought to her feet. Just as Robin and the doctor stood up, Batman was standing over the other side of the desk she was hiding under.
"Doctor Leland, I presume?" the Dark Knight asked. The doctor nodded.
"Miss, do you know what happened here?" Robin asked. The doctor took a deep breath ready to tell them the whole story, her hands shaking as she began.
"I was waiting for Harley Quinn to come down for her appointment. The guard that was outside of my door…i…I watched him get killed by Zsasz. And he looked through the little window that was in my room, he saw me. He opened the door and slowly walked in. He cornered me. Luckily, I was able to escaped his grasp and run out of my room. I went this far only to see that the rest of the asylum was in mayhem. I hid behind this desk for about 25 minutes. Then here you are." More tears began to pour from the doctor's eyes. She smeared the makeup across her face as she wiped away the tears.
Robin looked at Batman waiting for an order.
"Take her to a therapist in Gotham." Batman said.
"What about you?" Robin asked.
"I'm calling for back up."
