***Hello Everyone! This is my first attempt at a fan fiction on this site and I'm super excited for the outcome! Please let me know in the reviews how the story is progressing, and what you would like to see in the chapters to come! My goal for this is to write a chapter a week (dates liable to change lol)***


A seagull flies above the roaring seas, each wave threatening to touch his underside. Undeterred, he flies higher, scoping the waves for a place to rest. He feels the lightning before he sees it, slightly puffing up in fear as the white flash passes by him, followed by a clap of thunder. Still searching, the gull sees an island up ahead in the storm, and banks towards it.

As the gull flies over the island, he notices a large, dark stone structure of some kind, similar to the cathedrals he sees on the main island. It is surrounded on all sides by a metallic gate, the gates hissing slightly when the rain touches. He glides towards a hole near the top of the structure, safely landing in a dark crevice.

As he is drying himself off, the gull notices that the humanoid voices have changed underneath him from sounds of anguish and pain, into one collective voice of fear and anger. He looks towards the gates as they open, letting four mysterious figures in, and then shutting with a clang. The gull thinks nothing of it, and promptly falls asleep.

But to the prisoners and guards inside, it is a big deal. It is the legendary Batman, escorting one of the most dangerous criminal sidekicks, Harley Quinn, to the Gotham Asylum. To the left of her, Commissioner Jim Gordon keeps a tight hand on her forearm, much to her displeasure.

"Careful, pudding. I bruise easily, and Joker won't like it if I arrive all black and blue." Harley giggles. Commander Gordon looks at her with disgust and motions to Harley's right.

"Watch her over there, Officer. I know you tracked her down, but this isn't any ordinary criminal. This is Harley Quinn, Joker's number one. We can't have her getting loose." Gordon says. The mysterious officer nods slowly, his police hat obscuring his face, his gloves gripping Harley's arm tighter, causing a grimace of malice and pain to go across Harley's face.

"Not much of a talker is he?" says a gravelly, rough voice behind Gordon. He turns to see the Dark Knight peering over at the officer, suspicion in his dark eyes. Gordon leans towards Batman. "Not right now, but it is mainly because he recently lost his partner. I would just leave him be, I've seen what that does to a man."

Before he could say anything else, the main doors open and the young doctor Penelope Young walks towards them, her hair pinned up in a tight bun, glaring at them over her glasses, with a team of medics following her steps.

"We'll prepare her for questioning." Taking Harley from Gordon and the officer, they roughly strap Harley to a standing gurney. As they drag Harley away, she winks at the imposing men and says, "I'll see you later, pudding!"

The three men walked down a hallway and turned down a corridor full of inmates. Many of the convicts started screaming and yelling, throwing insults at Batman.

"Here, Batty, Batty! Swing!"

"Look at me! I'm so tough in my suit of Spandex!" Laughs were heard all around and Batman grit his teeth, but kept walking.

One prisoner throws his shoe at Batman, but misses. The shoe hits Gordon on the side of his face near his ear. He puts a hand over the cut as the blood streams down his jawline. The prisoners start to laugh, but gradually go quiet as a dark shadow approaches the gloating criminal.

All of a sudden, hands reach through the bars and grips the prisoner by the collar. They force him up into the air and slam him into the bars again and again. The man's terrified eyes follow the dark gloved hands upwards into the cold eyes of the Dark Knight.

"Please sir! I didn't mean no harm!" He begs with a deep southern accent, but his words fall on deaf ears. Gordon and the officer frantically try to pry the Batman's arms out of the bars and off of the prisoner to no avail.

Stronger arms come and help Gordon detach Batman from the cowering prisoner. Doctor Young walks up to them, and giving them a stern look, says, "She's ready."

The group walks through many convoluted corridors and twisting turns before stopping at a door labeled 'Do Not Enter Without Checking With Supervisor'. Doctor Young looks at Gordon, who nodded. She knocks on the door, and with a resounding click, Batman, Gordon, and the officer are ushered inside the gleaming room, before shutting with a harsh slam behind them.

The room is windowless, save for a large one-way mirror on the wall. The blank grey walls surround a steel table and two chairs, bolted to the ground. The table has a large hook poking through the underside, to which a pair of handcuffs are looped through. At the end of the handcuffs is Harley Quinn, staring at the three men with a grin on her face and a sly look in her eyes.
