Hello *waves shyly* I am Lady Ghost.

This is my first story in the world of Gotham (with a few changed parts). It's the fourth part in the story of Cara, but you don't have to read any of the others, for this to make sense. But if you read it for Cara's sake, I will warn you and tell you that this is a bit different. Cara isn't the main character here. Oswald and Edward are the main focus, it doesn't mean that Cara won't have a part in the story, but I am just warning you that this is a bit different.

This story take place after the one about Cara and Loki, and Gotham was the world Cara was in before Thor "kidnaped" her. And you will get flashbacks from how it all started, but I will not write a story about what happened at the beginning. I can tell you that Cara enter the world of Gotham around season 1, and she leaves the world around season 2. So the things that happens in season 3 and parts of the 4th, she isn't there. And this story takes part after that. Something's has happened as it does in the show, but not everything. You will most likely notice what has happened and not. I can tell you that Gordon and Lee are together, and the whole splitting up thing, never happened!

I wanted to have Harley Quinn in the story, and not as Barbara, she is more based on the tv-show/ comic character, just letting you know. The Joker is more like the comic version, so he is not Jerome! See them as two different characters!

As always, English isn't my first language, so I do apologise for any grammatical and spelling misstake.

I hope you enjoy this story :)

Oswald looked down at his kingdom, the dark gloomy streets of Gotham, he was once again at the top, where he belonged. He had raised and felt more than once, and in the end people recognised who he was, he was the king, the king of Gotham, and no one doubt it anymore. And every king had a queen by his side, and his queen was Edward Nygma. The most brilliant man he had ever known, and one of the few people who saw him for who he really was, and understood him. That was just one problem with that picture, his queen was missing.

"I want him find!" Oswald suddenly shouted as he turned around to face those who were gathered around him. Most of them jumped, not knowing what their king may do, now when his queen was gone. Okay, Oswald needed a new title for Ed, knowing he would not appreciate to be called a queen, but that was a matter for another time.
"We have searched everywhere boss" Gabe said, and Oswald turned towards him. The man wasn't named Gabe, but he reminded him of that traitor's behaviour, so Oswald had named him Gabe two. And also called him Gabe, as an reminder of that anyone can betray you, at any time.
"Then search everywhere again!" he ordered. "Turn down every building if you have too, just find him!"
"Yes boss" Gabe answered as most of them men cleared out the room.
"Butch!" Oswald said and the larger man stepped forward. "Turn upside down on every parasite in this town, someone knows where Ed is! Take Tabitha to help if you need"
"Will do" Butch smiled as he looked at Tabitha, who didn't answer, she only followed Butch as he left the room.

"Here Pengy" Ivy placed a cup of something on the table.
"My name is not Pengy" he shouted and threw the cup of the table.
"Hey!" Ivy said, very unpleased with his behaviour.
"I can take it from here" a voice sounded from the dark, making the people still left in the room, to turn in that direction, raising their guns.
"Who the hell are you?" Selina asked, as an unfamiliar woman walked up towards them, not bother by the fact that she had guns pointed at her.
"Cara" Oswald shouted and walked passed them all, and to everyone's surprise, hugged the woman. No one, except Edward got to hug Oswald, and here he was, willingly, hugging a stranger to them all, and she hugged him back. "Ed is gone"
"I got your message" she answered him in a low voice. Oswald let his head rest against her shoulder, feeling some sort of security, or maybe even hope, now that she was here. "But I think you may own your friends here an explanation."

Oswald turned around, seeing how the people left in the room, was looking at him.
"Everyone this is Cara, she's an old friend" he explained "Cara, this is everyone"
"Nice to meet you" she waved at them.
"Lower your guns!" Oswald shouted, when none of them had done so. "She is here to help us find Ed!"
"How do you know her?" Selina stepped forward, studying the Cara, who didn't react to it at all.
"We used to be lovers" Cara answered, which made all of them drop their chins, before Cara started to laugh. "That was a merely a joke, but good to know what you think about that. I befriended Edward when I first got to Gotham, years ago. And if you are friends with Ed, you become friends with Oswald"
"Thank god it was a joke" Barbara was relived, but those words made Oswald give her a cold look. "What? We have had enough problems with you and Nygma"
"Problems?" Cara asked, and Oswald met her eyes. He was far from sure how she should react, when she heard his and Ed's story.
"We have some catching up to do. You have been gone for two years after all" Oswald signed for her to step further into the room.
"Sounds like it" Cara admitted and stepped out of the darkness completely. The others got a look at her for the first time. She was a tall, pale, blonde and a very beautiful woman, around her thirty.
"Get us something to drink" Oswald instructed one of the staff members, before he turned towards Cara. "I shall start from the time you left."

"And I thought I had my hands full" she said towards Oswald when he went silent. Oswald had told her the story about everything since the time she left them. How he had become mayor, how he realised he loved Ed, Isabella's involvement, his and Ed's intention to kill each other, how the dispute went on for almost a year, until they found each other once more. How they had fallen in love, and how Edward had ruled Gotham beside him, and how he now was gone. And Cara had listened, only interrupted him when she had a question, and from what he could tell, she did not judge him for his actions towards Ed. Something he had been alarmed that she may do, being Ed's friend to start with. But to his surprise she had been more understanding then he thought she would.

"I need your help finding him" Oswald looked at her and she took his hands.
"We will find him, and when we do, the ones who took him will pay" Oswald knew that the ones who took Ed would pay more than well. Cara was protective of her friends; he had seen what she had done to people who mistreated Ed in the past.

"Thank you"
"What aren't friends for, if not turning a city upside down, and killing people who gets in your way?" she asked with a light tone.
"Yes what aren't friends for, if not that?" Oswald said, feeling a small smile on his lips, the first one in days. Since Edward had disappeared he hadn't been able to smile, relax or stop worry, but the woman in front of him, made him do all three. It was like something told him it would be alright, now when she was here. Someone who may not know Cara, may say it was a ridicules idea, even impossible. But Oswald knew the blonde before him, and he knew that Ed would be found, with her help.

"How rude of me, I haven't asked what you have been up to. All well I hope?" Oswald looked at her, and Cara gave him a relaxed smile.
"Do to the circumstances, I give you a pass. And not much. I saved an old partner of mine from his torturing, sexual abusive, god, to father. Reunited him with his children, gave him back his family, got married to him, and got two children at the process. You know, normal stuff"
"For you it may be just that, normal" Oswald said in a light voice. The others, who were sitting at the bar, didn't understood the woman's words, or how Oswald could see it as normal. Normally not liking people who avoided giving him an answer.
"We can talk more about that another time. As for now, we need to find Edward" Cara stood up, and Oswald did the same. "But you dear friend need to sleep first"
"You… are you telling me to sleep? Now? When Edward are still missing?" Oswald couldn't help himself from sounding surprised.
"I am. You are to no help if you haven't slept. And when we found Edward, my guess is that you prefer to be awake."
"I am fine here, thank you very much" Oswald insisted, and Cara raised an eyebrow.
"We can do this the easy way, where you go to bed on your own. Or we do it the more annoying way, where I knock you out, and need to carry you to bed" Oswald gave her a daring look, and she smiled a cocky smile. "Don't test me Oswald, we both know how it will end"
Oswald was more than aware that she would have no problem on knocking him out, that didn't change the fact that he liked to take orders.
"You are lucky that we are friends" Oswald said and Cara nodded.
"That I am, and that's also why I care about your health. Go to bed now, and I will try to find something about Ed's whereabouts" Oswald grabbed his cane as he left the room.

"Who the hell are you, lady?" Selina asked once more, stunned by the fact that the unfamiliar woman had managed to get Oswald to bed, something none of the others had been able to do.
"I am an old friend" the woman gave them all a smile.
"Do you have perfume that can control people too? Making them do what you ask for?" Ivy asked, almost in a hopeful way.
"What? No" Cara looked surprised by the question, and that was understandable. "We are merely friends, Oswald knows I have his best in interest, and that I would be able to knock him out."
"Whoever you are, thank you. He has been a pain the last couple of weeks. He has refused to go to bed, falling asleep at the table. He barely eats, and he is losing control over his kingdom again" Selina informed the stranger, guessing it wasn't something she would figure out, or already know, depending on how long she had been in Gotham.
"Let's prevent that from happening" Cara looked at them. "I have some people I need to talk to, hopefully I can still do so. Two years are a long time to be gone"
"I want to come" Selina stated and Barbara stepped up next to her, she wanted learn more about the blond stranger, who just had entered there life, and could order Oswald around, she could be useful, if she was played right.
"Then let's go"

"Why are we here?" Barbara looked at the black door, laid number 30. Barbara had been here before, once or twice, and it wasn't pleasant. The apartment was placed in one of the highest buildings in town, since it was a penthouse it was the only one on the floor. Barbara had been surprised to see that the new woman knew the code to the building, but she had said she knew people back in the days, and it was a possibility that she knew who ever lived here back then.
"Do you even know who this apartment belongs to?" Selina asked, looking at Barbara, both of them not to happy to be here.
"I do, I own it" Cara answered as she was about to open the door.
"You own it?" Barbara asked, not hiding her surprise. "Fine whatever, do you know who lives here now?"
"Hopefully Harley" Cara looked at them, before she opened the door. The other two women were wondering what kind of person hoped to see Harley Quinn.

As they entered the apartment, it looked like it had done the last time Barbara was there. It was stuff everywhere, all from toys, to stolen goods, and weapons. Clothes were scattered all over the floor, together with makeup, and things Barbara preferred not to know what it was. She saw traces of dogs, especially muddy pawns all over the floor, and what had been a classy apartment once, now looked like a dump. Barbara turned to study the owner to see how she reacted, but Barbara forgot to look when she saw Harley's hyenas standing there, growling. The two animals slowly walked towards them, clearly not wanting them there. Selina tried to hide behind Barbara, more than unpleased to be near the dogs.
"Hello, you have grown" Cara hunch down, and her voice seemed to trigger something at the hyenas, who suddenly rushed forward to the blonde, and started to lick her in the face. "I have missed you too"
"Who's there?" Barbara looked up when the all too familiar voice of Harley Quinn sounded from above, standing on the second floor, looking down at them.
"Hello Harley" Cara stood up, still patting the dogs, who was acting like angels, something neither of them had seen them do around anyone, except their owner. Without a sign or a sound, Harley jumped down at them, and tackled the blonde, Cara seemed to be prepare for it, and landed somewhat smoothly on the ground.
"You left me! YOU LEFT ME! How could you? How dare you come back here?" Barbara couldn't remember a time she had seen Harley this angry, sitting on top of the other woman, holding her to the floor, screaming at her.
"I have missed you too Harley" Cara answered as she broke free with ease, and sealed Harley's lips.

Barbara stared at them, and Selina only did the same.
"What's going on?" Selina asked when Harley and Cara suddenly laughed, as they were standing up.
"We are laughing silly" Harley told and Selina was about to say that wasn't what she meant, but not knowing what Harley may do, she stayed quiet.
"Harley and I used to date" Cara explained, as Harley nodded, happily.
"Why are you back? Not that I complain"
"Are you sure? You pushed me down quite hard"
"No I didn't, I saw you break the fall, don't lie to me" Harley laughed as she looked at Cara.
"I tried to be nice, but fine, it wasn't that hard" Cara admitted, before she got serious. "Edward's missing, I need to find him."
"Eddie's missing?" Neither Barbara or Selina expected to hear concern in Harley's voice.
"He is, I need your help to find him!"
"Of course Pumpkin" Harley cupped Cara's chin, and slowly stroked her lips. "What do you need"
"From you? I need to find out if he is in Arkham" Cara told her honestly.
"Don't think we already looked there?" Barbara asked, only to find Harley turning towards her.
"Now you ruined the moment!" Harley went for her gun, but Cara grabbed her hand.
"Let's not start killing each other" Barbara was on the brink to answer that Harley started it, very childish, but she couldn't help it. But the look Cara gave her, made her stay quiet. "Harley can you come up with a way for me to get into Arkham?"
"I will come up with the best way!" Harley smiled a creepy smile and Cara rolled her eyes as a response.
"Next, I will talk to the police"
"Are you going to do everything we already has done?" Barbara asked, wondering why Penguin thought that this woman would find Ed, if she did what they already had done.
"You haven't found Edward yet, so if I need to, I will do everything you already has done" Cara started to leave the apartment, when Harley jumped on her back, piggyback, and all Cara did was adjust her, so she could carry the other woman.
"Bud, Lou, come" Harley looked at the dogs who walked after them.

"Hello Harvey" Harvey almost dropped his coffee, when a voice, coming from the shadows, talked to him.
"Damn it woman! Are you trying to get me a heart attack?" he spouted as he turned around, to see a face he hadn't seen in years. "I should have known it was you Cara"
"Guess you should have"
"What are you even doing here? You disappear for two years, and then you just step out from the dark like that" Harvey studied her, only to find that she wasn't alone. "Great, you brought the freaky doctor, the cat and the crazy bitch"
"Nice to see you too, Harvey" Barbara gave the least friendly smile she could towards the cop.

"Actually, I only brought the freaky doctor. The other two followed me from Oswald's place"
"Fuck, this is about Nygma, I should have known" Harvey was far from pleased by that. For him, Nygma could die and he would not care at all. But Penguins rampage around town to find the idiotic killer had started to be a problem.
"You know I always cared about Edward"
"For reasons I will never understand. What do you want?"
"Despite finding him. I want some files about him, Penguin and their enemies. And making sure the GCPD doesn't have him"
"You think I would tell you if we did?" Harvey tried, but only got a smile from Cara.
"Don't do that Harvey, I thought we were friends. I would hate to make a fuse about this, for both you, and Gordon" Cara looked up behind him "Hi Jim. I heard you are acting captain now, congratulations"

"Cara" Jim almost grunted when he saw her. He had far from missed her. She was the nicest of the villains they ever encountered, and technically she hadn't been convicted to anything, and Jim doubted they ever would be able to either. But it was something about her that was utterly creepy.
"Ed?" he asked and she nodded. Jim should have known she would get involved in it. Even if she had disappeared for two years, for unknown reasons, something like this would make her come back.
"I am just here to make sure you don't have him"
"Oswald has already asked" Jim tried and Cara smiled towards him.
"Both you and me know you have no problem lying for Oswald. So, just as I said to Harvey, make it easier for all of us, and let me make sure you don't have him. Trust me, you will not like to meet me, if I figure out you have lied to me"
"Threating us?"
"It's a friendly warning" Jim wasn't happy to hear how easy she said those words, and he wasn't sure what she could do to them, but he bet it was something good.
"What will you do for us, if we help you" Harvey asked.
"I will stop Oswald from tearing the city apart"
"Will you tear it apart instead?" Jim met her ice blue eyes, feeling a shiver through his body.
"If I wanted to do it, I would already have done it. No I want to have a city to live in. So can I get some help to find a missing friend detectives?"
"That would be our pleasure ma'am" Harvey looked at her, but he soon got a cold look back.
"Don't try to be cleaver Harvey"
"They stay here!" Gordon pointed at the other three women and Cara looked at them.
"That may be for the best"
"But Pumpkin…" Harley started, but Cara placed a kiss on her lips.
"Help me figure a way into Arkham, and I will soon be back"
"Arkham?" Harvey asked and Cara turned towards him.
"Pretend you didn't hear that, and if the alarm rings, take your time" Cara instructed them. Harvey met Jim's look, not liking the hearing of it. "I will not break anyone out. I will only look for Ed."
Neither of the detectives answered her as they jumped inside the car, together with Cara, and drove towards the station.

"Cara?"
"Hello Lee" the woman answered and turned her blue eyes towards her, with a small smile, before she returned towards the reports.
"She's looking for Nygma" Harvey informed Lee, and she didn't know how to react at that fact. Lee was far from happy with Ed since he had framed Jim, but it was a dark city, and it was very few people she hoped to be out there, in trouble, Barbara was one of them.
"Any leads?" Lee asked and Cara shook her head.
"Not yet. I am going to Arkham after this. And if he isn't there either, well then I have a whole city to look through"
"You told us you wouldn't tear it apart" Jim gave her a near schooling look, to which Cara smiled a mocking smile.
"I am not tearing it apart, I am merely going to search it"
"How have you been?" Lee asked and Cara blinked a few times at her.
"I have been fine, a bit busy" she said and showed her the wedding ring.
"Wow it's beautiful. Who's the lucky guy?"
"Or girl? Does the person know about you and, Harley Quinn?" Harvey asked, kind of coldly.
"It's a man, named Loki, and he is aware that I have others, thank you for your concern and judging Harvey"
"Doing my job" Harvey sat down at his desk, placing his feet on it.
"They have got a lot of enemies"
"Penguin is the freaking king of Gotham, what did you expect. That freak has pissed of a lot of people. And Nygma isn't better"

"I hear anger from you Harvey" Cara only stated.
"Damn right I am angry, he killed two cops, and tried to frame Jim!" Harvey spouted at her, and Cara looked up from the reports ones more.
"I can understand your anger…" she started put Harvey grunted disagreeing "I have lost people too, and my husband was framed for murder, on some things, his own father's doing. But even if I understand it, it will not stop me from trying to find Ed, and if you stand in my way, understanding won't go far"
"You should stop threating us" Jim said in a low voice, which didn't seem to bother Cara. Lee looked at the situation, feeling that it easily could get out of hand.
"How about we leave Cara alone to read, and we go and eat something" Lee offered, and the detectives understood what Lee tried to do.
"I promise not to take anything, and if I walk somewhere where I am not supposed to be, I am sure I will be stopped" Cara didn't look up from the papers this time.
"Then it's settle. Come on boys, I am starving" Lee took Jim's hand, and walked out from the station, with Harvey after them.

The files were scattered all over the desk, files about Penguin, the Riddler, which was Edward's alias, a very fitting one, and their enemies. Despite the large number, Cara couldn't find anyone that dared to go against Oswald, at least no one that was free. It didn't eliminate the fact that it may be organized from an inmate, or that some of the villains had made a pact to target Oswald and Edward. Though none of them seemed to have the sources or the intellectual to pull even the smallest stunt towards the couple, but once again, it wasn't solid proof.

"Need any help?" a younger officer named Mark had spotted the woman, sitting at Gordon's old desk. A very good looking woman, and he would be a fool not to take the opportunity. The woman turned to face him, and he flashed her a smile.
"I need to talk with officer Yarnes" Mark blinked a few times, disappointed to hear that, before the woman grabbed a paper. "It say here, that he was the last person to see Nygma"
Mark studied the report, it stated that Yarnes has seen Nygma a few weeks ago. Mark only knew Nygma by name, he had not been stationed at the GCPD when Nygma had killed two police officers, and his girlfriend. And he didn't understand why the woman next to him wanted information about him.
"Will you help me, or shall I do it on my own?"
"I will help you" Mark finally said and went to get officer Yarnes.

"You want me to tell you about Nygma?" Yarnes didn't do any attempt on hiding his hate for the other man.
"That would have been what I asked for" the woman said, with an almost as hateful smile on her lips.
"Why?"
"All you need to know, is that Captain Gordon has given me permission to look into Nygma's disappearing, and you are the one here, who saw him last"
"Gordon said that?" Yarnes gave her a questioning look, as he seemed to think it over. "Can't tell you much. I saw him being carried by some men, into a truck. He seemed to be out of it, or maybe even dead. I didn't look closely"
"Let's hope for your sake that he isn't dead." The woman placed a finger under Yarnes chin, and made him meet her eyes. "Did you know who the men were, and anything else you can tell me about the truck?"
"I didn't know the men, but once again, I didn't look to closely. Same with the truck. But the street where I saw them snatch him, has a traffic camera."
Mark nodded before the woman even asked, seeing no harm in helping her look at the cameras.
"Follow me"
"I hope for your sake, that he is still alive" the woman said to Yarnes, who swallowed loudly, without being able to stop himself, feeling it was something about the woman's words, who made him nervous. Yarnes nodded, being the only answer he could provide, before the woman left the room with Mark.

Mark stood behind the woman, as she looked at the screen placed on the table. They had been going through almost an hour of tape, fast fording through the parts that wasn't to their interest. Mark himself, felt restlessness, but the woman hadn't complained, barely moved or done anything else then just looking at the screen. It actually made Mark a bit impressed, seeing that it was a boring job.
"Do you need something?" Mark asked as he was about to get some coffee.
"I am fine" the woman said, without looking at him. Mark wondered why she was so set on finding Nygma, she had seen his files, and it was clear that he belonged to Penguin. Maybe she was a friend of Nygma, but then she was unknown to the files, because Mark was sure that he would have remembered her face. It was a possibility that Penguin had sent her, but from the look of it, she didn't look like a detective or some other scum Cobblepot normally hire. Her motive was for him, far from clear, as he poured himself a cup of coffee, and headed back to the woman.

When he re-entered the room, he saw that she had stop fast forwarding, and looking at the moment Nygma was carried into a truck.
"You found it" Mark said, to which he only got a nodding as answerer, as the woman rewind the tape, for what he guessed wasn't the first time. Mark saw how a truck with a logo he wasn't familiar with, parked on the street. A few minutes later two, well-built men walked out from an alley, caring a clearly knocked out Nygma, between them. They opened the door, threw him in, and headed off, in the direction towards Arkham. He saw how the woman copied some parts of the tape, and printed them out. Mark leaned over her shoulder to study the photos.
"Do you recognise the logo?" Mark shook his head as an answer. He couldn't remember ever seeing it before. "I need to visit the street"
"This was weeks ago, what do you hope to find?" Mark was sceptical that it would be anything for her to find.
"I will most likely not find anything, but I still want to visit the place, if not to see if I can figure out, why Ed was even there" The woman met his eyes, for the first time in a long time, and he shrugged his shoulder, he thought she wasted her time, but he could not stop her from going. And since she called Nygma Ed, they may be friends after all.
"I can give you a ride, if you want?" Mark flashed her a smile, and she stood up, gave him a sweet smile, and for a second he felt hopeful.
"You have been to great help, but I can find my own way"
"That part of town isn't safe" Mark tried, and the woman laughed.
"I am aware, and don't you worry, if something happen, I am sure that Harley will manage to keep it under control"
"Harley? Harley Quinn?" Mark heard his own voice raise a few tonalities from the surprise. The woman only nodded, gave him a smile, before she collected her belongings and walked out from the station, leaving him puzzled, standing there.

Harley was sitting on the top of a car, watching her girlfriend walking around on the side walk.
"Why are we here?" Harley looked at the young woman, calling herself cat woman. It was a strange name, Harley thought, and not for the first time. Identify yourself with a cat, that girl may have more problem then Harley herself.
"This is where the last, known footage of Ed came from" Cara didn't take her eyes from the street. Harley watched fascinated, as she often founded herself doing. It was often the other woman did things that Harley didn't understood, but she still loved to see Cara work, surprising her over and over. Compared to Joker who far too often was displeased with her for not understanding, being in the way, asking or doing silly things, Cara never got angry at her. Harley was surprised over the patience the woman had with her, and how she even seemed pleased with Harley's action. Often feeling that Cara had picked up the pieces Joker broke, put them together and made her a better person, and that made her always wanting to help her when she could. As now, with finding Eddie.

Edward were a strange person, according to Harley, but it was Gotham, so who wasn't? But he had been a very sweet and fun person to be around, and he meant a lot to Cara, and Harley wanted to find him. Not only for her own sake, thinking of Eddie as a friend, but also to see Cara smile again.
"He was here weeks ago!" Cat pointed out, and Harley got a feeling that she was getting bored. Barbara on the other hand, hadn't said a word since they got here. Harley watched them both, not trusting either of them. Selina, because she thought herself as a resemble as a cat, and Barbara because her reputation was almost as bad as Harley's self.
"Want Bud and Lou to try to track him?" Harley ignored the young woman's complain, looking at the dogs, who seemed happy as soon as someone mentioned their name, before she looked at Cara.
"Thank you for the offer Harley" Cara gave her a smile, a smile Harley answered with an own smile. "I know that the truck was headed for Arkham. But from the information I got, Ed most likely did not make it there. And if less time had passed, I had tried to track him that way"
Harley nodded, understanding, even if she felt a bit disappointed that she couldn't do more, and it seemed like Bud and Lou felt the same.
"It's alright boys" the dogs seemed happy, when Cara wasn't disappointed at them.

"So you are just going to stare at the concrete. News flash; there is nothing there!" Cat crossed her arms, looking angry at all of them. "Fine stay here if you want"
Harley followed her, as the cat run towards a fire ladder, grabbed it and started to climb towards the roofs.
"She really needs to learn how to relax" Harley pointed out, but none of the others answered her. Barbara mostly because Harley knew she didn't like her, and Cara, because she seemed to have found something. "Pumpkin?"
Cara didn't seem to have noticed her call, as she kept walking into the alley. Harley jumped off the car and walked towards her girlfriend, feeling more overprotective then she knew was necessary. Cara could defend herself, Harley knew that, but she still wanted to make sure that she was safe, not wanting the city to take her away, and brake her to, as it had done with so many others.

Harley stopped at Cara's side, seeing how she was touching the wall, and the letters on it. Harley looked at the hasty writing, having a hard time to read the words.
"This is Ed's writing" Harley looked at Cara, taking her hand, in an attempt to let her know that she was there for her. "Thank you"
Harley felt a set of lips on her forehead, if only for a second, but it still left a smile on her lips.
"What is it saying?"
"You can see me, but you cannot touch me. With the flick of a switch, I enter your home. With another, I leave you alone. What am I?"
Of course it was a riddle, if it was Ed who wrote it, what else could it be. Harley turned towards Cara, she was almost eerie good at solving Ed's puzzles. She saw that Cara was deep in thought, and Harley threw a look at Barbara who was standing a few feet's away, but the other woman didn't seem to know the answer either.

"Can you solve it?" Barbara's voice cut the silence a few minutes later.
"I can, or I have. But I can't make any sense into it"
"Well what's the answer?" Harley wanted to know that too, but she hadn't used the pissed off voice Barbara did.
"Electricity"
"Huh?" Harley couldn't stop herself from sounding surprised, and her sound made Cara smile towards her.
"My thoughts as well. I don't know what it means. I don't know what Ed's trying to tell me"
"Great" Barbara turned around and walked towards the car.
"You will figure it out" Harley tried to be positive, feeling that Cara needed it.
"I hope I do. But for now I need to put it aside. I may understand it better if I get more information, or Oswald may be able to solve it"
"Oswald, that's a great idea. Eddie is his boyfriend after all. Maybe it's a code word of some sort"
"Maybe"
"So what are you going to do now?" Harley looked at Cara, as they walked towards the car.
"Now we are going to Arkham" Cara looked at the direction the asylum was, almost as she could see it in the distance.
"Then let's go!" Harley smiled towards Cara, as both of them entered the car.
