Dr. Leland smiled as she looked up at miss Harleen Quinzel.

"Well I'm somewhat pleased to inform you miss Quinzel that,due to your extraordinarily impressive qualifications and references, you can get you started here as early as tomorrow, if that's okay with you."

"Of course, thank you Dr. Leland" Harleen replied.

"Please call me Joan and I expect you to report to my desk by 9am tomorrow as you'll need to be well prepared and acquainted with our facilities and staff."

"Okay Joan see you tomorrow, oh and if we're on first name basis then please call me Harley, everyone does" Harley replied as she left.


Ivy's POV

Another boring day at the asylum. Yep I've somehow ended up here again. Apparently karma's a bitch, that likes to dress up as a bat and do the work of the police.

But at least I'm not completely alone due to some big enterprise project at Arkham, even the man of steel had flown in to be part of it, however this also meant that my friend Selina is here and so I get regular visits from her to pass the time, shake the routine slightly since nothing out of the expected happens here.

We're all the same, everyone knows what to expect especially in this ward for some reason once a villain, or even hero, finds their gimmick they like to hold on to it and soon they become predictable. No matter what they do they can easily be identified just by the style of their crime whether it leaves people in fear or people laughing everyone knows who's responsible.

The lack of females doesn't particularly help either, just me and these animals. Why aren't more women passionate enough about something that they snap their mind and become bent on revenge to humanity?

Don't you ever just wish for a change of pace.


Sorry it's so short but it's more of a prologue than a chapter.
