Chapter 1 – I Believe in Harvey Dent
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain
It had been three weeks since his fall, since his world had been changed forever. He and Rachel had been kidnapped and then Gotham's so called dark knight had turned up to save him; HIM. Rachel, if just the Batman had saved her instead; she should have been the one alive, she should have been the one walking around instead of him. He wouldn't even care if she was smiling to that play boy; Bruce Wayne, not anymore, if just she could have been alive.
After he had threatened Gordon and his family and batman had taken him down. He had spent almost one week at a small hospital in Gotham. After that maniac clown had blown up the biggest Hospital in Gotham all the small ones had overflowed and finding a hospital, who was willing to hold the former "White Knight", had been hard but after the first three days the police had found a small one willing to take him in and only after the police had promised to keep eyes on him.
He remembered when finding hotels was easy, everyone wanted to have Harvey Dent in one of their rooms and now he couldn't even get a hospital room. Not that it mattered; life was all about chances now.
After he had been released from Hospital he had been moved into police captivity while his trial had been going. His lawyer was incompetent, the judge too. When he had been Gotham's prime shining lawyer things had been different, but that was when Rachel was still alive.
After his trial he had been deemed emotional insane after the tragic loss of his fiancé and half of his face. They were incompetent, he wasn't emotional insane, he had been angry, none of them had ever had to listen to the person they loved the most only to hear that person die.
Chance, everything was up to chance.
It was also by chance that the exact same insane clown was now only three cells to the right from his own. He could hear him laughing and when he wasn't laughing he was speaking loud, yelling stupid jokes or talking about how Batman completed him, he sounded like a jealous ex-lover. When they had cafeteria time the clown would seek him out and just laugh in Harvey's face. They want to choke him.
He had been speaking to Jonathan Crane or the Scarecrow as he called himself now; he too disliked the clown and the great dark knight of Gotham. They had been speaking fine for the first days until that stupid bag of straw talked bad about his Rachel. Next time he saw him, it was three days later and he had his arm in a sling.
He didn't speak to Harvey again.
That was about then he began to arrive to Arkham. He always had a sad look on his face when he saw him now. Every time that billionaire play-boy arrived he would be reminded of the life he used to have. He would always end up yelling at the billionaire; however, no matter how much he would yell at the Gotham's golden child he would return the next day.
The whole of Gotham had given up on Harvey Dent.
Except for Bruce Wayne.
Somehow Harvey just knew, Bruce Wayne would always return.
AN:
- This will be a Harvey/Bruce SLASH… eventually… Just Harvey is emotional right now... And he is damn hard to write… I hope he's not too OOC, because if they are to get some sort of relationship they will be OOC at some point.
- first chapter is somewhat short.. but the story is just beginning. I will work on making the chapters longer. I just needed a starting point.
