Edit: 12/12/15 I read it back through and noticed I missed how Mystery sees Edward.
Chapter 4
Mystery looked at Ivy in shock; she had not realised how obvious her feelings towards Edward were.
"Oh god Ivy I see him as a farther; I love him but not like I did my boyfriend. how long have you known?" Mystery whispered back.
"Two days, since Harley attacked you. It isn't that obvious to the others because they didn't see Edward's reaction when Harley attacked you. He cares for you, when you were in hospital he paced his cell every second of the day." Ivy replied in a whisper. The pair had been keeping their voices down so that the doctors in the observation room could not hear them.
"Ivy, I need to tell you something. I idolised Eddie before I was incarcerated at Arkham; I followed his crimes closely but I never thought I would meet him. I was bullied for being smart at school but I never stood up until two months ago when I lost it at my care home then again at school the day before I met Eddie." Mystery explained. Ivy and Mystery sat there in silence for a few minutes but then the guard came to take Ivy back to her cell. Mystery sat on the sofa her eyes locked onto the TV; however she was not paying attention to the fact that a guard had entered the room and walked over to her. He held out some hand cuffs, getting ready to take Mystery back to her cell. Mystery, on the other hand, was not prepared to return to her cell.
"Come on, Storm. Back to your cell." He said calmly.
"My name is not Storm." Mystery said through her teeth as she stood up from the sofa. "I AM MYSTERY!" instead of fighting Mystery held out her hands and accepted the cuffs. They walked back to her cell slowly even though the guard was trying to make her walk faster by dragging her but it was to no affect. Mystery was shoved back into her cell and she went and sat on her bed. Her hand sat in her lap; her palms facing upwards.
-?-
"The feeling's mutual, Mystery." Somebody said with a slight laugh. The voice jerked Mystery out of her day dream.
"Who's there?" Mystery exclaimed with a tone of shock in her voice; as she spoke she bolted from sitting on her bed to standing.
"I'm in our head, Mystery. It's Storm the real owner of this body." Storm replied with a sarcastic tone. Mystery blinked as a hallucination of a girl identical to Mystery except the girl did not have the two long cut across her face; she was in a matching Arkham uniform.
"You're not really there are you?" Mystery asked as she sat back down even though she already knew the answer. Storm shook her head.
"I'm a hallucination and you're responding to me." Storm replied with a smirk then she walked over to the bed and sat down next to Mystery. "Nobody else can see me, only you."
"What was it that you said earlier? 'The feeling's mutual.' What did you mean by that?" Mystery asked in a quiet whisper.
"Your feelings reflect mine, Mystery. You're not entirely your own person our feelings are the same." Storm explained. Footsteps echoed along the corridor and Mystery's attention was drawn away from Storm for a moment but when she looked back Storm was gone. The guard walked past her cell and glared; Mystery returned the glare as the guard walked of. He must have heard her talking.
-?-
For the next two weeks all Mystery did was sleep, eat, go to therapy sessions and talk to Edward in the recreation room. This became a regular routine for her until her last therapy session.
"Interview number 12, Patient's name is Storm Connors also known as Mystery. So Storm I notice you have been getting along with Ivy recently especially since Harley attacked you. You have also grown closer to Edward, is there anything you would like to share?" Doctor Morgan asked after she had switched on the tape recorder.
"My name is not St… oh I give up I say that every interview and you still call me Storm. I'll answer your question Edward and I are friends. Nothing more." Mystery sighed even though she lied about her and Edward.
"Well, look at that you finally responded to your real name." Doctor Morgan expressed with a slight smile. "You are going to have to get used to responding to your real name…"
"What do you mean by that?" Mystery asked in an uninterested tone.
"You were never meant to be sent into Arkham City, unfortunately Hugo Strange wanted you to go in to Arkham City. The government has agreed to release you and unfortunately for Gotham most of the other Arkham inmates on to the streets of Gotham. You will be released next week." The doctor explained as she flicked through her notes. Mystery sat in her chair looking at her hands which had been balled up in fists; however she could not move her hands due to the handcuffs. Mystery rolled her head to get rid of the cramp that had started and winced in pain. Doctor Morgan looked up from her notes noticing the bruising on Mystery's neck.
"I see the bruises are still there. Harley has a tight grip doesn't she Storm?" Doctor Morgan asked.
"Yeah. It hurts. I thought she was going to kill me." Mystery replied, her tone of voice had changed as if she was becoming interested for the first time. The doctor looked at her watch then sighed before speaking
"I am afraid that is it for your last session. You have become more cooperative today it was just a shame it was your last session. Thank you Storm, have a good week.
