As the weeks passed the patients started to accept me more as their own, not fully but it was better than when I first came here. However, some of the more mentally unstable patients did not trust me such as Baine. The more intelligent patients such as The Riddler were trying to figure me out and see if I was one of them. As I sat picking at my breakfast one morning, I looked around to observe everyone. The Joker was not in yet, of course, he never came straight away. I still hadn't figured out where he went or what he was doing but I figured I'd find out eventually. But I noticed a shadow over my table and looked up and found Two-Face and The Riddler standing over me.

"Yes?" I piped.

"We're curious about you…" Two-Face said.

"Why?"

"Because I know the Joker doesn't trust anyone as quick as he seemed to trust you."

"How do you know he trusts me?"

"Because we had a poker night the other night and he was ranting about you." the Riddler growled.

"Really? That doesn't sound like him."

"I know!" they both said leaning over the table.

I retreated, feeling somewhat intimidated.

"So what's your deal? You trying to cuddle up to the Joker? Why?"

"You know Quinn wont like that." tutted the Riddler.

"Listen, I am not trying cuddle up to anyone! I'm just stuck here until they let me go."

They both looked at each other and laughed.

"I don't believe you."

"Why do you guys care anyway?"

"We don't, we just like messing with the Joker's plans that all."

They were both confusing me and giving me a headache.

"Whatever." I said as I slumped back in my chair.

Suddenly Two-Face leapt across the table and pinned me up against the wall, his severely scarred face right next to mine.

"Listen to me, the boys and me have been talking and we decided we don't trust you and our plans may be in danger with little ears around." he said pushing my hair behind my ear.

"Hey! What's going on?" I heard a booming familiar voice.

Suddenly the Joker just appeared and pulled Two-Face off me and started brawling. Riddler, of course, just stood there occasionally glancing at his pocket watch. Two Arkham guards pulled them away finally and threatened to sedate both of them if they didn't stop.

"Enough! Stop you two!" the guards roared. Of course all the patients were crowding around because that was probably the most exciting thing that has ever happened in Arkham.

"Joker…" said Two-Face before he was hauled out of the mess hall. "Watch that one." he said pointing to me.

The Joker was pulled out the other door and thrown back into the cells I'd imagine.

Harley then approached me as I tried to regain myself from the shock.

"Wow…" she squeaked. "Mista J never stuck up for me like that."

"I'm sure that's not true." I said not really listening to Harley.

"It's true!" she whined. She began to sob to herself and I was just in no mood to hear this.

"Pull yourself together woman!" I boomed. A hush suddenly fell over the room.

"Have some pride for the love for the God!"

Harley looked at me and her pout turned into a vicious smirk.

"I know you are after my Mista J!" she suddenly squealed.

"O please!"

She jumped on me and threw punches at me and I could feel my face beginning to swell.

"Get the fuck off me!" I shouted as I punched her in the stomach and retaliated.

"Don't worry if I have my way you wont live to see Mista J and his fantastic plan!"

My ears immediately pricked up. But just as she finished her sentence she knew she had said too much.

Suddenly two guards arrived and started pulling me off her, but I didn't mind now, I knew the Joker had something planned and I was on the cusp of being involved.

When I was thrown back into my cell, I saw the Joker was already in his cell lying there whistling to himself. I threw myself on my bed and feeling my face starting to bruise. But I knew now I had to get the Joker to involve me in this plan but I was unsure about whether to tell him that I knew and that Harley had told me. That day was a very special day in Arkham, it was library day. This happened only a few times a year. We were all to go during different time slots. It was a very complex system apparently but watching the inmates I soon discovered the pattern. The first set of inmates that were allowed go where the high maintenance patients such as Croc, Bane and Clay face. Next some of the villainesses' such as Poison Ivy, Livewire and Catwoman. I was surprised they didn't let Harley go since she was friends with Ivy. And I wondered why I wasn't allowed go either. Next was the turn of The Penguin, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze and the Riddler. After them, it was my turn and just as I suspected The Joker was released alongside me but then out came Harley Quinn along with Scarecrow.

"Mista J!" she squealed. "Wait what's she doing here?" she said disgusted that I was there.

"Harley shut up and walk." growled the Joker. We were brought from the VO ward, cuffed and brought into the elevator. There some other inmates from the less extreme wards were brought with us but they kept to themselves. Dr. Crane caught up with me as I walked.

"Tell me my dear…" he purred in my ear. "What are you afraid of?"

"Not you" I snapped pushing him into the wall.

A few weeks ago I would have not been able to stand up to anyone let alone Dr. Crane. He growled slightly and dragged behind Harley. The Joker didn't talk to me as we walked to the library which I thought was odd but I figured he had his reasons. When we got to the library, I was taken by surprise. It was an amazing library. I mean compared to the rest of Arkham, the library was extremely modern. You wouldn't think you were still in Arkham. It was a round room and every floor had a stairs leading up to the next floor. Up the very top, a beautiful chandelier. Book cases surrounded every inch of the walls on every floor and every floor was dedicated to a different section. Beside the door, a tall wooden plaque stood which explained what topic or genre of book was on what floor. Everyone split up, some going to different floors, other's who were less interested in books sat by the door waiting to be returned to their cell. I saw that the History section was located on the sixth floor so I started ascending the stair cases. As I walked I noticed the sections that seemed most popular. The English section and the Technology section had the most people around them. I kept walking until I reached the History section which was dark and dusty. It looked like no one had ventured up here in years. I began researching books regarding the World Wars. I was only there about ten minutes and had only picked up a few books when I heard a creak around the other side of the round floor. I looked over and saw The Joker watching me. I just turned back around thinking that if he wanted something he would come over. Still sensing him looking at me, I turned around but there was no one there.

"Follow me." I heard from the other side of me.

I jumped with fright but he didn't move, just looked at me waiting for me to move.

"Why?"

"Don't question it, just do what I tell you." he growled quietly.

He turned to walk away and I followed glancing down to see the guards still standing downstairs oblivious to us upstairs. He felt along the bookcases searching for something. Then he rubbed his hands together and pulled on the book case pulling it out slightly. He glanced down at the guards and walked into the shadows waiting for me to follow. I did and we arrived in a little room and the light buzzed on as he pulled the bookcase closed.

"So…what's going on?" I said my voice somewhat shaky.

"Listen I need you to do something for me."

"Why me?"

"Because you're a girl and this a girls task."

"Get Harley to do it." I snubbed.

He giggled slightly and approached me.

"I don't trust Harley. I never trusted Harley. I want someone new, who I can trust." he said cocking an eyebrow towards me.

"Ok…what is it?"

"I need you to seduce this guard…" he started.

"Ha! You want me to what? I can't seduce anyone!"

It was true, men and getting men into bed was never my speciality.

"O please! I'm sure you're able to whore yourself up when you want" he winked. "And with that arse you should be fine!"

"I think Harley is more inclined towards this…"

"Listen you want to be in my team or what?"

"Of course I do, you know I do Joker but I cant do that."

"Please call me Mr. J"

"Ok…Mr. J." I smiled.

A muffled bell came from outside signalling the end of our session in the library. He sighed angrily and went to open the bookcase and glanced quickly to make sure no one was there.

"C'mon."

I rushed to his side and walked out. The guards were rounding up the inmates and were getting anxious that the Joker was missing.

"We'll talk again…" he said before walking around the other side and down the stairs.

I raced around the other side with my books and down to where the guards breathed a sigh of relief seeing the Joker back without causing trouble.

"Mista J how do you like my new design on the Arkham uniform?" Harley gleamed, making sure I could hear her. She had clearly just ripped the top and made it extremely low cut to attract the Joker. He looked her up and down and mumbled "Looks the same" before walking on. Harley looked like she was about to burst into tears. Scarecrow on the other hand noticed and went over sniffing Harley's hair while he talked. She merely squealed and ran up the front where two guards were until we got back to our cells.

That evening, I spent my time reading the books I had managed to get from the library. It felt like I was back home reading about History. It was my one hobby that I loved. I didn't realise what time it was until the guard came around and turned off the lights.

"Hey!" I protested.

"Sorry following orders sweet cheeks!" he winked shining the flashlight in my eyes. I sat in a huff on my bed but decided to lie down. I watched the three change of guard and guessed it was around four in the morning. I was just drifting off to sleep when I heard my door opening. I looked around and adjusted to the dark when I saw it was the Joker.

"Butcher! Psst! Butcher! Get up quickly! We don't have much time the guard might wake up!" he hissed in the dark.

I got off my bed and he grabbed my arm and pulled me out the door. We ran through the main corridor of VO ward while the other patients snoozed away. Most of the guards were asleep at their posts. We stopped to catch our breath at a dark corner.

"Where…where are going?" I whispered.

But before he answered my question we were back running now in a section of the asylum I've never been in before. We reached a room that was marked private but he jiggled the handle and the door opened.

"Ok…" he started in a normal tone while closing the door. The light hurt my eyes and I squinted in pain and had to open them gently to adjust to the light. He sat me down opposite him and looked me dead in the eyes. "Now we're gonna discuss the plan."

"Plan?" I said playing dumb. "What plan?"

"My plan" he said simply.

"What's the plan for?" I questioned.

"The plan to take over the asylum" he grinned.

I grinned at him and he chuckled slightly. My promotion was now in sight.

"Really?" I said quite interested now.

"Yes…you and I are going to take over Arkham."

The smile died on my face. "What?" I said flatly.

"Yea I was going to let Harley in on it…but she's a bit clumsy, good kid but gets distracted very easily but she was the best of a bad bunch…but then when you arrived I saw a possible new assistant and decided to put the plan to rest for a while and see if you were trustworthy and I figure you are." he grinned. "So I want you to be involved."

A sudden wave of guilt washed over me as I looked into his eyes which were filled with evil thoughts and plans. I only noticed now his hands were resting on mine across the table.
