Haha! I was almost late with this because midterms and an anime convention but I wasn't! 50 minutes to spare!


Elizabeth was sitting against the far wall of her cell. Her arms were resting on her knees and her head down. Anyone looking in would have guessed she was a catatonic schizophrenic as still as she was.

"Hey, Grey?" Harley asked from the opposing cell. "You okay you've been sittin' like that for hours…Grey?"

Slowly Elizabeth raised her head. Her eyes were empty and lifeless.

"Elizabeth, what happened?" Harley said her accent suppressed. The clown was gone and the psychologist was back.

"He knew."

"Who knew? Knew what?"

"The Colonel…my dad…he knew I was being tortured by Cuvier."

"WHAT!?" Harley yelled launching off her bed where she had been lying and bounding over to the glass to press against it. "And he didn't help you?"

"He said he tried but he couldn't. Stupid top secret military cunts; I promised not to tell about their involvement though so don't tell anyone I said anything."

"Military? Do you mean…" Harley looked around dramatically. "A.R.G.U.S.?"

Elizabeth stared at Harley. "How the flying fuck did you know that?"

"They're jerks." Harley said her accent slipping back into place as she crossed her arms in a huff. "That Amanda Waller is such a bitch."

"No, Harley, how did you know that name?"

"Oh they sometimes take us and force us to work for them on top secret missions by planting bombs in our necks. They call the team the Suicide Squad because we're all probably going to die on the mission. But I've been on three of those babies and I'm still here! Can't kill me Waller!" Harley shook her fist at the sky.

Elizabeth stared at her. Harley seemed to have no idea how shocking what she had just said was. "Harley, did you just tell me that my father works for a sector of the military that takes Rouges, puts bombs in their necks, and forces them to go on suicide missions?"

"They do other stuff too. I know they're super interested in meta-human stuff and mutagen. I think they're working on making meta-human soldiers or somethin' like that."

With a groan Elizabeth slumped against the wall. "Fuck me, just fuck me."

"Sorry I'm not Edward."

Elizabeth ignored Harley's joke. "This is too much, this is too fucking much. If one more thing happens…if I get another piece of upsetting, shocking, or disturbing news I'm just going to lose it. I think I will actually go insane."

"Come on Grey, if ya' say that ya'll just jinx it. Ya' still need those blood test results to come back negative, remember?"

Laughing dryly Elizabeth shook her head. "Discovering I have HIV is honestly the least of my worries Harley."


Alyssa was standing on the observation deck. Once again looking down as Elizabeth fought against a pair of unfortunate citizens Cuvier had plucked from the streets. These two better than the last pair. Both larger men, one looked like he'd been living on the streets for a long time and the other looked to be a gang member of some sort for some small time punk gang. The young punk either enjoyed fighting too much or didn't understand the situation because he was taking his swings at both Elizabeth and the old hobo. The hobo was running for his life scared of getting into a fist fight. And Elizabeth…Elizabeth had given up trying to control herself.

With a low growl in her throat Elizabeth ducked under the young punk's open right swing and tackled him to the ground. She drove a knee into his stomach causing a spurt of vomit from his mouth that streamed down the sides of his face. The punk groaned the sudden retching temporarily taking the fight out of him. It was the brief pause that gave Elizabeth all the time she needed. Without hesitation she drove the heel of her palm into his nose breaking it and sending the bone up into his skull. In the corner the old hobo was crying. The noise of his sniveling brought him into Elizabeth's focus. As Elizabeth approached the last man the door to the observation deck opened.

"Disgusting isn't it?" Alyssa glanced over. It was the boy from a few days ago, the one who took her blood for tests and implied that Cuvier was his father.

"You can speak." He said resting his hands on railing.

"Yes, it is repulsive what your father is doing to her."

The boy laughed. "I'd forgotten I let that slip. You'll be pleased to know that you will survive the experiment according to my tests."

"I don't even know what you were testing." Alyssa said her jaw clenching together as Elizabeth hit the already dead hobo over and over again.

"I suppose there is no harm in telling. You see there are two kinds of meta-humans; those who have been changed through mutagen and those who have natural abilities even though sometimes those abilities require trauma to activate. You along with Miss Howard are the latter kind. In those types of meta-humans mutagen only increases the power of the meta-genes. My father's mutagen focuses on rearranging and combing DNA which without the bonding agent caused by the medication you're taking it would only destroy the cells. At most your DNA will splice with whatever animal dad decides to have bite you, perhaps you will gain its colouring like Miss Howard."

"So Elizabeth would have ended up this way no matter what?"

"Perhaps, without the trauma of the attack the genes might have sat dormant until she died."

"And I will become like her."

"Perhaps, I doubt it though. There are a variety of meta-human possibilities. You might be able to control plants like Poison Ivy or ice like Killer Frost. Who knows?"

"And what happens after that to me and Elizabeth?"

"Unknown. Whatever father wants eventually both of you will probably end up dead though."

"I assumed as much."

"If the Riddler doesn't find us first, that is."

"He is searching her then?"

"Yes."

"Why are you telling me all this?"

"Father won't listen. He's too busy torturing Miss Howard and you're the only other one around here with a measurable amount of intelligence."

"Fair enough, and seeing how it is unlikely that I am to survive may I know your name?"

"Abel Cuvier." Alyssa didn't say anything. He had told her his name. Meaning he was confident she wouldn't survive. Down in the pit Elizabeth screamed as she awaked from her animalistic state and saw what she had done.


Elizabeth was laying on her bed her head under the thin pillow blocking out the light. She had been doing so well the past couple days but she didn't deserve to do well, it was her fault. All her fault. It was her fault Alyssa was dead. If she hadn't called Alyssa, hadn't been so weak, Alyssa would still be alive. It should have been her who died. It should have been her that was buried yesterday with a funeral that went against her beliefs.

"Up inmate." A guard commanded knocking his nightstick against the glass. Slowly Elizabeth stood. She didn't feel like moving, she shouldn't be moving, she shouldn't move if Alyssa wasn't. Apparently she was moving too slow for the guard's tastes and he opened the cell door and dragged her out slapping the handcuffs on her as he went. There was another guard outside the cell handling Ivy and Harley with Elizabeth's muzzle on his work belt.

"Oi, Hayden the muzzle for this one."

"Right," Hayden replied detaching the muzzle and tossing it to Elizabeth's guard. He caught it and put it on Elizabeth with much more force than needed. Adding Elizabeth to the chain-gang the two guards ordered them out of the cell block. Elizabeth wasn't paying attention to where they were going she didn't care. She couldn't even muster up enough energy to pretend she cared. The guards stopped their chain-gang and undid the cuffs one at a time pushing them through a door when they were released. Elizabeth looked around the room they were in recognizing it instantly. This was the group therapy room. Edward was sitting across the room from the entrance arguing with Two-Face.

"The coin said we're gonna sit here Nygma."

"No, you are not sit somewhere else this seat is reserved."

"You can't reserve seats this is ridiculous. Doc, stop him." Not caring about the other Rogue Elizabeth pushed past Two-Face and took her seat next to Edward. She was already feeling a bit better. His scent was helping her come out of her slump.

"That's our seat, girl." Two-Face said both sides of his face twisted with anger.

"There are two ways this could go down." Elizabeth replied softly. "Either you sit somewhere else quietly or we get into a round of fisticuffs where I make both sides of your face match."

"Sit somewhere else Harvey or you will be restrained." Dr. Leeland said deciding to finally interrupt the argument. His face pulsating red with anger Harvey turned on his heels and stalked to the other side of the room.

"Thank you Harvey." Two-Face grumbled and crossed his arms.

"Well now that we are all seated let's get started. As you can all see, Elizabeth has joined us again and Jonathan has returned since our last meeting." Elizabeth could hear the disappointment in Dr. Leeland's voice at her being back in Arkham. "And in light of recent events I want work on building positive relationships with each other."

"What do ya' mean Doc? We all love each other?" Harley said rocking in her chair and leaning her head against Joker's arm. Joker laughed and wrapped his arm around Harley.

"Yeah Doc, we're one big happy family!"

"Speak for yourself Clown." Ivy, Two-Face, and Scarecrow said at the same time.

"As you can see everyone does not see it that way Joker; Pamela, Harvey, Jonathan would any of you like to start? You can either talk about any problems you have with others or what you like about them and we can build from there." The three Rogues looked at each other warily.

"We'll go then," Two-Face said. "We're sick and tired of everyone taking the piss out of us for the coin."

"Well if you didn't use it for the most ridiculous matters we wouldn't." Jonathan responded with a sneer. "What is next? Are you going to use it to decide to go to the bathroom?"

"That's stupid. It has nothing to do with fairness. I only use to coin to decide what's fair."

"Ridiculous half the things you use it for are not about fairness, you use it to decide what to eat first!"

"Thank you for your input Jonathan Harvey is working on lessening his dependency on his coin. Perhaps it would be good for you to support him in that." Dr. Leeland said interrupting the argument before it got too heated. Jonathan huffed and crossed his arms. "Alright anyone else like to comment; maybe with something positive this time?"

"I'll go!" Harley shouted nearly leaping into the air. "Well of course I love my Puddin' but I think all of you are peachy! Especially my girls ya'll are ballin'! Just wish ya'd open up Grey about dem bad dreams so I can help, they're keepin' us up at night."

"Lizzy!" Joker gasped looking offended, "only I'm allowed to keep Harley up at night!"

"Oh Mista J that's so sweet!"

"Sorry Harley, Ivy." Elizabeth said after Harley had stopped squealing. "But honestly you masturbating half the night to your drawings of Joker keeps me up as well. Sure girls have needs but honestly every night?"

"Well ya' can do it to a picture of Eddie! I'm not gonna stop you. It's your right! Beside I keep quiet how can ya' tell?"

"Well if the smell wasn't bad enough there's also the fact that I have enhanced hearing, I hear every slick pop and squelch of your fingers in the juices."

"Yuck! Don't say it like that! Making it sound all gross!"

"Harley, Elizabeth let us move away from the sex talk I believe you are making some of the others uncomfortable."

"Nah!" Joker chimed in, "just Jonny-boy but this is the only way that virgin is going to learn about women's parts, unless he's not interested in them of course."

"I am not gay you idiotic clown!" Jonathan exclaimed, launching himself from his seat and sticking his finger in Joker's cackling face.

"Back down Jonathan," Dr. Leeland said sharply her finger flying to the call button for the guards. Jonathan's nostrils were flared with anger but he did return to his seat. "Thank you Jonathan. Now it seems you have a problem with Joker would you like to talk about that?"

"No." Jonathan said coldly his eye trained on a still laughing Joker with murderous intent.

"Very well, is there anyone else with anything to say? Elizabeth what about you? Did you have anything else to add?"

"Not really," she sighed. As Dr. Leeland continued to speak about how building relationships with each other would help all of them Elizabeth leaned into Edward and placed her hand on his knee. He glanced down at her and wrapped his arm around her. Knowing that she had his attention she began to tap on his knee a series of dots and lines. It was Morse Code and she was telling him what had happened with her and her father after breakfast.

'Dad knew about Cuvier. Part of ARGUS.'

He replied by tapping on her upper arm. 'ARGUS dangerous. Stay away. Do not trust father.'

Their conversation didn't last long as Dr. Leeland ended the group session then. The guards came in and rounded up the Rogues. "Hang on," she said as Elizabeth was hand cuffed, "I want to speak with her privately for a minute."

The guard looked at Leeland like she was the one who was insane but conceded. Edward glanced between the Elizabeth and Leeland as he and the other Rogues were led out of the room. Dr. Leeland moved from her nice chair to one of the uncomfortable ones next to Elizabeth. The two women stared at each other for several seconds. Leeland may have wanted to speak to Elizabeth but it was Elizabeth who spoke first.

"Doctor I would like to apologize for misleading you that time we met in that café. I was already committing crimes yet you saw me as someone who had successfully been released from Arkham."

Leeland gave a small sigh but she smiled. "You do not have to apologize. If anything I should be apologizing to you for encouraging Edward's feelings towards you with those pictures we took. It is my fault he led you into crime."

Elizabeth chuckled. "I am sorry Dr. Leeland but he didn't led me into crime I was already committing them when he escaped Arkham. The pit fighting, those men on the docks they were all me."

"I see. Well that is not what I wanted to talk about. I would like to talk to you about Dr. Strange. Edward might have told you but I wanted to take you on as my patient."

"Yes, he said you did. I must say that would have been very preferable to Strange."

"Why do you say that?"

Elizabeth paused and looked around. "Is there anything in here that is recording that he might hear?"

"No," Leeland replied furrowing his eyebrows.

"Good because Strange is batshit crazy. He had some of the guards beat up Edward and I, I'm pretty sure he has an obsession with Batman, and he threatened to take away my food if I misbehave. Not to mention he's creepy as all get out, he scares me more than Jonathan."

The doctor listened attentively. Elizabeth was not worried about what she said. She felt like now, just as before, she could trust Leeland. If anyone could get her in a better position away from Strange it would be her. "What makes you claim he had you and Edward beaten?"

"Well Hatter basically told me so and the guards, Berg and Roseland by the way, mentioned that "the doctor" had told them to do it."

Leeland sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Thank you for telling me this Elizabeth. I will continue to fight for your case and if Strange ever threatens you again tell me as soon as you can. I still believe you are a good woman Elizabeth you just took a wrong turn and if I can help both you and Edward I will."

"Thank you Dr. Leeland for not condemning my relationship with Edward. It means a lot."

"Of course, as odd as it sounds I believe you are good for him and perhaps he just might be good for you."


Elizabeth and Harley stared at each other both sitting on the floor crossed legged.

"Tell me." Harley cried.

"No." Elizabeth confirmed.

"Please!"

"Why should I tell you how Edward is in bed?"

"Because I'm curious. Please!? At least tell me what games you play!"

"You have to answer a question about Joker then."

"Mista J is mine! Why do ya' want to know about him!?"

"Because I'm curious," Elizabeth mocked.

"Fine. What do you want to know?" Harley huffed crossing her arms.

"So since Joker's skin is pure white everywhere when he gets erect is his penis bright pink or red?"

Surprisingly Harley blushed. "It's a bright red and before you ask yes his pubic hair is green too!"

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. "I wasn't going to ask I assumed it was. Alright what did you want to know about Edward?"

"How is he? Like super good or is that cane really compensating for something?"

"Edward is very good, you know how he likes to solves puzzles? Well my body is a puzzle box and he knows all the right ways to open it up." Harley squealed.

"Can you two please stop talking about the oppressive men in your lives?" Ivy asked harshly finally sick of their talking.

"Oi!" Elizabeth growled. "You can call Joker oppressive but don't you dare claim Edward is the same."

Harley was just about to defend Joker when the door to their cell block opened. A guard and the ogre nurse entered. The nurse was pushing a cart with a series of needles on it. Elizabeth shivered at the sight of the needles but they were not intended for her. They stopped outside of Ivy's cell.

"Assume the position." The guard commanded. Ivy sighed and stood in corner of her cell her hands against the wall, her legs spread. Opening the cell the guard and nurse entered.

"Turn around and pull up your right sleeve." Elizabeth watched in the reflection off Harley's cell as the nurse injected Ivy with the shots. When they were done Ivy collapsed on to the ground gasping. Wide eyed Elizabeth looked at Harley who lifted a finger to her mouth telling her to be silent. The guard laughed at Ivy's reaction and both of the workers left without concern.

"What the bloody hell was that!?" Elizabeth asked as soon as the door locked behind the workers.

"Those shots suppress Ivy's powers she gets them every couple days. They always cause her to react that way."

Elizabeth paused, a thought forming in her mind. "Is it always the same guard and nurse?"

"Yeah, I swear those assholes get a kick out of it."

"And how long would it take for her powers to come back without them?"

"No idea you'd have to ask her."

"Two…hours…basic…four for…full," Ivy said between gasps.

"Two hours?" Elizabeth smiled. "I could do that."

Harley squealed once again. "Oh Grey are you thinking what I think you are thinking!?"

"Probably, it'd take a couple weeks but yeah…I could definitely do that."


Okay question time...I have no idea-oh! So a lot of casting has been happening for both the DC TV shows universe with Hawkgirl and the DC movie universe with Killer Croc and (just kill me now) Hugo Strange. But apart from Edward what villains do you want to see appear on the live action screen, preferably ones that haven't appeared before. I really want to see Mad Hatter, Grundy, Anarky, and Scarface.
