The Joker quickly got off of the bed and went to the door, but turned to face her.

"There's someone I want you to meet."

He grabbed her wrist tightly and dragged her off the bed. She landed on her feet just in time, and stumbled after him. They arrived in a rather large room with a long table in the center. Lin almost gasped when she saw who sat at the head of said table.

Harvey Two-Face stared at the Joker and his men as they shuffled in, Lin watched as his men tensed in return. The numbers were fairly even, and Lin feared what would happen if a fight broke loose.

Harvey's face had the Joker's scars beat to a pulp. While one side was normal, the other half was burnt beyond recognition. Lin lowered her eyes and instead focused on the Joker's hand on her wrist.

"Joker." Harvey acknowledged. The Joker released his hold upon her and took a seat across from Harvey. A few of the henchmen, including Harley, took the seats next to him. Harley gave her a small smile and a tiny wave of hello, seeing as they haven't seen each other in months. Lin stood still next to a few of the left-over clowns and smiled in returned.

"Harvey, Harvey, Harvey Dent." The Joker sang. "Welcome to my humble abode."

"You wanted to see me about something?" Harvey said, trying to get things moving along. He stared at Lin for a moment with a curious look, but soon returned his gaze to his host.

"I think it's time to introduce a little more anarchy." The Joker said.

"What did you have in mind?"

"In a few days, I'm going to place a bomb in one of the many schools in Gotham. It'll be the police's job to evacuate them all."

"Is that it?" Harvey asked. "That's the plan?"

"You'll be surprised."

"And what part do I play in all of this?"

"You get to choose the school!"

Harvey gave it a minute's thought before answering.

"Fair enough." He said.

"What!" Lin shouted. She quickly threw her hands over her mouth, but it was too late.

Suddenly, all eyes were on her and Harley gave her a "shut up before you get killed" look. The Joker just smiled at her while Harvey stared at her coldly.

"And who is this, Joker?" Harvey asked.

"An old friend," He answered carefully. "Who will soon be dead if she says another word."

"But how the hell do you justify blowing up a school!" Lin shouted.

"No one is innocent." Harvey said.

"But they're children!" She shouted.

"That makes it just that much more fun!" The Joker said. Lin looked at him as if he had two heads.

"Tell me," Harvey started. "Have you ever lost someone close to you? Someone who was your entire life?" Lin stared at him and lowered her eyes in thought. If memory served her right, he used to date Rachel Dawes, who died a while back. It tore him to pieces on the inside as well as the outside.

"Yes, I have." She said, glancing quickly at the Joker who stared at her blankly. "But that doesn't justify killing innocent people."

"No one is innocent." He repeated. "All you have is justice. Would you like to know where you stand?" He took out a coin and began fiddling with it in his hands, and proceeded to take out a gun.

"Heads, you live." He said as he flipped the coin and slammed it on the table with his hand. Lin's heart was beating rather quickly as she held her breath. He lifted his hand and what she saw made her let out a sigh of relief.

"You're very lucky." He stated dully. "You may not be so lucky next time."

"Just because you lost someone close to you doesn't mean you have the right to decide who lives or who dies."

"Oh I don't decide." He said holding up the coin. "Chance, is the only thing that's fair."

"But you pull the trigger."

"Someone's got to do it."

"What would SHE think if she saw you like this?" Lin asked. Suddenly, Harvey shot up from his seat, causing the Joker's men to do the same.

"Don't you DARE talk about RACHEL!" He shouted. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!"

"And you have no right to kill other people!" Lin retorted. The tension in the room began to rise as the two of them glared daggers at one another. Harley went to Lin's side and held her arm, as if preventing her from lunging at Harvey.

"You've got a lot of nerve, kid." He said through gritted teeth as he held up the coin. "Want to have another go?"

Lin continued to glare at him and shook herself of Harley's grip. Although both she and Harvey shared a similar past, both came out polar opposites of each other. Harvey lost Rachel, and also lost his identity and his humanity. Lin lost Jack, and was left with deep scars and blurry memories, but she still had her sanity. They were two people dipped into the same batter, but emerging with very different results.

"I think it's time that the kid leaves." The Joker said as turned his head to face Lin. He signaled for Harley to take her back to the room, but not before she could have one last word with Harvey.

"You're just a pussy with a gun in your hand, Harvey." She said which caused the Joker to laugh hysterically.

"C'mon." Harley whispered to her. "Let's go before he tries to kill you again."

"Harley, are you really letting them blow up a school?"

"It may seem harsh but there's a brilliant message behind it." She reasoned.

"But they're just children."

"Like I said, it's all about the message when it comes to Mister J."

"And what is that message?"

"Look Lin," she started once they reached the Joker's room. "I hate to break it to you but the world isn't black and white. There are gray areas, and people aren't as innocent as you believe them to be. Not even kids."

"But this isn't about being innocent or not, Harley." Lin replied. "It's just about having fun killing kids and causing chaos. Where's the message in that?"

"Just stay here." She said as she closed and locked the door.

How was Lin going to stop this?
