Chapter 21: Welcome Home
After her nigh-on rape experience, she was led into a shower room where she was made to strip in front of the burly women a wash the 'muck' from her face. Jester giggled and laugh trying to annoy the woman, taunting her but the woman only smirked before she hit Jester hard across the face, Jester slipped in the water and the woman began to kick her in the face. Only when Jester muttered 'stop' did the abuse cease. Jester got to her feet shakily and finished her shower in the freezing water, her makeup had washed down the drain and her hair was clean.
Jester was then dressed in a straight jacket and a pair of grey tracksuit bottoms, though she protested having bitten the burly woman on the cheek in the process and spat in her face.
She was led through the grey halls of the asylum, she was walked passed around a hundred heavy metal doors leading to the cells of the inmates before they reached the end and she was led into a nice well-lit doctors office. A female doctor was waiting and the burly woman sat Jester in a chair heavily and shut the door. Jester could see the burly woman's shadow through the window in the door, she was waiting.
"Now Miss Jesterson, I'm Dr Frances today I shall be doing a medical check-up. I'm sure with your medical background you will be well aware of the procedure. After today I will be doing psychiatric work with you as well and administering you with any medicine I see fit. Every 3 months you will have another medical evaluation. You will receive therapy every other day." said the Doctor as though she was reading from a transcript.
"You really shouldn't call me that," Jester warned quietly.
"Well I'm afraid we don't do aliases in here, Miss Jesterson or should I call you Scarlett"
Something in Jester snapped and she launched herself across the room at the doctor. But the burly woman was back in a flash and she had Jester pinned to the wall her feet not even touching the ground.
"Thank you, Heidi," said the doctor straightening her lab coat.
"Now shall we continue" for the rest of the checkup Jester was held down roughly by 'Heidi', though that name seemed far too pretty for the beast it was given to.
"Now I think due to your behaviour, we will give you some intensive treatment now, which will hopefully calm you down a little" Dr Frances said.
Jester began to trash at that sentence, she kicked with both legs and Heidi dragged her from the room and into one just down the hall labelled, "Treatment room one".
Scarlett had heard of Electroshock therapy before, during her career but she had no idea they still used it. She was strapped to a chair by her head, wrists and ankles and they attached electrodes to the side of her forehead. Jester screamed and tried to free herself but it was of no use, the restraints were made for someone far stronger than herself. The machine whirred and hissed as it started up and Jester screamed. The wave shot through her like a bullet and she screamed and screamed over and over it tore through her being, she felt her body go into shock and a feeling or wariness came over her as the last shock subsided.
She was dragged from the room, her body weak and broken and her legs sliding along the polished concrete floor. She looked up slightly when she head a shout but her head was blurry and she looked back down again. Jester was literally thrown into a cell and she looked up at the enormous woman in the doorway.
"Welcome to your new home, Miss Jesterson," said Heidi with a loud laugh to Jester before the door to the cell was slammed shut.
Joker looked on in horror as the only person he had ever care for was dragged by her wrists into a cell and the door shut behind her. The guard behind him pushed him hard as he stopped and Joker snarled but continued on nonetheless.
