Jason- "I wonder why you feel that way" Jason says in a sarcastic voice Barbara- "Oh, well that outfit is the best" Jason- "I could go places in this, but no that would involve me having a life"

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I WANT TO BE IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS" Barbara- "It's not the mob Jason" Jason- "No.they get to kill people" Barbara gets mad and tries to hold back the tears Barbara- "Do you think this place, my disability, this life is what I wanted? You can leave if you want.for a day.a week, a month, but you'll be back. Because this is where you belong, this is where we both belong" Alfred walks in the back Alfred- "I stopped by the relaters office for the dock yards layout like you had requested.is it a bad time?" Barbara- "Thank you Alfred.We have one place left to search, the dock yards itself" Jason- "I have to go to another to get sit through another session with the shrink" Jason walks out. SCENE 7 The shot shows the city and than goes to Harley Quinn's office. She is sitting there looking at Hunter. Jason- "After my mother's death, I not only found out who my father was, but I found out he had a whole other life" Harley- "I am not sure I understand.you mean another family?" Jason- "No, more like a really aggressive hobby" Harley- "A dangerous one?" Jason- "Yea.I guess a part of me.I blamed him for what happened.and if Barbara hadn't taken me in." Harley cuts in Harley- "Why did she do that?" Jason- "I have known Barbara for almost my whole life, she was just trying to help" Harley- "Humans a essentially selfish creatures, Jason, no matter how much we tried to mask it to the ourselves and the world, you say Barbara rescued you, but did she do it for you, or for herself?" He lowers his head and the scene fades out. SCENE 8 The scene fades to the dock yards and Hunter walks in Hunter- "I am just curious.what happened here that night.you never told me the full story" Barbara- "Well.it of coarse was in my other life, before I was Oracle I had another name, another life."

She stops looks at the Joker, the Joker is faced the other way. She than runs and he spins back and shoots her across the room with an electric bolt. She than looks up. Batman walks in Joker's head jerks back. Barbara- "Batman could of killed the Joker that night, but he didn't.his honor had a price." END FLASHBACK Barbara's voice- "Joker escaped the police only long enough to send someone to kill your mother and to come for me himself" Jason- "If it is the Joker behind this.he better hope." Barbara cuts in Barbara- "No, he is still in Arkham.I checked" Jason continued down the hall way into a small room. He walks up to the desk there and picks up a picture Barbara- "Barbara.I know him" The scene fades out SCENE 9 Barbara is sitting at her desk and an older man walks in with a tray Alfred- "Hello Mrs. Barbara, the refrigerator in your apartment seemed low, so I restocked it" Barbara- "So I've heard over and over, thanks Alfred, you're a lifesaver" Alfred- "Oh, think nothing of it, little enough to keep my busy at the manor. I keep hoping that one day Mr. Jason will come and live in the manor, technically it is his birth right" Barbara- "Don't count on it, he wants nothing to do with Wayne money, I am surprised he can handle the trust to pay for this" Jason's voice comes on Jason- "Oracle. I am at his house.I'm going to look around" Barbara- "Just go up to the door and say hi.since you do know him" Jason- "Maybe next time"

Jason- "You drugged me.yes" Man- "Good, its time to tell me.what are you afraid of?"

Barbara's voice- "WHAT.JASON.JASON!" The shot fades out with a shot of Jason standing there clueless SCENE 12 Barbara hobbles on her cain towards the door and Alfred walks in Alfred- "And where are you going?" Barbara- "To get Jason, he was drugged, and who's knows what could happen"

Alfred- "You are in no condition to be running around, or your legs could fail for good.we'll call the police and get them there" Barbara- "NO.we cant have them find Hunter.and.I can do this myself. Thanks for your concern" She hobbles out. SCENE 13 Jason is sitting on the couch with a sad look on his face, like trying to resist something. The man is standing beside her and starts to walk over to the counter. Man- "At the dock yards, where my previous victims were trying to buy from me. We lost a great leader. But from the ashes where he fell we will build a new empire.a better one.well, its time to open up to my, Jason.tell me your worst pain" Jason gives in Jason- "I loose everyone I care about" The man takes out a knife Man- "To love someone, and to loose them.right in front of you" Jason- "I should of saved her.its all my fault" Man- "You could of at least tried" The man hands the knife to Jason, he takes it and puts it to his chest Man- "Go ahead.end the pain" Barbara- "I DON'T THINK SO!"

Man- "ITS TO LATE.where I have him in my mind.no one can follow" Barbara- "Well, if you transfer by touch" She hobbles over there and grabs his arm, the scene flashes and shows Hunter on the ground with a knife to his chest. The shot than shows Batgirl in costume standing there, she walks over and neals right beside him. Batgirl- "Let me have the knife" Jason- "No.I fail everyone" Batgirl- "NO.YOU HAVENT FAILED ME.I choose this life, and all of the risks that go with it.its not your job to protect me" Jason- "But my mom, I could of saved her" Batgirl- "You were just a kid" Jason- "There is no reason to live"

Batgirl- "I need you Jason.I cant do this without you.please, if you kill yourself than will loose everything you care about.don't let his drug make you do this, your stronger than it.you can beat it.please.drop the knife" Jason drops the knife. The man comes forth Man- "No matter, I will still kill him here" Batgirl stands up. Man- "What are you doing? YOU ARENT BATGIRL ANYMORE. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY LEGS.!" Batgirl falls over in pain. The man walks closer and Hunter runs out Man- "YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!" Hunter- "You don't belong either Larry" He kicks him in the stomach and than spin kicks him to the ground. Larry than stands up wipes across his face and than takes out a knife Larry- "YOU ARE GOING TO DIE" Larry runs over to Hunter, Hunter kicks the knife out of his hands and than kicks him over and than Larry kicks Jason in the stomach and than kicks him again over. Larry than stands up and looks down Larry- "WHY FIGHT IT.you are alone, you will always be alone" Jason- "Maybe.buts its my screwed up life and I'll decide when its over"

She than kicks him to the ground and he falls back and screams in pain. Batgirl than stands up and Hunter walks over and they appear outside the dream. Jason- "Thanks Barb" Larry is lying on the ground motionless. Barbara- "I guess when you killed him in there, you destroyed his mind" Jason- "Well.whoops" He says with a smile and the scene fades out. SCENE 14 Detective Reese is standing over the body with his partner Reese- "I told you didn't i.there would be another suicide" Man- "Sure Reese.sure" The man walks away and Reese starts to walk away and turns around, Hunter is standing before him Hunter- "Your welcome" Reese- "Was this our murderor so to speak?"

Hunter- "Yea" Reese- "And.?" Hunter- "And what.ill tell you more when I know more.just, you might want to take him somewhere for crazy people.he seems to have.lost his mind" The scene fades out. SCENE 15 There is a sign on a wall that says Arkham Asylum on it and we hear lighting in the back ground. SCENE 16 Detective Reese is standing with Harley. Larry is standing in a cell looking mindless Harley- "Did you find him like this?"

Reese- "No.he was dropped off at the station with some pretty bizarre evidence.we couldn't be sure if he is dangerous so that's why we brought him to you Dr. Quinnzel" Harley- "Oh call me Harleen Detective, please" Reese- "Harleen, thanks again" He walks out and Harley nods her head. Harley walks over to a door and pushes in a code, she than opens the door and walks into the cell. She looks at Larry. Harley- "Larry.Larry.Larry.this is quiet a disappointment, isn't it.I needed those dock yards Larry.I had a dream of new Gotham, people rising in pain, dying on the streets, and everything, under my command, and you.you ruined my DREAM!" She spin kicks him to the ground Harley- "At least temporarily.What happened Larry, I wish you could tell me, somebody stopped you, which means.someone is trying to stop me. Well.it just goes to show you never send a business man to do a psychopaths job" She sighs and than walks away. SCENE 17 Jason is at the bar wiping down tables and Barbara walks in Barbara- "Jason.where have you been.you haven't been home all day?" Jason- "Just getting away, it feels awkward now.after knowing that I could be capable of something like that" Barbara- "Don't worry.you were drugged, you wouldn't kill yourself" Jason- "I know that and you know that.but my body didn't know that.so it scares me" Barbara- "When I was out there fighting crime there was this criminal, the Mad Hatter. He made people do whatever he felt like. I was afraid to go against him.for fear of being told to kill myself or kill someone I loved" Jason- "As long as I got a friend like you around Barbara.I don't have anything to worry about"

He smiles and the scene fades out. SCENE 18 Barbara is sitting at her desk and Jason walks in Jason- "Yesterday was weird, I mean, we usually save the world from an apocalyptic bad guy plan" Barbara- "Well this time we saved our selves.I like the change of pace"

Jason- "Thanks for cheering me up earlier Barbara.it meant a lot" Barbara- "That's what friends are for" The shot fades up to my room. Barbara is sitting on the chair by the window and looking down playing around with her Bat-a-Rang and Jason walks in Jason- "Whats wrong" Barbara- "Just thinking.sometimes.I can almost feel what it was like to race across the rooftops under the moon"

Jason- "Yea.wet.damp.fear of death, sounds like fun" Barbara- "I guess a part of me never let go of who I was"

Jason- "I can never be what you were, Barbara" Barbara- "I know, just be yourself instead. Besides, your much cooler than I ever was anyway" Jason- "Well.yea" The shot races through the city than shows the moon with a bat that flies across
