CHAPTER 10
Commissioner O'Reiley paid a visit to Harley Quinn, who loved it when he paid her a visit. He approached the plastic cell. Harley was sitting on a wooden stool. "So, how goes it in the outside world?"
"If my sources are correct, New Gotham was paid a visit from the Penguin. Apparently he tried to rob every bank in New Gotham."
"That fat buffoon can't do anything right," Harley grinned.
"Well, fortunately that was true, or our plans would have been postponed a little bit. We can not wait much longer. If we do, some villain will come and try to outdo us."
"I agree, Bane, my darling. This cell is getting awfully cramped," Harley said.
"Patience, my love. We are in the homestretch. Very soon, New Gotham will be ours."

Barbara used the two poles for support, as she took baby steps towards the other end. Dr. Maxwell stood to the side as he watched her do it without him backing her up. She showed more strength than she did the last time which was a very good sign. She was moving a bit more quicker as well. He sat there, with his hands folded in front of him. She was three quarters of the way there, before she showed signs of fatigue. Barbara refused to give in to her fatigue.
Her strain was becoming more visible in her arms as they shook. She was placing more and more weight on them, depending on them more and more with each second that went by. Finally, she reached the end of the two poles and she was done.
Dr. Maxwell rushed over to her with the wheel chair where he helped her turn around and sit down. "Congratulations, you did it! How does it feel?"
Barbara wiped the sweat from her eyebrows. "It feels damn good!" Barbara grinned.
"Excellent. You are now ready to continue your training on your own. My job here is done."
"What? You mean you're not coming back?" Barbara said with surprise.
"You don't need me anymore. Just continue to do this exercise, and eventually, you will not need those poles anymore. You will know when you are ready for that. There is nothing left for me to do here."
It was funny, when he first began her rehabilitation, their two similar rough qualities conflicted terribly, and it annoyed her to no end. Now, she was almost scared to see him go. "Well, then. I guess this is good-bye then. Thank you for everything you've done for me."
"It was my pleasure to see you again and work with you. I wish you luck on your future." The two of them shook hands.

Barbara, Helena, and Dinah joined Danielle on the ledge outside the clock, looking out upon New Gotham. Helena placed a hand on her shoulder. "How are you holding up?"
"I'll be okay. I am not all that sad, to tell you the truth."
"Well, however you look at it, you still loss your father. That's not something that you can just forget about," Barbara replied. "It's okay to feel a little pain. You may not have known your father that well, but he was still your father."
"Well, I suppose I have officially joined the club. Now all four of us have lost someone."
Helena smiled. "It must be a unofficial cosmic rule to be counted as a hero." The four girls laughed, as they stood there at the ledge, looking down at the beautiful landscape.
