Helena's Bane

CHAPTER 1

Harley Quinn stood in her cell which she had been in for nearly nine months. This small cell was maddening. She felt like a freak show locked behind a tiny plastic cell. She had been patient up to this point and was still in this cell preparing for the day that she and Bane had planned for. Now, at last, that time had come.

A security guard entered the prison as scheduled. Harley grinned with devilish delight as she walked up to the plastic wall that was separating her from the security officer. As the officer walked up to the glass, Harley began to hypnotize the officer. The security officer stared into her eyes blankly. "I have another job for you. Are you ready?"

"Yes," the security officer said, still under her hypnotic spell.

"Good," Harley smiled. She looked back at the gate and saw Commissioner O'Reiley entering the cell with two police officers walking along side with him. "Make an announcement on the loud speakers to all the inmates that the time has come."

"Right away."

The security officer turned and walked past the commissioner and the two officers. Commissioner O'Reiley smiled up at Helena. "Open the door."

"Sir?" One of the officers turned to him, not understanding why he wanted the cell door opened.

The Commissioner pulled out his gun. "She won't try anything, now open the door."

The officer looked up at Harley and shivers went down his spine. That women scared him to no end. Reluctantly, he pulled out the remote and with a push of a button, the plastic cell door was open. "Thank you, officer," Commissioner O'Reiley said as he pointed the gun at the officer. With a pull of a trigger, the officer's limp body collapsed in front of Harley as she stepped out of her cell.

The second officer reached for his gun but Harley leaped over Bane and kicked the officer square in the chest. He stumbled backwards until he fell onto his back. Harley smiled down at the police officer with gleeful smile as she raised up her right foot. "Good-bye, officer." She stomped her foot down into his throat, crushing his Adam's Apple and snuffing the life out of his body.

The hypnotized security officer walked back to his station where there was one other security guard sitting at the desk who was watching the monitors that displayed what the security camera picked up throughout Arkham. "Hey bill, how's the prisoner?" He did not reply. Instead he flipped a switch and activated the large microphone. "Bill?" the other security officer looked at him with a puzzled look on his face.

Again, he did not reply. Instead, he picked the microphone up. "Attention all Arkham inmates…"

* * * *

All the inmate in Arkham lifted their heads to listen to the announcement. Security officers who were walking through Arkham, checking up on the inmates, listened up at the announcement, all wondering who was addressing the inmates.

"You have all been informed on what is to take place here for the past nine months. Prepare yourselves, the time has now come."

* * * *

"Your freedom is now at hand!" The hypnotized security officer put the microphone and turned it off with a flip of the switch.

The other officer smiled towards him. "Your job here is now complete." The officer jammed the palm of his hand into his throat, causing him to swallow his tongue. The security guard gagged, desperately gasping for air as he fell to his knees. His face turned purple as he collapsed forward as his heart beat for the last time. The other security guard grinned with delight as he looked down at the body. His body began to morph and now standing there above the dead body was Raven.

"Good job, Raven." Bane said as he and Harley Quinn entered what used to be the security station. "Release the inmates."

Raven was happy to oblige. Finally, her revenge would begin. Raven approached the station and pushed the red button. "Let the fun begin."

* * * *

Every prison bar and plastic cell door in Arkham opened simultaneously. The security guards looked around franticly, not sure what was going on. Unfortunately, they had no time to figure it out as all the inmates came racing out of the cell and quickly outnumbered and overcame all the security guards.
