Harleen was sitting next to the Joker's hospital bed, Dr Arkham had told her to stay in case the Joker was violent when he finally woke. The doctor that had, reluctantly, taken care of the Joker came into the room to check on his vitals, the man was about fifty but had aged quite well. The doctor smirked as he looked over the Joker with wires all over him and tubes in his nose, it unnerved Harleen how cheerful he seemed about the Jokers condition and she became horrified when the man took a photo on his smartphone of him "What are you doing?!" she gasped.

"Taking a photo for the wife," the doctor answered casually.

Harleen was speechless but before either of them could speak again they heard the Joker's breathing increase in speed. She looked down at him to see he was staring straight at the doctor with a look she had never seen him make before. He began to struggle as the doctor approached but couldn't move or speak because of the muzzle and restraints that he had been put in "Its ok Mr Joker," the doctor said, "I'm just going to give you some morphine."

This did nothing to comfort the Joker whose eye's widened and he began to breathe heavily as the doctor approached with the needle, Harleen stopped him before he could administer the medicine and the Joker seemed to relax "I think it might be best for the patient if I go get another doctor, what is your name again?"

"Dr. Napier, Joseph Napier," he said with a charming smile but it only revolted Harleen.

"Ok, I'm going to go get a nurse," she responded and began to leave but not before noticing Joker's increasing panic.

She decided to stop just outside the door, she didn't trust this doctor.

Inside the room, the doctor smiled cruelly at the Joker "Its been a long time," he said before taking of the Joker's muzzle.

"Not long enough," he retorted.

"You know Jeanie was so heart broken when you disappeared, she needed a real man to fill the hole you left," Joseph continued "I fucked her for five hours straight," he said.

Harleen could hear the Joker struggle harder against his restraints "You fucking bastard!" he yelled.

"That's no way to talk to your dad," Joseph teased.

"Fuck you."

"Aww, are you upset about your mom or the fact that your wife had sex with your dad two days after you were announced missing?"

At that moment Harleen entered with a nurse, she glared at Dr. Napier "I think it's best if you leave for now," she said through gritted teeth, he merely grinned and left without another word.

Ten minutes later the nurse left after giving Joker some medicine and putting a tray on the side table of his bed but didn't bother to feed him, just left it there like some kind of indirect torture. Harley sighed and unstrapped his hands from his restraints so that he could eat "Thanks," he murmured.

She picked up her miniature torch and shined it into his eyes before turning on the bedside lamp and turning off the overhead lights "Better?" she asked, he nodded. She wiped his cheek with the back of her hand, he looked at her confused.

"What was that for?"

"You've been crying," she said wiping the other cheek clean.

He slapped her hand away "No I haven't, I don't cry."

"I heard what he said to you," she said quietly but he didn't seem to react "Was Jeannie your wife?" he still didn't respond "Mr. J, this is how you got here in the first place bottling up all your feelings."

"Jeannie is a slut!" he roared and turned to lie facing away from her.

"Mr. J?" she tried but it was clear that he didn't want to talk to her so she stood up "I'll come back in the morning," still no response "Goodnight, J."

In the suburbs of Gotham, Jeannie heard her husband come home from work, she had just gotten her two children back to sleep and needed to relax "Hey honey," she greeted him with a kiss.

"I brought you something," he said smiling at her. She smiled back, anything that could cheer her up even a little help. After her ex-husband went missing her and her current husband, which was also her ex's father were shunned by the community, most people found it wrong and disgusting. The harassment didn't improve when her two daughters were born, people called her a whore and gave her dirty looks while actively avoiding her.

Joseph pulled out his phone "You won't believe who came into the hospital today, after a severe overdose," he said grinning as he scrolled through his gallery.

Jeannie frowned, why would she be happy about someone being put in the hospital? She became even more confused when he showed her a picture of the Joker hooked up to medical machines "Why would I care about the Joker being put in the hospital? It's not uncommon considering how much he gets beat up by Batman."

"I only realized this a few months ago but if I give the photo normal skin and brown hair…" he trailed off, editing the photo, Jeannie was becoming more confused by the minute "…Look who he becomes!" he said cheerfully as he held up the phone again.

She cried out in horror when she now saw her ex-husband hooked up to those machines, it all suddenly made sense.

She always knew there was something wrong with Jack, he lost his temper quickly and became suspicious easily. She thought back to the night she had gone to his father for comfort and remembered spotting a shady figure on the corner of the street as she was leaving the house the following morning. Now realizing that it must have been Jack broke her heart into a million pieces.

She grabbed the phone and sobbed over the photo "Jack! No!" she cried. All the while Joseph stood there smiling at her reaction.

"You look beautiful when you cry," he said.

"Stay away from me!" she yelled backing away, "You told me he was dead!"

"Well, he may as well be," he responded looking at the photo again. She grabbed her jacket angrily and stormed out the door "Hey! Where are you going?!" she heard Joseph calling after her but she didn't bother to respond getting in her car and speeding off towards the hospital.

PM me or review what you want to happen to Jeannie and Joseph, I don't really have a plan I'm just seeing where I go, so if you have an idea I'd be happy to hear it.
