A siren blared at 7 am exactly waking Kat up with a start and ear ache.

Turning over in her bed Kat started to mumble to herself, "What time is it?"

"Well Kat it's 7am, the early bird catches the worm you know." Chuckled Joker

"Cats' hunt at night." Growled Kat sitting up on hard bed, "But still good morning Chuckles." She continued in a cheerier tone.

"Good morning to you to Kat plans for today?" smile Joker.

"Well Dr. Logan said I would be seeing him today and someone called something Sharp would be there too…" Kat scratched her head as she tried to recall what Dr. sugar-coat-it had said last night.

"Sharpey boy!" the Joker suddenly yelled.

"Um…yeah. Do you know him?" asked Kat.

"Yeah! He's the top dog here, always goes to the first therapy session…"

"Shut up!" Kat hissed suddenly at the Joker, her ears pricked. 'Someone's coming' she mouthed at him.

'Oh' he mouthed back while nodding his head slowly.

A few minutes later a young orderly walked up to Kat's cell and leaned against the glass if Joker's cell.

"Come on Doctor Tailer, time for your first therapy session." Mocked the young orderly.

"I didn't know you were a doctor Kat!" smiled Joker, "Did you know that Kurty boy?" Kat smirked, Joker was toying with 'Kurty boy' but he orderly was having one of the Joker's games. His fist slammed against the Joker's glass.

"Shut it Clown!" yelled the young orderly.

Something inside Kat suddenly snapped. Nobody threatens her friends. Still in the shadows she spoke.

"Leave him alone." She snarled in a voice that seemed different from her own. It was rough and vicious. As if an angry tiger was growling instead of this Irish girl in her mid-twenties.

"Excuse me?" Kurtis the orderly stopped leaning on the glass and began to make his way across to the glass wall of Kat's cell in a condescending manor.

"I said leave him alone." Kat snarled again. She could fell her nails growing into long sharp claws; her tail was lashing from side to side. She ran her tongue along her teeth; her canines had grown into lengthy pointed fangs. She had felt them begin to grow once Kurtis' fist had hit the glass.

"And what are you going to about it?" Kurtis teased.

Kat lunged at the glass wall that separated herself from this young thug.

"I will get out of here and when I do I will kill you." She lashed out at the glass. Her claws scratched down the think glass cutting half way through it. Kurtis took a step back, his heart was pounding against his ribs, this had never happened before. Kat took a deep breath she could smell him – fear, he stank of fear. "So get out of here!" She slammed her fist again the glass and a large crack appeared through her claw marks. "Go on! On you bike mate!" she yelled.

Kurtis turned tail and sprinted, Kat glaring at him until she could see him no more a smug smile painted on her face. She looked back to the Joker as he stood mouth slightly open but it wasn't long before his smile crept back onto his face.

"I like you more and more every hour," he smiled.

"Ditto!" Kat gave him a childish grin knowing she had made a friend. "Hey hang on," she silenced the Joker with a flick of her tail and a twitch of her ear. She could here the thump, thump, thump of heavy footed orderlies making their way to cell 516. "I think I may have rattled the orderlies' cage." Kat smiled innocently as to brutish orderlies opened the locked door of her cell and proceeded to drag her out.

"I'll save a spot for you at the Rec. Room." Called Joker as she was marched down the familiar corridor to the office area.

"Thanks Chuckles! I'll see you later then!" Kat called over her shoulder giggling as she was marched towards her first therapy session.
