Chpt.5

Dr. McFuzz?

Bruce as Batman, raced quickly to the bank. Questions raced through his head, as of what he could find.

Is that little girl really real? Or is she just a very life like dream? Is there even an actual reason why I should go to the bank? He reached the building to see that it was unusually quiet. Everyone was asleep. The tellers, and the people who were there. All of them on the floor in a deep sleep. Batman then heard noise coming from the vault.

"She's makin' a run for it Puddin'!" It was the unmistakable voice of Harley Quinn. Batman could hear a scuffle of footsteps and into the room ran the girl he'd been seeing in his dreams.

Her eyes widened at the sight of him, and Joker came running from the vault and grabbed the girl with a fistful of hair.

"Thought you could get away easily little dream girl." he hissed, then saw Batman. A big grin spread across his pale face.

"Well hello there Batsy." he smiled brightly.

"Let the girl go, Joker." Batman commanded with a glare.

"Now why would I do that? We were having some much fun." he laughed, then looked down at the girl. "Dreamy, make Batsy sleep." he smiled. Alue shook her head.

"I Can't." she answered in the same voice she had in the dreams.

"Can't." Joker hissed, unpleased with the answer, tightening his fistful of her hair, making her grunt in pain. "What do you mean by can't?"

"His will is too strong. He can't fall asleep because he wills himself awake." she explained.

"Well, at least I have a hostage." Joker shrugged, pulling a gun out of his pocket, and placing it at the girls temple. "Don't try anything Batsy, or she'll be shot. And Dreamy, don't you dare try to make me sleep. You know what will happen if you do."

"Yes. I do. But I have more tricks up my sleeve." she smiled slightly. Suddenly a terrifying creature came out of the shadows behind Joker. Batman had to admit that it looked like something out of a horror movie. It was at least seven feet tall, black fur covering it head to toe. It's head was the shape of a lion's, except it had no ears or snout. It's eyes were a bright yellow and cat-like, and the creature was smiling a wicked smile that had shark like teeth. The only thing that was comforting about the creature, was that it had a golden like crown on his head.

The monster whacked Joker on the head, and the gun dropped.

"Mista J…" Harley started as she was walking out of the vault, but then saw the creature. It turned around to look at her and smiled, showing the razor sharp pure white teeth.

"Helllooooo" He hissed. Harley let out a shriek, andfainted.

"Thank you Dr. McFuzz." the girl smiled.

"I wishhhhhhhh you called me sooooooooooner." the monster who the girl referred to Dr. McFuzz smiled, and then he faded away. As soon as he disappeared, she fainted.

Batman didn't know what else to do, except to try to help the girl. All the people around him started to wake up, and one of them called the police. Batman lifted the girl into his arms to find that she was terribly underweight. The blue cloak hid that. Batman knew that this had to Joker's doing. He looked over to where the Clown Prince of Crime was but no one was there. Only Harley was left, and Batman figured that Joker somehow managed to get away.

He put the girl in the bat mobile and started to drive back to the bat cave to get her some medical attention.
