Thanks for the reviews!

Miss savvy- Yes Alice is very unstable but things can only get worse

Fear personified- Never liked Bolton either, always bullinging our favourite villians *sigh* Alice will just have to take care of him for us.

Alice opened her eyes slowly, she was lying on her bed…wait no…it wasn't her bed, her bed was harder before. There wasn't the usual screams from the inmates that Alice was so used to. Suddenly she felt a throbbing pain on her forehead, she used her hand to massage it but it didn't work at all.

'Owww, bloody doctors. They think the way to solve a problem is to bloody sedate everything.' Alice mumbled as she slowly lifted herself onto a sitting position making her headache worse. Alice moaned a little too loudly as she heard someone cackle like a witch.

'haahaahaaa I think she's waking up boys!'

'And girls puddin'

'Yes of course Harley my sweet, girls as well'

'I think it was you clown that woke her up'

'Don't talk to my puddin like that puzzle boy!'

'It's okay buttercup, I can handle him, HEHEHE! I think she will be so much fun! Scarecrow you never know she might like being scared, maybe you two could I don't know… be like me and my little Harley hehehe!'

'If she has any brain cells then she will know to fear me'

'Oh you're no fun scareboy!'

Alice knew all those voices, she used to watch the news a lot before she was sent to Arkham Asylum and she knew that this was defiantly not her cell. She said the names in her head: Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, The Riddler and none other than the clown prince of crime The Joker himself. She decided to put her new neighbours out of their misery (or laughter) and walked up to the glass door of the cell. As soon as she was in eye sight the whole corridor seemed to become a hurricane of voices.

'OMG She's a blonde like me! We could be Blonde buddies!'

'Riddle me this! What has blonde hair wears an orange Arkham suit and will regret the day she was moved into intensive care!'

'Well that's a relief, I really don't like blondes. I hope you realize to fear me sooner rather than later'

'Oh Hare! Do you think she could be my Alice?'

'Let the girl speak for goodness sake! Well if you weren't mad before you are now sweetie, the names Ivy but you can call me Red if you want, Harley does'

Alice couldn't see where the last voice had come from but she knew who owned it and she was glad there was at least a little sanity in here.

'Hang on did someone say I was in intensive care! All I did was bloody tell that dumbass Bolton that I wasn't the type of girl to be pushed around!'

'Yes but from what I heard you did more than tell him child' Alice searched for where the calm voice had come from. Just opposite her cell a rather skinny man with black wavy hair was sitting on his bed reading a book, he didn't look up from the book as he spoke or when Alice replied to his comment.

'You're The Scarecrow aren't you? You're Jonathan Crane?' Alice watched as Crane turned the page in his book and sighed.

'I would prefer it if you called me Dr Crane and I only go by the name of Scarecrow when I am wearing my mask though the Joker doesn't seem to have got that through his mind yet'

'Fine, I'll call you Dr Crane if you don't call me child EVER again, deal?'

'Yes child' Alice heard hoots and whistles from the other cells, but Crane didn't acknowledge their enthusiasm or the fact that Alice was staring daggers at him. Alice watched as a smug smile played across his face but he still didn't look up.

'Have it your way MR Crane' that made him look up, Alice saw that his eyes were crystal blue eyes but anger was filled in them. more laughter was heard from the other cells and shouts of 'You've done it know kid' or 'dead girl walking'. Crane stared at her for a few seconds then turned back to his book, obviously not wanting a staring contest just yet. Alice poked her tongue at him once he had been engrossed in the book; Alice turned her attention to the other cells. The one on the left of Crane held a woman with blonde hair which was held up in two ponytails. Alice guessed she was Harley Quinn from the lack of seriousness in her eyes, she had her face pressed against the glass making condensation around her mouth, Harley just giggled as the condensation got further around her face. To the right of Crane a man with short ginger hair leaned against the wall that separated him from Crane, clearly wanting to get a good look at Alice. Judging by the green question marks that were made by spraying paint the man was the Riddler. Alice guessed Poison Ivy was on the left of her cell and the joker was on the right… right where her bed was. Alice banged her head against the glass as she began to realize the situation she was in.

'Bloody clown, now I won't get any sleep' Alice mumbled under her breath, she only pulled her head away from the glass when the headache became unbearable. She could feel everyone's eyes watching her, except Crane who continued his quiet reading. The cackling from the clown could be heard across the whole Asylum.

'HAHAHAHA! I think the kid has lost some brain cells after that head bashing! You're one strong cookie kid' Alice growled in annoyance.

'The next person that calls me a kid will find their most precious persetion shoved up their sorry ars-'

'She ain't kidding weirdos, I'd watch yer back if I were you clown' The booming voice of Lyle Bolton soon made everyone quiet (even the Joker).

'Oi! Didn't your mummy tell you it's rude to interrupt people when there talking?' I few giggles were heard through the corridor. Bolton walked to Alice's cell and pressed his head against the glass, he had a sling wrapped around his left arm making Alice smirk. She was proud of her handy work, she folded her arms as he began to speak.

'Well, well, well. Look who got her sorry butt shoved into intensive care, maybe next time you will think twice before attacking a member of staff' Alice scoffed.

'Member of staff! More like member of monkeys, anyway it's not my fault you're so weak that you managed to get beaten up by a girl half your size' Hoots were heard again Joker being the loudest. Before Bolton could make a comeback his walkie-talkie went off informing him that Victor zsacz had escaped his cell again and was heading for one of the staff rooms. Bolton quickly replied that he was on his way and shot and angry glare at Alice.

'This. Isn't. Over'

'Don't. Worry. It's. Just. The. Beginning.' He grunted in response and ran off, as soon as he wasn't in ear-shot a round of applause was admitted from the other cells, Alice made a little bow to show her appreciation. As soon as the applause had stopped Alice walked back to her bed and lay with her hands behind her head, a smile spreading across her face.

I could get used to this.

She closed her eyes suddenly feeling tired. Unfortunately the Joker was wide awake and made sure everyone else stayed awake as well.

Bring me sunshine, in your smile

Bring me laughter, all the while

In this world where we live, there should be more happiness

Bring me Batman, covered in blood

Bring me Robin, good as dead

Bring joy, bring laughter, bring me a guuuunnnn!

The corridor filled with moans including Alice.

'SHUT UP CLOWN!'

'Keep calm Edward he sings it every day'

'I DON'T CARE CRANE! HIS SINGING IS GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME! Well that's if the food doesn't get me first.'

'I have to agree with Riddler on this one. That clown will be the death of us.'

'That's if we don't kill him first Ivy' Alice regretted getting involved as the Joker let out a howl of laughter.

'HEHEHE! You can try kid it will just earn you a longer stay here. Then again I could come back and haunt you guys. It would be like I never left!' Alice sat up at his remark and noticed that The Riddler and Harley Quinn had a look of shock on their face, it seemed Crane didn't hear the Joker as he continued his reading. Alice saw that he was already half way through the book but didn't press on it just yet, she was too interested in The Joker's last comment.

'so… you wouldn't mind me killing you? That's a bit strange. I mean you wouldn't be angry with me?' Alice was greeted with another session of Joker's insane laughing before she got her reply.

'No of course not! That would create chaos through the whole Asylum. I am the agent of chaos after all! Anyway knowing my Harley she would probably tear your guts out and kill you from the inside out!' Girlish giggles were heard from Harley as she heard the Joker's voice.

'Yer can bet on it mistah J! But I think she was only joking puddin' Alice watched as The Riddler but a hand to his face, Alice found herself giggling. Riddler's hand shot down at the new noise and stared at Alice as she walked to her glass door, she stared at him, waiting for him to say something then changed her mind and spoke first.

'I know how you feel. Being surrounded by idiots isn't fun at all. Erm… except Mr Crane' Alice added the last part as Crane had raised an eyebrow but still it was raised at her use of 'Mr'. Alice heard him mumble something like 'you're walking on very thin ice child' but didn't challenge Alice. She rolled her eyes and continued her conversation with The Riddler.

'Soooo, are you going to ask me a riddle? I can see you're dying to see if I'm smart enough for one of your riddles' Alice saw the Riddler's cheeks turn slightly red at her request for a riddle and she immediately thought:

Nerds. Always thinking a girl likes them just because they acknowledge their there.

'Ok! Riddle me this! What cries but has no eyes, can fly but doesn't have any wings and you see them every day? Alice thought long and hard. She guessed he would make it hard for her to make her look like an idiot (being the newbie and all) but she thought he would at least make it a little bit harder. Alice looked at Harley who was pouting as she wondered what the riddle was.

'I don't get it Riddler'

'It's an easy one Harley. It's a cloud' Alice watched as The Riddler again turned red which caught the attention of Ivy.

'oh. I think quiz boy here has a crush on the newbie'

'SHUT UP PLANT GIRL! I-I just was angry because she got it right AND because she said it was easy.'

'Sure'

'Don't be mean Ivy! It's not his fault he doesn't meet many intelligent girls' Alice winked at The Riddler as Harley and Ivy started shouting at her, she bowed again and walked over to her bed. Putting her hands behind her head she sighed loudly.

'My work here is done'

Alice closed her eyes and tried to get some sleep before the guards came to take them to the cafeteria…

BRING ME SUNSHINE, IN YOUR SMILE!

BRING ME LAUGHTER, ALL THE WHILE!

'SHUT UP CLOWN BEFORE I SHOVE MY CANE DOWN YOUR SCRAWNY NECK!'

'Edward Read my words. Stay. Calm.'

'Easy for you to say Straw man, all you do is read bloody books!'

Alice smiled. Even though she wouldn't get any sleep, at least she would be entertained.
