Vanished

"FUCK!" She screamed as she pulled another shard of glass from her back. I'll kill him for this. She fell to her knees crying. Why me? What does he want from me? She began to fall apart. She stood up and punched the remainder of the mirror. She decided to clean up the mess later. She stepped inside the bedroom about to lay on the bed when her phone rang.
"Hello?" She answered in a tired voice.
"Doctor Quinzel? We need you to get here as soon as possible." They didn't even give her a chance to say no, it was she had no choice but to go. She threw on some black slacks, a black long sleeve shirt and her white lab coat. She wasn't in a mood for work and felt no need to dress serious like normal. She rushed to Arkham curious as to what they needed her for.
"Oh good you're here." Joan greeted her.
"Unfortunately yes. What's going on?"
Batman walked out from Joan's office with Poison Ivy in cuffs. He handed her off to the guards and they took her and headed towards her cell.
"Doctor we think you might be in danger."
"Excuse me? Did you just say I was in danger?" She laughed and yawned. They all looked at her. She caught herself and stopped laughing. She put her hands on her hips. "Why do you say that B-Man? Uh I mean Batman."
He looked at her. "Have you been drinking?"
"No."
"Ok then, I think the Joker has gotten into something serious and he wants to pull you into his big plan, whatever it is."
Harleen began to laugh again. "I'm sorry sir but I haven't seen the Joker since before he escaped three months ago. Besides what would he want with me? I'm only a doctor." As she lied she found it fascinating. She hadn't told a lie in years. What was she supposed to tell him? Sure he came over last night and we fucked, oh yes we fucked hard. She pushed that thought aside to scratch at her shoulder as the mark was itching, probably infected.
"Doctor are you feeling well?" He noticed she seemed off.
"No, uh my cat scratched me." She felt as if he could see right through her. This was her first encounter with this Batman her patients all talk about. She didn't like the way he looked at her. She got a bad feeling and could sense he was trouble.
"If you say so, but I need you to call the police if you suspect anything unusual and I will follow."
Harley stood there confused. The police? What were they going to do to save her? What if she didn't want to be saved? She decided to pay Ivy a visit and see if she knew anything.
"So I heard you tried to escape again?"
"Try? I seem to recall being brought in here all cuffed with the Bat. Where were you?"
"Enjoying my day off, what little I had of it." She took her to her office to have a session.
"You look like hell, what happened to you?"
Harley looked around. Even though she knew they were alone she was feeling afraid to admit it. She sat at her desk and took off her glasses rubbing her eyes.
"J happened…" Ivy raised a brow.
"Did he hurt you? I swear I will poison him in his sleep if so…"
"No. But the Bat seems to think he has something planned for me and that he's going to try and attack me."
Ivy laughed. "Wow! That is crazy. Batman told you this?"
"Yeah. Ya know you were right he is strange. He should be in here not you guys. You are all innocent." Harley wasn't making sense anymore and her words were starting to mumble together.
"Harley? Doc? You okay?" She seen her eyes roll into the back of her head and before she could hit the ground a vine broke her fall. Ivy pushed some blonde hair out of Harleys face. "Don't worry doll. I'll protect you from the Bat. J won't let anything happen to you either, I hope."
…
Harley opened her eyes and looked around. She was not at her apartment and she was not in the hell she worked at. Ivy walked in the room with a glass of water and a wet rag.
"Where am I?"
"You started crazy talk at Arkham. We were in session and you went out fast. Lucky I was there to catch you. I hope you don't mind I sort of used it as an advantage to escape."
"Oh, no. But my head hurts… I think something is wrong with me." She held her head with her hands.
"Here drink some water." Harley took the glass and drank every drop.
"Thanks." She scanned the room. "Where are we?"
"A place I like to call home away from home."
"Oh I see." She felt another pain shooting through her head and pulled her own hair and tossed the glass at the wall. It shattered. She couldn't control herself. "What's happening to me?"
"What exactly did you and J do when he visited?"
Harley looked at Ivy and grinned. "We had rough sex, and it was incredible!"
"I think I'm going to be sick now. Anything else?" Ivy noticed Harley scratching at her shoulder. "Let me see" She ripped her shirt and seen the marks. "He bit you didn't he?"
"I don't remember. He had no reflection and the pain was too much. I kinda passed out."
"Harley you're changing. This is his plan…" Not good…
"What are you talking about?" Harley stood up and walked into the bathroom. She stared in the mirror. She slipped her shirt over her head and seen the visible bite marks. He had bit her neck last night and tasted her when he marked her with his blade. She ran her hand over the marks and let out a small chuckle followed by a series of laughs. She looked at the mirror once again to see only half a reflection. She was indeed fading. She stared at her fist then began punching the mirror repeatedly.
"Harley what the hell are you doing?" Ivy pushed the bathroom door open and found herself being choked by Harleys sudden super human grip on her throat and then thrown into the wall. "Fuck this is not good."
Harley started running towards the door. "Harley wait!" Ivy stood up and looked at her. Harley blew her a kiss and skipped out the door.
"Damnit J what have you done? You created a monster!"
Sorry for the shorter chapter but I promise the next is longer and yes Joker will be returning soon. Don't worry my friends. :) Please feel free to share your thoughts. Thanks!
