A full year had finally passed. Peter had gotten out causing Harley to keep her guard up, if what he said were to come true she wouldn't know how to stop it? Though it worried her exactly who was willing to pay his bail? At such a high price at that. She was looking through files Strange told her to look up on? Most of these criminals suffered from basic trauma while people in the asylum such as Johnathan Crane went mad from fumes, some reports claimed he was the one who killed his father after using his own son as a test subject. That's the big stuff Harley wanted to hear about. She clicked on the small tv in front of her. "Reports state Gotham is falling in shambles as these new criminals arise. A woman covered with plants and hair the color of roses went on a killing spree in September, but now she's been seen stealing chemicals and going on murderous rampages surrounding construction sights. Luckily Batman was there with enough fertiliser to knock her down. A man with riddles, a penguin mob boss, a man who wants to place fear in the world with fumes, a man who cuts himself for every kill he's made, and of course as a woman...an ecoterrorist. This city was doomed to fall if it weren't for Batman."

Harley cringed at the last statement. "Giving him pride will only make the streets worse?" Harley mumbled.

"Yeah he's already got a big head." A female voice agreed across the room....she was sitting in the dark as Harley looked around. She began to freeze in fear of who might have entered her home without the blondes knowledge, but the voice seemed oddly familiar.

"How long have you been in here, and who are you?" She let out trying to make her voice stern.

"It hasn't been that long has it Harley? As your sister you'd think remembering me would be instant?" The woman stood up walking toward the blonde as her face had gradually filled with shock and excitement. She stood up out her seat and trampled the raven haired girl with a hug. "A psychiatrist huh?" She giggled. "You know it took me way to long to find you?" Selena sighed into the hug at the adventure her year had consisted of.

"I don't have many friends to inform my whereabouts? I'd rather keep myself on the low. It does worry me who gave you information?" She looked up confused.

"Peter." The girl smiled causing the flood of joy to instantaneously evaporate from the blonde.

"How'd he know were I was?" Harley stood up scratching her fingers through her scalp.

Selena tilted her head in confusion. "You don't want him to know?"

Harley looked at her more seriously. "He's the very reason I don't want to be found." The look had taken Selena aback as she realised the look was almost the same as Pamela's before she left...Harley grabbed her papers and a bag as she began packing. "We need to leave here now? I need a new place to stay in."

Selena stood up quickly. "Wait Harley explain exactly what Peter did and why you can't confront him. I mean you work at a prison right? Inform the police?"

Harley froze... "how could he had gotten to my files so easily..."

She grabbed her phone immediately dialling Strange's number. The man picked up quickly. "There's a viper among the officers." She let out. They were the only two psychiatrist there. The officers still had information on them including their address.

"No Harley? You see? Giving that man your address was me? I simply wanted to see what he was willing to do with it." Harley stared at the phone in fear. The man was...mad? Willing to place his coworker in danger simply out of curiosity?" Harley panicked pulling Selena as she grabbed her bag and rushed out of the apartment. They ran out the back door in case someone had been watching.
