It was like any other day in Arkham, the Batman had just dropped off one of the peanut gallery and disappeared suddenly meaning everything was running normally, or as normal as it gets in Arkham. When suddenly the front doors burst open to about twenty guys all dressed in white forming in a circle. "We have a patient to admit," one of the guys in white said. The suprised receptionist bounced back pretty quickly after their sudden entrance and pointed to a packet, "To admit a new patient fill out the packet," she paused a moment "Excuse me but who exactly are you bringing in?" The man looks up from the writing "Rouge test subject, a monster, IT went crazy and blew up half of our facility, don't believe anything it says. Well if it says anything at all," He finishes writing in the packet and nods to the circle of white. They open to show a severely malnourished boy who looks about 5 with white hair stained with red, like the rest of him covered in blood and a strange green substance. The frightened lady gasps and immediately calls for medical attention. "Keep the monsters collars on and lock him in solitary." and with that all the men are gone as fast as they came only leaving a broken boy in the middle of the floor.

The new boy had been in Arkham for 3 months since he was cleared to leave the infirmary, he hasn't said a word since he got here and all the machines seemed to fail around him all heart monitors flat lining as soon as they are hooked up to him. Due to this strange phenomenon the staff have taken to calling him Fantazmë, Taz for short. It meant ghost in Albanian, the native tongue of his main caretaker during his time in the infirmary.

When he was released from the infirmary the staff in Arkham didn't put him in a cell. Without proper proof of a crime committed and the condition he was in when he got here. They also saw how young this boy was, merely a child. So they gave him a cell but never locked it. Stockpiling an abundance of stuffed animals and colouring books inside his 'room'. He also had free range over the entire asylum. The other inmates were unnerved by the mysterious child. When he walked through the corridors he didn't make a single sound. No ruffing of clothes, no barefooted footsteps onto stone floors, you couldn't even see him breath. Many inmates thought his name extremely fitting. It was only because they can't explain what exactly it is about him that seems so unnatural. They didn't even make sounds as he passed their bars, only observing the creepy specter.

Taz had even earned a reputation outside the walls of Arkham. Released or escaped convicts spreading stories of a ghost child walking around Arkham with pale skin that seemed to radiate light, deathly green eyes more toxic than Poison Ivy's, and ghostly white hair that was always moving as if in a breeze. With people generating theory's and rumors of his origins. He had gained alot of attention. Not all positive.

One day Fantazmë was taking his usual route through the asylum when he decided to go a new route. The guards were always gossiping about this ward "The REALLY crazy ones go there. You don't want to go in there Taz." One of the doctors had told him once when he was eying the corridor. He obviously didn't respond, and now since no one was here to stop him, why not? He walked down the hallway silently. Taz reached a metal door at the end of the hallway there was a sign on it but it seemed to be scratched out, and over top 'WELCOME TO THE PEANUT GALLERY ;D' was painted messily in bold letters. Curious he continued, pushing the heavy door open with ease. The loud sound had alerted the inmates to his entrance. He hears shuffling and rattling throughout the hallway "What's up! I thought lunch was in an hour?" A woman with a high pitch accented voice yells "Maybe its the Bat he doesn't have a schedule." Another female with a smooth voice responds, and loud laughing is suddenly heard echoing through the white walls. "~Ooohhh Batsy Baby~ I knew you couldn't resist me. Here to let me go?" A new crazed male voice says in a singsong voice before laughing again. "Shut up Joker." Another new voice says annoyed. The laughing stops "Or what Johnny boy. You'll make me wet my bed?" The newly identified Joker ask sarcastically, giggling more. Taz blocks out the rest of the argument wanting to put faces on the voices. He continues into the room until he reaches a cell. He notices that these cells are different, completely padded and white with a clear layer facing the walkway and a keypad to the right on the wall. After analyzing the new cells he continues on walking without the prisoners noticing. He reaches the source of where the first voice had come from and sees a lady. Blonde hair in dyed double ponytails. 'Harleen Quinnzell aka Harley Quinn' the file on the wall says. He stares at her for a while until the woman, Harley, finally notices his small figure in front of her cell. She gasps dramatically when she spots him, her eyes comically wide. "Awwwwww!" she squeals "You are so adorable! What's a cutie like you doin' here?" Harley ask Taz who just looks at her unblinking before turning around looking for the source of the second voice. "Hey! Wait where ya going?!" Harley yells after him, and noticing the commotion the other inmates stop arguing. They pressed their faces against the glass "What's going on Harley?" The second voice speaks again, Taz heads to the cell two away from Harley's. It seemed that they were spread out two away from each other. He reads the file 'Pamela Isley aka Poison Ivy' the first thing Taz notices about this woman is that she is very beautiful. flowing red hair and green skin, she reminds him of someone he used to know. "Who are you kid?" Ivy looks down at him through the glass. Taz once again doesn't answer and continues through the room. The next cell has a man in it, 'Jonathan Crane aka Scarecrow' his file says. Scarecrow having saw Taz interact with the others didn't talk to him only looked at him with a critical eye. Having put a name to the third voice. He continues to last cell in the corner of the room. His file says 'Unknown aka The Joker' The man in question is already up to the glass looking down at Fantazmë with a creepy large grin on his pale face. "Why hello there, what is a innocent child like you doing down here?" Joker ask. The other inmates were now paying attention to the interaction between the two people. Taz doesn't talk, he only stares with unblinking green eyes. His hair moving indefinitely. Taz finally blinks and turns around, he is intrigued by these strange people. He sits down in the middle of the floor and lies down curling into the fetal position and closing his eyes. He is about to fall asleep to the sound of the inmates arguing and talking about him when the door to the room opens. "Fantazmë! What are you doing in here! We told you not to come here!" The doctor who previously told him to stay out runs in and crouches down next to him. "Lets get you out of here." She says grabbing his hand. He snarls at her, the first real reaction out of him since he got here. She gasp and lets go of him "Taz? We have to go. Now." Cackling could be heard in the back of the room "Oh doctor leave the poor boy alone. Don't you see he was sleeping?" The doctor stands up and turns around to the Jokers cell. Taz isn't really sure why he has to leave its nice in here "Come on Fantazmë lets go. Now." She grabs him again and Taz yanks his arm back "No," he whispers so quietly that you can barely hear him. "What did you say?" The doctor says quietly, Taz looks up at her "No, no go." He whispers again. The woman's eyes widen "Oh, ok." she says then walks out in a daze, stunned by his echo like voice. "Well you got her to leave pretty easily. How'd ya do it?" Harley ask him curiously. Taz just looks at all of them, "Back soon." He says then disappears from the inmates views.
