beep. beep. beep.

The room was filled with an obnoxious beeping noise as I began to wake up, my eyes still closed. I wondered what it was since I knew that this was not the usual sound the joker would use to wake me up.

Maybe he decided to change my alarm.

I sighed and opened my heavy eyelids, only to be blinded by bright lights. I squinted, trying to adjust to my surroundings. 

Once my eyes adjusted, I looked around and realized I wasn't in my room or the jokers. In fact, I had never seen this room before. 

I continued to look around for the obnoxious beeping, only to find myself looking at a heart monitor. I realized then that I was in some kind of medical room, possibly set up in the manor.

I groaned and decided to get up, hissing at the pain and remembering what had happened the night before. He truly was the evil, insane man that I had once believed him to be.

As I got off my bed, another beeping sound started only, this time, it was much much louder, and I covered my ears, groaning. Suddenly a women ran in, she was wearing scrubs and had blonde hair tied into a ponytail.

I remembered the girl that had been with the joker all those years ago, she almost perfectly matched the description except she didn't have tattoos or red and blue tips.

"H-H-Harley?"

My voice was hoarse and dry and I coughed trying to clear it as the women spotted me and sighed coming over to me. She gently put a hand on my shoulder but I backed away.

"No sweety, I know this must be confusing but I'm your nurse, Marsha. You're in the hospital."

"T-The hospital"

She nodded and looked at me pitifully. She grabbed a green pouch from under my blanket and pressed a button, making the loud noise stop.

"Now, let's get you in bed, we wouldn't want you pulling your I.V.'s out."

I nodded and carefully got back into the large white bed, now aware of the tubes connected to my arm.

"why am I here?"

I asked as she wrote something down on a clipboard. She set it down and went over to the machine that the I.V. was hooked up to, pressing a few buttons.

"You were left here, presumably by your kidnapper, who many are saying is the joker. You were bleeding out by the time he got you here and rushed into emergency. You were then given a blood transfusion and your cuts were stitched up. You were then able to leave emergency and your friend, cassie I believe, paid for a room for you to stay in so you wouldn't have to share a public room. You were then hooked up to food and water because the doctors said that you were in a small coma from the blood loss."

"c-coma?! How long have I been here?"

"not long, about three days. Cassie visits every day and the Gotham police dept wants to talk to you."

I just nodded. I bit my lip thinking of everything as she started to leave but ended up stopping her one more time.

"Hey! Can I have something to eat? I'm starving."

"Right now you're connected to a bag of food that is pumped through your I.V. every few hours but now that you're awake, I'll ask the doctor if you can be switched to food by mouth. If you can, breakfast is in an hour."

I nodded and thanked her. I sat up on the bed looking around. In front of me was a TV mounted to the wall, On the right of me was the bathroom, on the left, was two giant windows that looked out on the city and I didn't know what was behind me. 

I silently stared out the window, the realization that I was free finally hitting me. I smiled as I looked at the cars and buildings, my eye landing on the biggest of all, Wayne enterprise.

 I started to think of how life would go back to normal, I would start my job at Arkham, go back to living in my apartment, talk to cassie, get a boyfriend or girlfriend and Just be happy. Or at least as happy as you can be in Gotham, a place filled with thieves and hookers, where you can't even trust the law enforcement. 

I rolled my eyes thinking of all the politicians and police then had ended up being, well, two faced. No one really trusted them after that guy, Harvey I think his name was, got caught.

But then I started to think about other things, joker related things, things that I wished I could just forget. I thought of how he kidnapped me, toyed with my emotions, tortured me and was starting to make me go insane.

I remembered everything about him, so vividly that he might as well be standing right in front of me. I remembered his scars and where they were, his tattooed skin, his scent, his laugh, his...lips and how they felt on mine, but mostly I remembered his insanity.

I wanted to cry as the scenes of me being tortured played over and over in my head. I was just happy that he was far far away. But then that made me think of more things involving him.

The biggest thing I thought of was why he has just let me go. He seemed so hell bent on keeping me and making me just like Harley, making me a new one of his toys. But then it hit me.

He only brought me to the hospital so I wouldn't die, as soon as I'm better he'll get me back.

But I shook my head at the thought, that couldn't be true, or at least I hoped it wasn't. I was safe from him, I was safe and far far away from him. Anyways, he could've fixed me at his manor, I know that he has the equipment to fix me up. So then, why did he let me go.

Just as I was thinking about it, something caught my eyes. Along with the bouquets of flowers and balloons, there was a single red rose in a vase. I reached over and grabbed it off the table, almost dropping it when I saw the tag.

Get better soon. -J

I shook my head, instantly putting it back on the table as I tried to calm down.

I'm fine. I'm in the hospital, there's no way he could get to me, or at least not without notifying someone of his presence first.

I sighed as my head whipped to the door as it came flying open.

"AUTUMN!"

I let go of the breath that I didn't know I was holding as I looked over at cassie, who came rushing in with more flowers and balloons. She quickly set them down on the small bit of room on the night stand before hugging me.

"Oh my god I'm so glad you're okay! I've been worried about you since that day at the hospital when you were captured! I should've done something! I'm so so so sorry!"

I just smiled and hugged her. I heard her sniffle and she stood back up, lightly dabbing her eyes so she wouldn't mess up her makeup.

"I'm glad to see you too Cassie, and don't blame yourself, It wasn't anyone's fault."

She just nodded, smiling. I knew that technically it was her fault since she was the one who had screamed signaling him but I wasn't going to say anything. And anyways, he said he was looking for me so he would've found me sooner or later anyways.

"So, what was it like? What was he like?"

I sighed, looking down, I knew she meant well but the wounds were still fresh and I wasn't ready to talk about it yet.

"Oh...Sorry, I probably shouldn't have asked that....Well, I'm glad you're awake!"

She grabbed my hand and smiled and I nodded, I was happy too, but I still had that gnawing feeling in my stomach, that this was not the last I had seen of the Joker.
