Lisbeth woke up confused and disoriented in the most comfortable bed she had ever been in. She wiped at her eyes and looked around the room; it made a small smile grace her tired face. This room was definitely all Harley and she was beyond happy that Harley was back at home rather than locked away in Belle Reve.

She wished she could say she slept well but it had been years since she went to bed sober and the nightmares had kept her up, it seemed, at least once an hour

She wished she could say she slept well but it had been years since she went to bed sober and the nightmares had kept her up, it seemed, at least once an hour.

People often asked Lisbeth why she empathized with Harley so much. She never answered but she knew in heart that it was because we all need something to silence the demons. The only reason she was on the other side of the bars from Harley was because drinking in your bed at night was a lot more secretive than making a serial killer your main man and shooting up half the city.

As she leaned back in the mountain of pillows she heard a soft knock on the door. She bolted up as the door slowly opened.

"Excuse me, miss? May I come in?" She saw a blonde head peek around the door.
"Yes." She squeaked out. The blonde head came the rest of  the way in and she saw a smiling man...barely a man, she thought though; he couldn't be much older than her 18 year old baby brother.

"Hi miss," he said in a bright voice, reminiscent of more of a college frat boy than a person in employment of a dangerous criminal, "My name is Brandon." Lisbeth looked him up and down a slight smile turned up on her lips as she looked at his ridiculous costume. She couldn't figure out why most of Joker's men wore such strange costumes.

Brandon smiled brighter as he saw Lisbeth looking at his strange attire. "Yea...it takes some getting used to," he chuckled out. "But, hey, if Johnny Depp can pull it off, I can too!"

Lisbeth couldn't help but laugh as the Mad Hatter took a step forward

Lisbeth couldn't help but laugh as the Mad Hatter took a step forward.

"How did you sleep, miss?"

"I wish I could say I slept better but...it was a tough night." Lisbeth said looking down at her hands.

Brandon let out a small laugh that had Lisbeth looking back up at him. "It's all right, me too. Imagine being on call for Mister J and having to listen to him and Harley make up for lost time allllllllll night!"
