I woke up to darkness around me. I couldn't see anything. I could only feel cold chains holding me down to what I think was a chair.

I wondered how big the room was so I whistled. I listened to the echo but there wasn't any. The room must be small or have stuff in it.

I heard a noise. I could barely hear it but I closed my eyes and concentrated on what I heard.

"How can there be no reaction? Everyone is scared of something."

"Well not you...you said you didn't have one..."

"My fear is for my experiment to lead me no were."

"Should we send her back? She looks awfully familiar,maybe she is important."

"Important to experiment, she must have a fear she must."

I heard foot steps get closer and closer as a sigh was heard. "Go get me some concentrated by 10% that should be enough." I heard the noise get closer until it stopped.

I could almost hear him breathing a few yards before me. He didn't scare me. He sounded like a high school teacher. I cleared my throat and straightened up.

"Can you turn the light on? It would be nice to meet you without feeling that its a blind date." I said and the breathing stopped. The light switched on blinding me for a second as it dimmed down.

I was in what seemed a concrete basement. It looked moist so it must be underground. I look at the guy before me in a dark suit with a bag mask over his head.

"Why aren't you scared?" He said barely audible threw the muffle of the bag. I looked at him for a long time and shrugged. "Ive been in way way worse...and Im not scared of anything." I said to him as he took a step forward.

He pulled out a gun and aimed it at my head. I looked at the barrel of it and back to him. "Are you scared now?" He said and I raised a eyebrow at him. "No" I said and I could see in his eyes I got him by surprise.

"Why not...I could kill you by just a pull of a trigger." He said and I looked at him and cracked a grin. I started chuckling as he walked closer and acted more bad ass. I started laughing full blast as he pulled the trigger and it just made a clicking sound.

"You-you aren't gonna kill-HAHAHAHAHA-your not gonna kill me with a gun that has no cartridge and that has the safety on!" I said laughing again. I laughed so hard I had to scrunch up to hold my sides.

He pulled the trigger again and checked to see if it was loaded. It wasn't. He threw the gun and made a annoyed grunting sound as I laughed harder at this guy.

Threw my watery eyes I saw the guy put a gas mask on as a guy came in. He threw in a cylinder that started throwing gas as I kept on laughing.

I saw him take the drugs out and walk away as I ran to the boy dead on the floor. Something was different. I didn't feel mad or sad or scared at what I saw. I saw that kid lying across the bleachers laughing with me in high school. I caught a glimpse of his face as we laughed and laughed.

I kept on laughing as The vision blurred. I heard shots being shot as my sight came back and I wiped my tears on my sleeve and left a small smile on my face as I looked at the scene before me.

"What did ya do to her!?!" I heard the raspy maniacal voice and I straightened up. "I gave her some of my fear serum" I heard a shaky voice as I looked at Joker pinning the scarecrow guy against the wall with his Blade at his throat.

"Why the fuck was she laughing like a lunatic?" He growl at him as they looked at me. I saw his eyes soften and then go into anger as he looked back at the guy. "Unlike you, she had a reaction. She had laughter even when she didn't have a fear like you." He said as Joker threw him on the ground.

"Does she look like a fucking lab rat?" He said as my head went blurry. "But its for the sake of science!" I heard him wine and then a thud was heard of the body dropping. I heard gas spill out as I groaned from the ache in my side.

I heard steps and mixed curses get closer to me as blinked the furry vision away. "Ya okay doll?" I heard in front of me as my arms fell beside me. "Yeah...I think I had to many drinks." I said holding my head and chuckling to my self.

I pushed my self up and fell to the chair as my head pounded. "Hehe ya need help there?" He said as I grabbed my head. I heard the gas stop spilling and looked at Joker. "Is that laughing gas?" I asked failing to stand up.

"Its fear gas doll." He said softly. "Then why does it...hehe, make me...smile." I said laughing a bit. "The only one that makes me smile is you...thats probably why." I said clutching his face and kissing it as I laughed again.

All of a sudden my vision went clear and my mind went blank as I finally inhaled that gas and blinked mindlessly. I looked over at Joker that had the most confused face ever.

"Fear is a funny thing you know." I said and looked at my lap. I smiled at my lap and the sound of the guys laughter.

"Your really funny ya know that?" He said as I wiped my sleeve and looked off to the stormy wet football field. "Well we got to have at least some joy in our crappy lives." I said and leaned back with him. "I wish it lasted, Doll but we gotta go." He said and my smile dropped.

<><><>

"Come on wake up doll we gotta go."

I snapped my eyes open and sat up straight and looked around. I was on my couch and had Jack crouched up before me with my dogs sitting by his side.

"Thank god your awake...you have been laughing for hours...and I thought I sounded crazy...you finally stopped a few minutes ago." He said and I sat up and buried my head in my knees. I looked up at him as they all tilted their heads to look at me.

I smiled and hugged him as he tensed up. "Uh, any reason why ya having so many mood swings doll? Is it that time of the month again?" He said as I kissed his cheek and let him go. "No it is not...I don't get mood swings unless I'm...uh my head." I said grabbing my head.

"Unless I have a hang over...which I don't remember working up to." I said. "Well My Young Beauty...ya need sleep. Ya cant help me take over gotham if your like this." He said and then I felt his arms go around me and lift me up Bridal Style and I panicked.

"The hell put me down!" I said in panic. "You cant even walk so no." He said and I looked around franticlly as the dogs followed him.

"Your going to break your back put me down!" I said to him and he laughed. "Im stronger than I look doll. And your not that heavy." He said as he set me down on a bed. I clutched the sheets as a shiver over came me.

"You okay doll?" He said as I squinted my eyes at the light that was on. "The light hurts and Im cold." I muttered. The room went dark and then I felt the bed sink beside me.

"Ya had me worried there doll." He said wrapping his arms around me. "The Joker was worried?" I said mocking him as I snuggled into the warmth. "No I thought my plan was going to fail if you were dead." He said and I pinched him.

"Ouch!" He said as I laughed. We stayed quiet for a long time but I didn't drift off to sleep. I just listen to the beating sound of a heart to get my mind off of my head ache.

"What did ya see when you were asleep? You kept on laughing." He said and I moved a bit. "When I was in high school, I was laughing with a kid at school ." I said as his grip tightened a bit. "The one that always had the hoodie on remember?" I muttered and he softened up his grip.

"Did you like that kid?" He asked and I shrugged. "I think so...I don't know he was like my friend even if I don't remember his name if he ever told me. My memories blurry from my past." I said.

"I need to go to work...what the hell am I going to do just walk in there like if nothing happened. When all those stupid memories came back to life." I muttered.

"Smile, because it confuses people,Doll." He said and I looked up at him as I could see nothing but the dark.

"Smile because its easier than explaining what is killing you inside." He said and I felt him kiss my forehead as I hugged him tighter.

I smiled to my self a bit and laughed lightly. "Whats so funny?"I heard him say. "We are both criminal lunatics but I honestly feel pretty sane with you right now." I said and he laughed. He looked down with a look that I never thought he would be able to give anybody...but then again I ain't anybody.

"I almost forgot how it felt to be sane."
