I pushed from the thin mattress of the cot and took cautious steps towards the door. Just as I reached for the handle the door swung open and two orderlies rushed through. Each swooped me up by my arms and slammed me backwards towards the bed. I twisted and turned, trying my best to not let the restraints clamp against my wrists. Two more orderlies entered and stopped my legs from kicking. Buckles snapped tightly to both my ankles and wrists. The leather was tight and scratchy against my skin. I pulled and jerked, letting out a scream of frustration. What was this? What could I have possibly done now? Fuck, I hadn’t even left my room in days. NOW, they wanted me in here. My attempts to break free stopped when I heard the heavy door open with a slow scrap of the steel door against the concrete flooring. My eyes moved to stare at Batgirl as she entered the room. “𝙷𝚎𝚢 𝚐𝚒𝚛𝚕, 𝚑𝚎𝚢.. 𝚜𝚘 … 𝚠𝚎 𝚗𝚎𝚎𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚢 𝚙𝚞𝚝.” The fuck was she talking about. I need to stay put? What the hell for what?

The needle dripped with a clear liquid as Batgirl prepped it. I shook my head. I didn’t want this. I knew what was in the syringe. They had used it before to knock me out.}] “𝒩𝒪...𝓃𝑜...𝓃𝑜...𝒞'𝓂𝑜𝓃...𝐼 𝓌𝒶𝓈 𝒿𝓊𝓈𝓉 𝒿𝑜𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔..𝐼 𝓀𝓃𝑜𝓌 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓇𝑜𝒷𝒾𝓃 𝑔𝑜𝓉 𝒶 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑔𝑜𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑜𝓃..” “𝙸𝚝’𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚊𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙷𝚊𝚛𝚕𝚜. 𝚃𝚛𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚖𝚎, 𝚢𝚘𝚞’𝚕𝚕 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚗𝚊𝚙.” “𝒲𝒽𝓎?

My eyes moved, watching as she pressed the syringe down. Instantly my head felt heavy on my shoulder. Blinking became a task as I tried my hardest to fight the sedation. Batgirl moved her hand to brush the hair that had fallen over my eyes. She pulled back to pull the glove free and pressed her fingers at my forehead to brush down over my eyelids. As my vision became blurry I saw a black shadow figure enter the room.}] “𝐈𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐭? “𝙰𝚕𝚖𝚘𝚜𝚝” [{I struggled to keep my focus, wanting to know what they were talking about. Needing to know why, this was ordered. What was the plan? Fuck, were they taking me to Arkham? Goddamnit. Maybe I should’ve listened and answered their stupid ass questions. I gave into the feeling of defeat. Maybe this would be it. Maybe I would meet the final darkness. No more fear. No more pain. No more hurt. No more.. Anything.
