Gordon nodded, "She was abducted separately...after Harvey went missing. What worries me though is something I've kept away from most everyone...due to a respect for Dent's privacy." Jim looked around and took Ciel aside. "Harvey has been seeing a therapist for quite some time. He suffers from a severe case of Dissociative Identity Disorder that crops up under times of stress or agitation. I've seen it myself, it's like he turns into an entirely different person. However, he's been doing very well with therapy and medication...but he didn't want anyone to know lest it impact his work for the DA's office."<br/><br/>"I'm worried that whatever the Joker has arranged to do to him could result in something very bad..."<br/><br/>Joker was heard by them from the interrogation room:<br/><br/>"These people need you right now...but when they don't? They'll cast you out like a leper! The morals...their code? It's a bad joke which is dropped at the first sign of trouble." Joker ranted as he approached the glass and peered into the mirror, knowing the GCPD and Ciel were on the other side. "You're all only as good as the world allows you to be....and I'll show you Bats....when the chips are down these so called civilized people?"<br/><br/>"They'll EAT each other."<br/><br/>Batman had heard enough, and grabbed the back of Joker's head and smashed his face into the glass. "Where are they?!"<br/><br/>"Hahahahahahaha!!" Joker cackled as he fell to the floor and Batman began smashing his fist into the clown's face and stomping on him. "You have NOTHING! Nothing you can do to threaten me!! Nothing you can do with all that strength!"<br/><br/>Batman grabbed Joker by the throat, "Don't worry! I'll tell you where they are!! And that's the point...you'll have to choose between two lives...but only be able to save one! HA HA HA HA!"<br/><br/>Batman loosened his grip slightly, "What did you do?"<br/><br/>"I took Gotham's favorite attorney...and brought him down to our level! It's not hard..considering he's already halfway there..y'see madness is like gravity!"<br/><br/>"All it takes...is a little...push!"<br/><br/>=Unknown Location...a short while later=<br/><br/>Harvey stirred awake, bound to a chair...he was hearing it...a growling voice...in his head. "Harvey....poor sad little Harvey...looks like you're in need of some help. How the mighty have fallen, eh?"<br/><br/>"Y-you....leave me alone...I don't...I don't need you!" Harvey's brow began to bead with sweat from concentration.<br/><br/>"Oh, but you do! You'll be dead if you don't!"<br/><br/>"Harvey?!" A voice came over a nearby speaker.<br/><br/>"Gilda!?" Dent called out.<br/><br/>"Harvey..I'm scared...he...he said only one of us would make it out." Gilda tearfully said.<br/><br/>"N-no....no! I won't let anything happen to you!" Harvey said as he began to rock the chair back and forth until he fell over and knocked a nearby oil drum onto it's side.<br/><br/>As the murky liquid poured out and Dent lay on his side with it pooling onto his face and left arm...he screamed.<br/><br/>Burning<br/><br/>Sizzling<br/><br/>Scorching pain the likes of which he'd never felt before.<br/><br/>"Harvey!? Harvey!" Gilda cried out just as Sebastian burst into her location and Batman burst into Harvey's. Batman untied Harvey and hauled him up, still screaming and wailing about his face. Batman's white slits widened, "My...god..."<br/><br/>Later, the ambulances arrived and Harvey was placed on a gurney and the left side of his badly scalded and burned body was covered in bandages. "Mr. Dent, please we're only trying to-!" an EMT cried out as Harvey swatted at his face, badly scratching his cheek deeply.<br/><br/>"NO NO! GET AWAY! AAARGH!" Dent writhed and shrieked, his vocal cords had been badly damaged by the acid it sounded.
