It had been a long time since a smile spread across to both sides of his face. Moonlight kissed the silver of the coin as it flipped through the air. Carefully he had snuck it into Arkham with him. Knowing they would most likely put him into solitary having the coin with him would help him sleep. It landed scared side up beside his knee on the cool gray floor.

“I can always try and escape tomorrow. Time to sleep,” He whispered to himself.

He picked up the coin and tucked it back into its hiding place. Closing his eyes, he hunkered down into the corner of his cell and hoped that no nightmares would plague him.

Letting out a small purr, she stretched her tired and aching muscles. Tonight her scrap with Batman left her tired. She would go to sleep in solitary content she may not have gotten the original copy of T.S. Eliot’s book of cat poems, but she had at least stolen and got that kiss from Batman she wanted. Even then, she knew his guilt would get to him and he’d still bring her to Arkham. Before drifting off, she hoped he remembered to stop by her hideout and leave a saucer of milk for the girls.

“Oooooo,” Cooing as she lovingly caressed the vines that had entwined themselves around the bars of her cell window. She was relieved to be in solitary she hated sharing a cell. Unless of course it was with Harley, as long as she wasn’t hankering after that clown freak.

“Good night, baby.”

She laid down on a patch of grass; at least they allowed that in solitary. They wouldn’t allow the heating lamp or her other plants.

“Huh!” She awoke with a start; she could’ve sworn someone just had been in her cell. Narrowing her eyes focused on a sliver of moonlight that sliced into her room. Her heart thumped heavily against her chest as she crawled over to the single red rose. She laid with her back to room, as she gazed down at the rose. Sighing, lightly she traced the edges of the red petals with her fingers before bringing it to her nose. The musky scent reminded her of Puddin. She held it to her heart before falling back to sleep, hoping it wasn’t just a dream.

He had mastered sneaking single stem roses to her office; it was a trickier endeavor when they were both in solitary. It was still fun to pull off. He knew this would please his Pooh. A twinge of joy filled him, he noticed it felt different then when unleashed his toxin in someone’s face. He could see her holding the rose to her cute pixie nose, her blue eyes almost crossing while looking at it. Any anger he felt earlier for her getting them back into Arkham was gone. Thinking of her cuteness, he let out a final chuckle and fell asleep.
