Jenny? Jenny, Jenny full of hay. Jenny, Jenny made of clay. Throw her from the River Nile. Watch as Jenny drowns awhile. Jenny''s double danced around her in her mind. All Jenny saw though was black. The blackness of the void that surrounded them. Jenny''s dual image leaned over her. Jenny?
Jenny tried to say something, but nothing happened. Her dual image poked her.
Jen? Hey, are you okay? Her mind asked her. guys butt. The image furled her brow and slapped Jenny across the face, which really didn''t hurt. Jenny Pierce! How dare you ignore me!
Jenny woke with a start. She could feel various tubes going into her. She groaned and lifted her head to look around her. In the bed next to her, Bruce Wayne was reading a newspaper. He looked over at her and briefly adjusted his glasses.
""Are you awake?"" Bruce asked. Jenny blinked and tried sitting up. Bruce climbed out of his bed and went to stand over her. He looked at her vital signs they were looking good. Jenny looked up at Bruce and tried to move her right arm. She let out a small whimper when her arm wouldn''t move and when the pain hit her. ""You got shot."" Jenny flashed him a knowing glare. ""Don''t try to move. You''ll be fine.""
Jenny swallowed and closed her eyes. Her legs wouldn''t move either. With her left hand, Jenny felt her back as best she could. Bruce pulled her hand back around.
""You''ll be okay"" Bruce said. ""The Joker left you with your left arm unharmed."" Bruce took off his hospital gown, revealing that he was smart enough to wear sweatpants underneath, to show his bandage. ""I got shot too.""
""Where''s Dick?"" Jenny asked in a hoarse voice.
""Dick was called home for an emergency"" Bruce said. ""So, he''ll be back in Gotham as soon as he can be.""
""Joker?"" Jenny asked.
""Nightwing took him in"" Bruce said. ""Kicked the shit of the Joker and Harley, then dragged them back to Arkham."" Bruce put a hand on her left shoulder. ""Just get some rest.""
When Jenny woke up a second time, she felt better. She looked over at the bed next to hers, but it was empty and untouched. A doctor was in the room taking notes on her status.
""Mr. Wayne was released two days ago, Miss Pierce"" The doctor said. The doctor smiled and looked down at her. ""The good news is that the bullet to your shoulder missed your bone and tendons. It was a clean shot through the muscle. You''ll have a scar, but it''s already starting to close up nicely.""
"
""Bad news?"" Jenny asked. Her head felt woozy, like she was drunk.
""Your right hand will be out of commission for a month or two"" The doctor said. ""We had to do extensive surgery on it."" The doctor held up his hand and pointed to the back of his hand, predominately the middle fingers long bone. ""We had to replace this bone with a metal rod and we had to put some of your veins and arteries back together with plastic tubing. You''ll be okay, but try not to move your fingers or your hand.""
""My legs?"" Jenny asked. Her throat felt dry and sticky.
""Nothing too major"" The doctor said. ""The bullet on your left leg chipped the bone slightly, but if you keep off of it for a week, then you''ll be fine. The shot to your right leg was another lucky shot. It went through the muscle on your outer thigh.""
""How long do I have to stay here?"" Jenny asked.
""A week"" The doctor said.
""Why can''t I move?"" Jenny asked.
""We gave you morphine for the pain"" The doctor said. “Get some rest, Miss Pierce.""
The next few days faded in and out like bad dreams. After receiving a fresh dose of morphine, Jenny had started screaming when she saw a blonde nurse smiling at her. These events occurred for almost a full week. Then, one morning on waking, Jenny found Bruce Wayne and Alfred staring back at her.
""How are you feeling, Miss Pierce?"" Alfred asked.
""Are you real?"" Jenny asked. Bruce moved by Alfred and, to Jenny''s eyes, disappeared.
""She''s on morphine"" Bruce said.
""We’re quite real"" Alfred said. He touched her hand. Bruce came back into her line of vision.
""We''ve been trying to contact your parents"" Bruce said.
""My parents are dead to me"" Jenny said. ""They really --"" She lifted her left hand. ""Blood. There''s blood on me!""
""That''s the morphine"" Bruce said. ""You''re fine.""
""Morphine?"" Jenny said. Jenny kept trying to wipe the blood, which only she saw, on the sheet.
""Alfred, make sure she doesn''t start thrashing around"" Bruce said. Bruce left.
""My dog"" Jenny said putting her hand to her head.
""Don''t worry"" Alfred said. ""We have taken him in until you get out of here.""
""Really?"" Jenny said. Alfred nodded. ""Thanks, Alfred.""
""You''re welcome, Miss"" Alfred replied. He glanced behind him. ""I must be going now. You just rest and feel better.""
""Wait"" Jenny said. ""My Batman picture.""
""It''s sitting in Master Wayne''s private study"" Alfred said. ""We had to get it re-framed, but it''s safe."" He gave her a smile. ""People have been asking about it.""
Jenny smiled. Alfred patted her hand and left.
Jenny opened her eyes. The lights were off and the room looked like it had been vandalized. The glass had a layer of dust over it and the curtain rod had been knocked halfway off the wall. On the wall opposite her, various spray paint jobs had been done.
""What?"" Jenny asked sitting up. She looked around her and shed wed when a large snake crawled out from under her covers. She fell out of the bed and pulled herself upright. She was in pain, but she looked fine. Her hand didn''t have any scars.
She looked up towards the door. Staring back at her through the small window was the Joker. Jenny stumbled backwards until she felt the wall connect with her back.
The door opened and no one was there.
""What''s going on?!"" Jenny yelled.
Run. Her mind told her. Jenny followed the instructions and ran out of the room. Right. Jenny took a right and stopped at the elevators. Batman will save you. Go up.
""I want to go down"" Jenny said.
Go up. Jenny grabbed her head and screamed. The hospital was entirely empty and dark. The echoing sounds of footsteps made Jenny turn around. Walking towards her was the Joker, a gun in each hand.
""Paper girl! There you are!"" The Joker said. She could see the evil smile on his face. She pounded on the elevator button until it opened. The doors closed just as the Joker was about to step into the elevator. Jenny pressed the button to go up.
She groaned and fell to the floor. Her legs and right hand were hurting. She could hear the haunting laughter of the Joker, when she got off on the topmost floor.
""SHUT UP!"" Jenny yelled. She picked herself up and ran down the hallway. She was starting to double over as she ran. She leaned against a wall as pain shot through her body.
Ignore the pain. Just run. Her mind said. Jenny tried to run, but fell to the floor instead. As she picked herself up and was on hands and knees, a black and purple shoe appeared before her.
""Checkmate"" The Joker said. Jenny felt a weight on top of her before the blackness closed in.
When Jenny woke up she felt like crap. But, she knew she was coherent. Straps were holding her down to the bed. She bent her left arm up to touch the heavy strap that was across her chest. A nurse came into the room.
""W-why am I strapped down?"" Jenny asked.
""You don''t remember?"" The nurse asked. Jenny shook her head ''no''. ""You made it up to the fifteenth floor screaming that the Joker was after you.""
""You''re kidding"" Jenny said.
""Nope"" The nurse said. ""It took two men to grab you and bring you back down here.""
""I''m sorry"" Jenny said. ""I feel different though.""
""At Mr. Wayne''s request, you were taken off the morphine"" The nurse said. ""That Mr. Wayne really seems to like you.""
""What about Mr. Grayson?"" Jenny asked.
""Mr. Grayson hasn''t been here since you were brought in last time"" The nurse said.
""How long before I can leave?"" Jenny asked.
""One more day"" The nurse said. ""We want to make sure the morphine has run its course.""
Jenny raised her left hand to find that she still thought it looked bloody. The nurse smiled and left.
