What did she need? What did she want? What could I tell her to do?

"Oh, well, you're doing a good job then."

She bounced in place, which almost fatally distracted me. "Of course I am," she spun, into a cartwheel, then a backflip, only to land right in front of me again. If I had a gun, I might have tried something, but the cattle prod I had was just begging to get taken away.

I slowly pulled out the silent alarm. "So, you should push the silent alarm, to summon the guards," I hoped that counted as a command.

She laughed again. "You're alright Charlie, I'll only hurt ya a bit!" she said as she pushed the button.

"There's no need for that, surely if you just take us hostage, that will be enough of a dist--"

And then everything went black.

Yeah, Harley knocked me out. I woke up in medical. Joker had escaped. Harley was eventually beaten **** and seven guards were in medical. True to her word, I'd been hurt the least of all of them and could go home, with just a few meds and orders to get my head checked out every day before I started work.

I genuinely don't know if I was clever, or just distracted, but I'd drawn Doctor Young, and after she poked me with her freezing hands, I snapped that she could at least rub them together before poking me. Which she did. And I had to have her explain the meds at least twice, which she also did...

Then there was a debriefing with Francine, which wasn't fun, as she just chewed me out, even though I never had a chance against a meta. But I did get told about overtime (none available) and medical (use Arkham's facilities), before I could ask/command her to tell me. The trip home wasn't fun, but I was very fucking curious about what the app would show.

And any desire to share with the dickheads at Arkham had disappeared.

AN: So, just to be clear...yeah, Elias is not going to be overpowering supervillains (at least not physically without a LOT of help from the app).
