I began this story expecting an intriguing, if trite, self-insert fic. I was very wrong. That last scene in Chapter 2 sucker-punched me. Wow.

Story would have been better if the other character would have been a man, balances things with other perspectives

So far Brigitte and Megan have been put through the emotion ringer.
Just when I thought they were safe with the Bat-family the Scarecrow finds them. :(

Please continue.

I say, that quote is one of my favorites from the movie! And I think it fit the girls quite well. Honestly, I think at the end even Harley and Ivy (who are the ones who like the girls as them, not as an "object") will be happy to see them rising from the ashes. They are well aware they are criminals (no matter if Ivy's reasons are at least not as bad as some of the others -she is a bioterrorist, we could say, I mean) well, point is, they know Megan and Bridge are above this. They are better. They are something good and pure, as if they can look at them and feel some hope. I remember the comic "Killing Joke" (not sure this is the name in english) in which Batman tried to tell Joker they could TRY to help him, to not leave him all alone, but the Joker told him it was just too late for him. I feel Ivy and Harley may see this in the girls. The freedom, the hopes, the place they lost. They won't regret their choices, however I think even criminals sometimes dream about a "normal" life (I remember an episode of the animated series in which Ivy tried to have a "normal" family -eh... At her style, but even Batman said she was probably sad for losing this and also I read that once in a comic, the Scarecrow tried to go back to teaching). I feel this for Megan and Bridge. They are something better, stronger in some sense. A balance that the others lost.
As I said, I doubt Bridge has Stockholm and this proved. She is human, so no doubt she will care about people (and, okay, the Riddler wasn't too bad to her), but she isn't kidding herself like Harley.
When she woke, I was nervous. I mean, I always say: We can't NOT get involved with your descriptions (this goes for both of you). You know, I even wonder if the girls also have a sort of "seeing beyond the veil" thing going on. Or maybe those ARE just hallucinations? I have to say that I don't even know anymore! You made a knot out of my brain!
And hallucination or not, Emily is such a BITCH! No, seriously, Megan and Bee may have walked away on her, they may have left, but Emily's choices were HERS! It' not like they pushed her to do it (like someone abusing someone mentally until they snap, then I consider it their fault to). Yes, perhaps they could have been better friends, but this doesn't mean Emily can say they killed her. There are several cases when someone can be indirectly responsible for one's death (even suicide), but I wouldn't consider THIS one of those.
The fact of those men... Well... Okay, I don't know. You got me there.
Jackson? Have I heard of him? No offense if he was mentioned, but I can't remember. Oh, gosh, I feel awful, I need to read the other chapters again. Anyway, another jerk. Great (note the sarcasm, please).
Wait... Did he... Did he do what I thought he did? Because if he did, I swear I'll... I'll...
...
You know this Wolf here you have for a reader is sort of bonkers, right? Yeah.
Geez, "nice enough"? That's what I say when I look in the mirror on a nice day (what? I'm not pretty and I know it. I mean, I'm not disgusting, I'm just really, really reaally avarage). This wasn't even a compliment, what an ass! And I thought some of the Rogues could get on my nerves.
Hmmm, perhaps that's one of the reasons Bee wanted to kill the Hatter for being so "touchy-freely" (or whatever) with Megs? Hmmmm...
...
You know what I thought? Jackson's reasoning of being sane actually makes all worse. Riddler and Scarecrow are OFF THE HOOK. Lost their marbles. Their screws are all loose and jumping. Piradinhos. Loucos. Fora da real. Tantãs-Goiabeira. If Jackson was sane, this also means he was very much AWARE of what he was doing. He was not some "yandere-loco" with a twisted vision of the world. Not that I believe anyone is 100% sane (this, by itself, would be insanity. With the world and problems we have to face, no one can have absolute pristine sanity -great, I must sound soo stupid, but I can't really explain this), but THIS? I want this guy's skin. I want to get my hands on him and do things that would make Ramsay fucking Bolton to pee his pants!
And please, he makes Bee sound like a masochist. While perhaps, and I mean by a long stretch, they don't want this but believe they DESERVE it due to Emily, this is not the same thing. Somehow now I thought about Hanajima from Fruits Basket OH! Btw, you girls saw that there is Fruits Basket Another? YEAH! My life has a meaning again! I started to read and I'm so in love and the characters are so cool, I do hope we get to see Tohru and the others, which I think we will, because...
I'm not kidding, I always write those reviews as I read, so sorry I got side-tracked. Back to the point!
And seeing Bee's mother cemented this is hallucination and not seeing the dead (hey, Bruce did something of the sort with Megs -thanks for nothing), because there is no WAY in Hell a mother would say this, unless she was an abusive bitch.
Please, please, can I punch this Other Voice in Megan's Mind? Want my answer? Right! I'll be a nightmare. I'll be the terror lurking in shadows, waiting for the moment to crush your sanity and make you curse your existence! Because I have no doubt Megan would become this to protect Bee and Bee would do it for Megan. What can you do, try to use a dream to keep you safe from nightmares? This sounds cute and romantic, but reality is too harsh for this. What you truly need is a nightmare to protect you from other nightmares. Dreams are dreams, fragile and breakable. Mere illusions of desire and deep wishes. Nightmares are stronger. They are harder to break and harder to run away from. The fear they cause can stay and shatter every dream. So, yes, it takes a monster to fight a monster! SO THERE, YOU STUPID VOICE!
Argh!
Look, I still don't see Megan using Bee and being a bad friend. So perhaps she sometimes wasn't the best, but this doesn't mean their affection was false or their friendship was just using. Perhaps Megan hurt the people she merely walked away from when she didn't want their friendship anymore, but with Bee things are different!
And interrogation system my ass, that's torture.
What criminals? New information? Something about what truly happened? Hm? Curious here, girls!
Oh, boy... Awkward here much? But at the same time... So adooorable! The fact that he knows her is too! Perhaps it is the somewhat romantic side in me? Dunno, but I liiiike it!
Why she is her best friend? Oh, sure, the years they spend together will be erased due to a bad time in Arkham? The fact they were angry at each other doesn't mean they will stop being friends, all friends fight and argue (says the one who was scared they would never be friends again...).
... I think Jason is a bit jealous of Bee. Because Megan said she was the reason she wanted to get better, even if it was Jason who gave her the chance. And it hurt him somehow.
At least Bee wasn't trying to jump to conclusions as to why Megan left even if she started to get angry (or maybe just too hurt). And what she said... God, why do you girls play with my heart's strings like that? It was so sad!
Don't feel bad, Megs, Batman is an intimidating guy even without the cape and mask. Okay, he had points, but... Oh, c'mon, let's just take her out of that cell, please, thank you?
Well... No offense, but I guess to Batman it would be easy. Look at HIS size and look at Scarecrow's size? I know, size doesn't matter, but in this case, I bet it at least helps And sorry, but Stupid Voice has a point: Not getting self defense or pepper spray in GOTHAM? Yep, stupidity. If I had been born in that city, I would have tried to convince my mom to move since I was old enough to TALK. And if that didn't work, the minute I turned eighteen I was OUT of that city. For crying out loud, I've been second-guessing myself about visiting a friend in Rio de Janeiro because a girl was raped (it wasn't in a safe area, but it doesn't matter. Plus, it was a gang rape. Of Thirty guys). Case in point? SELF DEFENSE is something I would BEG to have. And pepper spray. Hell, in Gotham I would beg for a weapon license or something! With crazy jerks, killer clowns and hell know what else, what more do you expect? Yeah, there is Batman, but you can't tell that the Rogues never killed anyone!
"Only a day"? ONly a day is bad enough, mister! Really, sometimes...
Well, she can't stay there forever, so YOU come up with something better, Bruce. But AHA! I insist that Megan is not "manipulative", but she can be a "manipulator" (there IS a difference), so SWEET! Thank you! I was already thinking we had gone from one circle of Hell into another! Thank you, girls!
Oh, shady people again... I so didn't miss them. Please tell me they will suffer? A lot? Because c'mon, KARMA! Justice! They deserve worse hell than they caused in those girls' lives! Like "Game of Thrones" karma! Saw-like karma! Please, for me? -wolf puppy eyes - Pretty please?
(I'm pathetic).
And at least she can't get contact of them again, oh, thank you... I mean, SOME good things have to start happening now, right? For the love of Pete, let us have some good stuff (more than we had lately, after all the crap they went through).
Was this guy who disappeared someone Batman captured? Oh, please let it be so...
And hah, seeing her cry, even if in anger, made me feel good! Oh, I want to see this girl suffer sooo much...
And YAH! Plan in action. Oh, Jason, I think you fit the helpless lover part quite well... Or maybe you will, just give it some time more, huhuhu! And please, Alfred? That's worse than Batman. And I think Megan is his type, he is just in deeeeep denial yet. (And I actually laughed at Bruce's line of protecting Gotham's girls from Jason!).
And while I was "please-please-let-this-work" (I know it is a plan and all, there is no danger that I can see, but all the time you girls lead me into a sense of security and then pulled the rug under me so I would fall in acid, so don't blame me), I found the interactions of

Oh, man, I'm so so sorry! I disappeared since last year, I know! I'm sorry, I just got busy with moving and problems in college, I didn't even send reviews or or a message. Sorry for this girls!
Well, I hope you okay and... As always, a magnificent chapter. I can't disagree that life sucks. It does, I don't know a person that has a perfect life. Life by itself is a problem sometimes. But we can always meet people who help us. And FINALLY! FINALLY those two are together and back to being friends! I don't know I said so, but seeing them apart was so much of a torture because I came to care about those characters and seeing them fight and get away from each other just broke my heart!
Meeting? Of Gotham's villains? Ehhh... Nope, can I just stay home, watch anime and stuff?
I wouldn't call Stockholm, I guess it is more like "let's be careful when picking our battles, we're in deep shit as it is". What? It is true! Also, I guess the Joker would also like to see them (Harley would), so little chance of the Riddler leaving them alone anyway. And Megs? "I look like a leprechaun" line was hilarious. I can't imagine she is looking her best, but at least she has her humor! Same goes for the Barney comment. At least we can try to laugh to endure such situations!
I never heard of this Egg guy, he wasn't in the animated series, I remember... Wss he in the comics or what?
Then again... Egg puns? REALLY? Wow, I'm shivering And to say he is the smartest guy in Gotham is a way to piss off the Riddler, if you ask me.
Man, those girls have guts. I would be probably whimpering and crying for my mother (in my head) if I was there. Okay, Arkham was one thing, but HERE? It is different. No security. No safety. No nothing.
Wow... At least they let her trade clothes, I didn't expect that! I would almost feel like a human being again after this! At least there has to be ONE good point in this mess.
Please, I hope Megan will soon realize she is not a monster! And Bee will feel better soon too... I can hope, right? RIGHT?
You know... I never dated. I was always the girl who stayed in the shadows or people thought to be a freak and all. But to be honest? I wouldn't EVER be pleased to receive a pick-up line from a PUPPET. I mean, I don't know if I would be offended or just too shocked. Yeah, it is a split personality stuff, but IT IS STILL A PUPPET.
Just WHAT?
When you think your luck with men can't get any worse... Spoke too soon. Hiiii Scarecrow, love, how have you been? And as much as I was shipping him and Bee (please don't kill me), I already past that. I like how realistic this story is, so I'm just hoping they will get whoever messed up (not not use a bad word) their lives and manage to be out of this hell. I don't see being with Scarecrow helping matters at all, so, sadly, the ship has sunk.
And he is doing nothing to help his own case, I might add.
I kinda laughed with them yelling names and Riddler saying he would stab someone with the broken glass! At least we can laugh a little despite the situation (damn, I'm so worried what they will do since Megan stayed with Batman! Why do you both torture me that way?).
This shiv and shank stuff I didn't know (hey, English is not my mother tongue anyway). Nice detail!
And Joker... Respect and love?
...
I knew he was insane, but to be this delusional about himself? Damn.
Oh crap, he turned to Bee and all I could do was get cold here. It's like a roller-coaster your chapters, you girls know that? A roller-coaster of death, broken and people's being mauled all around, kinda like the one in Final Destination 3.
And this is a compliment, it takes MUCH talent to get the readers this involved to this point.
And Harley going all "oh, is there a guy you like" talk isn't any better. I don't know, it is like any attempt to make this a normal party clashes with the reality and just makes things more frightening. Or maybe it is just me.
Hmmm... Well, everyone already thought he may have a thing for Batman, even people who don't like the series/characters. It is quite possible, in the bizarre way. I mean, I'm a villain/protagonist shipper addicted (no, reaaally, Wolf? No one EVER realized this! XD), but even I have to say... That's is kinda weird. I don't mind yaoi, but it's weird. Right?
And Harley deserves better, just saying. Joker is an abusive jerk, I mean, hi?
And he calling for Meg? Yeah, why everytime things get calm, it is for a mere second until we're back in the roller-coaster of death and trouble?
I knew this would happen. I KNEW IT! Can I just bail now? Like... Just make up a lame excuse and run for it?
AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT, CAN'T THIS VOICE IN HER HEAD JUST SHUT THE BLOODY FUCKING HELL UP?
...
Oh man, I don't know how you girls do this, because reading this I get so nervous. I'm a coward, I wasn't cut for this. Then again, they are characters born in Arkhan and after all this hell, their minds are shaper than before.
But then again, what could she say? "Oh, his identity is Bruce Wayne, now get off me, please?".
But now she is dead. There is no way she is not dead after this, the Joker will kill her.
And I never thought I would thank Two Face and Riddler for this, but they ended up helping to distract with their comments. Whew...
...
And things are gone back to hell. Oh, C'MON! Kill Joker for me, will you?
I don't think Megan will be disgusted, more like wanting to kill Scarecrow. I mean, if my best friend had been with the guy, I would be relieved he hadn't raped her. I don't see Jonathan going to this point, but with the Scarecrow, I can't be sure.
And really, why the fact that a girl has two rogues after her is more interesting than the Prince of Crime being all lovey-dovey for Batman?
I mean, what can she say? "Well, let's see... Was it due to external stimuli which the body naturally reacts to and therefore has nothing to do with my personal feelings or was it for personal reasons? When I have the answer I'll go back to ya all"?
And YES! Thank you, Batman! I so hope things will get better now!
Oh, man, I'm so so sorry! I disappeared since last year, I know! I'm sorry, I just got busy with moving and problems in college, I didn't even send reviews or or a message. Sorry for this girls!

And Harley going all "oh, is there a guy you like" talk isn't any better. I don't know, it is like any attempt to make this a normal party clashes with the reality and just makes things more frightening. Or maybe it is just me.
Hmmm... Well, everyone already thought he may have a thing for Batman, even people who don't like the series/characters. It is quite possible, in the bizarre way. I mean, I'm a villain/protagonist shipper addicted (no, reaaally, Wolf? No one EVER realized this! XD), but even I have to say... That's is kinda weird. I don't mind yaoi, but it's weird. Right?
And Harley deserves better, just saying. Joker is an abusive jerk, I mean, hi?
And he calling for Meg? Yeah, why everytime things get calm, it is for a mere second until we're back in the roller-coaster of death and trouble?
I knew this would happen. I KNEW IT! Can I just bail now? Like... Just make up a lame excuse and run for it?
AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT, CAN'T THIS VOICE IN HER HEAD JUST SHUT THE BLOODY FUCKING HELL UP?
...
Oh man, I don't know how you girls do this, because reading this I get so nervous. I'm a coward, I wasn't cut for this. Then again, they are characters born in Arkhan and after all this hell, their minds are shaper than before.
But then again, what could she say? "Oh, his identity is Bruce Wayne, now get off me, please?".
But now she is dead. There is no way she is not dead after this, the Joker will kill her.
And I never thought I would thank Two Face and Riddler for this, but they ended up helping to distract with their comments. Whew...
...
And things are gone back to hell. Oh, C'MON! Kill Joker for me, will you?
I don't think Megan will be disgusted, more like wanting to kill Scarecrow. I mean, if my best friend had been with the guy, I would be relieved he hadn't raped her. I don't see Jonathan going to this point, but with the Scarecrow, I can't be sure.
And really, why the fact that a girl has two rogues after her is more interesting than the Prince of Crime being all lovey-dovey for Batman?
I mean, what can she say? "Well, let's see... Was it due to external stimuli which the body naturally reacts to and therefore has nothing to do with my personal feelings or was it for personal reasons? When I have the answer I'll go back to ya all"?
And YES! Thank you, Batman! I so hope things will get better now!

Hey, I recently found this fic, and, having read all 22 chapters, I thought I would leave a comment of my appreciation. The two main characters are relatable, with flaws and qualities, along with being very interesting (god I sound like Riddler now). Bridge's attempt at being a responsible, level-headed mother figure is inspirational, along with tragic, due to the attractions to both Riddler and Scarecrow/Jonathan, along with the suggested toxic relationship prior to Arkham. Meg's attempts at being a happy, free figure, who never allows others to see her pain is beautifully portrayed, along with how Bridge seems to be imitating this trait, by hiding medication. I feel the two are two seperate extremes, attempting to gain normallacy by acting like each other, Bridge acting unaffected and Meg getting more responsible. I also feel, as you had asked if Lacie was justified, that she wasn't, and will never be, but this makes her more intresting, as though she had lost he sanity, and is now forcing Bridge and Meg to lose theirs. You did a great job building up suspense, and at times, I truly didn't want the characters to get hurt. I hope that this will continue to be updated, and that it gains the recongision it deserves, for being a brilliant story.
