1x1 Gotham's Shadow

World to Explore: The Batman (2022)

The blonde had been balancing her life. The job forced into her hand , stopping her its tracks. She’d been so close to achieving her dreams , her doctorate just a semester away , and now , the college was flooded. It was all gone , her research lost , her credits disappearing before her. All the knowledge , all the work she had put in had been for nothing. Every TV screen only seemed to rub salt in the wound , constantly showing and praising the male she blamed for it all. Harleen hadn’t thought about heading down this path before , but the world had left her with very few options.

Now a community helper throughout the disaster , Harleen considered herself a psychiatrist without the pay , nor the credit. Everyone unleashed their problems on her , but no one wanted to listen to what she’d been through , what she’d lost , which was far greater than most in her opinion. She’d lost not only her home , but her future , she’d been left thousands of dollars in debt trying to push through her college course and it all came crashing down. The flood wouldn’t have happened if it hadn’t been for Batman , and so the city’s hero became her enemy.

There was only so much she could take before she snapped. In the name of vigilante justice he’d ruined half the city and its population. In the name of justice she’d tried to help rebuild but there was too much loss , too much piled up on top of her. Psychiatrists were typically given psychiatrists themselves to check-in. Harleen had to resort to other methods. The blonde often found herself in one of the slum bars , her tear-stained cheeks ruining her mascara. The bartender had always taken pity on her , he was nice , and made sure she was fed whilst having enough to drown her sorrows. He'd also helped her requests when she’d asked where she could get her hands on a baseball bat. He seemed confused but answered her prayers and the female became armed and dangerous.

The blonde had smeared her lipstick across a stolen black leather jacket. One of her clients had left it and Harleen wasn’t going to give them a chance to get it back. Drawing a few diamonds on the back she’d slipped in on before tying her hair up out of the way. Her professional bun didn’t match but a couple of hair bands and pigtails seemed to frame her face. Now she had to go and find her target. Just a few steps outside however , and it seemed the Bat had started a patrol. What did he want with this side of the city ??

❝ Y’here to assert ya dominance over t’rest of this sh*t show ?? Come to gloat about how you’re better than everyone ?? ❞
