[David Lance POV]

What was I doing?

I can't quite remember

My mind feels off.

Disconnected maybe.

I feel like I know why I'm feeling like this, but every time I try to remember, I can't, and I just want to laugh, even though it's not funny.

I don't want to laugh.

I have no idea why

I don't walk to talk.

I have no idea why

"HaHaHa!"

A laugh

Who was laughing?

Was it me?

No

It was them

The monsters

Maybe that's my reason for all of this.

Dealing with the monsters, I think remember that I was dealing with a villain and he made some monsters appear, now it was my job to deal with them.

I also had someone to protect from these monsters.

But who?

He heheHe, that's funny Why is it funny? Does it even matter?

Focus I need to keep my focus.

This isn't me

Or maybe it is

It doesn't matter All I know is I have to make the monsters go away, that much is certain.

Hahaha HaHaHaHaHaHaHa!

[Harley Quinn POV]

I rushed to my pudding's side, tending to him as his wounds healed. The low-class brute of Black Bolt had hurt my pudding, breaking his arms and legs.

Well, no more!

That bully would have to deal with me now!

"Don't worry pudding, I'll protect you!" I swore, giving Mister J a kiss on his lovingly burnt face.

"Now, that's funny! HaHaHaHaHaHa!" Mister J laughed, as I turned around to grab my hammer, only to find Black Bolt, in front of me, hand outstretched grabbing my face, before slamming me into the ground, his eyes sparkling with charm just like my pudding.

Then, without giving me a chance to even move, he started punching me on the ground, each strike breaking something, each strike drawing blood, all while Mister J laughed in the ever-fading background.

I was going to die, wasn't I?

Heroes didn't kill

But he wasn't a hero anymore, wasn't he?

What a way to go!

At the hands of a future hunk, as my pudding watched.

His eyes were just like those of my pudding. Too bad his smile was covered behind his mask.

He probably has a really charming smile, just like Mister J.

I would've liked to see his smile.

How dreamy the way he looks at me, like I'm all there is how dreamy.

[Scarecrow POV]

My body froze.

The carnage this kid was delivering on Harley, was shocking

He was deliberately pulling back his punches, just so that he could keep punching her, over and over again, with a delirious gleam of joy flashing across his eyes.

"Wouldn't it be easier to just push all these things out?"

It truly would.

"You can lock all these dreadful feelings away forever. All you need to do it's walk through that door, let the madness take in be free of this pain"

Door?

Right, there's a door.

I shouldn't go there.

I don't know why, but I feel like I shouldn't go there.

"Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened. You can lock them away... forever!"

I

No.

I can't do that to to who?

"You can even remember who. So why fight for those you can't even remember?"

I refuse.

This is wrong.

All of this is wrong.

I need to get out, I need to break out of here before I forget more.

"Stop fighting, stop hurting yourself. Accept this and be free!"

This chaos isn't natural.

This feeling is new.

I remember that.

I remember being sane.

"Now that's a joke. Your stubborn, bone-deep conviction that somehow, somewhere, all of this makes sense! That REALLY cracks me UP!"

"Leave me alone!" I roared, trying to find a way out.

"That's beyond your control. Kid"

"But not beyond mine," I heard a new voice say, somehow silencing the other voice.

"I don't want to go through that door," I said, pointing at the where was the door?

"You don't have to," The voice replied, soothingly. Taking the pain away.

I liked this feeling.

I liked this voice.

I remember this voice but from where?

I feel like the answer is in front of me.

"I know you," I muttered.

"You do," The voice replied in confirmation.

"I can't remember your name" I muttered, trying to find the answer.

"It's okay, your mind it's healing itself" The voice replied calmly. "You will remember me soon."

"How soon?" I asked, hoping J'onn' answer to be, something along the lines of, in a few seconds.

Wait that's his name, J'onn!

But that's missing something

I remember, J'onn J'onzz!

"Very soon," J'onn chuckled.

"I remember your name!" I smiled, happy to have had remembered something, instead of forgetting it. "J'onn J'onzz."

"I know," J'onn replied. "I'm glad."

I smiled, cutting my smile short, as I remembered I wasn't supposed to talk.

"It's okay this is your mind. You can talk, freely remember?" J'onn said.

Right my mind.

The no-talk rule didn't apply here.

Why did I have that rule in the first place?

I guess it doesn't matter

"Yeah that's right!" I chuckled.

"Now, I must go but I will be back in a moment, don't worry." J'onn replied.

"Will... will the chaos come back? Will the pain come back with it?" I asked, afraid the answer to be yes.

"No I promise you."

Good, I didn't want to go back to that place.

I don't want to forget anymore.
