The old mirrors in the abandoned apartment were smashed. He'd done it with his own bare knuckles, trying to destroy that ghoulish, grinning creature that had been sneering at him from the glass. A creature that was at once alien and familiar.

Now he lay on his back on the moth-eaten old couch, staring at the toxic blood that flowed down his chalk white hands. He felt no pain, only vague interest and a troublesome sense of detachment, as if the hands were not his own. Between his ears, two lifetimes worth of memories crashed together, now running parallel, now intertwining. He could not tell where one ended and the other began.

The old comedian folded his hands over his eyes and screamed into the dusty rafters.

This is it, old man, you're really coming apart now. You're losing your mind an inch at a time.

He wasn't actually going to toss her out that window, was he? Re-l's eyes widened as he dragged her nearly to the precipice, and then she made one last ditch effort to slide out from his grip.

It didn't help. Instead, it put her right at the proper angle for him to nearly through her through the glass. She shouted in alarm, hands going out to grab at the side of the window opening. It did little to actually shield her from the glass and she only succeeded in cutting her hands, but she did manage to grab hold of the ledge before she completely fell.

She cursed loudly at the glass in her palm. "Goddamn you, Joker!" she shouted, trying to pull herself back up.

The first time he struck down on her fingers, she pushed out her claws in retaliation, to try and get a better grip. The second time, she was sure she felt something break in her hand. And the third time, with the glass digging into her skin and the numbness in her fingertips, she couldn't stop herself from losing her grip. Her claws raked down the side of the building and she cried out once more, pain shooting up her hands and into her arms.

Instincts took over. She twisted in the air, not unlike a cat, in an effort to land on something better than her back or her head. She succeeded, landing on her feet--

And immediately lost her footing, falling backwards, her back and head striking the pavement. It could have been worse, of course, but it was enough to stun her and send the world on its axis, spots flying in front of her eyes. Pain shot up her body. Shit--!
