Kicking the door open with a dramatic flare, Jade stood in the doorway, ready for whatever would come her way. She narrowed her gaze, searching, scanning for the Joker as she was going to finish this now.
"If you're ready, come and get it" said Jade as she was ready to kick Joker's ass up and down the mental world.

You step through the door into ... nothingness. The floor, the door behind you, everything is simply gone. The blackness surrounding you is punctuated only by the sound of a heartbeat, echoing in your ears, coming from everywhere and nowhere.
As your perception adjusts you notice a faint glow from beneath you.
Far below is a scene that must mean something, a triangle of golden lines is set out inside a golden circle in a way that somehow suggests magic to you. At each corner of the triangle is a person lying flat. You see Mr Hernandez, at one, yourself at the second and The Joker at the third. Wrapped around you are dark tendrils spreading out from Mr Hernandez only the tendrils are withering before your eyes. An energy seems to be spreading out from The Joker that is killing them, you can tell very soon the tendrils won’t be intact enough to hold you, but more than that whatever is killing the tendrils is killing whatever is inside Mr Hernandez.
Then reality seems to snap back into focus and you are lying on an operating table, it was the operating table, the table you were on just after you were shot protecting Lex Luthor. You can feel the pains all over of the bullet wounds, numbed by the morphine but you know they are there. You were barely aware of it at the time but clearly the memory is still there. You couldn’t move your body, you were dying.
You look up at the surgeons face and grinning down at you is the Joker.
The music for a Michael Buble starts up as Joker picks up a scalpel and starts to sing
“It’s beginning to look a lot like Madness
Everywhere you go
With psychosis and Ocd, haemophilic pathology
And schitzophrenia in every row.”
You look around and in the observation area you can see what look like asylum inmates in straight jackets singing along.
“It’s beginning to look a lot like madness
With crimes in every store
But the prettiest sight you’ll is the cyber lobotomy
At your own front door.”
You hear the bone saw start up.

Jade looked into the nothingness, she was confused to what was going on but then again this was the mind of the Joker and anything was possible, anything.. Everything changed.. She saw the bodies and the tendrils which ensnared not only herself but Mr Hernandez and the Joker. Jade wasn't quite sure what was going on but from the energy around them it had to be something magical, Cerberus's doing she guessed; blinking she found herself on a table. Deja vu hit her like a bus as she knew she had been here before and suddenly the pain of bullet wounds surged through her body and like that she knew where she was, she was back on the operating table.. She notices that someone is in the room with her, the surgeon, but it wasnt the same doctor from before... it was the Joker?! Whatever was going on was entwining their minds in the worst way. Panic fell upon Jade as she was in a position that she couldn't do anything in as the Joker had the power in this place, wherever this was, but she was not going to give up in finding someway to get out of this. Ignoring the Joker for most of the time until the bone saw began to buzz, Jade looked at her restraints and tried to pull herself out of it, at least give herself a free hand to fight back.

You fight, but nothing works. You remember now, the paralysis from the bullets, you couldn’t move.
“Oops.” Says Joker grinning wildly. “Can’t do this without something for the pain. How about some laughing gas?”
He reaches over and grabs a gas bottle and a mask, and it is there you realise it. In this place song makes you powerful, puts you in control. And he just spoke!

Jade fought hard against the restraints to get free but to no avail. She began to panic. She didn't know what to do until it hit her like a ton of bricks.. the answer was in front of her but she wasn't using it . In this world it was different that the physical, she had to play by the rules of this world and to get power you had to sing. Taking a deep breath, Jade closed her eyes and then chose the song that would save her life. "I was born in a thunderstorm, grew up overnight, played along, I'm playing on my own.... I survived." sang Jade as she felt the surge begin to flow within her. "Hey." Jade felt the restraints loosen as she continued on her song. "I wanted everything, I never had like the love that comes with life, I wore ambien and hated it.. But I survived.." The young woman pulled away from the table and got up, invigorated with ferocity and a new burning fight within her. "I had wanted to go to a place where all the demons go, where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow. No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry into your pillow, but I'll survive..." Jade continued as she stopped and looked at Joker, watching his facial expression change as Jade's new found power grew. Her voice grew and her conviction intensified, "I'm still breathing.." she said. "I'm still breathing.." "I'm still breathing..." "I'm still breathing..." she said in continuation before taking a deep breath and singing to the top of her lungs. "I'm alive!" Her voice echoed through the room, possibly with enough power to echo through the astral portion of this place as well.. She was putting everything she had into this song, everything she had into getting out of this place and back to her body.
"I'm Alive!" she continued to sing towards Joker, "I'm Alive!", "I'm Alive!". She began to slowly walk towards the Joker as the tempo of the music playing began to increase behind her with the beat of her heart. "I found solace in the strangest place, way in the back of my mind. I saw my life in a stranger's face and it was mine. I had wanted to go to a place where all the demon go. Where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground ever grows. No Hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow, but I'll survive ". Jade continued as she gained more confidence in her performance and in herself. "I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing. I'm Alive! I'm Alive! I'm Alive! I'm Alive!"
"You took it out, I'm still breathing. You took it out, I'm still breathing, You took it out and I'm still still breathing." she continued. Jade lowered her head as she took a breath in between the lines. Calling forth her memories of her past and calling on her emotions she sighed, "I had made every single mistake that you could ever possibly make I took and I took and I took what you gave but you never noticed that I was in pain. I knew what I wanted; I went in and got it did all the things that you said that I wouldn't. I told you that I would never be forgotten I know that's part of you!" Jade's voice grew and continued with strength as she put everything she had into this last part of her ballad of freedom.
"And I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing..."
"I'm Alive! (You took it all but I'm still breathing), I'm Alive! (You took it all but I'm still breathing), I'm Alive! (You took it all but I'm still breathing" she continued to sing. Looking up towards the ceiling, Jade took a deep breath and continued, "I'M ALIVE" she sang out into the universe to get out of this mental prison. "I'm Alive! I'm Alive! I'm Alive!" Jade's voice continued to sing with such power and force with her intent to be freed from this prison and to let her friends on the outside know that she wasn't giving up on leaving yet. Jade had condenced everything she had, every emotion, every ounce of anger, desire, passion, everything into her words, to give her song power to break herself out of this hell.

You sing and as you do music appears from nowhere around you, surrounding you, filling you, empowering you. The restraints crumble to nothing as your body changes, and you sit up. Your form changes to how you are today yet the song comes from somewhere deeper, from your heart, your mind... your soul.
Joker reaches for the gas, but the words of the song reach it first. He isn’t in control any more, you are. The mask crumbles, the bottle crumbles, you stand and the bed crumbles. You stand before him and the contents of the room crumble. He looks around for a way of escape.
“Hey now, lets be reasonable here...” Is all he manages to say before he too crumbles to nothing.
You are left alone but still it’s not enough, this is a prison. One of the mind are you are in no mood to be imprisoned.
You reach the final verse. The first ‘I’m alive’ cracks the walls, the second shatters the glass viewing area, the third and reality crumbles leaving you in darkness.
The scene before you is as before the triangle of power, only now the creature with tentacles is withered and dead. You are in control.
You snap your fingers, and open your eyes.
(Ooc. Welcome back. Take 5 loe. I’ll be putting you back in ‘Welcome to the neighbourhood’ asap.)
