"Now," Batman began icily. He wasn't speaking loudly, but like his older counterpart, his voice carried effortlessly. "Let's talk."

"I imagine you're talking to me," Savage said to the Bat.

Batman ignored Savage, and his eyes remained fixed on Dent. "You weren't in Arkham when we entered. How did you get inside?" If there was some kind of secret way in and out... well, one, that would explain an awful lot, and two, he'd have to block it up.

"Ah, you're not talking to me. Fine by me." Savage laid down on his cell's bed and closed his eyes, trying to pass time until Batman's departure.
Two-Face, on the other hand, apparently had answers that the Bat wanted, at least in the Bat's mind. He flipped the coin, and caught it, then opened his hand where both Bats and himself could see. Clean. "I didn't come here, not on my own accord. I was far away from this moronic excuse for an asylum one minute, then the next, I was in the corner of the room that I walked out of a moment ago." Not once did Harvey look at him as he spoke.

Batman would have sighed if he hadn't been in costume. God... EFFFING MAGIC. And were all the magic users caught in this mess batshit crazy? It certainly seemed that way. After a few seconds of intense thought, the Bat shut the door, locked it, slipped back into the shadows and vanished.
He was not, however, actually gone. Oh, no. He wasn't an idiot. At least one member of his boss' old rouge's gallery was going to break out eventually, and he wanted to know about it when they did. Surveillance equipment; a Bat's best friend. And... Didn't Wayne have some kind of base under the Asylum? It would be a good thing to check out, anyway.

PING! The coin flipped into the air again, and was caught again. Clean. He spoke out loud, prtly to himself, but also to Batman, if he was still in the room. "Bats, it takes an idiot to think you've actually left. Even if you're not in the room anymore. You're getting predictable. Again. We both know what happened last time a Bat got predictable. I would know. Harvey Dent was the only reason it didn't work last time." Two-Face was, of course referring to the first time Dr. Thomas Elliot, a.k.a. Hush, tried to kill the Batman.

... What was he talking about? Something from Wayne's past, obviously. As such, it was his business. Terry didn't have any right to butt in. ... And we all know what curiosity did to the cat... ... Dammit! He really, really wanted to know, now! Still, he stayed silent and continued setting up monitoring equipment. It was lucky that his plan didn't depend on the villains assuming that he was gone; they really knew how Batman operated, at least in a general sense. Most of HIS rouges gallery did not. It suddenly occurred to Terry that the people around him could be very, VERY dangerous, if only for that one reason.

Another coin flip. Scarred. "Sad thing for you is, Harvey Dent isn't here now. You're going to die this time."
Killer Croc could be heard, his bestial voice carrying effortlessly; he could obviously hear the one-sided conversation. "He's right, Batman. Time's running out for you. Tick-tock, Batman... Tick. Tock.
A new voice could be heard, one that hadn't spoken before. "The underworld will swallow you whole this time, Batman. Crime will reign supreme, and I will be at the top of the elite, just like I was during the time of No Man's Land, umbrella in hand, hat on my head, and your body food for my birds."
Freeze spoke again. "I will make your heart my personal memorial to my revenge for my Nora. Revenge is a dish best served frozen."
Zsasz spoke up. "I have a very special place for your mark, Bat-freak. Would you like to see it? Do you want to see where I will forever carry what will remain of your legacy in my eyes?"

Ho, hum. Boring again. This he WAS used to. 'Burn, Batman!' 'Open wide...' 'Beg me for mercy, Batman; let's see if I hear you!' 'I am the hunter, and you are my prey.' Blah, blah, blah snore. Terry finished with his equipment and soundlessly slipped out.
{Exit to Gotham}

"Hello?" Mary called out timidly. She'd heard people in the hallway. They were talking, but she couldn't see anyone.

{Enter Flash from New York City}
No sooner had Batman vacated the premises than Flash zipped onto it, obnoxiously cheerful as always. "Hey, Croc! Waaazzzuuuup? Clayface, have you gotten work done? Looks great! And you got out of your cell! Nice!" Suddenly, he blinked and zipped back over to stare at Mary. "Hang on.... I don't know you... And how did you get out of your cell?"

"Get out? I...I don't even know how I got in here." Mary replied, a bit startled at the man's sudden appearance. "I can't remember anything over the past few days."

Flash blinked, then whistled. "Amnesia, huh?" He paused, thinking about it. "Actually... that kind of happens all the time around here. Friendly word of advice, cutie," he added, "You do NOT want to be hanging out in here. Really."

"I...I don't even know where..." Mary started, still fairly confused. Oh Matt...
"Am, am I still in New York?"

Flash cocked an eyebrow. "No...? You're in Gotham city. Arkham Asylum, more specifically. As in 'where they keep the crazies.'"
