Everything that mattered was--

Oh god, I couldn't ha--

...Is anyone all right?

I didn't mean too-- I mean... being that person...

...

I'm sorry, Comrades. I promise never to try and do anything like that again.

[Prefect is sitting up in bed when Harv arrives, he smiles when he sees his friend coming over.]

Hey. Uh, Congratulations, Comrade.

Thanks.

[Harvey sits down on the edge of Prefect's bed.] You're okay, right?

[Prefect nods]

I'm fine. I'm glad that the flood's over.

[He gives a slight shrug]

Seems like a lot of people thought the other me was very good.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

The other you...he was good in some ways. Your ideas were good. But there was something in there that was kind of scary. Something that I just didn't want to deal with.

[Harvey frowned.]

Of course, that might be because you called me a traitor.

[Honestly, Prefect just looks super relieved to hear this from someone other than himself.]

Thank you! No one else saw it! Everyone else just keeps congratulating me for throwing a good revolution, and telling me how brave I am!

[He lets out a breath.]

I'm so glad that you-- that you see it.

[Harvey's a bit taken aback by Prefect being so relieved. He smiles weakly, looking at him.]

I guess it's because I know you best. That and I wasn't affected. Half the people congratulating you were probably affected themselves.

[Prefect rubs his eyes and smiles.]

Thank you, Comrade. I-- I know it's just a flood, I shouldn't let it get to me, I just don't want to be like that.

[He drops his hands, waving them a little dismissively]

Forget about that though. You said... you got to go home? When you graduated?

Spam

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I did. I went home for a few days. Back home, it's like they're pretending that Two-Face never existed. That I just died. It's...I see why they did it. I'm just not sure if I agree with it or not.

[Harvey shrugged.]

I saw my own funeral. That was bizarre.

Spam - No, not Harper.

[Prefect cocks his head, frowning a little.]

I thought Two-Face just killed off members of the Mafia? Why would they want to write him out of existence?

[Brief, slightly guilty pause.]

I mean, don't get me wrong, I didn't like him very much, but... I didn't think what he did was so bad.

Spam

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

They tried to write Two-Face out because of who I was before. I was Harvey Dent, Gotham's White Knight. And Joker got to me. They couldn't afford to show me as I really was. I guess Gotham's morale just needed to stay up.

[He sighed.]

One thing's for certain-I can't go home.

Spam

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[Prefect tries not to sound pleased. He clears his throat.]

So, Uh, so...[pause] you're just going to stay here?

[Indefinitely? Forever?]

[Harvey nodded.]

Yeah. Besides, I just graduated. I'm not leaving any time soon.
