[ Once again, she feels a prick of guilt when she slips out of the apartment, leaving Nill all alone for the night. It's the last thing she needs, but Kate reminds herself she knew what she was getting into when she first donned this uniform. It has to be done. This is her duty.

With that, she focuses on the tasks ahead of her for tonight. Time to get to work. ]

3/22, central park at night!

[indentcision]

[ Someone's skulking around, his hands clenched at his sides and grumbling to himself. Maybe arguing with himself. ]

You have no business trying to tell me what to do. I'm going through with it no matter what you-- no, you shut up, you're the one deluding yourself with fake cures and the idea of playing house. All because you still want her. You want her back -- we both do, and this isn't the way--

[ Harvey picks up a rock, gripping his fingers, unsure what to do with it. He's oblivious to his surroundings, at that moment. He just thinks it's lucky that he's alone. ]

No, it isn't like that.

Shut up.

[gevurah]

[ Her blood runs cold, chest feeling stuck in an iron vice. Without drawing attention to herself, she quietly saunters into the tall trees and watches.

She hates this waiting period. From the day she saw him at the towers, she started her own private countdown to the day Harvey Dent's reformation crashes and burns.

Because it's going to happen. She only wishes it were sooner. ]

[indentcision]

[ Harvey sits down almost weightlessly on a bench, rubbing his face with his hands and continuing to mutter loudly. ]

I said shut up! You won't hurt h--

[ He goes abruptly silent, just holding his head and sitting there for several minutes. He sits up, looking around the park. Suddenly paranoid. ]

Is anyone there?

[gevurah]

[ She scowls, having wanted to hear the rest of his argument with the other. She stays still in her spot, certain he'll get distracted again with himself. ]

[indentcision]

[ He sits there not saying anything, alert to noises that may have just been in his mind. Or maybe ducks. As he waits he plucks at his hair a little idly. ]

No. Think it was a bird. [ He settles back a little. ] I don't want to talk to you.

[gevurah]

[ What's the other one planning or trying to get Harvey to do? She listens closely to the audio installed into the side of her mask. ]

[indentcision]

[ He goes quiet again, shaking his head sharply. ]

I told you I wouldn't do that. You aren't going to ruin this for -- [ A pause, tilting his head up to listen. He sneers. ] Maybe I can't, but you'll go away on your own. I flipped, I'm doing this! We can make a deal, can't we?

[ He pulls his coin out. ]

[gevurah]

[ Hearing "deal" has her on the edge for more. He's being too vague for her liking, yet she can't go down and start demanding answers out of him. Though, a part of her just knows it's about Renee. Maybe Kate herself... but it's always been about Renee with him. ]

[indentcision]

[ He has more frequent moments of silence, while Two-Face speaks in his head. Every now and then Harvey shakes his head, or says "No," or "Right," or "You can't." ]

Same problem. If you hurt them I'm the one who has to pay for it. I'm still stronger than you. [ Quiet again, tilting his head and flipping his coin. ] A month. All right. A month.

[ He glances around again uneasily. ]

[gevurah]

[ She holds her breath for what feels like forever. Her hand that is supporting her in the tree begins to dig its fingers into the bark, not loudly, but audible enough to give off the vibe someone really is there.

Letting out a long breath, she waits for him to notice the big, black and red shadow sitting up here. ]

[indentcision]

[ He continues to look around. Slowly, he stands. ]

Who's there?

[gevurah]

[ She raps her knuckles against the bark now. ]

Evening.

[indentcision]

[ His good eye narrows. ]

Are you spying on me? I'm not hurting anyone.

[ For emphasis, he sneers. ]

[gevurah]

[ Not yet, she tells herself. ]

I'm simply enjoying the night air.

[indentcision]

It's a big park. Go enjoy it on the east side, Bat.

[gevurah]

Was I was interrupting something between you two?

[indentcision]

I don't know what you mean.

[gevurah]

Don't play dumb. It's not cute.

[indentcision]

There's no one here but the two of us.

[gevurah]

You're really not fooling anyone, Harvey.

[indentcision]

[ He puts his hands on his hips. ]

No, I'm not. Not trying to, either. See this? [ He holds up his coin. ] Good heads. All good heads from now on.

[gevurah]

[ Dryly: ]

You'll have to forgive my skepticism.

[indentcision]

[ He flips his coin, then shows her the side that comes up -- good heads again. ]

I will forgive it. See? [ He smiles. ] You'll all see. I don't care what you think.

[gevurah]

It won't last.

[indentcision]

Yes it will. This time it will.
