When she became Mayhem "May" Chase "Ace" Delirium, when she began killing and corrupting, just causing chaos in general, it wasn't because she had a reason like most other villains had. No, she simply had a random thought to do so while she was drinking.

May, as people who are close to her called her (Well, those who think they're close. One tried it out, and when she didn't do anything, it stuck. But honestly, she just didn't give a shit.), didn't really care about power or money. World domination would have been boring, as there wouldn't be any resistance once she achieved it, and she didn't have a personal — or impersonal, whatever — vendetta.

Besides, Ace, what the general public knew her as because one dude somehow, by some fucking miracle, she had said, because I could have sworn I shot him in the balls, got away and heard "Ace" instead of "Chase".

Ah, well, it made for a good joke, considering her similarities with him.

Honestly, Ace and Joker. How fucking cliché is that?

Though, she supposes, the only reason she did it, the only reason she let herself fall through that hole, was because she knew — no — Alice knew, that no matter how much and how hard she fell, her mummy and daddy will sa- stop her. 'Cause it was too late to save her. She was gone.

Well, not completely, considering she was having this train of though now. It may be because she was losing that red liquid sometimes called "life".

Perhaps it was because of that, that his "life" was also draining away from her. Losing his hold on her, and in turn, letting Alice to come back.

But that didn't matter too much, despite him finally — fucking finally! — leaving this world with nothing of him lingering, because her mummy and daddy, her mummy and daddy, where able to stop her, where able to finally stop her.

And now, now she can finally reunite with them, even if it's at her deathbed, and tell them — in her mind because she doesn't want to cause them pain in knowing it was her, their little girl, they just killed, even if accidentally, 'cause her mummy and daddy doesn't kill — she doesn't, and never will, regret her decision to drink his, of all people's, blood, to save them.

And she hopes, she hopes so badly, that they will be okay, that she can continue to protect them both in the afterlife.

Protect both Bruce Wayne and–

Mummy, daddy! One day, I'll be the one to protect you guys!

A/N: I re-read it about a month after I posted it (I'm doing this now because I didn't know how to edit this on FF, and decided to just leave it at the time), and realized how... it kind of spazzes out when I was making the transition between May and Alice. But then, Alice was a little girl when she was "lost"/"dead"/"sealed"/whatever, so I think it would have been an extremely disjointed point of view as she came back to herself after years of not being able to, while dying, might I add. So I decided to leave it. I apologize if readers don't agree with me and think it made absolutely no sense, but I personally think it works fine. And I was the one who wanted to have some fun with it/wrote it, so, yeah. It stays.
