There was a now young lady moving in to the town of Gotham, her name was Pamela Isley, she was moving in with the Quinzel's who were one of the richer families of the town. Pamela was reasonable new to living in the Caribbean so she didn't know much about the pirates that often sailed the waters around Gotham or the mysterious hero named Batman who kept them safe from the pirates.

"So tell me about what goes on around here" Pamela said sitting on a bed next to Harley's.

"What about Gotham?"

"Gotham…or…this area in general"

"Well for one the amount of pirates being hanged every day is horrific, not that on I'm complaining, I think that every one of those criminal scum deserve to be hanged. People bet on whether the pirates neck will snap of they'll be left hanging to chock to death, I don't mind either is entertaining for me"

"How can you find that entertaining?" Pamela asked disgusted.

"You'll get used to it, anyway, the person you need to know about is the Batman. He protects the city from the pirate scum that wish to do evil on this town. He is noble, handsome, kind, and smart and…"

"Sounds lie someone has a crush"

Harley smirked and continued with her story "Well then there's the pirates, there's all sorts of pirates that come and go from Gotham, there's two face who had half of his face burnt off in an attack of an election he was taking part in. Father says he lost his mind and turned to piracy, now two face makes any decision at the flip of a coin. There's the Riddler, a pathetic excuse for a pirate, I don't think you can even classify him as one"

"Why?"

"For one he doesn't have the strength to kill anyone himself, he lets other people do it for him. Two he was dumb enough to get caught and is standing trial for piracy. There's massive amount of pirates that roam these waters but only a few can be spoken highly of"

"And they are?"

"That's where Jack Napier also known as the Joker comes in, he's the worst, most bloodthirsty of all the pirates and Batman's biggest nemesis. He's escaped the hangman's rope too many times, he's a nuisance. He sleeps with countless women and has killed even more people but he's so strong, handsome, smart and I admire his freedom…" Harley snapped out of her thoughts "But he's still a pirate and he should be hanged like the horrible person he is"

Meanwhile on the other side of Gotham the Joker was lying in bed as his eyes slowly fluttered open and inspected his surroundings, once again he had awoken in a strange bedroom. His head turned to the side to see a beautiful brown hair girl clinging to his arm, he sighed and lifted up the sheet to look down and realised that he was completely naked and so was she. He chuckled as he sat up waking the girl next to him, she sat up and her arms snaked around his chest from behind "Hey big guy, you sleep well?" she said in a seductive tone nuzzling against his back.

"I dunno you tell me sweet heart" he chuckled as he stood up and put on his pants that had been carelessly strewn across the floor. He was about to button his shirt when he heard a muffled voice from downstairs coming closer to the room "Abagail it's time to get up" Joker reacted quickly, gathering all of his things and began to climb out the window and down the side of the building.

The girl rushed to the window as Joker reached the ground and started to run down the street "You'll be back right?" the girl asked and Joker turned around.

"Nope, sorry darling that's not how I do things" He said grinning as the girl's father came to the window and looked furious as he spotted Joker.

"You'll pay for this you…you…pirate!" the man said shaking his fist at Joker.

Joker turned around and proceeded to run down the street carrying his things "I love this job, I love it, I do" he muttered to himself as he reached the dock where his ship was being held, a man was standing beside the gang plank to his ship.

"Mornin' capn'" he greeted.

"Morning Roc ol' boy" Joker replied smiling, the man was Jokers first mate, one of his most trusted men and was in charge of the ship while Joker went off to take care of 'business'. Joker climbed onto his ship where all of his men were all hard at work "Johnny!" Joker yelled and one of the men immediately stopped what they were doing and stood at attention in front of Joker.

"Yes capn' sir?!" the man said firmly putting his hand to his forehead in a salute.

Joker looked at the rookie sceptically "You can put your hand down, son. We're not in the cavalry here"

"Yes sir, sorry sir" the man said putting his hand at his side again.

"Prepare the ship to dock at the north of Gotham, we need to arrive before dawn tomorrow" Joker said and the man stared at him "So get off your ass and do it!" Joker yelled and the man ran to the ropes on the side of the ship and began to lower the sails.

"Capn'? Are you sure it's a good idea to dock at that area again? You remember what happened last time" Rocco asked following Joker into the captain's cabin.

"Yes I believe they tried to hang me, I don't know why they hold such a grudge. They just can't take a joke." Joker said as he grabbed a bottle of rum from a cupboard.

"I really don't think this is a good idea" Rocco said as Joker drank from the bottle in his hand.

"Course it is!" He said throwing his hands up "After all I thought of it" he said smiling at Rocco and walking out of the cabin.

"Whatever you say capin'" he muttered following him out of the cabin.
