Isabelle was watching her daughter, Elizabeth play in the playground she knew the neighborhood that she lived in wasn't one of the best but she was okay with that. She knew that it would get dark soon and that's when all the criminals would come out she knew better than to stay out with her daughter late.

"Come on Elizabeth its time to go" she told her daughter.

"But mama.." Elizabeth whined

"Come on its getting late, what has your dad told you about being late at night" she asked

She groaned and then spoke,

"That its dangerous" she mumbled and started walking to the apartment with her mom.

"Momma is dad ever gonna be home to tuck me into bed" she said as she went into her bed. Isabelle looked at her daughter with guilt in her eyes

"If he could be here he would he just -" she started but was disrupted by her daughter

"Working" she finished. Belle look at her daughter and frowned

"At least I got you mommy" she said holding onto her necklace,the one her mom gave her with a picture of them two smiling.

" Me too night munchkin I love u I'm gonna go check on aunt Marie and aunt Jasmine is here,I'll be back" she said then left

"I'll be back if I'm not back by 10 lock the door don't answer to no one angel has the key so be careful" she said

" I know mom" Jasmine said as Isabelle left and gave her the finger then leaving to her friends apartment.

"Knock knock" she said as her friend opened the door.

"Hey Marie how's the baby" she said as Marie rubbed her belly happily.

"Im good how are you" Marie said sitting dad wn while life king at her friend.

"I'm OK Elizabeth is too She misses Angel though" she said

"What about you"

"I don't miss him like I use to miss him.I miss my daughter's father so I'll always love him but I already told him I can't be with someone who isn't here for his daughter and continues to try to put me in the middle between him and I want to be wanted, I want to feel again I thought angel could make feel but he can't how can he he's more focused on the Angels and criminals then me I want to be someone's not just "The mother" of the Angels.I love them and I Love how they are slowly helping clean up the streets" she said as tears fell from her eyes.

"I understand Steve is the same just-"

"He comes home to be with you and this baby" she said making Marie sigh.

" I'm sorry. I'm happy for you I really am I gotta go bye Marie be careful" she said leaving

"You be careful too" she said closing the door then locking it.

Isabelle realized she stayed later than she thought all because she was talking about Angel the man she once loved. She looked up at the sky and saw the batman sign in the sky and sigh "Angels probably with batman right now" she thought to herself. Isabelle had recently moved to Gotham because of many one would would think of moving to Gotham because of the crime rates.

She almost made it home when she heard some men who were throwing and hitting things around them she rolled her eyes and kept on walking one of them called her,

"Hey pretty lady what you doing walking around alone" he said walking towards her

"Bite me" she said walking but got pulled back from her arm she turned around and glared at him.

"Keep your damn hands off me" she said and shoved her arm back and started walking

"I didn't say you could leave" he said making her sigh and then he grabbed her by her arm and made her head bud him and him grab his head

"Ouch you little bitch" he said and took a swing at her she ducked in reflex and struck him in the jaw then in the temple and then in the nose making him bleed then kneed him in the groin making the other man run towards them which made her run off but one man tackled her down and grabbed her by her hair making he wince and yell out in pain but she still try to hit him, they pushed her on her knees and put her hands behind her as the man she hit, hit her in the jaw over and over again making her nose start to bleed and he gave her a black eye.

"That's what you get whore" he said grabbing her hair making her face him

"You hit like a little bitch" she said then spat blood at him.

"Well well what do we have here" A voice said making all of the men freeze and release her go making her fall. she looked up and saw the one and only Joker. She looked at him intensely studying his features he had greenish greasy hair that looked like it was dyed, had white paint over his face and black paint where his eyes are making his green eye become darker and the scars that he's known for she looked at them and studied them he has red paint covering His lips and the scars making a big smile. The scars were what really caught her attention she wanted to touch them but she knew that was a bad idea.

She then looked at what he was wearing a in a purple suit, a blue hexagon patterned dress shirt, and a green vest, he had a tie on which was a collaboration of different colors of green and orange, he had a pair of purple gloves. He eyed her and they made eye contact for a moment until he turned his gaze away from her and went back to paying attention to his man.

"Anyone want to tell me what was going on" he said walking in a circle around them as they all stayed silent. Isabelle got up and wiped her nose

"One of your man didn't know how to keep his hands to himself do when he got his ass beat your other man came to rescue him but he needs some work, he hits like a bitch" she said walking towards him and kicked him in the face making him fall over in pain.

"I'm going to remember you" she whispered to him as he was holding his nose.

They all looked at her including the Joker he looked her with eyes full of interest and amusement, he started laughing and looked at the man in pain.

" I knew one day you'd mess with The wrong uh lady" he said licking his lips then looked at her making her look away.

"I'd love to stay boys but I have to go"she said about to walk off.

"The party's just begun,doll" he said taking a gun out stopping her

"I really am not the party type but thanks anyways" she said walking away.

"You wouldn't want anything to happen to your dear daughter now would you" he said making her turn

"Don't you dare touch her" she hissed

"Then come on sweetheart" he said lifting his arm as escorting her she looked at her apartment which was a few feet away.

"I'll go with you and do whatever you want..?just don't hurt my daughter" she said looking at him.

"Deal and I'm a man of my word" he said as she linked her arms with his then looked back to the apartment one last time then kept on looking straight and walked with him.
