A CLOWN, A BAT, AND A WOLVERINE? OH DEAR LORD...

DISCLAIMER: I don't own The Dark Knight, nor do I own X-Men... [I'm not that lucky... Stan Lee is for sure, as well as Christopher Nolan.] I only own my original characters and this plot. I do NOT earn a profit from this.

Hi, this is my first post here... yeah I know! I'm pretty happy about finally getting down to writing again! Uhm... Well I would appreciate reviews! It would really help me since this is my first crossover and I'm pretty nervous just by the fact this is my first post and I haven't written fan fictions in over 2 years! So PLEASE! For the love of future fan fictions, wolverine, batman, and joker, REVIEW! ~ loves, Mr. C [my initials are M.R.C. so I decided that Mr. C is a bit funny he he... well to the story!]

CHAPTER 1~ Brand New Start

Do you ever wake up feeling like something important happened in your dream, but you can never quite put your finger on it? I have.
My name is Nicole; Nikki, if you will. I'm 26; fresh out of college, majored in Forensic Studies, and got a PhD and a bachelor's degree in Criminology. I went to college in Berkley.
I just moved into my new apartment in Gotham. Now I'm getting a job at Wayne Enterprises. I'm starting at the bottom of the food chain... I'm in the Security Camera branch of security in the main building... Yeah, I know... It sucks... but hey! One day I'll work my way up to GCPD! I want to be the greatest forensic investigator this city has ever known! Yeah! But to do that, I have to start... HERE! Basically I'm the person who sits at a desk, in a black room, watching every security monitor in the building.

Okay but wait... I'm wandering off topic! Back to the dream thing! Okay so, I've been having the same dream for a few weeks now, but I always forget it! All I remember is me, in some dark chamber or something of the like, really bright light, and I can't remember after that! But the weird thing is... I don't wake up! So I KNOW that something went on! But I can never remember! All I know is that it involves pain, because when I wake up my whole body hurts! It's the weirdest thing, but I guess there's no point in looking for invisible answers...

The Professor sat behind his desk, lost in thought. Then there was a knock at the door. A rough voice from the other side asked to come in. The professor told them to enter, and in walked a handsome, gruff-looking man. His hair in a strange wolf-like style, strange but he worked it; side burns, leading to a short trimmed beard. With Dog-tags hanging around his neck, falling loosely over a white wife-beater that clung to his sculpted chest, followed by faded jeans falling loosely over long legs, leading to slightly worn combat boots.

"Hello Logan, have a seat," spoke the Professor while motioning to the seat in front of his desk. The man, apparently named Logan, sat and nodded to the professor as he did so.
"Watcha need Chuck?"
"Cerebro has found a mutant in Gotham City. Apparently she is a class 4, highly powerful, yet unaware of her power. You must go and get her, speak to her, and bring her here." Logan tensed, and nodded briskly before going down to the garage and mounting a nice Ducatti motorcycle before riding off.

Meanwhile, Nikki was at home, getting ready for her first day on the job, quickly putting on the simple black uniform with a silver emblem on the breast pocket. Sighing, she checked herself in the mirror for the billionth time that morning and with a small grin headed out the door and out into the breezy streets of Gotham.

After arriving at Wayne Tower, she was greeted nicely by a nothing less than skimpy secretary, who led her to the employee elevator and handed her a note from her new boss. Now here she was... waiting in the elevator... with a million and one feelings coursing through her. First, she was excited to have gotten the job. Second, she was nervous about meeting her boss. Third and last, she was irritated by the stupid elevator music and the elevator itself for going so damn slow!

GAH! THIS ELEVATOR MUST BE THE SLOWEST ONE THING ON EARTH! I HAVE SEEN TURTLES GO FASTER THAN THIS!

Finally after what felt like ages, the elevator reached level 9 and opened its doors. Relieved that she had finally reached her destination, she rushed out of the elevator, which turned out to have been a mistake because she smashed right into what felt like a brick wall. She took a step back and looked up to see that she had instead bumped into a quite handsome young man with slicked back brown hair, dark brown eyes, and a perfect white smile. Stuttering an apology, Nicolle, extended a hand to him and introduced herself.

"Hi, I'm Nicole Marie Jones, pleasure to meet you. N-n-not under the circumstances of course... Hi"
"Hello, the pleasure is all mines Nicole. I'm Bruce Wayne, and terrible sorry to have bumped into you," he chuckled shaking her hand gently.
"Oh, my Lord! YOU'RE ! OH! I am so terrible sorry, Sir! If I would have known! Oh Lord, forgive me! It's just I'm new here and really I just moved here and everything! Oh Mr. Wayne I am terribly sorry!" she quickly said, stuttering and choking out the words too quickly. He simply chuckled at her bemused and bewildered expression, and her apologetic tone.
"Do not apologize. It's quite alright," he chuckled some more. "So that must be why you're wearing the staff uniform," she quickly nodded at this sheepishly, "Well it's great to meet the newbie, I'm sure you'll be rising your way up the ladder in no time!" he grinned, at this Nikki inwardly lost it and melted, who could blame her? He is incredibly handsome! She just smiled at him, wordless, mostly still taking in his features and whatnot. He in turn quickly looked her up and down, and grinned, before speaking.
"I'm sure there's a rule somewhere, where it states that an employer cannot date his employee, but you are quite stunning, even in that uniform," he smirked, "but I've never really been one to follow rules, and so I ask you. Would you care to have lunch with me today?" his eyes bore into hers and she saw them glint with some emotion, though she wasn't able to identify it because it disappeared just as fast as it had appeared.

"Maybe some other time Mr. Wayne, I'm afraid that I don't even know my own work schedule, so if you'll excuse me, I have a new boss waiting for me in his office," beaming she turned to walk past him, but he gingerly stepped in front of her, and when she tried to side-step, he followed suit, blocking her way through. She looked up at him, eyebrows raised and trying to hide her amusement. He simply beamed down at her [he's really tall and she's rather short in comparison]
"Miss Jones, you forget that I am the owner of this company and the boss of everyone here! Including your boss! I'm sure I could work something out with him," he smirked and led her to her new Boss' office.

CLIFFHANGER! And super sorry about how short it is. It's really just to give a little taste, like a Prologue if you will. Well really it's almost 2 in the morning so good night readers! Pwease review my duckies! [I like ducks! hehe quack...]
