Ch.1 Running.

She was running down the streets of Gotham. Running right to the house now made flames. A child's wailing voice was being carried in the strong wind right to her keen ears. Men in red were fighting the flames with no luck. She ran up not giving anybody time to speak with her and she jumped into the window sending glass everywhere. Screaming followed her into the flames.

"Kid what the hell are you doing!? Get out of there!" She acted as though she hadn't heard the man in red as she ran in the flaming house right to the child's screams. She kicked in the child's door to find a white faced horror standing over the small boy with knife in hand.

She snarled "Joker." It was not a question but the pale man took it as one. He turned a wicked smile across his evil face. "yessssss?" He hissed making her flinch. "Let the boy go….now." she glared into the Jokers insane eyes. Any other time she would have left the Joker to the Batman but she wasn't going to let him kill this poor kid. "And if I don't little girl? What then you going to kill me?" His mocking tone pushed her over the edge. "Yes" She lunged forward grabbing for the knife to find it in her arm. She staggered back pulling the blade from her arm. She looked at the Joker anger in her eyes. She lunged once more stabbing the blade deep into his leg. He let out a scream of shock. "HOW DARE YOU NOT PLAY BY THE RULES!" he screamed at her as she ran to the boy grabbing his arm leading him out of the burning room.

They ran into the hallway which by now was all flames. She looked at the boy he looked to be about 4 half her age and height so she picked him up. She used her body to break through a weak wall trying to get them from the now advancing Joker and out of the flames. "YOU CAN'T BREAK THE RULES! YOUR GOING TO DIE TONIGHT LITTLE GIRL!" The boy whined in her arms at the sound of Jokers rage. The girl ran up the stairs with the boy. The upstairs was not as badly on fire so she broke into a run again looking for a way out. Her head hurt from the smoke and the screaming coming from the Joker and outside.

At this point she'd give anything for that stupid Bat to come and save the day. He didn't come. She ran into a room that had a large window. Her arm burned but wasn't bleeding. She could feel burns all over her body but the boy wasn't hurt that's all that mattered here. The window wouldn't open so she smashed it cutting her leg up badly.

"Hold on kid." She jumped from the window turning her body midair so that she would hit the hard sidewalk first and hopefully not hurt the boy. A scream left her mouth before she could stop it as she hit the hard ground with a loud thud. In seconds there were people all around her. She just stood with her broken body placing the kid on his feet as carefully as she could. He ran off into his mother's arms.

She heard the one sound she would never forget. The unmistakable swish of a heavy cape. She was running again only this time away from the fire. She could hear the pounding of boots behind her. She ran in to a dark alley.

"You hurt." The voice was stone cold. The Dark knight had just rounded the corner into the dark. "Yeah s…so?" She bit down on her lip. Her voice just….Broke? She was trying to stay calm but her rage was bubbling. "You need help." The cold voice replied

"Not from you." She was running yet again. Her body screamed at her to stop but she wasn't going to not now. She went to hop a fence but her shirt got caught on the top and instead of going over and landing on her feet she fell strait down landing hard breaking her already broken bones. She let out a quiet scream as she made impact. Her eyes were slowly closing as the dark figure walked towards her. Her world went black.
