Written between myself (Darkmeditation on tumblr) and my Joker rp partner (thejokenobodygets on tumblr) Things get very graphic in later chapters, so if you're of weak stomach, this may not be the story for you.

Disclaimer: I don't own shit. If I did, I wouldn't be on the internet.

The light click of her boots resonated through the alleyway, a wild cheshire grin plastered on her face. Raven had just made such a beautiful mess of things~

'Those poor thugs,' she thought to herself as she ran a hand through her hair. 'Never stood a chance.' They had it coming though. It was better for them to learn their place now, than to deal with her when she was really riled up. Removing her hand from her head, Raven's lips twitched ever so slightly.

She didn't even mind that her bangs were slicked back now, the red of the blood barely discernible from her deep purple locks in the fading light.

There she stood, just listening. "Well it's about time," she said, seemingly to nobody. Not the case though. Raven whirled on her heels to face the man that had walked up behind her.

"I was wondering when you'd show up."

"So it did happen again." Jack said, smirking as he came up to her. Actually, he'd been cautiously watching from around the corner as she tore apart some small time thugs. Hmm, such boring work for such a powerful being..

Jack stopped right in front of her, fingers looped in his pants' belt loops, the tails of his long coat slightly billowing in the cold wind.

"I knew I had to come to you, and you knew as well. Raven…" He spoke her name with such resonance, "..remember our little exploration in my bathroom? Remember what I said about the make up?"

The Joker's ruby lips kept curling up more and more.

"Jack," she said, her lips closing into a smaller smirk. "Those thugs were nothing of what I can do." she answered his unspoken statement with a tone of smugness.

With a nod she acknowledged his questions. This was certainly going to be a fun night. Knowing full well what he wanted from her, she flashed those glowing red eyes up to meet his.

"How could I forget?"

Now Raven was genuinely interested. Even this side of her knew that Jack was on her side. No need to dispose of someone who had such use to her in her current situation.

Wanting to know more, she stepped closer to him and nodded. "Spare no detail."

"This is very personal, and you know it. Dr. Hugo Strange.. he's… he's gotten away just when I thought I HAD HIM." His voice grew to a deep growl. This was clearly a big issue. Jack looked ready to spring demon eyes and tear up the city too. He sure wished he could do that. It would certainly give him some stress relief.

But the only person he really wanted dead right now was Strange.

The man who dared to manipulate and brainwash his mind.

"I need him dead, Raven.. He doesn't deserve to be alive right now.. after what he did to me." The memories of his stay in Arkham, blind and brainwashed, hypnotized, his memories taken from him.. It ALL came flooding back to the front of his mind.

Where Raven could read it all.

And read it all she did. Every last thing. Every pain, every tear… It made the demoness' blood boil.

She might be spawn of hell itself, but she still knew where some loyalties lay.

That bond she had with Joker wouldn't be broken so easily… Especially when it had the potential to lead to such fun as what he wanted her to do to Strange. She would have at this man, this so-called doctor who convinced Jack he was a monster…

No.

She'd show Dr. Hugo Strange exactly what a real monster was capable of.

"I'm in."
