Finally after two weeks of not updating there is a new chapter! Yes this story will only be updated like every two weeks. Thank you for the people who faved, commented, and alerted this story.

Disclaimer: I don't own DC, Batman, or anything famous. But I created the beastly character Gauntlet.

I enter Gotham City, I'm not in my Gauntlet costume though. I head for this place they call Crime Ally. My cousin Angel use to live near here. I'm in Batman's territory. I have to keep on the down low. The last thing I need is some dude dressed like a flying rodent on my ass. This place is horrible. I walk down the road and I find this card club called The Smokin' Aces. I walk inside and I scan the perimeter. There are henchmen from every major villain here.

I look and I notice Harley and her gang of clowns. I walk over to their table and I 'accidently' bump into it. I place a bug under the table. "Sorry." I say.

"Watch where you're going you stupid bastard." She says.

"Wow what crawled up your ass?" I say as I walk towards the bar.

"What did you just say?" She says.

I turn around and smirk, "I said what crawled up your ass?"

"WHAT! GET HIM BOYS!" She screams. One of the henchmen charges at me. I side step and I trip him. He falls into Two-Face's group. A second one comes after me. I grab him by his arm and throw him across the room into Penguin's group of men. A third guy charges at me and I grab him by the neck and slam his face into the ground.

Suddenly the queen of the circus act lands a solid kick right into my jaw. "Tell me something crawled up my ass! I'll friggin kill you!" She snaps.

I crack my neck, "You want to dance jester! Let's Dance!"

"My names Harley Quinn!" She says as she starts back flipping towards me. I stand there and wait. I put out my fists and her face impacts with my fist right as she goes to land her flip. I pick her up off the ground and slam her against the wall.

"What do you know about Impulse?" I snap at her.

"I…I…don't know what you're talking about." She sputters out.

I slip a blade out of my jacket sleeve and put it against her throat, "Have you ever wondered what your insides would look like outside?" I say with a smirk.

She starts to cower in fear, "And they say Bats and that new chick are cruel. Mr. J ain't gonna be too happy about this."

I slam her against the wall again, "I don't care about the stupid clow-" I say and then I get a chair to the back of the head. Harley calls her men and they run towards the door. I struggle up right as they reach the door. I run outside after them. Shit! I can't let them get away. Suddenly a van shows up and they all hop in. "Better luck next time you filthy hobo!" Harley screams at me right as I hear the most evil but hysterical laugh ever. Joker! Joker sticks his head out of the window and waves. The van drives away. Shit! Well at least I can get rid of a huge chunk of Gotham's scum. Time for Plan B. I pull out my detonator and hit the button. The whole Smokin' Aces club explodes. I walk away and pull out my cell phone.

I dial Angel's number. It rings three times and then she picks up, "Hello." She says sleepily.

"Hello my favorite cousin." I say.

"That's 'cause I'm your only cousin…you do realize it is 2 in the morning."

"Yeah I kinda need a place to stay." I say as I get into my car.

"Why?"

"I'm on business trip with Ben." I say.

I hear her get up in the background, "No way is that prick staying in my apartment!" She snaps.

"No worries he won't be. He has his own apartment here."

"Since when…wait why aren't you staying with him then?" She says.

"Because he has bad habits…I tell him to leave those hookers alone."

"Who is that?" I hear a guy say in the background.

"Who is that Angel?" I ask.

"My uh….teddy bear yeah that's it my teddy bear."

"You're twenty nine you don't have a damn teddy bear."

"Well I'll see you at my apartment in 30 minutes." She says and then I hear fumbling in the background.

"Just stay at Grayson's I'll use the key under the mat."

"How did you do that?" She asks.

"I'm a bounty hunter remember. It's my job to know these things."

"Nothing happened." She says.

"I didn't say anything happened." I say

"Well neither did I." She says.

"Just shut up and go back to bed. We'll talk about this tomorrow morning." I say and then I hang up the phone. I drive to Angel's apartment and grab the spare key. I open up her apartment I walk in and see Ben already out cold on her couch with the TV on. Oh shit Angel better not find out about this.

I shut the TV off and I walk into Angel's room. I look around her room. Damn she found a good sugar daddy. I take my boots off and I jump on the bed. I close my eyes and I fall asleep.

I pull up to the house and no lights are on but her car is in the driveway. That's weird. I walk up to the front door but it is opened a little bit. Something is defiantly wrong here. I pull out my gun and kick the door open. I see Impulse in the back door way walking out of my house. He turns around and waves at me. He keeps walking. He is in the stolen suit. I run after him but right as I get to the living room I stop.

I fall on my knees into a pool of blood. I pull my two loved ones close to me and I start to bawl my eyes out. I look at my son and he has his baseball uniform on.

I hear this evil crackling laugh. I turn around and I see Impulse waving again. He turns into a clown and starts laughing evilly.

I jerk up from my bed and I'm in a cold sweat. "Man you move around a lot in your sleep." I hear Ben say.

"Dude why the hell are you watching me!" I snap.

"Because I kinda broke the TV."

"You broke Angel's TV. Dude she is going to kill me." I say.

Suddenly I hear the door open. Shit Angel's home.

I hear Dick's voice, "Oh my God Angel what happen to your TV." Damn it she brought Grayson.

"Cooper what the hell did you do to my," She says and then she walks into her room, "TV? What is he doing in my apartment?" She screeches. Suddenly Dick walks in.

"What's up cousin!" Ben says.

"You didn't answer my question. Cooper I told you one rule! One friggin rule and you couldn't follow it!" She snaps.

"Hey Angel it's not my fault he beat me here. He was on the couch out cold. What was I suppose to do wake him up?" I say as I get out of bed.

"That's exactly what you were supposed to do!" She snaps. Dick holds Angel back right as she goes to lunge at Ben. Suddenly Damian walks in here, "Hey Angel do you have any food…oh wait this is some family shit I'll just go wait in the car since one of these dumb asses broke your TV." He says and then he walks out.

"Charming." Ben says with a smirk. He starts to walk out of the room, "What did you like knock her up?" He says as he looks at Dick and Angel.

Angel's face turns red, "Get the hell out of my apartment now!" She snaps.

"I can only hold her back for so long." Dick says.

I put my boots on, "Ok I think we over staid our welcome…we're just going to go to his apartment."

I notice Dick glancing at my boots and then I hear Angel, "Then why couldn't you stay there last night!" She screams.

"Ok Angel I'll talk to you later." I say and then I walk out. Angel, Dick and I walk into the living room.

Suddenly Ben opens the apartment door and looks in, "Wow someone must be on their period." He says.

Dick just looks at him and then Angel speaks, "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!" She snaps.

"Damn Grayson I've never been scared of her until now." Damian says. I run to the door, "Bye Angel." I say and then I close the door.

Ben starts laughing like crazy. "Did you really have to make her that mad?" I say as I look at him.

"If I didn't we wouldn't have that very special relationship that we have today." He says and then we walk out to my car.

"What relationship?" I say as I unlock my car.

"Exactly." He says with a smirk and then he gets into my car. "So you blew the place up huh?" He says.

"What place are you talking about?" I ask dumbly.

"Candy Mountain. What do you think I'm talking about? I'm talking about the Smokin' Ashes or wait I mean Smokin' Aces." He says as he throws his hands in the air.

"Oh yeah that place." I say.

"Yeah that's the only place in this crappy city that I know called the Smokin' Aces…did you at least get anything good."

"Well I basically started a crime war…between Joker, Two-Face, and Penguin…and kinda everybody else."

"How the hell did you do that in one night?" He asks in aw.

"Well I kinda started a fight first and then I blew them all up…except for Joker's gang." I say.

"Dude that is like totally bad ass!" He says and then he knuckle bumps me. We pull up to his apartment and we get out. We walk in to his apartment. He walks over to his table and opens up a huge map of Gotham.

We start circling areas where Joker could possibly be, "Hey did you hear that Batman has a new tag along."

"Wait you mean the one that dresses like a hooker." He says.

"Don't they all." I say.

"So when are you going to tell Angel?" He asks as he stops and looks at me.

"Tell her what?" I say and I keep searching the map.

"She has a right to know dude Cassidy was her best friend and she loved Tommy."

"Why do you care you can't even stand Angel!" I snap at him.

"Dude we may not get along but she is still my cousin. It's not like I hate her I just like to annoy her." He says.

"I'll tell her soon. That's the last thing she needs. She is still broken up over Linda's death. I mean Linda only died a few days ago."

"Wait Linda died! When the hell did this happen?" Ben says.

"Oh I don't know maybe if you were actually nice to her she might have told you…Ok we'll talk about the whole death subject later. We have to go to Arkham now." I say and then we leave. We pull up to Arkham and we walk inside.

We walk through security. We flash our badges and they let us inside. We get stopped by a guy with a hook. He has a name tag on that says Cash. Ben looks at him, "What Captain Hook crocodile eat your hand?"

"Ben!" I growl.

"Yes actually a crocodile did eat my hand." Cash says.

Suddenly somebody from a few cells down says, "And it was tasty to."

"What do you want?" Cash asks us.

"Well you see we need to talk to Joker about a double homicide." I say.

"Well why do you think he would be involved he has been here the whole time." Cash says.

"Because he is Joker he is finger deep in everything. Now let us talk to him." I say.

Cash nods and leads us towards his cell. We walk by cells filled with psychos. Ben smiles and waves at all the psychos who probably want to kill him now. We stop when we reach a room that says Unknown on the plaque. Cash opens the door and we walk in.

"Well well I didn't think I'd be seeing you two for a long time. The last time I saw you two I was still Red Hood."

"What are you talking about?" I ask.

"That's the point you don't know me but I know all about you Cooper Marks…even about you poor wife and son…I'm very sorry about your loss." Joker says and then he starts laughing hysterically. I lunge over the table and tackle him on the floor with my hands around his neck. Joker starts laughing even harder.

"Bats does this all the time. You think this is actually hurting me! Think again." Joker says.

Ben pulls me off Joker, "We came here to interrogate him not kill him."

"What makes you think I'll talk there pretty boy."

"Well we do know where your true love Harley is." Ben says.

"Oh so you do know where my Harley. Please do enlighten me." Joker says and then he smiles evilly.

"…ok you called my bluff." Ben says.

"I may look like a clown but I'm not stupid Ben." Joker says. "Alright fine answer one of my questions and I'll answer one of yours."

"Fine but we go first." I say. "What do you know about Impulse?"

"Well you know I have impulses all the time. Sometimes I just feel like jumping on a guard and punching his face in. I did that a few weeks ago but Bats brought me back. It's like he knows that I love this place. It is my home away from home."

"That's not what I meant you stupid clown."

"Oh now Mr. Marks you didn't say how I had to answer the question."

"You bastard!" I growl.

"Just let him ask his question and we will try again after." Ben says as he puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Hey kid you aren't as dumb as you look." Joker says, "Well anyway my question is who killed you're wife and son?"

I glare at Joker, "Impulse!" I say.

"Do you mean to tell me you just snapped oh or are you talking about that Mexican gang lord that I might have hired to kill them."

"What are you talking about clown?" I snap.

"Hahahaha that's your next question I can answer that…well the answer is technically I have no friggin clue because I said might and plus all the doctors say I'm 'psycho'. I never know what I'm talking about." He says and then he starts laughing and stops, "Ok time for my next question but first Ben has to leave the room."

Ben walks out of the room and he has a paranoid look in his eyes. I turn around and look at Joker. "So what's your question?"

"Would you like to know where Impulse is?"

"Yes."

"Fine break me out of Arkham and I will gladly show you the way." Joker says.

"Hell no I'm not breaking you out of here."

"Fine I'll just have him killed and then you can never get your revenge. Now your choices are that you break me out or I send the dogs after him. You have five seconds to choose."

I think for a second, "Fine…I'll break you out." I say with a sigh.

Joker smiles evilly.

There you have it. Chapter 2 of the epic story I've written as I go along, but it works for me. Of course with the help of Linda aka DrakesChick. She is the creator of Angel/Black Velvet.
