I do not own any of the Batman characters except for Lydia Valmont.Dark Knight spoiler.

Lydia was happy to be back in her apartment. The night was fun but it took a toll on her energy. She met many people who complimented her music abilities. She found Bruce Wayne intriguing. She wish she had the millions he had. The clock read one in the morning. She thought of the classes she had in the morning. She attended Gotham University as a junior who was studying Criminal Psychology with a minor in the Occult. Her books were stacked on the table as she set her keys down and took her shoes off. Her german shepherd greeted her as she walked through the hallway and into her room. Everything was as she left it. The bed was made, her clothes were folded, her perfume bottles were still in order. Lydia was in fact a perfectionist. Everything had to be perfect in her realm of living. She quickly changed and went into the kitchen. She cut the television on and the news caster was heard immediately. She wasn't concerned with what the weather would be like tomorrow. Lydia took a coffee cup out of the cabinet as she poured the steaming liquid into her glass. She set the timer on it before she left due to the test she was going to prepare for all night.

"It seems as if Gotham has another criminal in the works."

Lydia looked at the television briefly before adding sugar and cream into the black mass.

"A jewelry store was robbed tonight at nine pm. Many diamond rings and necklaces were stolen. Many think that this is the work of the villainess Catwoman. Everyone should remember that Catwoman, who has disappeared for some time now, robbed jewelry stores and murdered many males that populated the city…"

Lydia at the point had drifted off to sleep, stretching out along the couch. Her coffee begins to grow cold, the clock strikes two o' clock. A jingle of the doorknob was barely heard. The door opened slightly and a man with broad shoulders walked in. His face was solid white with the exception of red smeared into a smile and his eyes blotted with black it went along with the darkness in his eyes. The Joker. He had followed her home and waited, watching through windows. He came to the couch in which Lydia laid, his gloved hand gripped the knife that was in his pocket. He quickly moved from her presence and began walking into her bedroom. Everything was in perfect order. He felt the urge to tear the room apart, just to cause some chaos. He noticed a calendar pinned to the wall. Walking over to it there was a day marked Class trip to Arkham Asylum.

An idea popped into his head. It would be the perfect time for a meeting between the two. He mind set forth as to what he will do. He needn't worry about escaping, he had managed it once before, after he was left to the S.W.A.T. by the Batman. He began to rummage through Lydia's stuff. He found the first song on her play list, and also had the most plays, was by the group Aqualung, the song "Strange and Beautiful". Placing the earphones into his ears he began to play the song over and over. He found class registration papers for Gotham University and discovered her full name to be Lydia Faith Valmont. Faithy.

The Joker went through her clothes, dirty and clean. Her sizes were rather small but he devoured the scent of her. He went through her jewelry boxes, her perfumes, and her books. He discovered her major and her minor. He found the case to a violin as well as a harp stored in her closet. His dark eyes glanced at the clock, 4:38 am. He was due to Arkham soon. He placed her IPOD down and walked out of her room, leaving the light on. He glanced back down at the sleeping woman and stopped. Removing a glove, he placed his cold hands on her cheeks. There is much in store for his Faithy. He smirked and walked out of the door, not bothering to relock it.

Chapter is short but the next one will be longer. Please review. And thank you!! To all those who have!
