Thirteen Years Later...

Hayle Cobblepot, now newly 22 years old, was celebrating her birthday with her boyfriend and her new occupation.

She was dating none other than the notorious Clown Prince of Crime himself, the Joker, as the two were just finishing a very good birthday night that was just beginning.

"What a birthday present." she breathed out as she tried to catch her breath while she laid next to him, her head resting on his chest. "Hell, today has been one hell of a day. I bought this whole portion of the Diamond District from Wayne without anyone knowing it was me, you got this place all pretty like you wanted it, and in just about an hour or two I'll be out with you and my boys to create my milestone tenth job as crime boss when we go out and finish our war with Two-Face. But personally, my ninth was the best one when I broke you out of Arkham last week." she said with a smile as she trailed her hand to cup him as she kissed his neck.

She watched his head arch back slightly. "Hayle."

"Hmmm..." she moaned softly against his skin as she kissed his chest. His hips bucked slightly as she kept touching him. Hayle smirked as she stroked him slowly just to torture him as she nibbled on his pec. His hand caressed over her ass, then down between her legs, slowly slipping a finger inside of her. A high pitched moan escaped her as her back arched almost instantly.

He moved his finger, now fingers, at the same pace as her hand was moving on him. "Mmmm, you just live to torture me, don't you?" she moaned. "I torture because you torture." he groaned. She just smirked before she stroked him slowly once more before she pulled her hand away from him.

Joker's hand stopped, but kept his fingers buried inside her. Hayle looked up at him as she nibbled on the sensitive side of his neck softly. As she did that, he jerked his fingers sharply up into her. She moaned loudly as she bit down on his neck. He groaned and his fingers did the same thing again.

She moaned loudly again before she crawled on top of him. "You're just asking for round two now, baby." she said seductively as she kissed his painted lips, pressing her dripping mound against his hard throbbing member.

He gripped her hips and slammed up into her. Burying deep inside only to focefully hold her still, torturing her by not moving. She moaned and whimpered for him as she looked at him, trying to move. Her hips trembled and shook as she looked at him. She was trying very hard not to moan for him, knowing his games very well.

His thumb began to slowly speed up. Her head snapped back as she closed her eyes. "J..." she moaned. "Feels good doesn't it, baby?" he groaned. "Mmmm god yes." she moaned loudly. "Do you want me to make you cum, my Ice Lady?" His thumb sped up. "You're very close to it." she moaned. He replaced his thumb for his fingers and sped up so much she was shaking like wild. She soon had to grip on Joker's shoulders as she moaned uncontrollably.

Joker moaned along with her as he felt her contracting around his already throbbing manhood. Hayle couldn't help but lay on top of him as she kissed him roughly. He returned the kiss before he flipped them over. She moaned loudly against his lips as she raised her hips immediately.

His hands gripped them again. "Did I say you could move?" he growled. Hayle couldn't help but smirk. "I didn't hear any complaints." she said smartly. He gave her bottom a slight smack as his hand held her throat, not tightly though. "Stay. Perfectly. Still."

She instantly lowered her hips as she looked at him, staying completely still. "Now be a good girl, and scream for daddy." He ordered as he slowly rocked his hips into her. "But mind you, you have to be a good little girl and stay still."

Hayle couldn't help but scream for him as she tried as hard as possible not to move with him. "J! Mmm, daddy!" she screamed.

He kept his pace even, but made sure to hit her spot everytime just to torture her. She screamed for him again and again and by the third time she screamed her hips finally moved upwards uncontrollably. His hand forcefully held them down as he now sped up. "Naughty little girls must be punished."

She groaned as she looked at him, unable to help the sounds that came out of her. "Are you going to be daddy's good little girl?" He growled out. "Mhm." she moaned as she held on to him.

Soon he started slamming into her, making her release multiple times before he himself came as well.

"Oh God, J." she breathed out when he collapsed next to her as she rested her head on his chest. "That was incredible." she moaned softly. "Happy birthday, baby." He said softly as he kissed her.

Hayle smiled as she kissed him. "Mmm, I can't think of a happier birthday." she said against his lips as she crawled on top of him, grinding slowly as she felt his hands on her hips again as she moved and just as she kissed on his neck, before he could turn her over there was a knock on the front door downstairs.

"That'll be my boys." she said softly as she rolled her eyes. "No!" He said as he flipped them over again. "I wanted you all day." He said as he touched her again. She moaned as her head snapped back and she looked over at his clock. "Babe, I think you almost did. It's already six." she said. "Day isn't over yet." He said desperately as he latched his lips onto her. Wanting her to scream for him, just once more.

Ever since she had broken him out of the Asylum he had been on her every second of every day unless she absolutely had to leave him. "Mmmm, ok one more." she moaned. He ate her good and hard, his fingers abusing her still soaked self. Hayle couldn't help but scream for him again and again, she held him in his place as her screams of pleasure rang in his ears. "Oh God yes, J!" she screamed, feeling the best pleasure.

He moaned against her. "MORE!" he growled. Her hips arched as she screamed for him again. "I SAID MORE!" he yelled as his fingers grew rougher. "J! MORE J!" she screamed even louder as she gripped his head tighter. He smirked at her, stopping short just before her orgasm. "J, you finish me now." she ordered as she growled at him. "No, just gives you an even bigger reason to come back." He said with a smug little smirk. Hayle just smirked. "Then let's go so we can get back." she said before she opened the window in his room after she had gotten dressed. "Would you morons shut the hell up! We're on our way!" she screamed at her boys before she smirked at Joker. "Ready to go?" she asked.

"When am I not?" he said with a smirk of his own. "That's true." she said as the two were finally dressed as Joker carried her downstairs, he couldn't help but want to get as close to her whenever he could, before he put her down as they exited his house in the large portion of the Diamond District.

"Are you happy now!?" Hayle yelled at her boys. They all flinched, not knowing what they had done wrong.

"I was in the middle of some particular business and all of you are out here moaning and complaining about how I'm the one that's late." she growled as she got into her car and all of the men followed. Joker couldn't help but feel his member hardening already by her actions, he had to admit she was quite intimidating to her men. They were clearly afraid of her, just like his men were of him. It also humored him to know that those full grown men were afraid of his five foot five little toy that was barely intimidating to him, but he figured it was probably because he had slept with her and new her every move.

Joker put his thoughts in the back of his mind for the moment as he got into Hayle's car as she drove off, her men in the car behind them, following obediently. He stayed quiet the whole way, his hand at it's rightful place on her knee.

Hayle smirked as she looked at him. "You always have to have your hands on me, don't you baby?" she asked with a soft laugh. "I can't help it when you have such soft skin." he said fondly. Hayle smiled. "I know. I am pretty soft." she said as she drove into the Narrows, remembering the place she was warring with Two-Face to get a certain piece of property so her boys could have a place of their own that wasn't so close to her. They were all currently living within Hayle's portion of the Diamond District, except for the house next to the Joker's place that she would call home when she needed to be away from the Iceberg Lounge.

Hayle drove through the Narrows before she saw her current enemy as she made a quick swerve and parallel parked, barely, as she turned off the car, making sure to grab her gun in the backseat first before she and Joker were in the front while her men shadowed behind them in the back in case things got ugly.

Joker sent a smirk her way before gripping her knee encouragingly.

Hayle smirked as everyone got out of their cars as they now stood in front of Two-Face. "I want my property, boys." she said with a smirk at the half-faced freak before her as she sat on the hood of her car, crossing her legs. "Well we are truly sorry, dollface, but this property is ours." Two-Face said in that slightly raspy voice.

Hayle sighed, feigning defeat, as she stood up from her car as she walked over to Two-Face. "That's really too bad. I was wanting it for my men. But if you wanna make things ugly," she said, whipping out her gun as she pressed it to his forehead. "We can make it plenty ugly, especially since you're here." she growled at him, cocking the gun as she held it to his forehead.

Two-face, didn't even flinch. "J. Go ahead, baby." Hayle said as she looked at Joker from the corner of her eye. Joker smirked as his eyes darkened.

He pulled out a gun as he handed it to Hayle, putting it in her free hand as she now cocked it and pointed it to the top of Two-Face's pants before Joker took out a detonator.

"If he pushes that red button, neither of us will have rights to that property." she said darkly with a smirk. "The only thing that will have rights to it is the fire that will swallow it up."

A scowl formed on Two-Face's face, or faces. "Yes or no? You have a whole 10 seconds to decide or my men will hold you down while you watch your beloved property burn to the ground." Hayle smirked as something came into her mind. "Just like the half of you did."

"We'll just see about that. Heads, I'll agree. Tails, I'll let it burn." he rasped before flipping his coin as Hayle rolled her eyes. "Any time today would be nice, Dent." she said boredly. Dent looked down at his coin and growled. "FINE! Your men can have the damn place."

"And I thought you'd put up more of a fight than that. Well I guess you can't complain with me." she said with a smile as she retracted her guns and handed Joker's back to him. "You've got until 12 noon tomorrow to get your sh it out of there. Boys, did you hear me? 12 Noon I want you to move in here, understand?" she asked, turning to her men. Joker pulled her along to the car.

Her men all obediently agreed before they piled into their two cars before they went back to the Diamond District while Hayle and Joker stayed behind as they sat in the car. "Baby, I wanna go for a walk." Hayle said as she looked at him. "Where are you going? I can follow." he said, sounding desperate not to leave her alone. "I'd rather you just walk with me. I wanna talk about something important." she said with a soft smile. "Alright." He said as he linked his hand with hers.

Hayle smiled as the two got out of her car after she had parked it back into her space in the Diamond District before she and Joker walked out of the Diamond District, hand in hand.

"You know you've been even more touchy with me when I broke you out of the Asylum than before you got in, baby." she said. "Have I?" He asked almost teasingly. She smiled. "Yeah. It's kind of strange, for you, but I love it." she said as they walked towards a pier as she got a little closer to him. "I'm sorry, I guess I just didn't want to let go." he said. "Awww, baby, it's fine." she said as she kissed his cheek when they got on the pier. "Let me just kiss you for a minute." she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

He moaned against her lips as he kissed her back. She smiled as she pulled him with her as she walked backwards, getting close to the edge of the pier before she pulled back from him. He went to attack her neck, wanting to have her right then and there, but she stopped him. "Ah, ah, ah, not right now, baby." she said with a smirk as she kissed his lips softly just once before he could do anything. "Mmmm, please, love." He asked nicely.

"Awww, no baby. Not right now. Not here...and not with you." she said with a smirk. "J, you're not the same as when I first met you. You're softer, you're obssessed with me. I know I've had my guys notice the way you acted when I leave you. And you aren't who I want anymore, baby. So now is the time for me to say goodbye." she smiled. "I'll always love you, J. But for right now, goodbye. Oh, and you can't go back to our place. Only to get your weapons and anything else that you can get on your own. I would like some memories every once in a while." she said as she kissed him once more before she walked off, leaving him on the pier.

Hayle's intention was to push him off of the pier and into the water, but she couldn't. She did still love him, but she had a strong feeling that she needed to break up with him. That she needed to make a change. She would have these feelings every once in a while, and this time was even more prominent than before as she walked away from her life with the Joker. A great life, but one that she had to cut ties with for now.

Maybe later. Maybe., she thought as she disappeared from his sight as she was making her way back to the car.

She didn't hear a reaction, she didn't hear a scream, a verbal rant. Nothing. She expected to hear something as she couldn't help but look back, she could see him through the trees that were near the pier as she looked at him.

His hands were gripping the pier, his face was blank...except for tears. "Goodbye J, I love you, sweetheart." she whispered softly to herself before she turned around to start walking back to her car.

Edward placed the gift wrapped Riddle on the Wayne Manor gate. "See you soon." He said with a little wave before riding off on his scooter.

As he was riding back to his place, he was blindsided when a woman stepped right in front of his path as he almost ran over her and she looked none too happy...at first.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?" she screamed at him. "What are you trying to do? Kill me?" she asked angrily as she reached for a gun until she saw him as she stopped in her tracks, her face clear of anger and now full of shock. She went completely speechless as she looked at him.

"Well please excuse me!" He shouted. "You need to pay attention when crossing the street." He said as he settled back on his scooter. He completely didn't recognize her.

"Say the word hailstorm." she said as she approached his scooter, she looked straight into his eyes as she was right by his side.

He froze, slowly raising his head to look at her. She looked at him. "Please, say it." she said nicely. "Hailstorm..." he said slowly.

"Edward." she said breathlessly. "You can't be." He said softly. She looked him over, his hair was longer, now a tad more reddish than she remembered. And he still had his cute glasses. But now, the once cute 8 year old boy, was a drop dead sexy man.

"Yeah. It's me, Edward. Hayle Cobblepot." she said with a smile. She couldn't believe her best friend had turned into one of the most delicious looking men she'd seen since Joker. Sure he was a little nerdy-looking still, but to Hayle none of that mattered. She saw the man she'd been searching for since she was forced out of elementary school.

"H-Hails?" he stuttered. "Riddles?" she asked with a happy smile as tears of joy slowly trickled out of her eyes. He froze up again, and then THUD.

"Oh my God, Edward!" she yelled as she pushed the scooter off of him as she sat down in the middle of the road as she held his head in her lap as she tried to wake him up. "Edward! Wake up!" she screamed as she ran her fingers through his hair.

"Oohhhh I had the wierdest dream...the girl I-" He looked up and into her eyes. "Hayle?" he asked incredulously. "Edward, it's really me. You weren't dreaming. You could've cracked your head open if I hadn't caught you, barely, you know!?" she said, not yelling but raising her voice just a little as she held on to him and kissed his forehead.

Slowly, he got up. "How? How are you here?"

"I told you, I wasn't leaving Gotham. And I live near here." she said with a smile as she massaged his scalp as her fingers still ran through his hair softly. He took her wrists into his hands as he looked at her. "You shouldn't be walking around this late." he said. "I always walk around this late." she said with that sweet smile he hadn't seen in a long time. A sweet smile that no other woman could give him, of course he was never able to move on from Hayle. He barely looked at another while she was gone from his life.

"Get on." He said as he got on his scooter, making sure there was space for her on the back. Hayle smiled as she got on the back of the scooter when he had gotten back on it as she wrapped her arms around his chest as she held on to him.

He drove down the streets till they arrived at his, very small, apartment. When they got inside, she looked at him. "Goodness, Riddles, this is really small. Is there any room for a bed in here? Where do you sleep, sweetheart?" she asked, the nickname pouring out of her without her noticing at first.

"This." He said, looking to the couch and the cot at the end of the triangle room. "Edward. You can't live like this. Come with me." she said. "But I like my apartment." he said and Hayle couldn't help but find him so adorable at that moment. "Aww," she smiled as she held his face in her hands. "Darling, your apartment is just fine, I'm not trying to offend you. It's just...it's more like a study. You know a workplace if anything. But if you love it, I'll stay." she said with a smile as she started back into the apartment.

"What about my stuff?" She looked up at the mechanical laughter of the ask a question riddler.

"I have a place for all of this stuff. Here, let's sit down and I'll tell you everything." she said with a smile.

Edward and Hayle both sat down on the couch as she started her story. "My father got his fortune back after I was finished with my education. He got it all from the success of the Iceberg Lounge. And he splits the fortune with me, so I have money of my own to do what I wish with it. So, just a little while ago, I bought and entire portion of the Diamond District from none other than Bruce Wayne himself, completely anonymously-" she started, not realizing his obsession with Bruce Wayne.

"Bruce Wayne?" he asked, cutting her off. "Yeah." she said with a smile. "I was in a bidding war with him, again anonymously, and I ultimately won the entire portion of the Diamond District."

She saw a look on his face forming. "What's the matter?" she asked, confused. He glanced his eyes at her. "I've been a bad boy."

She tilted her head a little as she looked at him. "What do you mean?" she asked with a smile. "I've been, very, very bad." she heard a darker version of his voice come from his mouth. Hayle couldn't help but be turned on. She was a little when he said it for the first time, but now her feeling was stronger as she looked at him. "What did you do?" she asked softly, trying not to show her inside feelings. "I killed my boss. Forged the footage, a suicide note. And now, I have no job. Bruce Wayne was my idol, and he crashed me down." he confessed.

Hayle tried not to smile, but she couldn't help it as she smiled at him. "That's pretty bad. You know what?" she asked innocently. "What?" he asked curiously. "I've been a really bad girl. Really, really bad." she said seductively and slightly innocently as she looked at him, her eyes were now seductive as she looked at him.

"Do tell." he said. She smiled. "Well, I've been using my education to kill crime bosses, become one myself. I even dated the Joker-" she started. "You? The Joker?" he asked.

"I know. Unlikely combination, sweet little me with the Joker of all people. But he was able to charm me. But I literally just broke up with him just before we reunited." she said with a smile. He blew a raspberry as he scoffed. "You? Sweet?" He said with a laugh as he recalled their childhood. Hayle giggled. "I was sort of bossy as a child. And as an adult. I mean I was the one that said 'let's break into the school tonight'." she said, laughing. "Yup." he said with a smile.

"Anyways, what I was saying. I bought out the Diamond District, and there are houses in it. I gave one to Joker while we were dating, but he should be by there tomorrow to get his stuff. And I have a few for the guys that work for me, but they'll be moving into a place of their own tomorrow that I got for them today. But there's one house that I use for me, and you could have it if you want it. It's bigger than this place and it kind of is like this place a little. It's got a study, and stairs, and a really big bedroom-" she started.

"Will you be staying with me?" He asked as he took a step forward. "Do you want me to?" she asked as she stepped forward. "Only if it will make you happy." he said. "You have no idea." she said softly, wondering if he heard her or not. "Oh it will?" he asked. She couldn't help but smile at him. "Very much." she said, not able to hide her feelings now.

"Then I shall go with you." He said as he got closer. "You know, I've uh...I haven't stopped thinking about you." he said. Hayle got closer as well. "I haven't been able to stop thinking about you either. Even when I was with...him, I couldn't stop thinking about you. Even when we were..." she trailed off as she bashfully looked away.

"I'm flattered." he said. "I couldn't help it." she said softly. "Well then, what shall we do now?" he asked. "What do you want to do?" she asked, stepping one more step towards him. "I don't know. What do you want to do?" he asked. Hayle smiled. "It's your apartment." she said softly as she looked at him.

"But as you said, it's small. But, not small enough for this." He said as he shoved her against the wall, soon pinning her there. She looked up at him she breathed out softly, and he could detect a moan in her breath.

Slowly, he pressed his lips to hers. She held his face in her hands as she closed her eyes, kissing him back as she wrapped one arm around his neck as her other hand held his face still, stroking his cheek lovingly.

Edward had felt a shock run through him. He had wanted to do this since she was taken away from him. Hayle had been wanting to feel this way since the day they had become valentines as she moved her hand from his face as she pulled one of his arms to wrap around her waist, instantly moaning in his mouth at the feel of even just one of his arms around her.

"I've been wanting that for years." he said softly. She breathed out softly as the two pulled away from their first kiss as she smiled. "So have I. You have no idea how badly I've been needing that." she said as she rested her forehead against his.

"So this place..." He said with a smile. Hayle smiled. "I really do like it." she said honestly. "I mean your place. The place you want me to go to." he said. "Edward, if you don't want to go that's fine. I was just suggesting it in case you wanted another place to stay." she said softly as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Can I still see it?" he asked. "Of course you can. Just say the word." she said with a smile. "Please." he said. "Oh, now?" she asked. "Why not?" he asked. "Well I can't think of any reason why not." she said with a smile. "Let's go." she said as she took his hand as she walked towards the door.

Must resist..., He thought as they walked back to his scooter.

He got on before she joined him on the back as she told him where to go before they finally arrived at her portion of the Diamond District. "Ok, mine is the second one, it's right next to the purple and green house right there." she said.

He turned into the driveway and parked. "Wow."

Hayle smiled as she kissed his cheek and got off the scooter. "Yeah. It's home sweet home, sometimes." she said as she looked at him and pulled her key out of her cleavage as she started for the house.

Damn., he thought as he got off of his scooter.

Her hips swayed seductively as she walked to the door as she unlocked it and opened it, looking back at Edward as she smiled at the look on his face. "Are you ok?" she asked. "Perfect." he said.

Hayle smiled when he walked up to her as she led him inside, closing the door behind him. "Wow." he said.

"Come on, I'll give you the grand tour." she said with a smile as she led him into the living room. "Here's the living room, couch, chairs, coffee table, 60-inch flatscreen." she said as if it was nothing as she smiled softly. "Very nice." he said, looking around the room.

"Then the kitchen is over here." she said as she held his hand, leading him into the kitchen. "Stainless steel appliances, icemaker refridgerator, an island. The works." she said with a soft giggle as she hopped up on the island.

"And what of the bedroom?" Edward asked. Hayle looked at him, a hint of surprise in her smile. "You're ready to see that." she said softly before she hopped down from the island as she took his hand again as she looked into his eyes deeply, leading him upstairs and to the first room, with big double doors as she opened one, pushing it open a little more as she kept her gaze on him as she walked into the room with him.

"Big." He said playfully.

She giggled as she smiled at him. "Go take a look." she said as she let go of his hands as she stepped out of the way, leaning against the wall.

There was a huge walk-in closet on one side of the room, on the other side was a very large and elegant bathroom, and in the middle was a big king sized bed that only Hayle had slept in, she had never let anyone inside her own house not even Joker. The bed was very comfortable-looking and had green blankets and comforters with black and green pillows and a blood red body pillow behind the green and black ones, her sheets were made of egyptian cotton and were a seductive black.

There were two side tables with a red lamp on one table and a black lamp on the other as the bed faced the Entertainment center with another flat screen TV and a DVD player along with a case full of DVDs on the other side.

Edward did a little run before he jumped onto the bed with a little "wee".

Hayle laughed as she looked at him. "Edward." she laughed as she looked at him. "Comfy." he said with a relaxed smile.

"What do you think of this place? I've got plenty of empty rooms and if you want you can even re-do this entire place, re-arrange it however you want. That is if you want to stay here." she said as she walked over to the bed. "I'll think about it." He said before pulling her into the bed. She smiled as she held on to him as he pulled her as she let go of him, reluctantly, as she laid next to him.

"I've missed you, hailstorm." Edward said softly. "Riddles, you have no idea how much I've missed you." she said, looking deeply into his eyes as she got a little closer to him. He yawned heavily. "I think I do." he rolled up next to her, instantly falling asleep.

She looked down at him as she rubbed his back, running her fingers through his hair soothingly as she watched him for a few minutes as she finally smiled a true smile for the first time since her last day with Edward all of those years ago as she fell into a peaceful sleep with him.
