Joker pulled out a chair for Allie. " Have a seat. Stay awhile." He said grinning.

Allie sat down willingly and watched Joker sit across from her. Kali sat beside her an a man named Tom sat on the other side of her.

Joker wagged a finger at Allie. " You know who you remind me of?" He licked his lips. " That Garner girl. What was it? Hmm. Amy? Ashley? Abby?"

" Alexis, sir." Tom replied.

Joker smiled. " Oh yes. Alexis Garner. You even look like her!"

" Alexis Wayne." Allie spat.

" Wayne?!" Joker laughed. " Alexis Wayne?! Oh I just knew she'd marry him!"

Allie looked at him confused. " You knew my mom?"

Joker made a wide smile nad narrowed his eyes at her. " Yes." He stood up and pulled Allie's chair out with her still sitting on it. He began to pace the area around her. " And you know what I hated about your mom?"

Allie shook her head no.

" She could never… make up her mind."

The Lamborghini came to a complete stop in front of the plaza. Alexis nearly jumped out of the car. She ran up the cement steps and burst through the ballroom doors. " Stop!"

Joker stopped in his tracks and turned to face Alexis. " Hey babe. Long time no see."

" Joker." His name came out in a cold whisper.

" Wow Alexis. Or should I say…" He gripped her arm. " Mrs. Wayne."

" Let her go, Joker." Bruce said.

Joker made his way over to Bruce. " Hello Bruce. Buddy. How's the bat been?"

Alexis focused her attention on Kali. " Hey Kali. How've you been?"

Kali shrugged with a grin. " Back from the dead."

" More like back from hell." Alexis shot back.

Kali went to slap Alexis, but she grabbed Kali's arm and twisted it away from her.

" Oh. Has your husband been teaching you some moves?" Kali asked.

" Are you learning from Joker? If you are, you should really consider getting a new teacher." Alexis replied.

" The joke is up. I hung up the bat suit a long time ago." Bruce said as he watched Joker pace in front of him.

" Well you better get it back out. Cause I'm back and I'm ready to have some fun with this city!" He almost yelled at the last part.

" What do you want Joker?" Bruce asked.

" Isn't it obvious what I want?" He asked. He walked over to Alexis and pulled her close to him.

Alexis shoved him away. " Stop. Just stop." She whispered.

" Stop? What do you want me to stop?" He asked slowly.

Alexis stared into his dark eyes. " You promised that you wouldn't escape." She snapped.

Joker glared at her with intense eyes. " I guess sometimes promises are broken. You should know what that's like."

She sighed heavily. " I know that I said…" He cut her off.

" Do you remember what you told me?" He asked.

" Yes." She answered simply.

" And did you come back?" He asked.

" No." She replied. " But I can explain."

" I don't want to hear it." He said firmly.

" Yes you do." She whispered.

He looked at her with an angry expression. " Why else would you come back?" She asked.

" Listen… you wanna talk? We'll talk babe. Be here tomorrow. Eight. I'm having a little party here. Everyone is gonna be here. Even your close friend Harvey." Joker said.

Alexis looked at him suspiciously. " Alright. But no jokes." She warned.

" Fine." He slid across the floor to her and slipped a wad of cash into her pocket. " Go find yourself something pretty for tomorrow. Preferably a mini shirt or short dress."

Alexis reached out to slap him, but he backed away. " Now. Now. Play nice." He whispered. " And you might want to keep an eye on that one."

Alexis turned around and then back to see that Joker was already gone.
