Late at night, Gotham city, (Gotham Police rooftop)

"I'm so glad you made it Batman, I need to have a serious talk with you…" Gordon said as soon as Batman appeared, turning off the bat signal.
"What about Gordon…?" Batman asks.
"I will be traveling to Spain tomorrow… I have a feeling that our dear doctor Villanueva isn't who she says she is" Gordon says in a serious tone.
"Why do you suspect this…?" Batman asked, fearing the worst.
"With Leonora Santoro roaming around, I couldn't take my chances. I called Dr. Villanueva's office back in Spain and was told that she missed work two days before she had her trip to Gotham" Gordon informs the Batman. He didn't want to believe… that his Leonora was actually the Joker's.
"Are you sure…? She didn't leave a reason…?" Batman asks.
"None at all… and as for Leonora Santoro herself, it's as if she's been erased from this earth. I've tried to investigate on her past, but I've found nothing" Gordon says with lament.
"While you're investigating on Dr. Villanueva, I'll make sure to have some information on Leonora Santoro; did you get any information from Quinn?" Batman asked.
"None at all, she claims she doesn't know her in the slightest… and for some reason, I believe her" Gordon comments.
"And Jennifer Quinn…?" Batman suggested.
"She won't say a word…" Gordon mutters, turning his gaze away from the Batman.
"Then I'll make her speak…" Batman says in a serious tone.
"Batman please, while I'm gone, I want you to keep your eyes open, and try to stay cool. I know what a pain the Joker can be" Gordon comments.
"He is… and I'll make sure I'm an even bigger pain to him" Batman says, jumping off the building.
"Good luck then dark knight…" Gordon mutters, leaving the rooftop.

Morning, Arkham Asylum, cell 456

"Hello Edward, remember me…?" Vanessa says as she walks into the Riddler's cell.
"How could I forget such a lovely dame…? You're even better than I remembered!" He comments, chuckling lightly. He gets up from his chair and greets Vanessa by lightly kissing her hand, much to her disgust.
"I don't need you to flatter me, but thanks anyways…" Vanessa chuckles, snatching her hand from his.
"Now doctor, don't be so feisty, I'm just a guy giving a compliment to a lovely woman…" The Riddler says in a suave tone.
"It's unnecessary…" Vanessa snaps.
"Oh but you're wrong…! It's very necessary; you know I've been trying to win your love for months…! Why, you're the only thing that actually makes me feel somewhat sane…!" The Riddler says, throwing his arms in the air.
"Are you trying to outsmart me…?" Vanessa says in a serious tone.
"Now doctor… don't insult me, I'm a man with class…" The Riddler chuckles,

This was the first time Vanessa had actually met the famous Riddler. He was smart, devious… and quite handsome, yet she was sickened by him. He was conceited beyond words, and she hated men like that.

"Hey Harls… wait up…!" Jennifer says as she walks up to her.
"Didn't think you'd come out for recess today sis…" Harley responds.
"How come…?" Jennifer snaps.
"Because… Mister J will be let out for recess today" Harley answers bluntly, yet smiles at the thought.
"And miss this unforgettable moment… never" Jennifer chuckles.
"Ya know what… go bother somebody else!" Harley yells, storming in to the lounge. As soon as she walked in, she heard the familiar laughter… of The Joker.
"Mister J…! I'm so glad ya finally out!" Harley squeals. The Joker, who was watching Looney Tunes, turns his gaze towards Harley and smirks.
"Hello Harley dear… care to join me babe…?" The Joker says, patting the empty slot next to him on the couch. Harley smiles and sits down next to the Joker, pulling him into a hug.
"Oh Mister J… I'm so happy to see ya" Harley says with glee.
"Harley, Harley… you're always so sweet and sugary, that's why you're my sugar lump" The Joker says, pinching Harley's cheek. Suddenly, Harley slaps him.
"Why didn't ya come for me Mister J…?" Harley snaps, quickly changing her joyful expression.
"Now Harley… that's no way to treat an ol' friend," The Joker cackles.
Where were you, you filthy clown…! I bet you were running around with that short shrimp they call a woman…!" Harley snaps, pulling the Joker by his shirt.
"Oh boo hoo… this poor clowns being abused by a crazy lady and no one's here to save him!" The Joker says sarcastically, smiling at Harley's sudden anger. Couldn't she see that he was enjoying her pain? No wonder why he missed her…
"Answer me…! Why didn't you bust me out of this place when you were free…?" Harley says, letting the Joker go.
"Aw, I finally see you using your brain Harley…" Her sister comments, clapping as she watches her sister Harley demanding an explanation from the Joker.
"Oh… that's harsh…" The Joker comments,
"Then…?" Harley mutters, angry… yet sadness reflected her eyes.
"Batman threatened to take you far away from me, and I couldn't let that happen Harley… you see, you're the only thing that matters to me" The Joker lies.
