Tension filled the air around them. Tom stood staring motionless at Joker. His eyes moved from the Joker to Hailey. She stared back at him sadly. Joker let go of Hailey and pulled out one of his switch blades. Hailey's eyes widened at the small knife. She knew what Joker could do with those things.

Joker switched the blade in and out as he looked at the ground. Finally he froze. He turned his head to look at Hailey, who was frozen in the corner still. "Refresh my… uh memory… will you Hailey?" She looked up to meet his gaze. "What did I say would happen… if Tom ever came around here again?"

The gulp from Hailey was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. "Please don't hurt him. He…" Joker cut her off. "That's. Not. What. I. Asked." He said, between clenched teeth.

Hailey glared at him, her body washing over with anger. "You said you'd hurt him." She replied, harshly. Joker nodded and pointed his knife at her. "There you go." He said, in a high voice.

Both of them moved their attentions back to Tom. He looked a little frightened, but not entirely scared. "Look. I just came over to see if Hailey was okay." He said, while putting his hand up for protection.

"Awe… how nice of you to worry about her." Joker replied. He licked his lips as a thought popped into his head. He shook his head over to the side once before speaking again. "What would've happened… if she wasn't okay?"

Hailey gasped. She didn't like where this was going. Something bad was going to happen to her, she could feel it. Not only would Joker make Tom pay for the mistake, but also her. She waited for Tom to answer, but he didn't.

"Don't wanna talk, hmm?" Joker asked, with a hint of anger in his voice. "Then, let's find out what would've happened." Before Hailey had anytime to process his words, Joker had grabbed a hold of her arm. He jerked her forward violently.

"No, stop!" Tom reached out for Hailey, but Joker pulled her back and shoved her into their glass cabinet.

All of the glass antiques that Hailey was collecting, spilled on top of her. She put her arms up, to at least cover head. The glass dug into her arms and she could feel the blood run down her arms. The pain was excruciating.

Tom couldn't believe that Joker had just done that. He went go to her side, but Joker pushed him back. Tom gave Joker a look, before trying again. This time, Joker wasn't so nice. He gripped Tom's collar and shoved him back against the wall. Tom looked over to see Hailey roll over, moaning in pain.

Without thinking, Tom pushed Joker back with all his strength. Joker stumbled backwards until he hit the dresser. He cursed under his breath, before giving Tom a deathly look.

Hailey looked up to see Joker stalking towards Tom. "No… stop." She tried to speak louder, but the glass was digging deeper into her skin. She pressed her hands onto the carpet to help her stand up, only to have more glass dig into her hand now.

The space between Tom and Joker was slowly closing. Tom reached up and threw a fist at Joker. Without hesitation, Joker gripped Tom's wrist and twisted it around. He continued to twist it back, while Tom tired to take the pain. Within seconds, a small snap was heard and Tom gasped. "Shit."

Joker let go of Tom's wrist. He had successfully broken it. Laughter escaped his mouth, as he watched Tom grip his wrist in pain. Joker gave a forceful kick to Tom's stomach, that sent him backwards into a lamp.

"Stop!" Hailey yelled. She had finally worked up all her strength to yell. Joker ignored her and continued to go at Tom. Hailey looked around frantically. Beside her was one of her favorite snow globes. It managed to make it through. She picked it up and threw it at Joker. It hit him dead smack in the middle of his back.

When Joker turned around, Hailey gave Tom a look. Tom pulled himself up straight. "Run Tom!" Hailey screamed. "I'll be fine, just go!" Tom took off.

Hailey waited until she heard the front door slam shut, before rolling over onto her back. She groaned and looked up at the ceiling. Until, she couldn't see the ceiling anymore. All she saw was Joker hovering over her. "Help me up, will you." She said, slowly.

He shook his head. "Looks like… you got hit pretty bad." Joker chuckled.

"I need to go to the hospital." She moaned.

Joker laughed. He glanced over at the clock on the nightstand. "Well… I have to go take care of a friend. So. I guess we can make time to take you to the hospital later." He let out his bone chilling laugh once more, before walking out of the room.

At least he was leaving. Hailey heard the front door close again. She crawled out of the glass pile and went towards the nightstand. When she finally reached it, she picked up the phone and dialed Harvey's number. "Harvey? Hey, can you come get me?"

(XxXxXxXxXxX)

"What the hell happened, Hailey?!" Harvey asked loudly. The sight of his little sister was unbearable. He helped her get out of his car, he had her propped up by his arm. They went across the parking lot to the emergency doors of Gotham General.

"I already told you, Harvey. I tripped and fell into my glass cabinet." Hailey lied. When they went in, a lady at her desk got wide-eyed.

"Oh my goodness." The lady stood up. "You're the second person to come in here looking all beat up." Harvey gave her a funny look. "Here, I'll get you a doctor right away."

"Thank you." Hailey replied. She shuddered in pain and gripped her stomach. The glass was digging deeper inside her.

"Follow me." The lady led Hailey and Harvey down the long hall of rooms. They stopped at room 103. "Go ahead inside. Dr. Marks should be here in a minute or two."

Harvey didn't look very happy. "No, we need a doctor now. We're not going to wait a minute or two! This is my sister and she's in pain! Get the doctor, now!"

"Calm down, Harvey. It's okay." Hailey whispered.

"No. It sure as hell is not okay!"

A tall man with blonde hair walked in the room. "Hello. I'm Dr. Marks." He smiled, until he saw Hailey. "Oh my. What happened?"

"She fell into a glass cabinet." Harvey answered. Hailey looked up at Harvey. "Thanks Harvey." She said. "But I think he was talking to me."

Dr. Marks smiled. "Well. We're going to have to get all that glass out right away. I'm going to have to knock you out for a few hours to get it all."

Hailey nodded. "Okay. Whatever it takes." She desperately wanted to know if Tom was okay.

"Sorry Hail." Harvey grimaced. "But I'm going to have to sit this one out. I really don't want to see glass being pulled out of your skin." Hailey smiled. "I'll wait out in the waiting room for you." He touched her hand before leaving the room.

(XxXxXxXxXxX)

Harvey sat in the waiting room for a good three hours. Finally Dr. Marks came down the hall, with Hailey behind him. He stood up and went to his sister's side. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"I am now." Hailey answered.

"She might have one or two small scars, but other than that, she should be fine." Dr. Marks said.

Harvey nodded. "Good." His expression suddenly turned different. "I'm sorry Hailey, but I have to go to a meeting with the mayor and Gordon. Do you mind going with?" He asked.

"No that's fine." Hailey said. "Anything to get me out of here." She whispered, so only Harvey could hear.

(XxXxXxXxXxX)

Hailey sat outside the mayor's office. She was so bored. There was nothing to do, but wait. After a few more minutes past, she decided to get up and walk around.

She walked past the bathrooms until she passed a dark hallway. There were no lights no. Almost like an alley. She gasped when someone grabbed her arm and pulled her back. She was pressed up against a wall in the dark hallway. A man whispered. "I need to talk to you."

So I hope you all liked it.! Another special thanks to everyone for reviewing and reading. Just a hint. The man that is in the hallway is not Joker or Tom. He hasn't been in any of the past three chapters, but he is in the Dark Knight. Can anyone guess who he is.?
