So, igirlwholikesherstuff has officially become my favorite reader that I don't know in person. She reviews every time she reads, like a nice person. =] My hat goes off to you. Well, it would…if I had a hat.

This chapter is going out to my good friend, Katie, because it was late one night, and she helped me come up with scenarios. So, hun, this one's for you. =]

So, I noticed that a little part had been cut out of chapter 9. I'm not entirely sure why…So I replaced it. Just so no one's confused and I fill in the gaps, this is what was cut out (I put the sentence before it, so you know what part this is supposed to be after) :

But Killjoy left the way she came in.

Out of nowhere, a white cloth covered her mouth. Killjoy was overwhelmed by the smell of chloroform. She struggled as much as she could, but grew weak, and soon met blissful darkness.

And then the last part goes right after. So, I hope I cleared things up. =] Onward, to Chapter 10 =]

She couldn't remember how she had gotten there. Then, it came to her so fast she had to go over it a few times just remember it clearly.

Killjoy was walking out the back entrance of the bank and she was all smiles. Fenari was yelling at her in her head, telling her they did an unforgivable act, but Killjoy was ignoring her. But then, out of nowhere, a man's hand came from behind her, covering her mouth and nose with a white cloth. Adrenaline kicking in, Killjoy thrashed around, trying to hit her assailant. But, to no avail. The world around her grew fuzzy and it seemed to slow down. Before everything went black, she saw in front of her a brown face staring down at her.

"You put up such a fight…" Said the same voice that greeted her. Killjoy squinted her eyes, trying to see past the light. She saw a slight shadow, and then it came forward into the light, and right into her face. Her eyes widened. "Tell me, what are you afraid of?" It asked her.

"Who was supposed to leave with her?!" The Joker yelled. He was pacing up and down the living room floor, whilst his men and Miss-E stood by, watching. "Who was supposed to make sure she got in the truck?! I know one of you was supposed to!" He pulled a blade out. He grabbed one of his men. "Was it you!?" The man shook his head frantically. The Joker shoved him back, and he was caught by the men behind him. This went on for a few more moments.

"It was me! I was supposed to make sure she got to us…" Confessed a voice. The Joker stopped in mid step, and turned slowly to look at the confessor.

"Tony…I'm shocked…" The Joker flipped his tongue, and waltzed toward him. Tony looked at him with a hardened expression.

"I was trying to get all the money into the truck…I thought she had jumped into the cab…" He explained softly. He looked down, dejected. "I…Oh, Sal's going to kill me…"

"Oh, no…Let me…" The Joker said. He flew forward, grabbing Tony.

"Wait!!!" Came Miss-E's shrill protest. "Don't…You'd crush her…He's all she has left here…Since she left everything else behind…If...If you want to stay on her positive list…Let him go…Please…" She begged. The Joker stared into Tony's eyes, and saw Killjoy's heartbroken expression if she found out her Godfather was killed. This was a painful sight to him, and it struck him as beyond strange. The Joker's nostrils flared, and he snarled,

"You…will….find…her..."

"I will." Tony promised. The Joker let him go, roughly. Tony walked quickly out of his room, taking out his cell phone. "I want a search and a bird's eye of the city. Any sign of her, you let me know. Find anyone that has a grudge against Fenari Castelletti, as well. Got it? Call me back when you find out anything." He hung up, and he went to his own room to do some research.

"And what are you all, uh, standing here for? Get moving!" The Joker snapped to the rest of those in the room. Quickly, they all hurried from the room. The Joker plopped down onto a couch. He sighed. "What is this girl doing to me…?"

"What..?" Killjoy asked, confused. She stared at the…face…in front of her. Well, she assumed there was a face underneath the burlap sack on the man in front of her.

"What are you afraid of…?" He asked again. His voice was scratchy, and demonic. Killjoy's eyes narrowed even more in confusion. She tilted her head slightly, and brought it forward.

"I'm sorry…I'm a little confused…Who are you, now?"

"Scarecrow…" He said. Killjoy made a sound of recognition.

"Oh, right! I've heard of you…Your fear toxin…Strong stuff. Tell me, is there a face that goes with the genius?" She asked. What are you doing?! Fenari asked Killjoy. Well, I'm either going to talk my way out of this…Flirt my way out of this…Or kill him…Somehow…I don't feel like getting my new outfit dirty…So….Killjoy responded. The…Scarecrow in front of her tilted his head as if reading her. Slowly, one of his pale hands came up to the sack, and pulled it off. Killjoy looked at him, determined to see her captor. The burlap sack hit the floor, and she looked at it for a second before looking up at the man in front of her. Her eyes widened slightly.

His face was slightly rectangular shaped with high cheek bones. He had shaggy brown hair that was slightly messy due to the mask. He had fair skin, but the things that popped out most to Killjoy were his eyes and lips. He had a perfect pout, which she imagined felt amazing to kiss. And his eyes were a bright, beautiful blue. Holy Crap…Fenari thought. Holy crap is right…Killjoy said back. "You seem…shocked. Are you alright?" The man asked with a business like tone. Snapping to reality, Killjoy asked,

"Well, how would you feel if you had just finished the biggest heist of the year, and as you were walking out ready to celebrate, you were abducted, hmm?" The man before her raised an eyebrow.

"Are you always this sweet?"

"As a matter of fact, I am. Tell me Scarecrow, is there a real name that goes with that?"

"My name is Dr. Jonathon Crane. I'd take your hand, but it's a little tied up." He said. He slowly walked around the chair, and stopped behind her.

"Aren't you clever." Killjoy said.

"That's what they tell me." Jonathon said, bored. He leaned forward, over her shoulder. "You know…I bet you're even more beautiful under all of that makeup…" He mused. Killjoy scoffed.

"Trying to charm your way into my heart?" She asked. Crane let out a small laugh.

"I already have." Killjoy made a face. She turned her head to look at him.

"You haven't done anything to me."

"Well, then let me." He disappeared into the darkness, and turned out the light. The room went completely silent. Killjoy listened for any movement. Any sound. But she heard none. Finally, after what felt like hours, the room lit up, and Killjoy snapped her eyes shut from the brightness. Crane sat down in front of her, on his own chair. He had a wet cloth in his hand. "The light must really be bothering you. Let me help…" He reached out, and Killjoy tried moving away. He held her face with one hand and gently wiped off her makeup.

When he was finished, he moved her hair on her right side to behind her ear. "You see? You really are beautiful. Does he tell you that?" Killjoy looked at him oddly.

"Who?"

"You know who. The Joker. Has he ever told you that?"

"He's not the type to."

"And that's what you want? To love someone that doesn't even care? Someone that doesn't tell you that you're beautiful? Even on the verge of tears? Bruised?"

"He…Why are we talking about this? Why am I even here?!" Killjoy snapped.

"Because. You need to realize what you're getting into. Welcome to the criminal underground, Fenari." Killjoy's eyes shot open.

"My name is not Fenari."Killjoy said darkly. She shook her head, causing her hair to fall in her face again. Crane cocked an eyebrow.

"My, my…Aren't we frightening?" He asked. He smiled a little. "Calm down. You're in no position to act intimidating, which by the way, works only when you're untied. Maybe I could assist with that…Promise you won't make a bad move?" After a moment, she nodded. He stood, and untied her. Killjoy stood slowly, and stretched. Crane walked back in front of her. He looked her up and down with his eyes. When his eyes traveled back up to her face, she was smirking. Before he could react, she rammed them both into the wall behind him. Their faces were inches from each other. "I thought you weren't going to make any bad moves?"

"Oh, no. That was a good move." Killjoy said. She stared him in the eyes. He didn't seem frightened. As she caught her breath, she heard something. It was distant at first. Then it grew louder. Voices! Fenari realized. Very good, Fenari. Killjoy returned sarcastically. She was caught off guard by Crane's next move.

He knew she was distracted by the voices coming from outside the room, and he knew they were her family's voices. He quickly looked to his left, where there was another door. He looked back at Killjoy, and grabbed her wrists. Her head snapped back to him, and before she knew it, their lips met. It wasn't a rough kiss. It was a gentle kiss. Killjoy's eyes went wide for a moment, before she found herself returning it. WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Fenari screamed in their mind. Shut the hell up. I'm a little busy…Just as quickly as it started, he pushed her away gently, leaving her stunned. He stepped forward, grabbed his mask, and slipped out the door.

"Killjoy!" The door was blasted open, and The Joker and Killjoy's family burst into the room. Killjoy snapped to reality, and looked at the people before her. Before she knew what was happening, The Joker pinned her against the wall, and was kissing her roughly. Killjoy pulled back in shock and stared at him. "You don't know the shit you do to me." The Joker said to her. Then, he dragged her out of the room roughly and his men and Miss-E followed. All the while, Killjoy's mind clouded over with confusion. She didn't know what was going on. Do I want Him? She thought while looking at the back of Joker's head. Or Him? She asked looking back at the room that was growing smaller as they kept walking.

Review, Please =)
