The night is darkest before the dawn. But I promise, that dawn will come.

Kirsty was passed out on the bed when he came in, seeing nobody found her yet. He pulled out his knife, grabbing her, she woke up and then freaked out.

"What the fuck man?"

He covered her mouth, backing into the bathroom, turning off all the lights.

"We have been found."

She blinked then heard the echoes of gunshots and whatnot. He was holding her like a hostage, but he didn't want to let her go again. He was thinking this was safe keeping her this way.

"What? You told me they'd never find you here."

"I'm guessing it some someone from the inside."

He looked at her, knowing she didn't do it. They backed into the darker corner near the shower, then they sat on the floor.

"You don't want to leave do you?"

Kirsty ignored him, focusing on the noises outside of the room.

"Shit."

They were trapped, then she looked up.

"Uhh..you can climb through vents okay?"

He looked up, then pushed her out of the way pulling the vent off.

'This should lead to the roof…'

She thought then flinched as they kicked down the door. J pulled himself up into the vent she grabbed his hand, pulling herself up with his help. She took the vent, closing the door thingy just before they burst into the bathroom. He grabbed her covering her mouth they kept quiet, their breathing slightly echoing through the vents. He glared at the swat team who came in and out of his current home.

"They aren't here."

Kirsty recognized Gordon's voice anywhere.

"Search this entire building and the surrounding area. Check the vents as well."

He knew Kirsty was a sneaky person, and being with the Joker he knew they would do anything.

He let her go, letting her breathe normally again. He grabbed her arm then they started crawling through the maze of vents, climbing up onto the roof. He pulled her out then he ducked down, looking around. There were helicopters everywhere it would be hard for him to get out of this one. He looked around, the found what he was looking for. The small black duffle bag hidden near a vent for purposes in such situations such as the one they were in. He grabbed her arm roughly then dragged her along, dodging any search light possible. Kirsty leaned against the vent near them, looking around. She squinted.

"You're friend is here.."

Just then, J grabbed her, fiercly pushing her out of the way just in time for The Batman to jump at him.

"Batsy! Baby! Just in time for some fun!"

He pulled out a weird button thingy that seemed like a revamped tv remote, he smiled gleefully as the building shook. Barrels from the basement had exploded, part of the foundation collapsing. The whole building shifted and balls of smoke coming from the vents and pipes on the roof. Kirsty covered her mouth as the smoke filled the entire area making it hard to see. This was her time to escape. She crawled over to the duffle bag, grabbing a black pistol, shoving it in her belt then she crawled away from the Joker and the Batman who were wrestling each other on the ground. She stood up, trying to focus on things around her, then the roar of a helicopter came, then the floodlight hit her, the smoke being cleared from the helicopter.

"Put your hand on top of your head."

She chose to ignore the police, knowing she hasn't done anything wrong. She jumped out of the way, hiding behind the vent. She looked over seeing the Joker was pinning Batman down, punching the hell out of him. Kirsty got up, running towards them.

"Stop it!"

The both looked at her, then The Joker pulled the move he wanted to ever since he came to Gotham. He grabbed the mask of the Batman, tearing it off his face, cutting his cheek in the process. Kirstys eyes buldged.

"BRUCE?!"

The Joker started laughing insanely.

"See, now I had a hunch someone like you would be the Bat! What a delight!"

He cackled, Kirsty looked at him, who was looking at her. Kirsty was stuck in her spot she couldn't move or think properly.

'This..Bruce..Batman…'

She blinked, then got a hold of herself.

"You..You're Batman?!"

The Joker kept laughing Bruce was weak from the intense fighting. He lazily nodded his head she saw blood coming from his head. Just then she snapped.

"Oh, god what do I do now?!"

She looked at Jack, then at Bruce. She had feelings for both of them, now they were both..There.

"Shit."

She was lost. She started pacing regardless of what was going on around her. Bruce took the opportunity and kicked The Joker in his leg, knocking him over. Kirsty turned to run.

"Kirsty!"

"No! Go away!!"

Bruce chased after her, The Joker laughing insanely after them.

"She won't go with you!"

He scrambled up, taking a detour running after Kirsty. He jumped out, grabbing her. Kirsty shrieked, feeling his arms go around her violently.

"You wouldn't go back to the Bat now would you? After everything I did for you."

She was confused, so she nodded now to keep her head.

"Good. Now daddy and Batsy are going to have a chat so stay here bunny."

He let her go, she ran after him, right before they started fighting again, she stood in between them.

"No!"

They both stopped, looking at her oddly.

"Kirsty, get out of the way."

"No! You guys can't do this."

The Joker glared at her, then he suddenly grabbed her arm, pulling her towards him, holding the knife against her neck close enough she started to bleed if she moved a little bit. Bruce took a step forward, the Joker took a step back. Kirsty winced, keeping her eyes closed. She was planning something out in her head. Too many people died on her account because of The Joker and his infatuation with her. He kept her close, using her for a shield from Bruce and so Bruce wouldn't get her.

"Kirsty. Don't be afraid."

Kirsty looked at Bruce in the eyes, she gave him a look that let him know she wasn't. The Joker saw, and he grew furious.

"DON'T LOOK AT THAT MAN LIKE THAT!"

Kirsty jumped, then he suddenly threw the knife at Bruce, getting him in the stomach. Kirsty cried out.

"No!"

The Joker grabbed her arm, headbanging her, she fell to the ground. He pulled out another knife, climbing on her, holding her wrists above her head.

"You're MINE!"

Kirsty was at a loss for words as she saw he was hurt, but more or so angered. She felt his eyes burning into hers, she closed her eyes.

"LOOK AT ME!!"

Kirsty looked at him, their hair being whipped around. They weren't moving, they were simply staring at each other. Kirsty showed no fear, which was why she was staring at him. Suddenly, Bruce jumped at The Joker, they both went crashing to the ground again. The Joker kept laughing, then suddenly the building collapsed on one side, Kirsty rolled and hit a vent, holding on. They didn't even notice she was hanging on for her life.

"BRUCE!!!!!! JACK!!!!!!!!!"

She screamed, they both looked at her, Jack kicked Bruce in the face, breaking his nose and splitting his lip. A sickening crunch was heard as he hit the ground, he hit his nose again on the roof. Jack ran towards Kirsty, then he grabbed her arm, pulling her up, but she then pulled the knife out of his jacket, slicing his arm. She ran away from him, picking up the gun she dropped, holding it to her head. The men froze, and the helicopter focused the light on them.

"What are you doing?!"

Kirsty took another step back as Jack tried to advance on her. She hit the ledge, she almost fell but she balanced herself.

"Don't come any closer!"

Bruce stood up, cracking his nose back in place, and grunted in pain as he stood up the knife wound bleeding intensely. Kirsty stared at both of them.

"Too many people have died on my behalf."

Jack glared at her, most of his make-up smeared off from sweat and blood. Bruce walked closer to her as well. She pointed the gun at his foot, shooting at the roof. He froze, and she did the same to Jack.

"Kirsty. Stop thinking like this."

Kirsty aimed the gun at Jacks face.

"Stop! I gave you everything! I literally died keeping you safe. I gave you anything you wanted!"

"You also took something away from me."

He clapped his hands, bowing.

"It's what I do. Now stop acting like a clown."

He snickered, Kirsty rolled her eyes, then she looked at Bruce, who kept his distance. He was trying to tell her something with his look.

'You wouldn't.'

She looked at him, then Jack. She suddenly realized she had only one way out of this predicament. She dropped the gun, tears forming. They spilled over her cheeks, and she walked towards Jack, who held his arms open for her.

"Now that's a good bunny."

She stopped, then he ran at her, kissing her fiercely. She grimaced slightly, her hate for him appearing in that moment. She pulled back, hugging him. She looked at Bruce.

"I'm sorry.."

Then she did the unthinkable. She grabbed The Joker's jacket sleeve, throwing both of them over the ledge falling to their impending doom.

"KIRSTY!!!!"

Bruce ran to the side of the ledge, seeing the mess. They had landed on a vehicle, but he couldn't tell if they were actually dead.

Kirsty looked around, her body numb, she had broken a few bones and her body wasn't cooperating. She was laying on top of Jack, who was out cold, or he was dead. She felt her heart break, her life seeming useless and wasted now that this man who ruined her, but yet saved her, she had killed him. She tried to move, but couldn't.

She tried as best as she could, but she only reached his scars.

"Jack..I'm so sorry...I..I love you..I never thought I did, but..I do."

She kissed his scars passionately, then she felt him take a sharp breathe in, then she heard noises.

She looked around, swat teams and everything swarming in. She didn't know if she was dying or not, but she felt herself fading away.

"Dad.."

She closed her eyes, letting the darkness consume her.
