" I am really getting sick of you." Joker whispered in the most harsh tone Alexis had ever heard.

Alexis tried to back as far away as possible, but he grabbed a hold of her hair and threw her down to the hard ground. She tried to stand up. It was no use. All he did then was kick her in the stomach and side. " Get up." He hissed. She did and then he kicked her back down.

" Stop! Joker, leave her alone." Gordon brought himself up to help her, to once again be thrown to the floor.

" You wanna play games, Alexis? Well… let's play." His tone was now dark and scary. He continued to kick at her and occasionally punching her. Finally he knelt down beside her. " I'm a pretty understanding, guy. But… you just have to annoy the hell out of me."

Alexis let her anger get the best of her and threw her arm up at him. He flinched back just in time. He took both of her hands in one of his and got inches away from her face. " I don't want to hurt you, Alexis. Believe me. I. Don't. But. I will, if you make me."

" Get away from me!" She screamed.

He let go of her and turned back to Gordon. " Well… Commissioner, since… our plans together didn't go as planned this time… we'll just have to meet up later."

Alexis crawled over to a cardboard box and peered inside. There were small blocks of wood inside. She was really pressing her luck this time. She pulled out the biggest piece and threw it at Joker. Hitting him dead smack in the center of his back.

When he turned around, his eyes were full of cold redness. " That's it." He said, with the smack of his lips. He pulled out one of his knives and threw it at her. Thankfully she dodged it.

" Don't hurt me." She begged silently. " I didn't realize…"

" You didn't realize… what?"

" I don't know."

Joker forced her up and then kicked her back down. He punched her hard in the head, making everything go blurry. She could barely make out his face. It was inches away from hers. " Do you know how close you are to being dead?" He asked.

" No, but I know how close you are."

Joker made a confused look and then turned around to be punched in the face.

" Alexis get up." Batman yelled. " Gordon help her!"

Alexis looked up at Gordon. " Gordon? Is… that you?"

Gordon smiled softly. " Yeah. It's me. Here, I'm going to help you out of here.
