The Last Days of Cynthia Banks

by JanEyrEvanescence12

What would've happened if Joker had dropped a stranger out the window instead of Rachel Dawes? Would he have drawn the same conclusion that he did in the film? Or would he have had a backup plan to push Harvey Dent over the edge? Either way, single mother Cynthia Banks is going to find out when a man wants to watch the world burn.

A/N: Hey guys! It's your lucky day! Two uploads in the same day!

Yeah this is shorter than most...but it'll bring in a familiar person...any guesses as to who this guy is before I upload the next chapter?

Wayne Tower II

Everything flew by in a flurry of activity. Bruce bought me a little black dress from the Armani store and soon I was busy calling caterers, booking bands, sending invitations and dealing with questions about Harvey Dent.

I was so busy that I realized I forgot to hire a babysitter for Helen until literally the afternoon before the fundraiser. So in the middle of my lunch break, I called my neighbor, Brian Douglas. He was a father of three kids himself and had watched Helen in the past.

"Hey Cynthia! Need someone to watch Helen?" Brian said.

"Yep. I know it's short notice but my boss had me work late tomorrow. I'll pay double." I said.

"It's no trouble at all. I'm busy tonight but will be free tomorrow. What time do you want me to pick up the munchkin?" Brain said.

"Five okay? I'll pick her up at about midnight."

"You got it. Meet up at Wayne Tower and do the exchange?"

"Sounds good. I'll see you then." I hung up, relieved and went right back to eating my lunch.

I didn't learn until the next day that was the last phone call Brian Douglas ever made
