*** Ok, I'm back from my spring break! This chapter is short, but is just as good as the rest. Thanks to Red Tigress for your response. I'll post the next chapter within a couple of days. Until then, enjoy! ***
Her eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness that she was put in. She slowly walked out of the room, her gun pointed forward ready to blast anything that moved. After a few minutes of silence, she was beginning to wonder if there was any cause for alarm. The lights, however, never came back on. She decided that she should go outside to investigate. That was her mistake.
**across town**
"Well, well, the gang's all here! Heh, heh!" said the Joker.
"Now, as first order of business...."
"Um, Joker? Why are we here?" asked one of J-man's gang.
"Rule number one...NEVER interrupt me!"
"Sorry," he mumbled.
"As I was saying, the first order of business is to round up all of the gangs. J-man, Chucko, I want you to find every Jokerz member in this city. Tell them to meet at the old Funnibone shipping company tomorrow night near the bay. It's time that the Jokerz started to be more of a real threat to this city. Ghoul, my boy, you're going to help me find something that I lost. I need to find some old documents hidden at Arkham. DeeDee, you'll tag along with us."
"Are you going to tell us what this is all about?" asked J-man.
"Yes, now go!!!!"
"Sure, whatever....let's go gang!"
Chucko and Woof went with J-man, leaving the others with the Joker.
"Okay, Ghoul, DeeDee, let's go."
**back across town**
Barbara Gordon was outside, her gun still drawn. She looked up and gasped. She thought she saw a menacing figure on the rooftop. She gasped again when she heard her name.
"....BARBARA..."
"Who's there?" she asked as she kept turning around trying to see who was calling her.
"BARBARA GORDON"
A cloud of smoke began to form in front of her. The dark figure that she saw on her roof was now stepping out of the smoke.
"BATGIRL!"
That word shocked her. She couldn't understand how this person knew that she was Batgirl.
"W-ww-wwhat did you say?"
"BATGIRL, YOUR ANGEL OF DEATH AWAITS."
"Who are you?"
Silence.
Her gun was now aimed directly at her soon-to-be attacker. Her hands began to tremble. Somehow she had managed to form the question again.
"Who are you?"
"FUNNY, TIM REACTED THE SAME WAY."
Then he began to walk towards her. She pulled on the trigger.
BLAM!
The figure kept advancing towards her.
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
He wouldn't quit.
She tried to get her thoughts back together again. Her mind was racing so fast. She couldn't think straight. She began to run, anywhere to get away from this guy.
The figure disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Barbara looked back once and saw that he was gone. Immediately, she remembered about Bruce. She took out her phone and called him up.
"Hello, Bruce?"
"Barbara, what's going on?"
"I think I know who killed Tim."
"Really? Who?"
"The same guy that's after me right now! Have Batman get over here now! Oh, and Bruce?......CLICK"
"Barbara? Barbara??? Damn!" Bruce switched on the receiver in Batman's cowl. "Terry, someone is attacking Barbara. Go to her house and make sure that she's safe."
"Right," replied Batman.
