Chapter: Changes
Alex opened her eyes slowly to look up at the ceiling squinting as white light shone through the window to the left.
Wait-A window?
She almost jumped off the bed in surprise as she searched her surrounding cautiously.
It was a beautiful room with lovely artwork and the paint was softly done on the walls. She sat in a large king sized canopy covered in fine silk covers.
Was she dreaming?
Alex felt something heavy land on her stomach making her jump again. It was that cat the one she had saved. It rubbed it's head against her shoulder purring like crazy.
She remembered somethings, but it all seemed so fuzzy.
She remembered the jokers and what they had done, then she had killed one of them. But then they had killed her.
Alex clearly remembered that. But that doesn't make sense then she wouldn't be here.
Maybe this was heaven. Not that she believed that much in it but this did seem like heaven.
Alex pulled off the covers and found she was in a black leather body suit. She didn't remember owning this she looked around and found three bags laying on the desk.
She opened the first and saw all of her things, well most of them but she didn't care at least one thing was familiar around here. Next she opened the second bag to find dozens and dozens of creds.
Her mouth fell wide open and she quickly broke into the third bag tons of jewelry and this wasn't the fake kind this was real gold and real gems.
How-? That's when she caught sight of the time it was long past morning in fact it was after lunch aswell.
She was supposed to be in school! In fact she was supposed to be in Mr. Elwand's class.
Shit!
She seemed to forget the creds and the jewelry as she frantically tried to get ready.
Alex looked in the mirror, she could defiantly not where this to school, but there wasn't any cloths in the bag that she didn't remember packing.
She caught sight of the closet in the room, well it was worth a try.
Alex peeked in the giant walk in closet, what she found made her gasp. It was full of cloths and not just any cloths, but designer products that cost mint. The only time she had seen these kind of cloths were on the rich kids at her school.
These were all very flashy and glamerous. She liked them but she new she could never wear anything like this to school.
Alex shook her head, Ok Alex you're worried about school? You don't even know where the hell you are?
She walked out of the bedroom searching for a vid link.
Alex found one in some sort of silver painted kitchen. It said for Lobby press 1, for room service press 2, for spa treatment press 3, and it went on and on from there.
She must be in a hotel! But who had brought her here obviously somebody really rich, because this place looked like a mansion.
Alex pressed the lobby button and a pretty woman in a red hat and uniform appeared with a smile on her face, she seemed really peppy.
"Hello how may I help you, Ms.Vanders?" She asked pleasantly.
"Um, I'm not Ms. Vanders, whoever that is." Alex said.
The woman looked confused "But you registered under that name last night and paid for two days rent upfront, I remember you specifically.
"You mean I checked myself in and I paid for rent? No one else was with me?"
"Yes mam, and no one else was with you except for your cat." The woman said trying very hard not to look at her like like she had just grown two heads but failing misrably.
"Um, where is this again?" Alex asked sheepishly.
"Hotel Isle Row" She knew where that was it was only a couple of miles from her high school luckily.
"Oh okay um thanks…"
"No problem." This time the woman didn't even try to hide back her look.
Alex just rolled her eyes and pressed the off button. She needed to get to school now she'd worry about the other stuff later.
She went to the closet and picked out the most non-flashy outfit there was, it was a red blue and black outfit.
She then grabbed the bags of jewelry and creds, and stuck them in the safe box in the corner. That should be okay for now.
Then there was the cat, poor thing looked like it hadn't eaten in forever. Alex went to the com link and pushed 2 for room service.
"Hello mam what can I get you?" Asked a young man in a blue uniform.
"Um, can I get two cans of tuna and a quart of cream. I-we're probably not supposed to have pets here but I have a cat and I was wondering if, when you bring the food up here, you could feed it. There's ten extra creds if you do this and ten more extra credits if you don't tell anyone."
He gave her the look that the hotel woman had given her but then greed kicked in when she mentioned the creds.
"Sure."
"Thanks so much, I'll put the creds on the table."
She turned it off and got out two ten dollar cred. AS she placed them on the table she itched the dark tan cat behind it's ears.
"Sorry Kitty but I gotta go, I hope that idiot actually comes down here to feed you, if he just tries to take the creds feel free to bite him."
It actually seemed to understand her with those big intelligent gold eyes, she gave a sad smile and ran out the door.

Alex managed to get into Mr. Elwand's class five minutes before the ball rang to release everyone from school.
This time she didn't miss his look of lust as he checked her out. That made something inside her snap.
She raised her hand and got a seductive smirk on her face.
"Mr. Elwand there's something I just don't understand could I maybe stay after class for you to help explain it to me?" Making her voice sound as innocent as possible, while she fluttered her lashes at him flirtatiously.
His thin lips twisted slowly into a very nasty smile. "Of course Ms. Burnet."
The bell rang minutes later. Alex waited till everyone was gone before she stood up with a sexy smile and she sauntered slowly up to Mr. Elwand's desk.
He was waiting for her eyes raking her body.
"Mr. Elwand something happened yesterday...I was…changed. I hope for the better." She could see he wasn't paying any attention to her words, his mind was too busy trying to visualize what he was going to do to her.
Alex gave a smirk and the with her arm she shoved everything off his desk. Mr.Elwand's eyes almost popped out of his head as she crawled up on it.
He grabbed for her but smashed her heel into his chest driving him back into his chair.
"Somethin-a pure miracle, transformed me from the quiet little girl you wanted to use for your own delights, the quiet little girl that you were so sure wouldn't tell anyone if you threatened and black mailed her into doing what you wanted her to do." Her face was a deadly calm, her eyes ice cold, her pupils almost slit like. "Do you want to know what that was Mr.Elwand?"
She leaned face in close to his hear and whispered. "I died."
With that last word she leaned quickly back and delivered a strong right kick to the side of his head, then another and another, until finally his face was a bloody mess.
She smirked wider baring her teeth as she smelt the fear that was pouring off him and she loved it. Alex stuck tongue out and ran it up along his cheek tasting the blood that ran there.
It was delicious.
She kicked him with both feet in his chest tipping him and his chair over, then jumped gracefully from the desk to press her heeled shoe down on his neck cutting off his air.
"Now listen to me and listen closely, if I ever hear you were preying on girls again I will hunt you down and instead of my foot at you throat it will be a blade. Of course I'll make sure you lose some of your essentials first, so I can hear your wonderful screams." She snarled viciously. "Got it?"
He struggled to nod his head as his face went from red to lovely shade of magenta.
"And trust me, I'll here about it even if you so much as eye ball a girl, basterd."
She gave him a kick in the lower regions and left the bloody piece of trash gasping for air.

Alex felt confidence, and grace she new she never have it. She felt sexy, and sure of herself. She new she had never felt like this in all her life.
She walked slowly down the hallway and out ino the patio swaying her hips in a unheard beat. Alex didn't feel rushed she took her time feeling the sun on her skin.
"Hey geek girl!" A thunderous voice wrung in her ears, making her wince. Alex turned to find none other then the devil wanna be herself, Jennifer.
But the strange thing was Alex wasn't scared as Jennifer marched over too her.
This stumbling macho girl didn't frighten her, Alex could feel power laced into every muscle in her body ten times whatever this girl could have.
Alex looked up a bored expression painted on her face. "Yes?"
Jennifer took the cigarette out from between her lips blew a big cloud of nasty smelling smoke in Alex's face.
Alex just rolled her eyes and wafted the smoke away with her hand.
"You got my money?" Jennifer asked making it sound more like a threat then a question.
"No." Alex replied dryly. "And I won't ever be paying "your money" so why don't you just go find some guy's ass to fuck and stop pretending to be a girl, because you're really not fooling anyone with that costume, now please do me another favor and get out of my face."
Jennifer's eyes widened in shock, whatever Jennifer was expecting it defiantly had not been that. "W-w-what did you say to ME!"
"Was that too complicated for you?" Alex asked, talking to her like a teacher would talk to a kindergartner. "Her I'll try something with a little less words. Get. Out. Of. My. Face."
This time Jennifer had gotten over the shock and she was just plain pissed. She took a swing at Alex. But she seemed to do it in slow motion, Alex easily sidestepped it and brought her arm twisting tightly behind her back. Before Jennifer could even comprehend what was happening Alex sent a hard kick into her back making her topple over a bench.
Jennifer struggled to stand up so Alex helped her, pulling her up by her spiked collar. Once she was up Alex thrusted her elbow hard into Jennifer gut and then smashed her own knuckles up breaking Jennifer's nose instantly.
As Jennifer fell Alex grabbed her by one of her horns and said "Maybe you should be more careful about who you pick on because the next quit girl might not hold out this much."
Jennifer just let out a moan and Alex dropped her to the pavement. Then slowly finished her long walk too her hotel, humming cheerfully under her breath.

-Terry, did you find anything-
"Yeah, but it doesn't look like Joker work. This is something beyond belief. Check it out" Terry scanned his eyes over the disgusting site before him.
There had been a mysterious fire that had consumed half this run down apartment, But that was not why he was here. He was here because of this body.
It was now very rotted and maggots had found their way in it, along with tons of other bugs.
-It looks like it was attacked by a wild animal.-
"Yeah, you know all those wild animals roaming the city." Terry retorted sarcastically.
-No, but there are plenty of people that have been turned into wild animals that roam around this city.-
"You're thinking it was splicers? But why would they be attacking Jokers?"
-That's what we're here to find out-
"Yippy, Yeah another mystery this time not even in our own city."
It seemed Bruce decided to ignore this comment. –Get back here, and I'll do a scan of any other Joker attacks recently, while you go out on patrol. There's no more work there for you.-
"Is that all you needed to look at Batman?" Detective Sonia Alcana asked.
Terry just nodded. Sonia Alcana had been the big master mind behind the Batwoman Project.
"Good." She said as she put the cover over the body again. "Do you have any guess's on what kind of creature could've done something like this?"
"Has there been any other Joker attacks recently?"
"I thought I was the one asking the questions here." When he didn't say anything she just rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath, it sounded like Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
What the hell did that mean?
"Well now that you mention it there was a fire in an old warehouse down in Blimeth terrace, it was rumored to be an old Joker hang out, but the fire destroyed everything no one recovered any bodies we were lucky enough to find a couple of guns, but they could have just been stored there."
When she turned around he was gone she sighed "I hate when they do that."
