Earlier today she has escaped from Arkham Asylum and killed five security guards. She is wanted for 500,000 dollars. If you find her and know where she live please contact…" The T.V was turned off; a giggle came from a young girl. Sitting in her chair all high and mighty with her legs on the armrest. " I just loved my art being admired by thousands of people in Gotham." She got up from her chair and walked out of her so-called " Chill Room". She's at her all time famous hideout that is in an abandon joke shop that was own by her father. It was really a big place cause all they would sell was comedy tape and funny electronic gags, which brought in a lot of cash. They made a lot of extensions and made bigger rooms and then it became a little comedy club at night. On one of those cold night, while Her father was locking up a man was asking him if he could have a dollar, so as a generous person, he gave the poor man some cash. The man became greedy and was asking for more but that was the last bit of change he had. So the man was furious and killed him with a shotgun. She was waiting for her father all night so he could tell her the jokes and stories that would tickle her funny bone, but he never showed up. At the age of 10 her life became a living hell. Her father died, her mothers abandon her, and she had nobody. She stayed at a foster home for troubled kids for six years. She was abused by her foster father everyday of those six years. When she had the courage to runaway she found her self with a man with the same problems she use to have. He changed her life. Instead of being helpless and needy he taught her to standup and defend for herself. Until that horrifying day, when batman killed her mentor she just lost it. She was a sad girl till she thought about her father always telling her " Laugh when you down" she became brilliantly insane and plan her revenge on batman. Her mentor taught her to not see her killing as pointless murders but as art. As she reminisces about her horrible pass, she walks out and went to the dressing room where the comedians use to go and rehearse their jokes. Following her was her pet hyena, Laffy, Rubbing her head on her side. " Hi Laffy" She yarned. She changed out of her Clinic clothes and into her nice comfortable Pajamas that has the word HA everywhere on her bottom and top. She jumped in the bed and snuggled in her sheets, Laffy did the same thing. Jackie lay in the bed looking at the poster of Bozo the goofy clown, Her idol, on top of the ceiling. She lay there thinking about her father. " I miss you daddy." She said with a tear falling down on the side of her cheek. Laffy stop rolling on the bed and sat down next to Jackie. They both fell asleep.
