Innocence is gone.

Note: Okay, so I know you guys have been looking forward to seeing what my little Jester fears and well, here is the answer :) Sorry for the wait but Homework has been packed recently. :)


There was darkness, everywhere there was darkness.

Suddenly a piercing light broke through the darkness and then she was standing in a room, she recognised it as the police station.

She paused and looked around and then she noticed a man standing there, he wasn't facing her but she knew it was Edward.

"Eddie!" she cried trying to ignore the fact her voice echoed a tiny bit, believing it was because of the walls.

"Eddie!" she cried again as she ran up to him, he finally turned to her and glared, before he raised his hand and smacked her, hard, across the face.

She looked up at him, her eyes were watering in fear as she stared at him.

"Eddie?" she whimpered.

"What you little freak?!" he shouted kicking her in the ribs. "What? Go on speak up!"

"I thought you liked me… I thought you c- cared about me?"

He laughed harshly. "Care about you?!" he laughed even harder now. "Did you honestly think I cared about you, did you think I loved you like a sister? Oh you are so stupid!" he hissed the last bit. "How could you not see I was using you?!"

Jester shook her head in protest. "No… no! I- I know you like me!"

"You're truly an idiot."

Jester cried even harder.

"Jester I have a riddle for you," he said pulling a gun out of his pocket. "Can a heart still brake once it's already broken?"

Then he pulled the trigger, Jester had closed his eyes, but nothing happened.

She looked up confused to find a bang flag in her face, with a laughing Joker behind it.

"Oh! Kiddo! What trouble you've got into this time hmm? Ya' black and white freak!" he burst out laughing at the tearful reply he got.

"Whats all the tears about?"

"I.. I don't what did…?"

"Oh! Speak up!" he laughed as he leaned down. "Do you honestly think I care, I don't even care about my girlfriend, so why would I care about you?"

The girl screamed and backed away from him.

"Oh kiddo, what's wrong?" he laughed stepping closer to her swining the gun on his finger. "Don't you like the truth? Oh well! Life's not fair kid! Get used to it!"

He pushed her off the metal catwalk, she suddenly realised, but she was able to grab one of the metal bars and she hung on, before looking down and seeing the green chemical that bleached her skin.

No… no not again!

She looked up and saw he sister and Black Mask.

"Sasha help me please!" she cried reaching up to her.

Her sister, oddly enough, smiled at her. "Sorry sister dearest. But you were just too perfect."

That word, it echoed round her head. Perfect.

"No one double crosses the Black Mask," Mask growled, learning down at her. "No one!"

Jester whimpered and closed her eyes. "You… you're not real."

She looked up expecting a reply, but none came and standing there was Edward.

He glared down at her and laughed. "I suppose, in retrospect. I should of asked, can a mind still brake once it's already broken?"

Jester's eyes widened. "No… Eddie! Please, please don't!"

"Have you never heard of it Jester?" Edward laughed kicking her off. "Innocence is gone, only fear to play with!"

Then she was falling, it seemed longer then last time, but the out come would still be the same and then she hit the chemicals, she felt it burn her skin.

She screamed and all the time she could hear them, her friends, her boss, her big brother R', her new family at Arkham. They were all laughing at her. All of them, laughing at her and her pain and suffering and then she blacked out, but the laughter still rang in her ears.

Horrible, cruel, laughter.


Edward glared at the screen, his hand in a tight fist, his temper was through the roof.

Calm. He had to remain calm. The girl would be fine, no point in… wait? Was he… was he worried about her?

This was new.

He never really cared for anyone else… well he had, it had just been a long time, so it felt new to him.

He looked back at the cctv showing the small black and white girl curled up in a ball crying to herself.

Edward had to wonder what she had seen. What could brake a mind like hers?

Oh good lord, now he was beginning to sound like Jonathan.

He looked at his phone and sighed.

He really shouldn't.

He looked back at the screen and let out a breath he hand't realised he'd been holding as Harley helped the kid to stand and walk towards the exit.

Jester was holding onto Harley, crying her eyes out and saying something, though the imaging was funny so he couldn't read her lips to find out.

"What the hell did you see Jester," he muttered absently picking up a certain rubix cube that just so happened to be the one a six year old Jester had solved all those years ago.

Edward found himself sliding the colourful blocks across and he began to think.

What had happened to the girl? What had happened after the police station, the first day he met her, what happened at that orphanage? Why were the twins, two identical sister suddenly drove apart, why were they polar opposites?

Edward sighed and rubbed his eyes before glancing back at the screen again.

He made his decision. He knew what he was going to do.

He pulled his key bored towards him, before setting to work on typing the letters in.

J, E, S, S, I, C, A, T, U, R, N, E, R.

He knew that once he pressed entre that things between the two of them would change.

He wasn't meant to know about her, he understood that's what she wanted but he needed to know.

Glancing back at the screen with Jester, who was now smiling and smacking a guard round the head with a frying pan, in the mansion.

Edward pressed entre.
