"Wake up Aceie" Aceie sat up in bed and looked up at her father's smiling face "Happy birthday" The Joker grinned, hugging his daughter "Thanks Daddy, what'd you get me, huh huh?" The Joker chuckled "Something special since you're such a big girl" He pulled a small, red box out of his pocket "Ta - Dah" Aceie opened it and found an elegant, black handled, switch-blade knife "Thank you daddy" She squealed, kissing his white cheek "Can I help you tonight? Please, please, please" The Joker laughed "Okay since you're all grown up. . . Did I ever tell you how I got these scars?" Aceie smiled "Yes Daddy, but tell me again"
The night was dark and cloudy as the Batman glided around Gotham City Where are you Joker? He thought, then he saw a purple dot appear on the roof of a jewellers roof, followed by several clown masked henchmen.
"Showtime" The Joker declared, laughing as the hired thugs blasted their way through the shop roof. Aceie laughed too "Which card am I, Daddy?" She asked following him, while he supervised the loading of the loot. He smiled at the joy in her painted face "The Ace of hearts" he said producing the card from his sleeve. Suddenly a figure in black smashed through the window taking down two henchmen. The Joker chuckled "Well, well Batman, long time no see" The remaining henchmen charged at the Batman swinging their fists, they soon found themselves unconcious on the pavement outside. "Joker!"
Batman heard the Joker's insane giggling and dodging around broken glass and unconcious thugs, he found the Joker alone on the roof "Joker!" The joker looked around "Who me? You don't need to shout, I'm right here!" He lunged forward, punching at Batman's head and kicking like a windmil with the knife points of his shoes, batman however soon pinned him down. The Joker giggled "Now this seems familiar, we make a good pair don't we, Batman" Batman didn't notice Aceie standing in the shadows behind him "Do you wanna know how I got these scars?" "No!" Aceie suddenly spoke "When he was a boy his brother got drunk, and slashed his face with a razor blade" The batman looked around and the Joker took his chance and sent the batman flying "Glad we could have this talk batman, but I'm afraid we have another appointment" And with that the pair had disappeared into the night.
Batman looked at the two cards on the floor The Joker and the Ace of hearts, who is she? He wondered, thinking about the girl dressed in a green skirt, red jacket and red ribboned shoes
