Chapter 2

Here We Go

"he he ha aha ha ha he he aha ha" a deep voice laughed as it drew Aisha's attention to her living room.

"something funny" Aisha said as she walked into the living room and saw a figure standing in front of her fireplace. "Joker my dear"

"oh nothing just waiting on you beautiful" Joker said and turned and gave Aisha a smile which she returned "good you learned to smile"

"yes" Aisha said as she walked closer "a reason for this visit darling"

"thought I'd come by and see what the misses has for me" Joker said as he walked closer

"I hear the Batman is Harvey Dent" Aisha said as she signaled for the Joker to follow her through the house which he did "hard to believe"

"indeed it is" Joker said as they came to a bookcase and Aisha pulled out a book and it slide "impressive"

"I find it wonderful" Aisha said as she walked through the opening followed by Joker and they entered a large room filled with an assortment of weapons "what is your pleasure"

"you of course" Joker said as he pulled Aisha to him "give me a smile" Aisha then let out a smile and he kissed her and then roughly pushed her away "let's see… what do I need"

"how about this" Aisha said and held a rocket launcher in her hands "I know you want it darling"

"ooh I will take it along with one of everything else" Joker said

"Sounds good" Aisha said as she began to pack one of each the various weapons into a bag.

"You're just like me" Joker said "you want to see the city have a better class of criminal"

"I want to see the city burn" Aisha said as she handed the Joker a knife

"a women after my own heart" Joker said then started to laugh.

"do a girl a favor" Aisha said "make the best of them fall, the city needs it, it needs the chaos"

"you know" Joker said as he walked closer to Aisha "it is hard to believe you hide this good, when you are just as corrupt as the rest of us"

"I won't hide forever" Aisha said as she stood up and handed the Joker the large black duffle bag "unlike you sweetheart, I want for the most calm moment"

"good to know sweets" Joker said as he put the bag on his shoulder

"do remember to have fun" Aisha said

"life is fun, when you know how to play it" Joker said.

Aisha rolled over in her bed and looked at her angry red alarm reading 12:05am. She groaned into her pillow and knew her sleep for the night was finished. She sat up and the strap of her night dress slide down her arm and she pulled it back up before putting her feet on the cold floor. Aisha walked over to a charge and pulled on her house coat and began walking out of her room downstairs to the kitchen.

"sneaking into a women's house at night, I should call the police" Aisha said as she turned around and saw Bane standing in her hallway.

"if you think that would help" Bane said

"I doubt it" Aisha said as she continued her way into her kitchen "should I ask why you are in my house at 12:20am Bane"

"you gave an invitation" Bane said "I am simply accepting it"

"and this couldn't have waited till morning" Aisha said with a yawn as she opened her frig and took out an ice tea to drink.

"it didn't seem as you were sleeping" Bane said and Aisha turned to him and noticed that she studied him "something I can help you with"

"not at all" Aisha said as she placed her glass on her counter "well since you are here I have something to show you, which I believe you will find most useful" she then walked through her house and stopped at a door that led to her basement. Aisha put on a pair of shoes and headed down the stairs.

"you are going down there in you night clothes" Bane said

"might as well" Aisha said "I don't feel like changing"

Soon they had both arrived at the bottom of the stairs and Aisha turned on a light and walked to behind the stairs and punched in a code which caused a door to slide open. Aisha walked into the darkness followed by Bane. Soon both of them were walking throught the sewers and came to a dead end where Aisha pushed in a brick and it opened up more.

"impressive" Bane said as he followed Aisha thought the opening.

"can't have strangers getting into my house" Aisha said and soon enough they reached a large opening beneath the sewers. "I think you would rather like this place"

"why is that" Bane said as he looked around and saw a large ceiling and water surrounding them.

"you will get useful toys in there" Aisha said "Batman's toys"

"how are you sure" Bane asked as he stepped closer to Aisha "makes a man wonder"

"I have my ways to find out what I want" Aisha said with a slight smile "I have a question for you"

Bane just looked at Aisha waiting for the question which he was sure he knew already.

"….another time perhaps" Aisha said as she rethought about it. "I am sure you want to get to work as soon as possible"

"yes" Bane said

"so you know" Aisha said "my men will do what you ask if they don't kill them"

"such harsh word coming from their caregiver" Bane said

"they owe me their loyalty" Aisha said "if they don't do as I ask they become disloyal and of no further use, but also I will be helping you as well, I don't let my men do all of the work"

"a women willing to get her hands dirty" Bane said

"my hands are plenty dirty" Aisha said "probably more dirty than yours"

"I doubt that" Bane said
