The wait is finally over sorry it took so long to update. I had to work on finals but now I have all the time in the world so hooray updates. Things might get a little violent in this chapter but it should still be pretty T.

Batman made it back to MCU in record time. He was trying his best not to think of what might have or could be happening to Emma. Of course Charlie and Gordon where already waiting for him.

"I'm going to try and look for them. It's all we can do at the moment." Said Batman making his presence know.

Gordon seemed to be sort of squinting at him as though trying to see the resemblance. Charlie on the other hand looked worried.

"Do you think you will find her?" Said Charlie.

"I don't know." Said Bruce speaking the truth. He did not know if he would find her but he had to do something, he had to keep trying even if it took all night.

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Asked Charlie.

"No you just keep doing your jobs." Said Batman looking over at Gordon who was still squinting at him. "For Christ sake Gordon it really is me." Said Bruce in his normal voice.

"Yes, well it will take some getting used to." Said Gordon. As Batman made to leave he was on the edge of the roof when he jumped gliding down to the ground below.

"Do you think he will find her?" asked Charlie.

"I don't know but he has the best shot at it." Said Gordon.

"Do you think you can handle things here, I wanted to go and visit Misty at the hospital, she has concussion but other than that she was fine. I'm going to see if she might be able to identify the attacker."

"Alright, good luck Charlie." Said Gordon with a look of worry. All of them carried about Emma and all of them were hoping she is alright.

Charlie had gone to the hospital only to find out that visiting hours ended at 6 he was half an hour late. Luckily the nurse was kind enough to bend the rules just this once, seeing as Misty would be released in the morning.

"Can you bloody believe it!? I was taken out by a gallon of orange juice. How's Emma?" said Misty was sitting up in her bed flipping through channels on the hospital tv. The women in the bed next to her let out a groan. "Oh quiet your whinning Anna, I'll be gone in the morning." Said Misty rolling her eyes.

"She's gone Misty. She was kidnapped and we don't know where she is."

"Weird wonder why they didn't kidnap me. Bit of a slap in the face really. What I'm note kidnappable?"

"Is that even a word?"

"It is now."

"You would have wanted to be kidnapped?"

"No but why leave a witness you know. Makes me think the attacker must have known Emma."

"We think it was Todd. He's working for the Joker though. Who knows what that madman might do to her?"

"Yeah…" Said Misty looking thoughtful. She had stopped flipping channels leaving it on a news feed of information on the Joker and how people of Gotham should stay away from him.

"What?"

"I don't know it could be the meds talking but, he really reminds me of Jack, just some of his mannerisms." Said Misty pointing up at the screen Charlie was about to reply when the nurse came in telling him he would have to leave otherwise she might get in trouble.

Emma was in disbelief. She couldn't believe she had been kidnapped by her ex fiancé who turned out to be in the mafia only to be handed over to The Joker who turned out to be Jack Napier her high school sweetheart. She was being too seriously wonder about her taste in men, seeing as she had left her mobster fiancé for a billionaire who turned out to be Batman.

Jack…no The Joker had left her a few minutes or hours ago she wasn't really sure. It was as though he had wanted the revelation she had come to, to really sink in. It was strange to her because behind the sinister look in his eyes it she though she almost saw a hint of fear. She couldn't quite figure out why she saw that maybe she was just imaging it. The heard the door open and someone enter the room but she didn't want to see who it was and chose to look at the floor instead. However the dress shoes and purple slacks were a bit of a giveaway.

"Here" He said shoving a wrapped up pop tart into her hand and pulling a chair up to sit in front of her.

"What the hell am I doing here? What use am I too you, it's not like I'm here so we can catch up or something." She said getting rather tired of the fact that she was still tied to a chair and she couldn't even reach the food he had just given her because it was behind her back with her hands.

"I'm not real-ly sure." He said with a shrug. "I'm not much of a plan-ner."

"Of course not why would you need to be you always were rather bright." Said Emma looking up at him, maybe if she could get a hold of Jack he might let her go.

"Yup. Bright enough to know what you're trying to do." He said in a condescending tone. "Sor-ry beautiful but I'm a changed man and there's no going back."

"I don't know what happened to you Jack, and I'm sorry for whatever the world had done to you." She said, she meant it too she really felt sorry for him.

His usually eerily cheery demeanor quickly changed. "I DON"T WANT YOU PITY!" he said a harsh growl to his voice. It caused her to flinch and look away.

"Ah tata ta, don't you look aw-ay." He said roughing grabbing her face so that she was forced to look at him and see the anger in his eyes that was replaced with an evil glint that mirror the glint of the knife he had just pulled out of his sleeve. "Bet, you're ah wondering how I got these's sca-rs?"

"Please don't." said Emma not really sure what he was going to do but she was sure whatever it was would not be good.

"What you think I'm going to hurt you? No silly I real-ly should actually be thanking you." He said with a laugh. "You may have not given me these." He said gesturing to his scars. "But, you always told me I could do s-o much mor-re with my life."

"I don't think you understood me then."

He just laughed some more. That eerie haunting laugh of his. "No, it's you who don't understand, but you will. Sit in a room long enough and you start to go a little looney…"

"Boss." Said a voice Emma did not recognize. The joker did not look to happy about being interrupted.

"What? Can't you see I'm a little busy here." He said turning towards the door.

"You said you wanted to go to that news station, make a statement tonight." Said the man who was speaking. He looked slightly like Todd so Emma assumed this was Mario Viti.

"Right, we'll just have to finish our little chat about insanity at a later time, I guess, won't we Emma." He said with a leering smile and a cackling laugh. And with that being said he and Mario left the room and soon after grabbing the necessary equipment they were gone from the warehouse.

Alberto say this as he opportune moment. He would make that bitch pay for dumping him like that…

Batman was getting frustrated he had been looking everywhere trying to find some sign of Emma but still nothing. He knew the more time he wasted the more danger she could be in, time was important. However he had no clue where she could been. He heard the sound of an alarm going off in a nearby building, perhaps he would get lucky.

He went closer to the building noticing it was a television studio. And then he heard to people talking.

"Someone will have heard that." Said Mario

"That's the po-int Mario." Said a drawling voice that Batman knew all to well.

"We're is she." Said Batman after he jumped down and landed right behind them.

"Ah Batsy come to join the par-ty have you?" Said The Joker with a laugh licking his lips.

"Shit man, I'm getting the hell out of here." Said Mario making a run for it. Batman would have stopped him but he had more important matter to deal with. However in the one second he spent considering stopping him the Joker used this to gain an advantage punching him in the gut. It knocked the wind out of him causing his to double over. In that time the Joker had pulled out a knife but when he tried to use it Batman grabbed his wrist twisting it to make him drop the knife.

The Joker was a walking armory that knife wasn't the only one he had on his person and Batman knew that so he was ready when the Joker tired again with a different weapon. The fight went on for some time until finally Batman gained the upper hand holding the clown but the collar of his suit he asked again.

"Emma Carpenter where is she?"

"Remind me again why I should ah tell you?"

"I said where is she!" said Batman slamming the Joker into a wall. The Joker just laughed at the pain. Cop car sirens could be heard in the background and the cops would be here any minute.

"Look, I'm not going to te-ll you and soon the boys in blue over there they are gonna be here to ar-rest me. Then they take me to MCU, they question me, you question me, but you see, that takes ah a lot of t-ime. T-ime you don't want to waste, cause Em-ma Carpent-er is alone, with Talberto and who know's what sort of crazy ideas he's got for her."

"What are you trying to say?" Said Batman losing his patients as the cars drew near.

"You ah let me go, and I'll make sure no more physical harm comes to her. The more t-ime you waste here the more time Alberto has with her. And I highly doubt billionaire Brucey wants damaged goods." Said the Joker with a leering smirk.

Batman clenched his fist for a moment before slamming the Joker into the wall again and letting go of his purple suit.

"If something happens to her I swear…"

"Don't worry Batsy I'm a man of my word." Said The Joker with a laugh before slinking down one of the alleyway.

"What the hell I saw you had him then you let him walk away!" said Gordon running over to where Batman stood after sending some of the other cops to search the area.

"Emma's alone with Alberto I had to. He's going to make sure nothing happens to her." Pulling out what looked like and Iphone and pushing some buttons on it.

"You trust that lunatic!" Said Gordon angrily.

"I trust that he's going to lead us right to his hideout." He said showing Gordon what was on the phone. It looked like a map with a little green dot on it that was moving. "GPS tracker, I put it on him while we were fighting, I thought he might get away this time I wanted to know where."

"What if he notices it's on him?"

"You ever have and itch on your back you just can't quite reach? That's where I put the tracker it really small though he probably won't notice it."

"I certainly hope not."

"I'm going to start following this signal, I haven't tested it yet I don't know how strong it is." Said Batman before disappearing. He just hoped beyond hope that he would find Emma and she would be alright.

Emma thought she had felt one of her ribs crack during that last kick. Now she lay on the ground coughing and gasping for breath. She tasted the coppery taste of blood. Well at least she was on longer tired to a chair. She thought to herself.

Todd or rather Alberto had taken this opportunity to beat her while The Joker was gone. She had tried to fight back at first but now one of her eyes was swollen and she could hardly see, not to mention when she tried to hit him he had broken her wrist. Being a member of the mob he knew how to fight, she didn't and that was apparent. He kicked her again as she lay on the ground.

"No one makes a fool out of me, you stupid cheating whore!" He shouted at her. The last kick had defiantly broken a rib and Emma felt her vision fade for a second and yet despite the pain she couldn't help but find this whole situation to be completely ridiculous.

And then she laughed even though it made her ribs hurt like hell and once she started she couldn't stop it was like everything that happened to her in a past few months was all one big sick joke and now she was finally getting it.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He said looking at her like she was crazy.

"I was just thinking…that out of all the men I've ever dated…Bruce is by far a better man than all of you!"She said wincing in pain.

"Oh you want something to laugh about do you?" He said getting on top of her. She felt and hand reaching for her pants trying to pull them down. She struggled in an attempt to fend him off but to no avail. And she was suddenly feeling very sick at the thought of what was about to happen. However it never came, the hand at her pants stopped it's efforts and Alberto let out scream of pain and he was thrown off her and then silence. It all happened so fast and Emma could hardly see but she saw the blood pulling from Alberto's body and heard someone say "Like I said, you ah cer-tainly have a way of turning men into mon-sters."

"No I don't…" She said weakly not bothering to get up. The pain was too great.

"Thought I heard you laughing a moment ago? Is someone starting to see the world my way?" He said cocking his head to the side as he looked at her as though in a new light.

"No, no, I'm not…"

"Oh come on now Em, just give in. Learn to embrace it not fight it. Oh no I know what's holding you back, you think they're going to rescue you don't you?" He said with a laugh. "I just won-der if you're ah new boyfriend is still going to want you after all this."

"He will, he loves me, I love him." Said Emma weakly she felt herself losing consciousness from the pain.

"Aw but beautiful you and I shared some-thing special, you gave me something you can't give to anyone else." He said with a laugh. He looked deep in thought for a moment. "Wonder if he'll want you if he finds out I popped you cherry? Might even be repulsed, and then what will you do Emma, what will you do when you're just a freak like me?" He said with more laughter.

Emma felt her face grow pale at the thought. What would Bruce think when he found out he had dated he enemy? Would he still feel the same was about her? Emma didn't have much time to dwell on these thoughts because the world around her was slowly slipping away. Her body had finally decided to the pain was too great and she was slipping into darkness. The last thing she remembered was a lot of commotion.

Batman, Gordon and some members of the MCU department stored the building. The strange thing was there where no guards. The only person in warehouse besides Emma and the Joker was Alberto's dead body forever grinning up at the ceiling. When Batman noticed the Joker kneeling next to a bruised a bloody Emma something inside him snapped and he attacked with such force that for The Joker's safety three police officers had to hold him back to keep him from beating the clown to death.

Oh course the Joker just laughed the whole time, his annoying laugh. Gordon took care of bringing him back to Arkham as well as arranged an ambulance for Emma. Charlie arrived right when they were loading her into the vehicle. He looked up at the nearby fire escape and notice Batman was standing on it looking down at the scene on the street below.

Charlie climbed up the latter to stand up there with him. "Will you go with her to the hospital?" Batman asked him when he was close enough to hear him.

"Sure, I'll make sure she's safe." Said Charlie knowing it was killing the man next to him that he could not be there for Emma at a time like this.

"Thank you. I'll meet you there as soon as I can."

"She'll be fine." Said Charlie reassuringly.

Batman said nodding in the direction of the Joker being loaded into an armored van "For his sake he better hope so. I almost broke my one rule."

"Which is?"

"That no one is beyond saving. I was ready to kill him and by doing so I would have taken his potential to prove that."

"Do you know what happened to her?" Asked Charlie changing the subject.

"No, nor am I sure I want to. All that matters is that she is safe now. I can't imagine what she's been through in the past couple of hours."

"Well I better get going before the ambulance leaves." Said Charlie climbing back down the stairs and heading over to the ambulance. When he got inside he noticed he sat down beside Emma's stretcher.

"You're going to be okay Em." He said not even sure it she could hear him.

For some reason his voice caused her to jolt awake. She looked slightly panicked as she said "It's Jack…"

"What?" Said Charlie confused.

"He's the…Joker." She said before passing out again.

"Wait Em, what do you mean?" Said Charlie hoping to wake her again.

"It's probably the trauma talking. I wouldn't think too much about it." Said one of the paramedics

Well there you have it another chapter. Hope you enjoyed it and it didn't jump around too much. The action scenes are not the best but I don't like writing them much so sorry for that. Also don't forget to review please!
