A/N: Here's part 2 of my AU. Please leave any comments or criticisms.
Red Hood entered the amusement park swiftly, a shadow. He peeked around the corner of a building, watching for movement. However, everything was quiet.
He stepped out from the shadows, approaching the House of Mirrors with caution.
"This was our first date, remember?"
He whirled around to face the Ferris Wheel, aiming his gun at the bat perched there. Batgirl grinned slyly, swinging down with ease and striding towards him. "Put it away, Jester; we both know you prefer knives."
"And we both know you prefer books." Jester sheathed the gun. "So what brings you to this dump?"
"Same as you. It's a false lead; I've already scouted the perimeter. There's no one here."
"In that caseā¦" Jester removed the helmet, slicking his hair back. "Wow, that thing is hot."
"Thanks, but I already have a boyfriend," she smirked.
"Who, Nightweenie? I bet he never takes you to great places like this."
"He also doesn't set the ring toss on fire."
"Hey, that attendant was cheating me out of a magnificent toy trumpet."
She chuckled, and then asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in Gotham's drug cartel?"
Jester shrugged. "Why not? It's not like I'm out saving the world like your team."
"Maybe you should be."
He groaned. "Don't start that again, Babs. You know I have a problem with rules."
"Fine. At least tell me what's with the helmet?"
He grinned and tossed it into the air. "I found it in my Dad's sock drawer, along with a water bottle filled with nitroglycerin. "
Batgirl sighed, glancing at the holoscreen in her watch. "I should get going. I've got patrol and junk."
"Take care." Jester rocked back on his heels as she trotted off. When she was gone, he glanced at the House of Mirrors. Donning the red helmet, he prowled through the abandoned building. He paused at a reflection of himself, turning around to face the door he just spotted in the reflection.
Red Hood opened the door quietly, peering down into the dark staircase. He smirked. "False lead, my ass."
He picked his way down the stairs, pulling out a flashlight. Red Hood stepped out into an open concrete garage. To his surprise, it was empty, and there were no other doors leading out.
Then the beeping started.
Jester turned, sprinting as fast as he could. Just as he reached the top of the stairs, the explosion shattered the mirrors. Fire raged through the building.
Batgirl paused, turning. Her face went white as she spotted the smoking husk of the building in the distance.
