Annie stared out of her bedroom window unable to shake away the memories of the night her dad and brother died Why did I survive? She asked herself dad and Daniel weren't that far behind me. . . were they?" She leant against the cold glass unaware of anything but the past.
"A penny for your thoughts" asked a sweet almost tuneful voice, Annie turned and saw Aceie leaning against the doorframe smiling.
"What do you want? How'd you get in? What have you done with Tia?" Aceie chuckled "She's safe, for now, my boys are keeping her company" She waled across the room her gloved hand tracing patterns on the wall as she went "How did i get in? A magician never reveals her secrets" She stopped an arm's length from Annie "What do I want? I want to show Gotham that it can't control the world, that chaos is a fact of life" Annie glared as she sat down on the bed "But right now? I want to talk"
"Well i don't want to talk to a murderess" Aceie smiled at this and continued talking
"We're alike you and I, in many ways loved ones murdered . . ."
"By you!" Annie snarled, Aceie frowned, the corner of her mouth twitched but she kept talking calmly " . . . working hard to please dead men . . . both scared" Annie looked away from her as she stroked her scarred cheek, almost fondly "What's your point?"
"Why should two ends of the same card work against each other?"
Annie retorted "Because you're evil and a killer" Aceie shook her head "I'm not evil . . . no i'm not, I just chose to act on the side everyone else denys . . . Don't tell me 'Detective' that you've never hated someone enough to want to kill them" Annie looked at Aceie pointedly
"Only one"
"Ah" Aceie looked at Annie and something, Annie couldn't identify it, danced dangerously in her green eyes.

"I wonder if you could?"
Aceie drew a gun from her pocket and threw it at Annie's feet. She picked it up.
"Could you kill me? Right here right now? I wont stop you" Aceie stood up and held out her arms giving annie an easy shot of her heart
"Give me your best shot" Annie aimed the gun
"Go on I dare you"
Her finger found the trigger
"You're never the same after your first kill" A gunshot spilt the air.

Aceie clutched her shoulder and laughed "Well done . . . Not that different are we?" She skillfully flicked a card at Annie "Think about it" She left as silently as she had arrived. Annie heard her skip across the flat and slam the door.
Annie stared at the gun angrily Why couldn't I do it? She threw the gun away in disgust So weak! She deserves to die. Why couldn't I do it?
