Chapter Two: First Encounter

BEEP! BEEP! BEEEEP! ! !- then it stopped abruptly.

My alarm clock lay in a million pieces on my room floor. "That'll teach you to wake me up" I groaned into my pillow.

Pulling myself up I realised, tonight was the night Bruce throws his big fundraiser for Harvey Dent, Gothams DA. "Oh what fun!" I thought sarcastically. After taking a shower, drying my hair and quickly dressing, I rushed downstairs but something caught my attention. "The Jokers rain of chaos continues!!"the TV presenter shouted and began his report on The Jokers latest antics. I watched for once with a growing interest "Now there's a guy who gets the message… Cool purple suit" I thought grinning. Grabbing a cup of coffee I set off for another day of work, oh the joys!

"Ava hurry up!! Were going to be late" My father shouted impatiently.

"I'm coming keep your comb-over on!" I rudely retorted.

I tugged at the dress uncomfortably.

"Man I hate these things" I complained.

I had almost made it down the stairs, that was until…

"ANNIE LOOK OUT!!!" I screamed realising Anarchy was sprawled across the stairs. Leaping over her I landed in a heap on the last stair.

"Now if I was wearing my converse I would have made that" I thought, thinking of my usual Jinx outfit and weapons safely hidden away.

"For goodness sake, stop acting like a child, come on and oh! Ava try not to disappoint us too much tonight as hard as that is for you" Father spoke mockingly.

"Yes daddy" I replied sarcastically. Goodness I'm doing that a lot today.

In raw frustration, I followed them out of the house muttering intelligible and incoherent curses as I did so.

***

Great party, rich people, my boyfriend, everything going great... Oh how I hate it! Upon entering Bruce's overly expensive apartment, I grabbed the nearest glass of champagne I could and drank it in one shot. "Darling...Please don't drink too much and make a scene like last time" Mother whispered.

She sniffed, pursing her lips in distaste at me.

"Oh ok" I replied grabbing another glass.

Small talk doesn't appeal to me much, so it only seem palpable that I found myself alone on the balcony staring out at Gotham, glittering in the darkness.

Suddenly a loud gun shot could be heard from inside. "what the fuck" I mumbled.

Rushing inside a wide grin spread across my face.

"Ladies... and Gentlemen, we are tonight's entertainment!" The Joker announced.

Pushing through the crowd I watched as the Joker said "And we have one question… where is Harvey Dent?"

Glancing around a thought came to me "where is Dent anyway? it's his party"

"Do you know where he is?"

"Do you know where I can find Harvey? I need to talk to him about something, just something little. Huh?"

"No…"

I watched as he pointed the gun at random people and asked where Harvey Dent was. " Finally something interesting happens" I thought.

The Joker approached an old man and said "You know, I'll settle for his loved ones"

"Were not intimidated by thugs" the old man declared boldly.

"Oh you'll regret that" I thought, giggling to myself.

"You know you remind me of my father" The Joker said.

He grabbed the old man roughly by the neck and held a knife to his mouth

"I hated my father" He hissed

"Ok stop!" Someone shouted.

It was Rachel, Harvey's girlfriend, I watched as the Joker told her how he got his scars and I watched as she kicked in him the balls. A smirk spread across my lips. It was difficult not to admire her courage despite my blatant dislike for Rachel.

"A little fight in ya I like that" He said

"Then your going to love me"

Just like that he appeared. As if from nowhere within a single split second blink, the Batman showed up.

"Whoa this is getting very interesting" I thought with a small chuckle.

With one punch Batman knocked The Joker to the floor but he got back up quickly and a fight ensued with him, his henchmen and Batman. Breaking away from the fight, The Joker grabbed Rachel and shot a hole through Bruce's glass window, that would be expensive to have fixed. "Speaking of the little butterball, where is he? Harvey and Bruce missing...One could begin to wonder" I thought unable to stifle a laugh any longer.

"Let her go" Batman snarled

The Joker laughed for the first time, it was a laugh I will never forget, it sent shivers through my soul and in those seconds made me afraid of everything, aware of everything and very much, vulnerable. "Very poor choice of words" He said before throwing Rachel from the building.

"Three... Two... One...He's off" I recovered leaning over a bit to see Batman jump from the building in order to save his little damsel in distress.

Upon entering the room again, the crowd went silent; The Joker scanned the room and said with a smirk "Why so serious?"

"Oh shit" I thought, but I couldn't hold it in any longer, I burst into a bout of hysterical laughter. The Joker turned, his dark forbidding eyes scanned the room for the culprit. He spotted me, slowly he began making his way over to me. "Crud" I thought mentally slapping myself, still laughing like a loon.

"What's so funny?" He inquired menacingly

"Nothing, its just....Ha-ha I've been asking my parents the same question for years" I spluttered tears running down my face from laughing. The crowd gasped. Who could blame them, talking like that about my parents, well actually talking about them to The Joker. He stared at me, the expression on his face was clear; 'to kill her or no to kill her that is the question.'

"There's something about you that I can't work out. Something not right, But I will find out what, and when I do, I shall enjoy killing you" The Joker snarled

A smirk pulled his scarred lips upward.

"Until then" I muttered watching The Joker make his escape through the large doors from which they came.
