Here's a little background on Ace;

Ace's real name is Georgia Sparrow, she is the same age as Ava, and the two have known each other since they were little kids. Ace has short black hair, dark eyes and pale skin. There best friends but Ava never told Ace about her time in Arkham or that she was Jinx. Ace is slightly crazy and admires Jinx's work.

Now that she knows her best friend is Jinx, she has joined the team but has yet to receive a new identity. She doesn't really know the risk she is taking and what she is leaving behind but she doesn't care as long as she is with her best friend Ava.

----------------

Hostage one, my dad, West of Gotham, old toy factory.

Hostage two, my mom, East of Gotham, large Joke shop.

Hostage three, reporter guy, South of Gotham, chemical factory.

Tick tock. Tick tock.

Time was running out.

Not long until they all go BOOM!

I drove Ace back to the Joker's hideout. Whilst he and his men went and set the bombs and hostages in place.

"Ava, will you make me look like you? please oh please oh please" she begged.

I laughed at her and nodded before pulling her into my room and sitting her down at the desk. Before her was a large mirror, Ace looked at her reflection in the mirror and then at me, watching as I went over and pulled a huge makeup kit out from under the bed.

"Whoa Ava where did you get that?" She asks in astonishment.

"Stole it off Harley "I absentmindedly muttered throwing the heavy kit onto the desk.

Ace jumped a little. "Nervous?" I asked

"Yeah, but I'm excited too" she squealed

"Don't be nervous Ace; I was nervous when I first started working for him. But its cool, just watch out. He's slightly bi-polar ha-ha" I laughed.

---------

First I dyed Ace's hair bright pink, then I applied white make-up to her face, pink eyeshadow,black eyeliner and pink lipstick. Then I painted a little spade onto her left cheek and painted her nails pink."Ok Ace come and pick what you want to wear" I said,

She got up and skipped over to the closet.

" Wow Ava your close are so cool" She gasped admiring all of the customized clothes.

"Thanks, I made most of them" I said shyly

Ace picked out a pink corset and ballerina skirt "You really love pink don't you?" I said laughing as she put on her new outfit and threw on some pink pumps.

" Yup. Ooooh Ava thank you, I look so rad" She exclaimed happily hugging me tightly.

"No problem, come on pick your choice of weapon. My personal favourite is my trusty switchblade" I replied

As she searched through the closet for a weapon. Anarchy crawled out from under the covers of the bed. She meow sleepily.

"Hey girl. Remember Ace?" You said picking Anarchy up and bring her over to Ace.

Anarchy meow happily as Ace pulled out a large gun." Whoa come to momma" She cheered hugging the gun.

"Anarchy, I haven't seen you in ages" She squealed noticing Anarchy, she stroked her fur lovingly before jumping onto my bed still staring in awe at the gun in her hands. I sat next to her and asked "have you ever killed anyone before?"

She dropped her smile and shook her head "It's ok Ace, the fist few times you might feel bad but in time, another kill is well. Another kill"

She smiled again and spoke " Thanks Ava I wont let you down. So I take there are a few things you have been keeping from me. Spill."

I sighed and began to tell her everything from Jinx., Dr. Crane, the murder of my little brother. I told her everything even about my kisses with The Joker.

She listened intently, gasping and nodding every so often in shock and amazement. There was a short silence when I had finished, but it was soon broken by Ace saying " Ava, I never knew. I'm so sorry, if you would have only told me, I might have been able to help you"

I smiled at my best friend and gave her a one armed hug, the other arm still stroking Anarchy who was curled up on the bed playing with a lose bit of string.

" I would have told you Ace, but I was afraid of how you would react, seriously how many people say to there best friend ' oh by the way, I'm a mass murderer working with the Joker, oh and also I hear voices in my head' you know Ace? It's crazy"

Ace nodded understanding but then a big grin grazed her lips " So you and The Joker huh?"

"What are you talking about?" I asked

"Oh don't come with that Ava, you both clearly like each other" She said nudging me suggestively.

I rolled my eyes at her a small smile playing on my lips.

"Ace, listen to yourself. He is a psychopath, sociopath, paranoid, murdering whatever he is! And I'm...I'm just crazy me"

"Then your perfect for each other" She said throwing her arms in the air.

"You're making no sense" I groaned

"I don't have to make sense to you, you're my best friend" She said childishly.

Suddenly the room door open and in walk Harley.

"Hi Harley, listen I'm sorry about earlier, I was just extremely pissed off" I said sincerely...well half sincerely.

She sighed "Its ok. Who's that?" Harley asked

I motioned for her to come and sit. She did so and I told her everything that had happened and that Ace was now working for The Joker.

Whilst I all talked, Harley, Ace and myself all bonded more even though could tell Harley still didn't like me much.

Soon Harley left, leaving me and Ace alone to talk.

"Want to play truth or dare?" Ace asked randomly

"Ok aren't we a little old for this game?" I said

"Nah, you're never too old for this game. Now truth or dare?" She asked

"Truth" I smirked

"Do you like the Joker?" She asked

"I could have guessed that one was coming...well...I… ugh… Kind of." I said blushing like a teenager.

"Awww Ava has a crush on-"

"Eat pillow!" I yelled before shoving a pillow into her mouth. I nearly rolled off the bed laughing at the priceless look on her face. She spat the pillow out and glared at me, a smile playing on her pink lips."Truth or dare?" I asked

"Dare!" She replied challengingly

"Hmm...You have to make out with Harley" I said smirking evilly

"Easy" Ace stated before jumping off the bed and running out of the room.

After a few moments I heard Harley scream " What are you doing?!?!" then Ace came back in and sat beside me on the bed a big smirk on her face.

"Piece of cake" She boasted

-----

"Truth or dare?" Ace asked

"Dare" I replied

She thought for a moment before replying " I dare you dance seductively using that chair"

"Oh come on Ace, you know I can't dance...not like that anyway" I whined

"Go on, dance for me slave" She mocked shoving me of the bed

.

I stuck my tongue out at her before grabbing the chair and turning on my stereo. Pussycat dolls-beep began. "Oh my stars. How cliché? All I need now is an audience." I laughed.

"Just dance clown girl" Ace commanded laughing as I began swaying my hips.

---------

I threw the chair to the other side of the room, did a flip and struck a pose, my arm high in the air, the other by my side. I panted, clearly out of breath.

Suddenly I heard clapping from the door. My heart nearly stopped beating when I saw The Joker and five of his henchmen standing at the door! They were clapping and whistling. My jaw dropped.

" Please tell me you guys weren't watching that" I begged

"Afraid so Jinxy" The Joker sneered.

" This is all so cliché" I muttered

"That was hot!" One of his men shouted.

I glared at them all and marched over to my bed, pick up Ace's gun and aimed it at them " You have five seconds to leave unless you would like you brains to be added to the paint on my wall" I threatened.

The Joker and his men left still laughing.

I turned to Ace pointing the gun at her "If you weren't my best friend you would be so dead right now" I snarled

"Awww Jinx's embarrassed" Ace teased.

The Joker came abruptly back into the room and ordered "Come on. I figured since there your parents and that guy was doing a report about you, you could do the honours of blowing them up"

Myself and Ace followed him silently out of the room. We entered the main part of the warehouse where I found there was a new TV. The one I broke was lying in a pathetic heap in the corner. One of the Joker henchmen handed me the detonator and slowly I reached down and pressed it.

A distant explosion could be heard.

It was done.

"Quick turn on the news! "

Ace turned on the news and the image before me made a smile form on my painted lips.

Three separate images of burning buildings.

One body was being dragged out of a burning building by The Batman.

The news lady rushed to the scene and asked the paramedic "What's the verdict?"

"He's still alive. Barely. But he has been covered in many chemicals. Were unsure of how…mentally…stable he will be when he recovers" The doctor told the news lady.

" Ladies and Gentlmen,our very own Jack Rider is still alive.I'm sorry to say the other two weren't so lucky. Rest assured Gotham,The Joker and Jinx will be brought to justice until then I wish Jack Rider a speedy recovery. Goodnight and god bless Gotham"

Sorrow rushed through me, I hated my parents but still they raised me. Ha-ha! And look how I turned out.

The sorrow quickly left and was replaced with happiness.

Nothing could go wrong now because well... everything was already fucked up.

I jumped up and down happily clapping my hands.

Life was a joke, my dear sweet dead parents never understood that but now they reseaved the ultimate punch line. Death.
