~The Phoenix, Lindsey Stirling - Brave Enough~
Zara stands up from the bed and runs a hand through her dry, rough blonde hair. She walks over to the cell, and her hands warm up the cold cell bars. Later, a cop had unlocked the cell door to lead her to her interrogation time with Commissioner Gordon. She sits on one of the chairs as he sits in the opposite. He was carrying her file, and two cups of coffee and slides her one of the cups. "Now Ms. Ace, I have good news for you. Apparently, you've been bailed out by an anonymous stranger." He said, and Zara planting a confused look on her face. "Also, we're going to escort you back to your foster home." He said laying the file on the table between them. "What no! They kicked me out of there in the first place! They'll never want me back!" She states. "I'm sorry Ms. Ace, but we can't keep you here-" he was then cut off by a big shaky thud that rambled the ground below them. "What was that?" She asked quickly. Feeling her heart racing. Suddenly, a cop had barged into the room. "Sir! There has been a car that crashed into the lower half of the building! We have to evacuate now!" He yells in panic.
Zara felt the adrenaline kick into her as he heard the news. "Let me open the fire exits from the next room! Follow me!" He said as he rushed out the door. Secretly, Zara had snatched her file and hid it inside her leather jacket while he being told the news. She ran outside the room, following him outside the police department. He quickly went back inside to see if there are anymore people in there. Suddenly a big and buff figure appeared to run inside. Zara watched as she saw Batman help people out of the building. Zara took a quick glance and bolted out of the scene. Getting away with her file.
She stopped after a few blocks away and turns to a dark alleyway and leans on the wall to catch her breath. Then, she hears from the deep, dark corner a series of footsteps and voices. She looks over and sees something she wouldn't have thought to stumble upon. The Joker and Harley Quinn torturing someone. "Didn't you just hear what I said?" The Joker said holding the tip of the blade close to his eye. "Yeah Puddin'! Let's make him scream-" said Harley as she turned around happily and caught Zara witnessing what they were doing. She turned back to whisper something in his ear, then pointed at her. They both whispered something at each other as they killed the main they were torturing on the spot. Zara cannot believe we eyes as her heart felt like it was gonna burst out her chest and her hands start to sweat and adrenaline flooding her feet to run.
She realized they were approaching her and she ran away and back to the police department. She heard their footsteps following her, as she ran into the streets. Suddenly she felt something grab her from the waist and drag her away, getting the wind knocked out of her. "LET ME GO!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. The Joker's gloved hand covered her mouth as she kept screaming. He then slammed her down on the hood of a car and grabbed her neck. "What were you doing there little girl?" He asked as he pulled out a knife and pressed it on her cheek. "Yeah little girl what were you do-" Harley Quinn stopped and bent down to pick something up. The file. The file had fell out of Zara's leather jacket.
Panic fills Zara's mind as tears start to form in her eyes in fear. Zara saw Harley open the file and as she read, her eyes widened. "Uh oh. Um J', you gotta see this." She said tapping his shoulder. She turns around with the grip on Zara's neck get stronger. She sees the pair read over the words o he white paper. After they finish, Harley closes the file and gives her best cherry smile towards Zara. The Joker looks back at her; tears stream down her cheeks as she tries to blind away more tears from falling down her face. "Your lucky kid. Your lucky i'm not gonna kill ya." He said as he lifted her off the car hood and Harley bashed her mallet in the back of Zara's head. Knocking her unconscious.
