I do not own anything to do with the Joker, the Dark Knight, DC comics or Gotham City. I do own Casey and Cassie as they are the same person!

This is all fan made! :)

Please READ and REVIEW. NICE reviews though!

The Queen of Clowns

Chapter 8

The wind rustled through Casey's hair as she looked up at the night sky. Her captive was sitting by her side bound and gagged. She was also staring into space, traumatized at what she had just witnessed. Carly could just tell that Casey was getting restless.

"You know, I'd really thought they'd come" admitted Casey, pulling out her blood stained knife. "Ah well, I'll just have to kill you anyway and with out the audience."

"I don't think so Casey" shouted Jim Gordon exploding through the door pointing his gun at her.

"Ah, Tweedle Dumb! But where's Tweedle Dumber?" asked Casey snapping back into her Joker voice.

"Put the knife down Casey" said Batman appearing out of the shadows.

"Batsy! How kind of you to join me and my lovely friend here. Sorry she can't speak, she's a bit tied up at the moment" Casey laughed at her own joke.

"Casey, step away from Carly, put your weapon on the ground and come towards us with your hands up. It doesn't have to be this way. You are not the Joker. If you come with us we can protect you from him. You can have your own life away from Gotham, away from the Joker" reasoned the commissioner.

"What happens if she doesn't want that then?" said the Joker from behind Jim. He ran past the Batman as he made a lunge for him and stood by Casey.

"What are you doing here?" asked Casey rudely

"I thought you'd want a bit of help. Nice work by the way" the Joker said referring to Carly who had silently started crying.

"I don't need your help!" said Casey

"Well I say you do" the Joker stated pressing his knife into her back making her wince in pain. "Now if you, uh, don't mind Commiss-oner I think I'll be taking Casey now"

"I don't think so Joker there's a cell in Arkham with both your names on it" said, well more growled, Batman.

"But that wouldn't be allowed, no inmate at Arkham shares a double cell it's too dangerous." Casey blurted out without thinking as soon as the words were out of her mouth the Joker clapped his hand over it.

"How do you know that Casey?" asked Jim

"Never you mind" replied the Joker taking a step back with Casey in tow who was also dragging Carly.

"Don't go anywhere nearer that edge Joker" warned Batman.

"What are you gonna do about it Batsy?" asked Casey.

CPOV

I wasn't sure what happened next or why Jim Gordon fired his gun but all I know is the defining roar of the gun, the Joker firing a spear gun to the next building and escaping closely followed by the Batman and Casey falling to the floor clutching her side and screaming.

No matter how much I hated her I still ran to her side to comfort her.

Jim Gordon had called for backup and the paramedic that had been standing by and was watching Casey closely to make sure that A) she wasn't faking it and would start to run away and B) the Joker wouldn't come back for her.

I held Casey's blood soaked hand as she burst into hysterics suddenly I noticed that she was trying to tell me something. "What is it? What are you trying to tell me?" I asked soothingly.

"I…I'm… I'm y..Your …Co…Cousin." She spluttered out. I felt tears flowing down my cheeks as I realised who she was.

"It's me it's Cassie" she gasped as I held her tightly.

"But I thought you died" I cried

"I did."

That was the last thing she said to me before she was carted off to Gotham General and to her new cell in Arkham.

So thats the end folks I hope you enjoyed it. All reviewers were great. But don't worry, for those of you that are teetering on the edge of the cliff, there is going to be a, what do you call a third sequel? A trequel? Well you know what I mean.
