Rachel paced her apartment thinking in circles over what she should do. She knew that the Joker had been planning on using her to get to Bruce, but she had had a feeling that he was really going after Harvey. After all, no one can just switch targets that fast especially as Batman was the obvious target all along and still he had wanted Harvey assassinated before Batman. But now she had confirmation. He had let it slip to her that Harvey was the real target, though she did not know more than that. For all she knew, they could both be on his hit list, and knowing that they both were attracted to her, he might try and take them out at the same time. She had to tell them, to warn them, but his threat held her back. He said that if she were to tell anyone, Harvey would suffer an even worse fate and she could not do that. She would rather have him killed quickly than suffer a slow painful one because of her. Then again, he had not known if she had told prior to their meeting. Who says he has to know now? On the flip side though, being in her apartment gave him the opportunity to bug her place, and if he could freely walk in here, he might have managed a way to wire her office too.

She had to tell them though, but no were seemed free. If it was a public place, the trailer would have be able to listen in. Wayne Manor was an option, but it would seem strange for her to go there to talk to Harvey and if Batman knew too much, then the Joker would know Batman's identity. Then again, she could call him, call Batman that is, and ask him to meet here somewhere... like Harvey's and then nothing would be blown. Would Harvey's be a safe place though? No, it would be too predictable. Besides, breaking in there would be easy. Harvey lived in his office nowadays. She stopped and hope flooded her features. Harvey's office! There was no way the Joker could have gotten in there. Plus, it was neutral grounds that Batman could easily access without anyone giving it a second thought. She ran and grabbed her phone. First she called Harvey. It would be best to have a time set with him considering he was providing the location.

"Hello?" his voice came on.

"Harvey, are you busy?" she asked quickly. The sooner this was done the better.

"No more than usual. Why is everything all right?" he worried. She sighed in relief. That meant he was just doing paperwork and reading files.

"Yeah, could I stop my in, say, half an hour?"

"Sure, of course, but wh-" She hung up. It was probably rude and at the moment he would be staring at the receiver aghast at such behavior, but she needed to get this done quickly before anyone could interfere. She dialed Bruce's cell number and waited for him to pick up.

"Rachel, what's up?" he answered.

"I need you to meet me at Harvey's office in half an hour, suited up. I need to meet with Batman," she told him.

"What's going on Rachel?" he asked, his voice switching to the more strained sound he used when he was in disguise. Clearly, he got the message.

"Nothing right now, but I don't know for how much long that will be. Please, don't be late."

"Alright, I'll be there. Be careful Rach," he warned her and hung up. She ended the call and went about getting ready.

The Joker gave a happy squeal and clapped his hands together. Rachel had taken the bait! He had lured her into a false sense of security and now she was setting herself up for the guilt trip of her life. What more, she knew he was listening, or a part of her did, and she still wanted to act. This pretty thing would have a break down to rival lover boy's after he was through with her!

A strange noise came over the radio and he turned the volume up trying to figure out what it was when Rachel's cheese-grater singing burst through. He hastily turned the volume down and glared at the wall. Great, she liked to sing in the shower. At least he would not make that mistake again. You would have thought that she would have learned after yesterday's little incident. Clearly, this woman was too confident for her own good. He did not like this; his toys were not allowed to be nearly as self-assured as he was of himself. He spun in his swivel chair and stared up at the ceiling. The next thirty minutes would be so boring! Nothing interesting was going on with Rachel and his thugs were out recruiting. His plan was big and he regrettably needed more than five people to pull it off. Huh, this was exciting.

"So what's this about?" Bruce asked for the two of them.

"You sounded worried on the phone," Harvey added. Rachel swallowed as her mouth ran dry. Suddenly she was wondering if this was the best idea. What if this is what he had been planning and she had just condemned all three of them to death? Oh that was ridiculous! There was no way he could have known what she would do. It's not like he could see the future or anything.

"Uh, when I told Gordon that I didn't know what the Joker was planning, that wasn't entirely true," she admitted. "I don't know any specifics, but I do know his intended targets, or I think I do." She stopped and took a deep breath, not sure how to tell them. "Originally, he was only going after you, Batman, or that's what he told me. He had figured out what was going on between us and was hoping to use that to lure you to him. However, everyone knew he wanted you dead Harvey, and I could not imagine that he would just give you up that quickly. Call it intuition or whatever you want, but I knew you had a part to play in this. Last night, he confirmed it. Both of your lives may be in danger," she told them solemnly.

"What do you mean, he told you last night?" Bruce asked confused.

"He broke into my apartment to make sure I hadn't told you before, then to warn me that Harvey's fate would be worse if I did tell. I just could not sit there and do nothing. Are you all right with that?" she asked her fiance, considering it was his life she might have just made worse. He smiled lightly and her and took her hand, earning a small growl from Bruce.

"Of course, this gives us something to work off of now and when this thing happens, it will help us think more rationally and improve our chances of survival," he assured her. Bruce nodded in agreement.

"You did the right thing," he reiterated. "I'll let Gordon know and we can height security for you two." He stood to leave, obviously uncomfortable being around them now. Rachel felt a sharp tug in heart knowing this was so painful for him..

"Listen," she stopped him. "When it happens, promise me you'll think objectively about it. Don't do anything rash," she pleaded with him. Harvey gave a half laugh, probably finding it funny that she would be warning Batman of being irrational. She ignored him; he did not know Bruce like she did.

"I promise," he answered softly. She smiled back at him and let him leave.

"I can't believe you just did that," Harvey told her incredulously once the dark knight was gone.

"Yeah, well you don't know Batman like I do," she promised him. Harvey nodded and gave her a skeptical look.

"Apparently not. So what was going on between you two?" he questioned. Rachel smiled and moved to snuggle close to him. She needed to know he was fine.

"Nothing. He was just a jealous ex-boyfriend who is still hoping I'll see the light and come running back to him," she down played. Harvey looked down at her and cocked and eyebrow.

"Do I have some competition?" he asked only half-seriously.

"Not anymore."

Joker stuck a finger down his throat and gagged. That was just sickeningly sweet and too lovey-dovey for his standards. He'd rather chop off his foot then listen to them be all gaa-gaa for each other. He hated romance stuff. It if was not for the good of his ego and his love of the theatrical, he would storm in there and shoot them right now for torturing his eardrums with their nonsense. Oh well, just two more weeks and he would get his revenge and a bag of chips. He could wait till then. He flipped the radio off. He had all he needed.

A/N: So I was not actually going to update today, but figured what the heck? I have it planned out and I don't feel like going to bed. Well, tell me what you thought. Thanks again to everyone who reviewed. Your reviews drive the updates.
