I have no ideas. I've lost all inspiration for this story and I don't know how much more I can write without it sounding forced and rushed. I've been trying and trying but the words aren't flowing like they usually do. Normally at this point in my writing (because I usually don't post the stories) I just forget it and move on to something new. But because I can't leave you all hanging I've decided to push onward and finish. Thanks for reading and please leave a review.

My head was fuzzy and throbbed as I opened my eyes. Joker and Harley stood a few feet away and Joker was saying something I couldn't understand. Was he even speaking English? The little girl walked up to me and grinned.

"Finally up? Good, because we're in trouble." She looked at Joker. "Don't know what he's planning but it's not good for us."

"Us?" I said, barely above a whisper.

"Abby, you know as well as I do that if you die I'm finished too." The girl turned her empty sockets to look right at me. "We both know you're crazy."

"Shut up." I snapped and turned my attention to Joker.

"... I'll kill her if you don't come quick Bats." He said before bursting into laughter.

Harley turned and looked at me. "Mista J! She's awake!"

"What the hell?!" I shouted. "I thought we had an agreement!"

"Well things change my dear, and sometimes they change very quickly." The Joker walked over to me. "Now we don't need you yet so you need to go back to sleep."

And I was knocked out yet again by the Joker

No one's POV

In a white room that looked like a childs', a woman dressed in a black and white Lolita Dress with ash gray hair and black eyes, one marred by a scar, lounged against a giant white pillow. (A/N refer to the link in the previous chapter) A blonde and a red head stood before her. The blonde wore a black corset and a frilly black skirt as well as dark tights and heels, her hair was held in pigtails by a pair of black bows while her bangs fell into golden eyes. The red head was similarly dressed but had a more punk rock tone with a dragon tattoo, blue lips, gray eyes and dog collar as well as two leather bracelets, one being red and studded and the other being black, a black and white top hat perched on her head and two oversized black roses were on either side of her head, holding her hair in pigtails.

"Raggedy Ann." The Lolita addressed the red head then the blonde. "Mary Annette."

"China Doll we have some sad news." Mary told her. "Jack is dead."

"Jack-in-the-Box? How?"

Ann looked sadly at her clunky navy boots. "The girl he was helping. The one called Wolfhound. She shot him 'cause he was using her to kill Scarecrow. He called himself Jake then."

China Doll scoffed. "Trying to cut his ties to us I'm guessing." She paused a moment then looked at the two before her. "Find this Wolfhound. Bring her to me."

"Yes China Doll." Ann and Mary said in unison and turned to leave.

"And don't break her." China called. "I don't like when my toys are broken."

The two nodded then left the Lolita sitting in the center of the white room, lounging on her pillow.

Howl of the Wolfhound

Abby was still unconscious when Batman showed up. Hidden high in the shadows of the rafters he watched as the Joker and Harley waited for him. Two other pairs of eyes watched the scene as well. Cautiously Batman dropped down behind Abby and untied her before sneaking her out. It took a moment for the Joker to notice but the scene was almost comical, especially when the blare of sirens could be heard. Ann and Mary followed Batman and watched as the masked hero revived their target, listening to their conversation.

"Batman? Guess Joker's plan didn't work." Abby muttered to herself.

"What did Joker want with you?" Batman demanded.

Abby rolled her eyes at him and placed her hands on her hips. "I don't know. To use me to lure you close so we can kill you."

"'Kill'?" Batman gave her a severe look. "'We'? So you were in on it?"

"Well, yeah, in a way. I told him I wanted to team up to put an end to you. I didn't exactly sign up to be knocked out a bunch of times." Batman shook his head, unable to believe he had actually saved someone who wanted him gone. "You're Gotham's great hero. The man in the mask who saves everyone. But all that's done is make Gotham lazy. Everyone expects to be saved when things go bump in the night. They need real leadership, they need to grow backbones. They question authority then expect to be protected when the bad guys come. They're like untrained pups. If the Mayor says 'jump' they ask 'Why should I?' When we take over and I say 'jump' they'll jump and pray it's high enough to keep them from being cut off at the knees."

"You're just as crazy as the rest of them." Batman growled. "I should take you to Arkham." He reached to grab Abby's arm but she quickly dodged away.

"I used to work there you know. But then Crane hit me with some gas and I went a little loopy for a bit. I escaped though. I got away and I was planing my revenge. But then I realized they aren't really 'bad', you are. You're just a big bully with some fancy gadgets." She kept dodging his advances as she talked.

Batman let out a small growl of frustration at her evading him but managed to get a hand on her arm. With her free hand Abby threw a fist that connected solidly with his jaw. Batman didn't want to hit her, he had never felt right harming a woman, but this girl was obviously crazy and harmful and he had no choice but to subdue her and take her to Arkham. With that thought in mind Batman threw a punch that dazed the girl and allowed him to restrain her hands and begin leading her to where the bat-mobile was parked. To his surprise when he reached the tank two other girls stood in front of it. Batman eyed the pair carefully as he approached.

"Give us the girl." The blonde demanded.

Batman set the girl on the ground and took a defensive stance. "I don't think so."

"Fine." The red head smiled and threw what looked like a red bouncy-ball. It landed in front of Batman and a green gas exploded from it, blinding him. When it cleared all three girls were gone.

Well I'm back. And I think I'm nearing the end of all this. It's good to be back to this story but the ideas just aren't there. I apologize but after this there may only be one or two more chapters. Thanks for reading guys and please review. I love you!
