Alright Chapter 2, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is, Joker is in this chapter! And there will be a lot of him in the chapters to come. The bad news is, when I got a new computer I wrote the last 2 chapters on it and accidentally deleted them. I do remember most of it but they might take a bit longer to rewrite. Anyway, thank you for the reviews/alerts/favorites! I appreciate it! Enjoy the chapter!

"Dad it wasn't my fault!" Eilish screamed, throwing her arms into the air with frustration.

"Look at this place Camren! Look at it!" her father furiously shouted back. Her arms slowly dropped down to her sides, knowing fully well he was really pissed off when he called her by her middle name. The few buttons at the top of his shirt were unbuttoned, showing his glistening sweat from the anger raging inside him.

"The house is trashed, the kitchen smells like pure liquor!" he placed his hands on his hips walking near the kitchen counter where he suddenly threw his arm out to swipe bottles of Absolut and Jack Daniels on to the marble floor. The sounds of the glass shattering over the floor made her flinch. He began to pace back and forth through the kitchen.

"I don't drink dad…you know that! And I swear I was going to clean this all up when the party was over." she tried desperately to explain.

"Yeah Leash? I'm sure you did," he said with sarcasm, "then what about the drugs huh? Can you find an excuse for that one too?" She sighed, knowing that if she snitched on Stacey she would never hear the end of it, considering the fact her father knew her very well.

"It wasn't mine." she said softly, cupping her arm.

"Then whose is it?"

"I don't know-."

"Oh, alright…so a ghost just happened to come floating into the house and directly to your bedroom where he accidentally dropped a shit load of cocaine on your bed!" his face was a dark red, the veins in his temples popping out over his forehead. She didn't know what to say.

"Dad you should know it wasn't mine! They took a goddamn drug test in front of you!" she snapped at him. He sighed with frustration, bringing his thumb and index finger over his temples.

"Start cleaning up." He said calmly looking away from her. Her jaw dropped at his words as she then quickly glanced at the clock.

"Dad it's like four in the morning-."

"You won't be going to school tomorrow," he quickly pointed a finger at her, "you'll be going nowhere without me there…when you aren't in school, you're with me." he walked passed her, leaving her to a dump.

(Thursday)

A few days had passed, and it was soon to be the end of the week. She decided she wouldn't go back to school until everything had calmed down, and the tension with her and her father had eased. When she wasn't cleaning the house, she was sitting in an office chair next to the large window of the 48th floor of Wayne Tower. She watched as her cell phone vibrated against her father's desk.

"One new message from Maria," he read aloud to her, "delete."Eilish rolled her eyes at her dad who was enjoying her punishment. She sat there looking out the window as the sound of phones and keyboards clicking filled her ears.

"You're just loving this aren't you?" she asked solemnly, still looking out the window. She watched out of the corner of her eye as he nodded.

"You have no idea." she folded her arms and slumped back into her chair, tired from all of the cleaning she had to do by herself the passed few days. Her thoughts were then interrupted as her father's office phone began to obnoxiously ring. He answered it only to hang up seconds later.

"Lunch break." he said as he swiveled around in his chair. He stood up and stretched.

"There's a deli around the corner, why don't we go check it out," he suggested. Eilish pulled herself to her feet, stretching as well.

"Sure." she said softly.

"Alright well why don't you go run down to the bank for me, it should be across the street from the Deli, I'll meet up with you as soon as I get these folders upstairs." he said handing her his credit card. "Take out twenty ok? I want a receipt." she took the card from his hand and watched has he grabbed the folders from his desk.

"Alright." she walked out of his office and towards the elevator.

Eilish lazily walked down the streets of Gotham, not bothering to move out of the way for the large crowds of workmen shuffling by her. She was lost in a daze, thinking back to the terrible night she had the few days before. She began to regret everything she had done that week, wishing she didn't have to be locked up, especially with the Joker threatening her. Although he didn't injure her, he sure had left a scar on her mind. The time she spent alone with access to a computer or even newspaper, she read everything she could on the infamous Joker. It wasn't hard to find information about him, he was obviously a big deal to everyone walking the streets. Yet she still didn't understand, if he was such a dangerous criminal, why he didn't just kill her on the spot. The people in the news made it seem like she would have nightmares for weeks if she just looked at him.

She was suddenly yanked backwards by the arm, forcing her to stop in her tracks. She turned around sharply towards the person who grabbed her.

"Can I help you?" she asked annoyed at the old man who grabbed her.

"I wouldn't go in there if I were you." he told her, taking a hit off of his cigarette. Eilish gave the man a confused look before she looked towards the bank she was about to walk into.

"What do you mean? What's going on?" she asked him, trying to see through the dark glass doors. In seconds the glass doors exploded, shards of glass flying everywhere, covering the stone steps of the bank. She flinched and covered her head as the shards rapidly hit the ground around her. She looked up only to hear gunshots and the faint screams of people inside and outside of the bank.

"That's what's going on." she heard the man say behind her, pointing to the destroyed entrance of the bank. A group of people began to emerge from the bank, all of them wearing what looked to be clown masks, and holding large guns. The streets were now in panic, as large crowds of people were now screaming and running passed her to get away. She didn't know what to do as the masked men were running in her direction, the fear made her unable to move.

She watched as the men were soon headed towards the street where an old SUV was waiting for them. Eilish soon began to realize what was happening, and knew she needed to get out of the area fast. She turned around to see that the old man had disappeared with the panicking people who flooded the streets. She then looked back to the SUV where the masked men began gathering into the truck. Before she could figure out where she could go, her eyes stopped on one of the masked men who seemed to be staring directly at her. She swallowed hard, watching as he stepped back down from the truck, and closed the door. He looked around casually before he began to advance towards her.

She began to back up a little, not knowing what to do. She looked at the sidewalk behind her that still had frantic people running and screaming. Her heart started to pound as the man got closer, forcing her to snap out of her daze and to turn around and run like hell. Her body was picking up adrenaline as she glanced over her shoulder to see the man chasing her from behind. She gasped as she pushed passed everyone, trying to get out of the man's sight. She was able to push through the crowds and soon enter a dark alleyway filled with trash. She stopped and caught her breath, turning around to see no one in sight. She started to walk cautiously through the alleyway, glancing behind her to make sure no one was there. She then saw another road peering from the other end of the alley. She began to quicken her pace, passing another open passage on both her right and left. She stopped as something caught her eye. She looked to the passage to her right to see the man standing there.

She then dashed to the passage on her left, shrieking as she felt the man's powerful arms wrap around her.

"No!" she winced, and was able to wiggle herself free. She sprinted down the passage only to see a tall gate blocking her way. She jumped onto it, hanging onto the metal strips for dear life, starting to climb to the top. Just as she was about to throw her leg over, she suddenly felt a gloved hand grab her ankle and yank her down.

"Get off of me!" she shouted, escaping from his grasp once more, only to be backed up against the gate behind her. The man stood there calmly watching her every move like a vulture. She began to catch her breath as she studied his mask that looked like an angry clown. Eilish swallowed hard, waiting, which she knew was all she could do.

"W-what do you want?" she managed to say, pressing back into the gate as he stepped closer to her.

"I just wanted totalk." he said as he lifted his hands casually. It was a smothered, unusual voice, yet almost familiar to her ears. Her heart jumped as she watched him inch closer and closer to her.

"Leash!" there was a faint sound in the distance, "Leash!" she soon recognized the voice that was getting closer; her father's. The man turned his head slightly as if he was listening to her father calling her name. He then turned his head back, his eyes burning into her's as he was now inches away from her.

"Leash?"he asked, resting his hand on the gate next to her head. "That's a pretty name, hmm?"

"Eilish goddamn it, where are you!" her father shouted again, his voice much closer this time.

"It's also something used to control uh…animals."the man said, his eyes burning holes into hers. "Funny how a simple little thing, can turn out to be so…powerful, hm?" she looked away from the man, trying not to listen to what he was saying. He then moved his head in front of hers, forcing her to turn back and face him.

"Eilish!" her father shouted again. The man sighed and looked at the watch on the wrist that wasn't on the gate.

"It seems we're going to uh have to do this some other time…Leash." His words sent a quiver down her back. He shifted the weight on his feet, tilting his head to the side as he looked at her. He glanced back at the opening of the alleyway, listening to the calls from her father.

"Don't worry," he said, after seeing the scared look in her eyes, "I'll let Daddy Dearest keep you for now."he hissed, sliding his hand off the gate, purposely touching her neck as he did. Eilish watched in shock and horror as the man casually walked out of the passage and towards the street where the same old SUV she had seen earlier waited for him. He quickly climbed into the backseat only to speed off seconds later

She slowly walked out of the alleyway, close to tears. She didn't know what to say or even think.

"Eilish, sweetie there you are, I was so worried, I heard what happened and tried to get down here as fast as I could but-." Eilish cut him off as she gained her voice back.

"Dad, I'm fine…really. I didn't eve go into the bank…I was just hiding." she lied, forming a weak smile. He sighed, taking deep breaths.

"Let's get you home."

(Monday)

"So you got arrested?" Kat shouted a bit too loud during lunch the next Monday. Eilish blushed a little as a few heads turned in her direction.

"Yea but…whatever." she replied, looking down at her plate.

"You shouldn't be ashamed of that, with all of the other rumors going around." Kat said. Eilish rolled her eyes. Thanks that makes me feel much better.

"Perfect." Eilish said dryly.

"I guess you don't want to hear then?" Kat asked awkwardly.

"No."

"Oh Leashy!" her brother's voice sang behind her. She looked over watching as her brother grabbed a chair, sitting next to her. Annoyed, Eilish rolled her eyes and looked over at him.

"Hey now don't give me that look." he said as his smile faded.

"Well Zach, maybe I wouldn't have to if you didn't ditch me at the party, since it was your fault anyway." she told him. He rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry ok? Things just got a little crazy and I didn't know how to handle it…I'll make it up to ya, I promise." he held out his pinky finger towards her, watching her sigh and grabbing it with hers.

"Later, ladies." he saluted the rest of her table as they all watched him leave. She waited for someone to say how they both looked so much alike when they were together, but nothing came.

"So you can't even go outside of your house without your dad?" Kat asked in shock. Eilish nodded.

"I don't know how much longer I can take this." she stabbed her food angrily with her fork.

"Well, I guess you could say it's better then being locked up with that clown dude." Kat said under her breath. Eilish looked up at the comment, thinking back to the Joker and the masked man who had chased her only days before.

"How did you know about that?" Eilish asked her curiously. Kat tilted her head.

"About what?"

"Being locked up with the Joker." She said softly, so others wouldn't hear.

"Oh…I was just kidding, he was on the news the whole weekend. Why did you actually see him?" All eyes were now staring at her. She felt her face turn read and hesitated before saying anything, then continued to eat.

"No," she laughed nervously, "that would have been crazy…"

Eilish looked down at her food and suddenly felt full.

"Well, maybe we'll be able to have some fun on that trip to the museum, that'll cheer you up." Her friend Victoria, who had been sitting next to her, added.

"Yeah, I think Vick's right, being under lock down is gonna get to you." Kat agreed. Eilish nodded her head softly, thinking back to the MCU and the bank. It can't get worse.

So what do you think? Just to clear things up, the masked man is the Joker, although Eilish doesn't know that just yet. Sorry I gave him such a short part, but as I said before the next chapters have a lot of him. Review and let me know what you think!
