Batgirl giggled when she received no response from the desolate warehouse, and strolled deeper into the pit of insanity both literally and mentally allowing her mind to become flooded with the colours that now presented themselves to her along with the ideas that she would once have never even regarded.

"Joker…Harlequin…come one out" She cooed with a soft laugh that would have sent shivers up even Batman's spine, but she no longer cared about what Batman or anyone else thought. Her mind was totally free of restrictions like 'pain' or 'law', she could do as she pleased and there was no-one that could stop her.

"Come out, come out wherever you are" She sang loudly and her voice echoed around the empty warehouse, she listened for the tell tale signs of breathing and scuffling but found she couldn't hear anything.

"Oh…your good" She giggled practically dancing forwards as she stood in the centre of the warehouse, just standing and listening to the sounds of Gotham, to the sounds of her prey.

She reached to her wrist and tapped a few buttons before she heard the voice of her equipment, one she had installed herself.

"Thermo vision activated" It commented to her and a thin sheet of thermo enhanced material covered her eyes and showed her where all the heat was, where to only two other people were.

"Found you" She cooed charging forwards with gay abundance and jumping around a pillar and straight in front of Harlequin.

"Hiya!" She greeted cheerily before launching her right fist forwards, Harlequin ducked and her fist hit the wall and cracked the plaster, she turned to Harlequin with a giggle.

"This time, we play by my rules" Batgirl told her a voice going from light to complete darkness, a dark undertone lining the voice with promise. This is going to hurt, I promise.

Batgirl twisted back and reared forwards with surprising speed and kicked Harlequin in the stomach, and Harlequin cried out as her ribs cracked from the force of the kick. Batgirl however wasn't finished with her just yet, as Harlequin doubled over from the pain of her cracking ribs Batgirl grabbed her neck and squeezed as hard as she could for a few seconds to listen to Harlequin gasp before she threw her into the wall she had cracked with her punch.

"Oh, your no fun!" Batgirl giggled as Harlequin fell limp to the floor, she turned and looked for Joker's heat signature.

"Your not very nice Mr Jay!" Batgirl yelled out walking slowly towards Joker, taking long deliberate steps as she did so.

"Letting Harley take the blame for your big scheme, you wanted me to be like this. So here I am" Batgirl called to him with vehemence that made the Joker a little skittish, not that he would admit it.

"I just wanted to play" Joker sang back to her and stepped out into the light, finding that she had been a little closer to his hiding place than he found comfortable."So what are we waiting for? I'm here, let's play" Batgirl hissed and Joker found himself swallowing hard and regretting his plan of trying to destroy Batgirl mentally rather than physically. He had thought that she would be as harmless as the bird, but he was wrong.

She was worse then the bat, the bird, Harley and himself put together.

"I've always wondered why you were a good guy, you make a much better bad guy" Joker told her chuckling and she tilted her head to the side.

"I had something to protect, but you killed it, killed her. Ripped my heart out" She smirked at him.

"Shattered my mind"

"Now you understand how I feel!" Joker laughed nervously and she tilted her head to the side before laughing loudly, her laughter abruptly stopped though and she turned back to Joker.

"Your turn"

Batman had left Robin behind with Alfred, he was still slightly concussed and his nose was most definitely broken from the force of Batgirl's attack. If Batgirl had been thinking straight (which Batman was positive she wasn't) she would have noticed the tracker on her cape, the one he had placed there while she had slept to keep her out of trouble.

He didn't know why the death of the civilian had traumatised her so much but he had to stop her before she did something she would regret, something unforgivable.

Please let her be ok, please.

He reached the warehouse just after midnight, and parked the Batmobile out of sight from any wandering civilians and started towards the warehouse.

He was a few feet from the door when Joker came running out, pleading for mercy. From a glance Batman could see his was broken, as was his nose and at least three of his fingers, he was running with a limp and blood was pouring from his mouth. Batman was just about to grab Joker when a bat line shot out of the open warehouse door and wrapped around Joker's middle and then dragged him kicking and screaming back inside the warehouse only for him to be thrown out of one of the windows only moments later.

Batman charged into the warehouse to find Harlequin hanging from another bat line from the ceiling and Batgirl using her as her own personal punching bag, and she was grinning, even laughing at the torment that Harlequin had to endure.

"Batgirl, stop!" Batman called to her and she stopped, head flicking up to stare at Batman with a sadistic and manic grin that frightened Batman more than he cared to admit.

"Oh look, new player"
