A/N: I hope I didn't bore you guys with the first part...I hope. But here's the first chapter and I pretty much liked how it turned out! I hope you guys like it and if you do, please stop for a moment and give review I would highly appreciate it! And if you don't like it, that's ok too, I'm very open to criticism so if you wanna say something bad about it, say it through a review as well ;)! All in all, I'm very curious about your opinion and I hope you'll enjoy this!

"I told you once, I told you a million times: If I forbid you from going out somewhere then YOU DON'T GO!" a middle-aged woman yelled out as she pulled by one arm a young girl, while they were walking down a street.

It was night, about 11 PM. The woman was wearing a police uniform and she had a very upset look on her. She kept talking relentlessly as she walked fast on the sidewalk, with big steps, nearly running. With her right hand she was gripping the left biceps of a teen girl, almost dragging her after her. The girl was wearing a tight black long-sleeved dress which covered her to near the half of her thighs. She had on a pair of knee-length boots with no heels, though she was towering over her mother. She was very tall and had a slim body. She had long chocolate-brown hair and hazel eyes. From her ears, two big hoop earrings were hanging. She wasn't wearing too much make-up, just dark grey on her eyelids, mascara and light red lipstick.

"C'mon, mom!" the girl said while being pulled "It hurts, you know…"

"Don't give me that, young lady!" the woman responded not even looking over her shoulder "I told you, you weren't going anywhere tonight!"

"But mom, we weren't doing anything wrong! You saw us didn't you?"

"I don't care! You're just seventeen and I won't allow you to go out at such a late hour, not as long as I'm still breathing!"

"Linda, Amy and I were just strolling around town, mom! Nothing out of the ordinary or dangerous!"

"Not dangerous?! Three teenage girls dressed like this, walking down Gotham at night? Do you know how many maniacs are out there? Have you any idea how many kidnappers, thieves, rapists and killers are waiting in the dark?!"

"What are the odds for something to happen to ME, TONIGHT?!" the girl asked exasperated.

"Oh, thank God I found out you left and managed to reach you quickly!" the woman let out with a sigh, ignoring her daughter's question "And thank God we caught that maniac last night…With him free in the city…" she added in a more relieved tone.

"Well, if he's gone then why…"

"SILENCE!" the woman yelled loudly, for the first time stopping in her tracks and looking angrily at her girl, who froze immediately "You're too young, it's too late and you do not sneak out of the house ever again, UNDERSTAND?"

With her eyes widened, all the girl could do was nod. The woman glared at her a little more, and then continued to walk, dragging the girl after her.

Her mother was, in a way, right. With two of her good friends, Linda and Amy, she would go out, during the day, almost everyday and her mother was ok with that. But that night, since it was the last one in spring and the first of the summer vacation, they had planned something different. They thought they could go out together during the night for the first time so they could stroll in Gotham City when it is illuminated in its entire splendor. Amy and Linda's parents gave their girls their permission, but her mother didn't agree. Since she was a sergeant, she was highly aware of everything that was going on in the city…and she knew it wasn't pretty at all. Therefore, she didn't allow her only girl to be out of the house at night, no matter how much her daughter insisted. But Jayne, or Jay how her friends called her, didn't take no for an answer. Luckily for her, her mother, having the job that she had, would rarely be at home during the night, which left Jay all alone at home during most of the nights. So that night, with her mother busy at MCU, Jay sneaked out of the house at about 10 PM. Sadly for her, her mom wasn't fooled. With help from her colleagues she soon found out Jay wasn't home and spotted her quickly. Therefore, the woman was very upset with her daughter ignoring the restriction.

"Mom, where are you taking me?" Jay asked when noticing that where she was being pulled was nowhere even close to their home.

"I can't risk taking you home. I'm busy tonight and you might sneak out again" Jay simply rolled her eyes at her mother's cold comment "So I'll take you at MCU and you'll stay in my office until I get everything done. Then we'll go home together" she added accentuating the last word.

"Okay…" Jay let out defeated. Then she suddenly froze and piped out "But you said…you told me this morning that the Joker is held at one at the cells in MCU. You're taking me away from the streets they're full of maniacs and you're taking me in the unit where the father of all maniacs is?!" she asked, even though she didn't quite believe her lasts words.

"The Joker is in one of cells, all by himself, disarmed, in the opposite part of the unit you'll be staying, dear" the mother explained harshly.

In a few moments, they reached the doors of Gordon's unit. The woman pushed the door open and pulled her daughter after her. Jayne never entered the MCU before so she was unknowing of the looks of anything inside. Once in, her mother loosened her grip upon her arm, probably because there were many of her colleagues around. After greeting each one of them, she guided Jay around the unit, along many offices and doors. Without being consciously aware, Jayne kept an eye open for the cells, but she didn't see anything. The place seemed very much like a maze to the girl, so when they finally stopped walking, she felt relieved because her legs hurt a lot.

"There, stay there!" the woman said pointing at the chair behind the desk they stopped in front of.

Jay threw herself tired and silently on the chair. As her mother began signing some paper from her desk while sipping from the cup of coffee placed on it, her daughter looked around. Nothing out of the ordinary, just the average police unit. She could hear a phone ringing and voices of different people chatting. Different thoughts were running through her mind…thoughts which all had the same root. After a few minutes of contemplation, she said, staring in void.

"Mom?"

"Yes?" the woman replied, not looking away from the papers.

"How do you…How do all of you know that the Joker isn't just confused and misguided…not aware of what he's doing…?"

The scribbling on the papers stopped. Jay figured out that her mother stopped working on the papers so she looked up at her. The sergeant had her lips pressed together in thought and after blinking a few times and clearing her throat, the woman began in a soft tone, as if speaking to a very young or disabled person:

"Jayne…I know that in your little head of yours you think that everyone is good and that we all should just hold hands like in a John Lennon song, but those are nothing but fairytales. You're too old for fairytales now. You better wake up and realize that the world is a dangerous, two-faced place with all kinds of people who are ready to tear you apart, only caring about them" shed then added in a rougher tone of voice "What the Joker did, Jayne, was unex…"

"Sergeant Williams!" a black cop said suddenly, appearing out of nowhere next to her mother, interrupting her.

"What is it, Richard?" the woman asked.

"Trouble on street Wallany…looks like a fight between two gangs again" the man answered quickly while putting on his coat which he had had in his hands, looking very rushed.

That moment, Jay realized, paying attention more to the sounds around there, that everyone in the unit seemed to be on the run for some reason.

"Can anyone else go? Like Olsen or Dorland? I can't just leave Jayne…"

"Olsen and a couple of others are on their way there already but we need you there as well, sergeant. And Dorland is busy with the rest to go on Avenue 17…a hit and run accident occurred and two victims were killed" Richard added.

Sergeant Williams gained a very concerned look on her face, looking at her colleague who was ready to leave, but waited for her, and then at her daughter.

"It's ok, mom! You can go…I'll be fine!" Jay said trying to assure her mother.

"Alright…" the woman sighed. She then took her gun, loaded it with bullets then took her jacket of the chair Jay was sitting on "Don't move! I'll be back as quickly as possible!" she added putting her jacket on.

"Ok, mom!"

"The bathroom is there if you need anything" she continued pointing to the direction of the restroom "I'll be back in an hour, dear!"

Afterwards, Williams leaned and kissed her daughter on the forehead.

"Love you, kid!" she added before leaving Jay's sight with the other cop.

"Love you too, mom!" Jay said.

After her mother was away from sight, the girl kept listening to see what else she could hear from inside the unit. Rushed footsteps, voices which kept telling each other to hurry up and loading of guns. After a few minutes, Jay could also hear the sound of the doors being opened and shut again and again and, in the very end, all she could hear was the noise of car engines which shrank every moment, as if leaving. Afterwards, complete silence. Then Jay realized she was all by herself in the whole unit. Every cop left.

So all that Jay could right then was just sit and wait…wait for her mother to come back. An hour passed, but nothing. Two hours passed, still dead silence, a silence which bored her to tears. She had absolutely nothing to do in that office she was in. The whole two hours she waited she simply sat and looked at the clock on the wall in front of her, with her head rested on one of her hands, which had its elbow supported on the desk.

It was 1 AM already and no sign of movement, not a single one. She laughed at herself thinking that she had never thought that being all alone in a police unit could be THAT boring. Then it struck her. It struck her like a brick in the head…She wasn't actually all alone in that unit. Someone else was also there, at the opposite part. A thought came to her head, but then Jay shook it away saying it would be more than stupid. Then it came back. It was almost like there were two different persons inside her, fighting for a decision.

'He's dangerous' Jay thought to herself. 'Yeah, but he seems so fascinating' a little voice said 'Fascinating in a very wrong way' another voice said 'That's true…but that's what makes you so curious about him'. 'I'm not curious about him…I'm just…I just wish I knew what's going on in his head'. 'That's curiosity!'…'It may be but I shouldn't…I mustn't…I WON'T!'…'You won't have this chance again'…'Maybe it's not his fault for being what he is…I just wish I could see him for a couple of seconds, talk to him for a moment maybe…he's so intriguing'….'He's very intriguing…'

"SHUT UP!" Jay yelled out suddenly, placing both hands on her ears, trying to desperately silence the voices in her head.

The Joker scared Jay ever since he first appeared on television with that disturbing video. She couldn't deny she was frightened when she knew he was out there, free, free to kill or kidnap whoever he liked, just for the joy of it. Who wouldn't be afraid by such a person after all? Jay didn't tell her mother, but the only reason why she managed to convince herself to sneak out was because the Joker was finally caught for good. It was a relief for her in a way because she had no more reasons to fright. But still, when she remembered then that she was inside the same unit with him, even though locked up, she panicked…She was afraid again.

But still…even though scared, then and weeks before when she had first heard of him, there was something…something about him that made Jay very curious about him…she even felt a bit dragged to him. For some reason, for some wicked reason indeed, the fear gave birth to a sort of attraction and wish of knowing what was inside his mind. It was as if he was a complete mystery and she just couldn't figure him out. "He's mad, he's insane!" everyone around her said. "But is he really?" she asked herself everyday since she first heard of him. For her, every deed that he ever done, even though shaking her to the core and frightening her, was a sort of a piece from a giant puzzle. A puzzle to understanding what was going on inside that man's head. And because no matter how many pieces came along, Jay couldn't put anything together, made her feel more and more curios and more and more attracted to him.

It was a strange mixture of feelings that Jay felt towards the Joker since day one. He scared her to death, but at the same time she found herself wanting to know him better. She wanted to stay as far as possible from him and also to get closer to him. It was like two perfectly opposite feelings and thoughts that were fighting against each other inside her. Jay found it very strange…more than strange, mad.

She contemplated for a couple of moments, then, without realizing what she was doing, she got up from her chair. Now she was standing. She began walking…walking out the office's door and on the long corridor she had come on.

'What am I doing?' she asked herself. A voice inside her head told her she was going to look for the Joker around the unit. Half of her wanted this badly, but the other half was unsure and scared of that thought. She then stopped in her tracks and thought for a second. What was she really going to do? Go back to her mom's desk or go look for that man? She tried to convince herself that maybe, just maybe…if she encounters him or manages to only look at him in flesh and bone for a couple of seconds, the strange need to know him better will disappear and he won't haunt her thoughts any longer.

With that in mind, Jay took a deep breath and continued to walk, with her legs still shaking a bit of fear and a small part of her mind still being frightened. She looked around, having no idea where she was going, where she was or where the cells where, but she kept in mind that she had to be going in the opposite direction of where she was brought.

So she began walking, looking for the Joker in a place that seemed very much like a maze.

A/N: Chapter 2 will probably be out tomorrow night...so stay tuned ;)!
