A/N: HEY! So, this is the end...which I am quite sad about, but it had to come eventually. I was planning on waiting a week before posting this but in this past day I've already had four reviews, which has been amazing to hear your guys support so I decided to post this within a day! So thanks to Suki. Fictionist, LadyNorth76, Twilighterheart xxxx and Middleeartheart for all reviewing and everyone else who has followed or favorited too! So, I guess this is it, hope you enjoy :)

It had been three weeks since they had caught the Joker. Since then Isabelle had found herself a new apartment. Though a lot of her stuff had actually been thrown out by her old landlord, since most people just presumed that she was dead. But fortunately, she had managed to recover a few things.

Her new apartment wasn't much better than her old one. It was still just as small and was still in one of the worse places in Gotham.

Commissioner Gordon had visited her again whilst she was still in hospital two days after they had caught the Joker to ask her a bit more about her time with him. They had been simple questions which she had answered.

She had also been recommended seeing a therapist by the hospital for a while since she had been through a traumatic experience, saying that it could help her if she talked about what happened, but she had politely declined, insisting she was fine.

In the past three weeks she had also had multiple people come up to her in the street saying how sorry they were for what she had had to go through and how it shouldn't have happened to her. It had got annoying pretty quickly. They had all spoken to her as if they knew what she had been through and as if it was a terrible and traumatic experience. But to be truthful, it hadn't been all that bad. Isabelle knew that it could have been so much worse. But still, she had smiled and said thanks to anyone who approached her.

She had also slowly managed to suppress her feelings for Joker. Now, whenever she heard his name, she mainly felt anger at what he'd done. She had done her best to move on, even though it had only been two weeks, but she was still determined.

Nearly two weeks ago, she had gotten herself a job as a waitress in a nearby diner. In her old job, she had worked in an office, but she at the moment she just needed to get money coming in again as soon as possible if she wanted to pay rent and keep her apartment.

She was busy walking down the street to the diner now, pulling her coat closer to her to protect her from the wind. She had tied her hair up to stop it from getting in her way, but a few bits had come loose and were blown into her face as she walked. She reached a hand up to tuck them behind her ear.

When she finally reached the dinner, she went through to the back to hang her coat up and get her apron.

"Hey Isabelle?" Max, the cook called over to her.

"Yeah?" She said back, walking over.

"There's been a spill around table four. Anna is busy waiting at the minute, do you mind cleaning it up?" He asked her.

"Um, sure." She said and went to go get the mop and bucket.

She then went through to clean up the broken glass and coffee. She was busy mopping up the mess when Anna came over.

"Oh, hey Isabelle. Thanks for cleaning that up. I tripped and just dropped it, but I had to wait table number one first."

Anna was a nice girl with long blonde hair. Isabelle would admit that she was a bit jealous of Anna's looks. She was also very kind too, which was rare in Gotham. "It's no problem." Isabelle replied with a small smile.

"Still, thanks. I've got my break now, but I'll talk to you later." She said and walked off.

XXXXXXXX

Isabelle had finished cleaning up and had started to wait on the few customers that had come in. Today was a slow day. At the moment there weren't even any customers in the dinner, so Isabelle was sitting at one of the seats at the counter with Anna, whilst Max was out back having a fag.

She was busy talking to Isabelle about her mother and father on vacation in Italy when Max came back in. He headed straight for the TV that was in up in one of the corners, overlooking the counters. He reached up and changed channels, switching the volume up too.

"Hey, what you doing?" Anna asked.

"Shhh! I just got off the phone to my friend. You're never gonna believe what he told me." Max said.

"What?" Anna asked.

"Just watch." He said and pointed towards the TV.

Isabelle looked up, seeing that he had put on the news.

"-shocked to discover that last night, the Joker, the man who terrorized Gotham for a couple of months escaped Arkham-"

Isabelle didn't hear the rest. 'He had escaped? It had been three fucking weeks! How had he escaped after three goddamn weeks?' She thought. Her breathing sped up as her heart raced. 'How?' Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and she was unable to think clearly. But there was one particular thought that kept on repeating itself.

The Joker was back.

IMPORTANT A/N: Hey, so I guess this is the end of this fic :( I really enjoyed writing it and am sorry about the ending, especially since I'm more of a happy ending kinda gal, but I wrote it twice and it always seemed to go in this direction. I was also so overwhelmed by the amount of support I've had for my first Batman fic, even when I didn't update for months and also the amount of people who have enjoyed reading it, it's been amazing!

Oh!...I almost forgot to say….(joke, I was just leaving it till last cause I'm evil like that!)...I plan on writing a sequel! I mean you didn't think I'd let it end like that between them did you? ;) I had always planned on writing one since I only wanted this fic to take place during the movie, without the plot changing too much and wanted it to fit in with the film timings, so I knew I wouldn't be able to get everything in this one. BUT, although I do plan on writing a sequel, I don't have a proper idea yet as my mind is busy thinking about another two Joker/OC fic ideas that I'm excited about writing, so I plan on starting and developing them first, but I promise I will write a sequel, just in a few months or something when I know what to write, so patience!

Anyway, just want to say a HUGE thanks again to everyone who has enjoyed, favorited, followed and especially those who reviewed this fic! You guys make my day! :) Hopefully my other future fics will be as successful, but I guess we'll have to wait and see!

BYE!
