HARLEY'S POV

Walking through Gotham, Puddin wanted me to go into a hatshop and make room for him to 'make his mark' as he put it. Why a hatshop I don't know. I walked in and pulled my floppy hat down lower so that I wouldn't be recognized. A nice old lady stood at the front desk and looked at me when I walked up.

"I need to get in the back." I said as politely as possible. "Only the specials go in the back." she said vaguely. "Um...what?" The woman pulled out a rifle and pointed it at my chest. "I ain't seen you 'round here before. You new?"

A single gunshot rang out before I could answer. The woman now had a smoking hole in her chest and her body fell to the floor. "Well. That was messy." My joker stood with his pistol drawn with blood splattered on his shoes. "Stop staring at me Harley and come on!" I shook myself out of a daze and followed after him like a lost puppy. We walked through the service door and happened upon a drug gang playing poker.

We stood in the shadows and took in the scene. Twenty thugs were in the room. Some played poker while the others were either smoking or messing with their guns. One thug had stood up at the sound of an open door. "Carla?" he called out. Puddin's laugh filled the room, causing the men to reach for their guns. "I don't think so. Harley!" I ran forward, backflipped over the men, and grabbed their assorted weapons.

"Now that those useless things are taken care of..." Puddin walked out of the shadows and grabbed one of the men by the throat. "Let's get down to business."

"We don't take orders from you, Joker." The man spoke up. "Well, I guess you don't." The thug looked confused while Puddin nodded to me and I smirked. "Wrong decision asshole. No one talks to Mistah J like that!" I grabbed my baseball bat from its place on my back and slammed it into his back causing him to yell in pain. "Argh!" Puddin turned to me. "Harley, do you want to do the honors?" My eyes sparkled as I took the knife from his hand. I held the chin of the thug up and looked into his eyes. "Ready to die?" His eyes widened in fear as I put the knife on his cheek. "Sh...it'll all be over soon." I whispered then yanked the knife across his mouth from cheek to cheek. He fell with a *thump*, his face scarred with the smile of my love.

The other thugs faces went stark white while I smirked and handed Puddin the knife. I giggled when one of them puked in a corner. "Now, if there aren't any more interruptions.." Puddin began. I sat down on the poker table and half-listened to what was being said.

I couldn't help but sigh as the events of the past few days ran through my head. Joker had began to hit me more than normal and it had gotten me thinking if there was any way to either get him to stop, or if I could just leave and find someone else...


WADE'S POV

"What the hell?" I wondered aloud, rubbing my head. "Must've had one to many chimichangas." I stood up and walked into my small living room. My day became a lot more complicated when I turned on my TV.

=It's just in. Batman has defeated the Riddler once again and has brought him to Arkham Asylum. All hostages are accounted for and are being rescued by Robin and Nightwing from the Riddler's underground hideout. This is Vicki Vale with GCN reporting.=

Muting the TV, I walked to my window. I opened the curtains to see a foreign cityscape. Sprawling industrial buildings mixed with modern skyscrapers and office buildings filled the cityscape of the city. Rubbing my eyes, I did a double take. "Holy shit." I whispered in awe, realizing where I was.

Running back to my bed, I searched for the item in question. Finally, it fell into my hands. My Batman: Under the Red Hood graphic novel. Flipping rapidly through the pages, I found that the cityscape of Gotham matched exactly to the one that was outside my window. "No ****ing way. I'm in Gotham. Doesn't matter how or when, but I finally get to live out my dream." I paused for dramatic effect for whatever audience was reading. "I get to fight Batman!"
