Mystery of The Night

Ch. 3



"You should've seen her Alfred, she's extremely fast, and it was like she knew exactly what they were going to do before they have done it."



Bruce said quickly, as he was looking over the huge computer that is in his Bat Cave. Alfred then nodded, as he placed the tray beside him. "Maybe she has a special ability that most people do not have." he rationalized, Bruce then shrugged, as he looked deep in thought. "It just makes no sense, she comes out of no where kills six men and they all turn to dust… how do men turn into dust by just being killed?" Once Bruce had said this, Alfred immediately remembered an old folk lore that was taken place in London about these types of cases.



"You know sir, there used to be an old folk lore back in my country about a Woman who used to be an incredible fighter, she would use to fight her opponents with stakes and they would turn to dust once she penetrates her stake in their hearts. I believe her name was Isabella Raven."



Bruce then instantly perked up. "Isabella you said?" Alfred then nodded. "Yes. They said that she was part vampire and part human and she trained on how to fight by her mentor Maverick Corelli. She's young but strong, and very smart and they said that she incorruptible. Even though that was all said, it's still a folk lore sir, probably not even true." He then noticed that Bruce looked extremely deep in thought now. "Sir if you don't mind me asking did you happen to get the name of this girl?" Bruce then sighed.



"The girl who drove the car called her Izzy, which I'm assuming is short for Isabelle or Isabella. Do you think it's her Alfred?"



Alfred shrugged as he clasped his hands together. "It could be possible sir; you had mentioned that she had a British Accent. So it may be true." Bruce figured that he might as well type her name into his computer and long, and behold a photo of her appeared, listing her name.



"Name: Isabella Raven, Age: 25, Height: 5'9", Weight: 135, Location: London, England. Alfred that's her! That's the girl I saw the other night!"



Alfred looks over her photo and nodded. "She's quite fetching isn’t she?" Bruce looked over at the dark hair, blue-eyed beauty and slowly nodded. "That may be but she might be dangerous as well, I need to find out more information about her." Alfred then looked over her last spotted location and it stated where she was. "It says that she is now staying at the Mulberry apartment in suite. 212 and is currently working at a club down on 24th called Trinity. She may be there right now sir." Bruce then quickly nodded and then rose up from his chair and pulled on his leather jacket and grabbed his helmet. "I'm going to head over there right now, try to see if you can find out more about her." Alfred then nodded watching Bruce heading out.



"As you wish sir."

Meanwhile, while this was happening the Joker was pacing back and forth in his hideout like a panther in his cage, waiting for one of his men to come back with some news about this woman. He was determined to find out who she was, and what she was hiding.



Harley on the other hand was sitting on the bed watching him frustratingly pace back and forth. "Puddin… why don't you stop pacing around and come spend some time with Me." she said with a little smirk on her face, as she patted the spot next to her. The Joker gritted his teeth. "Shut up." he said irritably as he started to mumble to himself, planning on killing this guy if he took this long and has no information for him. "Where is he, he better be here in five minutes, if he has nothing I'm going to torture him with my damn knife he'll just see…" he mumbled hotly to himself, while Harley just frowned realizing that he wasn’t paying any attention to her.



She then rose up from the bed, slowly walked up behind him, and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Come on baby, come to bed." She whispered seductively, the Joker then became enraged and quickly ripped her arms off of him and roughly shoves her onto the ground. "Leave. Me. Alone." He said gritting his teeth, as she stared up at him a little fearfully.



Just then, John the man who was out scoping information on the girl finally came rushing in with a huge smile on his face. "Boss! I found out some info for you! Her name is Isabella Raven and she works at her friends club Trinity on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for some extra cash." The Joker then instantly smirked. "Is she there now?" John then quickly nodded. "Yeah! I saw her walking into the club about 15 minutes ago; she also lives in the Mulberry apartments in suite. 212, it's right next door to her friends place." The Joker then allowed out a maniacal laugh, slightly jumping up and down on the balls of his feet approvingly.



"Well then I should go pay her a visit."



He smirked, Harley then instantly became upset. "Wait!? All of this was because you wanted information on some girl!?" The Joker ignored her as he walked towards his closet and pulled out a pair of dark denim blue jeans, and a black button down shirt. "What about us!? You never pay any attention to me! You love your plans and causing destruction to Batman more than me!" The Joker sighed as he pulled off the vest and shirt he was wearing and pulled on the black shirt and buttoned it up.



"I love syphilis more than you."



He said darkly, as he now walked over to the bathroom, leaving Harley in shock from what he said. The Joker, pulled on the dark blue jeans and looked at himself in the mirror, he had a very good idea to figure out more information on her and decided to wash off the makeup on his face and take out the green in his hair. As he finally looked up at his reflection, he looked completely different.



The only things that showed on his face was the scars that were stretched across both of his cheeks, giving him an eternal smile. He quickly shook his head causing the excess water in his hair to fly off of him, leaving his dirty blonde/brown shoulder length hair a curly mess. His eyes had dark circles around them from the lack of sleep he has encountered and decided that he looked fine enough to go out.



He then started to stride out of his bathroom seeing Harley sitting on the bed with tears in her eyes; he sighed as he pulled on a dark jacket and adjusted his collar. "Don't wait up." He said darkly, as he stormed out of the room, and headed towards the club.



Harley continued to sit on the bed watching him leave, tears still rolling down her cheeks. This is how it always was; he would take his anger and aggression out on her and only used her when he wanted something. She didn’t know why she allowed him to treat her so poorly all she knew is that she couldn’t leave him. She truly believed that he had a good side to him, and knew that it was hidden deep down in that cold heart of his.



However, nothing seemed to change him, nothing seemed to make him become affectionate to her and it made her constantly question to herself why do I stay, why does it hurt me so much that he doesn’t care and that is when she realized.



"Oh right… it's because I love him."

Isabella was standing behind the bar handing out drinks, working along side Alessandra. The night was chaotic and hot, the music was pumping an incredible vibe that was searing through the room, she was having fun enjoying her first night on the job with her new friends and started to learn more and more about them



They all seemed very easygoing and very friendly and this enlightened her very much. However, little did she know while she was working there were two men watching her the whole entire time. Sure they were on opposite sides of the room, but they watched every moved she made, both intending to find out more about this mystery woman.



Just then, Alessandra noticed one of them watching Isabella and then softly placed her hand on Isabella's shoulder and whispered in her ear. "Look's like you have an admirer." Isabella looked over at her completely confused and saw her nod her head towards the man. Isabella looked over to see a man in a dark leather jacket with dark brown hair. She found him quite attractive, and noticed that there was an air of danger and confidence within himself. She then smirked and looked over at Ally.



"He's cute."



Ally then chuckled. "Do you even know who that is?" Isabella then shook her head. "That's Bruce Wayne one of the richest men in this city, he owns Wayne Enterprises." Isabella then had a devious smirk morph on her face, deciding that she wanted to play. She then looked over at Jeff and softly whispered in his ear. "Hey luv do me a favor, dance with me." Jeff looked at her completely confused. "What why?" Isabella's smirk then grew even wider as she nodded towards Bruce. "A bloke keeps starting and I wanna give a show, to embarrass him a bit." Jeff then arched his brow. "Why ask me!? Ask any straight guy here they'd dance with you in a second." Isabella then sighed.



"Because I can trust you… I know you won't over step the bounds, please do this just pretend I'm Mark or something!"



Jeff then shrugged figuring that it'd be fun to mess with some guys mind and then took her hand and lead her towards the dance floor. "Alright, but you so owe me for this!" Isabella then started to laugh as the music started to play. "Trust me I'll definitely pay you back" she said with a large smile as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he placed his hands on her waist and pulled her tightly to him.



"Who are we messing with?"



She then looked over at Bruce and nodded towards him; Jeff looked over at him and smirked. "Oh you wanna mess with him?" he said amused, Isabella smirked and slowly nodded her head. "Yep so let's make this look good ok?" Jeff quickly nodded, a mischievous smirk morphing on his lips as he pulled her closer to his body trying to make it look more believable, as the song started to play.



It was a Monday, when my lover told me,

never pay the reaper with love only.

What could I say to you, except, I love you.

And I'd give my life for yours.



Jeff then pulled her closer, their lips mere inches from each other. Little did they know that Bruce was in shock from their interaction but the Joker was furious as he watched the two's bodies inching closer and closer and his hands started to move up and down her sides.



I know we are... we are the lucky ones.

I know we are... we are the lucky ones.

I know we are... we are the lucky ones, dear.



Jeff then leaned towards Isabella's ear and whispered something to cause her to start laughing. Bruce suddenly frowned, getting a little upset. He didn’t understand why he was feeling this way but there was just something about her. The Joker on the other hand angrily crunched his can of beer as he saw Jeff's hands move under Isabella's tank top to feel her skin.



The first time we made love, I... I wasn't sober.

(And you told me you loved me over and over!)

How could I ever love another, when I miss you every day...



Jeff looked up and noticed a Man with dark mid shoulder length curly hair was watching them, he then smirked and looked down at Isabella who was resting her head on his chest. "It looks like you have more than one admirer." Isabella looked up at him completely confused until he nodded towards the man who looked absolutely furious; Isabella looked over at him and felt a peculiar connection to the man. Jeff chuckled as he smiled down at her. "Looks like you have another one to mess with." Isabella stared at him distractedly and slowly nodded. "Yeah I guess so…," she said softly.



Remember the time we made love in the roses?

(And you took my picture in all sorts of poses!)

How could I ever get over you, when I'd give my life for yours.



She then looked back up at Jeff and smirked at him and started to sway her hips seductively slow, his hands holding onto them.



I know we are... we are the lucky ones.

I know we are... we are the lucky ones.

I know we are... we are the lucky ones.

I know we are... we are the lucky ones, dear.



My dear, It's time to say I thank god for you.

I thank god for you in each and every single way.

And, I know... I know... I know... I know...



Jeff then slowly turned Isabella around, so he could have her back up against his chest, both of them swaying in rhythmic motion as his arms wrapped around her waist. His hands slowly creeping under her shirt to feel the warmth of her abdomen, her shirt slowly riding up, as he slowly leaned down to act as if he was kissing her neck.



It's time to let you know. Time to let you know.

Time to let you know. Time to sit here and say...



She then slowly raised her arms up behind her to wrap around his neck as she closed her eyes and turned her head to side. Jeff slowly swayed their bodies to face Bruce. Isabella then finally opened her eyes, which were now glowing blue. She saw him still staring so she looked directly at him; she gave him a dark devious smirk, which caught Bruce off guard. She then looked back up at Jeff and smirked as she slowly turned her body around to face him and gently grabbed his belt loops and pulled him roughly against her. The Joker saw nothing but red as he watched her flirt with this man, and was figuring out a way that he would kill the man she was with if he started to get anymore closer to her. Bruce on the other hand was starting to grow more and more jealous of how she was allowing this man to handle her, all he could think of is what if he is using her and ends up breaking her heart, in a way that hurt him as well.



I know we are... we are the lucky ones.

I know we are... we are the lucky ones.

I know we are... we are the lucky ones.

I know we are... we are the lucky ones, dear.

We are the lucky ones, dear...



As the Song was slowly ending, they then broke apart and started to erupt with laughter, Isabella then gave Jeff a huge hug, he lifted her up from the ground, giving her a tight bear hug as they released each other, incredibly amused with what they just did, leaving the Joker and Bruce completely confused. Was this a game? Did she know they were watching? This completely shocked both of them.



Remember the words of ram dass: "death is like taking off a tight shoe."



Isabella then smiled over at Jeff. "Thanks Jeff that was fun." Jeff chuckled and quickly nodded. "Yeah it was!" He then looked over and saw that Mark was there and instantly waved to him and started to rush over to him; Isabella chuckled as she crossed her arms and slowly shook her head.



The Joker and Bruce arched their brows as they watched the man who was dancing with Isabella was now passionately embraced with some other guy. They both then looked back at her and saw that she was thoroughly amused, that concluded it, she was playing around but were they the ones she was playing with?



Just then, a loud bang was heard within the club, causing everyone to panic, Isabella quickly looked over at the door and saw a group of vampires walking towards the middle of the dance floor.



"No need to run… we're only looking for one person here, would any of you happen to know where I can find Isabella Raven?"



The leader said loudly for everyone to hear. Isabella sighed as everyone moved away from the group creating a large circle around them. She then gently walked towards the group, giving them a non-emotional look. "She's right here mate." She said loud enough for them to hear. The leader quickly looked over at her and smirked, his fangs appearing as he did.



"Ah Miss. Raven. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dontello Moriva, you killed my brother so prepare to die."



Isabella arched her brow at him and scoffed.



"Seriously mate? Could you come up with a better line than completely ripping off the princess bride?! Bloody hell that is just inconceivable."



She said, smirking to herself as she started to walk closer to the dance floor with her arms crossed, Dontello growled his fangs becoming more apparent. "When I'm through with you I shall place your blood in my chalice and drink every inch of it." He said darkly, Isabella stopped in her tracks and then started to laugh; Dontello looked at her curiously while she started to laugh even harder.



"Mate if I had a dollar for every time one of you gits says that to me I'd be a very wealthy lass."



She smirked; the Joker was thoroughly amused by her unaffected bravery while Bruce was actually deep down worried for her. Dontello sneered at her and told his three men to kill her, Isabella sighed as she cracked her neck side to side, and pulled out the stake she hid in the back of her jeans. She quickly leaned her back, when an incoming punch was coming towards her face.



Isabella stood straight back up slamming her fist against the side of the vampires face, causing the vampire to fall on his side. Suddenly, another vampire came right at her from the side and tried to punch her but she automatically caught his arm and quickly turned around and pulled his arm into a perfect circle causing the arm to unhinge from it’s joint completely the vampire bellowed in pain.



Isabella quickly kicked her heel cause a knife to come out and swiftly kicked the knife into the vampire's heart, which suddenly turned to dust. Isabella then turned around to make sure the people in the club were ok and saw two other vampires trying to make a couple of the people their snacks. Isabella then quickly ran up to one of them and grabbed one behind their neck collar and slammed him against the ground but then the vampire hit her behind her knees causing her to fall on her back and then suddenly the vampire was on top of her showing his fangs in a huge smile.



Isabella head-butted the vampire and lifted her legs up and lifted the vampire into a full tumble and ended up straddling his hips taking her stake and stabbing the vampire in the heart, causing him to turn into dust below her. Isabella then quickly got up and threw a shot glass she found on the ground at the last vampire yelling.



"Hey you stupid fanged git, I’m what you want."



The Vamp turned around and saw she was giving him a sadistic smirk. "Come and get me baby." she replied licking her lips at him. The vampire smiled and ran right after her and she quickly ran towards a wall with the vamp hot on her tail, she then jumped on the wall, did a complete summersault over the vamp, and quickly lifted her leg having her booted foot against the vamps throat. She then took the top of her foot and slamming his head to the other side causing the vampires neck to break and then suddenly the vampire turned into dust. The dust then immediately flew on her, Isabella sighed as she was dusting herself off muttering to herself



"Bloody ell! Don’t the bloody creatures even know how to stay clean?!, I’m always a bloody pile of dust when ever I kill em".



She said irritably and then turned towards Dontello. "Well mate it's just you and me." Dontello sneered at her but then started to run away, almost immediately as he turned around she was instantly in front of him, with her arms crossed and a conniving smirk on her face. "Going somewhere baby?" she grinned, Dontello looked at her in shock, completely speechless. Isabella suddenly looked extremely ticked off and quickly wrapped her arm around his neck, his back now facing her as her eyes started to glow and her fangs started to morph out, she then leaned towards his ear and started to whisper as she stared directly at Bruce.



"Ah sh, sh, sh. No need to struggle pet. Ya see yer brother was a very bad man… and as you know, I don't take likely to that sort of brand. But you on the other hand oh I have heard of you, and trust me your resume doesn't look that good either. Now… how can we fix that hm? Oh I know…"



She then allowed out a dark chuckle. "I know indeed." She then smirked towards Bruce as he was staring in terror as she gently kissed Dontello's neck and instantly sunk her fangs into him. Bruce instantly jumped up from his seat, about to go grab his bat suit until he saw her quickly rip away from Dontella and snapped his neck causing him to burst into dust. "Sorry pet, your blood was just not that tasty." She shrugged; she then looked up at everyone who was staring at her in shock and awe, she then shrugged her shoulders dusting herself off once again.



"Uh…you're all safe now… you can resume to what you all were doing."



Everyone then erupted with applause as she smiled and grabbed a napkin to wipe the blood off of her mouth and walked back towards the bar as the music started to play once again. Bruce immediately ran out of the club to grab his suit, he was determined to find out what kind of person she was, was she a villain or fought for the good? It just didn’t make sense and he was determined to find out what side she really fought on.



As Isabella walked back behind the bar, Ally instantly ran up to her and hugged her. "Izzy! Are you ok?" Isabella chuckled as she slowly broke her hold. "Yeah luv I'm fine. No hardships here, is everyone else ok?" Ally then nodded. "Yeah… but bloody hell the way you took all of them out amazed me!" Isabella then shrugged. "Not anything new, or different. I'm actually amazed everyone isn’t running from chaos." Ally then started to chuckle.



"You can be amazed how the patrons of Gotham are so used to chaos."



Isabella shrugged as she smirked over at her and started to get back to work, it seemed that everything was back to normal and everyone seemed unaffected by the recent event, which amused her very deeply. She just handed her customers last drink, looked up at the next customer, and smiled. She was a little taken a back at first since it was the same man who Jeff told her was watching her. She got to see him much more up close and saw that he had dirty blondish/dark hair mid shoulder length wavy hair; his eyes were brown but seemed vaguely familiar.



He had what looked like a Glasgow smile craved into his cheeks, and became very curious as how he received them. It was obvious that he probably never received any sleep since he had dark circles around his eyes, but from all and all she found him surprisingly attractive. The man gave her a dark smirk, his eyes lighting up as he looked at her. "Hello." He stated so simply, Isabella then smiled at him as she grabbed a glass and started to clean it with her rag.



"Hello, welcome to Club Trinity what can I get for ya?"



The man's smirk grew even wider as he crossed his arms over the counter and leaned towards her. "How about a Jack and Coke Doll?" Isabella couldn’t place her finger on it but he seemed so strangely familiar, it was almost as if she has met him before. She figured that she was just being paranoid and smirked over at him as she started to make his drink. "Good choice mate, that's my favorite drink." She smiled as she handed him his drink. The man nodded his dark smirk still on his lips as he took a sip.



"Make another one for yourself and place on my tab, you deserve it after that fight you've just been through."



Isabella then chuckled as she slowly shook her head. "Nah it's alright mate, I have all night to work off this adrenaline." She smiled, The Joker then grinned. "I gotta admit you're one hell of a fighter, where did you learn to become so quick on your feet like that?" Isabella shrugged as she grabbed another glass and cleaned it. "I had a trainer back in London who trained me to fight certain types of… creatures. It's nothing too big of a deal." The Joker then nodded, trying to pull off as being a regular person. However, all in all deep down he was just dying to rip her out of this bar and chain her to a wall and force her to tell him everything, but no… he figured that if he can get under her skin it would be so much more fun.



"So… obviously you're not from here, do you have any family or boyfriends back in Cheery old London?"



Isabella then chuckled. "No… not really, I really don’t have much of a family and no bloke would be crazy enough to end up with someone like me." The Joker then scoffed. "Well they're the one's who are crazy because if I had a chance to ask you out I would." 'Good, good try to pull off as normal as you can.' He thought to himself, no doubt he found her extremely attractive but business always comes before pleasure. Isabella smiled over at him and slowly shook her head.



"As sweet as that is luv, I don't really have time for a boyfriend."



The Joker then frowned, he noticed she was staring directly at him and immediately thought of his scars. She didn’t want to date him because she was disgusted with his scars and this only made his blood boil. "I understand, you really don't have to make anything up to me I know you're uninterested because of my scars." He said in a ticked off tone, Isabella's eyes widened and quickly shook her head.



"No luv, not at all… It has nothing to do with yer Glasgow smile, it's just… my life is just very complicated ya know?"



The Joker then arched his brow. "Glasgow Smile?" Isabella then nodded. "Yeah it used to be a form of torturing ones self or other by placing a blade into your mouth and cutting from side to side, giving you an eternal smile. It was frowned upon for a very long time but used to be a method to mark criminals back in the day where torturing was apart or teaching their criminals a lesson." The Joker was slightly shocked, yet amused by her knowledge. He never knew that she actually smarter than she looks and this enlightened him even more.



"Ah I see, that's actually very interesting, so I heard you're name is Isabella Raven? Correct?"



Isabella then nodded. "Yep that would be me. My friends call me Izzy for short though." The Joker then smirked at her. "Would it be alright if call you Izzy?" Isabella then smirked at him. "I don’t see a problem in it, but what would I call you? Lurky man who watches me dance with strange men?" The Joker's smirk then grew even wider. 'Ah she did see me.' he thought to himself, he was now even more amused.



"As much as that has a good ring to it, you can call me Jack… Jack Napier."



Isabelle nodded and held out her hand for him. "Well then Ello, I'm Isabella Raven." Jack then lowly chuckles, as he wraps his hand around hers, and shakes it. "And I'm Jack Napier, nice to meet you." Isabella giggled and was about to say something until Ally cuts her off. "Izzy! You can head out your shift is over." Isabella quickly looked over at her and nodded, and then looked over back at Jack.



"Well I'm sorry for the short end but I gotta head out."



Jack then frowned. "Oh… alright, do you want me to walk you back home?" Isabella smiled and softly shook her head. "It's not necessary; I'm more than capable of walking myself home." Jack then started to grow frustrated and thought he could charm her, but before he could convince her, she then gently took his hand and pulled out a black marker from her pocket and pulled off the cap with her teeth and started to write on his hand.



Once she finished she looked up at Jack and smiled. "Have a nice night Jack." She said happily, as she leaned down, grabbed her bag, and headed out the back. Jack was speechless at first not knowing what to do, he was furious with the fact that he didn’t get to find out as much as he could but then looked down at his hand and saw what she wrote. "If you ever want to contact me here's my number. (425) 343-4455." Jack then instantly grinned, now feeling completely accomplished by this night. He then took a final sip out of his drink and started to walk out of the club, oh yes tonight was successful and the other nights will be even more as he learns more and more about her.



XXXXXXX



As Isabella strolled down the dark streets, she was deep in though about Jack. He was just way too familiar to her and it irked her. He seemed very charming but he had a dark mystery to him, she was very confused by his demeanor and was even more curious as to how he received his scars. She knew that must be a touchy subject since that was his initial thought as to why she turned him down, but in all actuality, she has tried the dating bit while doing her work and it just never worked out.



However, there was something about Jack then intrigued her. He was not only mysterious but he seemed like he could read right into you, he knew what you were thinking and it surprised her that she actually had given him her number. Usually she doesn’t do that, nor would she ever think it, but as soon as he went off on the assumption she immediately felt like she needed to repair it.



Just then, a dark figure jumps down in front of her causing her to gasp and slightly jump. She quickly placed her hand on her chest when she saw that it was Batman.



"Bloody hell mate you can give someone a heart attack by just doing that!"



Batman looked at her sternly and started to talk in a low raspy voice. "I've seen you fight, and want to know what you're doing here." Isabella shrugged as she smirked at him. "Got a call from a friend, asked to come down here and help out with the city. Guess you're not doing a very good job mate." Batman growled as he roughly grabs her arm. "You're being here is much more involved than what you're saying." Isabella then chuckled. "Please, do you honestly think you can threaten me? You have your decision on what type of person I am already so why don't we just go from there and leave it." Batman then growled once again and slammed her up against the car.



"Bloody hell this city is insanely violent. Why can't people be civilized in this city!?"



She muttered agitatedly to herself. Batman then stormed up to her. "What is your true reason for being here?" He said menacingly, Isabella then sighed. "I already told you ya git! A friend of mine called me, told me that this city is undergoing through some chaos, and thought that I could be a help. All though I can't help whose side I choose to be in." Batman then became confused. "Obviously, since you have no problem killing people." Isabella looked at him for a moment and then started to laugh.



"Do you honestly think that!? You really think those were people that I killed? Bloody hell mate do you're homework before you start stalking and harassing someone! You have no idea what goes on in the underworld, the things that happen, the darkness I see. This is nothing compared to bored criminals sweetheart, this is a fight that I have been doing for years a fight I know I am going to have to do for the rest of my life. So instead of trying to figure out what I am and why I kill quote on quote people why don't you worry about the crime that is done on the real civilians and leave the supernatural underworld to me ok?"



Batman gritted his teeth and slammed her against the car again Isabella then started to laugh. "Do you honestly think thrashing me around, beating me senselessly will attribute to anything? Mate I've been through it all, I've suffered from pain that would be terrifying to even you. What you have to realize is that I'm a monster yes… that's true, but I'm also part human. I'm not always a dark creature mate, I do have a heart and I do know how to use it. But when people come in and start harming civilians then that’s what pisses me off, and yes sorry I stake the shite out of them! They deserve it! That's what I do. I'm not good nor bad, I'm what you consider a wildcard. I go both ways hence they reason why I'm incorruptible. Nothing affects me, I just do the job go home and get on with my life. So all in all the decision is up to you, you can decide whether I'm a little do gooder or I'm a dark evil bitch who wants to take over the world. That decision is yours." Batman then slowly lets her go, and they both end up hearing a scream.



"MY BABY!"



Someone shouted, Isabella heard the man's footsteps running up towards a building with a baby, she then quickly ran towards the sounds with Batman right behind her. The man had the woman's purse and baby as he quickly ran into an abandoned building; Isabella ran towards it with all of her speed and quickly ran after him up the stairs, Batman following in tow.



Once they made it up on the roof the man was instantly stopped by Batman, but he smirked when he saw Batman and Isabella standing side by side. He then quickly ran to the edge and threw the baby over the building. Isabella gasped and quickly ran



"TAKE CARE OF HIM I GOT THE BABY!"



She shouted as she jumped off the building, she was falling head first straightening her body so she could fall faster. She quickly grab a hold of the baby and twisted her back so her back was facing the ground and instantly landed onto the car as her arms were shot straight up hold the baby away from the impact. The mother screamed and quickly ran towards the car while Batman officially tied up the robber and made his way down the building.



Isabella sorely rose up from the car a nice long shard of glass impaled completely through her stomach. She wobbly and weakly walked towards the mother and smiled as she handed her the baby. The mother cried as she hugged the baby to her as Isabella felt vast amounts of blood leaving her body. Batman instantly appeared and handed the mother her purse. She instantly thanked both of them immensely and quickly made her way back home.



Once she was gone, Isabella looked over at Batman and smirked. "Well then… I guess I'm not as bad as you thought I was." She said with laughter in her voice, until she became increasingly dizzy and started to knock unconscious. Batman instantly caught her and carried her bridal style. His first thought was the hospital but then realized her heart wasn’t beating yet she was breathing. He then decided to carry her home.



Once he made it to her apartment, he gently pulled out the shard of glass that impaled her and saw that she was starting to quickly heal. Batman's eyes widened at this but then grabbed her first aid kit and slowly bandaged her up. He then pulled her shoes off and then gently carried her to her room and softly lays her on her bed and pulls the covers over her.



It amazed him that even after that kind of fall, that she survived it. He then gently smoothed her hair, she looked so peaceful when she was asleep and allowed out a soft sigh. She was definitely beautiful, Alfred was right on that, but she had her own mysteriousness to herself and that intrigued him even more about her. 'Maybe she isn’t so bad as I thought' he thought to himself. After all, she did save all those people in the club, and she was known to be a fighter for the people, but why was she here was the main question that was harboring him.



She obviously knows some people here other than her friend and must have associated with some people already but who, Batman wanted to know more and figured that he may find out more than he bargained by just suddenly appearing out of no where. He then decided to allow her to get some sleep, and check up on her tomorrow night.



After all, that was her day off and she probably will stay in for the night after her injury at least that is what he thought as he exited out the building and hopped into his bat mobile and driven off back to home.

A/N: So what do you guys think of the chapter? Should I continue? I know this chapter was kinda different, but I promise that it'll get better. I wanted to do a different twist with the Joker and figured that if he portrayed himself as to a more regular man to Isabella then he could get closer to her and learn more. Reason why he's so curious about her is because she's something he feels he can make as a tool for his benefit. Will there be Romance? Possibly, but we also have Batman who is starting to seek interest as well. This chapter wasn't meant for Izzy to seem kind of loose she is far from it, she since is different from a regular human being just has two sides to her. I'm trying to make her a very strong independent person, who found it comical that someone like Bruce Wayne who is a multi millionaire keeps staring at her almost expecting her to come to him, so her dancing with Jeff was her way of teasing Bruce of the ridiculousness of him just watching her instead of actually approaching her.



Reviews are greatly appreciated and help motivate me to continue writing. I cannot wait to hear from all of you soon, and if any of you have any questions or suggestions don't hesitate to ask. :)
