Jinx rides the new hoverboard back to the portal where Joker and their henchmen army was. Joker was laughing when Jinx came riding in and came to a stop hovering above.

"Joker" she yells.

"Jinx. My precious I'm glad your alright. I was just thinking that I should have sent some search parties for you."

Jinx sceptical asks "So you were worried about me?"

"Yes, truly I was. I was starting to think you were gone to long and something had happened. But now I know your okay."

Joker comes and grabs Jinx in for a hug. She reluctantly puts her arms around him as she warmly hugs the Joker. Her mind was racing though as she couldn't stop thinking about what Batman had said.

Jinx backs away and takes a moment to gather herself. Joker looking concerned asks Jinx "Are you sure everything is alright? What can I do to help?" Jinx says in a calm voice "Well, I still have to barry my father and give him a reception..."

Joker interrupts Jinx saying "A ceremony in his in honor. How thoughtful. Well if that's what gets my Jinx happy then that's what'll get done. What your fathers name?"

"Silco" Jinx replys. The Joker smiles at her then turns to their army of men. "MEN, bring the body of Silco so we can give this man the proper barrial he deserves. Chop chop, move it before your all have nothing to move with, Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The men bring the dead body of Silco in a casket and lay him before Jinx and Joker. Jinx walks up to the casket as she looks at Silco laying there in peace. She puts her hands on his face as she shed tears.

Joker seeing how much Jinx cares for Silco puts a hand on Jinxs shoulder and says "He was important to you, wasn't he?"

Joker seeing how much Jinx cares for Silco puts a hand on Jinxs shoulder and says "He was important to you, wasn't he?"

Jinx wipes away her tears as she says "He was. He took care of me when I was all alone with nobody left. I did everything for him because he was my father, and I was his daughter. That was until he lied to me that my sister was dead. I confronted him and when it came down to it he didn't make the cut."

Joker thinks to himself as he sees what Jinx means. "I understand how you feel, I too had a companion once. She was smart and beautiful and madly in love with me, until she wasn't anymore. Once she saw the real me she betrayed me so I had to cut her loose."

Jinx hearing this asks "What does that make me then, a replacement?"

Joker looks at Jinx, but his smile disappears. He looks at her intently as he bend down right in front of her face. "Jinx, you are by no means a replacement to me. You are much more in my eyes. You are my partner and that means I see you as my equal. Harley was nothing, but a servant who was by my side at all times. Though she was never at my level nor would she be able to be anything more. And if she were to stand in my way or no longer fit my plans then she was to be cast aside."

Joker then looks at Silcos body as Jinx looks in the same direction. "You see your father was a strong man, but the moment he let himself get soft is when he became weak. That's when he adopted you, because your Jinx, and you don't live the name down. That's why you are more than a lacky to me because you are like me and so much more. So stop your pouting because you're perfect just the way you are. I promise to never to betray you or your feelings in anyway."

Jinx looks at the Joker as she now knows how he truly feels about her. With that confirmation Jinx's face goes from sad mistrust to stone cold. She rises to her feet as the Joker says "Now does anyone have something to say to honor the dead one here before his barrial."

A Joker goon puts his hand up and says "We're just lackeys. I thought we were special to ya boss."

"You are special because you work for me, because any who works for me gets the special treatment of not being caught in any of my jokes. So put a smile on that face or else. Now let's barry the man." the Joker says.

The men carry Silcos body to a place where they dig a hole in the ground. They lower his casket in as Jinx stands before everyone as she inhales and exhales slowly. "Silco believed that we deserved more than what we have. That we should not be here sitting in our own filth rotting away as those rich snobs of Piltover continue to progress without us. Well now it's time for us to take arms and show'em who we are. Silco believed that we deserved better, so if you believe that then we show Piltover that we deserve better. We will show them, we will them all who we really are. We are the nation of Zaun and we deserve a seat at the table. Now who with me" Jinx yells.

All the men yell as they held their fist up in the air. Joker laughed as he said "Now that was a speech. I think we should celebrate privately before we go to war, don't you think?"

"What exactly did you have in mind" Jinx asks.

"Ah ah ah, it's a surprise. Wait to find out. You trust me don't you" Joker asks Jinx.

Jinx nods as Joker takes her by the hand. Jinx looks one last time as the men begin to cover the casket with dirt as she sincerely says "Goodbye Silco."

Sevika stood by as Joker says "Sevika, you're in charge till we get back. Get the men ready and prepared to fight."

"Whatever you say clown. Alright, all of you get your buts moving. We need to be ready by dawn so get moving" Sevika shouts.

Joker and Jinx head back to Singed's lair. As they walk in he had a huge container of shimmer with loads of viles ready for transport.

"Singed ol boy, looks like you've been cooking something good in here. How is the production of the new shimmer going" Joker asks.

"It's ready I just need to put some more in these viles and it will be ready to transport."

Joker grabs a vile as he holds it to his face inbetween his pointer finger and thumb. He smiles as his reflection becomes distored by the punk liquid. "We'll be taking this one to go. You get the rest to our men and have you move it to our base" Joker says.

"As you wish Joker" Singed says.

Joker and Jinx arrive back to the portal where their men where getting armed and ready. "Sevika, Signed has some new shimmer that needs to be transported. Grab some men to transport it here and oversee that it gets done" Joker says.

Sevika smiles saying "It be my pleasure Joker."

"Where are we going" Jinx asks.

"To do some shopping" Joker replies.

They walk though the portal into Gotham. He and Jinx hijack a nearby car and drive right to a clothes shop. Joker takes him self a nice tuxedo while Jinx picks out an elegant dress. They both change and get back into the car and drive it right through the portal. All their henchmen were surprised by this as Joker nearly hit some of them. Joker opens the door and gets out as he says "Carry on." The henchmen do as told as they were bringing in the new shimmer Singed had made.

"Where are we celebrating" Jinx asks.

"The very place that the people in charge and responsible for this mess would be" Joker says as he finds a duffel bag in the truck of the car. He stuffs their original clothing inside as he puts the bag around his shoulder.

Jinx looks to the tower in Piltover that she blew up with her rocket. "You got the glide board you stole" Joker asks Jinx.

"Yes, why?"

"Because we are going to fly there. Now get one of those Hextech stones and one of your contraptions to use" Joker says.

Jinx grabs a Hextech stone from the portal and the mini machine she used to work the Hextech stone. They hop on the board as Joker flys them to the Council's tower. He lowers the glider to the floor as he and Jinx step off as she puts the stone into the machine. With it Jinx mimics the process to activate the stone and uses a new power. With it she reverses the damage done to the tower as it rebuilds itself in seconds. The Joker smiles as he stands by the stained glass window throwing his arms in the air as he enthusiastically says "Welcome to our new headquarters!"
