Moving to Gotham seemed like a good idea for a fresh start. Moving in with her sister and her rich boyfriend Bruce Wayne also seemed like a smart idea, but what happens when Aria Brooks finds herself in a troubled Gotham ruled by ruthless and viciou...
Aria's P.O.V. Shortly after talking to Logan, Joker came back with three more men. He stops right in in front of me while I lower my head. Panic hits again as he grabs me by the arms, pulling me up to him as he turns me around so that my back is pressed against his chest.
"If you haven't-ah noticed by now, we have a guest. This.." He puts his chin on my head, inhaling my scent. "This is Ari-ah."
The men all just stare at me blankly and don't say a word.
"Ari-ah, meet James, Luke, Henry and you've already met little Logan-ah" I can't help but notice the spite and I wonder what Logan must have done to make Joker so angry, but his moodswings are so unpredictable that there probably is no particular reason.
"Hello."
Everyone just continues to stare at me and I can feel Joker growl behind me. "You've all got something on your ears? The Lady-uh said Hello."
The goons start to mumble their hellos, avoiding all eyecontact with us. Not that I can blame them.
Joker turns me back to face him. "I hope you've behaved well in my absence?"
"Yes, Sir." I immediately nod my head as he pulls me into the living room where the others have already made themselves comfortable.
Joker takes off his long purple coat and throws it on the armchair while letting himself fall onto the couch. He pats his thigh again gesturing for me to sit on the floor next to him.
Anger starts to built up inside me. Not only has he kidnapped me and most likely given me a concussion, but does he really have to treat me like a dog? However, I quickly remember who is standing right in front of me. Knowing that I have to play it save I take a seat next to him.
The news are on but it seems that the only one paying attention to the TV was Joker. The quality isn't necessarily the best, but it's good enough. The news are broadcasting a bank robbery where a school bus has been hijacked.
'Surely this must be the same robbery, Bruce and Elena told me about!'
"Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for the interruption, but we received a last-minute report that we don't want to withhold from you."
With the announcement, the transmission cuts to a tall, blonde woman.
"Hello Gotham. This is Vicki Vale and telling you how it really is, and I know exactly what's going on in our city."
The Joker and his companions burst out laughing. "Does she even know how to spell the word truth?" Henry laughs.
"Today, I *was* going to tell you all about our new elected district attorney, the charming Harvey Dent." A picture of Harvey appears on the screen.
"But the lates story is just too good, not to talk about and it's about non other then a certain clown himself."
Vicki reports as she turns circles around her head with her index finger. A picture of Joker appears
