Alyssa sat looking out the window of her room. She wanted to make sure that the Joker didn't know she was here. In a way she felt safe here. A knock sounded at the door making Alyssa jump out her seat.

"Come in."

Bruce walked in with a tray of food that Alyssa had denied from Alfred. "You haven't eaten at all today." Bruce says sitting the tray on her beside table.

"I'm just not have hungry." Alyssa shakes her head sitting back down in her chair at the window.

Bruce pulls a chair up to the window as well, sitting beside Alyssa. "I beg to differ. You didn't eat dinner last night either."

"Do you know who I am?" Alyssa asked out of the blue.

Bruce nods his head. "Alyssa Foster. You be with the Joker."

"It was true. I was the Joker's girl." Alyssa sighs looking out the window. "It wasn't planned, it happened. One day I was minding my business and I bumped into him. I never saw myself becoming a villain. I always saw myself going to college or something." Alyssa turns to look at Bruce who is already looking at her.

"I wanted to run a business. A cafe shop to be exact. There I was at a club with my best friend. Dancing away like it was our last night. We just didn't know it was the Joker's club and my friend couldn't stop drinking. Her drink was spiked with something.

"Jenny!" Alyssa says walking into Jenny's home seeing her friend on the couch. Giggling Alyssa approached her friend. Crouching down Alyssa moved the hair out of her friend's face as her hand moved across Jenny's head, it felt cold. Placing her hand over Jenny's forehead, Alyssa pulled back from her cold friend. Placing her hand over her friends heart, Alyssa found her friends heart not beating.

"No Jenny. Jenny no." Alyssa cried hysterically over her dead friends body.

"I went back to the club that night hoping to find the guy who drug my best friend." Alyssa whips the tear from her eye.

"Did you find him?"

"I found the Joker that night. You could say something clicked in me. I fell in live but sometimes people fall out of love." Alyssa avoids his question for now. "You found me that night when I was running away from my problems. I don't wanna hurt innocent people anymore. Tell me..." Alyssa looks back towards Bruce. "Is that why you became Batman?"

Bruce looks towards her. "Yes." He grabs her hand and holds it in his.

"Help me. Help me become a better person." Alyssa says curling her fingers around his formed fist.
