A 21 year old, Lizzy Hyde, moves back to her old home of Gotham. after being forced to move to London due to the mysterious death of her parents, she wants to come back to where she knows and loves. But when she comes back will her past come back to...
By the time we got home, it was twelve o'clock. I collapse on my bed as I try to process everything. "Lizzy?" I sit up to see Selena at the door and I sigh as I cover my eyes with my hands. "Tell me the truth Selena, what are you hiding from me? The thing that made jac...joker change his attitude." I look away as I almost say the name of the boy who was innocent and sweet, that monster had no right to that name.
Selena sighs and sits next to me. "Gotham's different now. Jacks different now. Ever since that night...." she looked away as she remembers the thing I've chosen to forget.
~Flashback~
It's the coldest night in Gotham, the sounds of the sirens catch my attention. More police cars come. I hug the blanket around me as I'm sitting on the end of an ambulance, covered in blood that is not mine. I look at the house I was raised in and a tear falls, it's the last one in my system. I've cried enough for both of my parents by now.
A young cop rushes out of one of the new cars that just got to the scene. He's yelling at some of the other cops and seems to be angry, I don't blame him. They aren't following there proper procedures for a crime scene, I should know I've seen enough. The cop sees me and sympathy fills his face. He rushes over to me but slows as he gets closer. In a raspy voice, he softly speaks to me. "Hey, I'm officer Gordon. What's your name?" My instinct is to be rude, he's just another worthless pig who probably helped with my parent's murder.
But I've heard of this man, he helped famous Bruce Wayne when his parents died and he's the only cop that isn't crooked. "I'm Lizzy, Lizzy Hyde." He smiles warmly as he sits next to me. "Hey, Lizzy. Can you tell me what happened?" Before I could say anything I hear cops screaming and rushing towards the woods. The next thing I know I see the one person I never expected to see around this situation.
The police are pulling Jack in handcuffs from behind the house. His hair is covering a bit of his blue eyes and his head is up high in what seems to be pride. That's when I notice, jacks shirt is covered in blood. I stand up, dropping the blanket around me completely, as he gets closer.

The cops talk to officer Gordon as Jack just looks at me. "J?" Is all I can say in a broken voice. He says nothing as he looks at me with empty eyes. I push him in frustration and screams out, "J!" He just stands there motionless and they carry him into the cop car. I didn't know it, but That would be the last time I ever see him for 6 years.
~End Flashback~
I sigh as I remember all that happened and cover my eyes with my moist hands. "He's gone to a life of crime, he's the worst one now. I'm sorry I took you there, I should have realized he wouldn't, like....well the memories." Cat rubs my back as I start shaking a bit and I nod my head. She kisses my head and gets up. "I'll leave you to sleep. Again I'm sorry." She walks out of the room and closes the door, within seconds I fall into a nightmare realm that I won't escape from for a while.
It's cold, colder than normal. The wind is blowing in my face and I look around to see where I'm at. I see skyscrapers around me and that's when I notice I'm not in my bed. As I finish looking around I realize I'm not alone. I see the man who I just recently was threatened by and a man I can't even make out. "Lizzy, this is your chance. It's either me or the freak!" J screams out to me and I stand there confused. The other person talks but it just sounds like mumbles. I look between the two and that's when the piercing blue of the eyes of the boy I loved catches my eyes. I feel drawn to him. That's when I feel the pain and register the gunshot I just heard. I look down, and there's blood pouring out of my upper stomach. I look towards j as he looks at me shocked. I reach for him and fall, into an abyss.
I shoot awake and clutch my chest as I breath harder than ever. I feel wetness on my face and realize I'm crying. I haven't had a nightmare that bad since I was sixteen, after...the incident. I get up out of bed and walk to the kitchen to get water.
I walk over to the huge wall that's just windows overlooking the city and look out over my home. I sip my water and look back to see Selena on my couch. I smile and walk over to her and cover her up but notices her bag and old instincts kick in. I walk over to the black leather bag and opens it. I see clothes which is normal and a few makeup supplies.
I sighed realizing I was snooping for nothing until I notice a secret bottom. I open it and go pale at what I see. A whip, a few other weapons and a leather outfit with a mask that resembled a cat. I gulp and picked up expensive jewelry that was at the very bottom. That's when I hear movement and quickly put everything back.
"Lizzy what are you doing? It's like 3 in the morning." I kick Salinas bag away and act like I was picking up stuff. " nothing just cleaning up. See you in the morning." I get my glass of water and go back to my nightmares.
