6. Talia al Ghul

*~Alexandria~*

Two Weeks Later

It had been two whole weeks since I last seen or spoken to Joker and I think that he was upset that I declined his proposition. If we're being honest, I was kind of regretting my decision because I wanted nothing more then to see his face again. Those killer blue eyes. That pale white skin. It was like Joker had consumed my every thought and I wasn't feeling it one bit.

Stepping out of my bedroom, I was about to head downstairs for dinner, but I stopped when I saw my dad stepping out of his room. He was dressed up nicely, which wasn't unusual because he always dressed up like a million bucks, but I couldn't shake the feeling that he was up to something.

"Ah, there you are." He smiled, as I approached him. "I have a surprise for you, but first...I want you to hear this from me before we go downstairs. I reconnected with an old flame and she'll be here for dinner tonight."

"Oh really? Wait a minute...which flame are you talking about?" I questioned. He took a deep breath and at that moment...I went off because I knew exactly who he was talking about. "ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?"

"Alex, calm down."

"Tell me that you're not talking about Talia al Ghul. The freak that has a weird love obsession with her own father!" I spat. Talia is the daughter of super villain Ra's al Ghul and the last time she and my father dated, he found out that she was just with him because her father ordered it, and when he asked her to choose between him and her father...she chose her dad.

"Do not talk about her like that, Alexandria!" He said sternly, glaring at me. I knew that when he said my whole name, he meant business, but I was too mad and frustrated to care. He knew how I felt about Talia and yet...he was dating her again.

"She hates me and you know that! She almost ruined our relationship the very last time you both dated, so why do you allow her to keep coming back into your life?" He sighed and crossed his arms.

"Can you at least try to get along with her? For my sake?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and nodded my head.

"Fine. I'll be nice to her, but if she provokes me in any way...I don't want to be held accountable for my actions." I warned him.

"Spoken like a true Wayne." I heard someone say. I turned around and gasped when I saw my Uncle Robin standing at the bottom of the staircase.

"UNCLE ROBIN!" I squealed running down the stairs. I jumped into his arms and hugged him tight, laughing as he spun me around. Uncle Robin was literally the best Uncle anyone could ask for. He helped my dad and Alfred raise me, which I'm surprised I'm not a Tom boy, but whatever.

"Hey there kid. I heard you had a little accident the other day. Are you okay?"

"Never better."

"That's what I like to here. Don't let me find out that you've been racing and lost control." He murmured, eyeing me.

"Whaaatttt? Me? Racing? Puh-Lease!" I said, sarcastically. The doorbell rang and I rolled my eyes, watching as Alfred walked towards the door and opened it.

"Mistress Talia has arrived." He announced, as Talia walked into the house. Ugh, I really hate this bitch, but I was going to try and be nice to her for my dad's sake. It might not work, but whatever.

"You be nice tonight." Uncle Robin whispered in my ear. He hated Talia just as much as I did, which is probably why my dad called him over tonight.

"No promises, but I'll try my best." I grumbled. All throughout dinner, I quietly ate my dinner and listened to my dad and Talia talk and flirt with each other as if me and Uncle Robin weren't sitting across from them.

"So Alexandria...Bruce tells me that you'll be starting college soon." Talia spoke, putting her focus on me.

"Yep...a few more weeks, actually."

"Were you planning on moving into a dorm, or staying home with us?" She asked, making me quickly look up at her. Did this bitch just say us?

"Us?"

"US?" Uncle Robin questioned.

"Oh...honey you didn't tell them?"

"No, I didn't." My dad said, clearing his throat.

"Tell us what?" I asked.

"I'm moving in." Talia smiled. I furrowed my eyebrows and laughed a little, waiting on her to tell me that she was just kidding.

"You're kidding right?" My eyes darted back and forth from her, to my dad, and to Uncle Robin, who looked equally shocked.

"No Alex...she's not kidding." My dad said, clearing his throat once again. He only did that when he was put in an uncomfortable situation, and at this point in time...I knew his situation was about to get a whole lot more uncomfortable.

"No..." I began, laughing a little. "No, no, no...HELL NO! I refuse to stay here and live under the same roof as her! It's not happening!"

"I agree. You both just started dating again, what's the rush?" Uncle Robin chimed in.

"We're having a baby! Bruce will finally have a child of his own and we couldn't be more excited." She smiled. Did she really just say that? I scoffed and snatched my napkin off of my lap, slamming it down on the table as I got up and walked out of the dining room.

"Alex!" I heard my dad call out, but I ignored him. I stormed out of the house and got into my car, starting it up and peeling out of the driveway; heading to the other side of town.

Pulling up at the fun house thirty minutes later, I sat in my car for a minute and got myself together, before climbing out of the car and heading inside. I didn't even know if he was here, but I hoped that he was because I needed to see him.

"Who the fuck are you?" Someone asked, as a bunch of guns pointed in my direction.

"Where's Joker?" I asked, not caring that I was about to get lit up with bullets. I didn't care about anything at the moment.

"Who's asking?"

"I'M ASKING, NOW WHERE THE FUCK IS HE?!" I shouted.

"Put the guns down!" A voice echoed, as I turned my head and saw Joker emerging from the darkness. "Well, well, well...what do we have here? I didn't think I'd see you anymore, kitten. What can I do for you?"

"Does that offer still stand about me being yours? I mean...me joining you?" I asked him. "Because if so...I take back what I said before. I want in."
