-----------------------------

Jerome and I walked into the apartment and noticed that Theo was talking to Barbra about something to do with Jim Gordon. When she left a few seconds after we walked into the room, Theo had noticed us and had also noticed that Aaron was missing.

"There are GCPD uniforms for all of you on your beds and there is a set of keys on Jerome's bed as he will be driving the police cruiser to the GCPD, to transport you. You will need to wait for Jim to get out of the building first, then you can attack." He informed us without much expression in his voice. I looked towards Jerome and shrugged, then walked to my secret room dragging him along.

"That mini speech you did in the truck was amazing. Theo has provided us with a camera so we can do a recording for the whole of Gotham, and I think you should do a speech on how they need to be unlocked from the cages in their minds called Sanity and Protection. They need to see the world and the people in it like we see them." Jerome spoke up once we reached my lab. "Sounds wonderful. I want you to keep a secret for me." I demanded when I unlocked the door. The curtain was still securing the secrecy behind it. "Anything for you darling." He replied. "Close and cover your eyes for me then." I pleaded and he did what I asked. I stepped inside the small space between the door and the curtain. I locked the door behind us and opened the curtains fully. I tapped Jerome on the shoulder, signalling him to open his eyes and his reaction was priceless. "Wha - What is this?" He stumbled over his own words. I was giggling to myself as he explored my lab. He came to my cabinet called 'Canisters'.

"What's in there?" He asked, pointing to the cupboard. I walked over and unlocked it to reveal my two toned grenades. "I'll show you in the GCPD. It's a surprise!" I announced and pouted a little. "What are they though?" He pondered. I couldn't physically show him because there was no one there. I sighed. "Give me a minute. You need to go get changed and meet me back here in 5." I shooed him out of the room and I went to the street outside the apartment. I saw that there was only a jogger on the street and I decided to wait for them to pass. Once they did, I went behind them and reached for his pressure point in his neck. He instantly dropped to the ground. I picked him up, flung him over my shoulder and went to my lab. I got one of the stools and sat him on it, his ankles bound to the chair by rope whilst his hands were behind his back and held together by some more rope. I heard a knock on the door so I went over to answer it. I unlocked the door to notice a person in GCPD uniform.

"Look at you, don't you look fine." I joked and let him in. I pointed him to the 'hostage' I had captured. "Try to wake him please." I ordered, no expression in my voice, whilst going over to a cabinet labelled 'Testers'. I had recently made some small batches and put them in this cupboard. I picked one that would give the man an quick but painful death. It would only take 5 minutes but it would be perfect for Jerome to see what I was working on. I heard a muffled scream and saw that the hostage had awoken.

"Hello there! My name is Jester," and with those words I let Jester take control of my body, "And today is your lucky day!" I giggled. "This is my boyfriend Jerome and you may recognise us as some of the Arkham Escapees, but enough of that and let's move on to why you are really here! You are here to," I gave a dramatic pause, "DIE!" I exclaimed with a sudden burst of laughter. Jerome caught on to the laughter too and we must have looked like plain idiots. The hostage looked at us. "Y-you're insane!" He screamed and I looked over to Jerome with a plain expression. I didn't like being called insane. I went over to stand in front of the guy and I undid his hands from the bondages they were held by. "Here have a sniff of this!" I said with a short burst of excitement. I was looking forward to seeing Jerome's reaction.

The hostage started coughing then that slowly morphed into laughter. A deep, bone-chilling laughter. His mouth got wider and had formed a smile that was not humanly possible to create. His eyes had leaked blood and soon he was crying blood. It was such a sight. After a couple of minutes laughing, the hostage's eyes widened and he was clinging to his chest. He was drowning in his own blood and was suffocating because of it. Suddenly the laughter stopped and he had no life in his eyes. They were wide and fear stricken. His mouth was the main event, it was curved into a smile that was larger than any smile anyone can muster up.

"Kira." I whispered and with that I was back in control of my body.

"Now that is something spectacular!" Jerome pointed out. I looked over to him and winked. "This is amazing. I have never seen results like that before. I mean I have only tried one of the non lethal ones before when Harvey was interrogating me at the GCPD, but this is incredible!" I said, mentally celebrating in my head. Jerome walked over to me and pulled me into a kiss filled of love and meaning. I wrapped my hands around his neck and he wrapped his hands around my waist. "I love you Kira. I really do." He said pulling away from the kiss but he still held me in his arms. "I love you too Jerome. It really means a lot to be with you in my life." I said before nuzzling my head in the crook of his neck, pulling our bodies close together. We must've stayed like that for a good couple of minutes before there was a knock on the door. I pulled away but intertwined my fingers with Jerome's hand. We got to the little platform and I pulled the curtain around us to conceal this secret. I unlocked and opened the door to see Theo glaring at us.

"I heard screaming then laughter. What is going on and why are you not ready?" He inquired me. I rolled my eyes and then pulled back the curtain in the dead mans direction. "I tested one of my batches out on a stranger. Don't worry, he's dead." I sighed. Theo looked impressed at me and walked down the hall. I locked the door and headed to my room, dragging Jerome along. I unlocked it and walked in, noticing the same uniform that Jerome had on, was on the bed. "Stay here, mon cherie, whilst I go get changed." I instructed him and he plopped down on the bed. I quickly got changed and eyed my self in the mirror before re-applying the makeup I had on earlier. I put my hair up into a bun and put on the cop hat before walking into the bedroom to see Jerome checking himself out in the mirror of my vanity desk. I cleared my throat making him look at me like I was the queen. He came over to me and pecked me on the nose.

"Now, I would love to be arrested by you." He joked when he pulled away. I playfully slapped him on the arm and got my other pistol out of the locked draw in my vanity desk. I handed it to Jerome. "Here," I said whilst handing him the gun, "it's just in case you are stuck in a situation with out me being there." I said before walking to the door. 'I just hope nothing goes badly.' I thought. Jester was behind me all the way and she was my back up in case things did get a bit hectic. "Kira, wait for me!" Jerome exclaimed as I walked out of the door.

We reached the garage entrance of the building and I noticed 2 police cruisers. One was for Jerome, Greenwood and I, as Aaron had already set off with Barbra, and the other must have been for the backup we hired. I got in the front passenger seat, Jerome got in the front and Greenwood got in the back. Jerome led the way to the GCPD and parked across the street from the entrance. We were able to see Jim leaving the precinct and follow Barbra down an alleyway. This was our cue to take over the GCPD.
