Kitty's POV

 Eight states, ten cities each including autograph signings, photo shoots and meet & greets all in one tour with very little breaks. I love my fans and meeting them, but sometimes a girl just needs a break from show business, except the percentage of that happening......ZERO! Rubbing my temples to calm an on-coming headache while watching the night life scenery that my tour bus passed as we drive from town to town for my performances. "Kitty, baby, this tour is becoming more and more of a success than I- uh I mean we ever imagined," Robbie, my manager, said as he was going through the this month and last month's profit numbers from my shows "Think about it, soon everyone in THE WORLD will know your name, not to mention Glam Stones Record Company,"  Robbie jumped up at the thought than again that's all it meant to him: Fame, Glam and Money.  "Yeah Rob, sure," I said not trying to hide the monotone in my voice, "Alright Kid, what is it? You only get this way when your upset and I don't, not to sound rude, need you to be upset right now," the sound of his foot tapping meant he was getting irritated, giving a sideways glance in his direction before breathing out a sigh "Look Robbie, I love doing shows, meeting fans and all, but dammit I need a break please just to rest and relax for a few days, we have been on the road for months, MONTHS!," I exclaimed leaning back into my couch.

"Relax, there is no time for that, we have the next show in two weeks, and we can't dilly dally on something that will waste time-," he was cut off by his phone ringing than he disappeared to the back where the other rooms are to chat. I continued to watch building after building that go by as we drove till Rob's voice started yelling "WHAT!? really of course---no we have nothing scheduled for the next few months when do you need us---HOW MUCH!? We'll be there in three days! No thank you!" oh no, I think I'm getting a migraine again, I noticed Robbie came back with the biggest smile on his face "Alright kid I'm going to make you a deal it involves ONE show, a few signings and photo shoots than after that no more shows and you can be off for the next three to four months, sound good?" Robbie said in a mischief tone.

"Too good, what's the catch?" I asked with a stern look than he let out a sigh "The show is Gotham City and it's for about a month we will be there, they would pay handsomely for you to perform than after you are free of work for, like I said, three to four months maybe more if it goes well," What he just said was very concerning since Gotham is known for some of their more eccentric and dangerous  citizens, but if it means I can get a break from tours than hallelujah!  "Alright Robbie, we got a deal," and with that we shook hands,

No One's POV

It was fairly decent evening at the Iceberg Lounge, some of Gotham's rouges were actually enjoying the evening all except one, Jervis Tetch known as The Mad Hatter sat alone at the bar drinking a long island iced tea with sad look on his face, which seemed more heartbroken than sad. "Hey Jervis what ya doing over all by your lonesome?" red and black is what Jervis could see from the corner of his eye knowing the jester was there "I--I just want to be alone right now, miss Quinn," he said in a unfeeling tone, Harley took noticed since no matter what the situation the Hatter was always in a cheerful mood "Jervis, what's wrong ya don't seem to be your usual Hatty-self, you're not being frabu...fraj..um," Harley trailed off trying to figure out the usual wonderland-like word he always used "Frabjous?" Jervis corrected Harley, who beamed a little glad he said the word but frowned when he still wasn't cheery. Seeing as she won't be leaving anytime soon, Jervis let out a sigh "If you are really curious about why I am not in a frabjous mood Miss Quinn, it is because I have nothing to be frabjous about."

Jervis pushed his drink away and stared at it with a lonely stare, that's when Harley started to connect the dots "Oh ya still thinking about the blondie huh?" Harley's only answer was a short nod and a heavy sigh "Well there are other fish in the sea, you just need to find them or have them find you," rubbing his back with a comforting smile the Hatter couldn't help growing a small smile on his lips at the bubbly she-clown. Removing himself from the stool with coat in hand, Hatter straightened himself up and bid Harley a good night than made his way home for the night before the Jabberwocky could spot him.  As he made it home, Jervis got himself ready for bed, but slumber couldn't be found as he kept staring at the ceiling wondering if there will be any chance of him finding love in this lifetime. The next day was no different aside from having his afternoon teatime and working on his mind control chips, there was nothing left to do besides have tea and sit in utter silence, until the front door slammed open making the poor scientist jump up from his seat and spill his tea, "What in the world!?" Jervis exclaimed sitting up from the floor only to see Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy and 'ugh' The Joker in his doorway. "Sorry to bust in on ya Hatty, but my Harley girl needs your TV or computer," said the joker said, the poor hatter hated uninvited guests especially clowns, "Need a hand Jervis?" Johnathan asked with his mask in hand and stretching the other out to him which he gratefully took to get back up " Thank you Jonathan, what in the world are you all doing here and why do you need my television for?" Jervis asked in a huff giving everyone a once over till Ivy spoke up "Harley heard that a hip-hop star was coming to Gotham and she is a huge fan, as for the tv, she wanted to catch the first glimpse of her the moment a camera landed on the pop star, I didn't have one neither did Jon."
