lilith sinclair watched as 'The Great Jervis Tetch' hypnotises guests to do whatever he wanted. she ordered another glass and waited patiently whilst glancing back a the brown haired man on stage.
"thank you ladies and gentlemen, i am The Great Jervis Tetch, goodnight".
she starting clapping along with the other people as he walked of stage. after taking sip of her drink she felt someone staring to her left. lilith turned the see the hypnotist gazing at her.
"may i help you?" she asked.
"im ever so sorry, i didn't mean to stare. its just you y-ou look very nice." stuttering over his words
"thank you, mr tetch." replying with a smile
"please call me jervis," he told her.
"i must say you put on quite the performance, jervis".
"i try," he chuckled.
"i didn't quite catch your name."
"oh how rude of me, im lilith sinclair."
"what a beautiful name," he exclaimed
"thank you, i don't believe i have seen you before, especially in gotham".
"i actually just moved here, in search of my sister, alice".
"im so sorry, if you don't mind me asking, how long has she been missing?" she asked
"since we were kids she was taken maybe 10 years ago, she has a special gift, i worried that very dangerous people have her."
"if there's anything i can do to help find her, it would be my pleasure." she said placing her hand on top of his
"I'm afraid there isn't, but thank you for the offer. it think its best i leave, i have to try and find someone." he patted her hand, placed his hat on his head and began to walk off until he abruptly stopped.
"actually, do you know where i might find jim gordon?"
"i do, 246 Maxwell road." (im from the UK, so my apologies if i get streets etc wrong)
he turned his head in confusion and raised his eyebrow at the girl.
"he was an old friend of mine, but in recent turn of events, frankly i hate the bastard."
"well alright then, here's my card and i do hope to see you around".
"and i you".
he nodded towards her and walked out of the door. she quickly gulped down her drink her, and grabbed her bag before stepping into the elevator. she pressed the button and stood back in wait. as lilith waited she turned towards the mirror and stared at it fixing her hair.
"He'll find out"
"shut up," she hissed
'They always do"
"your not real, your just in my head."
"Listen, we may be in your head but we are as real as we can ever be. You'll hurt him, don't even try to act like you won't. You always end up killing the ones you love most. We both know that."
"Just shut up, you don't know who I am."
"Oh but we do, your a monster,"
"shut up"
"A lying, mother and brother killing monster."
"s said shut up!" she shouted slamming her fist against the mirror, smashing it to pieces.
she looked down at her hand, breathing heavily she slowly picked out the glass shards that stuck out of her flesh. The doors opened, stood them was three women and two men in business suits. They stared at the scene before them, glass shards scattered on the floor, blood dripping from liliths fingers. she simply flashed a quick smile, stepping over the glass she walked out and to her car.

"i m here to collect my order, by the name sinclair."
"Iihave it just here for you miss, won't be a second." she nodded and sat down in the waiting area until her phone started ringing.
"hello?" she asked
"hello lily," a slow voice spoke through the phone.
"who is this?"
"i think you know who," the voice replied.
"No I don't and I do not like playing games, so i suggest you tell me who the is" she said sternly.
a chuckle rang through her ears, and continued until the line was cut off.
"miss sinclair," a worker shouted holding a bag in his hand.
She got up and grabbed the bag, handing him a 20 dollar bill and she drove home. As she turned the lock to her house, she heard footsteps stop behind her. She turned around to see none other than Selina Kyle.
"What does she need now?" She groaned.
"She wants at the club at 9.30 sharp, so you got like 10 minutes".
"What does she want doing?"
"Hey I'm just the messenger, I'll see you around."
"Thanks," she shouts out.
She placed the bags on the table and decided to walk to the club. As she did her phone rang, she picked it up and pressed it up to her ear.
"Hello? I swear to god if your that guy from earlier."
"Lilith, it's Jim. I need your help." He said.
"That's very funny, no."
"Come on, I'll pay you, I just need your medical assistance."
"Can't you ask Lee?" She asked.
"Uhh no we not in a good place right now."
"Meet me at Barbara Keens club."
"Goodbye," she ended the call and opened the doors to the club. She found Barbara at the bar and walked towards her.
"You needed to see me."
"Well someone left this for you," She said handing a wrapped box to Lilith.
"Oh okay, thank you."
"No problem, anything for a friend."
"Please stay, have a drink," her boss insisted.
"Lilith Sinclair just the person I wanted to see."
