Joker left my room leaving me standing there crying. I heard a knock on the door. "Come in" I said. "Can we please talk" dad asked calmly.

"Yeah" I said wiping my tears away. Dad sat on my bed and I sat next to him. "Why did he kiss you?" Dad asked. "I don't know" I replied.

"Has he hurt you or something?" dad asked. "No... Well not that I can remember" I replied. "How long has he been around you?" Dad asked. "At least three days" I replied

Dad gave me a hug. "I know it's not your fault but... I'm just scared he'll hurt you!" Dad said.

"Dad... At the party when he wispered something in my ear I told you I couldn't hear him... but actually he told me that he will never hurt me" I said letting go of the hug

"Then why did you lie" he asked. "Because I didn't want you to worry about me." I replied. Dad sighed looking around in my room spotting the cards. "Alfred told me of how he found them." He said walking towards my table with the card and letter on top

"Oh he did" I said. He just shook his head. "Are you working for Joker?" Dad asked facing me. "No never" I replied. "Okay then." He said "good night" he left.

I took a long bath trying to relax. After the bath I put on some nice PJs. I braided my hair and got my bed ready for sleep.

The next morning I woke up and it was Sunday. I went downstairs to get something to drink, Dad turned on the TV and there was breaking news.

"We interrupt this program with breaking news. The Joker robbed the city bank taking all the cash. Luckily Batman showed up and cought him. Joker is now returning to Arkham Asylum prison for good." The news reporter said

I looked at dad kinda angry and confused. He turned around looking at me. "He was robing a bank I couldn't just leave him there" dad said.

"I didn't say anything" I said. "Well the look you gave me did" he said. I didn't know what to think or what to do, the guy I love is in prison

I went up to my room and got dressed. I did my hair and got my stuff. I called an Uber to pick me up. "Where are you going" dad asked. "It's.. complicated..." I said leaving.

The Uber arrived and I got. "Arkham Asylum!" I said to the driver. After a while we got there. I went inside with Commissioner Gordon.

"Woah woah woah... What are you doing here." C Gordon asked stopping me. "I need to talk to Joker" I said. "Why" C Gordon asked.

"Please I just want to know something." I replied. He looked at me for a while. "Does your father know that you're here" he asked. "Yes!!" I said

"Fine, right this way." He said leading me. He showed me into a room, one like before. "I'll go get Joker" said leaving.
