tick. tick. tick.

Time flys by when you're having fun.

 But that's just it, I wasn't having fun, and this honestly had to be one of the longest days of my life.

It was the middle of June, yet it felt like December. Our boss can't stand the heat, so he pays hundreds, just to make it feel like winter.

I was an intern, working at Gotham national bank. Most interns didn't get paid but my mom worked there and talked to the man in control. She wanted me to work beside her but I was more interested in psychology and the human mind. So as a way to pay for college and work with my mom, I fetched coffees and did paperwork for the higher ups.

At the moment, I was sitting on my mom's desk as she typed on the mac computer that the company had provided her.

"Mom."

"hmm?"

"I'm freezing."

"Nothing I can do about that."

I sighed overdramatically, falling back onto her desk so that my head hung over the edge.

"But it's cold. I swear it'll start snowing if he turns that damn A/C up anymore. Can't you at least suggest he turn it down?"

She rolled her eyes and shook her head, paying me no attention. I looked at the clock, deciding to do my hourly run around the bank to see if anyone needed coffee. I skipped my mother however.

As I walked around the bank asking the employees if they needed anything my head jolted up as I heard sirens outside. I ran outside, being curious as always as I saw a neon purple sports car go speeding down the road almost crashing into a few cars.

Behind the car was a few cop cars and the batmobile. I didn't think twice as I ran inside getting my keys, jacket and motorcycle helmet and jumping on my red Kawasaki Ninja and chasing after the car and cops.

I had a thing for chases and since there hadn't been one in some time I quickly followed, soon catching up with the last few cops that hadn't crashed yet. As I road after the purple car, it took many sharp turns, causing countless crashes and I almost lost it. However, I was able to get right behind the infamous black batmobile that also chased the purple sports car.

Suddenly a figure appeared out of the side of the batmobile. I could only guess that it was the man himself, Gotham's hero, Batman. I never did like him though.

He sped up until he was right next to the purple sports car and jumped on making a loud bang. The purple sports car swerved, causing batman to almost fall off a few times. I sped up so I was right next to the car, looking inside. I couldn't believe what I saw.

The joker was driving with a girl next to him, she had the same pale skin as him and her hair was blonde with blue and red tips. It had curls at the ends of her hair and they bounced as she seemed to talk to the joker, laughing. She looked straight at me, rolling down her window with a gun in her hand.

"I hope you got insurance"

Bang.

She shot at my motorcycle but it missed, hitting the pavement. She made a mad face but didn't shoot at me again as she became preoccupied with shooting batman on top of the roof of the car. I wondered If I should do anything as I watched the fight. I decided against it though as i stayed a safe distance from the car, most likely stolen, that was being driven by criminals. The joker must've escaped from Arkham, as for the woman, I didn't know who she was, but she had terrible aim.

I followed after them until something unexpected happened. The door of the neon purple car opened and out tumbled the blonde, Batman following as the car suddenly stopped before starting back up again. I decided to stop following the maniac known as the joker as I saw the 'Leaving Gotham' sign. I stopped my motorcycle as I took off my red helmet, watching as the car sped into the distance, the sound of it engine slowly getting quieter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So um...yeah that's it. I won't totally be following the plot of the movie/trailers but i figured this would be a good scene to start off with. So our protagonist who is unnamed at the moment just had her first encounter with the joker. The next chapter will skip a few years to when our protagonist is done with college and starting her new job. ALSO NO, IM NOT COPYING HARLEYS STORY OF BEING THE JOKERS NURSE AND FALLING IN LOVE WITH HIM, ALTHOUGH THERE MIGHT BE SOME PARALLELS. 

Anyways, hope you guys enjoy, this is a really short chapter and they will get longer as the story progresses.
