This world. This small world filled with heroes and villains. The weak and the powerful. Me? Well... I don't like to think of myself as a villain... but who doesn't like to bend the rules just a little?

"You must be The Joker." I smirk mischievously. "Tell me? Are ya funny?"

"Oh doll face, your little costume is adorable. I'm just not looking for auditions at the moment." He grinned with metallic lined teeth.

The rooftop had a chilling breeze that blew my auburn hair into my face. I wasn't cold despite wearing black shorts and slightly cropped crop top. My signature outfit.

The Joker however, was entirely different. He had his own gang, an unchallenged reputation, and the honor of being Batman's number one nemesis. He had distinct features like his slicked back green hair, numerous tattoos, and subtle clown makeup that made him look more menacing than funny. Still, there was something compelling about him that I just couldn't get over...
