Hound Town

[Hound]

Character Name: Jessica Blake
Codename: Silver Witch
Description:
Age: 31 (She doesn't age, she looks about 20)
Gender: Female
Height: 5'4”
Weight: 220lbs (She appears small and skinny, but metal is heavy)
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blonde



History:
Jessica specialises in espionage, stealing documents, secrets, plans, or anything else for whoever can pay the most. She has even unofficially worked for the United States from time to time. Normally she isn't the type to try and take over the world, or ransom the moon, but she has worked for these types from time to time.

Jessica's powers manifested when she was 15. She was getting dressed for her first big date with a boy she'd liked for years when she noticed a pimple on her chin. It was tiny, barely noticeable, but you know how girls panic. She began to worry, and focus on it, the stress triggered her meta-powers. The zit began to grow before her very eyes, becoming as large in reality, as it was in her mind.

She was mortified she began to wish she was someone else, anyone else. Jessica suddenly chose one of the popular girls she always dreamed of being. She thought about how that girl never had these worries, she was always perfect. Her desire to be her was so great, she suddenly morphed into the girl. Needless to say Jessica began freaking out, but quickly calmed down as she realised the powers she possessed.

She could be anyone, be anything. Jessica could have the perfect body, the perfect teeth, yet she had not yet begun to comprehend everything she could do.

Over the next few years she practised, trying to learn the full extent of her powers, she was living liquid metal that could take any form or colour. The only draw back she found was now that her powers were realised, she melted into a puddle when ever she slept, forcing her to keep a bucket near her bed.

When it came time to get into College, she found out her parents didn't have the money to send her, she would have to take out a huge loan that would require her to pay it back for the next twenty years. Blinded by her own power, she decided to steal the money instead. While her robbery was nearly perfect, she drew the attention of a well known super villain. (I don't care who, GM can pick some of interest to the story)

The Super villain recruited Jessica, he taught her more about her powers than she ever dreamy possible, and he taught her how to do more than just steal a few thousand dollars from a local bank. After a few years, she began doing solo work for anyone who could pay, becoming an independent Villain, this has cause some animosity with her teacher, who felt her powers should belong to him solely.

PL11: 195 Points
Complications:

Enemy: (To be determined by the GM) The super villain who taught Jessica her full potential, and gave her the contacts to the underworld. (S)he feels scorned, and believes her and her talents should be working for them, not anyone else.

Sense of Honour: While she steals anything from anyone, she is not an assassin. She has killed and will kill to complete her mission but avoids it when possible. She especially tries hard to avoid killing children.

Motivation(Greed): Everything she does, she does for money. She only works if the price is right.

Metal body: She is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat, but she is not poisonous to any human who touches her. She is not magnetic, she does not eat, sleep, or age. When she rests, she needs to do it in a bucket, because in a relaxed state she becomes a puddle.

Weakness [ Nullified Morph]: While Jessica does not need to sleep, she does enjoy resting. However while resting, she is a shapeless puddle, which means she tends to "nap" in a bucket. If her morph power is nullified, she is forced to become a shapeless puddle that can not make attacks. She can still move using her slither and wall crawl ability, and she can do very, very simple tasks, like pushing a single large button.

Currently in his "arsenal," is a Great Horned Owl, a Great Silver Back Gorilla, a Bull shark, a Wolf, and a Raccoon.

Complications:

Animal Instinct: Dan follows his gut and his emotions, trusting people on their smell alone. Sometimes this means he leaps before he thinks, and he gets burned by those he chooses to trust.

Hates Guns: As a principle, Dan will not use a gun, and finds their use cowardly.

Hunger: Dan is always hungry. Always. He assumes it has to do with his powers, but he doesn't know for sure. As such he often takes silly risks just to eat. Under gun fire? Should run away? Not while a chocolate bar lies defenseless on the floor! Don't worry little Chocolate bar, Dan will save you.

History:
Dan lead a pretty uneventful life. His father never beat him, his mother never emotionally damaged him. He was middle of the pack for grades in school, didn't have any bullies, had a few girlfriends but was never overly popular. He never went to college. He began working straight out of school, taking on a lot of part time jobs in go-no-where places. He tried dozens of jobs, nothing ever seemed to fit. He was always strapped for cash.

The only thing he did, that he was any good at, was take mixed martial arts classes, and stay in shape. Yet even that, Dan never took to seriously. He never entered a real match, and he never got in a real fight outside of a gym sparring match.

He was a complete average Joe.

At the age of 22, he had no career aspects, and no goals. He lived in bachelor apartment, working as a bartender, barely making rent, with no girlfriend, and nothing to really live for. He only worked to exist, and all he did in his existence was work, sleep, eat, and take drunk girls home with him.

Truly unremarkable.

Yet one day it changed. A stray dog happened to be sleeping on the steps of his apartment when he left for work that day. Unconsciously he patted the pour mutt, and tossed him half a sandwich he happened to have in his pocket. Such an unremarkable event saved his.

Much later that day, after work, Dan was closing up the bar, per his usual routine when a knock came at the door. Through the window, Dan could recognize a regular, a man he had know for months. With out thinking, Dan let him in, only to be met by a gun. What Dan did not know, was the man had been fired earlier that week.

With out thinking, Dan lunged at the man, but something was odd. Dan was not himself. Dan had become a dog, and instinct took over. Dan the Dog, sunk his teeth deep into the wrist of the man, forcing him to release his grip on the gun. Panic stricken, the man turned tail and ran from the bar.

It took Dan hours to figure out how to turn human again, but when he finally figured out the trick to transforming, he realized, he was no longer average. He was super.

The next day he went down to pick up a form, but then the DVD arrived...

Complications
*Bones*
Jack is actually dead, he is ghost, turned spirit of Malice and Violence. There are two ways to permanently destroy a Spirit, either through magic, like an exorcism, or through burning their corporeal attachment. This can be a special item or remnants of their body. For Jack, it's his bones, which he keeps locked away from the world.

Jack has sealed his bones away in his secret base, in an air tight place to keep them from decomposing, and to keep them protected.

The GM can introduce characters who have the ability to Divine the location of his bones, presenting a great risk to Jack.

*Nickname*
Due to the fact he is Irish, short, and wears only green, many people call him a Leprechaun as an insult. Jack hates this. People who call him by that nick name, or anything along the lines of short, tend to die very gruesome deaths.

*Smell*
Jack has a faint smell of sulfur about him. Common people only notice it when they are with in a few feet of him, but for those with super smell, it's pretty obvious. This can give him away when being invisible.

History:
Jack is the original Boogey man, the monster that goes bump in the night. For over three hundred years, there have been reports of him travelling the world and butchering people. He likes to get creative, making people die in strange and unique ways.

His trade mark is making a smiley face with the blood of the victim somewhere. One of his favorite things to do, is make sure there is a living witness to the carnage, so that they can spread the word of his actions.

The survivor, if you could call it that, always tell the same thing, "He laughed as he did it, he told terrible jokes, laughed, and looked like he was enjoying a beer at the pub, surrounded by friends and family. He looked so... happy."

But then the world began to change, the game changed. So Jack had to change with it. He was no longer on the run from men with torches, and pitch forks. Now he was on the run from men who could fly, punch holes through walls with their bare fists. These men could have bullets bounce off their chest, ear glass for dinner, and crap lightning and thunder!

Jack loved it! He loved the challenge. How do you hurt men and women who are invincible?

You hurt their lovers, their family, their friends.

You burn their world around them.

Complications:

Regret and Misplaced Anger: Her dream of the Olympics were shattered, she will never achieve her dream and this weighs heavily on her mind. Her entire child hood was a giant waste. She is angry at the World for not letting her compete just because she has powers, she is angry at her powers for appearing before she could go, and she is angry at herself for wasted effort.

Over confident: She is extremely powerful at only age 18, and it is believed she will only get stronger. A combination of success in the field, and fame have gone to her head. She has a hard time listening to the ideas of others, thinks her way is the best way, and leaps in before accessing the entire situation.

Fame - No Secret Identity: She is well known to the public. She made a big splash in the media when she first appeared and sent hundreds to the hospital from an unintentional psychic attack. Thankfully no one died or was seriously hurt. It cause a huge backlash against the mutant community causing normals to fear them even more. The UN decided to fight fire with fire, once she had learned to control her powers, they forced her into the lime light to show the world that mutants should not be feared, and can make their powers work for the world, not against. She has become a poster child for mutant/human relations. If she makes mistakes, it reflects badly on the whole community. She is never off the clock. This causes lots of stress.

Inexperienced with Life: She has spent most of her life training for one thing or another. She has never had much of a chance to live a normal life. She makes simple mistakes when it comes to interacting with others, simply due to limited experiences. This most commonly pops up when she is around young attractive men close to her age. Having never had a boyfriend, kissed, or gone on a date, she has no experience and becomes uncharacteristically shy and nervous.

Jennifer had always had a passion for gymnastics. When she was barely old enough to talk, Jennifer had seen the Olympics on television and begged her mother to take lessons. She had seen how normal humans, just like her, were able to go so high, and do such amazing things. They seemed to float in mid air, the closest thing for a normal human to fly.

When she was thirteen she was well on her way to being chosen for the next summer Olympics when she started getting headaches and nose bleeds. Jennifer was scared if such a thing became known, she would dropped from the selection, so she hid her pain and pushed through.

For two years she worked through the pain, she carefully hid her nose bleeds, and progressed through competitions. When she was fifteen, and getting ready for the big contest, the one to select the next American Representatives, it happened.

Maybe it was stress, maybe it was fear, maybe it was simply bad timing. But all at once her powers manifested, she began hearing the other girls thoughts. At first she thought she was going insane, but she would not let it stop her.

She took to the stage and began her routine. She could hear every mental criticism from the judges, but she pushed on until her headaches grew unbearable. She closed her eyes...

When she opened them, she was on the ground, she had, had no idea that she had been screaming bloody murder for the last ten minutes. Yet no one was at her side. No one was checking on her.

Jennifer stood up and found every man, woman and child in the arena was stunned, and asleep...

After calling 911, and speaking to dozens of police officers, she was approached by federal agents. The took her away with out so much as a word.

Later Jennifer learned she was a mutant, a powerful psychic. She was trained by the United Nations to be a soldier, to work for the greater good. She didn't have much choice in the matter, and her dream of the Olympics were forever shattered.

She is less than pleased.

Complications:

Secret: In the Guild of Thieves, no one uses their real name, Cade's code name is Raven. While he must protect his true name from other members of the Guild, he must protect his Guild name from "norms." No one is allowed to know he is a guild member, any one who learns such information must meet a swift end.

Calling Card/Wanted: When ever Cade commits a grand solo caper, or assassination, he leaves behind a single Raven feather. As such, several high priced bounties are on his head. Another good reason for his secret.

The One Upper: Cade and normal people do not think the same. When others say "That looks dumb and dangerous, I'm not doing that." Cade says, "Cool, I wanna try!" (When someone other than Cade performs something dangerous, like swinging over a pit of spikes from a thing, fragile wire, Cade will automatically try to imitate and try to do it better. Cade can overcome this urge by rolling a Will check of DC 16, otherwise he must do it, even if it is likely, or certain, he will die.)

Random Liar: Some people lie to get what they want, but some people simply lie because they can. Cade will lie about the silliest things.

Exile: Cade broke the Underhill law, and can never turn home.

History:

Cade Underhill was born under a hill. Not a tiny little speed bump of a hill, but a massive hill, so large, one might even call it a small mountain. Under this hill is home to hundreds of Halflings, each one a member of the Underhill clan, though not all called Underhill.

Every halfling child born under the hill learns that the Underhill clan strongly opposed the start of the Last War, they pleaded with every major power, begging them remain at peace, to talk things out. They sent gifts, envoys, and ambassadors to try and calm things down. Yet when all attempts failed, and the great war loomed on the horizon, the Underhills lead dozens of Halfling families underground to avoid destruction.

The Underhills were elected Mayor of the community they built, and over time, through marriage all the families joined as a single clan, deep under ground, where they remained untouched by war.

At first, many members of the clan would venture out from time to time, to trade with the outside world, to learn how the war was progressing, yet as the war grew more violent, fewer Halflings would return safely to their burrow, or at all.

One, a captured halfling was forced to tell where the Burrow was, and several raiders tried to plunder the unspoiled home of the Underhills.

Without any fighters, the Underhills were forced to collapse their original tunnel, killing many of their own, and the raiders before they got to the main town. It took years for a new entrance in a new secret location to be build, but it was decided that no one would venture out anymore.

t was decreed a law, that no one would leave the burrow, with the except on for a few scouts, trained in the art of stealth, would be allowed every ten years to check out the progress of the war, under law to not be seen by anyone.

These scouts were even secretly entrusted with suicide potions, magically hidden inside hollow teeth so that no one could torture their home's location out of them.

Many of the older Halflings found it difficult to adjust to never seeing daylight again, yet the fear of death allowed them to follow the law. The children, who had never seen the outside world, were filled with nightmarish stories, to keep them fearful of the outside world, so that they would never try to break the laws.

Yet one young Underhill, by the name of Cade, a direct descendent of the head family, did not frighten so easily. In fact, the more gruesome the story, the more he seemed to enjoy it. While the other children played with their pet bunnies, and peaceful board games, Cade would fashion wooden swords, and pretend he was a great warrior of the human race, fighting the brutal war.

At his coming of age ceremony, at the age of 13, he was given the choice on what job he would apprentice at. Cade was not the oldest son, so he could not train to be the next Major, many family members encouraged such trades as Tailor, Miner, Badger Hunter, or Mushroom farmer, yet he ignored them all and chose to be a Scout.

It took much convincing and arguing, but Cade was eventually accepted, and trained in the arts of Stealth. After five years of training, he was finally allowed to test his skill in the real world. He, along with three other scouts went to the outside world. There task was to test Cade, and obtain a news parchment detailing recent events.

Cade however had other plans, at the first opportunity he ditched his fellow scouts and ventured off on his own. The outside world was everything he dreamed, the sights, the smells, the funny clothes. He loved it all.

With out any other means, Cade put his stealth skills to good use and stole to earn a living. Cade had a natural affinity for stealing, and on the rare occasion he was caught, he was small and nimble even to run away. Yet one day he stole from the wrong man. A human dressed all in black.

Despite Cade's best efforts, the Human eventually chased him down, over roof tops, through back yards. No matter what Cade tried, the human was always right behind him.

After a sound thrashing, the human dragged Cade away. Cade expected to be killed, or handed over to the law, but instead, the Human took him to an odd little bar. Once inside the bar, he was thrown to the floor. A Goblin laughed, and asked the human, 'Who is this?'

The human smirked and replied, 'New recruit.'

Cade's name was stripped from him, he was renamed "Worm" and forced to train hard.

After four long years, when Cade was 22, he was finally accepted as a true member of the Guild of Thieves.

When he was asked what his new name would be, Cade thought for a moment. Over the last four years, he had done many gruesome things. He had cleaned many horrendous things. The one thing that had always cheered him up, was when he looked out the window, and saw the Ravens flying in the skies, unchained, soaring on the wind.

They had become Cade's definition for freedom.

"Call me, Raven."

Character Name: Katie Wilks
Description:
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Height: 5'5”
Weight: 110lbs
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black


History:

A month ago, Katie's only worries included which college to go to, what major to take, and what not to wear. She was an average student with barely average grades, working at a crummy hostess job... But Katie is not normal.

When Katie's mother was still pregnant, she and Katie's father fell ill to the virus, and both perished to the virus. The doctors did not expect the child to survive, yet despite being several months premature, the child survived, and was cut from the mother. She was adopted by a loving family, whom knew the risks that the child might die during puberty, or manifest powers, yet no one told Katie, and the virus never seemed to awaken.

One Saturday night, after a closing shift at the dinner, it all changed. Katie was walking home when a drunk driver lost control and slammed into her, pinning her to a wall. When paramedics arrived, they realized the car had crushed everything from just below the rib cage down, however the pressure was keeping her alive. She was still awake and lucid. Her adopted parents came and comforted her as the paramedics explained that when they moved the car she would die. The entire time she was pinned she kept complaining about how deafeningly loud, how brilliantly bright, how pungently strong everything was. The paramedics attributed it to her massive injuries.

When the time came, the paramedics moved the car and everyone stood back, expecting Katie to die instantly. Yet Katie did not die. Before the very eyes of paramedics, police, firefighters, and her adoptive parents, Katie's body began to reassemble it self. In a matter of moments, Katie's lower torso which had looked like a can of spilt 'Spaghetti Oh's' had reformed into her lower torso and legs. Not a single scratch, or bruise remained.

A few weeks later, a very expensive black car rolled into Katie's driveway...

Complications:

No Options: All the colleges denied her entrance, while it was never out right said, it was heavily implied it was due to her being an Ace. With no other career prospects, she has agreed to appear on Reality Television...

Claustrophobia: Ever since her powers manifested, she has begun to feel extremely claustrophobic in places she use to feel comfortable in. She feels most at ease in nature, despite previously never going camping or hiking, ever before.

Family: Katie loves her family, and fears for their safety.

Complications:

Thrill of the Hunt: The third Joker causes crime not for wealth or fame, but for the challenge. To do battle one on one with super heroes. But like the past jokers, he doesn't set up elaborate traps, he just kills with his bare hands.

Likes being Watched: He prefers an audiance to witness his battles. Fighting in small little room with no witnesses is hardly fun, or thrilling. Even if this increases his chance of capture.

Let's the Fruit Ripen: If a new, young super hero appears with the potential to be a "Great" one day, the Joker will often let them live, even going so far is to kill other villians, or let himself be captured, just so he can one day fight them at their best.

Bomb Collar: His "insurance" is strapped around his neck to make sure it kills him if it goes off.

Bat Family: A real abusive love/hate relationship there.

Bio:
The original Joker fought tooth and nail with the original Batman, racking up a considerable kill count. He loved going one on one with the caped crusader. It was a true pleasure, a joy, a wonder. Man vs. Man, Chaos vs. Order, it was always a barrel of laughs for the Joker.

But things change, people get older. The Batman got himself a side kick, a kid named Robin. Suddenly it was two vs. one. The Joker was not impressed. Sure Joker had his minions, but they weren't the same. Batman and Robin were like... Father and Son.

The Joker was jealous. Like a child throwing a temper tantrum he went out and found his own boy wonder. He plucked an orphan off the side of the road that had a talent for gruesome things, like torturing small animals, and made him his protege.

The Joker wasted no time throwing the kid in a vat of Acid to make him look just like dear old Daddy Joker. He promptly named him Junior and taught him the tricks of the trade.

As Joker and Batman got older, and retired, Robin and Junior became the new Batman and Robin, fighting the same war their adoptive fathers started. But the new Joker took things to a whole new level.

The Second Joker killed the new Robin, he paralysed and raped the Commissioners daughter, and committed other deranged crimes that could make his adoptive father blush. But still that wasn't enough. He used his oddly charismatic personality to capture the heart of a young Criminal Therapist, Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel. He twisted her mind, and made her sympathise and even love him.

She became his partner in crime, Harley Quinn. Together they grander and more deadlier crimes.

About this time, the Second batman found himself the third Robin. Harley and Joker had decided they too wanted a kid, but Harley did not want to go through child birth. So they did the next best thing, they kidnapped the new Robin!

They spent months torturing and brain washing the boy while sending Batman on fruitless hunts to find the missing Robin. Finally when Batman and Batgirl tracked them down, Robin had been mutilated, bleached like Jokers 1 and 2, and broken. He had told Joker every secret, every trick that Batman had.

A fight broke out, the Joker got in a few lucky hits with his tricks and toys, and it all came down to Robin with a gun pointed at both the Joker and Batman. Robin, despite the mental trauma shot and killed the Joker.

Meanwhile Batgirl and Harley were in a fist fight, which abruptly ended when Harley fell off a cliff. Harley's body was never found, and for a while the world was with out a Joker.

Yet one day a new man, claiming to be the son of the Joker and Harley appeared, and stole millions. Unlike the past Jokers, this one didn't take pleasure in killing weaklings.

If cops, or security guards got in his way, he would kill them, but his true joy was in fighting heroes. He purposely would draw in various heroes just to fight it out with them, and scary enough, he often won. He escape with the body, and then often display it for the world to see. But unlike the past Jokers which used Joker venom, this joker used a blade to carve the smile.

"Ms. Waller, your 2 o'clock is here." The intercom lit up on the solid mahogany desk. Like everything else in the large office, it was made of the finest materials, and cost more than most people made in several months.

Amanda Waller had been sitting behind her desk, looking over recent reports from her agents in the field when the call came. "Send him in." She replied in a cold, calm tone.

The double doors to her office swung open as a dozen fully armored, fully geared up guards entered the room. Each one carried a standard issue blaster rifle capable of putting a whole through solid steel. Wheeled behind them, like an image out of Silence of the lambs, was the Third Joker. Bound in a straight jackets held down to the trolley cart. Lastly a mask wrapped around his face to keep him from biting.

"Ms. Waller. You look lovely. Loose weight? I only count three chins today. You're doing very well, down from five." The Joker said with a sly smiled, completely and utterly relaxed, like an old friend dropping by for cup of tea.

"Joker." She opened the top drawer to her right and pulled out a hand gun and placed it on top of her desk. Then she reached into the desk below that and pulled out a file folder. "I hope your cell is to your liking."

"It's lovely, my toilet leaks, my bed is lumpy, and there is an old out of date calendar on my wall with an adorable little kitten on it. It's just like summer camp when I was a kid." He grinned ear to ear, but after a moment he sighed, "Well... how I imagined summer camp as a kid... Mother prefer my summers to be filled with training. I remember this one year she made me kill a different kitten in a different way every day for an entire summer. Ever since, I can't stand being near Cats, they taste horrible."

Amanda made no visual reaction to the story, "Delightful. You're hear to go over your options."

"I'd like a PB and J sandwich with Oreo ice cream and a medium pizza with everything." Joker instantly replied.

"Not for your last meal... at least not yet." Her brow furled as she opened the file. "Joker, one month ago you kidnapped nine people. Each person was either a member of law enforcement, a political member, or some other high profile person of Gotham. You butchered and dismembered them, and disposed of their body parts in over two dozen different positions. You purposely made the piles easy to spot so they would all be found with in hours of each other."

"Yes, it was quite the challenge to keep the animals away. Dogs love pig meat. Did you decorate this place yourself? It's a bit boring. The only personal effect is the photo frame on your desk. Who is that anyway?"

Amanda slowly picked the frame up and set it face down. "When each location was pinned on the map they created the image of an old fashion round cartoon bomb. The kind with a fuse."

"I loved Looney Tunes growing up. Mother let me watch TV while she beat me. Taught me if I could focus on the humour in life, the pain wasn't so bad. Beautiful really." Joker twisted his neck as far as it could go, "Would one of you gents get me a snack. Potato chips maybe?"

The guards didn't respond.

Amanda continued, "If didn't take a genius to figure out it was a message, especially when the First letter of each name of the people you kidnapped and murdered spelt out 'The Batman.' Still... Commissioner Barbara Gordon called in the Bat. It took them less than 1 second to notice the tip of fuse was a novelty joke store. You were waiting for him on the roof."

"Yes. He was late. The picnic I had made for him was cold, and ruined. How dreadful." The Joker made his voice sound girlish before laughing.

"You challenged him to a 1 on 1 combat, a little odd for you, but then again, you didn't seem to care there was more than 100 armed police officers surrounding the building."

"I was getting bored with the old Cat and Bat, I needed to know who was better. No traps. No Gadgets. No henchmen. No boy wonder. No Hostages. Nothing. Pure hand to hand combat." Joker's tone grew darker and cold.

"According to the sniper reports, you had the upper hand when they took the shot. Pierced your chest, collapsed a lung." Amanda almost cracked a smile at the thought.

"Upper hand? I was one stroke away from killing him." His tone kept growing darker and angrier until he practically growled the last part.

"The SWAT team and the EMT's moved in. To their surprise you were still alive, to their even greater surprise you killed the EMT's and three of the SWAT members before they put another dozen bullets in your body. You were...rushed to the hospital." Amanda was fully smiling now.

The Joker glared, "They never drove above 20, and they hit every pot hole and speed bump along the way. They didn't even turn on the siren."

"It was a miracle you lived." Amanda turned the page on the medical file.

"They didn't even use anaesthetics during the surgery. Thankfully my healing factor has me good as new in less than a month."

Amanda frowned, "Yes... Thankfully. Now it's time to talk options. Gas Chamber... or you make yourself useful. I have dangerous people I want killed. Odds of success are near zero. I refuse to send in my own men and women, so I am offering lunatics like you the chance to do some good. You won't earn your freedom but you won't see the inside of a gas chamber, and you might get a few perks in your cell. Like a Television, or mini fridge."

"On one condition." He practically giggled like a school girl.

"Condition?" Amanda asked with a glare, but the word had barely passed her lips when the straight jackets slipped of the Joker. In the blink of an eye he closed the distance, he grabbed the gun on her desk, slipped behind Amanda and used her like a shield with the gun in his hand ready to fire. The guards took aim but held their fire, not wanting to hit their boss. Amanda frowned again, "What's the point of this?"

"Entertainment." He laughed into her ear forcing her to wince. "As for my condition. I want only one thing."

"And that is?"

"A decent meal. PB and J sandwiches with Oreo Ice cream and a medium pizza with everything." He laughed and dropped the gun to the floor and released Amanda. The guards charged and tackled the deranged clown before dragging him out of the room, all the while his laughing growing louder and louder.

Even after he had left, Amanda could still hear his laugher...
