Previously: "...My eyes felt heavy I felt them begin to droop before they snapped open once more from the Joker's boisterous crazed laughter filled the air, I think nothing of it until I see the bat symbol light up the night air. They got the message, hunh."

Earlier that night

3rd Person POV

Every screen in Gotham lit up with the poor quality video that the Joker had filmed of Izzy, her face becoming burnt into everyone's mind. The kidnapped woman being used as bait for Batman. As citizens sat and watched their interrupted television to watch the crying girl, the police were busy tracking the camera used. As the officers were busy working on finding this woman a body slipped out of the room and ran out onto the empty streets of Gotham, the pale moonlight shining.

The lonesome body was rushing with pure urgency towards the fire escape stairway along the side of the building. His quick feet taking the steps two at a time careful to not trip as he made his way up the many flights before reaching the roof top and rushing towards his target. The Batsignal. Hid hand pulled the lever and he watched as light burst from the compartment and shown the Bat's symbol on the clear night sky. Turning slightly the light revealed the figure to be none other than Commissioner Gordon.

He looks towards the symbol once more before sighing "please save this girl"

Present time

Izzy's POV

I don't get to sit in silence for long as the metal door slams open, slowly turning my head to the side I see the Joker standing in the doorway "get up we're going" his laughter pierces the air "get it? You can't get up." He's still laughing as he comes up behind me, I feel his breath on the back of my neck making me shiver in repulse, I feel him grasp the rope before I hear his switch blade snapping open to cut the rope.

He moves in front of me to slice the ropes off my legs, before standing he gives a quick swipe at my ankle, digging the blade into my flesh "ahh!" I cry out at the feeling of my skin tearing the fresh cut stinging as I feel a warm liquid slide down my ankle. I feel a hand grip my upper arm tightly pulling me up causing more pressure to be applied to my injured ankle I cry out again, I stumble with a limp as the Joker drags me out of the room.

He drags me roughly down many hallways before making his way towards a flight of stairs as he begins to drag me again, I look at him "can you let go of my arm? I can walk you know" I see his jaw clench.

He chuckles lowly "oh yes I know you can walk but I don't want you to try anything doll"

We make it out of a steel back door where I'm shoved into the back of another black SUV, I scramble from the floor and sit on one of the seats. Once I've stopped moving the pain in my ankle hits me at full force, I gently try and slide the leather pants I had on still from clubbing. Clenching my teeth as the tight material drags across the open wound, I hiss from the searing pain, once the pants lifted far enough I could see the damage done.

The skin around the wound was already flaming red from irritation and there was a confusing mess of fresh and dried blood around the sight. It didn't seem to be too deep, but it was deep enough. I'm lost in my pained thoughts but get snapped out of them when a handkerchief is thrown at my face, quickly looking up I see the Joker sitting on the other side and that his waist pocket is open.

I look at his face, deep in thought, it was an uncomfortable feeling really. Seeing him be so silent, you didn't know what he was planning. I grasp the square material in my hand and use it to dab at my wound it was only after I started, I realised I had no idea if this was clean or not. Oh well too late now. I continue to soak up the blood, which was hard to do when the SUV was jumping around every second from the uneven road below.

I'm taken into another tall structured building, dragged up many flights of stairs causing further pressure and pain to hit my ankle. However, I don't voice my pain on the situation as I know it will only cause me more pain, so with that thought in mind I bite my lip to keep from screaming out when a piece of metal scratches against the wound.

When we get to the top floor, I'm roughly pushed onto a chair with two of the goons working on tying my limbs down, they learnt from before. I feel a body behind me but have no time to react as I see purple gloved hands place a piece of cloth into my mouth, tying it tightly behind my head. It's an uncomfortable feeling being gaged like this, I try and wiggle it around, but it won't budge.

I notice the two goons slip out of the room - to where I don't know, maybe they were only here to help with this. I watch the Joker curiously as he walks around his back towards me and I hear him murmuring to himself, I just want to get out of here is the last thought in my mind before exhaustion takes over.

o0o0o

The sound of breaking glass awakens me, I see the reflective shards rain down on the ground below, I look up and see the large black mass of Batman. His cape billowing in the air behind him. He actually found me. My heart soars with happiness I want to get as far as I can from the Joker, speaking of him I notice him step from the shadows he was hiding in. I try and warn Batman but the gag in my mouth muffling my words, so I struggle in the chair and move my head in the direction.

I have no idea if he understood what I was trying to do but he seemed to know to turn around, but he was too late the Joker had already had his gun out and waiting. A shot rang through the silent night and I saw Batman hunch over from impact. Joker's crazed laughter broke through the situation "okaaay so you worked out the joke..." his eyes seemed to gleam as he smirked "I hoped you would Batsy or I would be disappointed"

The Joker walked closer and landed a hard kick to Batman's side...on his bullet wound, I winced understanding the pain he would be going through. Batman stands up glaring at the Crown Prince of Crime - I had learnt that was one of his names - his hand draws back before connecting with the Jokers jaw. He stumbles back from the force but that doesn't stop the laughter pouring from his mouth.

Looking up to the Dark Knight the Joker spreads his arms out as he speaks "look you found this one in time, but will you actually save her?" His voice held a taunting tone and I wondered what had happened.

I couldn't see Batman's face, but I heard his gruff voice "let her go"

The Joker stopped walking and pivoted around to face him excitedly, "ooo you've said that before Batsy remember what happened last time?" His elongated smile stretched further across his pastel face.

I hear the sirens before I see the flashing red and blue lights reflecting against the buildings below, I see the small figures of the officers through the window. I whip my head around when I hear grunts and the tell-tale signs of struggle, the Joker and the Bat are throwing punches at one another.

While Batman is playing fair with his pure physical strength the Joker brings in his switch blades playing dirty - his favourite. I flinch in my chair at every swipe the Joker makes and close my eyes when I hear Batman groan in pain, he seems to gain the upper hand and is landing solid blows to the Joker's face and body.

Slamming him against a wall he pulls the Joker's head back before slamming it harshly back. The Joker gives a strangled laugh as his eyes roll into the back of his head, his body slumps to the ground allowing Batman to tie him to one of the posts. He turns and with powerful strides he's in front of me untying the gag "thank you" I breathe out, he nods his head as he unties my arms and legs from the chair.

"You're safe now Izzy" I look up and I'm face to face with my saviour, behind the mask I can see his crystal blue eyes surrounded by darkness. However, they seem familiar, but I can't place where. I go to say something else when the door to the level we are on slams open and Gotham Police Department flood the room. I turn back around and notice he was gone. How did he do that?

I notice a group of officers go towards the Joker and cuff his hands and take him outside, another lot make their way to me and help me out of the building down to awaiting paramedics. I'm sitting in the open back with a silver shock blanket wrapped around my shivering form as I answer questions for the officers. There was a paramedic kneeling in front of me cleaning my wound and closing it up with stitches.

I'm taken home by the police and just want to sleep, so that's exactly what I do. Once inside I do my normal routine of locking the door - I hadn't opened any of my windows so those were still locked. I make my way to my bathroom and strip out of my ruined clothes and put them in the bin, I don't want to have them as a reminder of my time as a hostage. I take a long hot shower to rid myself of the dirt and grime that had formed.

I slip into my pjs and fall into a restless shallow sleep.

o0o End of Chapter 8 o0o

A/N: Woo done! So I hope you liked that chapter - yay Izzy was saved and she's starting to catch onto some things regarding Batman ;) the story is going to take a slight turn in these next future chapters with maybe some budding romance between our favourite billionaire playboy and ooh maybe Dani or Izzy? Who knows? Dani would be more there for the fun so maybe she's perfect for his playboy lifestyle ;)

Again I hoped you like the chapter sorry for any spelling or grammatical errors, please don't forget to vote, comment and follow that would be very appreciated
