Hi people, this is only my second TDK fanfiction so please bear with me, I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 1: The Mimer

Adam sat there with his hands cuffed together along with everyone else, along with the Boss: the Joker. A few days ago the new recruits were brought and the Joker had given them a big speech on how not to get caught otherwise… they would get their throats slit or even worse.

They were in dimly light metallic room that had been once a massive store room, no one knew what Scarecrow had planned to do to them but they all knew that if they got out here alive the Joker would make sure that they wouldn't survive his wrath: they were all on their knees and were in a tight circle all facing forwards to a door and Adam felt his knees go numb as the feeling slowly left his legs. Somehow the new recruits had messed up on the first day and had them all captured. The Joker was glaring daggers at a particular new recruit known as Tim; silently whispering his painful demise.

Tim was a small, timid little fella, with ginger hair, brown eyes and a fragile small body structure. He was a wimp. Adam felt like beating the little kid up for his big mistake but he knew that the Joker would get him first.

Scarecrow appeared from the shabby door, wearing his usual suit that was sported with the special mask of his "Well, well, well never had I thought I would catch the mad dog known as the Joker… and it's all thanks to the fresh recruits"

Joker looked calm, which was never a good thing "Hey, Crow. Why don't you, uh, loosen these cuffs and see how the dog will react, Hm?" Joker cocked his head.

Scarecrow hesitated "I have business to attend to but don't worry, I'll leave my men to keep an eye on you, is that fine?" the Scarecrow didn't wait for an answer, he walked off.

Once again the Joker and his men were alone together and unfortunately for them they all had been stripped of their weapons. Except Adam still had a small flip up phone in his shoe, he always kept something hidden in his shoe just in case something like this happened.

"Hey, Georgie!" Adam whispered, to his friend.

A big bulky bald tanned looking guy turned his head, his head tattoo of the words "Saint Mary" stood out from his temple "What?" Georgie's scars on his shoulders and arms were quite visible through the white vest he was wearing along with the army pants.

Adam gestured to his shoe "Take off my shoe and to get to the phone out" he added "My hands are behind my back I can't reach my foot"

Georgie gave him a weird look before arching his back to reach his foot and roughly pulled his shoe off, the old flip up phone make a loud clinking sound as it fell and the Joker spoke up "If you're, uh, going to do something tell me first so you don't mess up"

Adam winced "Sorry Boss" Adam then climbed over his legs so that his hands were in front of him, he rapidly turned on the phone and seared through his contacts and found his target.

He dialled and everyone was leaning in the circle, Tim asked "Who are you calling?"

Adam growled back at him "A professional who doesn't make a sound!"

Georgie butted in "No! Not her! Don't tell me you're calling her?"

"What choice do we have?" Adam hushed him.

"Adam you're being irrational" another henchmen, Guy, spoke "She's our last resort"

"This is the last resort" Adam argued back.

The men stopped their quarrelling when Joker brought himself towards Adam and loomed over him "Is she, uh, good?"

Adam's breathing hitched "The best"

Joker stared at him, contemplating Adam's judgement of this woman "Call her" the Joker nodded.

The phone dialled only twice before it was picked up, Adam was met with silence but that was expected, he whispered with a voice laced with worry "Hey, it's me Adam. I need your help"

Silence from the other end.

"I hope I didn't catch you on a bad time"

Silence again.

Adam was desperate "Please I'll repay you on the spot"

The only response was the sound of fingers being drummed on a table once. The call ended.

Adam, Georgie and Guy relaxed and Adam replace his phone and shoe. The others looked at him with confusion, the Joker especially.

As Joker opened his mouth the door swung open and the Scarecrow's men entered the room, about time! Where had they been? They were all armed with something. Two of them had metallic bats, one had some sort of metal pipe with a sharp end and three had shotguns. Six of them in total and Joker suspected whether or not this woman could take out these big muscly men.

They scattered around the room, Tim cowered away as one of them men with shotguns aimed it dangerously at him and chuckled darkly. Just as the man was going to remark something there was knock on the shabby door.

Adam, Georgie and Guy perked up and the rest of Joker's men that this was the woman they had called. Joker found it strange how quickly she had found them as Adam didn't even give her any clue as to where they were.

The men scattered around the room stared at the door until it slowly opened to reveal a petite women in the door way. Joker took one look at her and turned his head questionably to Adam who motioned everyone to look at her.

She wore a Mime's costume and makeup. She sported a pair of typical black Mime trousers with the suspenders (though you couldn't see the suspenders due to her blazer), with a white buttoned up shirt that was flawless with no creases at all, she also added her own touch to the costume and added a spikey white ruff on her shirt that she used as a tie? She also wore a black velvet blazer that's shoulders were tipped upwards slightly and complemented her beautiful thin waist.

Her jet black hair had been pulled up in a tight bun and she wore a curvy top hat that had been slanted to a side on her head to her right. Her face was covered with pale white makeup, her lips looked more plumped than they really were due to crimson lipstick that were in a shape of a cherry, her cheekbones had a slight blush (very slight) to them and her eyes had been covered by small diamonds but Joker noted that on her left eye, at the tip of the diamond's bottom was a small yet obvious black tear.

She stepped in the room, her black leather shoes shinning, almost grinning up at the spectators and she held up her hands, that was when Joker noted the white mime gloves, and kept her hands in front of her wordlessly telling them to 'stop'. Scarecrow's men all stared at her dumbfounded.

She stretched out her hands to emphasise that nothing was in them and she placed her left arm on her waist and lifted her right arm, flexing it and bending her hand as if holding a plate in her right hand. She cocked her head to the right. The left tear became more obvious (at least to Joker) and looked at Scarecrow's men almost telling them to question her… and they did.

The one with the pipe yelled at her "Who are you and what are you doing?"

The women lifted her hand from her waist and pointed to him raising her brows almost saying silently 'Ah' and she retrieved a black piece of silk cloth from her pocket and put in on her empty hand. When she lifted it from her hand and revealed her hand that was closed into a fist and she held it out.

The man with the pipe neared her and stopped when he was an inch away from her. Joker saw the corners of her lips twitch; but it was hard to tell as the pale white makeup covered the tips of her lips. She hunched over a bit and opened her fist that was full of some sort of white chemical, before the man could move she blew it directly at his face.

He screamed and his hands flew to his face: to be specific to his eyes that seemed to be burning. He dropped the pipe and the woman caught it. The men with the bats lunged at her and one of the gun men aimed at her but using the pipe she shifted his gun so that it was aimed another gun man and the man shot killing one of the gun men, she kicked him in the shin and stole his shot gun shooting on of the men with the bats. Two down, three to go.

She shot at the man whose gun she stole and his head blasted open as he was kneeling down, the other man with the bat came at her but she pierced the pipe in his gut and pushed him off. The other two gun man fired at her but she hid behind a pillar away from everyone's view. The remaining two men were armed with shotguns and she was corned, or so they thought.

When they turned, one was hit in the chin with the butt of the gun and the other was kicked over, the woman shot at the man who had been hit in the chin and got him straight in the heart, whilst the remaining man was down she headed towards one of the bats and picked it up; the shotgun was abandoned and she sauntered over to him. He started to crawl back towards Joker and his men, terrified, as to what she would do to him. She towered over the man, who was practically putting his weight on Joker's knee, but Joker made no effort to push him off as he was curious as to what this woman would do.

Once she was by his feet she flipped the bat handed it to him. The man stared up at her like she was crazy but as he reached forward for it; she had pulled on the bat that he clasped and stabbed him in the Jugular with a knife.

He fell dead with a loud thud, and she stared at him and cocked her head curiously. She shook her head ever so slightly and turned to Adam and the men as they were beginning to stand up.

"Mimer!" Adam exclaimed "I'm so glad you could make it, as promised I will repay you… just not right now"

The one known as Mimer shook her head like she expected this and motioned for his hands. He held them out happily. She worked fast on his cuffs and headed to the next one, and the next, and the next until finally she came to Joker who stared down at her curiously. She didn't look up at him at all, at least not until she finished with his cuffs and glanced at his face before turning back to Adam.

Georgie clapped a hand on her shoulder "Really owe it to you Mimer, I promise to pay you back if Adam doesn't"

She smiled up at him but didn't say anything.

"Sorry Mimer but we really needed help and well I know you don't trust me anymore but-" before Adam could go on Mimer started to shake her hands and motioned her open hand and fingered her palm then lifted that finger and shook it and started to make some signs that Joker could not understand.

Adam shook his head "If you say so"

Guy protested "Oh come on, you owe her that much Adam!"

Georgie joined "Guy's right Adam, you're in so much debt to Mimer"

Before it turned into a full-fledged fight Mimer stepped in between the boys and make some more hand motions some Joker recognised but most were nothing. In the end all three men were nodding in agreement. In frustration of being ignorant of the matter Joker cleared his throat getting the attention of everyone, including 'Mimer'.

"Well, since we're done here how about we go, oh, and you" Joker pointed to Mimer "Are coming with us as well, I need to repay you" but before he could grab her she stepped away and held out a hand to stop him.

She then tipped her head and went to leave but after a few steps there were footsteps behind her and it was the Joker trying to catch her but she turned and pointed to Georgie and put her index finger and her thumb together and put it under her lip she them opened them and stretched them apart and smiled raised her brows. She them beamed and pulled out her black silk cloth again. It was much larger now; bigger than her and she disappeared behind it.

The Joker realized that both the cloth and Mimer had disappeared "Adam, why don't we, uh, talk about your little friend when we get back"

They all shuffled out and everyone noticed the dead bodies lying on the floor in several places as they headed out. The Joker was impressed, that one woman took down all these men single handed.

Luckily for Tim when they all arrived back Joker was too deep in though to deal with him. Joker dragged Adam, Georgie and Guy to his room and cornered them "Mind telling me who, uh, your little friend was"

Georgie shifted "That was The Mimer"

Guy added "A.K.A The Mime"

Joker slipped out his switchblade "Why don't you call her back and, uh, tell her you'll pay her right now"

Adam shook his head begrudgingly "She doesn't want money"

"Oh?" Joker licked his lips "Why, uh, not?"

"She hates money, despises it, I pay her back by giving her any information she wants" Adam spoke softly.

"Well tell her you're going to, uh, repay her then" Joker waved his blade in front of his face and signalled them to 'get out'.

As Adam closed the door he heard Joker chuckle "Tell her I'll be, uh, waiting"

Might be continued…
