Nyt blinked along with Edwina upon meeting the Joker, her expectations of him exactly what she thought it would be: a show. She offered a bit of a smile when he motioned for her and the Cheetah to follow in suit, the entire gang getting into a beautifully violet car that was soothing to the eyes; rich in colour and sparkling under the sun obscured by the gloomy weather of Gotham. He was right about one thing; it even smelled rotten and any appetite she had quickly diminished when they all sat in the back of the car. Making sure to study the goons for any sudden movement, she tried to act casual and kept her mouth shut while the other two women spoke.
Barbara knew exactly what to expect from him and grinned at his show; she figured eventually the two would click up and maybe talk about some bad-guy stuff if he was up for it. With Edwina confirming the fact that they should always watch their back when they’re around him, she eased into the seat far more comfortably than the nervous niece or anxious alien. "So, Edwina dear didn't tell me what this was about," the Joker started, grabbing a bottle that looked like champagne but both Nyt and Barbara instinctively seized up, expecting it to be a stuffed snake that would pop out. "Are you here to be my friends?"
“I’ll be your friend if you’ll be my friend. And my friends are the essence of cool cats” Barbara said with a wide grin, ready to grab anything that came out of the bottle: her feline instincts were kicking in and she eyed both the Joker and the bottle like prey.

Both of the women nodded as Edwina spoke and instructed them of his behaviors; it was better the Devil they knew than the Devil they didn’t. Barbara grinned at the prospect of meeting the infamous Gotham bat and gave a small snicker. “No way he would look past me and think we’re anything but dangerous,” she said, looking past the scenery as the train continued whizzing by. Soon, they would make their destination and the closer they got to it, the more she could smell the crispy-fresh bills. “Too bad we could never pay him off enough to look the other way. Damn vigilantes.”
Nyt leaned back into the cozy seat and looked at the opposite direction of the Cheetah. Although she managed to grab some form of sleep, the fire inside her was burning yet. The idea of avenging their fallen teammates still nagged at her tired soul and she wished for nothing but silence in her own head. It would be great if I could pull off this job without going crazy, she thought to herself. When the train finally slowed down to a stop, her heart didn’t race as much as she thought it would nor was she as nervous as she was before when Edwina explained his mannerisms. Only time would tell how all of this went.
“ Let’s roll,” she said as soon as the rest of the train-goers piled out, nervously twisting a strand of her shaggy hair.

Cheetah looked on as Edwina paced back and forth, using her as a mechanism to help her fall asleep by counting how many steps the girl took. As Nyt slept away and Edwina finally calmed down enough to try to catch some sleep, she smiled when she received yet another warning about any pretenses she may have on wronging them. Her eyes slowly closed as she turned on her side away from Edwina and responded to her question, “My name is Barbara; I’ll kill you if you call me Barbie.” With that, the newly forged team were swept away by the dream world.

*~* ♥ *~*

Nyt reacted to Edwina rising out of bed at 4 in the morning, throwing her arm out sleepily just in case someone was trying to attack them. “Oh, it’s too early for me to behave,” she said with a yawn as she sat up and rubbed her crusty eyes. Waiting her turn for the restroom before they headed out, she changed up her only outfit, (the one she escaped the Sanctuary with), by pulling up the cuffs of her black sweatpants higher and letting her black ‘I ♥ Aliens’ shirt hang loosely at the hem instead of being tucked away. As the group finally made their way to the station, she watched the early morning sky as she continued to stretch along the way, (just in case), looking like a regular woman doing her daily morning exercise.
"We're almost there," Edwina said with a smile and Nyt nodded, slightly excited about taking the train but also hoping they were undercover enough to not be recognized by anyone. On the off chance that someone even knew who they were, she decided to change the pitches of their voices to the opposite side of their normal frequency whenever they spoke.
“If you call him Uncle, what do we call him?”
“I’ll call him Daddy,” said Cheetah suggestively, wiggling her eyebrows at the visibly-disgusted Edwina. Nyt let out a small snort, trying not to show Barbara that she found her humorous… At times.

Nyt scrunched her nose up at the mention of the infamous ‘Gotham Bat’, knowing Edwina was referring to Batman. She had grown up with a magical array of comics thanks to her brothers and thought a majority of her enemies were nothing but stories. Then again, she used to believe she was human when she was little and even believed in Santa Claus. Now, there was a Cheetah woman in their room, a Bat they had to fight eventually, and a crazy chemist to deal with all in the next 48 hours. She sank deeper into her covers and covered her head with the pillow, letting out a short frustrated scream muffled into the pillow.
“I suppose I’ll just sleep on the floor then,” said Cheetah, assuming she was still their prisoner until she held up her end of the bargain. It was better than being tied up, however, and she set to work on cleaning her own wound as Nyt fell asleep rather quickly, her adrenaline leaving her drained. Once Cheetah finished patching her shoulder blade, she motioned over at Edwina. “Mind sparing a pillow for me?” she asked with a toothy grin. She set a clean towel down so she could lay on top of it, not wanting to touch the questionable carpet.
She waited for Edwina to throw her a pillow before she settled in more comfortably and groaned slightly when her injured shoulder blade touched the flat surface. It wasn’t the worst stabbing she had received, but definitely uncalled for, she decided. She realized she was lucky to have the other woman there to keep the alien in check and made a note to thank her for her kindness later, after they all made off with their share of gains.

Nyt raised her eyebrows when Edwina offered Cheetah a rather nice escape: still make money by not killing the girls. She could see it in the woman’s eyes that she wanted it and the woman stared back at them before chuckling. “How can I refuse? If you’re truly his niece, this should be a piece of cake. But what guarantee will I have that I won’t end up dead? Especially with this one here,” she said, nodding her head over at Nyt. She rolled her eyes and a devilish smirk appeared on her face.
“Life never came with a guarantee,” Nyt said, her voice haunting the Cheetah as she still felt her wound pulsing with pain and the anger of the event lingering in her mind. There was obvious tension between them but if everyone got what they wanted, Nyt could honestly see this ending one of two ways: either they do the job right and go their separate ways with the pretense that Edwina and Nyt are deceased, or the Cheetah could just be a liar and Nyt would put her name first on her ‘To Kill’ list. The alien hoped the woman was as smart as she looked, for her sake.
Cheetah could only nod with a greedy grin on her face, “Sounds like a plan then. Mind untying me so I can clean my newly accrued wound?” Nyt leaned in so she could stare her straight in the eye.
“Let that be my first and final warning,” she said softly, before untying her quickly and then heading back to her bed, feeling weary after the long day that never seemed to end.

"Echo, hun, maybe if we didn't go right to stabbing..." her partner spoke, breaking Nyt from her anger as she watched her friend fidget with her hands. It took her a moment to settle down and she pulled her dagger out of the woman’s shoulder blade with a shrug. She almost felt bad for her actions that she did out of anger, but she also knew it wouldn’t be the last time: the more she saw Lisa’s lifeless body or Marcus’, (who she believed was the strongest in terms of strengths), in her head, the more she couldn’t control her actions. "We could start off slow, yeah? Get to know each other. We don't even know her name. Though I'm guessing it has something to do with cheetahs...Maybe she's just a demented Cheetah Girl who lost her way..."
“Fine. I’m… so-rry,” she said slowly, letting the words roll off her tongue like it was a foreign language. Obviously, she didn’t mean it to the cheetah woman’s pain, but more to her only friend as she made her uncomfortable with the stabbing. “Well, Cheetah – I’m taking a stab here with your name,” she said, looking over at Eddie to drive her point with the wordplay before looking back to the woman who snarled at both of them, “You’re obviously here for us, since no one even knows we’re alive. Why are you still after us?” she started, her roll of questioning just beginning.
“Money,” came out of her lips, showing them her bared teeth, “A girl could make a nice retirement out of bringing your dead bodies back to the boss.” Nyt was about to slap her across the face, but she stopped when she realized she had raised her hand yet again out of anger. The woman was telling the truth, no doubt, but there was still something else as Cheetah flinched out of anticipation for the hit.
“What else?” she said softly, bringing her hand down to her side after a moment. She could see Eddie’s look of approval out of the corner of her eye and she felt better about having someone there to keep her in check, especially as the woman attempted to cooperate.
