Ana Wilson, a 17 year old girl living in Gotham, never thought that a trip to the circus would turn her whole life around.... A night of wonder ends in horror. The only good thing about it was meeting a certain emerald-eyed ginger boy. Jerome Vales...

I sighed as I slowly sat down in the seat across from Hugo's desk, my mind racing from the mere thought of being here once more as I narrowed my eyes. Oswald is out. Everything is fine. Why does he need me here now....?
"You know Strange..... Jerome wouldn't be to pleased if he figured out I was here." He chuckled slightly as a little look flashed through his eyes, leaning forward in his chair slightly as he came to rest his hands on his desk, eyeing me.
"Ah. That lovely little boyfriend of yours. What a couple you two make.... But no worries. He has no reason to freak out about you being here. This is simply..... business." I eyed him back as I leaned forward as well, resting my elbows upon his desk at the tone of his voice, my walls slowly building up. I don't know what his game is exactly yet. But I will find out. Even if I have to kill for it.....
"And what exactly is this business? And why the sudden interest in me and Jerome? You've never once had us as patients. You don't know a thing about us except what you've read in the paper or saw on tv..." He simply grinned as a secret look flashed in his eyes, seeming to know a lot more than just some random news report.
"That my dear Ana is where you're wrong. I actually have educated myself on you and Jerome. But you..... well I must say, a certain thing has risen my interest in you the most." I shook my head as I looked at him with a slight glare, not fully understanding this at all. Why me...? I'm not exactly like Jerome. He has character. He has this huge personality and he's a showman. For the short period we did the Maniax, he was brilliant! He's definitely a sight to behold.
"I just can't understand why though. I'm not exactly interesting. I'm simply a girl that turned bad. End of story." Hugo simply laughed as he toyed with a file in front of him, making me feel weird. Is that my file....?
"No no no Ana. You're much more than that. Honestly badness was in your genes. It just needed to be.... triggered, if you will. And it was. By your mother.... Anita. And the reaction from you was clearly meant for you from the start. I can promise that...." And this is what I mean! This man is so damn frustrating.... He knows something about me that I don't. And it's driving me mad.....
I simply glared at him as a evil little smile came to rest upon his lips, his fingers toying with the file once more, only triggering my anger more. It's clearly the reaction he wants.
"I don't know what your game is here Hugo. You clearly know something about me. But you won't share. So I frankly don't understand why you keep wasting my time if you aren't even going to show me!!" I flung my hands down onto his desk in a sudden fit of anger, shaking from madness. This man is literally driving me even more mad than I already am. And I didn't think it was possible.
He simply put his hands together as he assessed me, my reaction. Then he grinned, a satisfied grin, not surprising me in the least.
"Ahhhh...... just like i expected. You have all his characteristics. And you simply can't find the truth. But soon my dear, you will see it for yourself. I will make sure of it. But until that time comes, we will keep in touch. Don't even worry...." My eyes widened at his words as he smiled a little. He.....? What in the world is he going on about?! Who is more like it.....
I sprung up from my chair as my heart started to race, hearing Hugo following closely behind me as I flung open his office door, starting to flee down the hallway until I reached the outside of Arkham, thankfully able to breathe again.
I looked up at the gloomy sky, just feeling the comfort I always do from it. But that conversation had my mind in different places. Hugo is up to something bad. Really bad....
