She was still sore from being thrown off the roof weeks ago, but Leland had been certain that she'd been fine to patrol. Apparently she'd been a little overhasty. Two-face's sudden appearance was a little startling, but she couldn't say she didn't appreciate it.
"Very gentlemanly of you," she said, using the mugger's distraction to land two sharp blows to his chest.
"Oh, yes," Two-Face said with mock sincerity. "I'm always ready to assist a lady in peril."
He grinned up at her roguishly, simultaneously snapping the mugger's wrist back with appalling ease. The man howled in pain and mumbled something, possibly a plea for mercy, but Two-Face was already on his feet and striding towards Leland.
"May I?" he asked, gesturing to the man whom Leland had seized by the lapels of his filthy jacket. She shrugged and loosed the mugger, allowing Two-Face the final punch. The unfortunate criminals now lied in a crumpled heap in the middle of the street: perfect quarry for the GPD.
"Well, that was fun," Two-Face said cheerily. "Mind if I join you for the rest of the evening?"
"I'd hate to interrupt any important mischief you're in the middle of," Leland said, crossing her arms. Two-face probably couldn't see her raising an eyebrow, but she figured it was probably conveyed in her tone. A thought occured to her, and she narrowed her eyes.
"Also, I hear Harvey has plans to make an honest bat out of Bruce. Are you going to interfere?"
"First of all, the only 'mischief' I'm in the middle of is saving your ass, Joan," he smirked.
"Secondly, those are Bruce's plans; Dent just said 'yes'. Semantics, I suppose, but you should nonetheless be aware that your partner knows very well what he's getting himself into." Two-Face paused to adjust the collar on his jacket, trying his best to stave off the late autumn wind.
"More importantly, he's not the only one who agreed to it." Two-Face raised his left hand and pulled the sleeve of his jacket down to expose a large and rather pretty diamond ring.
