*Clara stands up and leaves, heading back to her own house.*
*As Clara leaves, Lissan's face is wiped of any emotion. She locks the door and heads to another room. She then pulls something out of a crate and opens it.*
Lissan: I've found her...
Voice: And her partner?
Lissan: No sign.
Voice: Continue on until you find the male's location. Then exterminate the female with extreme prejudice.

*She hides the communicator and goes to bed.*
*Clara goes to bed also, waking up after only an hour.
She paces few a few minutes in her PJs, before she hears someone knock on her door.
She takes a small Republic Type-1 phaser; essentially a Federation Type-1, but light grey with a pulse emitter instead of a beam emitter, and puts it in her pocket, keeping her hand on it as she opens the door.*
Clara: Tara?
Tara A: Hey... Can I come in?
Clara: T, it's 11.
Tara A: I won't be long.
*Clara lets her in, taking her hand off the phaser.*
Clara: What is it?
Tara A: I know it's crazy, but I keep seeing my half-sister in my dreams.
Clara: Well, you were obsessed with her...
Tara A: Not funny.
I don't know why, but I can't shake the feeling that she's in trouble...
Clara: Have you talked to Ebren?
Tara A: Not yet... I don't want to worry him.
*After a few minutes of talking, Tara leaves and Clara goes back to bed.*

*Meanwhile, off in the corner of the universe.*
Gambler: What!? How did this happen?!
Dealer: Sorry, sir. The kid just had a better hand.
Gambler: I call cheating! He's obviously a card sharp!
*The figure wearing a coat and hat at the end of the table shovels his winnings into a bag.*
Figure, in a light French accent: No need for that, monsieur. I really think that you wouldn't like the results...
Gambler: Ha! You mean you wouldn't!
Figure: No, I meant you.
Gambler, blustering: I don't care what you think! Mana-
*He suddenly cut off by a blinding white streak, and a card sprouting from his hand. He screams in pain.*
Figure: See what you did? Now I have to hold up the joint...
*He pulls out a phaser and points it at the guards.*
Figure: Move one inch and you're dead...
*He quickly stuns them as they move.*
Figure: Why doesn't anyone ever listen?
*He moves about, taking money from the casino goers, but not all of them, and stunning anyone that tries to retaliate. Soon, police sirens can be heard approaching.*
Figure: Guess that's my que...
*He moves toward the door, but his hand gets shot by a phaser, causing him to drop his. He turns slowly and faces the woman attacking him.*
Woman: On the ground, whoever you are!
Figure, insulted: Why, you don't know me?
*A card appears in his hand, a Joker.*
Figure: Names, LeBeau. Luc LeBeau. But, you may call me Joker...
*The card lights up and flies through the air, impaling in the woman's hand, making her drop the phaser. She screams.*

Jean-Luc: Now, exit stage left.
*He leaves, just before the police enter.*
*The next morning, Clara is eating breakfast; a couple of slices of ham with a side of toast, listening to a newscast in the background.*

Newscaster: Recently, there have been reports of a 'Robin Hood-like' criminal known as the Joker going around casinos and other gambling halls in the outer worlds of Pegasus. It seems that he takes money from the casinos and it's patrons, but only the ones that have a history with mobs, drug cartels, and the like. Later at eight, general feelings on how this may have been caused by the Ultron Resurgence.
