The Gutter. Those terrible years of the Gutter. I shutter as I remember them, those years of hungry and coming so close to death every day. I believe the only way I survived was teaming up with Joker that faithful day, that lucky day that he found me, or I found him.

/I was bleeding, from a small wound on my shoulder. Small but it still hurt, I choked on my tears trying to hold them back but still they fell.
"Hey...You're crying" I looked up at the voice, fiery orange hair and purple eyes stared back at me. a boy, my age and a bit taller than me, skinny and in ragged cloths like myself. He was also living on East End. "Well...No duh." I reply sarcastically, I winced as I moved a bit. He walked a bit towards me and kneeled next to me
"What happened?" He tore off a piece of his sleeve and started to wrap my shoulder I yelped with pain. "I-I got caught." "Stealing?" "Yeah...I managed to steal a loaf of bred." "Great!" He smiled and finished wrapping up my shoulder,
"It should heal in about 3 days or so." "...Thank you." "Welcome, everyone in the Gutter needs to help each other out every once in a while."
"Yeah...do you want to share my bred?" "Sure!" and we shared it. "My names Joker by the way." "Delphi." "Nice!" "Thanks."
"So...Do you mind if I call you 'Sister?'" "Not at all." "Thank you Sister!" "welcome." I smiled, despite the pain. And we teamed up./

It wasn't till a week later we found Beast and Dagger huddled together, then a week later Doll. We all teamed up together in hopes of surviving. and it wasn't till we had all been a team for 5 months that Kelvin found us. I cannot tell you how many times I though I was going to die every day.

/"Joker...I'm Hungry." "I know Delphi...Let's just try again, we'll get it this time" "...Joker, would you miss me if I was gone?" "Delphi what are you saying?! Of course I would!" "...I'm just wondering if my life is worth anything, I mean it's short and all, and nobody would miss me." "Are you insane?! I would!" "you would?" "yes!" I fell silence and with that encouragement I stole three loafs of bred successfully. "Great job Sister! I told you you'd get it!" "Yeah Joker, yeah you did." and I smiled. Joker always made me smile./
