Chapter 4: Joker

TW: Violence, Cursing & Trauma

Recap:

"Take it, Alfred made his prize-winning cookies," I offered, she then stared at me a bit more

"You're lucky that you have good food," she said taking the brown paper bag and opening it, she then took out a cookie and took a bite

Present (After School):

Y/N's POV:

I opened my mailbox to see if I got anything, I unlocked it and see a few ads and envelopes, I then carried them upstairs

I opened my apartment door and the door slowly creaked open, I then flicked the lights on, they flickered a bit.

"Luna, I'm back," I said calling the cat, I then see her hop off the table and brush her head against my leg, I then closed the door and locked it, I then got some cat food and fed Luna

I then placed my bag down on the table and I sat on a chair. I looked through the mail.

"Ad. Ad. Estate Ad. Food Ad. Ad. Ad. Ad. Jesus Christ, why are there so many ads?" I sighed, I then looked at the last mail and I see a large J written on it, I gasped slightly "Fuck..."

I then opened it slowly and took out the crumbled-looking piece of paper. His hand-writing was truly horrendous:

hELLo mY lItTlE fLowEr,

- JOkEr

I hope he fucking dies. I then threw the letter away in the trash. I can still hear the crowbar scraping against the ground and the cold metal touching my skin. I then hear police sirens outside. I peered outside my window and see them driving toward one of the Villains' hideouts.

I got into my vigilante uniform and took my gun. I then opened my window and closed it behind me. I sighed and jumped across and landed in another building. I followed the police from behind. I then arrived in an empty abandoned warehouse.

I slowly walked around and heard a clanging noise behind me. I hear a familiar chuckle.

'No...' I thought to myself, I then turned around and see the familiar face. Joker. Well, now my fucking katanas and guns are practically useless because this mother fucker is immune to fucking poison. I then hear the crowbar clanging against the wall, I have goosebumps crawling up my skin.

"Well well well! It's a pleasure meeting you Scorpion," he chuckles "Or should I say Y/N? I heard that you poison your enemies? Say who could've taught you that...Oh right! Me! Have you read my letter? It would mean a lot to me if you did,"

"I did read it," I spoke

"You did?" he gasps happily "So what's your answer? Join me?"

"Ha..." I chuckle, I then shot him on the shoulder "No, you dumb fuck,"

It was then silent for a moment. From afar, I can see him gripping his shoulders as they continued to bleed. He then chuckles and then started to chuckle uncontrollably. I looked around me and see explosives lined up around me.

'Shit...' I thought to myself, I then turned back to him 'It was a fucking trap,'

"That kind of hurts. Well okay then...Goodbye," he then presses a button "It was nice knowing you,"

"You son of a bitch-" I shouted, the explosives then went off, and before they all went off I quickly ran towards the exit, I see Joker exiting, but then an explosive hit me and I fell to the ground, and everything went dark

Bruce's POV:

I entered the warehouse where Joker was. But I see a girl enter instead, she was the Scorpion, the one who defeated Scarecrow two nights ago.

'What the fuck is she doing here?' I thought to myself, she then turns around and Joker appears, his crowbar was clanging against the wall

"Well well well! It's a pleasure meeting you Scorpion," he chuckles "Or should I say Y/N? I heard that you poison your enemies? Say who could've taught you that...Oh right! Me! Have you read my letter? It would mean a lot to me if you did,"

'They know each other,' I thought to myself

"I did read it," she speaks

"You did?" he gasps happily "So what's your answer? Join me?"

"Ha..." she chuckles, and then shot him on the shoulder "No, you dumb fuck,"

It was then silent for a moment. He then chuckles and then started to chuckle uncontrollably. I slowly made my way towards Joker's direction.

"That kind of hurts. Well okay then...Goodbye," he then presses a button "It was nice knowing you,"

"You son of a bitch-" she shouts, the explosives then went off, luckily I was near the exit. I then noticed she wasn't out yet. I went back into the warehouse which is in flames, I then see her stuck under some rubble, I got her out, I took her into the Batmobile and started driving back into the cave, I walked into the dining room where everyone is

"There he is-" Damian started off "Who is that girl that you're holding?"

"Sorry that I'm late everyone. I had some business to take care of. You may know her as Scorpion, she was caught in the Joker's trap, and I think she had some form of history with the Joker," I stated "She'll be staying in the guest room, till she is well enough so we can interrogate her,"
