Psychos Can Have Children Too

Chapter 17

-1 WEEK LATER-

Today is the day. Today, is the day we kill batman. The big heist that we've been planning for a week now is finally going to come into play. I wake up early, wanting to be as prepared as possible. I get ready quickly, double checking to make sure I have everything I need for my part of the plan. Conversation fills the air as I walk downstairs, the whole crew already here and ready to wreak havoc on Gotham City. Tonight, we make the city ours.

I scan the room for Jason, but couldn't find him in the mix of bodies in our living room. Jason and I haven't talked in the last week since the incident at the fair happened. I've been avoiding him but he hasn't tried to talk to me either and it's been bugging me, even though I've been avoiding him as well. Hypocritical, I know.

I sigh and finish walking down the stairs, going into the kitchen to grab a bite to eat before we begin. Joker walks out of his bedroom, his purple suit freshly cleaned and pressed, curtesy of Harley who walks out next to him. Her jester suit shines when she walks out into the light. I smile, proud to call them my parents.

"Everyone! Quiet down!" Joker yells overtop of the noise and stands on the table, helping Harley up as well. I munch on my granola bar as I watch them both. "Tonight, we fight!" he says rather loudly and everyone cheers, raising their fists in the air. I roll my eyes and take every word Joker says very seriously. I cannot mess this up tonight or he will have my head on the wall with a plaque that says "Definition of Shame" below it. Humiliating way to die and not really how I wanna go out.

He continues on, talking about what exactly is going to happen. If it doesn't go exactly the way he planned it, we wouldn't live to see tomorrow. The speech took a total of 10 mins and then they all left, going out to party until we needed to report back here to actually do the heist. Joker is the last one out. He turns to me and smiles. Not the creepy, sadistic smile that he is known for. It was a genuine smile. I was taken aback for a second but then smiled back. He walked towards me and pulled me into a tight hug. Again, this shocked me. "Um, Daddy? Are you feeling okay?" I ask hesitantly and he pulls away, still smiling. "I'm excellent darling, just peachy." I raise my eyebrow at this, he didn't freak out when I called him daddy like he usually does.

Joker heads to the door and stops in the doorway, his back turned to me. "I'm proud of you Marah, I love you" and he shuts the door behind him. I stand there with my jaw to the floor and my eyes the size of watermelons. That did not just happen, I'm dreaming. I pinch myself  to make sure but nothing happens. "I love you too" I whisper into the thin air.

The house is unbearably quiet for hours on end. Naturally, I would blast my music and sing way off tune. But today just seems confusing, almost unreal. My vision would go in and out from time to time and I would have to grab the wall just to keep from collapsing. I don't know what is happening, but it can't happen at all. I have to stay focussed today, prove my self. My head is still reeling over what Joker said earlier. Not to mention I can't get fricking Jason out if my mind.

I sigh and grab my head in attempt to make sense of things. I need to keep myself busy but I can't think of anything that I want to do. I end up grabbing my phone and dialing Gwen's number. She doesn't pick up and I don't leave her a message. Groaning, I fall face first onto my bed. I scream as loudly as I can into the comforter, letting out all of my frustration and stress over today.

I curl up into a ball on my bed and close my eyes, daydreaming about a world where everything made sense.
