Chaotic Love (Joker x Reader) DISCONTINUED

Chapter 4: The Mayor

Once [Y/N] gets home she wonders why the Joker even asked her to come in the first place. Was it to intimidate her? Was it to get closer to Batman?

Well, she was going to meet him soon anyway, so she can ask him everything.

A few days passed, but [Y/N] just stayed home. She didn't feel like leaving or meeting anyone, especially after the whole Joker and Batman thing.

She was laying on her bed when she heard her phone ring. She picked it up.

"Yeah." she said.

"Missed me, sweetheart?" A familiar voice spoke. It was the Joker.

"Oh, it's you. When are we meeting?"

"Right now."

"What do you mean?" Just as she spoke those words she heard a knock on the door.

[Y/N] quickly got up and rushed to the door. She opened it to be met with the Joker.

"How in the fucking world did you find out where I live?" she snapped, noticeably mad.

"I have my ways, sweetheart." Joker replied.

"Ok, what the fuck do you want?"

The Joker stepped through the doorway, ignoring her.

"You know the whole Mayor thing or whatever they're having?" he spoke, "well, um, I'm gonna do something there and you need to be there."

"Ok, but before I say anything about that I have a few questions about your last little show." she said.

"Alright, go on."

"Why was I even there? Were you trying to intimidate me or something? 'Cause all I did was just stand there, you not letting me fucking go because you have a knife pointing at my face. What was that about, huh?"

"Calm down, I just wanted you to be part of the show." he replied, stepping closer.

"What, so you can bring attention to me after Bruce kissed me on the fucking balcony?" She yelled, regretting it immediately.

"You kissed Bruce Wayne on the balcony?" he laughed. "You kissed Bruce Wayne even though he obviously loves Harvey's blushing bride-to-be? The way he threw himself after her but didn't even bat an eye when I was threatening you. Hm?"

"Stop." She snapped, "I'm not the only insecure one here. You can't even tell the real fucking story behind those scars to me! You can't stand being called a freak or crazy. And you know what; you are.  You're just afraid of the obvious truth, that is staring you right in your scarred fucking face!" she yelled.

The Joker grabbed her, his knife pointed right at her. She tried moving away but his strength didn't let her.

"I'm also pointing out the truth, and you lost your mind over it." he laughed, brushing the knife against [Y/N]'s face, "just go to the Mayor speech on Friday. Hm?"

And just like that, he left.

Today is the day. Joker is going to assassinate the mayor of Gotham.
[Y/N] put on jeans and a crop top; this wasn't a party or anything, so she could wear anything.

She drove to the place by herself, it wasn't worth bringing the goons for.

Once she arrived she was met with crowds of people, gathering around the mayor's stage.

"Commissoner Loeb dedicated his life to law enforcement," the mayor spoke, "and to the protection of his community. I remember when I first took office and I asked him if he wanted to stay on as commissioner. And he said he would, provided I kept my politics out of his office."

As [Y/N] stood there, listening to the mayor, she tried finding the Joker, but she couldn't see him anywhere.

"Clearly he was not a man who minced words, nor should he have been." The mayor continued, "A number of policies that he enacted as commissioner were unpopular. Policies that flooded my office with angry calls and letters..."

And just about then [Y/N] stopped listening and focused on finding the Joker.

What if he's not wearing his makeup?
What if he's in the back or at the front?

She just decided to wait for his grand reveal.

"And as we recognize the sacrifice of this man, we must remember that vigilance is the price of safety." The mayor said as he stepped away from the microphone.

The guards began their ceremony.

"Stand by. Honor guard. Attention. Port arms." One of the guards said as the others followed his commands. "Ready. Aim. Fire!" he commanded as the guards shot up in the air.

"Ready. Aim. Fire!" He said as another load of bullets flied up into the sky.

"Ready. Aim. Fire!" The guards turned towards the mayor and shot at him. But before a bullet could get to him, Jim Gordon threw the mayor on the floor.

The crowd devolved into chaos as everyone started screaming and running. [Y/N] ran towards the front, as she searched for Joker. Suddenly, she felt someone grab her hand.

"Hey!" She yelled.

"Don't be nervous, sweetheart." Joker said.

She shivered when she understood that the Joker was holding her hand.

He dragged her through the streets when they reached an 18-wheeler with a goon behind the wheel. Joker helped her up into the back of the truck.

"Sorry, that this isn't as fancy as you're used to." Joker said.

"It's fine. By the way, you look so different without the makeup."

"Oh, yeah, did you expect me to wear my full-face clown makeup to the tribute for Commissioner Loeb?" He laughed.

She laughed back, but before she could say anything the truck started moving, [Y/N] fell back.

"You're not used to this, huh?" The Joker said.

"Yeah..." She replied.

The truck came to a stop. But just as she relaxed it started moving again. It started up again so quickly that [Y/N] fell completely to the ground. The Joker immediately rushed to her and reached out his hands to her. She took them.

"Are you ok? That looked like a pretty hard fall." He said, laughing lightly.

"Yeah, I'm alright." [Y/N] answered.

"Let's make sure that doesn't happen again." he said as he put his hand on her waist and held her tight. Making sure she doesn't fall.

[Y/N] twitched at the feeling of his hand on her waist. She felt so nervous being close to him. This is the first time he touched her without threatening her.

What is wrong with me? Why do I feel so nervous around him even though I don't even really like him? At least I think I don't.

"That better?" The Joker asked her.

"Yeah, way better." she replied.
