Anchorwoman (Joker x reader)

Hostage at G.T.N - Part 1

"I'm not waiting on Batsy, let's go."
-

"More election cover tomorrow, and we'll keep you update-" You stop speaking suddenly as you hear someone bursting in the doors to the studio, guns raised and yelling for everyone to get down on the ground. You look around cautiously, not moving an inch, a blank look on your face.

A masked man comes walking up the platform to the studio, gun aimed at you and you slowly raise your hands when he ushers you to do so.

Back at the penthouse Jays eyes goes to you on the screen, like it occasionally does when you are in the background. But this time his whole attention is taken toward the screen and he stands up abruptly, stopping Filip mid sentence. They had the news in the background on the big screen, but volume off because they were discussing some plans.

Now they look at Joker walking hastily toward the screen and stopping by Rhea's computer, turning the volume up. They then look up at the screen and Rhea gasps. You're looking at something with your hands up in surrender. When the volume gets turned on they hear some struggling in the background.

"Who was supposed to be with her?" Joker asks angrily.

"Tom and Patrick, sir." Elijah tells him.

"And what are they doing? Taking a nap!?" He asks shouting toward him before looking back to the screen again worry clear on his face.

"I.. I don't know, sir." Elijah says.

"Well get a hold of them then!" He exclaim as he glares at the masked man coming around your desk, aiming a gun at your head.

"J, they're not answering." Jonny tells him, already walked to a desk station to try and get a hold of them.

"What do you mean they're not answering? Find out what's happening!" He yells.

Then the guy pointing a gun at you picks out a paper from his pocket and puts it in front of you.

"Read this." His voice comes out sounding gruff and strained. You look down at the paper and try to read, but frown.

"I can't read this." You tell him.

"Read it!" He yells at you.

"Well, I'm sorry but your handwriting is like a four year olds. It's not that I won't read it, I can't read it." You tell him, trying to buy some time for the police or Batman to show up. You're scared even Jay might come but you don't want him to risk his life or risk getting caught by Batman. Though you don't doubt his abilities, you just know he might make unnecessary risks when it comes to getting you back to safety, and you don't want that. The police or Batman will come in a situation like this anyway.

"Just try." The guy tells you annoyed and look toward his group who's holding the others in the studio hostage.

"Fine." You say and turn to look at the paper again.

You read the paper, it says something about ransom and millions and blah blah. You can't help but roll your eyes at the end.

Jay looks at you and slams his fist into the desk.

"She's pushing it." He grumbles, worried you're going to get yourself killed by your attitude.

"Don't worry, Batman will come in a situation like this. If not, the police will." Filip tells him. Jay lets out a loud laugh at that.

"The useless police will only worsen the situation, those are just some young inexperienced desperate group. They will kill her!" He shouts angrily.

He takes a deep breath and walks toward the door.

"I'm not waiting on Batsy, let's go." Jay says and he goes for the door.

You had started up a conversation with the guy with the gun toward you, sort of, well just you talking really. And as you did something came to mind while you were worried if Jay might risk coming to get you, you knew he was watching.

For some reason the times when talking to Rhea came to mind.

- Flashback -

"What's your favourite part of the job?.. I'm sorry I have a tendency to sound like an interviewer when I have a conversation." You chuckle.

"That's okay. Uhm.. All of it really, but the hacking part must be my favourite. Though the code we use was really interesting to do."

"Code?" You ask.

"Yes, it's really cool, Mr. J has this code language that he had me imprint into every-" She starts to tell you, but gets interrupted by Jay.

"Doll! You know what!?" You jump at the sudden exclamation from Jay.

"What?" You ask, annoyed with the interruption. Jay looks at you with wide eyes and an overly enthusiastic smile that seems fake. He looks like he's trying to think of something to say.

Another flashback.

"What's that?" You ask pointing to a chat box in the corner of her screen where there's an unusual combination of words. She turn to see what you point to, her eyes widened and she hurriedly clicks the chat box away.

"Uh, nothing. Just a chat with a guy we have undercover at the moment he was just reporting back." She says, trying to brush it off. But it looked so familiar to you so you keep asking.

"But those words, in that order-" You start, but Jay had heard your words and his attention was snapped toward you, so he speaks up to get your attention.

"Yn?" He says loudly from his spot, and you turn to him.

"Yeah?" You ask.

"Uh.. Why don't you show her what you're doing Wade?" He then says looking to said guy, who raises his eyebrows looking down at him tying his shoes. Jay roll his eyes and tell him to do something and bring you.

Flashback from a long time ago.

"Yn! We almost got caught." Jason says, panting and bending over, after all the running.

"Well, it doesn't help when you basically shout what direction i should run to or where i need to go, they obviously know where to follow me then." You hiss back with a roll of your eyes.

"I told you not to come, you shouldn't risk getting arrested just to come with me." He tells you annoyed. He liked having you around, but when he wanted to mess with people in a little illegal way, he didn't want you to get caught up in it.

"Someone needs to watch your back." You tell him.

"I was doing fine on my own." He says.

"Yeah, right." You say sarcastically and he sighs.

You sit on the ground to relax after the marathon it felt like you ran.

"I have an idea." You say and he looks up at you. "We make a code language."

"A code language?" He frowns.

"Yes, way of talking to each other, but only you and i will understand what we're talking about." You say excitedly.

"Sure, Yn. Let's do it." He says, just to humour you, because Jason didn't really plan to bring you along on his mischievous outings. He didn't want to risk you getting caught up in his ways. He didn't hate the way you wanted to come with though, it made him feel a strange feeling inside whenever you did.

You make a code language in your free time, some help and suggestions from Jason but you mostly do it. But once you made the language, he found it fascinating and actually pretty good.

And as usual you managed to sneak along with everything Jason did, but with your new way of communicating in emergencies, you were never even close to being caught.
