Joker's Ace (sequel to Joker's weakness)

Chapter 4: Work for me?

I'm sitting in a dirty holding cell. It's been like 30 minutes since I've been here. "Mm pretty." I look behind me and see a guy staring me. He was in the holding cell next to me. What the fuck. I stand up and smile. I then motion for him to come to me. He smiled back then started coming to the bars. I slowly put my hands threw the bars. I then quickly grab his shirt and slam him into the bars. He fell to the ground instantly. "Nasty pervert." I said. I then sat down. A police officer opened to door. "Your free to go." He said to me. What? Why? Who baled me out? I walk to the front of the building to see Bruce. Oh no. He didn't look as mad as I thought he'd be. Weird. He smiled when he seen me. Really weird.

We walk out and get into his car. "What happened?" He asked. "I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk. I run into this girl and we got into a fight." I told him. "That's it?" He asked. "Well I accidentally punched a cop when they where pulling me off of her." I replied. "Is that all?" He asked. No, I shouldn't tell him i was with Joker and batman. He glanced at me waiting for an answer. I sighed. "Well I seen batman." I told him. "Oh yeah? What was he doing?" He asked. "Beating the crap out of Joker." I replied. "Why?" He asked. Oh my gosh so many questions. "Um I don't know." I lied. It's not easy to lie to him. He's been nice to me. "Oh, well just don't get into anymore fights. I don't want have to come back here at 1 in the morning. If I get a call again saying your in jail your staying there." He said. "Ok." Is all I said.

I felt my pocket and felt two phones. I took out the one Joker gave me. I was carful to not let the other one fall out so Bruce didn't see. I turn the new phone on. Bruce looked at my phone. He looked a bit surprised. "Do you like your phone?" He asked. "Yeah I love it." I replied. The phone was all ready set up. I unlocked it. It said I had one new message. I opened the message. The person's name in my phone was 'your favorite criminal' then it had a smiley face emoji. I see Joker put himself in my phone. I changed the contact name to J. Not Joker because if someone sees who I'm texting I'm dead.

The message read [Did you think about the offer?] I replied to the text with [Yeah, it's still no.] The bubble came up to say that he was texting back. It took him a little awhile but he finally texted [Really? After I still gave you the phone?] I texted [After you watched and did nothing about the fight I was in?] the bubble came back up but then went away. Like he was going to say something but didn't. I turned off my phone.

When we got to the mansion we got out and went inside. My phone lit up in my hand. I look at the text. [I knew you'd win so I didn't worry.] Joker texted back. "Who's that?" Bruce asked. "My friend." I told him. "Okay well I'm going back to bed." He said then turned and left. I text [Why do you need me?] I then went upstairs and to my bedroom. My phone lit up again. [I could use someone like you.] he replied. [So your not just going to use me then kill me? Because I've been wondering why you haven't killed me yet.] I texted then threw my phone on my bed.

I went into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. I had a bloody lip. I put on a tank top and shorts then I took my broken phone out of my jeans. I went to my drawer and put it in. I turned off the light and laid in bed. I turned on my phone. It said I had one missed call from J. I texted him. [I don't want to call you.] He texted back [Why?] I sighed then texted [I don't know it could be that Im not in the mood to talk to a psycho killer at like 2 in the morning.] He called again but I didn't answer. [Just pick up the phone Ace.] he texted. [No Joker.] I text back. Ace and Joker. I like the sound of that. I turned my phone off and closed my eyes.

As I was drifting asleep the phone rang. I picked it up and answer it. "Goddamn it Joker. I'm trying to sleep." I told him. He laughed. "Ace when are you going to work for me?" He asked. His voice and laugh sounded much creepier on the phone. "Never." I replied. "Hmm that's not going to work." He said. "Your just going to use me then kill me. I'm not stupid." I told him. "I'm not going to kill -" I didn't let him finish I just hung up the phone. He's going to call me back all pissed. I already know. I turn off my phone and close my eyes. I feel like he's going to come to the house and murder me now. He would do something like that.

The phone rang again. Here we go. I pick up the phone. Doesn't he get that I don't want to talk to him. I answered. "I'm trying-" I was cut off by Joker. "Don't you ever hang up on me! Got it?!" He yelled. "You see that's why I'm not going to work for you. You need to control your anger!" I yelled back. He sighed. "Fine if I control my anger will you work for me?" He asked. "Joker I never will work for you. So stop asking." I tell him. "Fine but you better watch your back." He said then hung up. Oh shit! now he's really going to kill me. I put my phone on the table and shut my eyes. I was afraid my door was going to swing open and Joker would be there ready to kill me. I finally fell asleep.
