Through the camera's, I saw Joker walking with his henchmen. They rounded corners and he followed without stopping. Every once in a while he would stop and look at a camera and wink or smile are me. His movements were all frantic and shaky. Every time he gets like this, it means there's too much excitement. It happens most when he knows he's about to kill someone. It reminds me just how crazy he is.
An alarm was sounded in the building and I tried to stop it. "Run fast, J. I've only got so much control of the system until they figure out they've been hacked." His eyes went frantic as he looked around for a camera. Too focused on running, he never saw them. "To your right is an elevator. I'll take you to where you need to go." As followed, he went to the right and I opened the elevator doors and closed them as soon as I could.
Joker looked pissed, like always when his plans were a little messed up. His breathing was erratic and I sighed. "Look, it will all be okay. You'll kill him and get out. I'm here and I will tell you if anything else goes wrong. Until then, know everything will be fine and I won't leave this spot until you come out." Honestly, I didn't know if it would be. My words were enough to calm him slightly as he looked around for a camera with softened eyes.
Once they got to the right floor, I opened it. Guards weren't anywhere I could see but I told them to still proceed with caution. Of course Joker didn't listen as he speed walked down the hallway. "The door at the end of the hallways is where you need to go." I started getting jittery because I'm not able to see all of his room. The man was in there, though. Joker and the boys got to the door and he had his men get in front of him.
His eyes turned to the camera and he smiled, blowing me a kiss. I rolled my eyes knowing his playful jester was for the moment.
Then the door was kicked down and the boys filled the room. The few guards in there were shot and the man sat in his chair, trying not to look terrified. Only two of our guys were shot and relief filled my body as I saw Todd was still alive and okay. This didn't really help though. Joker sat in the chair in front of the desk and crossed his legs. "Oh what a pleasant surprise, yes? How ya doin' my good old Franky?" Once again, I heard the frantic voice of his when he was ready to kill.
Frank nodded and didn't say a word. "Who even are you, Frank? I mean, really... you're no one. Yet you think you can kill my men. Why?" Joker was genuinely pissed at the man but nothing was said. This caused Joker to slam his gun on the table and rub his temples. "Answer me!"
The man gulped and I watched at the other cameras. About 27 floors down were men leading up the stairs. "Joker you need to hurry, there's guys coming." The man in the chair in front of him looked at a photograph and then to Joker again.
With a stutter in his voice he stated, "Bruce Wayne' told me you wouldn't find me." Joker went into a fit of laughter and then got his gun in his hand, cocking it and pointing it at the man as he spoke. "Good ol' Batsy lied, Frank." A shot was sounded into the room as I watched the man fall limp.
"Joker, get the fuck out of that room!" There wasn't anywhere he could go, honestly. The men were so close, only 5 floors away. Joker instructed his men to use some other stairs and I didn't pay attention to them, trusting they knew where to go. Joker went around the room and to the window. Taking his gun out made my heart stop. "Joker, no!" My words came out too late as he shot the window and fell down into the city streets. He was no longer in my view.
I sat crying for a while until I heard a knock on the door of the van. Thinking it was the henchmen, I fixed my attitude. However, as I opened the door, I'd seen Joker. Without meaning to, I wrapped my arms around him. There were cuts all over his chest and arms and even legs. Every part of my body was shaking and I couldn't stop the tears.
"You fucking psycho! I thought I lost you god dammit!" Joker chuckled and looked me in the eyes. For a moment I saw him looking at me how he used to. It was just for a moment until he pulled me into a hug once again.
When we were done hugging, we left. Tbere were no signs of his henchmen but they always have a way of getting out of these situations. "I had a pop up landing pad in my suit." I turned my head but kept my eyes on the road as he said what he did. Looks like he's got some new toys as well, huh? My main focus became the road once again and Joker turned on the radio.
"Just in, the Wayne Enterprises neighbor building was shot up by Joker himself. The reason has not been identified but we did notice he wasn't alone. Someone had hacked into the system to help him. This seems like the work of Maya Smith, the Queen of Gotham herself. Are they back together? What does this mean for Gotham?" Joke started laughing crazily and took one arm out of the van and started shooting at the sky. We were almost to my warehouse so I hit his chest. "I've done a great job at keeping this place a secret so how about you not attract attention." My voice got out more rudely than I had intended and I stopped the car and smiled at him, saying I was sorry.
When I walked into the house, Loki ran up to me. I picked him up and then walked into the downstairs bathroom, calling out for Joker. The first aid kit in my bathroom was actually rather large. I got that out and Joker sat on the toilet. "I'm going to stitch this one on your arm but the others need to just be cleaned. Could you get in the shower and wash off the dirtiness and blood?" He nodded and started taking off his clothes without warning.
It took a lot in me to not look at him but I didn't. Once he was done and had his boxer shorts on, I started cleaning up his wounds and stitching the one that needed stitching. It all reminded me of the old days. Honestly, the past two days have had that effect on me. Joker noticed my smile before I did and looked at me confused.
"Do you like seeing me hurt?" He said it playfully and it made me blush just a little bit as I finished his stitches up and put a bandaged around his arm.
"Why wouldn't I?" I winked at him and laughed just a little. "Now go away because I have to use the restroom. You can tell one of my men to get you some food. I want Chinese and uh, you know what I want from there." Joker smiled as me and eyed me up and down before walking out.
Was the news lady asking a legitimate question? Were we back together? Joker did say one favour and that was originally the only reason I'd done it in the first place. Maybe we can because this was a lot of fun...
