The After Joke - Part 2

Your P.O.V
Your scream lasted for a short while but, after finding yourself still unharmed, you looked up in confusion.  As your arms lowed themselves from your eyes, the Joker, seeing your fear, laughed.  "Oh Y/N how I've missed you."  He said.  Through your blurred vision, you saw your phone with a gaping bullet hole in it, dead.  You wiped away the tears blurring your vision and looked over at the security guard.  The Joker followed your gaze.

You swallowed nervously.  "W-what did you do to him?"  You asked.  The Joker walked around you and over to the man, poking his face.  The guard had died smiling.  His face, twisted with his teeth showing.  A smile like that of the Joker's.  You shivered and looked away.

The Joker quite poking the man and looked at you, tilting his head.  "So how bout a final chance with that deal huh?"  You shook your head, to scared to speak.  The Joker frowned and stood up.  "So that's the way it's gonna be huh?"  Then he smiled.  "How bout we take a walk to clear your mind?"  Taking your by your hair, the Joker yanked you up, training the gun to you head.

The Joker pulled you though the halls of the company building and down to the main lobby.  You gasped as you saw Harley and a few masked goons holding other staff members hostage.  "No!"  You yelled, struggling.  The Joker yanked your hair and you were silenced. "Now."  The Joker said, letting go of your hair.  "We can do this the easy way... Or the hard way."  The Joker aimed the gun at one of the staff, a secretaries.

"N-No please!  I have a wife, adopted kids!  Don't let them loose another mom-". The Joker shot her in the head and you covered your mouth with your hands to prevent yourself from throwing up.  The women dropped to the floor, the blood running out and mixing with her smeared makeup.  The Joker turned back to you.  "For every time you refuse my offer, one of these lovely volunteers dies!"  He said laughing.

Harley joined in the laughter, pulling out a knife and putting at a security guard's neck.  "Yea sweetie."  She said.  "And the next ones won't end so nicely."  The Joker grinned as you stared blankly at the floor in shock.  "Now now Y/N..."  He said, pacing around you.  "You can save them all.  Just give me the goods."  You closed your eyes tight, letting the tears run out.  "I-I can't!  You'll use them for bad!" 

Harley sliced the neck of the security guard.  Blood spilling all over the staff and goons.  He cried out in pain before falling to the floor, creating a growing puddle of blood.  "Stop!"  You cried out.  The Joker played with his gun. "I'll... I'll..."  You couldn't finished the thought.  Helping the Joker would go against all your morals.  Everything you stood for.  But people's lives were at stake.  You had to choose between them and your own wants.

Luckily, you didn't have to make up your mind.  Just before you opened your mouth, the glass above the main entrance shattered and the famed Batman swung in, followed by his accomplice, Robin.  The Joker grabbed you before you could run and held you as you watched the dynamic duo fight the goons.  The goons were no match for the dark knight as he slammed his fist into their faces, dodging or blocking their attacks. 

"Go get the car Harley!"  Joker yelled to his accomplice.  "Sure thing Mr. J!"  She yelled.   Frowning, she took off running in the opposite direction of the main battle, toward the back entrance.  Robin tried to follow her but was blocked by more goons appearing from the shadows.  Although they were outnumbered, they certainly weren't outs killed.  The two kicked down everything that came at them, defeating all who stood in their way.  Soon, it was only the Joker left.

"Robin."  The dark knight said.  His voice was deep and gravely but it oddly reminded you of someone.  "Take the remaining staff outside."  Robin opened his mouth to protest but Batman turned.  "Go!"  He said in a slightly louder voice.  Robin closed his mouth and nodded solemnly.  Helping one of the former prisoners up, Robin helped take them away.  You closed your eyes in relief as you heard the sound of police pulling up.
