"I'm right here..." a soft voice spoke from behind the men. Joker turned on his heels at the familiar voice and looked in disbelief at the sight before him.
Leyla walked slowly towards them, being supported by her sister, her hair and dress disheveled. Her eyes met Jokers and she immediately broke free of Lana's grasp and walked to him.
He turned to face her completely, his heart melting at the pale sickly looking girl he had fallen for.
He quickly took a few steps and reached her, taking her in his arms.Her strength had diminished and the weak way she held on to him gave him the impression she was frail.
But he knew she wasn't.He resisted kissing her and instead brought a gun to her hand.
"Leyla..my dear..." his face twisted to a toothy grin and he extended his arm out as if beckoning to penguin.
"Please show our ungrateful guest what happens when they disrespect me..." the joker was all smiles as he watched Leyla grip the gun.
Leyla smiled weakly and walked up to Penguin.
"I don't want to kill you," she declared.
The penguin looked up at her, a look of disgust on his face.
"Of course not. You know about me and your sister." He smirked.
Leyla shook her head and looked back at Lana, who walked closer to them.
"Oswald, I do love you," Lana declared, "but I love my sister too. And you hurt her for your selfish needs. Who's to say you won't do the same with me?" Lana took the gun from Leyla.
"I would never hurt you," Penguin said lowly, his eyes widening at the sight of Lana gripping the gun and pointing it at him.
Jokers face twisted in a huge smile, content with what was about to happen.
"Lana, you don't have to." Leyla said.
"No Leyla, you don't have to. But I do." Lana spoke as she aimed for Penguins forehead.
Leyla stepped towards her sister but was held back by the Joker.
"Lana, you won't be the same. Don't do this!" She pleaded. "I will do it, just don't stain your hands with this."
Lana looked at her sister. "Why are you talking like that? Like you have..."
"I have killed Lana. And believe me, I act like I don't give a shit but i do! It hurts! At the end of the day that was someone's lover, someone's friend, someone's son, someone's father." Leyla's voice broke as she leaned her body towards the Joker, losing her balance. "It's not for everyone. Please don't."
The Joker looked down at Leyla in surprise.
She had never made her guilt obvious. In fact, she acted like she wanted the thrill, she loved it.Lana lowered the gun and glared at the Penguin. "Fuck off." She said before turning towards her sister.
The Joker held Leyla up now, motioning for his men to take care of the Penguin. Frost grabbed him by the arm and led him out to the van.
"Where are they taking him?" Lana asked in panic.
Joker smirked. "Don't worry about him."
"Let him go." Leyla said sternly to the Joker.
The Joker grit his teeth, anger taking over. "Don't tell me what to do." He hissed.
Leyla broke free from his grasp and narrowed her eyes at him. "He hurt me, not you or anyone else. Let him go." She said as calmly as she could, running out of breath.
"He did hurt me, Leyla. He hurt me when he hurt you. Don't you fucking get it?" The Joker rasped as he held on to her weakening body.
Lana nodded. "I can't be with someone like that Leyla, I don't care how much I love him. It's out of the question...Leyla?"
Leyla's eyes rolled back and she fell into Jokers arms. Lana hurried to her sister as the Joker laid her down to inspect her. Her color was fading and her breathing was ragged.
