Climbing on top of that roof was crazy. Honestly, I need to workout more. Lucky for me, a women with bright red hair walked around in some pajamas in the garden. When I walked in, I instantly stopped feeling any pain I had. The plants moved to face me and Ivy stopped moving.
Without turning around, she spoke to me. "Well, I see you and Bruce are friends again." When she turned around, I wanted to cry. I really miss her and seeing her face brings me joy. "I gave you a serum once. It makes you stronger and faster and I know you know it does. Why don't you use that to your best ability?" If she wants my honestly and blunt answer then she might get butt hurt.
So, I'll give her my sugar coated answer. "I'd like to be stronger, honestly. I have used it some, just not much. I don't care to be faster, I don't want it. I don't want to scare the ones closest to me away." She nodded and walked closer to me.
When she was too far in my bubble, she stopped and placed her finger on my head. Something about me seemed lighter. "Well, you'll still be strong but you won't be faster. However, that's not exactly what I came here for." I nodded, really confused at everything.
"You know about The Reaper, yes? Well, she's tried to kill me once. Almost did and let me tell you, I really thot I was going to die." Wow, of course Ivy would be the one to get away. She's probably the most badass woman in Gotham. "I have reason to believe that I am next, again. I need someone to protect me and I think that person is you." That, I was not expecting.
Everyone wants me to do their dirty work. I guess that, for a friend I could. I do love Ivy with all of my heart. "Okay. I'll do it. I got to go though so I will see you around." Before she could respond, I left.
I laid in bed with Joker. We were both quiet and did nothing but look at the ceiling. There was a lot on my mind and maybe there was something on his? I don't know and right now I don't think I could handle anything other than my own stuff.
I'm strong and now I have to use it or it's worthless to have the serum in me. I have to go head on with someone who kills people like me for a living. I'm engaged. I'm friends with Batman? I need to get my shit together before people start to question my authority.
"Joker?" He opened his eyes and looked at me. "Let's go to my club. I want to be the boss tonight." A smile came to his lips and we both got up to go out.
Once we got into my club, everyone turned to look at us. I wore a gold dress while joker wore black dress pants, a gold button up, and some black suspenders. My heels made clicking noises as I went to my booth. Sadly, despite my name being engraved in it, a man sat with two bimbos in my seat. I don't go somewhere for three months and people forget about me.
Mostly everyone kept dancing, talking, and drinking. Some looked over here. The man, however, with his two bimbos, looked at me. "May I help you?" Fuck no did this man not just try my whole existence. He really doesn't know who I am. And of course Joker is getting our drinks.
"Oh, you haven't heard? I'm the boss of this joint." The man laughed and I pulled out a gun from my leg holster. "Being the boss means I get a booth." The man looked at the sign above the booth and then looked at me. The two girls walked away and I pointed my guns at him. "And being the Queen of Gotham mean no one disrespects me." One shot to the head right as Joker came back and he laughed as loud as he could.
The people in the club turned and looked, some afraid while others were just shocked. "Oh she's good." Joker said proudly before kissing me on my cheek and telling a henchmen to move the body. He did as told and him and I sat down in the booth.
"I love when you get all evil on people. Something just sparks up in ya when you're all dressed up with daddy doesn't it?" I laughed and nodded coming over to sit on his lap.
"Mr. and Mrs. J?" Oh so now I get called Mrs. J? We turned to look at the man who walked over to us and it was someone I've only ever once and he's not allowed here at my club.
I stood up and pointed a gun at him, only to get the same thing done to me by his goons. Joker stood up, his hands raised in the air and a smile on his face. "Ladies, ladies, ladies. Do we really want to start commotion in a place of fun?" Of course I do, honey.
Penguin told he goons to put their guns down but I kept mine up. "Maya, why don't you put your gun down since my nice friends here have?" How about I shoot you and your nice friends in the face?
Joker pushed my hand down and I told him to sit in the booth. Penguin did as I told him to and I did as well, sitting on Jokers lap. "Well, first of all, congratulations on the proposal! That ring looks amazing with that dress. Let me tell you how happy I am for the two of you!" Gosh I've never met someone so peppy.
I felt Jokers hand go under my dress and hold onto my ass and I smiled. "Thank you very much, Penguin. You do know that you're the reason so many of my people are dying, right?" He nodded, a creepy facial expression on his sickly looking face made me almost look away.
"Oh, yes I do. Some crazy widow is after every bad guy because her man couldn't follow the law. That's why I'm here. I heard you wanted the story and being that I am too kind, I decided to give this story a go to you, ma'am." I nodded but my head stayed raised. Jokers face was stern and evil, staring at the man in front on me. My hand stayed on the gun that was in my small little leg holster.
Penguin rubbed his hands together and sniffed a little bit. "So, once upon a time, there was a man. I had my best friend and second hand man killed because of this man. Which is weird because some random drunk driver killed a skillful killer faster and easier than professionals could." I actually kind of feel bad right now. "Anyways, I got angry because my best friend was gone. So I found him and killed him inside of his home, leaving little pieces of James all over his room." You know, I don't feel bad anymore. That's just... that's a whole new level of crazy I wouldn't be able to reach.
Joker laughed a tiny bit and Penguin tilted his head. "What seems to be the problem?" I felt Joker tense up and his grip on my ass became tighter which only caused me to hit my fist on the table. "Enough speaking right now, Penguin." They both stared into each other eyes and I felt Joker calm down a bit.
"You made a woman mad and now my people are dying left and right!" He started blinking really fast and I got up to go to his side. "Why don't you just go to this woman instead of watching people die left and right?" My anger was becoming worse and worse as I continued talking. "My city is becoming less evil and its your fault. Fix it or I'll kill all of your friends and glue your eyes open so you can watch them slowly die in your name!" He nodded and kept smiling. I know it wasn't genuine.
"You shouldn't make threats during a civil conversation Mrs. J." Joker stayed sitting down, watching all of it. I walked over towards him and looked at Penguin. He's only fueling me to keep this up. "I don't make threats, I make promises. Your time is ticking Penguin. Now get away from me." There were no words from him and he walked out, limping more than anyone I've ever seen.
"Why must you play around with the crippled man. Don't you know he's a good guy?" I looked at Joker, knowing he knows that I'm pissed and he's teasing me. I sat on the other side of the booth and continued drinking. I'm almost out.
"I need a nickname. One that will stick." Joker smiled and we both thought.
I honestly don't know what to think. Theres Theia? She's the goddess of sight. That would be a good one? I honestly have no idea what I would like to be called. Maybe I'd like to be called just Mrs. J. I like the thought of people calling me that. I think I like that. Let's do that.
"How would you feel if I was to be called Mrs. J?" Jokers face lit up and he leaned over the table to kiss me.
"Well, that's the best nickname in the world." I smiled and got a really strange feeling in my stomach. Something that felt alive and good. I love this man and everything he does to me.
