Joke's On You

Chapter 2

Sienna's POV

"Frosty, Frosty, Frosty. You'll better make this up to me, or I have to do something very painful", She heard J growling from the hallway. Her head snapped up from the documents she was currently concentrated on and listened carefully. "Every other person would've been dead by now, I hope you appreciate that. Bring me this sapphire back, or this had been the last heist in your present life, am I clear?"

"Yes, boss", said Frost's deep voice.

"Good, go. I don't want to see you idiots for the rest of the day." Great, he was pissed. It was always such a pleasure to deal with an angry J.

J entered his office while Frost closed the door behind him. Their eyes locked and J ran his fingers through his green hair. "What happened?", she asked with a calm voice and stood from her seat behind his huge desk. She went over to him. "Frost fucked up today", J said shortly and Sienna noticed how hard it was for him to control his rage. She furrowed her brows. "How is that even possible? It never happened before." J snarled. "Yeah, tell me about it, doll." He passed her and stared out of the large window over the city that belonged to them. Sienna and J had been together for 4 years now and both of them ruled Gotham since he made her his. After all, a King was nothing without his Queen.

Sienna approached him slowly and leaned her shoulder against his. "I'm sure it won't happen again. Frost is a good man and he never let you down", she said and turned to look at her boyfriend but J kept staring out the window. "Yes, he never disappointed me. Until today!" J finally looked at her and then sighed. "I don't know what's gotten into him. He told me that Riddler's goons surprised them." Frost was normally able to handle surprise attacks pretty well. Weird.

J suddenly took his phone out of his pocket. Sienna knew exactly what he was about to do. J was just very, very, very impatient. "How's it going?", J asked Frost and Sienna could hear Frost's voice on the other line. "I knew you wouldn't fuck it up a second time, good man, Frost", J said and then hung up the phone.

"Told ya, baby", she smirked. "You can rely on Frost. He will make it up to you", Sienna assured him and gave him a quick peck on the lips. A growl escaped him and he grabbed her hips to pull her closer to him. She giggled and he started to kiss her roughly but Sienna stopped his hands that were about to slide down her body when she noticed how late it already was. "J...", she whispered between kisses. "You have another meeting to attend, remember?" He just shook his head and wanted to kiss her again but Sienna pushed herself now entirely from him. "You shouldn't be late." J rolled his eyes but smirked at her. „I can do whatever I want, baby." Sienna smiled. "More or less", she said and accompanied J to the front door where he gave her one last kiss. "I'll be back soon", he promised. She nodded and a smile formed on her full lips. "I can't wait!"

She closed the door and waited for like 5 minutes before she also left the penthouse that she shared with J and made her way over to the elevator that would bring her downstairs. The elevator doors opened a few minutes later and she stepped out. Sienna walked into the hallway and turned right to find most of J's henchman sitting at a table, playing cards. All of them stopped their game when they noticed her. „Who was with Frost on the heist today?", Sienna asked and looked at everyone with a sharp gaze. Two men raised their hands. "Tell me about what happened", Sienna demanded and took a seat at the front of the table. She leaned back and crossed her arms. Jimmy and Tony, the two henchmen who participated in the heist today, shared a look and then Jimmy started to speak: "Everything went smoothly until Riddler's goons suddenly appeared. We were able to shoot most of them down and Frost nearly got the jewel that the boss wants but then..." Jimmy stopped talking and shared another look with Tony. Sienna grew impatient.

"Then what?", she asked sharply.

"There was this girl", Tony continued. „She appeared out of nowhere and got her hands on the sapphire before Frost could even take another step."

"A girl? What did she look like?", Sienna asked, confused.

"Red, curly hair and she was clothes entirely in black. She looked very young, not older than 19", Jimmy explained and Sienna squinted her eyes. "She works for the Riddler then." Jimmy and Tony nodded. "Probably, but Frost sill behaved weird", added Tony.

„What do you mean?"

"He could have tried to get the sapphire back but he only stood there, paralyzed. Frost just stared at her und let her escape. At least it looked like it", Tony said and Jimmy agreed with a short nod. Sienna was even more confused now. She just couldn't imagine Frost not being focused on a heist. The whole thing was quite out of character for him.

"Thank you for telling me", Sienna said. As if they had another choice. But still, manners were important to her. Jimmy and Tony just nodded and went back to their game when Sienna left the room. She took the evaluator upstairs again and returned to the penthouse rather quickly. As soon as she closed the door behind her, she looked for her phone and found it on the kitchen counter a few minutes later. Sienna dialed Frost's number and didn't have to wait long for an answer. "Yes?"

"Frost, I need you to be completely honest with me", she said.

"I wouldn't dare to lie to you", Frost responded. Sienna faked a laugh. "Yeah, you would rather lie to J." There was a silence before J's right hand spoke again. "What?"

"I talked to the other guys. They told me about the heist and the girl."

Another silence followed. "What did they tell you?", he asked. Sienna rolled her eyes. "The truth, you idiot. Because they wouldn't dare to lie to me, either." She heard Frost let out a sigh. "Look, I'm trying to track her down right now. I just payed Ricky a visit and he told me where I could find her."

"It's true then", Sienna said. "All of this trouble is caused by a young girl?" She had to laugh at the thought. "Alright, tell me what you know." Frost didn't hesitate. He told her about everything Ricky Preston had said and that he will head to the bar now where he suspected to meet her. "Okay, this sounds like a plan", Sienna muttered and ran her left hand through her dark hair. "I want you to keep me updated, understand?"

"Of course", Frost replied. „But can I ask for a favor?"

"Depends", Sienna said. "Shoot."

"Could you please not tell the boss about all this? It's embarrassing enough that this girl stole the sapphire right before my eyes." Sienna sighed. "You're asking very much of me."

"I know and I'm truly sorry", Frost said. "I'm just...I'm just trying to stay alive." His words did something to her. Frost had always been J's best henchman and that's why he became his right hand. Sienna knew the stories. And she wouldn't want to lose Frost over something like this. Loyal and skilled henchman were hard to find, after all. J was not the only one who relied on Frost. He was very useful to Sienna as well and she had started to respect him a long time ago.

And that was the reason why she eventually gave in to his request.

"Alright, Frost. You can count on me. I won't tell J anything." She could hear Frost sighing in relief and a small smile appeared on her lips. "Just hurry up and don't get distracted again."

"Thank you. I'll do my best", Frost assured her and she hang up the phone.
