Joker's Ace (sequel to Joker's weakness)

Chapter 44: Meeting

I opened the door and  walked down the stairs to find not a henchmen in sight. That was unusual because they where always there. I walked down the hall. I've never been on this side of the house before. I never needed to. I started opening all the doors. But stopped when I heard voices coming from the door at the end of the all.

I got there and looked at the door. Yeah I was wondering if I could come with you guys for no fucking reason. I shook my head. Just walk in and come up with that shit on the spot. You practically own this place.

I opened the door. All the henchmen where sitting at a long table with Joker at the end. Joker was in the middle of talking but stop and looked at me. Everyone's eyes were on me. That would be about 10 people. I shut the door behind me. Joker raised his eyebrows like he was waiting for me to say something. "Uh yeah. I was wondering-" I was cut off by Joker's overly exaggerated sigh.

"If I could-" I was again cut off by Joker. "Have a pony? New car? New house?" Joker sarcastically said. "No I was gonna say-" he cut me off for a third time. "Then I already gave you everything you could ever want so what could it be this time?" He asked. You could tell he was kinda mad that I interrupted his little meeting.

"I wanted to go with you and help you." I said then sat next to him. There was two empty seats on each side of him I guess the henchmen were scared of him. He smirked. "No." Was all he said. I gave him a confused look. "Fine." I said then glared at Derek a crossed the table.

I was about to stand up. "You don't want to know why?" Joker asked. "Didn't want to go that bad anyway." I replied. He rolled his eyes. "Still sad about about happened a month and a half ago?" He asked. I thought it was longer. Wait he really just said that.

"You don't even know half of what he did." I said. "He beat you." He said with a straight face and a little shrug like it was nothing. I looked at the room full of henchmen and back at Joker. "And?" I said. "And it's been forever ago get over it." He said with no emotion what so ever. "I meant AND what else did he do. Because like I said you don't even know half of what he did." I said as I stood up.

He grabbed my wrist so I wouldn't leave. "I've been through worse." He said. I yanked away from him. I looked at the henchmen again then back to Joker. He really wants to start something in front of them. I shook my head. "You've been kidnapped? You've been left for two days without food and water? You've been almost set on fire? You've almost froze to death trying to save yourself? You've been beaten senseless? Thrown down stairs?" I asked taking a deep breath.

"Fine you can go." He said sighing. I smiled. He gave me a confused look. "I'm over the whole thing anyway. Like I said before can't brake what's broken." I said with a little shrug. Of course that was a lie. I'm traumatized. I looked at the henchmen. "I'm sure you guys enjoyed that little show. Now what are we doing?" I asked. "I'll explain in the van but right now we have to leave." Joker said then stood up.
