Jokers Daughter x Jerome Imagines

Visiting Jerome In Arkham

You sat on the couch trying to keep your composure together and hold back your tears. Your father kept switching between news channels hearing the different reports on what was happening. Jerome always tried to prepare you for the day when this would inevitably happen. He had been through this before but it was the first time since the two of you began dating that he was being taken away from you and sent to Arkham. It was supposed to be the perfect date night filled with laughter, love, murder everything the two of you shared storming the police department and wreaking havoc. When the swat teams arrived all became a blur and the only thing you can really get level in your head was Jerome’s voice screaming at you to run. When the police footage showed him shooting the camera you had to look away because you knew what happened next. He was captured.

“Weren’t you there tonight princess?” The Joker said not taking his eyes off the tv. 

You wanted to throw yourself into your fathers arms and cry and have him make you feel better like he always did, but that would mean telling him that you did the one thing you were not supposed to do. Fall in love, and especially fall in love with Jerome. You mustered up all the strength you could to respond.

“Yes daddy..” 

“Did you and your friends see this happen?” he continued.

Friends, what friends? You thought to yourself. It was all a lie you had to keep telling your parents so you could see the only other person you had besides them. You took a deep breath and shook your head to get yourself back to normal. “Nope. Not a thing. We just stole some guns then left. Real shame though, whatever he did I bet it was fun.” you turned to your dad and smiled.

“Oh don’t you start now.” Joker smiled back at his daughter, flattered at her sense of humor but still cautious around the subject. “You stay away from people like Jerome. That goddamn copycat, he thinks he’s the next Joker or something.”

It was just something you couldn’t deny, daughters always date their fathers, it was a stereotype you didn’t mind because it was all you knew. You grew up in a family of clowns so it was only right that you would fall in love with one. You felt your phone vibrating next to you and picked it up to see a number you didn’t recognize, it only meant one thing. You quickly got up and hurried to your room and locked the door. The Joker turned a side eye to his daughter in suspicion.

You answered the phone with your heart racing, “Jerome?”

“Hey there gorgeous, miss me yet?” his malicious voice was the most relieving sound you had heard.

“I miss you like crazy you stupid clown.” you teased at him finally being able to let tears fall from your eyes

“Crazier than usual?” his laughter filled the phone and you felt your heart calm down. “Listen baby I only get one phone call so we gotta plan this out now.” his voice went deep and stern. “If you show up they’ll know who you are, disguise yourself with the stuff and come to arkham as soon as you can. I’m in my usual cell block.”

As he talked you began to gather up all the stuff you had hidden for when this day came.

“They’ll let us talk in the rec room for visitors, then we can play something more fun huh?” he growled into the phone and it made you nostalgic of the way your father growled at your mother. Ever since you were a little girl you wanted a love like like Harley and Joker and now you have found it.

“I’ll be there.” you said 

The phone on his end went silent for a moment besides the rustling of keys and patients in the back. You almost hung up because you couldn’t wait to go and see him until you heard the breathing start up again.
