His Angel // A Joker Fanfic //

Chapter Twenty Seven - Pancakes And Plans

I woke up to the sweet smell of fresh pancakes. I opened my eyes and looked over at Jack, except he wasn't there. Where did he go? I felt my tummy rumble and decided to go see who's cooking. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and slowly walked out of the room and down to the kitchen. The smell grew stronger and stronger, making my mouth water more every second. Once I got to the kitchen I leaned against the doorframe and admired the amazing chef. "Morning." I yawned as I walked over to the stools and sat down. "Morning doll face. You hungry?" Jack asked as he handed me a plate. He put all of the pancakes onto the plate and set out another two, one for each of us. "Do you know where Harley is?" I asked as I took a bite out of a pancake. They were actually really good. "She spent the night at Ivy's and Selina's. Should be back some time today." He said as he came around and sat next to me. "Wish she wouldn't though." He sighed as he starting eating his breakfast. "Oh, and why's that?" I asked with a smirk on my face. I could already guess his answer, I just wanted to hear him say it. "Because I have a lot of paper work to do and that girl is extremely distracting." He explained, sounding slightly annoyed. Oh, well not quite the answer I was hoping for, but ok. "And because I want to have one day alone with my Angel." He smiled at me as he held my hand in his. Now there's the answer I was looking for. After about ten minutes we had finished our breakfast. We had a little playful fight and we both ended up covered in maple syrup. "I'm gonna go have a shower." I said as I put my plate in the sink. "Hmm me too. Would you like to join me?" He asked with a cheeky smile on his face. I playfully punched his arm and headed out of the kitchen. "Yea nice try Jack." I laughed as I ran up the stairs. "Can't blame me for trying!" I heard him call out to me.

I walked out of the bathroom in a grey tank top, black shorts and a towel around my head. I jumped when I realised Harley was sitting on my bed. "Shit Harls are you trying to give me a heart attack?" I asked as I dried out my hair. "Maybe." She giggled, but suddenly she went all serious. "Okay look Maddie, I think it's about time we really find out what this plan is. What do ya say?" She asked as she got up and walked over to me, completely serious. That actually doesn't sound that bad, I really wanna know why exactly I'm here in the first place. I nodded, but then remembered. "Wait, J said he has heaps of paper work to do, and that you're really distracting." I explained as I grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving the room. "And your point is?" She trailed off. Does she have a death wish? I gave it a long hard thought. I do want to know, but I don't want to bother Jack. "Fine, lets go." I sighed. We made our way downstairs and we stopped a few meters away from Jack's office door. "Stand outside the door and listen okay. But make sure he doesn't realise that you're here." Harley instructed, I nodded in agreement. This could be the death of her, but I'm pretty sure she knows what she's doing. At least I hope so. She knocked on the door and just walked in, not even letting him answer. This is it.

~Joker's POV~

Harley walked into my office before I could even answer her. Oh great she's back, well there goes my day alone with Maddie. "Get out Harley." I snapped at her, but she didn't move. "I just wanna ask ya somethin." She said innocently. Oh god here we go. What could she possibly want to ask me? Can't she see I'm very busy? Why can't she go up and talk with Maddie? "Unless you want me to shove a grenade down you're throat I suggest you leave now." I said, almost shouting. "It's about Maddie." She said quietly, still not moving. I groaned in defeat, knowing she wasn't going to leave. "Well what is it then?" I snapped at her. She slowly walked forward until she was on the opposite side of my desk. "I just wanted to know what exactly your plan is. You know, the whole reason why she's here." She said with an innocent smile. I know she's up to something, I can tell. If I tell her my 'plan' she'll go and tell Maddie, which I can't let her do. "That's non of your business." I snapped at her, focusing back down at the papers in front of me. "Oh really, because from how I see it, you don't even have a plan at all." She smirked.

Yea she's definitely up to something. But how the heck does she know? "That's stupid Harley, now will you leave me alone." I said, trying to get her to leave. "You don't have a plan do ya Mistah J?" There's no way I'm going to get her to leave without me telling her the 'plan', and she'll know if I'm lying because she's known me long enough now to be able to tell. I sighed in defeat and ran my fingers through my green hair. "Okay fine. I did originally have a plan, but then i realised once the plan is done she'll leave. And i don't want that, and i..." I shouted but not loud enough for Maddie to hear upstairs, then paused for a minute. When I finally gathered up the right words I spoke. "And I've fallen in love with her." I mumbled, hoping she wouldn't hear me. I looked up at her and she looked completely shocked. I would too if I were her, hearing that the Joker has just admitted he is in love. But I had to say it, because it's true. "I swear Harley if you tell anyone about this, I will kill you. And that's a promise." I growled as she nodded her head. "I promise Mistah J, not a word out of my mouth." And with that, she skipped out of the room.

~Angel's POV~

That's all I had to hear. I couldn't hear what Jack had mumbled at the end, but all before that was plenty. I'm here for absolutely no reason at all. As Harley made her way out of his office I quietly ran up to my room. I have to leave, I can't stay here. He took me away from my life, away from my family, away from my little home, everything. I grabbed the bag i had grabbed from my apartment and put all of my personal stuff back into it. I found a duffel bag in my wardrobe and packed a few clothes, toiletry supplies, my suit and my weapons. I know i won't be able to go back to my apartment because i haven't payed the landlord in like a month. I guess i could go crash at Ivy and Selena's for a bit, i'm sure they'd be fine with that. "Please don't tell me you're doing what i think you're doing." Harley said as she peeked around the door. Sighing loudly i dropped my bags and run up to her and hugged her. "I'm sorry Harls, but i can't stay here." I said as a tear rolled down her cheek. "I just... i just don't want to have another five years of my life without you." She sobbed. "Harley, it's not like i'm leaving Gotham. I'm going to stay with the girls for a bit until i can settle in somewhere. We'll still hang out and cause trouble together, and i could be okay with meeting up at J's club." I said as i pulled away and smiled at her. "Have you finished packing?" She asked as she wiped her tears away. I nodded as i grabbed my bags and we headed for the door, but before i left my room i remembered something i had to give her and Jack. The gift i got for them a while ago. I quickly ran over to the hiding spot and grabbed them both. I think now is the perfect time to give them these. "What's that?" She asked as we headed to the living room. Before i opened the door i handed her both the bags. "It's a little gift i got for you and J. This one's for you." I said as i pulled a box out of one of the bags, handing it to her. "The other one is for J." I explained as i opened the door. "Bye Harls." I said as i spread out my wings and lifted up into the air. I'm now free, but for some reason i still feel trapped.
