His Angel // A Joker Fanfic //

Chapter Twenty Nine - Betrayed By "Love"

I slowly took a few steps forward as Harley closed the door behind me. The expression on his face was a mixture of anger, confusion and relief. I stopped a few steps away from him and stood there in silence. I have no idea what to say. "Um... hi Jack." I whispered smiling a little, bit his expression stayed the same. "Well well well. Look who came crawling back." He said coldly. What is with this guy? I heard he was having a major break down, and for some god damn reason I came back to help him. And this is how he greets me? What a jerk. I'm now regretting coming back. "Excuse me? I came back because i care about you. But if you're going to treat me like this, I'll just pack up and leave again." I said as I turned to leave. "Wait." He called as I went to open the door. I turned back around to find him standing right in front of me. He slowly raised his hand and caressed my check. This clown is ridiculously bipolar, yet I'm still falling for him. Might as well just send me to Arkham, I'm going insane. "You came back for me?" He asked softly. I nodded slowly, looking down at the ground. He gently grabbed my chin and lifted my head to look him in the eyes. "Why?" He asked, taking a step closer to me if that was even possible. I can't tell him that I have feelings for him, not yet. But I can't just say that I was bored and needed something to do. I need to start giving him hints that I do like him, so that if he really does like me back he'll possibly tell me. "I care about you Jack. And the fact that it's my fault that your acting like this, not eating, not sleeping, not even leaving your room...that made me feel somewhat guilty. But what you did... that hurt me Jack." I said softly as he played with a loose strand of my hair. Suddenly he grabbed the back of my head and pulled me into a kiss. But just as I started to kiss back he started trailing the kisses down my neck. Small moans escaped my mouth which only made him kiss more passionately. "So...you're...here...to...stay?" He asked between kisses. I pretended to think for a minute until I gave him my answer. "I guess I could stay around." I smiled. He then started laughing and threw his head back. "That's funny, cause I wasn't giving you a choice." He said as he finished laughing.

We laid silently on Jack's bed, his arms around me and my head rested on his shoulder. We've been in this position for at least ten minutes now, and not a word has been said between us. "Can we go do something tonight?" I asked softly, lifting my head so my eyes met his. "Actually baby i have business i have to catch up on, but i promise as soon as i'm done you and me can go do something." Jack said softly. I nodded and sat up. I wasn't going to ask if i could go with him, because i didn't really want to go anyway. I got off the bed and headed towards the door. "I'll see you when you get back then." I whispered as i opened the door. "As soon as i get back, we can do whatever you want baby." He smiled. I left his room and entered mine.Frost must have packed away all my clothes, because they are all back in the draws. I picked out a grey flannelette with a plain black t-shirt underneath, grey ripped jeans and my usual black converse, and put them on. I put on the necklace Jack gave me and jumped onto my bed. I heard the front door slam shut, meaning Jack had left. Suddenly my door burst open and Aston walked in "Hey Aston." I smiled, except this time he didn't return the gesture. "Um, i wanna come show you something." He said, sounding a little angry. What's wrong with him? Usually Aston is in somewhat of a good mood, i've never seen him like this. I got off my bed and walked over to him. I started to walk out of the room when i felt something hard hit the back of my head. I fell down to the ground and almost instantly passed out. The last thing i saw was Aston holding Harley's bat in his hand.

I slowly opened my eyes, only to find myself in a concrete room. Tied up to a chair in a concrete room with Aston standing in front of me? What? "Aston?" I whispered, unsure if he heard me. I could feel blood running down the back of my neck and down the left side of my face. "What's going on?" I asked, my voice a lot clearer. "You came back." He said bluntly, taking a step towards me. I'm starting to get a little worried about all this. What is he doing. "Can you please untie me?" I asked him. He laughed a little bit then pulled out a gun and pointed it at my head. "And why would I do that, hmm? I tied you up, why should I untie you?" He asked. What has gotten into him? That's not the Aston I know, that's an insane jerk standing in front of me. "What are you doing?" I asked, my voice a little shaky. "He tortured you Maddie, he took everything away from you yet you still come back for him. Not me, him." he said in an angry tone. "So that's what all this is about, me coming back. Aston I like you, but no in the way you want me to..." I trailed off at the old wooden door moving slightly. Aston wouldn't have noticed it because his back is facing the door, where Harley is hiding behind. I can see a bit of her pink hair, so I know it's her. Suddenly her head popped in the crack of the door, but only I could see her. Our eyes met and I gave her a look saying 'get help', and with that she got up and left. "I loved you Maddie. I could have given you the life he never could. But you still love him. So if I can't have you, no one can." He said, followed by a laugh. "You're sick you know that." I spat in his face, and he whipped it off with his sleeve.  And before I knew it there was a loud bang, and everything went black.

~Joker's POV~

I sat in the warehouse with Riddler and a few of my men, waiting for Mr Freeze to show up. Suddenly my phone in my pocket started buzzing, signalling that someone was calling me. Frustrated, I pulled out my phone and answered it. "What" I snapped, nearly shouting. "Um Mistah J, you need to come back here." I heard Harley's voice say softly, as if she was whispering. "Harley I am in a meeting right now, it can wait." I growled. "But Mistah J-" "Harley, hang up now or i'll send one of my men to the hideout to shove a hand grenade down your throat!" I shouted at her, everyone looking over at me. "Joker! Aston has Maddie tied up in the torture room and had a gun pointed at her head, and a couple of minutes ago I heard a gun fire. You gotta get over here now!" She said a lot louder. I immediately hung up and ran towards the exit. I got into my car and sped off towards the base. Luckily it's not too far away from here. I'm going to kill Aston when I get back. No, I'm going to torture him and slowly kill him. That's what he'll get for even touching my angel. I pulled up at the warehouse and quickly got out. I slammed the front door open only to find Harley waiting for me. "Where is she?" I growled. "Shh, follow me." She said, putting her finger on her lip and grabbing my arm. She dragged me downstairs towards the torture room. The door was slightly cracked open and I could see inside a little. I was heart broken at the sight in front of me. Maddie was tied to a chair with blood dripping down her face and a... bullet hole in her chest surrounded by blood. No...
