Insane Love (Batman X Joker X Reader){1}

Chapter 2

"I'm sorry, did you ask where the money was?" I was still puzzled by his words eventhough his abs were doing a good job of distracting me.
"Yes, I did" he replied with a larger grin on his face. Looking proud. Seeing his grin made me want to laugh along with him, but his green eyes made me want to sink into his arms.

I bit my lip when my eyes saw his lips. "I'm not sure if I'm ment to tell that to a customer, sorry Mr...?"
"Mr J. I prefer to be called Mr J. Especially by you baby girl"

I knew what he was doing when he called me "baby girl". I immediately rolled my eyes and giggled.

"Hey hotty, what's your name?" Said Jessica. My coworker had decided to walk over to me. Jessica is a really big flirt and I guess you could call her a "slut" because she's always sleeping with a guy instead of going out. Unless it's to get drink and meet a guy. She was stunning and way more pretty than me.

I knew I didn't have a chance with Mr J so... "It was nice meeting you, but I better get back to work". I walk calmly away towards the registers to see if they wanted to switch positions, without saying anything else. I could feel his gaze watching me walk away from him, but I didn't have time for anyone. I know, I know, he's just a customer. But it's better if she has him than I.

Jessica has time for guys and relies on them to buy her things. But that's not me. I work for what I want and what I need.

"Sure, you can work the register"

I stepped behind the counter greeting the customers with a welcoming smile. I don't know what else happened between them too, and to be honest, I don't want to know. I only saw him walk out the store confidently 20 minutes later.

*Time skip*

I worked my ass off for the rest of my working hours. It was finally time to grab my purse and leave. Thankfully it's the weekend, so I can sleep and catch up on Netflix.

What's weird though, well different, Jessica had already gone. Infact I haven't seen her since the unusual customer. But they didn't leave together. She's probably in a rush to have a drink with him at a bar.

I grabbed my black purse and left making sure that I said goodbye to everyone. I left through the back because I'm an employee, it's through a dark ally, which scares me. I can't help but think that some crazy lunatic will come out and stab me.

I closed the door behind me looking up to see the sky had been darkened due to time. It's night. Around 9pm at this point.

Bing. A notification popped up on my phone. "Yey, new PLL" I said with joy filling my voice. Yes, I talk to myself, it's just thinking out loud. Totally normal if you ask me.

"HELP!" A women screamed in a near by ally. In Gotham, all you hear are criminals doing their acts. You learn to not help their victims because you'd be their next victims. I always want to help, it's hard to just ignore it.

"HELP!" I heard again the women screaming. I recognised the cry for help. It was Jessica. As much as a slut she is and steals everyone's guy, she's the closest thing I've got to a friend. I know, sad right?

I heard her scream and rushed to where it was coming from.

This ally was darker than the work ally. It smelt of urine and alcohol. I saw her at the back of the dead ended ally. Two guys had her against the dirty brick wall. I had to help her. How? Should I distract them?

"Hey! Leave her alone!". Okay big mistake, I clearly didn't think this through.

The two rough guys turned their heads to look at me. They must have seen the fear in my eyes but I held my fists in a motion as if I was about to punch. I walked further confidently. But I was trembling.

"(Your name)! Help me, please!" She begged.

I only thought of one thing to say...
"Let her go, you can have me instead" I didn't know what they were going to do to her. Maybe rape, or kidnap, or just hurt her, but I would rather be tortured than see my friends hurt.

One of the well built guys stood their staring at me, untill they nodded their heads and he said "Boss said he just wanted a girl" followed by "we agree to your swap, but you are clearly mental".

I opened my mouth wide in shock of their words. Then closed it. And I just scarled at them giving a look that could seriously kill. Then I just giggled at their serious faces.

They let her run away, leaving me, doing nothing. I knew what I agreed to though. I sacrificed myself for her in all ways.

One of the rude goons grabbed my arm and dragged me along. Where were we going? I thought to myself. Until I recognised where we were, but I've only heard of it. I've never seen this place in person. But why here?
