Chapter 17

Y/N POV

I wake up again and J isn't there. Makes sense I guess a hardened criminal can't even be seen sleeping it makes him look "too soft" but whatever. I get dressed in the most casual clothes now. I wear sweat shorts and a tank top and go down to get breakfast barefoot. It's around 8 am and no one else is awake. Or they are and I just don't know it. I go to the kitchen to see 3 people dressed in cooks clothing and their cooking away. "Hello...?" A big man looks up surprised and runs over to me. "Ah hello you must be miss Y/N, I am Jacquard Delmont." He says with a wave of his hand. "I am head chef of Mr. Jokers and I was just finishing up breakfast for you all." I was confused I've never seen him before. "I-I'm sorry sir Delmont but I've never seen you before why are you suddenly here today."
"Ah yes I am so so sorry," he tilts his head back in agony. "I've been rather sick and trust me I'd still be out of Mr. Joker did not threaten to have my head if I did not come back. Ha he loves my cooking too much." He is very self assured and I can't help but giggle at him. He looks down at me quickly with a stern look. "Now shoo shoo shoo I breakfast will be ready soon and I promise it will be worth waiting 100 years." He scoots me out of the kitchen and then runs back to work. That man was quite a card I'll admit.

I turn back to go up the stairs and maybe J's in his office I skip while I'm in the upstairs hallway I turn to knock on J's office when I see from peripheral vision J coming out of his bedroom. He was wearing his Arkham sweats but they were grey this time. Apparently he had multiple pairs... from multiple visits. "Ah Y/N your awake I came to come find you but you weren't in bed. Your up early." He comes over and takes my hand. "Yea I guess I'm just an early bird." He smiles and laughs at me. "Not from the past couple mornings have I seen that." We both laugh. "So are you ready to start training." Oh right I completely forgot... "oh yea sure." He grabs my arms. "Good, go get dressed, we'll get some breakfast and then we'll begin." He walks down the hall and down the stairs. "Well I'm fucked..." I haven't worked out in like 10 months, this was gonna be terrible.

I go into the bedroom and grab a sports bra, a big thin tshirt, and spandex shorts. Ready as I'll ever be. I walk down the stairs to find J in the dining room and he's eating his breakfast. I sit across from him and immediately a man from the kitchen brings me a platter of eggs, toast, ham and milk. It's really good, actually the best I've ever eaten. "Jacquard!" I yell from the dining room. I see him run in from the kitchen and stand respectively with his hands behind him. "You were right I can tell he went even more crazy without you." I wink at him and I giggle. I can see him smirk as he walks away. I look back at J, he has the funniest confused/awkward faces I've ever seen. "Oh calm down it's a joke!" I say to him he laughs and we finish our breakfast.

He takes me into the gym as he stares at me, as if I knew what he wanted. "Uhhh what now?" I ask him he looks disappointed "ohhh you forgot your guns and your holsters!" I see him start to text someone on his phone. "I'm sorry I didn't know I would need them..." he laughs maniacally. "Well what did you think we were gonna do?" He smiles at me and winks. I blush at what he says. Then we see Frost run in with my guns and holsters. "Ah here we are," J says as Frost hands me my guns. I strap them on and look at J. He shoos Frost away and walks over to the wall of the gym. "Uhh Ok so seriously what not?" J laughs then presses a button on wall and opens a stair case that leads downstairs. I follow J down the small stairs case. It wasn't many steps only maybe 8, but it was a room filled with weapons, all different kinds. Knifes, guns and bats. There were also dummies in the corner and a shooting range. "So where shall we begin?" J motions to everything in the room.

He got my set up at a shooting range and told me what to do. "Now there always going to be lots of distractions when your in action but all you have to do is let yourself go. Let your crazy thoughts come through and just listen to immediate thoughts and ideas that first pop in your head, got it?" I nod my head pointing both my guns at the target ahead. "Ok go!"
