Joker's new queen

Jokers pov:
I watched her as she let go of her sanity for a second and I smirked. I knew she still couldn't be sane after all those years being locked up and tortured. I laughed and leaned back in my chair "I will be careful dragon" I said and smiled "but I do want to get close to dear Anastasia, and I do what I want" I said, staring at the girl in front of me. Soon enough she has herself reigned back in just as quick as she lost her sanity. "Welcome back" o said with a smirk, noticing the life coming back into her eyes. "I have another mission for you later, so be ready when I call for you" She scowls, but nods as a sign of her reluctant obedience.

Anastasia's pov:
  Getting bored of the conversation, I silently made my way out of the door and walked to the jokers room. Well I guess it was our room, I crawled onto the big bed and searched for the remote to turn on the tv on the opposite side of the room. Finally finding the remote, I wrapped the blankets around myself and turned on the tv, watching the first thing that caught my eye. Getting so into the movie I didn't notice Joker walk in until he wrapped his arms around my waist and I tensed up instantly and I heard him laugh "still not comfortable around me doll" I grit my teeth and keep my eyes on the screen, ignoring his comment. I slowly get sucked back Into the movie, forgetting that he was there. After awhile my eyes start to get heavy and I start dozing off, leaning back as I fall asleep.

Jokers pov:
I watched her as she dozed off and I laughed lightly as she leaned against me as she slept. "She was beautiful I could give her that, but she wasn't gonna warm up to me easily" I thought to myself as I watched her and softly moved a piece of hair out of her face "and it's gonna be even harder with her friend instigating every move I do around her" I thought to myself. I was about to doze off when I heard a commotion outside of the door, not bothering to move since my henchman can take care of it. I close my eyes again when I hear Andromeda enter the house "how the hell did they find me.. god damn them all..", she says out loud to herself as she closes and locks the door. My.. my.. my.. isn't this a sight. I get up, careful not to disturb Anastasia and I close the door to my room and walk over to Andromeda. "Well, well, would you look at this" I said with a laugh, looking at the girl on the floor. The little dragon looks up at me for a while before abruptly standing up. "Keep Ana safe. I'm trusting you completely with her from here on out. I don't know what's going to happen, but I do know I want her to have no part in it. Although it pains me to leave her once again..." She then look away tears brimming her eyes. "They'll use her to torture me, to break me.. she doesn't deserve that.. hell when you broke me out... I should have known..!" This time she goes to walk off fighting back the tears with a low growl. Taken aback by her outburst I quickly regained composure "little dragon, nobody can get you here, my men and I can take someone down on a matter of seconds" She gives me a sad yet knowing smile. Then goes to shaking her head as she walks off to her room. "Your still not getting it... I want her safe and she will be safe here with you, while I lead them away... If I were to stay and you kill the man after me, it'll only get back to the agency I worked for and they'll eliminate everyone suspected in helping me. I'll in return hunt him and kill him.. not for only me or Ana, but for the agent, my partner.. he will NOT have an easy death, he deserves everything I have planned for him." She says as she packs for her leave. Zipping up the duffle bag and swinging it over her shoulder, she meets my gaze for what might be the last time. Would it really be? The little scared girl I saw only a few minutes ago was no longer anywhere to be seen in her. I stepped back, knowing I couldn't stop her "if you succeed with your mission, you are always welcomed her" I said as I watched her, trying to piece together what I was going to tell Anastasia. "I'll keep Anastasia safe, but how's she's gonna take this news I'm not so sure." My dear Anastasia's dragon of a friend the does something I never expected from her, someone who is so protective of the one thing she has in her life. The one thing that truly changed the tides and would haunt me, a haunting I wouldn't be quite sure how to cope with.

The little dragon walked up to me and patted my shoulder a couple times before resting her hand there with a gentle warm and soft smile. "She will not take it at all very well. She'll be lost and feel like she don't have anyone. I will need you to be there for her.. she won't admit it, but I know she'll be glad in the end that she did have someone. That she had you." With that said she walked away without another word as she let her hand fall behind her off my shoulder. For once I was to shocked to say anything, instead I stared after her as she went. Before she hit the door to leave I finally found my voice "I'll do my best dragon, try your best to find your way back and I'll try my best to be there for her" I said as I watched her "but she needs you keep that in mind okay" She froze halfway out the door as I said that last part. Though she didn't stay like that long as she continued her leave gently closing the door.

When she left I turned and slowly made my way back to my room. Quietly opening the door, and look towards the bed. Where I see Anastasia sitting up, wide awake. "Where's Rome" she said.
