Lost and Found [Joker]

Chapter 6: Secret

"This... Is amazing." I say, looking around at the walls that had a built in aquarium, with various fish and other sea life.

"Thank you, my dad had it installed. At first, I wasn't crazy about it, but now it grew on me." Alex said, as we walked in unison down the long hallway leading to the laboratory that was in his home.

I nodded, and we finally made it to door that allowed us in. The door was heavily armed, and had two guards standing on opposite sides of the door.

"Tight security..." I said, adding a light chuckle.

"Of course, nothing less." He said, pressing numbers on the keypad. He turned to face me.

"Here we go." Alex waved his hands towards me, as the door opened. Bright lights greeted us, and I had to squint my eyes slightly.

"Come on, you're not a vampire your eyes will adjust... Or are you?" He said, jokingly.

"I can be." I smirked, and he smiled.

"Great." Alex said, then leading me to a giant chamber. The substance inside was green, and it lit up half of the room. It was a shape of a crystal.

"Wow... It's beautiful." I said, eying the glowing green in front of me.

"But deadly." Alex turned to me. "That's exactly how I like my women." He smirked.

"Ha, if you can get one." I said, under my breath.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, just looking." I acted innocent as I walked around the crystal.

"Yeah sure."

"So how'd you even get this?" I asked.

"Ever heard of Enchantress?"

I nodded.

"Well there's your clue." He said. There was a little silence.

"You can't just keep it like this though."

"Of course I won't. I'll make a kryptonite staff. That's what we'll kill him with. The rest of it will most likely be for show."

"I'll need more materials... that won't be enough."

"Your suit is being made. I'm working on it. Everything else that you'll need will be built in it."

"Is it like your father's?"

"Yes for a base, but it's more intelligent." He nodded.

Suddenly, one of the guards came towards us. The guard told Alex something I couldn't quite hear. They walked away from me for a minute, and I saw them whispering.

Alex's POV

"Sir, we've located him." My guard informed me.

"The joker?"

"Yes sir." He nodded.

"Thank you."

"Will you inform her on his whereabouts sir?" The guard asked.

"Certainly I will. Once again, thank you for the update. Return to position." I said, as he walked away. I turned to face Y/N, and went towards her.

"How about we go upstairs from this place. I would like to talk to you." I said, giving a light smile.

"Um, sure." She said, following me as we left.

Time skip...

"--and that's how I ended up where I am now." Y/N just got finished telling her life story that I was completely interested in.

We sat in my living room, finishing up some pizza I ordered.

"Wow, I knew you've been through alot, but never that much." I said, amazed.

"Yeah, it was... Pretty hectic. My old life I mean. But I don't regret anything I've done." She looked at me. I stared into to pretty eyes, and looking at her seemed so relaxing.

"I wish I could say the same." I sighed.

"Why?"

"Because I always had some things that I wish I could've done, prevented, or even been there. Like my father's death. I could've been there, and I could've stopped it, but I wasn't around. The least I could do is carry on his legacy as a way of me saying 'sorry'."

"What happened to your father... How'd he die?" She asked.

"Long story... That's the past now. It's not worth telling. I want to stay in the moment..." I said, taking a breath.

"I understand..." Y/N nodded.

After that conversation, time passed and we continued to talk about other things that didn't involve life stories or painful memories.

We were having a wonderful time. I've learned more about her, and now I feel like I've known her for ages. The thing that really got me was that everytime she looked at me, or even said my name, I got this weird feeling.

I couldn't explain it, but all I knew was that there was something in me that had something for her, possibly a liking. But how could this be? I've only been with her for a little while.

"--like I was rolling on the floor it was so funny." We laughed, then she took another sip of the beer I brought for us a while back.

"Hey, um... I was just wondering and stuff." I put my beer down. "You wanna hang here? Since you know... You live alone, and stuff, and your house is kind of far away, and it's raining and all..."

I heard her say something but for some reason I kept talking.

"Like you don't have to stay, but I'm just saying--"

"I said yes, stop rambling." She spoke louder, as she gave a light giggle.

"Oh, ok." I smiled. Damn I feel like a dork. I rubbed the back of my neck. There was a bit of silence.

"Hey, didn't you say you have something important to me earlier?" She asked.

"Oh, um..." I contemplated on if I should tell her that we know where the joker is. I know if I tell her, she'll be all for joker. She already is, but not as much as she would be if she did find out.

I want to take time with her, and see if we can be Gotham's new rulers. That certainly can't happen if the news broke out. I can't have that happen, I need to keep it a secret. I like her, and I won't let anything ruin my advances.

"I think I forgot what I had to say. It must've not been important." I shrugged.

"Oh..." She gave a light smile.

What if she finds out I lied? Oh gosh...

Time skip...

Y/N's POV

I changed into some of Alex's pajamas in the guest bedroom. Then I heard a light knock at the door.

"It's open." I said, and Alex came in.

"Hey, I just wanted to say it was nice talking to you and stuff, I had a really good time." He smiled, as he leaned on the door frame.

"I did too." I smiled, walking over to him. There was silence, but it seemed like he was speaking volumes with his eyes.

He looked as though he was in trance. Alex's eyes seemed to be filled with lust, and I noticed he glanced down at my lips.

"Well, it's late so I'll be heading to bed now. Thank you for letting me stay." I said.

"No problem, mi casa es tu casa." He chuckled, as I let out a light laugh.

"Thanks again." I smiled. "Goodnight Alex."

"Goodnight." Alex said, backing away from the door frame. He walked away, and I closed the door. I went back to the bed, and laid down.

He's acting weird... something is going on...
