His Apprentice

Chapter 7

Jonathan's POV

"Hey Jon," Edward said, snapping me out of my daze, "Are you alright?"

"Um, yeah...Just tired, I spent most my time in the lab last night." I responded, I didn't wanna tell him the truth. I wasn't alright.....Ever since I made Angel leave, I hadn't felt right. I constantly thought of her...Where was she? Was she okay? Who was she with? I feared Jokker would get out of Arkham and take her back, but so far he and Harley hadn't been able to escape.

An unsure look passed on Edward's face and he bit his bottom lip, "No-No...You're not okay. You miss her? Don't you?"

I took a small breathe and shook my head, "No, I don't miss her." I lied and Ed gave me a weak smile, reaching over and putting his hand on top of mine.

"Jon, I know how it goes. They start out as apprentices but as you get to know them, you fall. They are the light to this dark world....You constantly wanna chase them, because you love them and they help you hang on to that small piece of sanity you have left." Edward said, looking at me. I could feel his eyes burning a hole through me as if he was trying to search my soul.

"Even if I did like her, I wouldn't have a shot now." I choked out, "I kicked her out and now I don't even know about her well being or where she is"

Before I could continue a small smirk rose on Edward's features, "But I do."

Angel's POV

I was settling in my room when I heard Selina open the front door and speak with someone, I peeked out. She stood there, talking to the Riddler. Edward seemed in a nervous mood for some reason, did something happen to Violet? I felt an uneasy feeling, maybe joker took her back and Ed was looking for help.

I made my way out of the room and to the front door, Selina and Ed both looked at me as I approached.

"Well hello, Miss Vice." Ed greeted, giving a warm smile. I had never actually talked to the genius villain but he seemed nice. I gave him a smile and wave, standing by Selina's side.

Selina looked to Ed, "Okay Nygma, what do you need?"

Ed shrugged and walked into the house and out of the halls, "Nothing...Just making a casual visit, How are you Angel? Doing well I hope."

Selina gave me a weird look and I shrugged to her. I took a small breathe and answered Edward "I am doing well." A question came to my mind, should I ask how Jonathan is? No, No.

"That's good...and you?" He asked with a sly smirk to Selina.

"I'm good as well...."  Selina huffed as she watched him walk around us. Edward was tall and would be intimidating if he were mad.

"Good, Good." The Man hummed as he changed his direction towards Jim's couch and sat down.

Selina studied him carefully as she made her way to the couch and settled herself beside him, "Are you sure you are not here for a reason? Maybe a job you need help with?" She inquired

I sat down on the couch in front of them as Ed shook his head, "I need no help...As I said, I'm here on a casual visit..I happened to see you break into ole Jimmy's place and decided to come over."

Maybe Violet had sent Ed to check on me? She was my best-friend after all and we had been through so much together.

"How's Violet?" I questioned, interrupting a whispered conversation between Edward and Selina.

"She's fine...Real fine actually, we are expecting our first child!" Edward said then smirked "we aren't really expecting a child but she is doing okay...she misses you. I know someone else who misses you as well."

Who did he mean? Shayna, maybe? It had to be Shayna.

"Oh, Shayna?" I said with a soft smile "I miss them both, you and Two Face should bring them over to see me sometime!"

Ed let out an amused laugh and tapped his fingers on the wooden part of Jim's couch, "I'm sure Shayna does miss you...But she is not who I was referring to. I was referring to Jonathan."
