The Dark Lion

Meeting trouble

Not too far away a male cheetah watched the two hyenas sitting beside each other and nuzzled each other. His name was Abrafo or as most of animals called him. Deathstroke...

He got a task, that wasn't too easy. He had to finish of the Joker. He just stared at the pair for a long time, he had the chance to jump the hyena and kill him, but he didn't. He left them to be alone. Joker pulled away from Kichaa which goes under the name Harley Quinn for some. He could feel that someone had watched them for not so long ago. He looked up where Deathstroke was before, he got suspicious and continued to look up. Harley saw him looking up at the hill behind them. He looked worried, wait he looked worried? She decided to intervene from his thoughts.

"What is on your mind puddin?"

She asked him with a worried look. Joker looked away from the hill and back at Harley again. He began to smile as he looked at her.

"It's nothing, everything is fine."

He lied to her, but Harley knew him to good. She knew that he lied.

"The truth now sweetie."

He looked into her eyes and slightly chuckled.

"Fine, I just had the feeling that we were being watched."

He let out a sigh and looked back up again. Harley smirked and knew what she had to do, she held a paw under his chin and made him look at her.

"My head is up here."

She chuckled. She tried to make him think about other things, and that seemed to work because the Joker focused on her and only her. The Joker smiled, he loved Harley so much and didn't want to lose her, ever.

"Alright, what do you want?"

He said and gave in.

Harley smirked at this and pinned down the hyena.

"You, silly."

She gave an affectionate lick on his cheek. The Joker smirked and pulled her closer.

"Come here, you."

He chuckled under his breath and kissed her. Harley was surprised at first but kissed him back. They eventually let go and The Joker looked at her again with a little sad face. Harley saw this.

"What's wrong?"

She asked cautious.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go do something."

Harley nodded and got of off him. She gave him a look, a look that The Joker normally hated but now it always made him smile.

"What?" He chuckled.

"I'm not done with you just yet, remember that."

She licked his cheek again before she walked of, leaving The Joker all alone.

"Time to talk with The worlds most dangerious assassin."

He walked of towards Deathstrokes territory, he found him sitting on a rock with his back towards The Joker. The Joker aproached him slowly, as he got close enough Deathstroke lifted his head and a devious smile spread over his muzzle.

"I would stop there if I were you."

He said still with his back facing The Joker. The Joker stopped and listened to him.

"Good, and stay still now you don't want trouble do ya?"

The Joker stood still not moving at all. Deathstroke smiled at this and turned around. He lept down from the rock and landed in front of The Joker.

"Ah, you must be the so called Joker. I have heard a lot about you."

He smiled evilly as he began to circle the hyena. The Joker began to speak as the cheetah circled him.

"And I have heard a lot about you 'Deathstroke'."

The cheetah began to laugh.

"Well you should have, they don't call me the worlds most dangerious assassin for nothing."

He chuckled. Deathstroke stopped circling him and his smile turned into a more serious look.

"There must be a reason you are here, explain."

The Joker took a deep breath before he answered.

"I need help with someone."

"Let me guess, the Dark Lion?"

The Joker got a little suprised at this. How would he know?

"Yes. And because you are being called the most dangerious assassin, I have a job for you."

He looked at the cheetah with a evil smile on his muzzle.

"A job? Hmmm explain."

"It's simple, I want you to take down the Dark Lion and bring him to me."

"But with such a job I hope you can pay up."

"Oh, I can pay you. I can give you something you can't say no to. What about the guys who just left you to die for those hyenas?"

Deathstroke could feel the anger inside of him just as he thought back to that day. He digged the ground with his claws and answered.

"Deal. But before I do that, what is wrong with Sumu Mwefu?"

"Lets just say she can be quite unpredictable."

"I see. I just don't get it."

He starts circling him again.

"Get what?"

"Why would you hire an assassin to help you when you are on his killing list?"

The Joker knew what he talked about and got a little shocked.

"Because... because I need all the help I can get."

"Aha." He stops circling him again.

"I can sense that you are afraid of death, perhaps she isn't?"

"You don't dare hurt her!"

He growled furiously. Deathstroke laughed and continued to mock him.

"It would be a shame if something happend to her right? But don't worry I won't kill her or you. If you can find those guys who abandoned me then that will be enough. If you can't? Then you will be dead before you can say HAHAHAHA!"

He walked up to The Joker muzzle distance away.

"Guess I'll see you around."

He walks of and doesn't look back at him at all. The Joker walks of towards where Harley is waiting for him.
