The Joker's Partner

Chapter 9

Luke:

Jace and I get to the Asylum later than we thought we were going to. Batman got here before us but he got there a little too late too. We found some of the Joker's men and captured them but a lot of inmates escaped. One of the doctors were missing too. Besides that ,there were luckily few casualties. Marisa and The Joker were again M.I.A. which kind of pisses me off. I can't believe her and I were ever friends. I call out to Jace, "Robin!" He looks up, "Let's go, we're done here."

He walks over to me still scanning the area, "I can't believe we got here late."

"Me neither but now Batmans got this so come on." We get back on our bikes and ride off. "Hey, you gotta end that relationship with her."

He stares at his phone for a moment. He starts reading a message out loud:

"Ello Jace. I think we're both thinking the same thing... or at least I'm thinking it. Since this whole awkward thing with getting thrown off buildings and what not started I think lol no, I know, it's best for us to end this. Catch me if ya Can Robin. Oh Also I'm guessing Nightwings there cause ya know Asylum breakouts and stuff. Tell him I said I'm coming for you. -xoxoxo Luna"

He doesn't look at me, "Well I guess that solves that..."

Now I'm really angry. She thinks she can just call me out like that!? After everything we've been through?? I don't even want to know how Jace feels. When she comes I'll be ready.

Marisa:

I take Crane back to my place cause fuck The Joker. When we get inside he looks around, "This is a big place you've got here."

I laugh a little. I know it's big because it's basically a masion but there's also so much more , "This is only the visible part. "

He gives me a look and I take his hand guiding him through the hallways. All of our men were brought to the Asylum so we don't have to worry about interruptions. When we get to a smaller room I walk over to a book shelf and reach up to the top and pull down the first book. The bookcase slides out of the way and we step into an elevator with the case closing behind us. Crane smirks, "Impressive. " We get downstairs and I show him around the lair. He looks a little interested but I can tell he's getting bored. I shove him up a wall and kiss him. He stares at me for a moment and then smirks again and says in a flirtatious tone, "I thought you didn't date scarecrows?"

I playfully roll my eyes, "There's a first for everything, Jonathan". He smiles mischievously and twists us around pushing me up against the wall so he's in control. Crane kisses me hard and I kiss back while running my fingers through his hair. He traces his fingers around were my waist meets my pants and whispers sexually with his forehead against mine, "I like your pants, can I have them?"

Just as he's about to reach for my belt we hear a gun cock and he steps away from me. Slowly we look to see who's standing there. I turn my head to see a pissed off Joker. He's pointing the gun at Crane, "Get out. I- I want you to get out."

Crane steps forward, "Oh come on Joker. Not my fault you didn't make the first move."

I watch The Joker hoping he doesn't actually shoot anyone. He glares at Crane, "I said get out."

Crane side glances at me and I run a hand through my hair, "Just-... just leave". He looks a little disappointed but does as I say.

When I turn back around Joker is now pointing the gun at me. Quickly but slyly I grab the gun that I tucked into my pants and point it at him. He stares at me with a sad look in his eye, "What happened to us?..."

I shake my head and laugh, "HA! Come on Mista J." I say mimicking Harley, "I think we both know what happened. "

"Maris. . she kissed me I didn't want to do anything with her."

I roll my eyes,"It didn't look like you were trying to push her off from my view. Plus ya don't give nicknames to people unless you're keepin them around. Is this why you asked me if I wanted to leave!? So you could find someone beter!??" I was on the verge of tears, but I wasn't gonna cry. Not infront of him.

He starts to lower his gun. You could see the pain in his eyes, "Marisa..."

"I'm done J", I say tiredly. I click the safety on, drop my gun, and go back upstairs without looking back at him.

I find Harley upstairs. She's just sitting on the couch twiddling her thumbs. Quietly I grab a board and hit her on the side of the head with enough force to knock her out. She falls off the couch and I laugh then drag her to a guest room on the main floor.

I walk back to the living room and turn the TV on. GCN is on, the head line saying 5 years and still not found.

"I'm Vicki Vale with GCN and today officers call off they're search to find Clary Grenard who at age 16 went missing. This is the 5th annual memorial for her and anyone else who's ever been taken bye the Joker without the Batman being there to save them..." She continues to speak but I stop listening. I drop to the ground on my knees and start to cry. Normally seeing stuff like that wouldn't bother me but today it hit right at home. I couldn't control myself, I slammed my fists on the floor multiple times until my knuckles started to bleed.

Joker ran up behind me and dropped down cradling me in his arms. He saw the TV and turned it off. He stroked the side of my face wiping away my tears. I would have pushed him away. I tried to push him away but I didn't have the energy and he refused to let go. When I finally looked at him I saw all his face paint and make up was gone. He picked me up and carried me in his arms to my room. He bandaged up my hands. I was still in my uniform. He took his shirt off and slowly took mine off for me. Gently he put his shirt on me which was obviously big. After that was on he slowly took my pants off and tucked me into bed. As he turned the light off and closed the door I thought he had left. I suck in a shallow breath when I feel him get into bed with me. J got close and wrapped his arm around my torso holding me up against him. He only had boxers and socks on. Just as I drifted to sleep he whispered in my ear, "I'm sorry baby. I won't hurt you again". I felt a light tingle on my cheek. I realized he kissed it which caused me to smile.
