Heyo loves. SO before we dive in, I wanted to clarify something because I got a comment that someone was a bit confused about the timeline (which is totally okay, because honestly I'm confusing myself with the timeline too.)

This takes place in a very AU (obviously it's AU, don't come for me when it comes to canonicity :,) ) future Joker timeline. Obviously we don't know what happens in the future of this particular universe or what plotline it relates to that has already been created or maybe even hasn't been created yet. It's hard to give an exact year, but it's definitely in 2010's if I have manipulated the timeline correctly. That being said, that would make Joaquin's rendition of the Joker a lot older and aged, but the way I kinda see things in the retrospect in my head, he still looks the same as he did in Joker. It's frustrating to me because that's really unrealistic in the sense of time that has passed, but I wanna stay as true to the Joker plotline as much as possible while also manipulating it to fit the story I'm trying to tell. I don't know if any of that makes any sense but I tried. If any you have any other questions that might make things clearer, I highly encourage you to ask because it is never my intention to confuse my readers!

"So that's why you were being so weird when you saw him in the back office?" Naomi hugged one of Emma's throw pillows to her chest with a worried look.

"Yes, and I don't want to assume the worst about him because maybe he is a really nice guy who's just a little awkward and I'm just being judgy, but I really don't know Naomi," Emma ranted to her roommate.

Naomi reached out and put a hand on the brunette's shoulder, "Did you tell your dad? Maybe he can use his techy stuff to look up his name and see if he has a history or something."

"No," Emma quickly cut the blonde off, "I can't tell my dad, because he'll freak out and go all protective parent on me. I can handle it myself because I'm an adult."

Naomi gave Emma a look that was unsure, "Promise me that if it gets any more weirder you'll go to your dad. I care about what happens to you and I don't want something bad to happen at all."

Emma looked at Naomi's face. She was a person that worried a lot about the little things. Last time Emma checked, she was pretty sure Naomi was on at least three different medications for her anxiety. The last thing she wanted was for Naomi to be consumed with worry for her friend.

"If it makes you feel better, yes, I'll tell my dad if it gets worse," Emma assured her.

"Good," Naomi smiled, "I mean, even if he is following you and he shows up at Delta Sig party tonight, we'll have Nate and Cristian to kick his ass."

Emma cracked an amused smile, "You're right, I'm not gonna let it get to me too much. I just want to have a good time and forget about all of this happening."

"If you take as many shots as you did at that neon party at Kappa Kappa Tau, trust me, you will," Naomi joked as she got off the bed, discarding the pillow she held onto the side.

"I didn't have that much," Emma looked annoyedly at Naomi.

"Nate carried you out of the party and you crashed on his couch because you blacked out, you had that much."

A rustling sound immediately came from outside their room, making both of the girls look towards the door. It was something they'd never heard before come from outside the door.

Emma got up from the bed and neared the door. She immediately opened it and stuck her head out of the door to see if someone was walking down their hall.
