Arthur Fleck/ Joker X Reader (Completed)

chapter 15

As I walked towards the queue I brushed my hand against my pocket at felt a lump. I kept every movement discrete and didn't go near my pocket until I got back into my room.

I sat down on my bed and made sure no one was watching me. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper.
I unfolded it and was greeted by messy hand writing that wrote:
Hey I'm going To get us out tonigHt. Don't go to sleep oR let anyonE seE you. I hAve written the tiMe I'm going to get you on this note. I love you.
- J x

I gaped at the note as I scanned it up and down. What did he mean by he wrote the time on the note. That's when I saw it. Some of the letters were in capitals. I made out the words THREE AM and knew what to do. I shoved the paper back in my pocket and waited.

It was almost midnight. Lights went out at 11 as I pretended to sleep. My mind ran like flowing water as I tried to work out how Arthur was going to get me out.
An hour past and I was still confused. Nothing unusual had happened so far. No noise. No movement. Nothing. I was beginning to get tired but I didn't dare close my eyes.

Another hour went by and still nothing. There was only an hour left and the more time went on the more nervous I got. What if he got caught? I shook my head and began doing sit ups. I needed to distract myself somehow and there was barely anything to do in here except think, and that was the last thing I wanted to do.

Time crept by slowly until there was 3 minutes left until 3am. As I layed on the bed, pretending to sleep I heard the door rattle slightly. Then a click.

The door opened steadily, barely making any noise. "Y/n, step outside please" The voice was muffled as the warden spoke underneath his collar. I walked towards him as he held my shoulder. I lifted my head to look at him beneath his hat. It was dark but I managed to make out the face of the warden.

There staring back at me was Arthur's face. He winked as I gave him a smirk.

His grip tightened around my shoulder as we faced my room. What was going to happen I wondered.
Arthur began counting down under his breath. I braced myself for what was to come. "5" His voice became giddy as I watched a smile form on his face. "4" I was nervous but excited. "3" I began hearing security race down the corridor towards us. "2" Inmates began waking up as they watched the sight from behind their door. "1" The guards were almost here. "Now" There was an enormous crash as bricks and material came plummeting inwards from the opposite wall.
There was an immense hole in the wall revealing the night sky.

Arthur grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the hole just as a guard grabbed my other arm. Both me and Arthur stumbled slightly trying to break me free from the guards grasp. "PICK ME UP" I yelled at Arthur. I felt his arms encase my waist as my feet left the ground. I kicked the guard right in the stomach as his grip loosened from my wrist. He bent forward as I kicked him in the face. He let go of my wrist to hold his face, giving me and Arthur time to run.

Everything happened so fast and before I knew it, I was sitting in the back of a car sheltered by Arthur who was leaning over me. Bullets hit every side of the car as we drove away from Arkham Asylum.
Finally the gun shots stopped and we knew we were free.

Arthur began laughing as he sat up and held my hand. "Told you I'd get us out tonight" He smirked before kissing my cheek. I looked behind us but I could see nothing. Just darkness.

I was happy to be rid of that place but I was unsure about it all. "What's wrong" Arthur could see through me as I sighed. "Don't get me wrong, I'm happy we escaped, I hated that place" I giggled. "But I can't help but feel slightly on edge. I mean, we're fugitives now. Fugitives on the run. What if they find us? We'll be locked away for good" I looked up at him, placing my head on his chest.
"Don't worry y/n, they won't find us. I'm taking us to a secure location and I have many followers helping me out. We're safe" He stroked my head as he rested his own against mine.

"How can you be so sure" I questioned.

Arthur squeezed my hand "trust me".
