Hi guys, I've been writing for Jared Leto's Joker since The Suicide Squad came out (Joker x Reader fanfi...
Rumor is the outbreak spreading like fire around the world is somehow Dr. Morbius' fault: people turned into monsters after getting bitten by the ones already ravaged beyond the irreversible mutation. The last news broadcasted four months ago suggested not all creatures are mindless beasts, a few might still remember who they are and The Joker is about to find out if the story is true.

"Dad..." you whisper and point at the box on the shelves. "I found some peas."
The Joker turns around and silently walks your way, signaling you to fill up your backpack while he patiently waits for his turn.
The King of Gotham and his 23 year old daughter are scavenging the convenience store on Halsey Street for supplies: food was running low and they had to come out of the bunker in order to acquire basic necessities.
It's hard to see in the darkness with the tiniest flashlight since they can't risk being detected.
"Did you find water?" you mumble under your breath.
"No."
"Dammit, we only have six bottles left," you sigh, upset at his disclosure. "Should we raid the mall too?"
The Joker covers your mouth, carefully listening.
You can't discern much until an unnerving screech echoes in the air followed by others in the next second.
"Ssstttt," J removes the restrain and you clutch to his arm, scared to death.
"Dad...", you gulp at the commotion happening in the distance: the creatures are probably hunting and you are not willing to become the prey.
"What do we do?" you barely utter and The Clown shakes his head, worried.
"Let's use the sewers entrance by the dumpster to make it passed the dangerous radius; it's still open from last time we were here."
"Ok..." Y/N quietly agrees.
J adds the rest of the containers to his rucksack and lifts it up when he accidentally knocks off a light bulb: the fragile glass shatters to pieces and the two of you stare at each other terrified for a few moments.
The turmoil outside immediately intensifies as The Joker urges:
"Run!"
The panicked Y/N follows her father and she can't even hear what he's saying over the deafening roars that seem to come from above the building. Suddenly, the mad man turns and gives you a violent push against the loading dock exit; it's so unexpected you stumble and before you have the possibility to process what's going on, J locks it.
"Dad?!" your eyes pop at the small, broken window just to distinguish him backing away. "Dad?!" you start crying. "What are you doing?! Let me in!" The Princess pleads with her parent.
The Joker bites his lip, conflicted at his desire to survive no matter the cost: even if the price to pay is his own daughter.
"Daddy?!" Y/N sobs, petrified at his behavior. "Please?..."
