Sorry about the long wait but here is the next chapter, hope you all enjoy it don't forget to R&R! thanks.
Kat was staring out the window in the living room watching the snowflakes float down against the frosted glass; she had her palms pressed up to the cold again with her forehead falling softly to the glass as well. The room had been silent for a couple of hours now, neither of them saying a word; Jonathan was sitting on the couch staring at the television that was turned to the news channel for the past 40 minutes.
During a commercial Jonathan had turned around to look at Kat, "Everything will be fine Kat, We'll take care of the Joker somehow" his voice didn't sound as sure as his words were made to sound.
Kat sighed "I'm not worried about me, I'm a no body. He doesn't even know my name and if I ever was found out I have nothing to lose. I am worried about you; if you are found out you have everything to lose, your job, your home, your life as you have it. You'll end up just like Joker, a fugitive and criminal, I mean we are criminal's but" her hands slid down the glass with a sigh "I don't know any more you're the boss applesauce I'm just your doll bound to do your bidding by my heart" she whispered as she hummed softly to herself.
Jonathan ran his hand through his hair, "Kat come here" he demanded in a soft voice.
Kat turned around from the window and flopped onto the cushion beside him, she laid her head on his shoulder when he wrapped his arm around her. They leaned back as he buried his face into her hair on top of her head; he took a few deep breaths that warmed her scalp slightly. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment of silence between them before she let the panic in her chest bubble over.
"Perhaps if we just humor him it will be alright for now, or we could just capture that annoying Harley. Maybe then we could make a deal, oh what am I saying Joker is more insane than even me, making a deal with him is impossible he doesn't understand or care about anything" Kat muttered
"Yes, he doesn't care about her enough to do anything he doesn't want to" Jonathan answered as he brushed his other hand down the side of her face and shoulder. "I'm surprised he's stuck with her for so long already, I always thought she was just his escape plan"
"She helped him escape Arkham? How?" Kat asked
"She was a psych intern at Arkham who interviewed Joker once and then became obsessed with him. In some ways it does make her more dangerous than him since she would and will do anything for him."
Kat laughed softly "Sounds like someone I know, the butterflies are laughing at me right now"
Jonathan kissed the top of her head with a small laugh "No Kat, you think for yourself and are much cleverer than her and I will never let you go because I love you which is something Joker could never do"
"I feel sorry for her slightly, to love someone so much you would do anything for them and not have that person love you back is just heart wrenching, I mean Joker doesn't even believe in monogamy then again he doesn't believe in anything in life" Kat had moved her head down slightly to listen to the steady beat of Jonathan's heart that she found hypnotically soothing.
"And do you believe in monogamy?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
Kat laughed and wrapped her arm around his waist as she cuddled deeper against him "Of course I do, you should obviously know by now that you are my one and only until the day I die and even than I will just come back and haunt you anyways"
"So you believe in marriage then?"
"I can't picture you getting married" Kat chuckled again "oh defiantly would be something like that, perhaps it's the idea of me being completely yours in every possible way that would appeal to you, you do have such a strong hunger for power"
"So you're saying you wouldn't because it would just be some kind of ego boost for me" Jonathan inquired with a no care of her statement.
Kat looked up at his face; he was staring at the television screen until he noticed her staring at him. His eyes met hers as she studied his expression, or lack of one and she frowned "Are you asking if I want to get married? Or is this like one of those hypothetical questions cause I feel like I'm on trial like always."
Jonathan looked back at the television with a shrug "You over analyze too much, it was just a simple question but just forget it. It's getting late and I'm going to sleep" he switched off the television and stood up.
Kat was pushed slightly to the side as he left towards the bedroom until Kat jumped over the couch to stand in front of his way, "I'm sorry, I wasn't overanalyzing I thought the answer would be pretty simple especially for you"
She often apologized now for anything she did that upset or even slightly irritated him but then again she apologized for everything even when he first met her. 'Her and her damn manners' he thought to himself as he nodded "its fine Kat, are you coming to bed?"
Jonathan walked around her towards the bedroom, "Yeah I'm tired and feel stressed right out perhaps tomorrow I will feel better" She responded as she followed him.
Kat had waked up when he got up and ready for work but she didn't get out of bed, she hated Monday's and often felt like sleeping the whole day away. When Jonathan left however the dead silence made her uncomfortable and she pushed herself out of the bed and into the living room, dragging the blanket behind her.
She flopped onto the couch and turned on the television to a cooking channel and passed back out after a while. She woke up a couple of hours later when there was a loud knock on the door causing Kat to fall onto the hardwood floor with a loud thump and a curse from her.
Kat jogged to the bedroom and threw on a pair of jeans and a sweater over her tank-top, when she got to the front door she looked through the peep hole but saw no one standing there.
She started to chew on her one finger until she turned around and walked back into the bedroom, she opened the nightstand and removed the bottom of the drawer. Pulling out the 9mm handgun that Jonathan always had stashed she checked to see if it was loaded and then cocked the gun switching off the safety.
Taking silent steps on the hardwood floor she tiptoed back to the front door, holding the gun slightly behind her. Taking another glance through the peep hole she saw the foyer was still empty, she took a slow deep breath and unlocked the door silently and then flung the door open as fast as she could, taking aim easily. She couldn't see anyone in the foyer still, it was silent and empty, her brain was racing with an explanation when she looked down and saw a small wrapped box. Bending down she picked up the object and held it to her ear, there was no ticking sound and it felt like it was less than a pound. Walking back inside she shut and locked the door and walked into the living room. She placed the box on the coffee table and sat on the couch in front of it; she picked at her shirt and stared at the small ugly brown box for some time but still couldn't bring herself to open it.
'We should call Jonathan, he would be so angry if he found out we opened it and got hurt' her mind stated.
'What could possibly hurt us that is that light?' Kat responded in her head.
'Anthrax'
With that one thought Kat bit her bottom lip and reached to her left to grab the phone, his cell was off which made her more nervous and scared, he never turned off his cell when she was left alone, so instead she dialed the asylum number and waited. After a few rings the receptionist answered the phone with a courteous greeting,
"Yes can I please be put through to Doctor Crane"
"Are you a patient?"
"No, uh, this is his assistant"
"Oh Miss Adams, I'll try his office but he has been very busy with a few meetings one moment please"
Kat smiled as she waited for the receptionist, her eyes didn't leave the box though the entire time, she was so nervous about last night still and she wouldn't put it past Joker to try something. She sighed after a few more seconds and frowned, would Joker really keep Jonathan's secret, she couldn't imagine he would care enough to keep it.
"Kat, are you alright? What is going on?"
She was startled at first at the sound and rush of Jonathan's voice, "Um, yes, should I not be alright? What's with the emergency questions?"
She heard a sigh through the phone "Nothing Kat I'll explain when I get home now what is it you wanted?"
Kat wanted to push for more answers, when he answered the phone he sounded winded and as if the receptionist told him Kat was dying or something but she knew he would most likely just hang up on her so she pushed aside her questions.
It took her a moment to remember why she called, "Oh yeah, uh well, you see, well"
"What are you talking about Kat? Just spit it out" Jonathan asked in an exhausted voice.
"Well, there was a knock on the door this morning and so I checked the peep hole and there was no one, I mean I got dressed first before answering the door and by the time I got there to check the door there was no one there."
"Okay Kat I'm sure that was annoying but do you not see" he was getting angry, Kat could tell even over the phone. 'Damn it Kat, get to the point!' her mind screamed at her.
"There was a box left at the door and I'm starring at it now. I thought I should call you before I open it" She announced over his voice.
There was silence for a few seconds she couldn't even hear him breathing,
"Don't touch it and don't move I will be there immediately"
Before she could make a sound there was a click of being hung up on and then dead silence, Kat replaced the receiver and turned to look at the box.
Kat didn't move like he told her, she sat there on the couch staring at the gift, her heart was hammering against her rib cage as she listened for the door to open. It was in record time when it did, she had thought he flew there for a second.
Jonathan stood beside the couch starring at the box with a blank look on his face, "did you open it?" he asked straight forward.
Kat shook her head no and continued to play with her hands.
Jonathan sat down beside her as he leaned down and put his ear to the box; he stayed that way for a second and then turned to look at her. "Stay here and don't"
"Yeah, Yeah I know don't touch it" she fell back against the couch with a huff
Jonathan came back with a pair of gloves on and a face mask, he sat down and gently picked up the small box, he opened the top and then looked in. Kat watched his face but it did not change until he dropped the box and stood up abruptly, He ripped off his gloves and mask before he charged out the door "It's all yours, I'll be back after work" was all he said as he walked out the door.
Kat frowned in utter confusion and reached out to grab the box, she looked inside to see a beautiful diamond ring that had a bunch of little diamonds around it, there was blood soaked tissue around the ring as it was still on a severed finger. Kat stared at it for a moment and then burst out laughing, she saw a little white note sticking out of the tissue paper, she pulled it out to read; for my new lady, hope to see you soon since were now one big happy family. P.s don't tell Harley about the ring she might just cut off your finger for it. J.
Kat sighed and dropped the box back onto the table, 'No wonder he reacted that way, he must be really pissed I mean we did just have that whole marriage talk last night, how funny fate is to bring such little gifts of coincidence like this, should we call him or wait till he gets back home'
She sat there thinking about it for a few minutes; she really didn't want to wait for hours she had to make him feel better as soon as possible. It was a very bad thing to have him angry for too long, so coming to that conclusion she went into the bedroom and got undressed. She then put on a pair of tight black pants and a pair of her grey high-heel boots. She pulled on a dark blue tight cotton t-shirt and her black crop jacket, she pulled her hair up into a small ponytail, her bangs hung in her face since she got them cut yet again in a straight across fringe. Grabbing her set of keys that he got her finally, she left the penthouse and walked to the elevator. She hailed a cab and headed towards Arkham Asylum, she paid the driver giving him a nice tip that caused him to smile at her and say thanks.
Kat walked to the receptionist desk that had the familiar fat lady sitting behind it, giving an award winning smile Kat leaned against the desk. "Hello, I'm here to see Doctor Crane, my name is Kat Adams"
"Shouldn't you have a card already?" the women asked with a raised eyebrow, her long fake nails clicking away on the keyboard.
Kat thought for a second and responded with quick wits, "Well, yes he said you would have it ready by now but I have yet to see it, so I just thought you were still in the process of getting it ready. I thought it would be rude of me to ask without giving you some time, I'm sure we know how impatient Dr. Crane is but I have much more patience"
The women looked angry but she instead stood up and waddled over to another desk, when she came back she handed a card on a clip to her that said temporary pass and had a green thick stripe across the top. "It's not my job to get your card, and I was not informed by anyone but I will get it done for Doctor Crane just please inform him of the mistake on someone else's part and use this for today. It's a temporary pass that expires after 24hours. Just swipe it at the doors that are not marked certain staff only, such as head office employee's only and such as this pass will not work but you don't need to go to those areas anyways. Any questions?"
Kat clipped the card holder to her jacket's lapel and nodded "Nope, I got it and I will be sure to tell Dr. Crane just what a help you were today" she replied with a honey voice and smile.
The women nodded and sat back down to continue typing and clicking away on the computer, Kat nearly walked away but was stopped by her voice, "Don't forget to sign in Miss. Adams"
Kat grinded her teeth together to keep from snapping and turned around with the smile back on her face, "Of course" She filled out her name, time and date coming in and such, she then turned away and swiped her card at the first locked gate. She smiled at the security guard who stood watch on the other side and clicked her heels down the hallway towards Jonathan's office.
She knocked on the clouded glass of the door and waited for an answer, she hoped he was in as she couldn't hear anything on the other side of the door. Then the door opened and she saw Jonathan standing in front of her, a look of surprise fluttered across his face for a few seconds until he composed himself and moved to the side motioning her inside. Kat walked in and turned around to face him,
"What are you doing here?" He asked in a hard voice. Jonathan walked past her to his desk where he shut his laptop and pulled off his suit jacket.
"Well, you can't just stomp off when we obviously have to talk" Kat responded.
Kat saw he was yanking off his tie angrily but didn't turn to acknowledge her. "It's just Joker being Joker, you shouldn't take things so close to heart" She continued.
Jonathan rolled up his sleeves and turned to glare at her, "Watch what you speak of in public is that so hard to remember" He snapped.
Kat wanted to slap him right now, her hand itched to but she held herself together, he was right she shouldn't be speaking of Joker when not in a safe place. So instead she sighed and flopped on the couch under the window, putting her feet up on the arm. "Watch how you speak to me is that so hard to remember even when your pissy" She responded in a calm voice staring out the window.
Before she could turn back to him he was in front of her with his hand around her throat, his fingertips digging into her jaw snapping her to face him. "If you think I'm in a mood to play you are very fucking wrong today"
"I have no control over what other people do towards me, so taking your anger for someone else out on me isn't going to help either" She hissed in his face.
Jonathan's grip lessened on her jaw but he did not remove it completely, "perhaps your actually right so now answer my question why are you here?"
"I felt bad and wanted to see if you were alright, it's not very good to keep you angry, it's like TNT you have to put out the fire quick or if you let it go for too long then you have a huge explosion and then.." She was cut off by his mouth; a hungry demanding kiss seared her lips and caused her to moan as her tongue slid against his. Jonathan pulled away from her mouth after a quick minute making Kat want to whimper at the loss, he let go of her and stood up.
"Well speaking of such, I received an interesting call this morning at work lets go for lunch and I'll tell you all about it" He pulled on his coat and walked out of his office, waiting for Kat to follow.
Kat stood at the front entrance of the club; it wasn't a loud dance club, rather more of a strip club. There was music playing from the front stage as two women hump and twirled around poles, half naked women walked around with trays of drinks or cigars. There were tables full of men she recognized from her studies of Gotham's corrupt and criminal people, this must be that mob club she heard of. She always wondered why so many knew about this place yet cops never came in, that was until she found out that the Gotham Police force was nothing but dirty cops and the few true blue ones were quickly put in their place.
Jonathan had filled her in at lunch, Joker had phoned his cell and informed him of his need for help, Jonathan wanted to tell him to fuck off but he had to play nice for now until he could get the upper hand again. So putting his irritation behind him, he informed Kat that they were going to help Joker with a confrontation at the Misty Pretties Club. Now it was late at night and Kat along with Jonathan stood in the club wearing their masks, Joker saw them walk in and opened his arms with a wide grin.
"Ah, my good friends, so happy that you came" He cried.
Harley was standing behind him with a wave and smile, Kat grinned back "Thank you for the diamond ring Joker, I enjoyed a good bum fight over it when I tossed it into an alley"
Joker frowned and put his hand over his heart, "Ouchy, Baby Doll how cruel of you"
"What Diamond ring! Where was my Diamond Ring pudding?" Harley cried.
"Not now Harley" Joker snapped and turned around. "Anyhow, we have business to take care of"
"Yes let's get this done, I don't have all night" Jonathan growled under his mask.
They followed Joker through the crowd to a private table against the corner wall, "Henry what a nice surprise seeing you out of a jail and still well fed I see" Joker laughed as he sat down in the only empty chair at the table.
The man who was named Henry looked up at Joker and his face gave away his fear before he could put on a fake grin and finish his mouth full of spaghetti. "Joker, well it's good to see you out of Arkham, I heard you were doing some work in Gotham"
"Just getting my city back to its former chaotic glory and taking out the trash that has been quite a bother to me"
Kat wasn't paying much attention to the banter between Joker and whoever this man was, instead she was glancing around the room, taking in every face she saw for future reference. Jonathan nudged her slightly causing her to look up to his face, his eyes glared at her as he motioned to the man beside him. It was one of Henry's men who were sitting beside Joker; his hand was slowly moving towards his holstered gun. Kat looked at Joker's face which never left Henry's and could no doubt not see the man beside him trying to be sneaky.
"Well Joker, I did my best, I'm not going to fight you for the area, I would be delighted to just give it to you it's just, well the men don't want you as their leader and with Black Mask getting more and more control of the city I would suggest you go speak to him about your.. Well situation, pretty soon even I will have to answer to him. This city has changed now; Batman has been in hiding more often now that the city is turning on him allowing Black Mask to gain even more stature"
Joker didn't seem to be listening at all; he was fiddling with the dinner knife. Kat could feel that something was about to go down but she wasn't prepared for the sudden ringing in her ears. It gradually got louder and then whispers that started to turn into loud screams and cries. Kat closed her eyes and put her hands over her ears but it didn't help. Chirping started to chime in with the cries, and her body started to shake slightly, "oohhh shut up! Shut up!" she yelled causing the table of men to glance at her.
In a flash Joker had his gun out and shot the man beside him right in the face, Harley followed shooting the other two men dead. Henry held his hands up while almost choking on his food, "There's no need for this Joker, I'm on your side, and you want the area? I said it's yours so just take it man! I was just letting you know about Black Mask, I'm just looking out for you" Henry sputtered continuously.
Jonathan had his hands on Kat's arms trying to calm her down but she couldn't hear his voice, couldn't focus on anything but the loud cries and chirping and then silence, dead silence. 'Kitty, kitty run kitty, chirp chirp, rruunn'
"We need to leave now" Kat stated as she gripped his arms, people had started to flee the club since the gun shots went off. Joker and Harley took off somewhere else while Jonathan held Kat tightly and was pushing his way to the back door. Kat was still whimpering while covering her ears, she felt her head was about to explode. Once they were outside everything stopped, she felt normal again and took a shaky breath in of cold air. "Stay right here I'll go get the car alright?" He asked as he stood her against the dark alley wall. Once he got the okay signal from her he took off to her left, Kat took a few more breaths and stood up on her own two feet. Just then she heard the sound of punches and a few grunts, when she turned around she saw Batman standing there with Jonathan sprawled on the ground at his feet, his mask was still on and Kat had to keep Batman busy and away from him.
"Well looks like it's just us now huh" Kat replied softly as she turned to face him. She slipped out her blades and took her stance.
"I don't want to hurt you..."
"Yeah, yeah want to help blah blah" with that Kat came at him, She moved quickly to the left as she brought her blade up to his ribs, he blocked her one attack and then gripped her wrist twisting and causing her to drop her knife. Kat swept her leg under him, knocking him off balance for a second giving Kat a quick opening to bring her elbow down against the back of his neck knocking him down to the ground. With a snap of her heel against his face, Batman went down for a second, Kat didn't care about him anymore, and she ran to Jonathan's side and shook him violently. He groaned and started to get up, "Go get the car now, hurry" she responded pushing him up faster.
Kat spun around when she heard a noise, batman was up and coming towards Jonathan, Kat moved in between them and took a shot at his face, she heard Jonathan's footsteps behind her and she focused on the fight before her. Batman was too meek to actually hurt her and that was a flaw that gave her the upper hand but she didn't see him grab a taser until she felt the electricity shoot through her limbs and make her fingers tingle. Kat went to the ground with a yelp and took a few breaths,
"Ohh you little cheat" she cursed as she stumbled back up; he stood there waiting for her. She tossed a metal garbage can at him; he blocked it with his arms easy and blocked her round house kick. Kat watched his one hand that held the taser and managed to block his attack and went to taser himself with his own gadget but he yanked her body sideways causing her body to slam forward and her head hit the brick wall with a thud knocking her unconscious.
Batman rushed over to her to check her vitals, her head was cut slightly and a small amount of blood dripped down her face. He cuffed her swiftly and picked her up carrying her to his military bat vehicle; he put her in the passenger seat and took off towards Gotham Police Station.
Jonathan had driven to the end of the alley and jumped out of the car, he ran down to where he left Kat but it was silent and Kat was nowhere to be seen.
"Baby doll!" he yelled as he ran down the alley way, he saw something glint in the corner of his eye and looked down to see one of Kat's blades. He bent down and picked it up, cold dread slipped up his back and spread through every inch of him. Gripping the knife in his hand he took off back towards the car with pure anger seething from his very core as he thought of all the ways he was going to make batman suffer.
Gordon walked into the small room behind the one way mirror and looked at the men in the room.
"This is Dr. Williams, our criminal profiler"
"Good evening gentlemen, has she said anything since arriving?"
Gordon shook his head as he sipped from a Styrofoam cup, "We haven't been able to get a word from her, we got her mask off and ran her prints, we found a file from a mental hospital in London, England her name is Katalina Lily Adams She's turning 24 in a few months. Her family was murdered when she was 12 and she was committed after that. Here read all you want, there's quite a bit there" One of Gordon's men said handing the Doctor the file.
Kat sat there in the brightly lit room; her hands were cuffed in front of her to the metal table, which was bolted to the floor. Her feet were free but there wasn't enough slack in restraints for her to stand fully. A couple of cops had come in to speak to her, they knew who she was now and it angered her.
'When we get our hands on that rabies infected fucked bat we're going to rip his insides out and '
Her thought was cut off by the door opening again, a tall thin woman come in, she was wearing a turtle neck sweater along with a nice billowy skirt. Her hair was in a tight bun and she had a file in her hands. She looked over Kat as she took the seat across from the table,
"Hello Kat my name is Dr. Williams"
Kat stared into her eyes without blinking and then went back to staring at her hands, "Kat you can speak can't you? You haven't said a word since you've been here and we're worried about you. We could get a doctor to come look at you"
"I thought you were a doctor"
Dr. Williams cleared her throat and smiled at her success, "Yes, but not a medical doctor, I'm here to find out about you, to help you in this situation you are in"
"Unless you say you're here to get me out well then I'll listen but I highly doubt that so how about you get the fuck away from me and I won't rip your ugly eyes from your pathetic head"
The doctor sputtered in shock as she sat up straight, the smile was gone and fear now covered her face. It made Kat smile softly, 'oh Jonathan would just love to see this' the thought of Jonathan reminded her that she may never see him again and it caused sorrow to fill her completely.
"Kat, do you think you're crazy?"
The question annoyed her to no end; the memory of the institute swarmed her head causing a pulsing pain in her temple. She glared at the doctor in silence, her large eyes never moving or blinking causing the doctor to squirm slightly. Finally after a minute the doctor started to close her notes staring at her work rather than look back up at Kat.
"I'm going to kill you Doctor, and I'll even do your work for you and tell you why, because I want to. And what I want I always get, just wait. My scarecrow will find me and make every one of you pay" Her eyes went to the mirror "and I'll find every one of you don't think I won't" Kat smiled and leaned back in her chair. "Run along now Doctor enjoy your time that you have left"
The doctor scrambled out of the room faster than Kat thought she could and then laughed when two big burly police men came through the door with Commissioner Gordon.
"Kat we're going to take you to the holding tank until we can get you set up at Arkham"
Kat burst out into laughter until her sides ached and tears slipped down her face, when she finally calmed down she smiled. "Oh you are so sweet Commissioner, such a good man, it's too bad you live in a world that you will never make it in but I give you credit for your courage, it's no doubt going to get you and your family brutally murdered but hey, it happens to the best of us"
The one burley man un-cuffed her from the table but her hands were still cuffed together, She pushed herself away from the man's grip with a kick to his groin. "Don't touch me I can walk myself fuck-head"
Gordon gripped the other man from charging at her with a baton, "It's alright, no one else needs to get hurt, Kat if you would please walk this way no one will touch you"
She glared at him with suspicious eyes, 'what is this fool playing at' she thought to herself but did as was told since she didn't want to mess up this situation any more than it was.
Kat was locked by herself in a small holding cage, there was another cage attached to the one she was in, it contained about 8 men who a few looked like they were homeless. Kat laid down on the wooden bench, 'just got to hang in there, we'll be in Arkham In no time and my scarecrow will get me back home'
Jonathan had spent all day coming up with a plan, since she would be declared criminally insane he could get her transferred to Arkham easily just like all the others. So that was what he was busy with all day, meeting with the prosecutors and lawyers, finally when it seemed like he got his way things turned for the worst.
"We can't legally keep her here as she is an England Citizen, so putting her in Arkham is simply not an option. She will be sent back home to London where they can place her in a suitable institute or do whatever they please as she is their problem now not ours"
Jonathan wanted to strangle the man who just made his job a lot harder, if they think they can just ship away his Kat they were seriously mistaken. The judge agreed and it was settled, Kat was to be escorted back to London once all the paper work was finished. That left Jonathan only 36 hours to plan her escape; he left immediately and told his driver where to go.
Jonathan was seething but it was what he needed, "She was taken at your stupidity! You black mailed us into following your pathetic idea's I swear if you do not help me I will take you down myself" he seethed. White hot rage blinded him completely at the idea of losing Kat when he just found her was not happening.
Joker shook his hands, "Calm down doctor, I wasn't blackmailing you I was trying to get you into the fun! You're too serious, poor Kat was suffering of boredom I imagine. Now about this messy business, well I'm quite busy with this whole city dominance thing but I have taken a liking to your precious doll. I'd hate to see her suffer stuck with a bunch of soul sucking doctors. No offense" he said with a grin.
Jonathan pulled out the gun from behind his back, he aimed it at Joker's face, "I am through with your games"
Joker didn't even flinch at the gun he just grinned even wider "Come now Crane, there's no need for such violence save it for later because I'm going to help you, just get a sense of humor already!" Joker stood up and walked over to Harley who handed him a drink with a laugh. "What's the plan?" He asked while putting his arm around Harley's shoulders.
Kat sat in the back of the prisoner transfer van that was empty, her stomach growled at her loudly, she hadn't eaten much of the food they gave her for the past 2 days all she could think of was going to Arkham and seeing Jonathan again. Nights had been terrible sleeping alone and she couldn't imagine living another day without him. Her thoughts were interrupted when she overheard an officer speaking to the driver.
"So don't stop until you reach the airport, no matter what, the roads are clear from"
"Wait! What do you mean airport?" Kat yelled
"Shut up back there!" the driver yelled.
She saw commissioner Gordon walk down the front steps to speak with another officer, "Hey! What does this idiot mean by airport?" she motioned to the driver.
He walked over to her, "You're going home back to London Kat, where you can get the help you need."
The foreign feeling of panic spread through her instantly, "No, No I was supposed to be going to Arkham, I can't go back there, you can't do this!"
He shook his head as the van started up, "We can't keep you here Kat, you have to be prosecuted back in your homeland but don't worry, you'll be safe and you will get the help you need"
Kat actually started to cry, her head shaken "No, NO"
The door was shut and the van started to drive away, her mind was racing, 'no I can't go back there, no Jonathan, oh birdies please no' and her mind continued that path for 20 minutes.
She was crying her eyes out for so long they were puffy now and she had nothing left to leak, Kat was about to lose her mind, everything was going so well she didn't bother trying anything and now she was royally screwed. That damn Gordon played her like a fiddle got her to act nice while planning to send her to hell all along. A feeling she hadn't felt since that night her family was murdered filled every inch of her, and that feeling was of hopelessness. Complete and utter hopelessness of her situation and it made her sob out loud again.
"Will you ever shut up with the crying!" the police officer in the passenger seat shouted.
Kat was about to respond when the van slowed down, "What is this about?" the driver asked.
Kat couldn't see what they were talking about, so she just continued to cry and think about biting a gap in her wrist before she ever went back when she heard the van door open.
"Hey we were told not to stop for any reason"
"It looks like a serious accident, someone could be hurt I'll just be a moment, stay with the prisoner" The driver got out of the van.
IT was silent except for the sound of Kat crying, and then a shout from the passenger who jumped out of the van next. Kat sniffled and stood up to go peek through the gate to see out the front windshield. She couldn't see anything in the dark, but then the familiar shadow came into view and batman was there, anger surged through her and she kicked at the back van door as hard as she could.
"I swear if I get out of this van I'm going to break every bone in your fucking body you bat piece of shit!" she screamed in fury as tears still streamed down her face.
Then there was loud gun shots, and the sound of a gas bomb, going back to the gate she couldn't see anything in the thick orange like fog. There were sounds of grunts and shouts but Kat was still confused as to what was going on.
When she heard the sound of the van handle being turned, she glanced back as the door swung open. A man she didn't recognize stood there, with a shotgun in hand, "Let's go Joker has the batman occupied" the man yelled as he rushed her out.
Kat ran to the door and jumped down easily, she could see a lot of men surrounding batman along with the joker, the man ushered her into the back of a car. "Stay here"
He then took off towards the fight and let out a long double whistle, Joker took off to the left as batman took down two men, another man came running to the car and jumped into the driver seat. The car took off down the street and away from the fight.
Kat looked at where they were driving but she didn't recognize the area, "Who are you? Where are we going?" she asked the dark skinned man driving.
The man didn't respond at all just kept driving like a mad man, sweat dripped down his face as he kept glancing in the rear-view mirror. They stopped after 30 minutes of driving and when Kat stepped out of the car she saw they were at the outskirts of the city where not even the homeless or drug dealers came. The man nervously kept glancing around as he walked towards an empty field that was surrounded by trees. Kat followed him quietly, until he stopped when a gun clicked across the field,
"Hault who goes there!" Joker's voice crackled in the quite night.
"It's us boss" the man replied as Joker came into the field from the trees,
"Oh how nice to see you Kat! Mission successful I see" He grinned widely and went to hug her.
Kat glared at him and stepped back, "Don't touch me"
"Right, you have this little rule of no touching and I thought you were more fun than Crane"
The mention of his name caused Kat's heart to flutter, she was free, and she could go find him now. "I need to get these off and go back to the penthouse"
"Well that's not possible anymore Sugarplum"
Kat turned to Joker with a question on her mouth but it died when another car pulled up and the door opened. Turning around she saw Jonathan getting out of the car, his white shirt had blood splattered on it but besides that he looked fine. Kat let out a cry and ran to him; her arms went around his neck immediately as her mouth pressed against his.
"I thought I lost you! They were going to ship me back to London, they told me nothing but lies, they said they were taking me to Arkham. And I wasn't, I, oh I just"
He kissed her again and again as his hands slid down every inch of her skin he could reach, "No one will ever take you from me again" He growled as he pulled her arms up from around him. His hands checked every inch of her over and wiped away tears that slid down her cheeks. Afterward Jonathan pulled out a pair of keys he grabbed from the driver of the police van; he undid her restraints and tossed them to the ground. "Oh Jonathan they know my name, it's only a matter of time before they find out I was your secretary, you have to find some way to"
He held up his hand and shook his head, "Kat it's already too late, batman saw my face, my mask was removed during the fight and he knows and by now I'm sure the whole police department knows as well"
Kat shook her head, "Oh Jonathan I'm so sorry, you should've just let me go it can't be worth the mess were in now"
Jonathan grinned, a rare occasion for sure, "No, it's just starting, a whole new life that we are going to bring this city to its knees."
"Yes, I'm soo excited; we're finally going to be one big family! We can set you up in our happening place can't we Harley?" Joker stated with a laugh.
Jonathan glared at him and put his arms around Kat's shoulders, "I think that's too quick of a step right now. We'll meet you tomorrow night."
He moved her towards the blue car, while Joker waved "Farewell till then buddies!" Jonathan didn't let Joker bother him because he had Kat back and they will have to work together if it meant taking down the bat. It was the only thing that mattered now to him, kill the bat and give Kat the perfect life with all the power he could handle.
So sorry for the big lapse in updates. I kind of lost motivation for this story as I thought it might not be going where I wanted it to, but there was the next chapter. Hope you all liked it and please remember to review. Take a second and give some feedback it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all the readers and I will update sooner this time. I promise.
