Okay I am terribly sorry about the long gap in updates, got caught up in life again :P how sucky it is ha-ha. Anywho hope you all are ready for some more fun starring our two sexy villains! Please remember to review since it makes me so very happy :D
Also I realized I made a mistake last chapter, Kat is still only 21 and turning 22 in a few months not 24, lol but I didn’t want to re-do the whole chapter thing on this site so please just forgive that little mistake. :P okay on with the show!
Kat stared at the tiny twinkle of lights that filled the night with a pale glow; the stone that she was sprawled across was still bitterly cold despite her laying on it for the past ten minutes. She had changed out of her old dirty disguise into a pair of jeans and tight grey tank-top, she pulled her boots back on and tied up what hair she could out off of her neck. The night was not as cold at the moment but the air was still crisp from the snow covered ground. Luckily Jonathan had her black crop jacket she had taken off before escorting Joker to the club and getting caught by the batman.
Now her and Jonathan were waiting for Jonathan’s men at the forest, they had stayed at the hideout last night but they knew they couldn’t stay there for much longer, they would have to move constantly, something that made Kat upset; she could never go back to the cozy penthouse where all her favorite things were. Frowning at herself she started to sit up with a scowl on her face, ‘We are free and with Jonathan that is all that matters’.
She turned to look at Jonathan who stood against a tree beside her, “What time is it?”
With a glance at his wrist he responded, “They’re late, its 11.42. When they get here I’m going to kill them for making me wait in this freezing winter weather”
Kat let out a sigh and swung her legs around to stand on her feet; she stretched out her arms above her head and then walked over to him. “Well maybe you should hear them out first, I mean we don’t want our meat-heads running off now that you’ve lost quite a bit of your control” Seeing his jaw clench tightly Kat knew she should defiantly change the subject for now “Are you cold?” she asked. He was only wearing a suit but no outwear jacket and she knew how much he hated being cold since he always bundled up when at the asylum but he shook his head no and after a minute of silence he took a deep breath “How are you?” he inquired.
With a shrug she smiled at him, “I’m chilly but not cold, I can stay out here all night if need be”
Jonathan was watching her make circles in the snow with her foot, “I didn’t mean temperature wise, what were you thinking about so intently?”
She shrugged again and turned around to make a wide arch, “Christmas is this Friday, and I was looking forward to it for the first time in a long time but now. I don’t know it just seems pointless at the moment. We can’t have a tree, or decorations or even presents, stupid fat batman. That’s what I really want now I want him to suffer and have crows peck out his eyes and then..!”
Jonathan watched with a small smile as she paced and kicked the snow as her rant became more heated and caused her to grow angrier with each passing word she spat. She only stopped because a car pulled up a few feet from them catching her attention, letting out a puff of air Kat walked over to stand beside Jonathan.
Two men came jogging up to them, “Boss sorry we couldn’t get a car low-key for a while but we did it n’ no sign of the bat but we heard that he’s up town going after the Joker”
Kat laughed, “Yeah who is going after Black Mask who is coming after you next” she motioned to Jonathan, “isn’t life so fickle?”
“This is why I’m putting up with Joker. For now. Once Batman and Black mask are out of the picture then let the best man win” He walked up to his one man and dealt him a hard blow to the gut causing him to cough and fall over, “That’s for taking too long, now get your boys together and meet us down by the east river” Jonathan finished his demand as he grabbed the keys from his now coughing goon.
Kat shook her head with a chuckle; she brushed her hands through the goon’s hair, or lack thereof, and scuffed it up like he was a child. “There, there at least it was just a fist in the gut and not a knife” She followed Jonathan to the car and got in the passenger side.
They drove in silence for a while until Kat sighed, “So do we have a plan?”
“No, Kat we do not, we are taking each moment at a time, and we need to find out what they know first of all, see where I stand with my connections”
“I told you everything that had happened and what they said, I have no clue what is going on.”
Jonathan was concentrating on driving one moment and then the next he had slammed on the breaks pulling the car to the side. Kat turned to open her mouth and ask what was going on when Jonathan had his one hand around her throat, squeezing hard enough to cut off her air. He pulled the handle at her side with his other hand causing her to fall backwards with the seat; his body was on top of hers in a flash.
“You have ruined everything!” He seethed in her face, the ice blue of his eyes was shaded to a deeper blue, and his voice was cracked and raspy. She immediately knew she was dealing with his alter ego, the one who had stayed dormant for a surprising amount of time but it was only a matter of time before she had to face him again.
Kat slapped him hard across his face causing a large red welt to start blooming on his cheek, his hands weakened for a second allowing Kat a quick response.
“I know! Alright I know” She forced her body to the left trying to shove him off of her but he didn’t give any slack in his grip instead he squeezed again.
“We had everything, we we’re on the verge of owning this damn city until you came along with your big doe eyes and pathetic act of the lonely poor bleeding soul of course he would feel a connection you’re like two fucking”
She got the door opened at the same time she landed a hard blow to his ribs with her fist; she flung him to the left again this time using leverage with her foot. Once he was off of her she pushed herself to the right causing her to tumble out of the car onto the hard wet ground, she crawled backwards towards the side ditch as snow covered her from the sky.
Jonathan stepped out of the car to stand staring at her with clenched fists, Kat looked up at his face, tears welled in her eyes until one slipped down her cheek. Sniffling down the other tears she pushed herself up while wiping her face. “I know what I have caused but I warned you, I told you I am cursed that everyone I have ever even gotten close to dies or I just plain ruin their lives but nooo You just couldn’t leave me alone, you were the one that took me you were the one that refused to listen to me and it’s your own damn fault that we are now stuck together forever!”
He stood there just staring at her with clench fists “What? Do you want your precious alone time with Jonathan, are you pissed that he doesn’t need you anymore, he’ll always have me, no matter what you say or do so go ahead and kill me, it’s the only way you’ll ever get him all to yourself again.”
She was expected him to do just that until he let out a laugh, it was a shaky wild laugh with a wide grin that shocked Kat, she never saw him smile so and realized she was now starting to get to know his alter ego very well.
“Oh Kitty you really are too much fun, alright truce for now besides I was tired of Jonathan’s uptight worrying but you took care of that” He responded as he started walking past her.
Kat watched him stroll down through the trees and proceeded to follow, she knew it was always a roller coaster ride with Jonathan but she enjoyed it, sure she didn’t enjoy scarecrow’s company as much as Jonathan’s but she could deal with him just fine.
After about 10 minutes of walking a fare distance behind him through the bushes and trees she came out into a clearing and noticed they were at the bridge Jonathan told his men to meet them at. Kat stood by the metal guard fence looking down at the dark blackness of water; she hawked a large spit ball into the vastness.
“Very lady like Kat” Jonathan’s voice was back to normal although much more quiet than usual.
“Oh and choking me is very gentlemen like” she responded
His hand slid down her back softly and his mouth nudged along her neck as he let out a low growl, “I know, it wasn’t you, technically” Kat muttered as she moved her head to give him more access, sometimes she hated how easily he could make her forget anything he does.
“Boss we made it, now what do we do?”
Jonathan straightened and turned to his men, “You three will go back to my penthouse, use the service elevator and grab all the files in the black cabinet, it shouldn’t be hard for you since all the other cabinets are grey” his arm was resting on the rail behind Kat his hand still placed on her back. “Grab as much clothes as possible as well and take them to the west point garage. There should be a black van waiting, toss everything in there and drive to this point.” He pulled a map out of his pocket and handed it to his one goon. “Got it?”
The goon nodded quickly and turned around, “Also round up as many of the men you can, tell them we got a party to go crash” Jonathan called after him, the goon nodded again and this time didn’t turn back around as he headed off with the other 2 men.
Kat was humming a slow melody that sounded like a ghost haunting a nursery; her focus seemed to be very slim lately. She would often wonder off in her head and stare into empty space like she saw something entirely different; he was pissed for the way he snapped on her. He should’ve had more control because the truth was he was the one who refused to do anything but keep her and that wasn’t ever going to change now; in truth he would die for her which scared him beyond belief. He wasn’t a self-sacrifice kind of guy; of course scarecrow would most likely stop him from doing such a thing and let her die and just the thought alone of it made him angry again.
“Come on, you need to eat” he snapped as he marched off to his right.
“I’m not hungry”
“You haven’t eaten anything today and I bet you didn’t eat anything yesterday either so don’t you dare start to lie to me” he growled as he continued to walk.
He only got a few more steps further though when he noticed she was still not moving, turning around he glared at her. She was staring off again, this time over the water at the bridge, unblinking and not moving a muscle she continued to hum. His patience was already wearing thin and he was hungrier than he had ever been, “What are you staring at now?” he had started to walk back to her when she held her hand up.
“Don’t move” she whispered her eyes never leaving the spot they were fixed on.
Without thinking he actually obeyed her and stopped just an arm’s length away from her, his eyes followed hers and he tried to make out anything in the dark but all he saw were the minimal traffic headlights driving across the bridge.
“Kat…” he growled in a deep warning
“Someone is there watching us” she whispered, “death’s shadow follows the night, why does the little sparrow fly…” she kept whispering nonsense for a moment until Jonathan finally snapped.
He started moving towards her again with angry stomps and was about to grab her when he saw out of the corner of his eye a shadow move, whipping his head to the side he caught the figure dashing across to the opposite side of the bridge.
She was still whispering little rhymes that made no sense to him but her eyes moved down to the water, “do you know who it was?” he asked still standing beside her.
Kat became silent and turned to face him, “I don’t have superhero sight you know, and it was too dark and far but an educated guess would be batman”
“Then how did you know someone was watching us?” he asked in an irked voice.
She didn’t answer, well at least not in a way he understood, just more lines about shadows and sparrows as she started to walk past him. He grabbed her upper arm and spun her to face him again, “Kat, you’re still with me right?”
She stared into his eyes, matching his stare and never blinking, “Where else would I be?”
His grip loosened and he brushed a stray hair behind her ear, “I don’t know for once, you seem so far at times”
“Well you do know I’m crazy right?” she stated with a smile “But as my favorite book says, all the good ones are”
Jonathan smiled back at her before capturing her mouth in a desperate kiss, the feel of her against him instantly relaxed himself and by the time he pulled away he felt more like himself again. With another painful grumble from his stomach he wrapped an arm around her shoulders, “Come on, we need to eat now” and without another word Kat followed him down the path.
They sat there in the empty park eating the fast food Crane had got them; they had walked around for at least an hour and Kat kept an eye out for the big pain in the ass that was batman but she never saw a thing so they finally stopped. Kat was tip toeing around the jungle Jim as she nibbled on one fry at a time. She hummed softly as she chewed and started jumping around the whole play set; the main thing Jonathan had noticed about her was also his favorite thing about her, no matter what she always seemed so carefree. The world could be coming down on her and she just hummed and twirled lost in her own mind, she was truly as free as a bird.
“You know I’m thinking baby doll isn’t the best name for you” he announced.
“Hm, really? And what is?” she finished her last fry and tossed the empty cardboard at the back of his head, hitting him so softly he barely felt it. He heard her chuckle and then she swung herself up on top of the monkey bars,
“Sparrow, since you never shut up about them” he responded.
He watched as she swung herself around and then did a double flip onto the sand, “How did you get so good at that by the way, when you fight you’re faster than even batman, you don’t have the strength to win but instead you have the agility and speed. Where did you learn it all?” he all of a sudden asked.
Kat shrugged and flopped down in the sand at his feet, “I burrowed myself into gymnastics; I liked the strict discipline it required. Took a bunch of self-defense classes along with aikido and Aiki-ken as well as jujutsu even some ninjutsu and I found that with the sai’s in my hand I felt alive, and empowered. After I left those classes I found that practicing knife play at home kept me feeling secure, so I kept up with it, just with steak knives though I could never afford a sai set and I guess that’s how I’m so good with a knife. Although I never thought I would actually have to use my training and of course I watch a shit ton of karate movies, Bruce Lee is my favorite” she answered with a smile as she started to build a snow sand castle.
Jonathan watched her for a few moments; he had finished eating and was now patiently waiting for the call to let him know his men were on their way. “And who taught you all of that?”
“There were classes in London; I basically just took up anything to make me feel not so pathetic and helpless. So where are we staying now? The hideout and penthouse will be known to the cops and I don’t know how many other places you have up your sleeve” Kat changed the subject just like him she hated talking about herself.
“I sent my men to a place that is just a hideout I used only twice. It’s too cold for me to think of any other option, I’m already to the point of freezing to death” Jonathan answered with a shiver.
Kat nodded and shuffled forward to lean her head against his lap and wrapped her arms around his waist, “I could keep you warm” she suggested with a tiny smirk.
“Even with how irresistible you are I’m pretty sure you’d have a better chance of finding a gopher right now then what’s shrunk in my pants. I can’t feel my toes, I don’t know how you’re sitting in the snow and not even shivering”
Kat rarely heard Jonathan complain it almost made her want to laugh but she knew not too, so instead she stretched and stood up. “You could come push me on the swing set, that’ll keep you warm, the key is to be moving so your circulation…”
“I’m well aware of how the human body works Kat” he growled.
She didn’t respond just twirled around and walked to the swing seat, Kat started to pump her legs to get more air. The night was silent to the point that you could hear every creek of the metal chains, Kat was about to start humming when she heard his phone go off. Jonathan talked for a couple of minutes and then stood up; “Let’s go” was all he muttered before he started walking off to his left.
Kat leaped from the swing once it hit the peak of its height, she landed softly on the frozen sand and jogged to catch up to him. “Are you still Mr. Crabby?” she inquired with a smile in his direction.
Jonathan looked down at her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, “Ask me again once I’m in a warm place”
Kat stood in the main room, if you could call it that, the new ‘hideout’ was more of a shithole and it made Kat seriously glum in record time. It was a small one story building that had a tiny one room basement; it was located in the middle of the most run down part of town with nothing but abandoned buildings around it. They had walked past 15 hookers and a dozen drug peddlers in the short 10 minute walk they took to get here, a baby could be heard screeching loudly down the block and Kat was seriously thinking about going there and strangling the kid herself. Her mood was in a very dangerous place that even her head was silent for once and it only got worse when she took a little tour.
There were 5 rooms in total, including a small bathroom that held a shower tub with no curtain and a rusted bottom. The ‘master’ bedroom was a small room not even attached to the closet sized bathroom, that had a blow up air mattress that Kat could tell was brought by the thugs since her blanket was tossed across it. The floors were at least swept and washed before they dumped her stuff on it. No doubt Jonathan ordered them to clean the small house, which brought a funny picture of big thugs in cleaning gloves washing down the walls and windows but she couldn’t even bring herself to let out a small laugh.
Looking at the window she saw dust and dirt and knew they obviously only cleaned the main parts, most people never took care for the little details. She was proven right on that account when she walked into the kitchen, the counters were wiped and the fridge but the walls and corners were filthy and there wasn’t even a stove, just a small microwave that again looked like it didn’t belong which told her it came with the other stuff. The fridge was thin and bare and the other 3 rooms were just as bare and weren’t touched by any hands. A large mouse skittered across the floor in one room when Kat stepped in; letting out a sigh she shut the door and left the mouse to its business.
When Kat came back into the living room she flopped onto the floor and let out a cry, “I think I want to be back in the holding tank at the station”
A loud thump of a box hitting the floor jerked her head in the direction, Jonathan stood there glaring down at her “You can leave at any time I’m not holding you against your will” he snapped.
“Oh don’t get all pissy on me, I have the right to be distraught this place is absolutely horrendous. We’re going to be robbed, raped and killed by tonight for sure, and I think that may be a reprieve.”
Jonathan knelt down by her body and looked down at her “Do you really think I’d keep you unsafe? You are starting to really piss me off”
Kat glared at him, “Do you really think my father meant to keep my family unsafe, shit happens” her voice was low and full of venom, the only other time Jonathan saw her like this was when Dr. Shelton couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
In a second he was sitting on her chest with his knees pinning her arms down, “We have nowhere else to stay at this moment, this is the safest place for us. I’m not worried about some stupid punk robber we need to be worried about batman and blackmask’s thugs so you will shut your mouth and suck it up since this predicament we find ourselves in is your fault”
“I never asked you to rescue me you fuck-head, you could’ve left me to rot for all you care so go play the blame game in the mirror”
The slap across her face echoed in the empty room at which Kat let out a frustrated scowl and fought to free her hands no doubt to do some damage of her own. Jonathan pushed down with more force and successfully held her down, after a moment Kat stilled her body and huffed out her breath.
“Done yet?”
“GO FUCK YOURSELF!” she screamed in his face.
“That seems to be your favorite thing to spat at me”
Just then she spit a small amount in his face, it landed on his left cheek with a couple of tiny drops landing on his glasses. “is that better to spit at you” she growled and when he went to wipe his cheek with his shoulder she pushed to the left at the same time thrust her hips up tossing him off of her. She stood and took off towards the master room; she shut the door and pushed a chair up against the knob. A second later it wobbled and then he started pounding on the door, Kat backed up and stood against the window.
“Kat if you do not open this door I swear I will let scarecrow do whatever he wants and I’m sure you will not like it” His voice was low and sounded controlled but she knew better.
“NO, not until you cool off”
“ME! YOU ARE THE ONE THAT STARTED THIS AND IM GOING TO FINISH IT!” he howled and then slammed his body into the door causing the whole wall to rattle.
Kat knew she was about to get it, there was no doubt that she had defiantly pushed him a tad too far with the whole spitting in the face but she was just as livid as he was and in no mood for playing. ‘So let him come in, we’ll show him just what we can do, hell if he can hurt us, why can’t we do it to him’
There were a couple more thuds and the chair shook but it still held and all become quiet again, Kat stood just where she was and waited. After about 10 minutes she felt like maybe he had enough and left, she softly moved towards the door and knelt down to look under the door crack. Sure enough there was no sign of feet telling her that he must have given up, letting out a sigh she stopped to think how long she should give him before coming out. She didn’t have to think long though because in an instant there was a hissing noise and gas slid from under the crack and filled her nostrils. Kat held her breath and scattered backwards but she inhaled enough to make her vision cloud slightly and the rushing sound filled her ears. Coughing and scattering back she leaned against the wall under the window, it was only a moment of relieve until the window smashed and a canister came flying into the room. With another hiss it popped its top and more gas filled the room in a matter of seconds.
She took off towards the door shoving the chair aside and ripping the door open on its hinges, Kat stumbled out of the room falling to the ground since her feet were now like jello and refused to hold her up.
“Now look what you made me do”
Kat didn’t turn towards the voice behind her, she instead crawled away still coughing and trying to clear her vision. After a few seconds of trying her arms started to shake and wobble so she let out a grunt and flopped onto her back. “That wasn’t your toxin” she stated as she felt her whole body tremble.
“No, you have too much fun on that. This is just a little nerve gas nothing too bad of course it’s not the gas you need to be worried about”
She opened her eyes and looked at him, he was fuzzy, or that was just her vision but she could still make out the clear undiluted anger on his face. His glasses were off as was his jacket and tie, the front door opened and two men came barreling in.
“Boss we heard a...”
“Get out, it was just me and stay in the damn car not in front of the place. Do you want to give batman a fucking clear neon sign as to where I am” with a bunch of stuttered apologies the two men left them alone.
Kat let out a laugh, “What no help? You’re going to need it”
“Kat you can barely stand up let alone do anything, what is it I wonder that you have planned?” he remarked in with that smirk that Kat found all too annoying.
“Oh Jonny have you become one of those men that underestimate me, tsk tsk”
He came down to grab her and at the exact same time she grabbed his wrist and using his momentum she flipped him onto his back and flung on top of him. In a flash she had a small knife pressed to his throat with her knee digging into his chest.
“There you see I don’t need my feet or body strength to take you down”
Jonathan glared at her, he stayed completely still while the blade bit into his skin, “Are you planning on killing me Katalina?”
Her eyes narrowed and she pushed on the knife causing a small nick on his neck, “Do you want me to Johnny Boy?”
He ignored the knife and laid a punch on her side causing her to grunt and lean forward the knife bit in some more, “What do you want?” he asked after a moment of Kat glaring at him with an anger he never saw before. “Are we just going to fight all day long?”
Kat started to feel weak and very tired but she didn’t show it, she just held the knife and stared, “I want you to apologize for blaming me”
“I want you to apologize for spitting in my face like a disgusting child”
She removed the blade and slammed it into the ground a couple of inches from his face, “I’m sorry for spitting in your face”
“I’m sorry for blaming you, and maybe if you learned for once to watch what you say I wouldn’t have had to gas you out of a locked room.”
Kat all of a sudden slapped him hard across the face, it was hard enough to turn her hand red and the snap could be heard through the whole house. “That’s for the punch to the ribs”
Jonathan shoved her off of him and stood up before Kat could say a word, she braced herself for the blows that were bound to follow but instead he had walked out of the house. At first she just laid there keeping her body braced, after a few moments she relaxed but didn’t move. ‘he’s going to get his toxin, or more nerve gas, or he just went out to tell his men he’s had enough of us and to kill us’ she stayed right where she was with thoughts and scenario’s in her head. She lost track of time but once the sun started to peep through the windows her eyes were so heavy they refused to stay open anymore and followed her body into sleep.
The sound of a creek in the floorboards snapped Kat awake, her head shot up to see one of the men standing there, at first her heart restricted and for second she actually thought that he was here to kill her according to Jonathan’s orders. The man held up a bag of food and placed it on the floor beside her, “Boss told me to give you this and to check on you. Err you don’t need any help do you?” he looked more nervous than a mouse in a trap.
Kat shook her head no and the man turned around and left her alone again. Pushing herself up she realized she could feel her feet again and her body was no longer a wobbly mess but her stomach was painfully clenching and growling at the thought of food.
Reaching for it she opened the brown paper bag to see a sandwich and a banana along with a bottle of sparkling water. She unwrapped the sandwich and lifted it to her nose, it smelt normal but Kat wasn’t so sure, she hadn’t felt this uneasy since she had first awoke in the basement. ‘What is he playing at? Do you think he would just poison us out of the kindest of his heart rather than have his men kill us? And where the hell is he?’
Kat took a bite out of the sandwich with a shrug to herself, ‘whatever, if he wants us dead that dead it is, all we have is what he says’ she knew how it sounded but she couldn’t care less, to her it was just the way it was, the way she liked it.
She finished the food and drink and then fell backwards back onto the floor, after a couple more hours of her laying still as a corpse a mouse, one that looked just like the one from yesterday came out from under the fridge and cautiously bounced up to her empty wrapper. Its beady black eyes stayed on hers as it reached out with its tiny paws and grabbed a large bread crumb. It shoved it into its mouth and started to chew quickly, Kat just watched as it devoured every last crumb, then grabbed the end nub on her banana and dragged it off back under the fridge. After a long yawn she let her mind drift off back to sleep.
The smell of flowers filled her nostrils and she felt a soft brush down her cheek, she was so groggy it took a moment for her to realize it wasn’t in her dream and that she was awake. Kat let out a groan and brushed the annoyance away from her face; at first she thought it might have been the mouse again trying to eat the crumbs off of her. Just then a mouth was on hers, soft and gentle and her eyes snapped opened to see it was Jonathan; he pulled back and looked down at her from his squatted position. He held up a bouquet of lilies and pansies with long vibrant green leaves and a couple of feathers mixed in.
She raised an eyebrow and then accepted the package from his hand. Kat sat up slowly and stared at the flowers, the sun was just setting again which irritated her to know how much she slept, not to mention on a dirty floor with a mouse running over her no doubt.
Jonathan reached down and offered her his hand, she took it and he pulled her up to stand. She wobbled slightly but he helped stabilized her with a hand on her waist and then he pulled her into him. His face buried into her hair and his arms wrapped around her tightly. Kat stood there for a second trying to let her brain catch up to what was going on because she felt clueless.
“Ah, what is going on? Oh great you are planning on killing me aren’t you?” she asked
“Shut up with your stupid comments and get your ass in the living room” he mumbled in her ear and pulled away from her.
She frowned slightly and proceeded to follow him, when she walked into the living room she saw nothing special, besides one small couch and a small ghetto old television. It was on and switched to the evening news, the lady was talking about a storm coming in and they should expect a cloudy scary night. Jonathan had sat down and took another gulp of a dark red liquid in a wine glass, when he held out a glass towards her she took the hint and came to sit beside him taking the glass simultaneously.
Kat swirled the liquid and smelt it before taking a tiny sip, it was wine and a very delicious one at that, she took another gulp the next time and let the sweet liquid burn down her throat. She was about to gulp the whole thing down when Jonathan gently pulled the glass down, “You’re going to get sick if you continue drinking it that fast” he stated with a smile.
Staring at him with a quizzical look she opened her mouth to speak “what is going on? You seem normal compared to how you left. If a slap gets me flowers and wine I can’t imagine what I have to do for diamonds”
“Oh no, that slap is not forgotten and will be paid back in due time” he responded with a grin “but I went for a walk, spoke to our new ‘friend’” he said the word with distain “and came to the realization that maybe you just need something to occupy your time while I’m busy with this.. Situation”
“I can help I mean it is my fault that we’re in it”
“Yes you will help but no it’s not your fault, just that fucking batman” he took another swig making Kat feel like she could take another one although hers was much bigger. “No I mean you need something fun and exciting to do and while I’d love for you to maim and murder, right now is not the best time so I thought of something else”
Kat was now very intrigued as to what he was getting at, her birthday was coming up in a few weeks but somehow she didn’t think it was that. Taking another gulp of her wine she placed the flowers down onto the floor beside her and took another swig. “Okay, you got me on the edge of my seat, what is it you’re talking about?”
Jonathan was about to speak when the television caught their attention. There was a different lady on the screen now with a red breaking news bulletin sprawled across the bottom of the screen.
“Commissioner Gordon along with the Gotham police have just released this breaking story, it seems the infamous Scarecrow villain who poisoned a large part of Gotham City last year and who has managed to elude batman for so long has now been identified as Dr. Jonathan Crane of Arkham Asylum, this is an astounding discovery after Dr. Crane dressed as scarecrow proceeded with The jokers help in aiding a fellow criminal to escape captivity. The escapee has now been announced as Katalina Adams, a young woman from London who recently moved here to Gotham just a few months ago. It has been also revealed that Miss Adams is in fact the new criminal Baby Doll who has been seen according to witnesses as an accomplice to the scarecrow; the recent aid in escape has now confirmed these testimonies and has led to a massive city search for the couple. Police are advising that if anyone sees’s the pair or either one they should call 911 immediately and are not to approach for any reason as they are both armed and extremely dangerous. A body that was identified as a former doctor of Katal….”
Jonathan hit the mute button on the television and lightly gripped her chin, “Kat ignore the reporter” he must’ve known how much she was pissed off at the woman calling her by her full name, never mind blabbing her story to the world. “People of Gotham love to hear all the details, you can be sure they’ll talk all about our past and how it made us and speculate on things they can’t even begin to comprehend, just remember it won’t matter once the city is ours”
Kat looked back at Jonathan and gulped the last bit in her glass, “Yes, They’ll all burn and I’ll be the one laughing on their ashes” she seethed.
He filled her glass again with a laugh, “Yes Kat, you can have whatever you want but first back to what I was saying”
With another full glass she sipped it this time and sat back slightly, “Yes let’s get back to that, what is it I’m going to be planning?”
Jonathan filled his glass again and with another drink he looked back at her, “How about a wedding?”
The sip of wine Kat was about to swallow flew out of her mouth and onto the floor, “what!” she exclaimed while her eyes turned to the size of dinner plates.
“Harley wants your help in planning her wedding; she wouldn’t shut up about it since Joker gave her that diamond ring you threw back at Joker’s face. Quite a dimwitted woman she is I have no clue how she got a degree”
Kat’s heart sunk faster than the wine hit her stomach, “Oh” she replied while staring down into her glass. “Well there’s no way in hell that’s happening I can’t stand that woman, if you’ll excuse me I need a shower, I’m sure there’s mouse shit in my hair” Taking the glass with her she left the flowers where they lay on the floor and walked out of the living room.
Jonathan watched her go and couldn’t help but noticed how sullen she became all of a sudden, he was starting to get frustrated again, what the hell did he have to do to get her back to normal. She loved planning things and she always talked about those stupid wedding shows she liked to watch, he thought it would at least keep her happy to hang around with another woman, true he did not like the idea of anything about Harley rubbing off onto Kat but he couldn’t guess she hated her as much as he did.
‘So she doesn’t like the woman why would it make her so damn depressed about my suggestion’
‘She thought you were asking her to marry her’ Scarecrow was crackling in his head ‘oh you really aren’t as smart as you think you are Johnny boy’
Jonathan thought about that for a moment, did she really think that, well the way he worded it he suppose he could see how it would sound to her.
‘Great so now I have to go propose to her when we’re in the middle of a major crisis’
That thought only caused scarecrow to laugh even harder, it ringed through his head making him want to bash it against a wall. ‘You idiot, if you suggested it now it would just be because of this and she would know it too dipshit’
Jonathan sighed and finished his drink, ‘I have no fucking clue about this whole relationship thing’
“I want another drink” she announced out of the blue behind him obviously abandoning her shower plan, she picked up the bottle from the floor beside him, she gulped directly from the bottle until he grabbed the bottom and pulled it away from her.
“Kat this wine is going to knock you on your ass and I don’t need a repeat of drunken Kat”
She was about to turn to leave when he grabbed her hand and with a light pull yanked her onto his lap, “Kat I’m sorry about my suggestion, I thought you wanted something to distract you, you seem so not like my Kat” he whispered as he nudged her neck, kissing along her scar.
“You’re a very nice distraction” she responded wrapping her arms around his neck
Jonathan laughed and went to put his glass down with the bottle but Kat took it from him and gulped the last bit left. She then tossed it behind him and it shattered with a smash, Kat smiled “it would probably just add to the place, nothing could make it worst”
“I think you’ve already had too much to drink” he responded brushing her hair out of her face, it had grown out now to go just past her shoulders but it was still the vibrant blood red color that he loved to slide between his fingers.
“No such thing as too much” her mouth slid against his; “Mmm you taste like too much wine” she giggled.
“Marry me”
Kat pulled back to stare at his face, “that’s not funny”
Jonathan gripped her chin, “I’m not joking, and Kat Crane actually has a very nice ring to it, a whole new identity for a whole new life. I’ve never thought of marriage myself but”
“Are you just saying this cause you need to beat Joker at everything?”
He spun her to the side so he was now in between her legs and pushing her into the couch cushions, “You should know better, besides it’s not going to be a joke. Just you and me”
“Where’s the ring? Did you seriously propose to me without a ring?”
“I’ll get you a ring later” his hand pulled her shirt up and off and dropped it on the floor. The television was still on mute but the white blue glow bathed her creamy skin and he could see the scars she hated so much.
Kat placed her hand over her stomach hiding something he assumed was a scar, he gripped her hand and pulled it up to rest beside her head. “Don’t ever hide from me Kat, You’re mine every inch”
He had never really taken the time to look her over, most of the time it was the hectic and overwhelming need to be inside her always won out against taking his time. Right now he wanted to explore every inch of her skin; he noticed the scar she tried to hide first since it was the deepest and most noticeable of them all. It was located on her lower abdomen and was the wound that ruined her chances of ever having kids. There was another long one along the top of her left breast and then a dozen small nicks that had faded into her pale skin. Her neck scar was still slightly red and he noticed she had a small cut right at the base of her throat. His fingers trailed everyone he found and then he placed a kiss on them right after.
“You’re so beautiful Kat, if only you could see it” he whispered against her skin as he unclasped her bra.
“Ditto right back at ya, its why that skank bitch was nipping at your heels all the time” she growled
Jonathan smiled at her and unzipped her pants pulling them down to expose her matching lace panties, the pants he dropped with the shirt. There were only a few scars on her legs and they were all located on her upper thighs, his hand slid all the way back up to her chest. Kat reached out and slipped his glasses off his face, when he looked up at her she put them on and made an adorable pout face.
“What do you think? Do I pull them off as well as you?”
“Much more than anyone ever could” was his response as his mouth captured hers.
“Can you see without these on? I mean obviously you can see since you don’t wear them with the mask but how well can you see without them?” Kat laughed
“I can see fine, just not things far away I’m slightly near sighted”
“Slightly?” she asked skeptically
“Watch it” he growled with a bite to her navel.
Kat let out a yelp of laughter and pulled his hair with a quick yank; Jonathan pulled off her bra and brushed his fingertips against her hardened nipple. “So, Kat Crane huh? Well maybe I want you to be Jonathan Adams”
He stopped and glanced up to meet her eyes, she could only keep her straight face for a few seconds before she let out a laugh, “Then you could shorten it and be John Adams” she followed her joke with more laughter.
“Keep it up Kat and I just might get you a plastic bread tie for a ring”
Kat smiled, “I wouldn’t care, I just want your name and you all to myself of course”
“Ditto on the last part” he responded while taking her nipple into his mouth.
All other thoughts flew out her head and like a match thrown into gasoline her body went up in flames quicker than she could blink. When he was done with his assault on her breasts he moved his mouth down her stomach giving her mind time to start up again. “So um, what are we doing about our situation?”
“Kat I am trying to enjoy myself here but if I’m just boring you I could stop”
Kat laughed “sorry and no don’t stop I love the feeling of your hands on me, I just can’t shut off my thoughts”
“There’s a party we’re going to crash, a few associates I need to take care of and since Christmas is just around the corner Gotham will be occupied with celebrating and getting drunk”
He heard her sigh softly and his eyes caught hers, he saw the sadness in them almost immediately and knew she was still upset about not celebrating Christmas the way she wanted. He had to do something, something that would shake her out of it and he had to do it quick. Standing up he pulled her along with him by her hands, “Come on, let’s go to bed and tomorrow we’ll see where we stand”
Kat followed him into the bedroom wearing nothing but her underwear she was tipsy and tired but her libido won and her fingers started to make quick work of his shirt before he stopped her. “Lay down Kat” he spoke softly as he led her towards the bed, “on your front”
Kat followed his command and felt the bed tip under his weight when he joined her side, his hand slid along her back and then proceeded to make small circles up her spine and sides. She didn’t know what he was planning but her eyes became very heavy and it was getting harder to stay awake. After a few more minutes of his soothing back rub she let herself succumb to the darkness swirling around her head and drifted off into a deep sleep.
Jonathan had laid on his side resting his head on his free hand, his other hand kept sliding along her silky smooth flesh while he watched her face as she slept. He saw the other scars, a few more vicious than others and some were faded so much he could barely see them in the dark. He needed to get her a gift that she would absolutely love, material things didn’t matter to her, sure she loved any gift he got her but he wanted something that would light up her face with that wide grin like when he surprised her with Dr. Shelton. With that thought a great idea popped into his head, sure it would be risky especially with the whole city on alert now but it would be worth every bit if he pulled it off.
Settling down into the blankets he pulled Kat against him and buried his face in her hair, she muttered something inaudible to him and then let out a deep breath before she was silent and still again. After a couple more minutes of listening to her sleep he followed suit and let himself drift off.
Kat awoke the next morning to the sun in her face and a horrible headache, ‘oh why do I drink so often when I always end up with a fucking migraine’ she cursed. Dragging herself up and over to her bag she rummaged through it until she found something to pull on her naked body. Since she was feeling very lazy she tossed on a simple slip dress that had a fanned out skirt that stopped halfway down her thighs and was a beautiful sky blue. It had thick shoulder straps and a sweetheart neckline, the waist was clinched and showed off her hourglass shape. Slipping on her sneakers with a pair of ankle socks she pulled her hair up and walked out to the living room.
The house was empty and upon further inspection she found a note on the fridge door from Jonathan, it stated he had something to take care of and he would be back as soon as he could. Kat crumpled up the small piece of paper and tossed it in the garbage bag. Her hair brushed against her cheek and she fought it back, after another moment of slowly getting more annoyed with her hair she stomped back into the bedroom and grabbed a pair of searing scissors. Walking into the bathroom she wet her hair and then towel dried it as much as possible, once she was finished with that she combed it out and started to cut. After 30 minutes she was satisfied and flopped down onto the couch, she channeled surfed for a while and then settled on the afternoon news to listen to more reports of missing people, batman capturing some thugs, sunny day was to be expected to last until this evening when the storm was due. Another update report on her and Jonathan’s ID and still at large bulletin that also included the joker, Harley Quinn, a man named Bane, the riddler and Harvey Dent who was called two-face. After an hour of news Kat couldn’t listen anymore so she found the food channel and wasted away time cleaning every inch she could reach until she heard the front door open later on in the evening.
Not taking any chances Kat had now always kept the small handgun she still had by her side and now held it in her hand as she came around the corner. Seeing Jonathan walk into the kitchen she placed the weapon down on the couch and came to greet him.
Jonathan looked up to see Kat walk in looking radiant and beautiful as always, he noticed that she had cut her hair so that it was layered again but this time she cut her bangs straight across to rest along her eyebrows.
“Your hair looks very nice” he stated as he pulled out some food items and placed them in the fridge.
“Thanks, it was bothering me so I decided it was time for a change. So what’s on the schedule for tonight? Party crashing?” Kat inquired as she jumped onto the counter.
Jonathan shook his head no and once he was finished he turned to her, “No Joker is a bit preoccupied with dealing with Black mask seeing how Joker robbed him of a cool million dollars. So batman is our problem right now, I suspect he would be expecting us to do something at the Gotham Christmas gala so let’s let them have their cake and eat it too, for right now he’s not going anywhere. Christmas is in 2 days so I thought we could celebrate a little bit early”
Kat smiled, “but I didn’t get you anything, you won’t let me leave the house”
“Of course not, we’re wanted felons now Kat, you can’t just stroll out there without a care”
“Well no duh but how the hell am I supposed to get you anything if you’re always with me?” she whined
With one look from Jonathan she stopped however and jumped off the counter, “You want to get me something? How about just keeping your ass safe and in this house without another complaint” he responded.
Kat pouted behind his back and mimicked his mouth silently, “Yeah sure whatever, one lab rat locked in a cage without a squeak right here” she muttered and walked back into the living room.
“Your gift is going to be here in less than an hour so if you are going to start the whole child act again maybe I’ll just cancel it” he warned as he grabbed her arm and slammed her against the doorframe.
Kat wiped the pout off of her face and glared right back into his eyes, “Fine but I am coming when the shit hits the fan no matter what you say. We’re partners remember? We work better together and you know you need me.”
Before he could respond Kat’s tongue snuck out and flicked along his bottom lip, with a sharp nip following Jonathan pushed against her capturing her mouth in a hungry kiss. When he pulled away Kat wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest.
“Oh Jonathan I feel so cooped up, like I’m back in the institute. I need some kind of freedom, a walk in the park again, or a dark movie theater anywhere but in a dingy disgusting hideout”
“Kat, I know and I’m sorry for that but at the moment there is nothing I can do. We just need to suck it up for a while but I promise you, you will have whatever you want and whenever you want it. It’s just going to take some time and with all these mishaps it’s causing delays. Can you please just hang in there for now?” he pulled her back to meet her eyes again.
Kat smiled and nodded her head, “Anything you ask, and you even said please” she gloated
Jonathan scowled and pulled her towards the living room, “Yes, you are rubbing onto me quite often lately”
“So this gift, will I actually like it or is it going to blow up in your face again?” Kat giggled.
“You’ll see” he stopped in the middle of the room and glanced around a few times “Did you clean up?”
“Of course, you know how I feel about my living space” she responded.
“Kat you do know we won’t be here for much longer? We can’t afford to stay in one spot right now” he warned as he loosened his tie.
“Yeah yeah it don’t matter I aint living in filth for even a day” she muttered while flopping down on the couch and tossing the handgun onto the floor beside the television set.
“I’m going to go eat something before your gift gets here”
Kat nodded but stayed on the couch channel surfing without much interest. Jonathan walked into the kitchen and made himself a sandwich while checking his watch. After he had finished eating and cleaned up after himself he came back into the living room and removed his untied tie and jacket and had proceeded to un tuck his shirt. Just then the front door opened wide and the sound of a gruff voice and a somewhat familiar female voice filled the small house. Kat looked up at Jonathan with a raised eyebrow and stood up at his commanding gesture. Standing by his side it only took a moment for the voices to match bodies that entered the living room. The two goons that were holding the two captives pushed them onto the couch; Kat’s jaw nearly hit the floor when she saw just who was sitting a few feet from her.
“This is my gift? What am I supposed to do with her?” Kat inquired while motioning towards Dr. Kaed “not to mention they brought her here! Now batman is sure...”
“Kat, again you are making me believe that you think I’m an idiot” his voice became low.
Kat looked down towards the ground with an ashamed look on her face, “I’m sorry, of course you thought of everything” she replied while shifting uncomfortably.
Jonathan smirked, ‘now that’s more like it’ he thought as he held out his hand. “Now what do you say?”
Kat took his hand and reached up on her toes to plant a kiss on his mouth, “thank you for this wonderful gift, which I still don’t know what to do with”
“Maim and murder of course” was his reply.
Kat laughed and shook her head, “What are you talking about! Jonathan this woman is crazy and she is a criminal, I know you can’t be the scarecrow; you have everything you could want. They are just mistaken and they’ll find that out all you have to do is turn yourself in and they’ll clear up everything.” Dr. Kaed cried out. Kat looked her over and saw her makeup was a mess, mascara ran down her face and stained it black, her lipstick was smeared and her eyes were puffy and red from the massive tears that streamed down her cheeks.
Kat laughed even harder at that outburst until she had to keel over to catch her breath, Jonathan just stood there with a blank look on his face. “Oh you really are too stupid, you and Harley are tied for most pathetic doctor at Arkham award.” Kat responded.
“You crazy bitch! You’re going to get fucked up in jail once the cops arrest you, I’ll personally pay someone to beat the shit out of you right before they make your mouth a fucking commodity!”
“I would be very careful with how you speak to my wife Dr. Kaed or you might end up in a worst position than you already are in” Jonathan stated in a very low dangerous voice.
“Your..Wife...” she stuttered with a look of complete shock on her face.
Kat had a smile on her face so wide she felt like her cheeks might break, “Oh goody I can’t wait to play, although it would’ve been nice if I could’ve gotten you something but I know. No need to go into the whole speech again”
Out of the blue Jonathan slapped her so hard that her body hit the ground faster than she could blink, her jaw throbbed slightly and the metallic taste entered her mouth. Touching her lip she felt the small cut that had blossomed from the hit, standing up she spun to face him with a renewed anger. He simply shrugged “It wouldn’t be fair to give you your gift when you are due for a punishment. That was for yesterday’s little stint, I’m sure you remember?”
“Not as much as your face does” she responded with a sickening sweet smile “and if I recall you deserved that slap for the cheap punch to my ribs”
He raised an eyebrow slightly and was about to speak, “You both are seriously fucked in the head” Dr. Kaed interrupted with pure fear written on her face.
Kat turned to her and then noticed the man sitting beside her, “Who is that?” she asked the thug standing behind the couch.
The thug looked down at the floor and then back to Kat nervously, “ah it’s some guy, she uh was on a date or somethin’ N’ we couldn’t get her by herself, so we jus’ grab em both boss said to make sure we was back here with her by 11 or else”
Kat smiled even wider and strolled over to the man sitting on the couch, “Hm, yes I see why Dr. Kaed here was dating him, such a pretty man with perfect manicured nails” she noted while running her finger down his chest “How about it pretty boy, do you think you could kiss my booboo better?”
The loud bang of a gun echoed in the small room along with Dr. Kaed’s scream, blood splattered the thug and a couple of droplets landed on her dress. The man’s head flopped back dead with a hole in his forehead, spinning around she glared at Jonathan who held her gun in his hand.
“What was that about? You just shot my gift!”
“No she’s your gift, not making out with another man” he seethed as he pointed at Dr. Kaed.
“Well that’s fine, I always did want to try necrophilia” Kat replied
In two steps Jonathan was in front of her and Kat braced for another hit but was surprised when he grabbed her neck and slammed his mouth against hers; bruising her wounded lip. Kat moaned and wrapped her arms around his neck while responding greedily to his assault.
“I love you so fucking much” she moaned into his kiss causing him to groan in response and kiss her even more deep than possible.
Dr. Kaed was crying yet again as she stared at the dead man sitting beside her, she then tried to take off to the left while Jonathan was busy devouring Kat. The thug grabbed her one shoulder and pushed her right back down onto the cushion, “ah Boss, what should I do with her?”
Jonathan finally pulled away from Kat so they could catch some air and looked down at her, “Ask Kat, it’s her Christmas gift”
Kat thought for a moment with a dramatic gesture on her face before shrugging, “Put her in the basement I have to give my husband a thank you surprise. Once you’re done that you can go back out front” She grabbed his hand and pulled him into the bedroom while Jonathan grinned from ear to ear.
“You are getting so bossy” he commented as he shut the door behind him with his foot.
“Oh yeah, well than get on the bed” she demanded with a shove on his chest.
Jonathan landed on the mattress with oomph and grinned up at her, “I don’t really like giving up power or control as you are well aware” he warned.
Kat smiled, “yeah well you don’t have a say now do you” she grabbed his tie from on top of a bag beside her and walked over to him.
Leaning down to straddle him she gripped his wrists and tied the fabric around snuggly without cutting off the circulation. Laughing Jonathan looked up at his hands, “There’s nothing for you to tie this to”
“No matter the point has been made; now let’s get these pants off shall we?”
Muwhahaa, I know how very evil of me but I couldn’t help myself :D I promise to update soon thanks for all the support!
