Hello everybody my name is TheAwoken54321 and welcome back to Junkers in Arkham City.
Not many questions to be answered frankly
Well, there aren't any to be more precise. So I'm guessing you guys aren't confused about anything or to adventurous on future events that may occur in the story. That's... odd. I'm not used to this.
Anyway, like most of you guessed it. The pairing to this story will eventually be Junkrat x Harley Quinn. Well that is as soon as Harley's feeling develop more for Jamison throughout the story. Hopefully I can pull this off. I already figured how I'm gonna end this story, but all I have to do is figure out how to get there.
Sadly this story isn't going to be as long as the others. So probably at least 10 chapters long or less. Maybe a little more.
So yeah, I guess that's all
Now without a further a do...
Let the story continue.
Enjoy... Or not, your choice.
"So as you can see. Mr. J's steel mill is one of the best places you can ever be in Arkham." Harley looked back at the two Junkers smiling as she walked backwards."No, scratch that. It is the best place you can be in Arkham." She turned around and placed her hands together all flustered. "It always makes him smile to see his underlings so happy and determined to do anything for him." Sigh~ "The wonders of it just puts a smile to my face."
"Uh huh. Whateva' ya say beautiful." Junkrat mumbled as he stared at Harley with half lidded eyes.
Roadhog suddenly punched his bud in the arm.
"Ow!" Junkrat flinched as he rubbed his arm in pain. "Wot was that for mate?"
"Knock it off..." Were the only words Roadhog responded.
"Huh? Is there something wrong?" Harley looked between the two once she heard some ruckus going on behind her. She was completely oblivious to what this Junkrat fellow said to her a few moments ago.
"No no no. Nothing wrong happened." Junkrat waved both hands frantically at her. "Everything's alroight. I just hit mah foot on something a moment ago."
"Oh my..." Harley spoke surprised. She then started to walk towards Junkrat interested in something.
"Wot? Wot is it? Do I have somethin' on mah face." Junkrat stated as he rubbed his cheek with his robotic hand. He then felt Harley grabbed that very same hand before looking at it as if she was studying it. "What'cha doin' there?"
"That's... odd. I've heard of metal gloves that look like robot arms before but I never actually heard of a robotic arm that can replace a limb." She then caught sight of Junkrat's right leg... right peg leg to be more specific. She looked at the peg leg for a moment before staring back at Junkrat. "How'd you get that peg leg and robot arm anyway? Something must have happened to you if you turned out like this."
"Oh these?" Junkrat stared at his omnic like arm. "I actually built them mahself. Well, after I accidentally blew my right arm and leg off with one of mah bombs."
"Bombs?"
"Yeah, bombs." Junkrat smiled. "i grew an interest in 'em ever since the omn- Well, ever since I left Australia of course." Junkrat cut off the information of the Omnic Crisis. Knowing that Derek's Crew didn't know shit about the Omnics and just batted the two as crazy, what's to say that Harley won't do the same. Well, even though she's crazy herself.
"Ah~ so you came from Australia?" Harley exclaimed. "I always hated the spiders there. They creep me out." She shivered at the thought of it.
"Eh, spiders aren't somethin' I'm not to worried about. If you leave 'em alone they'll leave you alone. I'm more cautious around snakes though they frickin come after ya no matta wot."
"Well, I guess that makes two of us huh?" Harley softly nudged him causing both of them to laugh a little.
As they kept on laughing, Junkrat suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder. Turning around, he saw his buddy Hog staring at him.
"Hmm, wot is it hog?" Junkrat stared questioningly at him.
"Stop it..." Was all he said.
"Eh? Come on hog. It's alroight to be cheerful once in a while. There ain't no harm in that."
...
Sigh "I'm seriously gonna have to get you to relax and enjoy life when you can ain't I." Junkrat stared at him annoyed.
Roadhog said nothing as he only took the time to inspect his hook.
"Is your friend always like this?" Harley asked as he watched Roadhog sharpen his hook.
"Hog wasn't always loike this, from what he told me, he lost his family to some people we don't loike. Of course I never knew him when he lost his wife and kids, but he told me about them later on when we started to do business togetha'." Junkrat whispered to her.
"That's sad to hear. I wouldn't know what to do if the same thing happened to me." Harley frowned a bit.
"Yeah, poor hog. I wouldn't know what to do either." Junkrat muttered.
The two stood like that for a while not noticing the closeness their bodies were together. They both stared at hog for a while before looking back at each other. As soon as there eyes met, they flushed a bit noticing the closeness the two were at. Immediately, they both yelped and jumped back away from each other avoiding each others gaze.
"I-I think we better continue the tour..." Harley blurted out with her back facing towards him.
"Yeah, definitely." Junkrat quickly responded. He turned to hog before shouting. "Hog! Come one we're going again!" Junkrat came by bud's side not a moment after.
Roadhog let out a grunt in confirmation as he looked toward towards his partner/boss. He grew concerned on seeing his partner's face flushed red though. Looking towards the female clown, he saw her fidgeting around.
Yup, something happened between the two. He just knew it. Looking towards Junkrat, he stared at him with a questioning gaze waiting for some answers.
"Wot?" Junkrat asked once he realized his buddy was looking at him. "Nothing happened between us hog. I swear!"
Roadhog just diverted his attention away from Junkrat with another grunt. He found it amusing, his bud was mumbling about this Harley girl saying that she stole his heart a moment ago, but now he's flat out embarrassed to admit something happened between them.
Oh how he loved people with rapid mood swings.
"Oi! Don't ignore me ya lousy bugger!" Junkrat's face turned red in anger and embarrassment as he continued to yell at Roadhog.
Meanwhile Harley was having her own thoughts about what just happened.
"That was way to close! I've never been that near someone other than Mr. J and B-man, well the bat doesn't count all to much." Harley took a peek behind her watching Junkrat throw a tantrum all over the big brute. "Normally if that happened I would most likely kill the bozo! But why didn't I do it this time?" She focused her attention on the smaller Australian man. "Just who are you, Junkrat?"
Half an hour has went by since the 'incident' between the clown and the rat. During that half hour though, Harley managed to finish the tour around the steel mill for the two Junkers. But in that half hour she grew somewhat disappointed. Mainly because her pudding didn't tag along with them like he said he would. But she can't judge him for not showing up as well. He might've received something important to do much more than show these men around his territory. Well, part of it.
She gave out a sigh as she leaned against a big headed statue of herself in one of her original costumes. As she leaned on it, she looked strangely at the two Junkers watching as Junkrat bopped one of Jokers balloons around while Roadhog just popped them in amusement.
"Wow, didn't know bopping balloons around could be so much fun." She heard Junkrat say.
"No... popping 'em are better." Roadhog gave his own thought.
"Sure, what'eva ya say hog."
Harley's mouth curved up slightly into a smile as she watched them continue playing/popping with Joker's balloon. They looked like a pair of kids to her for a moment. She giggled a bit at the thought of it.
"Harley!" The sound of Joker's voice rang out from the Harley statue next to her causing the three to jump in surprise. Junkrat and Roadhog immediately looked around trying to find Joker but Harley instead turned to the statue next to her before pressing a button on it.
"Yes puddin'?"
"Get on back here if you're done with that tour. I need to have a word with you." Joker stated.
She pressed the button again. "Ok sweetie, but what should I do with the two men?"
"What men?"
"You know, the big chub guy with the mask and Junkrat."
Joker took a second to recall these two. "Oh yes those two. Bring 'em along to my office if you'd like. If they don't want to then have a couple of my men escort them out."
"Sure thing sweetie." Harley leaned away from her bob headed statue before looking at the two Junkers. "I'm guessing you already heard what he said. So do you wanna come with or be escorted out."
Junkrat and Roadhog looked at each other for a brief second before the smaller Australian man responded.
"Eh, Hog and I don't know these streets all to well. This Arkham City is still pretty new to us. I think it's best we stick with someone who knows these streets until us two can handle ourselves around 'ere." Junkrat looked towards his bud. "Kapeesh?"
"Yeah." Roadhog agreed.
"Well then, follow me you two." She motioned. "And don't touch anything while you're in Mr.J's office. He doesn't like people messing with his stuff." She then turned and started to walk off in a general direction.
"No promises." Junkrat muttered as the two quickly followed after the seductive looking clown.
The three criminals finally came upon Joker's office where Harley then entered it followed by Junkrat and Roadhog.
"I'm here swe-"
"Ch ch ch ch, shush." Joker interrupted his girlfriend as he was listening into some radio with what seems to be a pair of headphones.
"Oh, sorry." She whispered. She then motioned for the two Junkers to be quiet as well as she closed the door behind them.
After a few moments Joker grew a devious smile as he started to giggle menacingly before placing the headphones down. "Oh Harley-dear."
"Yes puddin'?"
Joker looked at her from over his shoulder giving her a big ol smile. "Round up some of the boys. You're going to be heading towards and abandon church next to Harvey's courthouse in order to retrieve some doctors for me."
Harley smiled knowing Joker wanted these doctors to cure his illness. "I'm on it sugar. I'll be back in a few." She beamed delightfully as she skipped to another door and went inside.
Once she was gone Joker turned his attention towards his guests. "You two."
Junkrat quirked an eyebrow. "Yeah? Wot is it?"
"Now, I'm not totally obligated to do this since I have no rule over you two gentlemen, but I was wondering if you two can help Harley in retrieving these doctors for me. I knew Harley for a long time and if there's one word I can describe her. It's clumsy... or ditsy. Either one." Joker stated.
"Whaddaya mean she clumsy? She seems fine to me." Junkrat questioned.
"Trust me on this one. She makes simple mistakes that sometimes jeopardize the entire crime. She can barely take a punch. One punch to the stomach is all it takes for that woman to stay down." Joker cocked his head to the side. "And there are the times when my men can't really protect her."
"And wot does that have to do with us?"Junkrat asked
"For christ sake." Joker mumbled. He then turned to Jamison. "What does that have to do with you? Well you two know how to fight. I've heard my men talk about you two while you were off strolling with Harley. I have to say I'm pretty impressed." Joker praised. "You two managed to take care of Penguin's bamboozle's without breaking a sweat."
"Well Hog did do all the killing that time." Junkrat muttered, he heard the distant sound of Harley's voice calling out names that he assumed will be going with her to the church with her.
"And for the big guy. Porkchop was it?" Joker asked
Roadhog let out an angry growl at the clown.
"Ehhehe, his code name is Roadhog actually." Junkrat corrected him. He knew how much Roadhog hated people comparing him to a pig and when they do he does get ticked off about it. To those that actually pissed him off with pig references, well, things don't get pretty for either side.
"Same thing." Joker shrugged it off before he resumed what he was gonna say about Roadhog. He didn't even noticed the death glare the giant has been giving him. "I bet you can take on some of the toughest criminals here in Arkham as well. Hell I bet you can give Bane and Croc a run for there money." Joker laughed at this.
"Who?" Junkrat looked at the clown with a questionable gaze.
Joker frowned as he shook his head. "Never mind. I would've thought you two might've get it but it seems like you didn't. Oh, and it was pretty funny until you killed it."
Junkrat ignored what Joker said not even caring if it was an insult or not. "Hey, wait one second. If we're going to be helping to do your dirty work. Wot are we gonna get from it in return?"
Joker perked up a bit at this. "Well, I don't know. You tell me. Name what you want and I'll be sure to meet your expectations."
Jamison started to rub his chin in thought. "Well, we do need a place to stay at the moment. Plus we don't even know our way around this city yet."
"Well I can allow you to stay at the steel mill for a while. Maybe I can also help fill you in on the details on this city. Or I can get Harley to do it. Maybe a map? I think I have one somewhere if I can find it." Joker quickly offered.
"I guess that could work. Ain't that roight hog?" Junkrat looked toward his companion.
Roadhog nodded his head in silence.
"That's great so that means you two will do it." Joker smiled happily. "Just remember, what's important is that I need you two to help retrieve the doctors I want from that church while keeping Harley safe. I don't care if she gets hurt just make sure she doesn't get killed."
"Don't worry Joker. You can count on us!" Junkrat gave a thumbs up.
Just then Harley re-entered the office. "I'll be taking my leave sweetie. The boys I requested to tag along with me are waiting for by the gates."
"Oh, Harley. You're back. Good timing" Joker gave her his attention. "I'm having Porkchop and Junkboy here help assist you on this little scheme I'm sending you on.'
Junkrat took offense to that little nickname while Roadhog tried to calm himself from ripping Joker's head off.
"Eh? B-But wh-"
"There's no time to dilly dally on this subject Har. Just do as I say. Now I want all three of you out. The sooner you get this done the faster I can get what I need in order to get better." Joker started to push the three towards the exit of his office. "Oh and Harley-dear, try not to mess this up. I'm counting on these to help assist you on whatever you need while keeping you in check." As soon as the three were pushed out of the office, Joker smiled at them. "Tata!" He then slam the door shut, leaving behind a very confused Harley.
The three stood there quietly for a few seconds.
"Welp, that was interesting." Junkrat broke the silence. He was suddenly smacked behind his head. "Ow!" He turned his head and sent a tearful glare towards Roadhog. "Wot was that for?"
Roadhog remained silent for he wasn't much of a talker.
"So..." Harley's voice caught their attention, looking at her the two saw that she was staring at them in a questioning gaze with both hands on her hips. "Are you two like reinforcements or my bodyguards?"
Roadhog and Junkrat looked at each other for a brief second before looking back at Harley.
"Both." The two simultaneously replied.
"Eh, Well you don't see me complaining." She turned her back towards them before looking over her shoulder and motioned for the two to follow. "Come on, the men I assembled should be at the gates by now. I don't wanna keep my boys waiting any longer."
As she was walking away, Roadhog looked at his colleague questioning whether what they were doing will help them later on.
"I don't know hog. We can't tell for sure yet. But that doesn't mean I'm not wary about Joker either. After all..." Junkrat narrowed his eyes a bit. "He's a suit."
With that said, Junkrat walked off in order to catch up with Harley leaving Roadhog to himself.
As Roadhog watched Junkrat go, he heard the sound of a toyish laughter with clattering under his feet. Looking towards the ground, Roadhog saw what seemed to be a wound up jaw chattering all over the place as it let out this Joker-like laugh. Picking it up, Roadhog looked at the jaw for a moment before looking back towards the door that led into Joker's office. With one swift motion, Roadhog crushed the jaw within his grasp before allowing it to fall on the ground. A moment later he turned and started to walk away from the Clown Prince of Crime's office in order to catch up with his comrade.
"Where the hell is Harley dammit. I'm freezing my ass off over here." One of Joker's goons stated.
"I told you to wear warm clothing didn't I? But no, Rob knows everything." Another one of Joker's men mimicked. "Next time think twice before you think wearing something bad ass is much more necessary rather than keeping your body warm."
"Fuck off man." The goon freezing his ass off rubbed his hands together before breathing into them. He then gave a stressed filled sigh. "It's going to be a long night." He mumbled.
Just then they heard the sound of Harley's voice approaching them.
"Hi boys. Sorry to keep ya waiting but Joker wanted me to bring some extra manpower." She pointed a thumb towards the two Australians behind her.
"G'day mates." Junkrat greeted. He then frowned in thought. "Or is it a good noight... bah, whateva."
Roadhog stood silent as he stared at Jokers men. However, he did witness a few familiar faces in this group. Looking at Junkrat, he noticed that his bud recognized a few guys as well.
"Eric? Is that you mate?" Junkrat questioned.
"It's Derek actually." The now named Derek said.
"Oh, mah bad then." Junkrat then caught site of his crew. "I see you brought your group along with ya." He then looked at the faces he doesn't recognize. "As well as some new individuals."
"Who are these two?" An unfamiliar Joker goon stated.
"Oh, these guys. They're just-"
"Like I said earlier, they're reinforcements." Harley interrupted. "Jesus, I'm surrounded by idiots." She placed a hand on her forehead clearly annoyed.
"Heh, way to go on pissing off Harley dumbass." Derek muttered towards the goon.
"Shut up."
Anything they were about to say next was interrupted by the Clown Prince's Girlfriend.
"If you two are done yapping your mouths over there I suggest you start moving!" Harley then turned and started to walk towards the city soon followed by the two Junkers and the rest of the group.
Church/Medical Center in Arkham City, Industrial District
A team of GCPD officers were seen talking amongst each other as other fellow officers were being treated by various doctors in different rooms either by bullet wounds or other wounds that can be lethal.
However there was one that stood out among the rest, this man was leaning against one of the pillars within the church as stared at the ground with his assault rifle by his hip and by the looks of it, he seems frightened, unbelievably frightened. Sweat was pouring down his face as his hands started to shake in absolute fear. But what was the cause of this fear?
Just then a hand grabbed his shoulder snapping him back to reality.
"Cash? You alright man?" A fellow officer said.
The now named Cash stood there for a moment before responding. "Yeah, Yeah I'll be alright."
"You still have that fear of yours against Croc, huh?"
"... I don't wanna talk about it."
Aaron Cash was one of the most respected security guards in the Asylum who was fearless of any inmate inside. That is until Killer Croc severely wounded him during a riot in the Asylum that nearly cost him his life.
"Hey, that's fine by me. Just don't get yourself too riled up over something that happened back at the Asylum. You're in charge of this squad after all and we can't have our captain go insane anytime soon while we're in here."
"Ha, don't worry. I'll toughen it out." Aaron gave a small smirk. "I always do."
Just then a wall unexpectedly exploded by the front entrance sending rubbles of stone flying everywhere. Cash and the GCPD officers who were in the condition to fight immediately brought there weapons up high as they stood in a cautious stance staring at the breached wall.
"You know we could have went through the front entrance!" Cash heard a familiar voice from the Asylum.
"Yeah, but you have to admit, blowing your way in is just much more satisfying." Now this one was a voice he did not recognize at all.
"Yeah, you're right. It does feel more satisfying."
Just then they heard footsteps walking towards them until it stopped by the wall. Cash narrowed her eyes as he recognized the woman staring at them with Joker's men behind her as well as two men he hasn't seen before.
"Harley Quinn." Aaron muttered under his breath.
"Hiya boys. Long time no see from the Asylum." Harley smiled as she eyed the officers in front of her. "You know I would love to stay and chat right now. But ya see, Mistah J is not feeling himself right now. That's why I need a few of your doctors to come with me so they can make him feel better. So whaddaya say?"
Seeing that none of them were answering, Harley frowned before taking matters into her own hands. "Hmm, I was afraid this would have come to this. Oh well. Get 'em boys."
Junkrat smiled as he let out a quiet laugh before bringing up his frag launcher while Roadhog stood beside him grasping his hook in his hand. "Oh this is gonna be fun."
And done.
Love it? Hate it? Leave a review down below.
I know this chapter ain't much. A little shorter than the previous chapter but at least it's something. Looks like the main story will be starting next chapter and hopefully Batman will appear as well.
Feedback will be great as well.
By the way, I made up a few things in this chapter. Like Roadhog having a wife and kids. I think...
Anyway, thank you everybody for reading.
And as always, I will see you...
In the next chapter.
BUH-BYE
