Author's note: thank you to everyone who actually took their time to read this! I have a few more chapters lined up! xA
Damn you Frost why did you have to know I was there?! The snowman thing was a joke because one time he went to get me and it was snowing! Snow and Frost equals a snowman joke.
- Why was I taken from my lovely home and my really warm cup of tea at *looks at watch* 10:26 pm when I have classes in the morning?
- Bossed asked to get you
- He knew where I was?
- Yes
- All this time?
Frost nods.
- That's great!
- I'll admit that I missed your sarcasm! C'mon lets go.
- Aw no shining car this time? Sad!
I got into the backseat of the car while Frost was driving.
- Where are we going this time ?
- The hideout
- Do you know why he asked for me?
- Not really.
- Okay, just get there fast please because I have stuff to do at home.
Frost smiled. I have a dark sense of humour and everyone knew that. He drove the car for about 20 minutes until we got to this warehouse and yes, it was as creepy as it sounds. Some goons opened the gate and we got in.
The joker's hideouts were always incredibly spooky on the outside but classy on the inside. Frost opened the door for me and I got some 'who the hell is she' looks on the way to the office but to be honest I never actually cared. This was bigger than it looked! As we got to the door I could hear a high-pitched voice, which I assumed it was Harley's, so I knocked on the door 3 times as I usually do.
. Come in.
As I got in J was sitting in his office chair and Harley was sitting on the couch playing on her phone but she got up to stand behind J.
- Puddin who's this?
- A good old friend.
- Go call one of your goons old, you idiot.
- Hey!
Harley seemed insulted at the fact I called J an idiot
- Now now Harley, this one can call me that
- Who is she exactly?
- A friend. Now if you excuse us we have some matters to discuss.
Harley looked at me like I was a monster
- We've met before actually, you might not remember but I knew you as Harleen Quinzel at Arkham when I went to visit J.
- I don't and im glad I don't because I don't like you
- Harley go play with the hyenas or something but leave us alone please
- Alright Mr. J
Obviously she wasn't too happy about leaving J alone with another woman.
- Honestly J, its past 11 and I was cozy at home with a cup of tea! Why am I here?
- Pure peppermint?
- My tea taste hasn't changed.
- Glad to hear you haven't changed that much.
I sat on the chair in front of his desk with my feet up and he smiled, not that smile that makes everyone scared out of their minds but a calm one.
- Why am I here J?
- Two reasons: One I missed the normal and two: I want you to work for me
- One: aw cute, two hell no J
- What? Why?
- Because, as you put it, I'm normal. I don't want to get killed by working for you.
- What if you work from home or something? Look, my plans have gotten sloppy and I almost got caught again by Batman, sometimes you need someone to keep your feet on the ground.
- I'll think about it but I can't make any promises. I was fine without you knowing where I was!
- You've known me for all these years and you still think I didn't know where you were this entire time?
- Tell me you didn't put a goon following me 24/7!
- I won't tell you then.
- Damn it J! Normal my ass!
- Yes, it is!
- Not what I meant and so not funny.
- It was quite funny actually. I'm so funny… sometimes.
- J you know we agreed on not contacting eachother since that talk
- I know but I'm King of Gotham and I need a lawyer.
- You need one or you just want me to work for you ?
- A bit of the first but mainly the second.
- You haven't changed at all, have you?
- No, not really.
- Are you happy with her?
- Usually yes.
- I won't push that conversation for now because I assume she's eavesdropping and this is a private talk
- And how's your love life?
- I'm married to justice
- Remember the fact I've had eyes on you
- So you know it all, I don't have anything else to say on that matter
- True but no reason why we can't have a little bit of fun getting revenge on that bastard! What was his name again?
- Matt and no. You won't do that. I can handle my own businesses thank you very much and now, if you have nothing else to say I would very much like to go home. Please?
Joker presses a number on his phone
- Frost, get the car, we're taking Jackie home.
Joker got up from his chair and got around the desk and opened a drawer that was initially behind me to take out a picture frame
- I keep it around to remind me not everything is out of my control, as in I cannot control you but know you're still normal.
- This is from my birthday a few years ago! You couldn't have chosen a better picture could you?
- I actually like this one, I looked good and you didn't!
- Fair enough. Can we finish this trip down memory lane? I'm loving this but it's late and I need some sleep.
- Of course. *he opens the office door and yells* I'll be back later!
We made small talk along the way until the car, he opened the door for me, he might be insane but still knows how to be a gentleman. We got to my apartment, he asked me if he could come upstairs out of pure curiosity and I told him it was better if he wouldn't because no one knew I knew him. He hands me a phone.
- As you know you can't call me from your regular phone so this one has my number and Frost's just in case, give me a call when you think about my offer okay?
- Yes J.
- Night idiot
- Goodnight jackass.
I smiled and got on the elevator, when I opened my apartment door Jen was sitting in the kitchen looking worried
- You're alive!
- Of course I am, just in case anything happens from now on you know what to do!
- Where did you go?
- To see an old friend
- Are you gonna tell me who?
- I'm not. But rest assure I'm safe. I'm going to bed now 'kay?
- Sure, night!
- Night!
I entered my bedroom and got into bed when it hit me like a ton of bricks that I didn't have much of a choice.
