Yeah I don't own the joker and the actual batman characters I wish but I do own some that are coming up in later chapters : D enjoy! Oh yeah there's swearing and violence ^_^
"Ugh... where am I?" I could feel a thick blanket on top of me, and a huge pain on my cheek, I felt it with my hand and some thick string was in it. I tried to tug it out but that hurt more.
I opened my eyes and I saw a metal wall that had been painted purple. I peered over the blanket and a fluffy green rug was on the floor.
Trying to recall last night, I was having some trouble, I "There was a clown and a puppet... Or was that a dream.. must have been, Barney was in it... oh yeah!" I chuckled, "The bad man, he won't hurt me anymore!"
I turned to the side and I saw two guys in another room talking. One had red in his hair and wore a SpongeBob top! It was brilliant! The other had long light brown hair and some music shirt and trousers.
I sat up and the two grown-ups walked in and smiling,
"Good morning star shine! The Earth says hello!" said the black and red man sang; I had no idea what he was on about so I just smiled.
"Don't mind him." The other man said, "He likes movies too much! He's Tear and I'm Rex by the way" he held out his hand and Tear just waved,
"Hehehe like a dinosaur?" he laughed, "cool!" I grinned and the woman from last night appeared with something.
"Whatever these too idiots have said, just ignore them" she shoved Rex and sat on the edge of the bed,
"I brought you some clothes and breakfast, once your done eating ill help you get ready and I'll take you to mister J." She stroked my stitches, "like my handiwork?"
"Urm, yes miss. But it hurts a bit."
"Ah yes I remember it well, the first stitch. Don't worry stitches" she winked, "it will go. Anyway!
It's your first lesson today mister J will be teaching you."
I was so confused, was he the purple guy?
"Sorry miss... who?" I asked the lady I couldn't remember her name, I was too tired
"Wow your polite for a four year old! But you can call me Psyche or whatever; I don't give a fuck." she sounded impressed but I wasn't so sure, she could be faking, "He is your new daddy, the joker! He is gonna to teach you EVERYTHING you need to know... He taught me you know." she smiled proudly,
"Like what?"
"Ah well, how to handle knifes and shit. I-err...I mean knives and stuff"
"Oh! It's ok! I'm used to it I'm quite grown up for my age"
"Whoa!" I think she was a bit surprised, "Ok then. Now eat! We don't have much time!" she placed a plate of buttered toast on my lap,
"Well that looks like warm bread Psyche" Tear joked,
"She can't cook at all; she's even burnt salad before!" Rex told me and I smiled the woman stood up and turned around, there was a red stained knife in her pocket, I felt a bit queasy but I gathered that from this place, I think that's quite normal.
I ate my toast and I saw a picture ona side table with a young woman and a boy, they looked quite young, just a bit older than me... hmmm.
I got out of the purple bed. I was still wearing my old clothes from last night, I felt weird sleeping in them, usually my mum used to hit me if I did that. She couldn't be bothered to iron unless I did it and she would usually burn my hands is there was a crease in it. Oh well. She's gone now.
The boys walked out and Psyche dressed me in a little green dress top and leggings 'so that I could move easily when stabbing something' she took my hand and lead me through the huge place. And too the centre of the room,
"This, my little Stitches, is your new home, welcome to the warehouse! The most feared place in Gotham"
"Wow!" It was huuuuuuge!
There were lots of doors; they all looked so interesting,
"Whoa! I hope I don't get lost" I told psyche,
"I'll give you the tour later. We have to get going!" she led me to another room which was full of knives and sketches on the walls. A man was wearing a pair of trousers a baggy white shirt and green braces. He seemed to have some scars on his face and he had a BIG smile on his face.
"Mister Jaaaayyyyyy!" Psyche called and the man came running, kissed Psyche on the cheek and gave me a big hug.
"Morning Shawnee! Sleep well?" his smile stretched all across his face,
"Uh-huh!" I grinned he lead me to a table with some sharp looking knifes, Psyche skipped with us. She was always so happy, I liked that.
"Now Shawnee, pick a knife"
"Err...ok" I grabbed a long knife witch fit in my hand perfectly,
"Nice choise" psyche and the Joker nodded in agreement
"Now you see that man over there." He lent down and pointed at a man being held upside down by his ankles wearing a very lousy batman suit and a clown mask,
"Watch and learn..." he took me over to the man and the joker took out a knife and stabbed the man straight in the gut, the man moaned as blood surrounded the knife.
"The trick is so not think about it stitches, you'll get there!" Psyche smiled and went to grab her own knife. She returned and stabbed the man in the shin. He joker laughed and turned to me.
"Your turn." He gestured to the bloody man. This was my time to prove myself, I thought. I took my knife hesitantly and stabbed him just next to the Jokers knife and I as I let go, the knife stayed put.
"Well done! A stitch there's hope for you yet! I thought that you would be too freaked out and I'd have to dispose of you. But you!" he smiled, "your brilliant!" the joker put me a bit on edge there but it was fun, I laughed and Psyche patted my head.
"Now." The Joker grinned dangerously, "Let's begin"
After a day of fighting, jumping off of parts of the warehouse, lunch, and many cuts, scrapes and bruises later. The Joker had finished with me for the day and he showed me around the warehouse.
"Here is the living room. We have a good TV but its only good for Tears films he has too many. My room is over here next too Psyche's (which was the room I woke up in) and Rex and tear share this room over here" he pointed to various rooms, all which had the same purple colour on their walls.
"And this is your room..."
It was a good sized room which had a single bed in the middle with green sheets and a dressing table – probably stolen but I didn't care- with a little wooden doll with black curly hair and a little red dress. She had red swirls on her cheeks. There was a wardrobe and a bathroom. It was the best room ever!
"Wow! Thanks Joker!" he grinned and left me alone, "night! I've got some business to attend too. Psyche and I will be back soon. "
I sat on my bed and Rex walked in, the clock on the wall showed that it was 9:30 in the evening, how the hell did I stay up for so long?
"Hey! Like your room?"
"Yeah its genius!" I yawned as I smiled at the long haired man,
"Thanks I decorated it" he sat down with me on my bed
"So you like it here? I remember my first day here. I shat myself" he smiled and I giggled, "You know, he really likes you Shawnee. He's wanted a daughter for a long time, it might sound kooky but he's such a strange guy but he's alright, he wanted someone who was less serious to work with!"
I smiled and grabbed my doll, he picked me up and tucked me into bed.
"So what are they doing tonight?"
"Ahhh!" he saw Rex outside and waved him in. "probably getting supplies from Ivy. She's great." Rex sighed,
"Hey Shawnee!" tear said cheerfully
"Urm, hi" I smiled
"If you ever want a film to watch while were out, there's a shit load In my room, I think you'll like kill Bill watch it when you get a change" he grinned
"Ha-ha ok!" sounded good, I like him!
"We'll let you sleep Shawnee, you thought today was tiring, wait until tomorrow you haven't even started on bombs" Rex said and he grabbed Tear and left,
"Night, Guys!" I said as I snuggled down into my new bed,
"Oh and Shawnee"
Tear poked his head through the door,
"If you have a nightmare or someone tries to kill you or whatever. I'm just next door, ill sort 'em out" he winked and left. I giggled, closed my eyes and thought of the epicness that I was sure to come...
Yeah I hope you liked it please review and tell me if I should continue :D xxx
