Hey guys! I'd like to thank you again for reading my story. This chapter will be a lot about the henchmen. The names of the rest, apart from Cooper and Clayton, will be the name of their costumes. I just thought it be easier to keep track of them for me and the readers, instead of just having a bunch of names for each one. Here is chapter 4 –Katmeroo

"We did WHAT?!" Panne looked at Jonny, her eyes wide. The taller man laughed as he prepared the guns before dumping them in a duffle bag. "Seriously Jonny, you are messing with me." She was helping Jonny with the guns.

"I wish I was kidding honestly… I mean I know what I saw, and you don't remember anything so you'll just have to accept it."

She was so frustrated, how she could let herself get so wasted as to almost have sex with the Joker in front of everyone.

Cooper entered the arsenal "The signal was tracked all the way to one of Falcone's hideouts. We managed to lock on it before it died. They probably busted his phone."

Jonny nodded at the man "Catch!" he threw one of the rifles at Cooper, catching it effortlessly.

Eyeball walked in "Yo, when are we leaving?"

"Everyone's ready? Costumes and all?"

The Eyeball nodded "Here's your mask" he handed Jonny a cartoon Batman mask. He would only wear it in special occasions, since he wasn't really fond of getting in costume.

"Can I have a costume?" Panne asked the men in front of her.

"What are you talking about? You are not coming with us." Jonny told her off.

"You ain't my dad, Jonny. I'll go with or without costume and you can't stop me." He rolled his eyes at her and let out an annoyed grunt.

"Listen lassy, can you shoot?" Clayton, beer in hand, asked getting in between her and Jonny.

"Well, I'm no Deadshot but I can hit my targets." She smiled.

Clayton turned to face Jonny, his eyebrows raised "Come on lad, we need everyone we can get. This ain't no walk in tha' park."

Clayton was right, this was no petty mission. This was war. Jonny stayed quiet for a moment, but then nodded "Alright fine."

Panne did little bounces as she rapidly clapped joyfully. "Yaaay!" Why was she so excited?

"Well, do I get a costume or not?" hands on each side of her hips. All the men in the room exchanged glances

"What was your name again? Panda, right?" Jonny smiled. Oh boy.


2:00 am…

"You are a plague!" Falcone spat at Joker's face who was chained down to a chair.

"Good to see you too, my friend." He let out a low chuckle. His throat felt so dry and his head pounded continuously. Fragments of this morning's event swarmed his mind. He was beyond mad, he was furious. He had been tortured for hours now. How could he let himself get kidnapped so easily? Where were his blasted men when he actually needed them for once? Those scum, he swore he'd kill every single one of them when he got out.

"You messed with the wrong people, Clown." The Joker smiled at him, looking straight in the eye, not saying a word.

Falcone continued "I'll do what the Bat failed to do countless times…"

The Joker interrupted him "Bla bla bla...why is it every time you open your mouth makes me nauseous? Ya see, so much shit comes out of it and it makes me feel sick… By the way how's your finger?" he laughed and then received a punch across the face by a thug that was standing next to Falcone. Joker spat blood at Falcone, staining his dark grey suit. The thug punched him once again, this time in his stomach. The Joker gave a loud grunt but then he started laughing yet again. It was like a defense mechanism, whenever he felt "pain" he would automatically laugh.

"Take him to the tank, I can't stand the sight of him anymore." Falcone told his men in the dark room, as he made his way out.

"What would young Sofia think?" The Joker managed to say between laughs right before Falcone was about to leave. He froze on his tracks and slowly turned around. Sofia, was his only daughter. Falcone glared at the Clown "What are you blabbing about?"

Joker's smile dissipated slowly as he talked "Is this daddy's fault? Where is he now? Why isn't he saving me?" His pale eyes burned into Falcone's "Those will be her thoughts as my men defile her. Her thoughts when I start skinning her alive. Her thoughts when she sees me smile." He gave Falcone that horrid bloody grin. Falcone didn't say anything, he turned and closed the door behind him. He swallowed down his itchy throat, drawing out a cloth from his pocket to dry his face with it. He was drenched in his own sweat. The Joker truly terrified him to no end, not that he would ever admit it. But this was his only chance of getting rid of this threat to his business, to Gotham…to his family.

/4:35 am

They were all inside a black van. Cooper was driving with Clayton as the passenger, while Panne, Jonny, Eyeball, Goat man, Crybaby, Spike head, Colossal Titan and Medic man, where all in the back. Panne had her hair tied in two messy buns in each side, the black band-aid still on her nose. She was pouting with her arms crossed, glaring at her friend. Jonny who was sitting across from her couldn't help but chuckle at her expression.

"Didn't you want a costume, Panda?" He asked, his voice loud due to the music coming from the van's speakers.

"Yeah but not an actual Panda mascot!" she yelled back.

Eyeball who was sitting next to her said "That suit is actually padded with bulletproof vest material, so you are more protected than most of us in here." His eyeball mask bobbling around as they took bumps in the highway.

"Yeah? Well, tell that to the previous owner of this suit" She held the Panda head on her lap.

"I actually miss that lad…even tho' he neva' payed me back" Clayton spoke out.

"Shut yer pipe hole, Clay." Cooper said as he turned up the music louder.

"Guess who's back, back again. Shady's back, tell a friend. Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back(x2)"

"Cooper turn down that damn music this instant!" Jonny smacked the back of Cooper's head.

"But I like it!...geez, fine." He grunted as he turned it off and punched Clayton's arm when he noticed he was laughing.

"Hey! What was that for?! Yeh cunt."

"Can all of you just SHUT UP?!" Frost shouted, annoyed to his core. "Can't you guys take something seriously for one fucking minute?" Everyone in the van was silent "Haven't you all realized how serious this situation is? The Joker, our Boss, got kidnapped by Carmine Falcone's mafia. Do we really want Joker's reputation to be dirtied up because we couldn't do our job the way it was supposed to?" He stared at the men around him.

"Do you all want other crime bosses laughing at how pathetic we look?" He waited for someone to speak.

"…Only the Joker gets to do that…" The Medic man said, Crybaby following "Yeah, he pays us good too" Spikehead nodded "He'll be happy to see us come to his rescue, right Jonny?" Jonny didn't respond to the man sitting next to him.

"I hope we are not too late…" Panne spoke softly while she stroke her Panda head, as if it were a pet.

"We won't be! We are almost there, mates! Get yer arses ready!" Cooper shouted so they could hear him in the back as they got closer to their destination. "Let's do this." They started strapping on their holsters and grabbing their weapons. The music got turned up again.

"Now this looks like a job for me so everybody just follow me.

'Cause we need a little controversy, 'cause it feels so empty without me. (x2)"


The Joker was getting dragged by two large men on each side, a bag over his head. His hands were tied against his back, but he had sneaked in between them a very small blade. Discreetly cutting the rope without the thugs noticing. He felt they went up quite a few steps right before they stopped to remove the bag on his head. His hands already freed, he lashed out at one of the men slicing his throat with the blade. They were physically stronger so he had to make it quick but the other remaining man grabbed him by the back of his shirt and pushed him forward without warning, falling for what seemed to be an 8 feet fall. He landed hard on his back, letting out a loud grunt.

He had been thrown into what seemed to be a giant glassed tube. "Say hi to the Devil for me" The thug said from above as he closed the steel lid. Making a hiss as it completely sealed, leaving Joker in complete darkness.

He scoffed "Jokes on you…I am the Devil." Obscurity surrounded him as he walked around in circles, running his hand across the glass that trapped him.

"Do you like your grave?" Falcone's voice was heard as the lights turned on around him. Joker saw he had his hands on a lever in the wall. Joker did a low snarl, scowling at the man. He looked around in search of his blade just to see it had fallen right outside the glass tank. "Where the fuck are my men? They should be here by now! I swear when I see them I'll put a bullet in every single one." Angry thoughts filled his head. If looks could kill, Falcone would be choking this very moment. "I'll be sure to have my boys put you in a gift box for the Batman."

The Joker laughed "Awww, how thoughtful!" He placed his hand on his chest feigning he was touched by his words.

"This will be the end of that stupid laugh." Falcone lowered the lever and cold water started to immediately fill up the tank. Joker's feet were completely bare, he stomped on the water making little splashes.

"Ohh! a kiddie pool? Really? I expected so much more from you." He mocked the older man.

Falcone stood in front of the Joker, an arrogant smile on his lips as the glass kept their distance "You never stop joking do you?"

"Life's a joke, Falky boy." The water was already up to Joker's chest, as he came to this realization he gave Falcone the smile.

A red alarm suddenly went off in the building, gun fire heard in the distance "What the hell is going on?!" Falcone yelled furiously as one of his men approached him

"Sir, we must leave! We are being attacked!" He looked back at the clown who was cracking up. Laughing hard as the water filled the tank completely. He took a deep breath and submerged himself before the water took all the space that was left. He was staring with an amused look as he saw everyone run in different directions.

The Joker was going to have SO much fun with Falcone after he got out of that blasted tank. So many different ways of painful torture came to his mind. They were hilarious and he couldn't contain his laughter as he floated in the water. Trying to keep his breath wasn't so easy when he had the giggles. Falcone's desperate look on his face did it for him. He opened his mouth to have a laugh but swallowed water instead. Then it was too late, he had already started to drown.


"Fan-fucking-tastic!" Clayton, who was wearing his black sharp teeth helmet, exclaimed as the alarms started going off.

"This is yer fault!" Cooper, who had an exact helmet only with the colors inverted, pointed at his twin brother "You weren't able to kill him before he pressed that button."

Panne, in full Panda costume, got in between the two "Can you guys stop fighting? We have to hurry up before more enemies come our way."

They were in one of the rooms that were used to torture the Joker and they were able to find the things they had taken away from him. His phone which was completely smashed, knives and gun, alongside his jewelry and other items. Jonny placed them all in a backpack the Eyeball was carrying. "Got everything, let's move!" He motioned at the gang to follow him as they ran through the halls, guns pointing forward ready to shoot anyone who got in the way.

They eventually reached the main area, where the rest of the men were waiting to open fire. The gang took cover as Jonny took off his batman mask "God, I hate this thing" He scavenged in his bag and took out a couple smoke bombs. He threw it at them making it hard for the enemy to see. "Now!" They opened fire to Falcone's men, taking them out one by one.

Panne noticed the water tank with Joker in it at the far back, she felt a knot in her stomach when she didn't see him moving "It's the Boss!" She yelled as she ran through the smoke and gun fire.

"Panne wait!" Jonny yelled behind her as he fired his assault rifle at the men. "Shit! Spike cover me!"

"I got cha, bro!" Spikehead gave him a nod as he too fired his guns. Jonny ran behind Panne to make sure nothing happen to her. When he caught up, he swiftly turned around, his weapon ready if anyone came nearby. Panne started hitting the glass with the back of her rifle.

"Damn it Jonny! Give me a hand here!"

"I think I got something that can work" He took out a little device out of his bag and placed it on the glass. He set it to a specific frequency "Move back!" They distanced themselves from the tank and in a mater of seconds the glass exploded in pieces. The water scattering everywhere across the floor, Joker's limp body sliding over the water all the way to their feet.

The gun fire was no longer heard and the smoke had dissipated. The rest of the gang made their way towards Jonny and Panne.

"Is he dead?!" Crybaby started freaking out.

Panne removed her Panda head and threw it on the ground "I took a first aids class when I was in college, maybe I can do something about it." She knelt down and pressed her hands against Joker's chest and started providing him with CPR. As she kept pounding she heard someone cock their gun.

"Stop!" The Medic man was aiming at Panne. Everyone else took out their guns and aimed back at Medic. "What the fuck Medic?!" Jonny furiously yelled at him.

"I've seen what that monster has done. I've been wanting to leave this job but he told me he'd kill my kids if I did." His gun slightly shook as his nerves got the better of him.

"He's dead finally…let him stay that way…"

"Put the gun down, lad. We'll find a way outta this." Cooper slowly made his way to Medic man "Don't get any closer or I'll shoot!"

Panne looked at Jonny "I'm running out of time here!" she yelled, feeling that the more she lingered the smaller the chance to save Joker.

Then a gun shot was fired.

Medic man fell to the ground, a bullet on the side of his head. Jonny had mercilessly fired his gun at his colleague. The other men didn't speak a word, and neither did Jonny. Panne proceeded to give Joker CPR, switching from pounding his chest to blowing air in his lungs. She did this various times, already losing some hope seeing as no reaction came from him whatsoever. Panne slowly came to stop, staring at his features. His lips were pale, the red no longer on them, skin cold and white as a porcelain. The more she looked at him, the more she realized how truly beautiful he was. She felt a sudden sadness rush through her body, making her question why exactly would she feel sad for this ruthless killer?

The henchmen started to slowly lower their heads in respect of their deceased boss. Panne suddenly did a last attempt of bringing him back.

"Panne he's gone…" Jonny reached out for her but she slapped his hand away.

"I'm not done!" She placed her lips over Joker's, blowing more air into him. Her lips lingered on his, feeling them, they were soft. "Please come on…You've made me feel important for the first time in a long time…I need you to live…please…" She pleaded in her mind.

Suddenly, amounts of water blurted onto her face. She jerked back as the Clown prince of crime was brought back to life coughing and gagging uncontrollably as more water came from his mouth. The gang clapped and cheered as Joker slowly raised himself to a sitting position. Panne couldn't contain her smile, she had done it. He was alive thanks to her. She leaned in closer and placed her hand on his shoulder "J, are you okay?" but a firm grip got a hold of her neck. He started to choke her.

"Where the fffuuuck were you?" obvious anger on his raspy voice. He then pushed her aside making her fall on her back.

"She saved your life, Boss" Jonny spoke out, his voice carefully toned so he wouldn't anger him any further. Joker stood up, dripping wet, shaking furiously.

"Why the hell do I pay you pieces of shit for?! So that I can get DRUGGED? KIDNAPPED? KILLED EVEN?!"

Everyone exchanged nervous glances at each other. The Joker wasn't one to just appreciate the work his henchmen did for him. Goatman stood forward holding up his bag where Joker's belongings were "B-boss, we brought you your things."

The Joker went and took out his holster, placing his purple customized gun in it. His favorite knives and blades went in his pockets. He noticed Colossal Titan had his golden plated assault rifle on his back "Give me that boy" Titan rapidly gave him the weapon, no questions asked. As soon as Joker grabbed a hold of it he aimed it at the party. Everybody raised their arms in unison "God damn it, Boss!"

"What is keeping me from putting a bullet in each one of you, EH?!"

Jonny looked at Panne who was standing behind the Joker, raising the butt of her rifle, ready to hit Joker unconscious. She glanced at Jonny before doing her move, but Jonny widened his eyes trying to tell her not to do it. It would be worse for them if she did something like that on the Joker. "Try to pull off something, Panda, and I'll kill your Jonny first. Now stand where I can see you!" Joker yelled at her, his eyes fixated at the men before him. She slowly walked next to Jonny, her arms raised as well.

"I should've let you die…" Panne glared at Joker, as he then broke the tension giving them a smile.

"Would you look at that? We got friends".

"Police! Don't move or we'll fire!"

"Seems today you are lucky, boys. SPLIT!" As he aimed his gun above them, they scattered behind the Joker as he started firing at a group of police men that had just entered the facility.

"Come on, move! Move! Move!" Jonny shouted as they ran towards the exit while firing their guns. Clayton threw a smoke bomb so it could ease their escape.

"They are getting away!" The police tried to follow them but it was too late. They had all dived in the van and slammed the gas as fast as they could. Driving head first towards the rising sun.

Everyone cheered as they ran away from the cops "HAHA Take that ye pigs! We did it boss!" and excited Clayton said as he took off his helmet.

"That was exciting!" Titan spoke as he stared at Panne, who was sitting next to him.

"It was. Sucks what happened to Medic man. He had children." she looked at Jonny who sat across from her, next to the Joker who actually looked like he had an exhausted look on his face. His stare fixated on a corner of the van

"What happened to the M. man?" His voice hoarse.

Jonny looked at him "He tried to stop Panne from saving you. I shot him dead." He said blankly. Joker still not looking at him, vaguely waved his hand "eh whatever, I'm sure I would've killed him eventually…" His eyes slowly made their way on Panne. He noticed she had the panda suit on and a halfhearted smile crept his face. She stared at him, not speaking a word. She still felt resented by the way he had treated them after all they went through to save him.

She closed her eyes not wanting to keep eye contact with Joker. It had been such a long night and she couldn't wait to reach their hideout and hibernate for the next few days in her room.

Clayton put some music on as they kept driving.

"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?..."
