(Emma's POV)

Hearing the garage door open sends knots into the lower part of my stomach. I haven't seen Boss for almost a month since he was busted down at Gotham park. I have been holding down the fort like a good little henchman, coming up with a way to get him out again. Luckily, we already had a man on the inside that was communicating with the Boss who in turn would send information my way. As smooth as the break out was it could have been easily prevented in the first place…

Chloe comes trampling down the stairs with Boss not far behind. She had a suitcase in her hand and it took all of my strength not to jump up and do a dance right there! Boss looked furious, to anyone who didn't truly know him he would have looked amused but the heat of anger washing off of him was evident to me. She makes her way towards the garage door and stops in her tracks, realizing something.

"What is it? Forget you don't have a way out?" Joker was taunting her, pissed. Again, it took me a lot not to laugh along with him but that was a sure-fire way to get myself hurt. His smile was wide – cruel even – as she passes him by without even flinching and heads towards the front door instead.

"Ok, I'll walk." She proclaims, calmly, how is he not affecting her? If it were anyone else his taunts would make them freeze in fear… what the hell is wrong with her? My annoyance of her rises in my chest and I have to push it back, keeping my face stone.

"Walk! Enjoy the 30 some mile stroll then! HA HA HA HA HA!" Jokers eyes are set on her, standing tall ready for her to cave. He knew he had just won the argument. She just stands there, staring him down as he stares her down.

"J…" She addresses him, here it goes… begging for forgiveness and hopefully he doesn't grant it. "I'm sorry." Her bottom lip starts to quiver and she quickly retreats out of the house, shutting the door behind her. What a cry baby. I close my eyes in order to hide the fact that they rolled. When I open them again a millisecond later Boss had the flat screen TV that used to be mounted onto the wall – in his hands. He thrusts it on the ground, growling as it hits and the screen shatters. He reaches for the lamp next and throws it against the wall, shattering that into tiny pieces. He continues to reach for various items, throwing them about the room while Johnny and I sit there waiting for him to calm down or orders.

"FUCKING BITCH!" He screams, running his fingers through his messy green hair, pushing it out of his eyes. "After ALL I did for her!" He continues to walk around the house, various items breaking in his wake. This was going to be a hell of a mess to clean up. The room quiets down for a bit as Boss heads upstairs. Johnny looks at me knowingly that Joker is Red and to leave him the fuck alone unless he talks to you. We both get up and start to tidy up the mess he had made, wanting to start the clean up so he doesn't get pissed we were just sitting around. We're in the middle of cleaning but stop when he stalks back into the room, still mumbling to himself, "After what I told her… Why the fuck do I feel…" He paces back and forth, now dressed with his gun holster on, never completing that last thought. What did he tell her… more so… what does he feel? My heart sinks into my lower gut. Johnny and I sit and watch as he walks over to the garage, grabbing Johnny's SUV keys from the table. "Johnny, meet me at the club tonight for the meeting." And just like that, he's gone.

I never want to see Boss like that again. He seemed so broken, hopefully Arkham has helped him clear up in mind about his ex-toy. The entrance to the garage opens and I see Panda walk in, right behind him is Joker followed closely by Chloe. I can't imagine my face looked happy in that exact moment and I straightened my face up immediately. How the hell is she with him and why did he bring her back?!

"Good to see you, Boss." I greet him politely, but he doesn't respond. Instead he walks right past me, with his hand locked onto Chloe's hand. He leads her upstairs and soon after, I hear a door open and shut. Just great. I sigh heavily while my heart clenches tightly in my chest. She doesn't deserve him… and I hope by some force she's gone, soon.

(Chloe's POV)

I haven't felt this nervous in my entire life. J paced back and forth slowly in front of me while I sat on the edge of his bed. I haven't said a word since he told me not to in the car. I feel like I'm waiting for an ultimate decision. Kill me or keep me… or worse, torture me.

He'll probably do all three, Chloe. Keep you in the basement… probably next to Thomas's body. Torture you. Eventually kill you. Oh oh! Maybe he'll bring home another girl and have her kill you in front of him… then they'll go upstairs and "SHUT UP!" I scream at my inner voice, her relentless assault on me starting to affect my sanity. My eyes shut tightly, I crush my hands down on my ears, trying to push her back away, further away. Why won't she leave me alone?!

When I open my eyes again, lowering my hands from my ears slowly, J is kneeling in front of me. He has a glass in his hands, holding it out to me as an offer. I take it, not even caring what is in the glass, I take a long drink. The burn hits my throat immediately; the warm sensation moves slowly down and settles in my stomach. I chug the rest of the liquor, emptying the glass as the burn and warmth hits me pleasantly again.

"I'm assuming Doll face; you weren't just talking to me. How long have the voices been talking to you?" His voice is low, even.

"Ever since I woke up." I answer candidly. "She won't leave me alone."

He cocks his head to the side a bit, his eyes scanning over me. "I generally ignore my voices, unless they have a better idea than I do. Which is rarely. The liquor helps." He points to the empty glass, swiftly taking it from me.

"Why did you –" He lifts up a finger, placing it to his lips "shh" me.

"Why. Why. Why." He stands, running his fingers through his hair seemingly exasperated, "Do you always have to ask questions?" He fills the empty glass again and takes a swig from the bottle when he's done. He walks back over to me and passes me the filled glass.

"Thank you." I say, to which he ignores.

"Answer my question, Chlo." He uses the nickname he gave me, making my heart swim with butterflies.

"I just need to know, it reassures me." I answer candidly again, no longer afraid to tell him how I feel. I take another generous gulp and realize quickly that I'm feeling a little dizzy. I've always been a light-weight.

"What do you want me to say that reassures you?" He grabs a chair from a desk in his room and puts it in front of where I'm sitting on the edge of his bed still. He flips the chair so it's facing the opposite way and sits on it backwards, his arms resting on the back of it. "That I planned your break out so I could take you home with me?" He takes a long drink of the unmarked bottle again and places it on the floor, to the side of him. "You confuse the fuck out of me, Doll face. I've never wanted a girl around before. Let alone for this long. You're stubborn. You argue. You backtalk. You drive me nuttier than I am already." He grabs that same bottle and throws back another long drink. I sit there, shocked at his words so far. I couldn't help but just stay silent, wanting to hear more, my cheeks warmer than usual. I'm sure I was blushing, more than just a liquor aftermath effect.

"But. But… buuuut… When I saw you being wheeled down the hallway all drugged up. I realized I couldn't let you be by yourself. It just." He takes another long drink, his voice animated but calm. This is probably the most serious I've seen him since he told me his real name. "It just feels right. You. Me. Chaotically driving each other crazy." He finishes the bottle and I take another drink as well. He said, you and me. Us.

"Chlo." He barely whispers my name, locking eyes with me. Electricity pulses between us. The heat is pulling, a raw need forming between us. If this is his declaration that he cares for me, I'll take it. My heart swimming with overwhelming emotions. "Just stop asking questions." His breathing is heavier, his eyes filled with desire and need. I nod, agreeing with him. My dreams are before me. He wants me, he's making it clear that he wants me in his life… perhaps just as much as I want to be next to him.

He stands up, taking the chair back to the desk. "I have to catch up on what's been going on with my establishments. Take a shower and then sleep Chlo." He walks back, kneeling again in front of me. "One. More. Thing." His voice serious set still, deep and precise. He grabs my chin firmly, forcing my head so that my eyes stare directly into his icy blues. "No. Kids. Ever." He stands after that, leaving me no room to agree or argue, the door shutting behind him as he leaves me with my thoughts. So many emotions fill my entire body with the continuous warm fuzz I have due to the drinking. I don't want to deal with them right now. From what I gather from his talk, he wants to share his chaos with me, he wants me around, but he will never want a child. At this point, I don't even know if I want one after what happened to the last. My heart clenches sickly, my stomach lurching at the thought of what Batman did. Rage makes an appearance, my hands starting to shake, I head towards J's liquor cabinet and take out a bottle of scotch. I take a long swig, the burn of this one a little worse while it coats my stomach warmly. My rage slowly calming I decide to do as I'm told. I head to the bathroom to take a hot shower. Washing away all of the stench and sick feeling Arkham painted on me. After I get out, I dry myself off and head to the closet. Realizing I packed all of my clothes in the suitcase before I left … I have nothing to wear. I shuffle through his dresser drawers, putting on a pair of his boxers I head back to the bedroom, not bothering to put on a top. I lay in J's warm silk bed, his smell dulled since he hasn't been in it for a while, snuggling up to one of his pillows I quickly fall asleep.

Hello Lovelies!

I hope that you all liked Chapter 4! Please leave me a review and let me know what you thought? What you liked? What you think might be coming? They mean so much to me and encourage me =)

To my Reviewers:

iquinn18 :: Wow thank you so much for the detailed review and pointing me towards other Joker material! I've read a couple of those but will try to find the other ones too! I love Joker, he is seriously a weird obsession of mine.. to the point where my family questions my sanity lol. I'm happy you love the Chloe/Joker pairing, it means a lot you enjoy my writing! I try my best to keep Joker in character as best I can, of course there isn't much to go off of with a real relationship besides Harley Quinn (Love her, btw). So I have to kind of wing the romanticized part of it, but I love how obsessed he can be and I try to keep it real. I love the Riddler and am tempted to do another fanfiction focusing on him, but I'm focusing on this first. She will have more interactions with other villains, I promise! Your questions answered. I have referenced Joker killing Robin in my The Queen of Hearts story, so yes it does follow Death in the Family. The Killing Joke, we'll have to wait and see =) .. Chloe is already super possessive, she just hasn't had the worry yet because she hasn't seen him interact with another females truly except Emma and thus far Emma is her own worst enemy. So it could or could not happen, we'll have to see. Yes she will interact with other villains, which ones, you'll have to see. Sorry that seems to be my answer? I don't want to give away too much! =D I'm so happy you love my story and I hope you continue to do so! Thank you again for the review, the support means the world to me! I hope you loved Chapter 4, let me know what you thought? =) Take care!
