See no Evil /7/
Can't feel pain?
Can't feel pain.
cAn't fEEL paIN?!
What kind of creature can't feel pain? What the hell is that supposed to be??!??!?!
At least
that explains why she would dare cross paths with a sharp object.
Right, she can't hurt so there's no damage. People don't just act
nobly, they don't. They don't.
Then again… she must have known
that it would be harmful to her, even if not the physical pain…
"What are you gonna do now, Joker boy? Threaten to hurt my mommy and daddy?"
Who the *BLEEP* does this girl think she is, talking to him like that?!!!
Not funny. Not at all.
"Well guess what, I don't have a family, momma is dead and buried."
Okay, so she's nuts. That explains everything.
"Do you hear me? You have nothing to threaten me with, nothing. I don't care if you kill me and there is no one on earth that I love for you to use against me."
"Are you… what's the word… 'tripping'?"
Riley's POV
I couldn't help but giggle a bit.
Here I am, facing the friggin' Joker, in the flesh, I'm screaming at him and he thinks I'm crazy.
You really must laugh at the irony.
"Now you listen, missy…"
"I am not afraid of you."
At this point I really wasn't. Like I said- what's the worst he can do? Hit me? Cut me?
Ha-Ha.
Clearly, this man is all about power, control. He uses whatever cards he has to obtain whatever goal he wants. He sees through people, I'll give him credit for that. He read them, knows exactly how to toy with them until they break.
"And people say I'm crazy." He said, lightening up a bit, which is, in his case, often cause for concern.
"You're not, crazy that is."
He looked at me as though I suddenly grew horns.
"I mean… the things I heard you say, all true."
I paused for a moment, but I clearly had his interest.
"I don't get why you bother so much, but I guess if that's how you get your kicks… I don't condone it, but I agree that life is meaningless, people are prawn to selfishness, it's nothing new."
And that's the honest to Christ truth. Like I said, I don't like to see others hurt and I don't get his sadism, but the man has a valid point.
I didn't receive any response, not a verbal one anyway. Instead he just turned away and left the room shutting the door behind him.
Looking at my wound, I can see the end is near. Not very near, but without proper care it will soon be infected, I'll run a fever which I won't notice at all and then I'll die, eventually.
See, no big deal.
Author's POV
Now more then ever, Joker was curious about his new… companion. Everything about her is interesting- her affliction, her words, her actions.
He had never before met anyone like her. Someone he couldn't… stir.
It's like trying to receive a reaction from a rock.
Whoever this chick is, she got one thing right- he had no leverage with her.
And he could tell she wasn't lying. Well that, or she's a total sociopath.
Do not be mistaken though, Joker had no intention of simply releasing her or anything, absolutely not. She is way too interesting her, because finding a different way to destroy her, corrupt her soul will be a bigger challenge. So much more fun.
Kind of like Batsy.
There has to be another way to get to her, to Riley.
Riley, Rye-Rye, Riley.
Bend her, twist her, break her.
Yes, yes of course there is.
So much fun…
