Syona waited in the dark purple convertible her dad was letting her drive….well, Mr. Penguin has to drive. She didn't have her license yet.
"My apologies for taking so long." She looked to the driver's side to see her bodyguard guiding himself into the seat.
"Don't talk so formal. It annoys me when people do that." He pushed on the brake and changed the handle from 'P' to 'D'. The motor roared lightly and they were off.
"Did my dad look mad in there?"
"He did. Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Yes. Before we left, I begged him to give me some money to shop. When he took out his wallet, I played the 'look behind you' game and he fell for it. So I stole his wallet when he wasn't looking."
"Wow, what a little thief you are."
"Yup. Now let's go to Gotham Mall. We can get some food there and some shopping."
"You're the boss." He drove what the speed limit said. He was so different from her dad. She was actually able to sit back and enjoy the ride. And she didn't ruin the car seats this time.
They drove in utter silence, which was something she didn't really enjoy. So she decided to start up a conversation.
"Uh…."
"Your father told me the main reason he wanted you to get a bodyguard was because the Joker seems to be after you."
"Whoa, that's an interesting subject to talk about."
"I'm just very curious."
"Hm, it's actually pretty interesting. I finally get a guy to chase after me and it happens to be one who is a little psycho."
"What makes him attached to you?"
"The first day I came, my dad took me to the police station to get a paternity test done. I wandered off and into the place where all the bad guys are kept. He was the only one that seemed to be quiet. So….I don't really remember what happened after that. I just can't seem to get away from him."
"You don't have to worry about running into him or any other creep when I'm around."
"Yay! I can finally relax then."
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Boss, the van's all packed and ready."
'I'm getting very, un, tired of hearing that guy's voice.' Joker stood up from his desk where all the cameras were at. He went to the mirror that happened to be cracked and checked his appearance.
He ruffled up his messy green hair to make it look….well, even messier. But that's just the way he likes it. He popped up his collar and straitened up his 'tie'. Which was funny cause he wasn't even wearing one.
"How's my breath?" He huffed into his hand to smell his breath. He could never tell if it stunk or not. If it did, he wouldn't do anything anyway. "Decent."
He came out of his room and passed by all of his lackeys. They all pulled down their masks before following him out.
One by one, they each entered the big family size van. Joker was in the passenger side, mostly because he didn't feel like driving. He had one of his main lackeys drive the car.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Penguin had just received his orders from the Joker over his phone. The Joker ordered him to have Syona inside the lingerie store in an hour. How the heck was he gonna tell her to try on lingerie?
"What are we going to do first?" He had to waste some time. Thankfully, the first twenty minutes will be spent eating in the food court, which is where they were sitting right now.
"Well, first I want to lose that group of boys that keeps staring at me." She pointed to her right. There were four guys, all wearing some kind of uniform from a school she wasn't familiar with.
"Basketball jocks. Trying to impress you. One is even twirling his basketball on his finger." She chuckled at how the jocks were acting like losers. "Want me to intimidate them?"
"No. I've dealt with them. Watch this, one of them is going to come up and introduce himself to me. Then he's gonna say a lame pick-up line. And after that, he's gonna invite me on a date at an amusement park and Chile dogs." Right when she was done explaining it, one of the jocks stood from the table and walked over to hers.
"Hi. I'm Bob." Bob stood about 6'5. So it only made sense that he was a basketball player. He had very pale white skin, natural. A shaved head, it looked like the hair would have been blond. And some light green eyes.
"Hello."
"I wanted to ask you. Did it hurt?" She already knew what this was leading to, but she went along with it anyway.
"Did what hurt?" She felt so stupid for actually going along with it.
"When you fell from heaven." He smiled at her at the end of the sentence.
"Oh, hahaha."
"Well, anyway, I was wondering if you would be interested in coming with me to the Gotham amusement park. And we can chow down on some hot dogs." Syona rolled her eyes. How was she going to let this guy down?
"Sorry, but no." Mr. Penguin held in his laugh.
"But why?" She could tell Bob wasn't the type of guy to leave this issue alone.
"Well first off, you didn't give me a chance to introduce myself."
"You're Syona Malfin, Bruce Wayne's daughter. Everybody knows who you are."
"That's the thing. You must want to go out with me because I'm related to Gotham's richest man. Honey, I ain't no ATM machine. So hasta la vista." Mr. Penguin watched as the boy went back to his table and all the others guys were booing at him for not getting the date.
"A little harsh, don't you think?"
"Yeah, it was. But I was right. Wasn't I?"
"No. You said Chile dogs. He said Hot dogs. Big difference." She laughed. She had to admit, this bodyguard of hers was pretty cool.
"I have to go to the bathroom really quick. Then we can start shopping." She stood up from their table and head towards the bathroom. When she was out of sight, Mr. Penguin checked his watch.
All of that made about 45 minutes pass by, pretty good timing. The lingerie store is all the way on the other side of the mall. A good ten minute walk. He'll have her there just in time. What to tell her though?
"I'm back. Let's start." He looked up to see her standing right there in front of her.
"Uh…hey Syona, does your father ever let you try on lingerie? I know that many teenage girls love that kind of stuff but their fathers never let them."
"Are you telling me to go against my father?" She exaggerated a gasp.
"Uh…are you still going to do it?"
"Of course I'm gonna do it. I've always wanted to try on some lingerie."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Joker has finally arrived at the mall. He was half asleep by then. His lackey had decided to drive the speed limit. There's a reason why he never does that; if he did, he'd be asleep at the wheel. He needs the speed.
They all opened their car doors and jumped out. Joker walked ahead of the group and reached for his gun in his pocket.
He entered the food court; it was lunch time, so a majority of people were right there. He pointed his gun to the ceiling and fired. Everybody stopped whatever they were doing and looked towards the entrance.
"I, uh, have an announcement to make. For those who want to hear please stay. For those who don't, get out now." He fired his gun again. He didn't have to do it a third time, everybody in the food court pushed right past the Joker and his gang to get out through the entrance.
"What if the announcement had been good? I probably would have said, uh, that I give myself up and let them tie me up. People are so impatient." He laughed.
"Yo boss, what about the other people in the mall?" There were still a lot of people in the mall, just walking about not noticing the gun shot. He figured they were all deaf.
"They're not in my way. Well, neither were these people but…" He made a clicking noise with his tongue. "I just wanted to fire something."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syona stepped into the lingerie store. Mr. Penguin was fidgeting a little. He had to admit, standing inside this store is a little….well, he wasn't that comfortable. But orders are orders.
"Try on whatever. I'll wait over here." He took a seat at the front of the store and watch as she walked over to the wall were most of the displays were. She picked one out and walked over to the dressing rooms.
Right when she did that, the Joker waltzed into the store. He noticed that Mr. Penguin was to his left.
"She in there?"
"Yeah."
"Did you see what she picked out?"
"I tried not to look." Joker shrugged his shoulders before walking past the cash register, which was on the way towards the dressing rooms. He looked at the girls who were frozen in shock.
"Not a word-a." He pointed the gun at them to emphasize the threat. They nodded at him. He continued to walk towards the dressing rooms. The room was very bright. Too bright for his taste.
The room's doors only didn't reach down to the floor, so he could see if anybody was in the room or not. He noticed that there was only one room occupied. So he figured that's where Syona is.
He silently walked over to the front of the door. In one swift moment, he kicked the door open, breaking the handle.
Indeed, there stood Syona. She turned around and stood face to face with the Joker. She covered her body as best as she could; but he could still see everything.
He finally knew what she choose out on the display. A black and purple laced bra with matching panties. It all matched so well with her beautiful purple eyes.
"Hello there, beautiful."
