Diclaimer: I only own Lolita!
Lolita
Chapter 10: Alone
Songs:
Grace ft. G-Eazy-You Don't Own Me [mentioned]
"You don't own me," Lolita sang softly to herself, in the comfort of her cell. "I'm not just one of your many toys; you don't own me, don't say I can't go with other boys."
"Shut up, clown!" a voice hurled at her, making her flinch and slowly curl up on her thin, flimsy cot.
She'd been in Arkham for four nights and she already hated it. She'd never been away from the Joker, ever. In all of her new life, which started seven months ago, she'd never been apart from her Daddy, or Harley.
It wasn't her Daddy's fault she got taken, or Harley's. The stupid Bats had found her, in her own home, and taken her away while The Joker and Harley were out on a heist. She tried to reassure herself that her Daddy was on his way, but she knew how easy it was for him to go in and out of Arkham, and she was losing faith.
Lolita wept softly. She was terrified of everyone, here; she wasn't stupid, she knew who she was, and she knew who her Daddy was. And she didn't doubt that if he was here with her, she'd be living a decent life of luxury. But these men didn't seem to care that she was a little girl, or that she was The Joker's property. She'd already been groped four times-one of them was a guard.
She'd punched him for that. He punched back. The men here were big and bad, with no respect for her (royalty) or The Joker. She sincerely wished The Riddler hadn't broken out two days before she arrived; he was one of her least favorite of her Daddy's friends, but he wouldn't have let anyone touch her or hurt her.
"Hey," a voice broke her thoughts. "Princess. This is for you." She turned to the cell door to see who it was, but the person had already disappeared.
She was used to being called princess; Harley, The Joker, as well as Frost and Ivy called her that, as well as several of her Daddy's henchmen and colleagues. She shuffled from her cot and retrieved the piece of paper that had been slipped through the cracks.
Get under the bed
-J
Lolita didn't hesitate. She flung herself under the metal frame of her cot that was attached to the floor and curled into a ball, in the farthest corner away from the cell door. She'd smacked the side of her face that was swollen from the guard's hit on accident, but she managed to stay still and wait impatiently.
Luckily, she didn't have to wait long. Footsteps slapped the floor, and the familiar sound of a bomb ticking met her ears. She smiled happily as it was shortly attached to the door and the footsteps retreated.
Within ten seconds, the door blew off. The Joker was right behind it, dressed in his usual attire of crocodile skin and black slacks. She peaked out from under the bed and smiled happily, ignoring the throbbing in her cheek. She climbed out hastily and launched herself at The Joker. They kissed, teeth clashing and harshly biting at each other. Lolita sighed blissfully as he cradled her small body in his arms. When he pulled back, he grimaced at her outfit.
"Ooh, baby, orange is not your color!"
The chopper fell fast, spinning out of control. Harley watched with unabridged horror, ice-cold fear filling her body. Her fingers shook as she became clammy, her mouth stuttering-
The resounding sound of the chopper making impact with pavement made her fall to her knees. The gravel on the roof cut into her knees, through her fishnets, slicing her delicate ivory skin, staining it with blood. She was numb to it. Her nails scraped at the concrete in front of her, preventing her from falling over. She looked over the edge, contemplating, wishing, completely prepared to throw herself over the edge to be with her family again.
She stopped herself. It was incomprehensible, inconceivable. How could they be dead? Harley didn't understand. The Joker was a God. He was her God; he'd never let anything happen to her Lo. The Clown Prince of Crime, King of Gotham. Her Mister J. Nothing could kill him; not even Batman. And someone so pathetic, so human, so unimportant, had ordered the death of her beloved. No, she couldn't join them.
He explained this to her once, early in their time together, before they had Lolita.
I'm no mere man, Harls he explained. The Joker is me, yes, but it's an idea. A legacy. One that will live on forever, continued for years and years. I will always be here to terrorize the people of Gotham, because I will never die.
It was her duty to continue his legacy. She wouldn't give up; she would kill the devil in disguise, and she would return to Gotham, to continue her Puddin's work. His death wouldn't be in vain. She will be a curse upon Gotham, and they will all rue the day The Joker died. His legacy will live on.
Falling was a strange sensation. Her stomach was in her throat, her eyes watered with shameless tears. The Joker had a tight grip on her body, his face dark and ruthless. His jaw was clenched so tightly she thought his teeth would break. They knocked against the walls of the chopper as it spiraled out of control, The Joker taking the brunt of it each time as he kept her pressed against his chest. They hit the ground with a echoing thud, bits of the chopper bursting into flames immediately.
The Joker groaned as Lolita rolled off of him, his back most likely littered with bruises and most probably reshaped from the amount of times he hit the metal walls.
Lolita coughed as The Joker sank in and out of unconsciousness, propping herself up on his broad chest. She shook him hurriedly, passing worried glances at the flames that grew closer.
"Da-ddy," she choked, her throat sore from her screams. "Wake up. Daddy!"
He didn't respond, his eyes blearily passing over the roof. She grit her teeth in response and stood, bracing her hands on her knees before grabbing him under the armpit. She dragged him slowly, tripping more than once in her heels. She rolled him out of the open back of the chopper, wincing as she undoubtedly caused him more pain. She pulled him as far from the chopper as she could before she collapsed on her knees next to him, attempting to wake him again.
"Daddy?" she whispered, pressing an ear to his chest. "Get up!" She slammed her hands into the pavement on each side of her and screamed in frustration. She scowled at the direction The Enchantress, and most likely Amanda Waller was in.
A cough interrupted her temper tantrum, and she snapped her head down to look at her Daddy with hope. She frowned when she realized it wasn't him and tears began to gather in her eyes.
"Alone," she mumbled sadly, closing her eyes as her hands met her head and held her ears. "Alone, alone alone alone alone-"
"Miss Lo?" a masculine voice made her pause, and she whirled around. Beaming, she flung herself at Frost.
"Frosty the Snowman!" she sang, her worries evaporating. "Hiya, Frosty! How ya been?" He grunted as she threw herself at him and held her up, wondering silently how his boss was strong enough to stay standing when both Lolita and Harley tossed all of their weight at him.
"Just fine, Miss Lo," Frost smiled comfortingly, patting her head as he set her down. She smiled happily at the sight of the henchmen, clasping his hand. "Did ya miss me?" she batted her eyelashes flirtatiously. Frost rolled his eyes jokingly and knelt next to his boss. "Not as much as your Daddy did," he replied as he tossed the man over his shoulder. She squealed happily at the mention of The Joker-as usual-and raced to stay next to him.
"Where ya goin', Frosty?" she asked him as they walked side by side, her eyes never leaving The Joker's face.
"Gotta get the boss to a hospital," he told her.
"What about Harley?" she frowned. Frost smiled at her, "Don't worry, kid. J's always got a back-up plan."
Harley had somehow stumbled her way off the building and onto the top of a police cruiser. A never-ending stream of tears wracked her body and she was having a hard time breathing. She didn't understand. She didn't understand any of it.
How could they be gone? They'd been together, in his arms. They'd been reunited, and it had been ripped away so violently. She sought for Mr. J's comfort, for Lolita's love. Her soul had been split, and two thirds had shriveled up and died, along with her desire to live.
She promised, on Mr. J and Baby Lo's graves, that Amanda Waller would not live to see the sunrise.

jenni10121: Thank you!
theoriginalsrizzlesouat1D: GIRL YOU LITERALLY MAKE ME SO HAPPY ANY TIME I SEE YOU ANYWHERE ON HERE BC LIKE DAMN THAT GIRL DA REAL MVP YOU LEGIT MAKE ME SO HAPPY I WANNA CRY YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMAN. RICK IS GONNA FEEL THE ULTIMATE FEELS BC HIM AND LOLITA ARE BFFS YOU FEEL ME. AND YOUR LONG BUTT COMMENTS MAKE ME SO HAPPY LIKE AGAIN OMG I LOVE YOU THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU (I LOVE OUR NEVER ENDING CYCLE OF CAPS LOCK BTW)
ElMarSuperstar: Thank you! And girrrllll do I know what you mean. Hoco week=Hell week. Imma be Suicide Squad Harley Quinn for Halloween (bc I'm that mainstream lol) and I'm DIY af so I'm making the majority of my outfit and I was making the shirt when my dad walked past and he just had this look of utter despair on his face and long story short it was the best thing that's ever happened to me. My father is very anti boys, so any time I try to joke about ma husband/actual love interests he gets so defensive I'm like Dad chill yo girl is a minor. Dying for Suicide Squad to come out on DVD bc I need them deleted scenes with Jared. Like smh daddy only got like 10 minutes screen time. And I'm trying to keep to myself regarding the friends issue but the issue is basically me bc I'm so 'problematic' and they're all like "we have to talk to you" and I'm like "I'm going to avoid you until I have an excuse that is valid in your eyes to be ignoring you" bc apparently my problems aren't important enough. *upside down smiley emoji face* But thanks for the advice, it means the world to me! I can't wait for more of your story! (Malice/Joker/Harley can I get an amen)
lunasheza: Thank you so much! And thank you for reading, it means the absolute world to me! xx
abitoflightreading: Thank you! Rick is her bff, and he will not be the same with out her. I'm glad you were happy with me sticking to the story line, I wasn't sure if my readers would be upset that they don't get to see Lolita showdown with anyone, lol. I contemplated having Lolita be the one to get thrown out for a very short time, but she honestly has the mind set of a toddler and wouldn't be able to function without Harley and Joker, because they are basically her parents in a non-gross way. I hope you enjoyed the Lolita/Joker and that I did Harley proud. When the Harley movie comes out I will definitely be writing for it, no doubt in my mind. I'm glad you enjoy it so much you can reread it without getting sick of it, haha. Please don't be sorry for the long review, because they are the best kind of reviews that fill my heart with so much joy :D Thank you for reviewing! xx
MadHatterLove7011: Thank you! I hope you enjoyed my spin on it. I really wanted Lolita to fall with The Joker, just because if she'd been the one left alone she has the mindset of a toddler and really would not be able to function and kick ass like Harley. Thanks for reviewing!
