Agreements
Chapter 10
Screams flooded the Ballroom as the Joker dragged Amelia in. He let out a loud laugh and put his hand up; in it was a revolver. "Now now people; I am just looking for Brucey Boy" Laughing louder he signaled for his henchmen to move in, they were holding burlap sacks.
"Actually while I'm here I might as well clean your heavy pockets of that loose change and family heirloom jewelry!" He laughed and wiggled the gun at the crowd; they panicked and started to fill the sacks."Now where is that trust fund baby?! He's missing the party!"
Out of the crowed her uncle emerged with anger on his face, "Joker, I'll give you whatever you want, just let go of her!"
The Joker threw her into Bruce and she held onto Bruce tightly by the arm. "FINALLY, Brucey Boy graces us with his presence, now you two can give me what I want!" He held the revolver at Amelia and made a menacing smile. "I want you to take me to where we can be alone and have a little family talk. Harley, get the scraps from these fat cats; when I get back they better be scraped clean!"
Amelia and Bruce where ushered into Bruce's home office; the Joker slammed the door behind him and jumped into Bruce's arm chair. He pulled a legal document out of his purple suite jacket and placed it on the table, pushing it over to them with the tip of the revolver.
"Now; word on the street is you have this little college degree snob is going to be getting her greedy little hands into the Wayne fortune! How about we make this easy on the two of you, and you just hand the inherence over to me hm?!"
Amelia was shaking a bit, she was too scared to move, she really could not believe that this was really happening…again! She looked at his uncle to find that he was very oddly very calm about this. Maybe this has happened before, she didn't know anymore; this town was INSANE!
Bruce calmly took a step forward toward the craze lunatic, "Look. Joker, whatever you heard is wrong, my niece here is only here for a few months and then she is leaving. There are no heirs to the Wayne fortune."
The Joker frowned and sat up straight in the chair, folding his arms. But soon enough he smiled again and leaned over to the two of them. "Then I'll make a deal with you, how about you make me the heir! That way all that money won't get wasted on this like helping the orphans!"
The Joker let out one more laugh in till a massive hand from the shadows smashed his face into the desk. His grip on his gun loosened which gave Bruce a chance to grab it. Bane walked out of the curtains he had been hiding behind and lifted the Joker out of the chair.
"Ok clown, you had your fun. Now unless you want to still have those gruesome teeth of yours, I would suggest you start talking! Who wants Waynes money so much!?"
The Joker let out a laugh, blood running down from his now broken nose. "Baaane, I didn't know you were in town!" Bane took his arm and started to twist it, the Joker let out a yell.
"OK OK IT WAS COBBELPOT! Now let me go you massive freak!" Bane let go of his arm but smashed his head into the desk once more, letting go of the Joker.
Amelia slowly walked over to the wall and leaned against it, taking in a deep breath. She slowly composed herself and looked at the two of them. "Who is Cobblepot? Another nut job?"
Bruce nodded and handed her Jokers gun, "Yes, but for now lets focus on getting Harley and the goons out of the mansion. Amelia, call the police and tell them it's the Wayne mansion again. Just tell them the Joker is here and they will come." Bruce ran out of the room and before Amelia could say anything Bane left the room slowly, petting her hair as he left.
Bane got downstairs and tossed the Joker on the floor in front of Harley, making her scream. "PUDDING! What did you do to him?!" She ran to him and hugged him tightly. Though Harley wanted to hold him, the look Joker was making made it look like she burning his flesh off from her touch.
Harley looked up angrily and pointed at Bane, "Shoot him dead!" The goons pulled out machine guns and started to fire at him; Bane quickly dodged the shots and flipped a table, hiding behind it.
The people of the party started to run out screaming as soon as the guns started firing. Amelia quickly dialed her phone and called the police; when they answered she just yelled "Wayne mansion! Joker! Here! Please! Come! NOW!" She looked out to the fighting, biting her nails.
In front of Amelias eyes, one of the goons went flying up into the air, hanging upside down from the ceiling. The other goon looked back, giving Bane an opportunity to move. Bane quickly ran to the ordurbs table and lifted the table over his head, throwing it at goon.
Harley was left standing in the middle of the ballroom as a man in a black suite with bat like ears on it landed in front of her. She went to punch him but he blocked it, putting his hand on her stomach and shoving her onto the floor.
Pulling out a walkie-talkie from her hat, she yelled into it, "Bring up the car! We are leaving!" But when she turned to get up and run, Bane was standing over her. He lifted her up by the face and flung her to the floor where the Joker laid.
Harley went to sit back up but let out a loud yelp. It seemed like the Joker had woken up; and he was pissed. He had grabbed one of her pig tails and was shaking her head. "WE ARE NOT LEAVING TILL I GET THAT MONEY! DID YOU HEAR ME?!" Joker threw her over and got up, pulling a knife out of his pocket.
Pulling himself up, the Joker let out a loud laugh, pointing the knife at him. "Oh Batman, I wish I could spend time with you, but I am a little busy right now!" The Joker ran full speed at Bane and went for his throat, but Bane was quicker.
He grabbed Jokers wrist and gave it a big squeeze, the sound of his bones cracking echoed through the house. The Joker let out an angry scream, dropping the knife. It seemed that Bane had enough of The Jokers antics and got him in a bear hug.
The sound of the Jokers ribs cracking made Harley scream, Batman tried to Bane off the Joker. "Bane that's enough! You'll kill him!" But Bane didn't listen and squeezed tighter.
The Joker squeaked out what seemed liked his last breath but Amelia had enough. "BANE STOP!" Amelia had ran down the stairs and had her hands around Banes arm, shivering. "He might be crazy but killing is not the answer."
Banes grip loosened and the Joker fell to the floor, this seemed to be funny to the Joker. He lied on the floor, laughing his head off while blood flowed out of his mouth. "You really have gone soft Bane. The man who broke the bat, now listening to a prim proper white girl!"
Batman picked up the Joker from the collar of his dress shirt and punched him; knocking him out. They looked around to see that Harley had run off with the sack of money and jewelry that her beloved Joker wanted so much.
"I put a tracker on her car, she isn't going to get too far." Batman looked at his bat radar. Amelia looked around the ballroom, sadness filling her face.
The place was ruined, all the decorations had been shot down, the floor was covered with food and the worst part was, they didn't raise any money! This had to be the worst night of her life.
Bane walked over to her and softly patted her back. This was too weird for her, a second ago he almost killed a man; but now he wanted to be tender and caring to her. Batman handed Bane a walkie-talkie, "I am going after her, please watch this girl for me."
"I will with my life." Amelia looked up at Bane then back at Batman. "T-Thank you, Batman. I'm so happy that there are men like you and Bane who are here to save us normal people."
Batman nodded at her and picked up the Joker, dragging him out of the building with him. Amelia stood quietly while Bane held her in his arms, letting her lie her head on him. Suddenly they hear a scream, looking in the direction of the scream. Alfred was standing in horror, "MY FOOD! THE HOUSE! WHAT HAPPENED?!"
It was almost three in morning, after hours of helping Alfred with the cleaning and dealing with the police; Amelia was worn out. She was letting herself soak in a hot shower; doing her best to get the images of violence and blood out of her mind.
The good news was that they now knew who had hired Bane to kill her uncle. The bad news, she wanted to leave this city; now. She was beginning to feel like coming to this city was the worst thing she could have done.
Everyone was out to get her over a stupid rumor, she wanted out. Getting out of the shower she dried herself and put on a fluffy robe. Bane walked into her room quietly, wearing only sweat pants.
Amelia sighed and lied down on the bed, letting him crawl in with her; the two didn't speak for a while. They both just stared at the ceiling, Bane was being his normal quiet self but Amelia was tuckered out.
Bane slowly pulled her into his chest and kissed her forehead, she let him kiss her. His kissed felt nice, and his touch was warm, comforting her. She pulled back a bit and looked up at him, "Bane, how many men have you really killed."
Bane did not answer. Amelia bit her lip and sighed softly, "Never mind, I don't think I honestly want to know. I'm glad you where here to protect my uncle and I."
He placed his hand under her chin and had her look at him. She blushed slightly as she looked into his deep brown. He put his forehead against hers running his hands down her back and down to her thighs; resting his hands on them.
"I will always protect you Amelia. Always. Your kisses and touch is amazing, and you are as beautiful as the early morning sunrise." The both of them just stared at each other for a while. That was it, though he has almost killed in front of her and lied to her; she couldn't ignore her feelings anymore.
Her timid nature had left her as she kissed his lips deeply. He was shocked by her sudden passion but he secretly loved it, wanting her more. They held each other close and kept kissing each other deeply, Amelias robe slowly sliding off.
Amelia awoke to the sun shining in her eyes, letting out a loud yawn. She looked to her side of the bed to see that Bane was still there, holding her by the waist in his sleep. That was the night their passions could no longer be hidden and their love became one. In a passionate lustful whirlwind they had expressed their feelings.
Though her life was in danger for staying in this crazy town she did not want to leave, because she knew she would be leaving Bane. She decided she would stay here even after the job was done. Maybe it wasn't such a bad night after all.
