First off, I would like to acknowledge tomieharley's review. I am such an idiot; I somehow managed to kill Trevor in chapter 2 and bring him back to life in chapter 5. I wanted to think up some creative way to make this happen, but nothing came to mind, so I am just going to go back fix it. I'm going to changed chapter 2 just a bit, but it won't affect the rest of the plot. The only change will be the Joker didn't kill Trevor. I really can't believe I did that. Thank you so much tomieharley! Next, thank you Rasha007 and Leslie Lili for your reviews; they are always very helpful! Finally, this will probably be the longest you ever have to wait for a new chapter, and I apologize for that. Thanks for your patience!

Katy was the first to speak. "It is you, Jack. I see it now, I should have seen it earlier..."

The Joker didn't know how to respond. He didn't remember how to be Jack anymore. Jack had died a long time ago. Or so he thought. Ever since Katy had come back into his life, Jack seemed to creep up behind him. It wasn't that he was literally a different person of course. Jack was the Joker and the Joker was Jack. But they seemed like two different people. Jack was more in control and more willing to be a part of society. When he gave up that identity to become the Joker, he had given up that whole life. He gave into his instincts to kill, hurt, and to abandon guilt.

"You remember me," he finally said.

"Yes, why didn't you say something sooner? You had to know it was you I was talking about you the other day. After my dream."

"I don't know. I guess I didn't want you to know what I had become. You're the only person I really cared to make a good impression on. I thought if you knew..." Joker looked unsure.

Katy was shocked. She couldn't believe after all these years she had finally found Jack. After that first day they met, she thought she would never see him again. But the next day, they happened to run into each other again. Although at the time she had thought it was a coincidence, later she wondered if he had found her on purpose. The next day they ran into each other again and it had become a regular thing. They would meet at the place where they first met and spend the day together. Katy helped Jack get a job and a place to stay, and Jack helped Katy make it through even the worst times with her dad. He was always a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen to her vent.

Katy spoke to Joker: "I can't say I am happy with everything you've done. But I know it's not your fault, Jack. I know you. Although I don't want people to get hurt, I also don't want you to change. I lo... like you. For you."

The Joker breathed a sigh of relief at her words. He had not expected her to say anything like that. Not at all. He hated being a disappointment to her, hated that he hurt her by hurting others. But at least she wasn't turning her back on him.

The Joker suddenly remembered a question he had for Katy. "About the other night Katy," he paused to let the feeling of saying her name as Jack again sink in. "When you woke up from that dream. You called me Jack." The Joker paused as he struggled internally about whether or not to ask his question. He decided to ask so it wouldn't keep bothering him. "Do you dream about me a lot? Or Jack I guess?"

Katy looked at him straight in the eyes, the intensity in her eyes causing the Joker's heart to pound. "Yes," she said quietly yet still with conviction. "All the time."

Footsteps broke their eye contact and the Joker threw himself back from her, slamming himself into the window. When had he become so close to her? He didn't remember leaning in but when one of his men entered the bus bringing him back to reality, he realized his face was inches from hers and their bodies were as close as they could be on the bus seat without touching. They both looked up at the intruder: Seth.

"You want me to take the bus back boss?"

The Joker didn't say anything for a while, he just gave Seth a look that made him fear for his life. Then the Joker realized that Seth was right. The bus being here would give away the location of their hideout. And he wasn't about to go to jail. Not right after Katy just found out who he was. He didn't want his men to know about his past with Katy, they might realize he had a weakness and use that to their advantage. And that wouldn't be bad for just him; Katy wasn't safe, not when she could be used to get to him. So he stood up and grabbed her arm trying to make it look rough without actually hurting her. He pulled her up off the seat and pushed her out the bus, holding on so she wouldn't fall. "Get it out of here," he told Seth then headed towards the warehouse with an upset Katy in tow. But as they reached the entrance, instead of going in the doors he pulled her to a secluded area on the side of the building. Joker knew no one could see them here unless they came looking.

He pushed Katy up against the wall and stepped in. Katy's anger at being yanked around quickly disappear as new distractions took its place.

I couldn't decide if I wanted to keep saying the Joker or start calling him Jack. I think I'm going to settle on calling him Joker unless it is a flashback or it is in Katy's dialogue. I hope you liked this chapter! I'll update soon, probably by the end of today because I feel so bad about the wait.
