"Some of them want to use you. Some of them want to get used by you. Some of them want to be abused. Some of them want to be abused."

Chapter 10

Roman Sionis' hideout was just as dingy at Evie could imagine. It was cold, wet and just plain creepy. Ultraviolet lights illuminated the obviously abandoned warehouse. Large barrels she assumed once held chemical concoctions were scattered around the place, as well as loose pipes and an abundance of cargo boxes. Strewn across the floor were old pieces of paper and straw from discarded deliveries. There was silence throughout the group as they cautiously walked towards the voices they could hear in the distance, an echoing drip of a leaking pipe emphasising the sinister feel of the place. As they approached their contact, Evie could see that Sionis was clad in his mask again, the mask that gave her the creeps. She found that his men, around four to five of them also donned similar masks. Evie couldn't help but roll her eyes. Was theatricality part of the criteria of becoming a criminal in Gotham city?

Sionis' head whipped round as he heard the oncoming footsteps. He and his men were crowded round a table, reviewing some sort of blue print. He stepped away from the table, followed by his men, and stood in the middle of the room, ready to greet his 'guests'. As the Joker made his way to the front of his men, Sionis outstretched his hands in a welcoming gesture.

"Ah, Joker, so nice of you to join us, today," he exclaimed, almost politely but Evie could detect the sarcasm behind his tone.

"Always a pleasure, Roman. Or is it Black Mask you go by now? Can never seem to keep track of the ever changing criminal alias' in this town," he snarled back in response. He obviously wasn't in the mood for small talk today. "Do you have what I ordered?"

Sionis appeared to ignore his question. "Quite the entourage you have here today," he stepped towards the group as if to analyse the Joker's new recruits. Evie shifted uncomfortably behind Pete, unsure what Sionis would say if he recognised her. He stopped in his tracks as if he had seen something that caught his eye. "I do believe you are yet to introduce to me this fine woman in your presence," he purred as he held a hand out to Harley, who giggled in response. Evie had to give her props, for an insanely deranged woman she really did know how to use her looks to her advantage. She stepped forward and took Sionis' hand and curtsied.

"Roman Sionis this is Harley Quinn," The Joker grumbled, barely even looking at the two.

"I don't remember encountering you before," Sionis murmured to her.

She grinned at him, eyes sparkling. "I'm new," she beamed.

"That you are," he purred, bringing her hand to the mouth of his mask as if to kiss her. "Enchante."

"Charmed," she purred right back at him, flashing a look at the Joker. Upon realising he wasn't paying attention she took her hand back and strutted back behind the Joker, crossing her arms and dropping her left hip.

"I think we can skip the formalities and just get down to business Sionis, if you don't mind," The Joker growled under his breath. Evie wondered if he was actually looking for trouble. She then remembered it was the Joker, of course he was.

"Why so tense, Joker, hmm? Don't wanna spend too long outside in case the feds catch you again?" Sionis sounded smug under his mask, as though he were taunting the Joker.

The Joker chuckled darkly in response, waving a warning finger at Sionis. "Oh, Sionis, I pray for your sake that you weren't that idiotic," he smiled in an evil fashion, grasping his hands together.

Sionis laughed then, keeling over briefly. "Oh Joker, please, there's more evidence here to convict me than there is for you. It's just us men," he gestured at the surrounding men.

"Well in that case," the Joker's smile immediately faltered into a frown. "Let's do business."

Sionis paused for a moment before he spoke again. "Well of course," he whistled loudly, startling Evie for a moment. She heard Pete chuckle for a second at her jumping, resulting in her swatting him quietly. Two of Sionis' men carried a large wooden crate over and placed it down in front of the Joker before quickly backing away. The Joker whistled to his own men and two hurried forward, crowbars in tact, and popped open the crate.

From where Evie was standing, she couldn't quite see what was in the crate, but as the Joker lifted up a large semi-automatic, admiring it, she assumed that the rest of the crate encased similar items. The Joker held the gun in his hands in different positions, admiring the balance and getting a feel for it, humming to himself in satisfaction.

"You've out done yourself this time, Sionis," The Joker complimented resulting in a humble nod from Sionis.

"Only the best for my favourite customer," he mumbled under his mask.

The Joker chuckled then, his eyes still lighting up like a child on Christmas as he continued to admire the gun in his hands. "How much?" he raised an eyebrow as he asked.

"Two million," Sionis told him in a no-nonsense tone.

The Joker thought for a moment, looking away pondering the price. His eyes then went back to the guns in front of him, and he smiled. "So be it, Pete if you will," The Joker called upon Pete who picked up the briefcase of money at his feet and started to walk towards the Joker. Evie was suddenly left exposed. And as Sionis watched Pete come forward, she realised the mistake the Joker had made.

"Hold on," Sionis held up a finger, Pete paused as he was about to hand the briefcase to the Joker, as did the Joker. The Joker turned his head to Sionis suspiciously. Evie looked to Sionis who suddenly turned his finger to point directly at Evie. She felt her heart stop as suddenly all attention in the room was on her. "That is Evelyn Maroni is it not?" he turned his head to the Joker, awaiting his answer.

The Joker was silent for a moment, simply staring back at Sionis, he didn't dare look at Evie. Pete's head whipped between the pair of them, Harley looked at the Joker nervously. "Her name's Evelyn Salisbury, actually," he snarled back at Sionis.

Sionis chuckled in response. "But that is daughter of Sal Maroni is it not?" Sionis made a step towards the Joker's group, cautiously walking past the Joker and straight towards Evie. The Joker slowly turned to watch the pair, Pete watching the Joker intently as if to await orders. Evie didn't know what to do as Sionis' eyes boar into her through his mask. All she could do was stand still, she glanced at the Joker, who was simply standing there, hunched over himself, a silent rage hiding in his eyes. As Sionis reached her, he towered over her, looking her up and down. "Yes I remember you, Miss Evie," he raised a hand to her cheek and gently brushed it with the back of his fingers, causing an involuntary whimper to escape her. She pulled away from him sharply, resulting in Sionis chuckling. "Looks like you've gone and got yourself mixed up with the sharks again, sweetheart, hmm?" He murmured. Evie could only stare back at him.

He hummed to himself for a moment before turning on her and walking back to his usual spot. "All right, Joker, I propose a new deal," he exclaimed, holding his arms behind his back and pacing where he stood. "You see, Sal Maroni and I used to have a good thing going a couple of years ago. That was until the scum bag cut all ties with me for no good reason, I lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process and most importantly, respect. So as you can imagine, I'm not exactly his biggest fan," Sionis explained. Evie did not like where this was going.

"That's a touching story, it really is. However, it's not my problem," the Joker grumbled. "Get to the point," he clicked his tongue at Sionis.

"Point is I will give you the guns for half the price, in exchange for the girl," Sionis stated. Evie's heart sunk to her stomach. What the fuck had she gotten herself into now?!

A silence fell over the group. Many of the Joker's men looked between each other. Evie looked to the Joker but he was staring Sionis dead eye in the face. He was perfectly still. Pete glanced at Evie, unsure how the Joker was going to react, Harley was grinning from ear to ear. It appeared as though everyone was holding their breath. All that could be heard was the dripping of water, Evie counted them as they fell. The seconds that passed before the Joker spoke felt like hours.

"No deal, Sionis, two million for the guns will be just fine," The Joker snarled at Sionis, Pete took a step back towards Evie. She could've sworn she'd seen his hand twitch towards his gun.

Sionis did not seem too pleased. "Joker, I don't think you understand the deal I am offering you here-"

"No, Sionis, this is no deal. You're letting your need for revenge overcloud your judgement. Now if you don't mind, you have already wasted enough of my time today with your stupidity and we'll be leaving now," The Joker turned on his heel. Pete took hold of Evie's arm and spun her around as they began to walk towards the door.

Everyone froze when they heard the sound of a gun clocking. The group turned around to be faced with Sionis aiming his gun, followed by his men also taking aim at the group. "You see it's not that simple, Joker," Sionis barked. "Either you hand over the girl, or me and my boys open fire on all of you."

The Joker responded by laughing manically. The laugh echoing off the high ceiling and several empty vats, causing uneasiness to flow through everyone who stood there. Peter's grip tightened on Evie's arm. This was it. It was going to happen. Evie's eyes hastily searched her surrounding. Six feet to her right and in front of her was a steel vat. It would provide suitable cover. However it didn't stop her visible shaking. She looked to Pete who simply nodded, not bothering to look back at her in return.

"Are you quite sure you want to be this stupid, Black Mask?" the Joker continued to laugh.

"Oh I'm quite sure," he snarled. "Get the girl, boys!"

It all happened so quickly. Before even the first shot was fired, Pete had pushed Evie into the direction of the vat. Evie quickly scurried behind the vat, as gun fire rang through the air. The only sound amongst the gun fire was the Joker's laughter. She couldn't decide which was worse, being held captive by the Joker or being held captive by Sionis. Both were deranged psychopaths. Both were murderers, both would undoubtedly hurt her. But at the same time, Evie knew the Joker. She knew the Joker's limits, she knew how he acted. And Sionis wanted her for straight up revenge, so god knows what he wanted to do to her. Before she knew it, Evie was screaming, as shots flew by her and all she could was watch as the Joker's men fell where they stood. She caught sight of Pete, alternating between taking cover and shooting at Sionis' men. As she listened she could still hear the Joker laughing, alerting her that he was still alive.

Before she could turn around to look what was going on as the gun fire began to die down, Harley jumped in front of her. The shock resulting in Evie screaming.

"Whatcha doin' back here, princess?" Harley grinned at her, holding out a gun to Evie. "Come and join the fun!" she squealed.

"I think I'm good here!" Evie shouted back to her.

Harley giggled, forcefully placing the gun into Evie's hand. "It's real simple, just squeeze the trigger! Unless you wanna sit here while we get outnumbered," Harley smiled at Evie before jumping back into action, laughing as she did so.

Evie stared at the gun in her hands as if it were a dead animal. She couldn't possibly? She peered out in front of the vat. The Joker was being his usual trigger-happy self but Harley was right, they were becoming outnumbered. All that was left was the Joker, Harley, Pete and two of the Joker's men. Sionis appeared to have had back up waiting in the wings and they were now outnumbered seven to five, Sionis still standing. She looked to the vat in front of her, it was about ten feet in front of her. If she was quick she could make it. Leaning back behind the vat, she clutched the fun close to her and took a deep breath. She peered round the vat once more and saw that Sionis' men were embarking towards the Joker's side. Knowing it was now or never, Evie stayed low and crept out from behind the vat, holding the gun out in front of her, taking aim as she quickly moved towards the other vat.

She aimed at one of Sionis' men who appeared to be distracted and squeezed the trigger. However she felt her heart sink when the gun simply clicked. Panicking, she rushed behind the vat and inspected the gun. It wasn't loaded.

"Shit," Evie cursed as she realised Harley had fooled her. And now she was more or less right in the middle of the crossfire.

She peered around and noticed the Joker had turned to the opposite side of his cover and was advancing to Sionis' group from the right, followed closely by Pete and one of his men. Meanwhile, Sionis' men were approaching down the middle. Before she knew it she was pulled to the side. One of Sionis' men had grabbed her and was attempting to subdue her.

Dropping her gun in the process, she formed a fist with her now free hand and swung it round, punching him in the face before flinching in pain upon realising the man's mask wasn't plastic, but metal. In response he attempted to hit her over the head with his gun, however, Evie quickly rolled to the side and sprung up. She started to run to the other side of the vat before he grabbed her by her hair, pulling her back. Evie spun on her heel as she attempted an unbalanced round house kick which he managed to block at the final second. She backed off of him and raised her fists in a defensive boxing stance. He took a swing at her which Evie effortlessly dodged before swinging another punch at him, this time aiming for his chest. He jumped back, dodging her fist and taking the spare moment to apply metal knuckle dusters. He quickly advanced on her, Evie raised her hand to protect her head and face but that didn't stop him punching her straight in the stomach, resulting in her groaning in response as the pain surged through her. Keeling back at her body absorbed the pain, clutching her stomach, the man quickly hit her with an uppercut to the cheek, sending Evie flying onto her back. Momentarily blacked out, the man grabbed Evie and threw her over his shoulder and began to walk back to Sionis.

Seconds later, Evie came back to, facing the ground beneath her. The man held onto her with an iron grip. She began to thrash against his back, punching and kicking, her body doing it's best to try and wriggle free but the man was two strong. As the gun fire began to die down, Evie screamed so loud her throat began to ache.

"Boss!" Pete shouted over to the Joker. The Joker meanwhile was too busy disposing of Sionis' men left right and centre. As Pete had sent a bullet through Sionis' shoulder he and his men had began to retreat back. The Joker had fired the final of his bullets at one of the remaining three henchmen. As Pete called out to him the Joker spun around and caught sight of Evie being carried away by one of Sionis' men, her face full of fear, battered and bruised. Rage and hunger took over him then, as Pete and Harley subdued Black Mask's final gun men, holding them hostage as they knelled on the ground, Pete and Harley's guns aimed at their heads. Before the henchman carrying Evie could register what was happening, the Joker had charged over to him, tackling him to the ground, sending Evie flying across the floor.

The Joker, as quick as a flash straddled him. He penetrated the man's right hand with one of his knives, the man cried out in pain, but not before the Joker did the same to his other hand. "Ooo, these looks neat," he purred as he removed the man's knuckle dusters and placed them on his own gloved fingers. "Now then, where were we?" he paused amongst the man's screams. "Oh yeah," he quickly remarked before he began to pound the man's masked face in with the metal knuckle dusters, denting the mask into the man's face. Punching, punching, punching, he could not stop, eventually discarding the mask. Even without the mask, the man's face was unrecognisable as the Joker continued to drench his face in blood. As the Joker continued to pummel into him, blood began to spray onto the Joker, covering his face, hair and torso. Evie could only look on horrified as the Joker relentlessly beat into the man. Teeth scattered, bones crunched and just as he was about to pass out, the Joker stopped. He was panting now, a horrific excitement present in his wild eyes, blood all over his mouth and face.

He reached over to the man's hand, pulling out the knife he had left there, slowly, making the man scream out in pain. The Joker smiled at him then, holding the knife in front of the man's face, ensuring he would follow it. He raised the knife and turned it so that the tip pointed straight at Evie, still lying on the ground, her face white with horror, her mouth unable to close. He then pointed the tip of the knife to himself, nodding. "Mine," he snarled, before he slowly drove the knife into the man's throat. The gut wrenching sounds of the man gurgling as the blood spurted out of his neck as the Joker slowly sliced his throat, made Evie's stomach lurch. The blood of the man fully showered the Joker now as he admired his hand work. He lugged himself off of the man, panting as he hunched over, staring down at him.

He turned his head then and looked toward Evie through his lashes. All she could do was stare back at him as he looked at her. The rage and hunger in his eyes began to die down as he looked at her, the bruise that was beginning to form on her cheek, her blonde hair completely messed up, her face as white as a sheet, a single tear escaping her eye. He ran a hand through his hair, smoothing it out, slick and wet from the blood. Still locking eyes with Evie, he ran his hand over his face, wiping away some of the excess blood from his face. He then closed his eyes and looked away from her and turned his head to the ceiling, taking a deep breath. He bathed in the aroma of his kill, his blood lust fully satisfied. As he exhaled he soaked in the memory of the kill.

Suddenly, Harley had collided into him squealing in happiness. She wrapped her arms around his neck and placed a hard kiss on his blood strewn lips. Evie watched in disgust as the Joker pulled away from her for a second, before smiling wickedly, wrapping his arms around her waist and passionately kissing her in return, her face becoming bloodied as their faces pressed against each other. As their kiss grew deeper, he hoisted Harley's legs up so that they were wrapped around his waist, his hands roughly grabbing her ass. Harley moaned against him as Evie felt like she was going to throw up.

Pete then coughed to alert the Joker. Harley pulled away from him with a grin as the Joker put her down and turned his attention to Pete. "What do you want me to do with the strays, boss?" he asked, gesturing to Sionis' two remaining men, Sionis' having fled during the altercation.

The Joker shrugged. "Just take 'em out for me, Pete, would ya?" he suggested. He then wrapped his arm around Harley and walked her out of the warehouse, not even sparing a glance for Evie who still lay on the ground. Pete whistled the two remaining Joker henchmen who hurried over to him, Pete whispered something to them before they broke ranks, the two men aiming their guns at the Sionis henchmen as Pete made his way over to Evie.

He extended a hand to a speechless Evie. She shakily took it as he lifted her off of the ground. When she was on her feet she could barely stand, her legs almost giving out. Pete put an arm around her. "Come on," he began to lead her away. "I think you've seen enough blood shed for one day," he murmured to her as they exited the building.

"W-w-w-what the f-f-f-u-ck just ha-ha-happened?" Evie stuttered.

Pete chuckled, unaware if she was referring to the Joker's grisly murder of her would-be captor or the vomit inducing make out session between the Joker and Harley. When they exited the building Evie looked at Pete, confused as to where the Joker and Harley had gone.

"Joker had another car with them, they'll meet us back at the hideout," Pete explained before Evie even had to ask as he opened the back door to the van. Evie hopped in back of the van without question, still visibly shaking. Pete handed her a flask. "Here," he said as she took it from him. "Helps with the shock."

Evie took a large sip of the warm liquid as she heard two gunshots ring out from within the warehouse.
