Chapter 10

It wasn't hard for me to sneak my way into the room where the intercom system of Arkham was. It was even easier to kill the guards in the room. I normally would have had more fun doing it but I had to take care of unfinished business. I giggled to myself as I took a seat by the intercom speaker. As I sat there I couldn't help but think of my darling bats. He wasn't going to be happy with this. Another burst of giggles escaped me. He would thank me for latter for it. After all he lived for our game as much as I did. Even if he denied it to himself. I shook my head to the thought and busted into laughter. As I flipped the on switch of the intercom I giggled holding on to the speaker.

"Good evening lovely people of Arkham. This is your dear Joker here." I busted into laughter.

"Now I know this is used for boring news and blah, blah. But I have a very important message to a group of dashing 6 young men. Oh yes you know who you all are. Hehahahehoohaha, Arkhams most handsome occupant has to inform you young men that it is my turn to play." Laughter filled all of Arkham from the intercoms.

I flipped off the intercom a grin spreading across my face. They should have known not to play with my Bats.

"He will thank me." I giggled as I stood up. I could hear the alarms going off. I always knew how to throw a great party. I giggled to myself proudly. I glanced up at the vent. I have been in those vents many times. It was easy enough to get off once I stood up on the table climbing in and closing it after me. Those cowardly guards were probably hiding somewhere. Didn't matter to me though. It made this all the more fun. As I crawled through the vents I could hear the guards running around franticly bellow me. I had to hold in a loud chuckle.

The memory from earlier that day was plaguing my mind. I could fill my anger come back to me. It faded quickly as I grinned. They should have learned after Harley. Still the memory was there.

There I was minding my own business in my cell wondering what was taking my dear darling Bats so long to get back. I was going mad with boredom. I couldn't help but laugh at that thought. Still it had been hours when all of us loonies had to be back in our cell. So where was my bat? I was pacing back and forth getting frustrated.

As I was about to escape with a few things I managed to get during my little race with the flying rodent. I had easily run faster than the guards and easily broke into the storage room. They had my cards. They really shouldn't have taken them. I shook my head. How could they prevent me from performing my amazing magic tricks? Outrageous! Of course they were going to search me after I gave the bland boring doctor a reason to smile. Here I thought they would be grateful. I giggled. The guards wanted to search me. I simply flirted with them and they didn't want to bother striping me. Not like they would have much luck with that. So they just left me back in my cell all to my lonesome. I was so very bored. I wanted my Bat back. But where was he?! He shouldn't have taken this long to get taken back to the cell. Maybe he had escaped? No. Bats would never want to be far away from me for long. I nodded at the thought. As I finally decided to go look for the bat, He must have been playing hide and seek with me after all. Batsy always liked to play games with me. The doors to the cell opened. "Honey you're late for dinner" I said before I realized it was 6 young guards I was all too familiar with. I grinned until my eyes caught glimpse of the slumped body they were dragging. I couldn't help a frown at that. I watched his chest intently until I noticed shallow breaths and I grinned again. They would have never been able to kill my bats. Still they had played with my favorite toy. I watched them so intently I didn't even blink. The guards laughed as they threw my now bloody bat to the ground. Blood always looked good on my darling but only if I was the one causing it.

"Here clown you can finish him." They spoke to me as more of an order. That one I would spend most of my time on. His name was Steve. I giggled at the thoughts of fun games I would have with him. They assumed I was laughing as a way to thank them. Idiots.

Once they left and closed the doors behind them I turned my attention to my very handsome dark knight.

I bent down. They had stripped him of his clothing. I shook my head. They were really taking my fun away. I looked him over and I noticed several stab wounds. All very sloppy work.

"Armatures, No style and no art." I shook my head disappointed at the mess they left on my bat. At least I was never that sloppy. I glanced at a long scar on the bat chest. One I could only grin at.

"Oh the memories." I giggled as I stood up. I shook my head. "Should of came home sooner sweetheart, now dinner will get cold." I giggled glancing down at him a moment longer. It didn't take me long at all to get the door open to our cell as I took off and quickly snuck to the storage room. Grabbing another one of my stylish purple suit jacket. Cant let my bats catch a cold. Then he will be really grumpy. I giggled. I managed to grab more of my fun toys as well. I quietly snuck into the urgent care room and stole some bandages and stitches. I had to be Batman's good old nurse Joker now. Sound like a fun fetish for my bat. I couldn't hold a laugh in as I made it back to the cell. Lifting him on to the bed was the hard part. I really needed to escape Arkham more often my bat was starting to need some exercise I thought to myself. Another burst of giggle fits hit me. It took over an hour to clean up and stitch up my bats wounds. I also noticed they broke three of his ribs and dislocated his shoulder. As I popped them back in did Bats finally stir in pain. I giggled, he looked cute like that. All I had to do now was wait for my bat to wake up then It's off to work I go.

I found the first guard pretty easily he was hiding in one of the therapy rooms. I didn't care for making to much noise as I got out of the vent his eyed went wide. I gave him a cheerful smile.

"Please! Don't!" he backed up to the wall.

I frowned for a moment and shook my head.

"I haven't even done anything yet and you are already begging? Hypocrite." I said un-amused. My smile returned quickly. As I walked closer to him until I was near feet ahead of him. I could see the fear in his eyes. My smile only grew more.

"Why?! Why are you after me?" his voice was panicked. He was the youngest of the 6 guards. My guess around 21.

"Silly, it's all a game. You see it's my turn. You just should have known I had an ace up my sleeve." I grinned as I slipped a card out of my sleeve. He cowered from me.

"Please…."

I giggled as I put the card in his front pocket and patted his face softly.

"You really should learn to take a joke." I laughed and his eyes went wide in confusion as I turned around. I waved a hand dismissively at him.

"What…uhhh…huh" He couldn't believe he had been spared. Then after he had spoken a puff of smoke came from his pocket. He breathed in and started laughing hysterically as he fell to the ground his mouth twisting into a huge grin and his eyes wide. Until the laughter finally ended.

I looked back at him and smiled happily.

"I'm so happy you finally learned how to take a joke." I chuckled as I left the room silently. I still had 5 others to bring a smile to. A clown's work is never done.

I crept through the halls of Arkham silently and avoiding being seen. I have had to do this countless times, to escape with Harley. Though I always preferred to announce my escapes. This was very boring way of doing things. I spotted two of the guards and grinned they walked into the women's bathrooms. I shook my head.

I entered pretty quickly and closed the door.

"Who's there?" One of them yelled before he went dead silent when I showed myself.

I screamed over dramatically and covered myself despite wearing my suit.

"Cant a lady have some privacy!" I spat out at them.
They looked at me in shock. I just laughed.
"You can't take on two of us clown!" The one I knew as Jourdan yelled at me as I just smiled.

"Is that so?" I giggled and raised my hands in the air.

"I'm just a defenseless clown, oh what ever shall I do?" I gave a terrified look. I couldn't keep it for long before smiling at them again.

Jourdan and the other Aaron was his name both lunged at me. Bad mistake for them I simply with ease avoided their attacks. I grabbed Jourdan by the head and plunged my thumbs into his eyes he screamed in pain as the blood spilled out of his eye sockets and onto my white gloves. I frowned, as I let go of him and he fell back Aaron looked on with terror.

"Oh god my eyes! I can't see!" He screamed out in pain.

I frowned and looked at my now blood stained gloves.

"You stained my gloves! Do you know how much it's going to cost me to get these clean?" I giggled and pulled out a knife and slit Jourdans throat. He fell to the ground and bleed out on the floor. I turned to Aaron who was shaking from fear.

"You sick freak" he yelled.

I smiled at him.

"I don't feel sick." I put my hand to my head and smiled.

"No fever but I thank you for your concern." I laughed. As he lunged at me I quickly moved and slammed him to the ground. I pulled out a confetti popped from my jacket.

I held it In front of his face.

He squirmed trying to get free.

I busted up into a loud laughter.

"Thank you for coming to my party. Here's a party gift."

I pulled the string, and a loud bang was heard. I laughed as I looked at where Aarons head used to be. I stood up and giggled.

I left the bathroom quickly knowing many guards would be there soon. I quickly hid from view as I watched many guards pass me. I slipped threw them and giggled once I saw the guard I was looking for. He was in one of the many hallways of Arkham, obviously hiding out from me. Lucky for me he was alone I walked silent up to him and tapped on his shoulder. He turned around and fell back.

"Joker…." He whispered out in fear.

"That's me." I giggled. As I walked closer to him.

"Why are you doing this? I didn't hurt you?!" he cried out.

"It's a party." I giggled.

"I am after all the entertainment." I smiled and pulled out a marble. I knew I had to be quicker this time my batsy was already probably missing me.

I grabbed him and lifted him up. He tried to pull free.

"Smile for me Johnny boy." I pulled open his mouth and forced the marble as far back in his throat as I could he choked. I let him go.

"Gotta run!" I laughed as I took off running. A few seconds later a explosion was heard. I looked back and grinned.

"Clean up in aisle 6!" I yelled laughing.

I hid and crept and I giggled I only had Steve left. He would enjoy seeing the clown. This was his party after all.

I found him pretty quick. He was cowering in a corner in the entertainment room which was deserted.

"Stevie boy!" I spoke up loudly and he screamed.

"You monster, you were supposed to kill Wayne not us! What's a guy like him mean to you anyways!"

"I told you guards." I laughed. "I and Brucie go way back."

I noticed the realization spread across his face. I grabbed him by his shirt.

"He is Batman!" He screamed out.

I smiled at him amused.

"Shhhh, you don't deserve to know that secret. Now since I'm the clown to your party, I will have you be my assistant but you need to look the part." I giggled loudly and darkly. His eyes went wide with pure fear.

I pulled out my knife and put it in his mouth.

"All clowns need a big nice smile."

The rooms filled with screaming only to fade out by my laughter.

I got back to the cell without getting caught. I giggled at my Bats expression.

"What did you do Joker!"

We both knew what I did I just smiled at my darling bat.

"I'm sorry Batsy. You didn't have an invite to the party."
