Chapter 65

.

Note: Most of these characters are from "24" with one obvious exception. The Joker is from the movie "Dark knight." I've altered some of them to suit my own purposes.

.

There was an expression on Earth, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Christopher Henderson remembered one book, about a young soldier during World War 2. In the enlistment center, he was surounded by many other young men, just as scared as he was. Having the same enemies, nazi Germany and imperial Japan, as well as about to face the same dangers, these young men bonded over their mutual fears. Now, Henderson was in Hell. He had bonded with others here over the same enemy, Jack Bauer. Jack Bauer had killed Hendeson, as well as Ira Gaines, Victor Drazen, Nina Myers, Abu Fayed. When it became clear that people could come to Hell, rescue their loved ones, they knew it was only a matter of time before Jack Bauer came here, and this group could take their revenge. This group was holding a meeting, when an unexpected guest showed up. This was the Joker, a clown and a serial killer. They had heard that some universes versions of the joker were relatively harmless, didn't kill civilians, faked their own kidnappings, even surfed with Batman. This version however, was a stone cold killer and psychopath.

.

Henderson: What do you want?

Joker: To help. You all have a common enemy, you say you want to kill him.

Gaines: He killed a lot of us. Did he kill you too?

Joker: No, but I get bored easily and wouldn't mind helping out right now.

Nina: You're unreliable, insane.

Joker: I like you. Besides, I can bring something to the table.

Gaines: What?

Joker: Perhaps I should say, someone. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but a lot of you were enemies once. Gaines here tried to have Nina killed, thought he succeeded. And Drazen here, you slaughtered a lot of muslims in Kosovo, yet here you are working with Abu Fayed.

Henderson: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Joker: Exactly. And you all want Jack Bauer dead, or at least to suffer. I take it you wouldn't mind working with someone who, you might have once considered your enemy.

Nina: We're listening.

.

With that, the Joker's ally came out. To their suprise, it was Kimberly Bauer.

.

Drazen: She wants to kill her father?

Kim: Yes, I do.

Joker: Kimberly is, adaptable, practically an agent of chaos. After Gaines and Drazen here kidnapped her, after Nina murdered her mother, she fell in with a radical group. Tried to solve the problem of overpopulation by releasing a deadly plague. She went to prison, even Death Row, but her father saved her life, temporarily ofcourse. After her release Kim tried to be good, volunteer groups, bringing food and medication to refugee camps. She even had a child, tried to be a good mother. But then greed got in the way, she sold intel to the terrorists for pesonal gain. In the end, Jack had to choose between his daughter, and saving innocent lives. Jack Bauer killed his own daughter, even for a guy like me that's cold. It's funny how he ended up doing what none of you were able to do. Despite this, Jack Bauer will come for his child, still thinks she can be redeemed. And you all know what he's capable of.

Nina: You really think you can help us kill Jack Bauer?

Joker: I'm a man of my word. For example, I promised Kim here revenge.

.

Before they could react Kim took out a gun and shot Ira Gaines and Victor Drazen in the head. Nina Myers had more time to react and ducked under the table, grabbing her own gun in the process. Kim took cover in case Nina fired on her. Hendeson and Fayed were startled, but the Joker was the calmest person in the room.

.

Joker: This is between the ladies, let's let them work it out between ech other.

Kim: Nina killed my mother, she needs to die. Drazen and Gaines kidnapped me, participated in my mother's death.

Nina: I want him dead too. We need to work together.

Kim: Yeah maybe. Okay, temporary truce. If it's over, and we're both still standing, we fight a duel or something.

Nina: But we have a truce until then right?

Kim: Yeah, truce until then. Neither of us kill anyone else on our team.

Nina: Agreed.

.

With that Kim and Nina came out and shook hands.

.

Kim: One more thing, who did you work for?

Nina: Myself. I was originally a soviet agent named Yelena. I was recruited to be a deep cover mole in America, infiltrate the american intelligence community, given the identity of Nina Myers. Then the Soviet Union collapsed, and I became a mercenary.

Kim: Those people who tried to help you escape when your cover was blown?

Nina: Old friends from training. We all knew that communism might soon collpse, so we agreed to help each other out when neccessary, escape plans and things like that. Like you, I'm adaptable.
