Chapter 10: The Joker's Back!
The rest of the Arkhamites were there, as Batman's fights with Clayface, Croc, and Scarface's men had led them to uncover the secret of the Underworld. He had led in most of the police force to clear the Underworld of Gotham's crooks.
"It was fun while it lasted," said the Riddler, now Edward Nygma.
"Such a shame it had to end so soon," said Selina Kyle, the unmasked Catwoman.
"I just hope Harley is all right," said Pamela.
Jonathon Crane, the Scarecrow, perked up.
"Look! It's Batman---and the Joker! He's still alive!"
Pamela looked disgusted.
The Joker grinned at his accomplices. They smiled and waved. A few cheered. The news spread like wildfire throughout the asylum.
"Joker's back!"
"Joker's back!"
"Joker's back!"
The Joker's grin never faded.
"It's great to be home!"
"Have a nice stay," said Batman, coolly.
"I will for now!"
Robin was there. He went up to Batman and whispered something in Batman's ear. Batman looked a bit surprised, but then smiled.
"I guess we can give her something to show our gratitude for at least attempting to save your life..."
Robin smiled, then left with Batgirl, while Batman took the Joker to a certain cell. He turned to the Joker.
"One hour, and that is all."
Behind the glass, Harley Quinn was there, still dressed in her black and red Harlequin outfit, as she had arrived only minutes before. She was sitting there on her bed, her eyes cast downward, her hands daintily placed in her lap, and her figure half-hidden in the shadows. She looked up as the cell opened, and the Joker walked in, smiling, looking as dashing as ever, despite the cuts he had received in his fall. He came up to her, and gently took her hand.
"Harley," he said, "can you ever forgive me?"
Harley gave him her most beautiful smile.
"Of course, Puddin'!"
She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately, smiling as she did. The Joker smiled and kissed her back, for at last, the empty space was full.
