I started a joke.

Gotham's rogues gallery was changing. With the old rogues considering that maybe it was high time they retire and move on with their lives there was simply the matter of passing on the torch to the next one.

Of course one of the many was a very obvious one and that was J'J the next… well Joker.

He was going to let the legacy run on for generations, his father would not die forgotten.

Now was J'J really Joker's son? It was a mystery in itself, Harley and Joker, when he was alive, both claimed it to be fact and J'J had aspects of himself that looked like Joker but was he really his flesh and blood… it was hard to tell.

Now he was old enough, in fact he was 19 now he was aloud in the adult's ward and everyone avoided him like the plague, which was good for a rep but bad when it came to having fun.

Then he saw her, sitting in the corner of the room, all on her own, reading as perusal in the dark. It was amazing she didn't need glasses now because of all the bad lighting she read her books in.

He slowly stuttered his way over to her before running and leaping into a slide to slide right in front of her, grinning.

She didn't even acknowledge his existence.

He frowned before smirking slightly. "My dark angel of sadistic beauty!" he cried making Luna look up at him over her book. "It has been too long!"

"Not long enough."

"Why so harsh?" J'J pouted. "Surly you've missed little old me?"

"You would think that, but no," she answered bluntly before going back to her book.

"That book can't be more interesting in me, surly."

"Remind me why I'm going out with you again?"

He smiled and sat next to her on the sofa. "My shining personality, opposites do attract after all."

Luna Fright did not look impressed. It was safe to say that anyone could tell J'J had to work hard to gain her affection, Luna didn't give it out for free, you always had to earn it and that was a difficult task.

"You do realise that if Jonathan comes in here and finds you talking to me, he will not be happy," Luna stated as she took a side ways glance at him.

J'J shrugged. "Eh, let old Scaredycrow think what he likes, soon, even he won't dare to cross me."

Luna didn't look impressed, if anything she looked bored and tired, but that came with being in the adult ward, all the others were there and they were not known for being quiet.

"You do realise that out of Arkham we'll be rivals?"

"Or partners in crime."

"You'd like that wouldn't you?"

"Yes."

Luna smiled but it was brittal and had no feeling behind it. "Keep dreaming."

J'J's smile left his face and he frowned at her before huffing and turning away from her. "So… whats been going on while I've been detained in the baby ward?"

"I don't think the others will appreciate you calling them babies."

"Well they are!"

Luna sighed and tilted her head to the side. "Most of them are only one year younger then us."

"Children," J'J deadpanned before he grinned at her. "We're the next generation of nutso, darling, do you like that idea? I freaking love it!"

"I can tell."

"Wow, sound more enthusiastic about it, I dare you!"

Luna glared at him harshly, her eyes going slowly black as her anger took over and the shadows began to crawl out of her eyes ever so slightly.

J'J gulped and held his hands up in defence. "Okay, okay, turn off the darkness and let the light shine, sheesh woman!" he threw his arms up. "Its bad enough I have to share a head with all the dark little voices up here," he tapped his temple and grinned. "Don't need you going all dark angel on me, as much as I like a girl who plays rough, I have no need to visit the hospital wing."

"That's a shame," Luna said a little too sweetly, in fact her voice was verging on syrupy. "I'd be more then happy to get you there."

"I know, that's what I'm afraid of."

She turned back to her reading and J'J glanced at her before a smirk wound its way up his face and he stretched out, laying his arm around her shoulders and Luna tensed slightly before she relaxed and began to continue reading.

They stayed like that for a while before J'J wrapped his arms around her waist and pulling her closer.

Luna tensed even more before she clenched her book as tightly as possible.

Human contact was not something she was used to and she had yet to decided if she liked it or not.

"J'J…" she hissed and J'J giggled before stroking her hair.

"Relax, just enjoy the moment, I'll be quiet, promise!"

"Hm. Fine."

They stayed like that for some time, neither moving simply enjoying each other's company in silence, at least until a dark shadow fell over the both of them.

They looked up and J'J blanched at the sight of Jonathan Crane who was glaring down at him.

Luna seemed to be oblivious to the stare of death that Crane was directing at her boyfriend and smiled up at him kindly. "Good morning, Jonathan."

"Good morning little one," Jonathan replied with a smile before it turned back into a glare at J'J. "What is he doing here?"

"Adult ward now, spooky," J'J grinned pushing his luck with the older and far more dangerous rogue. Said rogue raised one singular eyebrow at his response before he turned to Luna and smiled slightly.

"Luna, dear, do you mind fetching me the Poe book? You were the last person who had and I seem to be unable to locate it."

Luna smiled and stood up. "I'll find it, you stay here."

Jonathan nodded and smiled, all teeth and they were sharp like razors as he turned his attention towards the younger clown and it turned into a snarl.

J'J smiled sheepishly back. He wasn't quite ready to mess with the Scarecrow on his turf just yet.

"Well, I'll leave you two book worms alone," J'J said clapping his hands together as he stood, but he yelped in surprise as a book slammed on the table in front of them.

His eyes widened as he read the letters on the front… P, o, e… oh dear…

He suddenly felt two incredibly bony hands on his shoulders, gently crushing his shoulder blades.

"Let me make one thing perfectly clear," Jonathan snarled into his ear as he stood just behind him. "Luna is very important to me and I would be… very displeased if she got hurt," he squeezed his shoulder painfully and dug his fingers in to make a point. "Very displeased."

"I.. I understand."

"Good," with that he let him go and picked the book up before settling himself down on the sofa.

J'J span around and stared at him for a long time before he began to walk off when Jonathan called to him again.

"And if you disrespect me again, boy," he hissed out the last bit and put emphasis on it. "The hospital wing his right down the hall."

THE END.

Note: So there we have it, a little bit of J'J, who doesn't love a little bit of J'J? Anywhoo, requests are still open, so don't forget to put in your requests ready for the grand finale of this series.
