PLEASE READ THIS NOTE! Hello to all! So sorry I'm always taking so long with these updates but I'm really hoping that I can get on a regular uploading schedule soon! I really hope I can but never fear I absolutely do NOT want to give up on this story so it will never be abandoned.
I also apologize that this chapter is so much shorter. I try to write really long chapters for you but I really wanted to just get this up and posted so you don't think I've given up on this story and I also wanted to get you opinion on something.
Do you guys want one more chapter before I go to the events of the movie or do you want me to do a time skip and get on with the movie? Also a few of you were wondering if I'm going to bring the Cullen's in and I have plans to bring them in later so be prepared for that ;) and I also noticed that some of you were wondering if Charlie would come looking for Bella, the kidnapper has only sent his livestream to the Gotham media and since Gotham in canonically so crime ridden I don't think they would broadcast to the country. Also please give suggestions on what you think I should do with Charlie? Do you want him to still be in Bella's life even though she will be living a life of crime now or at least living with the crime? If you guys want me to do the time skip I can still work in their relationship if that's what you want.
"Find me." It echoed across almost every T.V. screen in Gotham, all watching this girl get tortured, some wishing that they could help others not caring at all. The Joker watched as his Baby looked directly at him and said those words, knowing that they were just for him, he knew that she was with him, that she knew he was on his way. He would stop at nothing until his Baby was back in his arms and then he would let no one take her from his. No one would dare to touch what he owned, he would rain hell down on Gotham. "I'm coming Baby." He growled out, hoping that she would hear him, even though he could see that she had fallen unconscious. "How long?" He growled at the drivers.
"About ten minutes."
"Soon Baby, soon..."
Batman looked at the display as the woman whispered those words and made a promise that she would get out of there alive, no matter what it took, she would survive and be alright. "ETA is fifteen minutes." a voice rang out of his speakers. Batman tightened his hands on the wheels and steeled himself for a fight.
Bella blinked slowly back to consciousness feeling battered and bruised and just horrible. But she couldn't help but smirk with the knowledge that Mr J was on the way and he wouldn't stop until there was nothing left of this place. A hand tangled in her hair and yanked her head back. "What are you smiling at bitch?" The man yelled in her face.
"I was just thinking about the pain that you're going to be in soon." She smiled dazed, her eyes unfocused not really seeing what was in front of her.
The man snorted. "What do you think anyone is going to find you? It looks to me like no one cares that you're missing. No calls to me or the news doesn't look like there's any police activity going on. Even all the people watching this don't give a shit about you!"
Bella just let the spiteful words wash over her, she knew the truth. She could see the truth her Joker would never allow her to stay here like this, neither would Harley. She just had to hold on until they got here and then this man would be dead. "Fuck off!" She said and spat in the man's face.
"Bitch!" he let go of her hair and walked back to his controls and lit her up again. The screams the bitch let out were music to his ears. When he first started this, he was hoping to make some great cash out of this and hopefully be able to finally join the Joker as a partner. Now that he knew that he wasn't getting any money out of this he was just having a grand time frying the freak. Hopefully this stunt could get him closer to the Clown Prince and he could prove that he was someone worth having around.
As Bella was screaming she somehow connected with her Mr J again. The Joker's head was filled with screams, Baby's screams. "Faster!" He yelled out.
"Mr J?" Harley asked as she seen her Puddin' get even more pissed off.
"Baby is in my head. I can hear her screamin'! No one is allowed to hurt our Baby!" The Joker growled out.
Harley's hands tightened on her bat. "You heard my Puddin', faster!" she shouted.
The vehicle sped up even more and the driver said, "Three minutes."
"Get ready boys!" The Joker said with a chilling smirk.
The vehicle screeched out in front on an abandoned warehouse and immediately everyone jumped out and headed towards the doors. The Joker gave a signal and his men blew the doors apart.
The electrocution suddenly stopped as the doors of the building were blown apart and Bella hanging limply in her chair turned to look and could just make out her lovers. The relief she felt flow through her body brought tears to her eyes. There they were, ready to bring her back to them.
The Joker strolled into the building eyes immediately zooming in on his Baby. There she was looking at him with tears in her eyes. Tied up in the chair like some sort of animal. He let loose a growl and focused on the man who took her. He was staring at the Joker with a smirk on his face. "Look at this ladies and gentleman, the Clown Prince himself! Now you're all in for a real treat!"
At his words the Joker was reminded that this was being filmed. A truly terrifying smirk crawled across his face as he walked to where the camera was and got in the lens. "Well, well, well look and see what all these people are watching! Look at all of you glued to your screens staring as torture is happening right before your eyes! You call me the monster but look at all of you!" He let loose a cackle before he stepped back from the camera. "I work in private." He said before shooting the camera.
All across Gotham people were staring at their screens, wondering if they could have done more to help that poor girl, the Joker's words ringing uncomfortably in their minds before they tried to shrug it off and go about their days. Batman watched the newest development and tightened his hands on the wheel in rage and stepped on the gas. "ETA is five minutes." He would not allow the Joker to torture this poor woman any more than she had already been.
The Joker looked away from the broken camera to where the man was standing. "And you over there. Cocky aren't we? Taking what doesn't belong to you."
The man shifted. "I'm not sure what you mean."
"You made a big mistake today! She is mine!" He growled out before shooting at the man, getting him in the shoulder.
He went down with a scream of pain. "I didn't know!"
Harley sauntered over to him and put her baseball bat on his wound and leaned on it, causing the man to scream out in even more pain. "You didn't ask either! Just took. And hurt our Baby. Mister the pain you're about to be in..." She trailed off and she lifted her bat and swung it down on his shoulder hard enough to crack something.
"I'm sorry! Please stop!" The man was screaming and crying.
"Look at that Puddin'! Look at him crying and begging. I don't think Baby ever cried and pleaded like this. What a wimp, can dole it out but can't take it."
The Joker prowled closer to the two and crouched down, grabbed one of his fingers before snapping it backwards. Another scream went up in the air. "We're just getting started." he promised with a dark smile.
Batman pulled up outside the warehouse and jumped out of his vehicle and swooped into the building worried about the screams he was hearing. Walking in he assessed the situation, seeing the girl tied to the chair still but she wasn't the source of the screams. The Joker and Harley were kneeling next to someone and that was the person that was screaming. "Look who's joined the party!"
"Batsy, batsy, batsy." Harley said.
"Come to be the knight in shining bat armor?" The Joker cackled out as he stood and faced his enemy.
"I won't let you hurt this girl anymore!"
The Joker spread his arms wide. "Does it look like I'm hurting her? In fact it looks like I've done the police's job and found the poor thing." He clicked his tongue. "Poor Baby torture is hard to take." He said lightly as he seethed on the inside of this unwelcome visit.
"Hasn't she been hurt enough!" Batman shouted at the deranged clown.
"I think you need to get your bat eyes checked. I'm pretty sure I'm not the one hurting her."
"Like you were going to let her go after this." Batman said as he walked over to the semi conscious girl and went to unchain her.
"Don't touch her." The Joker growled and prowled closer.
Batman prepared for an attack as he continued to try to unchain the girl. "When I get you unchained, run as fast as you can." Batman whispered.
"I said not to touch her!" The Joker now shouted as he reached for Batman to yank him away. He managed to get him away but Batman was prepared for this so he immediately started to fight back. "Harl, get her!" Joker shouted. Harley went to grab Bella but Batman quickly spun and managed to shoot something at her and trapped her against the wall. The Joker growled in annoyance at the stupid bat. He just wanted his Baby.
Bella struggled to come to full consciousness, struggled to lift her lids. Everything hurt so bad but she knew that she needed to wake up. Her Joker and her Harley were here, they had come for her! She needed to see them! Finally getting her eyes to open she had to blink a few times to get them to focus and then blink some more to take in the scene in front of her. Harley was somehow trapped against the wall and Mr J was fighting Batman! No he would hurt her Mr J and take him away! Him and Harley! No, no, no. "No, no, no, no!" She didn't realize she was talking out loud until she was screaming the words. At once everyone stopped, unable to move. Batman was frozen in his attack on the Joker, wondering what was happening. Surely the girls powers weren't that strong!
The Joker was pissed. Baby was scared and there was nothing he could do about it. Damn Batman coming in to ruin the day. Bella looked over at the Joker and Batman and, not realizing that she had stopped everyone yet, screamed in fear. Her scream sending out a shock wave through the building. Sending everyone flying back and breaking her chains. She was finally free! Bella collapsed onto the floor and sat there a moment breathing in heavily, before she started to crawl her way to the Joker.
She reached him just as everyone started to move around again. "Mr J..." She whispered.
The Joker grabbed her arm and closed his eyes in relief. "Let her go Joker!" A voice commanded.
Batman was still slumped against the wall hanging onto consciousness by a thread but still trying to help her. Bella got out of the Joker's hold and ignored his growl and crawled over to Batman. "You are a very brave man but Mr J is mine, Harley is mine! I just got them back and I don't want to be torn from them. Thank you for being concerned for me but he came for me, not to hurt me." As Bella was whispering to Batman Joker got up and got Harley up, and they made their way back over to Baby as Batman answered.
"You don't know what he's like. He'll hurt you the first chance he gets and throw you away when he doesn't need you anymore. Please. I don't want you to hurt." He pleaded.
Bella just smiled and leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek, once again ignoring the growl above her, "You're so kind."
The Joker reached down a hand. "Baby." Bella took it and he hauled her up in his arms. "Time to go home." Bella just nodded and leaned against his chest and passed out.
The Joker looked down at Batman. "She's mine, no one hurts what's mine." He growled to the man before he passed out. "You there!" He yelled at one of the men that came with them. "Grab that scumbag if he's still alive and chain him up in the basement.!"
"Yes sir." The man walked over and checked on the man that kidnapped Bella. "He's alive. I'll get him to the basement for you, boss."
The Joker and Harley walked out and started to make their way home.
I hope you all enjoyed and I once again apologize for the time this took and for the shortness. Please leave a review and let me know what you think and what you think of the questions I asked in the above AN. Love you all!
