Chapter XV: Speak to me Harley
Johnny, in his elegant black suit and his classic dark glasses tucked into the front pocket of his jacket, patiently waited standing by the door of the mansion. The clock told him that it was not long before he called ten o'clock at night; they were in no hurry to get to Harley's favorite club and his boss and the night seemed to harbor a certain atmosphere of tranquility; especially after knowing that they could quickly find the whereabouts of Doble S; According to close sources of information. Johnny considered that everything in the environment let him glimpse that things would become "normal" in the life of his boss, the most feared villain of the Gothic city.
The wait for Johnny ended, when he saw the queen clown down the stairs excitedly in a short bright red dress with black inverted hearts, "Ace of poker" and Johnny thought his dress could not be more successful... But something else caught Johnny's attention apart from the many and exaggerated jewels worn by the crazed woman of his boss. There was a special glow on Harley's well-made face, a strange, charming flash peeked into her clear eyes making her look more beautiful than it was and Johnny could not decipher exactly what it was... and something disturbingly around his mind, but it could not be that... and he preferred to think that maybe it was due to the undeniable happiness that she felt when she was back home.
"What's the matter, Johnny? Are you going to stand there?" Harley grabbed Johnny's cheek "let's go!" She walked out the door with a big smile.
Johnny watched his boss close the door of his room with his particular dress and ostentatiously thick gold jewelry making him think that Harley and J definitely could not complement each other better in every way...
The neon lights of the Lamborghini had once again become pink and blue, illuminating the shadows of the night in the darkness of the long road. Behind them were followed by the black Ford van driven by Johnny trying to follow the speed of the vehicle in front of him.
"We're going Puddin! MAKE IT ROAR!" Harley pulled half of her torso through the window, clamping down on the sides of the vehicle.
A crooked smile from the Joker and the powerful engine made the noise that Harley wanted to hear while her long hair swayed in the wind of the night with a big smile without feeling the danger of her act. Only the enjoyment and fun in the incomparable adrenaline that enveloped them both was the connection enough to know that they could not be without each other.
The lamborghini went into the center of the city passing through the main square of Gotica full of large walnut trees and all the people who enjoyed a walk on a Friday night. Harley's attention was diverted to a couple holding hands that walked quietly down the sidewalk.
"Byyyyyeeee!" was the only thing she managed say to them with her outstretched arm before the lamborghini was quickly lost from the sight of the astonished couple. Harley went back into her seat crossing her arms and looked at J who was driving concentrated.
"Who wants to be normal? Normal is boring!... Right?" Joker kept driving.
"Yeah... well... it is... normality binds people in everyday lives taking away the true meaning of living..."she looked at him out of the corner of her eye "life without limits... the fun..."
"Yes..."
"I thought I had told you many times..."
"Oh... I know Puddin, but I love it when you say it!" Harley gave him a flirtatious look and went back out the window looking the whole way with real joy "wiiiiiii"
Harley did not wait for Joker to park in the parking lot next to the other two black SUVs in which the men who worked for him moved. She got out quickly with a hand in her mouth and with her face denoting anguish ran quickly to the entrance of the club through some disguised looks of the few people talking around in their ostentatious luxury cars.
"MOVE UP!" She shouted, and the two guards at the door quickly stepped aside, opening the way for a desperate queen to enter the bathroom due to the nausea she felt at that minute with all the quick walk her Puddin had given her.
Johnny looked at everything without understanding getting out of the truck and then he was struck by a lamborghini almost identical to his boss but the body of this was painted with a flashing silver and red details. Johnny did not notice that the vehicle's patent read "SI-SN 22" and started to walk annoyed towards the two guards with Z who accompanied them carrying an M249 machine gun in his right hand.
"How's the night going?" Johnny asked coldly, staring at the floor as J approached.
"Without news, everything is fine" Z answered.
"Yes?... I thought I had indicated that everyone..." Johnny sponsored with annoyance, but could not finish, his boss appeared in front of them and Z looked at him shaking his head in assent
"Boss" he greeted him.
Joker stood next to him with a cold expression and said
"Are you all aware of the presence of Doble S in the city?"
Z replied
"Yes Boss."
And Johnny grimaced in disgust. He knew at what point J would arrive.
"Oh... Perfect!" Joker exclaimed with a machiavellian smile making the fingers dance in his hands and Z nodded slightly. However in a second Joker he dropped his neck back and returned with a disturbed look with a terrifying voice.
"Tell me Z..." he made a deliberate gesture with his left hand "this has logic for you... that the snake doesn't take long to make his next move?" Z was silent to feel the tension in the environment to what Joker asked him "mmm?"
"Yes, it makes sense..." he answered "why... why do you ask it boss?" he dared to ask.
"Because I don't see enough control in the entrance!" Joker shouted followed by an animal sound and immediately grabbed Z strongly from the shirt who dropped the machine gun at his feet "maximum security" he said intimidating him face to face with his metal smile, he let him go and slid his fingers down his face. Z swallowed hard
"Yes boss, immediately" he answered him, soon to bend down to take the machine gun in the floor; he could not reach it, Joker stepped on the fingers of his hand without compassion watching the machine gun on one side of him.
"I forgot to mention; everyone must have one of these" Joker glanced at the two guards who carried weapons, which were not basic, but were not "good enough" for Joker. He continued to exert pressure on Z's fingers.
"I Understand boss, I'll take care of that" he heard him say with a slight tone of pain and Joker finally stopped stepping on him to turn his back and said with his face tilted to the right raising the frame of his eyes.
"If something happens tonight... you will die..." then he looked at Johnny by his side "Frost!... one hour" he ordered with his raised finger before moving towards the sector V.I.P.
"Get up idiot, there's work to do" Johnny told him cursing him with his eyes for not having followed his previous indications while taking his cell phone to make a couple of calls.
The club was almost at full capacity that day; it was almost a ritual to find the spacious venue this way every Friday and Saturday night with the music resounding in a magnetic rhythm, dancing to the majority of people. Glamor and fun were breathed into the atmosphere while with the loud background music everyone's conversations became whispers talking about trivia and flirting among them with abundant sparkling glasses in their hands while they were illuminated by the club's full golden lighting.
Harley ran through the people who enjoyed her Puddin's club and she ran into the bathroom without suspecting and less aware that an enigmatic masked young man with clear eyes close to honey watched her stealthily from one corner of the club.
"Hey you, shouldn't you be dancing? Move on" said one of the club's guards, which the young man replied.
"In a moment, before I must go to the bathroom."
"They don't pay you to go to the bathroom, hurry up and start dancing... bitch..." the guard insulted him, looking at the front of his short silver hair that rose with abundant gel while the rest was black and somewhat shorter.
"Wow idiot... only women dye their hair... sure this man was born on reverse..." the guard muttered before leaving for the bar. The young man looked at him sideways with a half smile on his face, before approaching the women's bathroom. He waits a few minutes to the side of the door when Harley finally came out with a hand on his forehead.
"Nausea?" He asked kindly and she turned to him with a frown.
"Yes, how did you know?"
"I saw you running self-conscious and I guessed..." the young man took a chewing gum from the pocket of his shiny golden pants and offered it "do you want some?... the taste of vomit is something unpleasant in the mouth of a beautiful young lady"
"No, thank you, I have mine" Harley took the fresh mint chewing gum from his wallet and put it in his mouth. "Bitch!" It passed through the young man's mind beside her. After making a balloon Harley looked at him strange-hum, for your mask I see that you are one of the new dancers.
"Yeah, I'm Yerik, they contract me today."
"Oh Cool! It's a name out of the ordinary... Nice to meet you Yerik!... Harley Quinn!..." She held out her hand with a nice smile.
"I would be a fool if I didn't know who you are..." Yerik said hiding the irony in his words and instead of shaking Harley's hand he took it firmly and gave her a contradictory soft kiss. She immediately turned her away with a face of hatred.
"If you know who I am, you should know who my owner is" She said between her teeth annoyed and Yerik thought "I see that they have you well trained..."
"I'm sorry if it bothers you, I just tried to be nice with you"
"Sorry... I'm a little irritable" Harley laughed with a smile "but seriously, I warn you... my Puddin can be quite jealous!"
"I do not doubt, it has its reasons..."
"What do you mean?
"You are very beautiful, Harley... I wish you could say the same about me at this moment..." Yerik murmured who behind his mask hid a deep cross section on his face.
"Hey... don't say that!... you look like a pretty attractive guy... I mean, you can tell you are in spite of the mask" Harley turned her gaze to the silver hair of his short bangs that pointed upwards "in addition, your hair is very original! You must draw a lot of attention among the girls!"
"Well yes... you could say that I was getting enough attention this last time... "With more than half a city looking for me..."
"Time? That's the attitude! "Harley smiled at him "well! See you!" she was about to turn around when she approached him and whispered very close to her "don't forget to dance without touching... or my Puddin will get angry..."she turned away from him and with a wink put her finger in her mouth
"Ssshhhhh... don't worry, I was warned very much not to touch the beautiful... queen."
"Thank you! Apart from cute you are kind! Ah!... and try not to overshadow a lot of doll or I could break your head in two!"She gave a mad laugh before leaving with a kiss on the cheek.
"I'll be delighted that you shine red this crazy bitch tonight" Yerik; alias Double S took the cellphone out of his pocket and indicated his new men
"We'll continue with plan B. I want you all ready in less than an hour" He cut off and get lost in the hallway that led to the dressing rooms of the club dancers.
Twenty minutes later… From the door of the V.I.P sector, Johnny watched his boss who, as on countless occasions did not separate his watchful gaze from the hips of Harley that danced for him more meters already in her golden cage while not paying enough attention the new brown-haired mafioso partner in a leather jacket as well as the gloves that hid his hands and a cross-shaped silver chain that hung long by his neck.
Joker listened to the words that came from the mouth of the man trying to make new business with him without thinking that this man was part of the plan that had Double S to carry out the totality of his revenge. The King of Gotham did not suspect that that night the serpent was going to materialize one of his most hidden nightmares lodged deep in his memory, a memory locked in a thousand locked padlocks. Double S would finally open the door to make him relive a pain so great that it had taken him to make the murderous maniac nemesis of Batman that he was; Harley looked really beautiful that night dancing and J looked at her with that cold, protective look, shooing the typical and annoying blowflies that fell prey to the honey she gave off with her lovely and dramatic dance moves... The queen danced at a very marked rhythm with her whole body, showing all her attributes in the gym, emanating an adorable electrifying magnetism.
The man in the leather jacket while talking to J looked at Harley without dissimulation, he was perfectly aware of what that would cause in J and that was just what he was looking for. To infuriate the joker that surely with a whistle would call his girl to bury him that was his under his own game of fun ... That whistle, would announce the attack to the queen.
"Joker... will you participate in the business I'm offering you?" the man looked away from Harley for a moment "is a good opportunity to expand the business to... foreigner" the man saw her doing a magnificent wheel. Although this was part of the plan, he had also fallen captive by its curves. It was not necessary for her to undress in an erotic dance like a stripper; it was another kind of bewitching magnetism that emanated.
"Look at me..." Joker snapped his fingers twice and the man finally turned his gaze away from his girl "if you intend to make an agreement with me..." Joker ran two hands through his hair and continued "the first thing you should do is turn your eyes... Don't you think so? HA HA HA HA" Joker cackled, showing him the mocking smile tattooed on his left hand.
"I ... I was not looking at J..." the man babbled truly intimidated.
"You try to lie to me?" J's eyes showed an insane look and then he spoke making his hand shake in front of him "your pants... he tells me otherwise"
"No, I..." It was true, the heat he felt was obvious-that's not ... -the man did not hesitate to shut up when Joker suddenly got up from the white sofa approaching him while talking to him.
"Well... now listen... I'll tell you what I think... lying would not make sense to you... if you tell me the truth you will not perceive it as a danger... right?" J was in front of him shaking him by the shoulders.
"Yes..." he answered fearfully and Joker released him to exclaim vigorously with his arms open and his fists closed.
"OH THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD DIE OF DESPAIR AND BOREDESS WITHOUT THE LIES!"
"You mean... you understand me?" He asked and Joker gave him a murderous look.
"Don't be wrong" J took the man's face with both hands out a malevolent smile-that was not what I meant ... "He purred threateningly burying his fingers in the sweaty cheekbones of the man who at that time the only thing that began to matter It was leaving the club alive.
"Wait J, you have to listen to me... it's impossible not to look at her, your girl is beautiful, she moves those curves like a goddess whore... you understand me" he spoke with desperation, causing J's metallic smile to turn downwards and quickly release her face .
"Yes... she is... you want to see her more closely?" He murmured, pursing his mouth. "I'll show you his white skin." Joker put his fingers to his mouth and... he whistled. Harley danced with Double S at her side, she turned her back to him, raising her colored hair with her hands as she lowered sensually, rocking her hips. Double S followed the marked rhythm of looking at what was happening in the Vip section, waiting for the right moment to give J where it hurt the most and while he was also hypnotized by her movements, he reviewed his plan of revenge feeling increasingly impatient.
The whistle reached the ears of Double S and Harley; she stopped dancing to go quickly to her Puddin. She could not do it; Double S took her by the waist and put his arm around her neck. He whispered
"Quiet bitch... You see this?" he showed his ring "it'll kill you in a second if you make a damn move"
The looks of Double S and Johnny crossed in a second and he did not hesitate to alert his boss.
"Boss!" He shouted and J turned to see Harley surrounded by Double S arms.
Joker pulled out his gun by running the golden curtains while Johnny shot the man in the leather jacket, which had stupidly fallen to be the bait that Double S used to start his revenge. Johnny's shot alerted all of J's men who started running quickly around with the M249 machine guns that thanks to Johnny had managed to get their hands on in less than an hour. The music of the club was cut suddenly and many of the people ran between cries of frightened women.
"I'll just say it once... take your hands off Harley" Joker ordered and Harley yelled.
"PUDDIN!" Double S covered her mouth and slid his tongue down her cheek.
"You are not in a position to demand anything" several armed men broke into the club and pointed to Joker, just as his men also pointed to Double S.
"Oh yes?... Who says that? Double S? the baby snake? No... don't come to me with more games" Joker ran both hands through his green hair "you're going to let Harley go now or I swear by the gods of fucking hell you're going to suffer"
"I'll make it clear for the last time J, the game is not over until I say it... it's that simple. I have your whore now and I will not stop until I see you have completely fallen"
"Your pathetic revenge doesn't intimidate me."
"Don't say that... you're going to make the queen cry or you don't care to watch her die?" Double S squeezed Harley harder and his snake ring glimmered on her neck "because I can do it now ..." he shot her a warning glance, tilting the scales in his favor.
"NOO!" Joker yelled and the snake smiled "what is... what you want?"
"So I like... that you receive your guests well..." Double S began to laugh "we are going to start the fourth world war here with so many weapons"
"SPEAK! What do you want?!" Joker yelled exasperated while looking at Harley's scared eyes.
"You killed my mother J... she was all I had in my life, she was the only one that took care of me even though it was not blood of her blood... YES, she adopted me and changed the destiny of my life... but you..." Double S spoke between teeth inflamed by anger "you killed her"
"Look... your dramatic story... I CARE A SHIT!... LET HARLEY GO NOW OR I WILL TAKE YOUR SKIN SLOWLY" Joker pointed his gun at him in gold details.
"You'll make her kill her faster J, SO DON'T TELL ME LIKE THAT AND LOWER YOUR WEAPON!" Double S also shouted and Joker growled furiously, but he did not lower it "you keep pointing at me... it''s not very smart about your part Joker..." Double S slid his hand stealthily down his back in search of his hidden weapon while he spoke "I'll be brief for your impatience... you see... at first I thought of killing her instantly with a dose of my lethal poison... but then I thought my threat was not it would make sense ... if you do not see your harlequin bleed..."
Two shots were heard one close to the other, in a fast movement Double S pushed Harley with all his strength forward and shot him to death safely aiming directly at his heart. However, his shot was diverted further to the right when J's bullet struck first by hitting Double S on the arm just in time to deflect the bullet's path. Harley collapsed on the floor with a cry of pain and in a Instantly she was enveloped in J's arms listening to endless machine-gun fire all around her.
"Puddin... I'm going to die?..." He had her firmly taken in despair.
"No, baby... you're not going to die... let's get that bullet out and everything will be fine baby..." J kissed his forehead. Then I hear Doble S laugh loudly with laughter.
"You may have deflected the shot but she will surely die" Double S took off the black mask that hid his scar and continued "you will see... you will suffer as much as me"
Joker put his eyes full of anger in Double S and then shouted furious
"Frost!" his right hand came immediately while shooting some of the men of Double S "take care of her" he ordered him and then looked at Harley "be quiet darling, Johnny will take care of you..."
Johnny held her head while Joker stood with his blood boiling to go after the snake. J gave a hard punch to Double S causing him to fall hard against the floor and he lunged at him taking him by the shoulders.
"I will let you know what it means really suffering... you will be so sorry... that you wish with all your soul to have swallowed your damn words "she will die"
"Oh... you can talk anything you want but that will not change the fact that you will pay..." J raised him from the shirt a few inches off the ground and gave him another punch by hitting his head.
"BOSS!" Johnny shouted "we cannot get Harley's bullet out, it's lodged very close to her left lung between her ribs! If we don't do something she will bleed!"
"I told you... but you were so blinded by anger" Double S spoke with blood from his venous mouth "who is going to suffer now?"
"If Harley dies I'm going to ... -Joker could not continue. He just made the point that if she got to die he made her feel a lump in her throat. She could not die.
"You'll do what? It's a race, Joker... it will be interesting to see how you try to save your precious queen... tick tack... time runs fast... you would be very lucky if you survive" Double S was still smiling.
"Boss! What will we do?" Johnny's voice made Joker reacts.
"I'll come back for you..." he spoke with a bitter and hoarse tone giving him a third punch before going for Harley.
"That... if you ever find me again" Double S thought haughtily putting on the mask again before getting lost among the men who were still shooting at each other. He took one last look watching Joker take Harley in his arms, he could not save her was what he thought knowing that the nearest hospital in Gotham was thirty five minutes, depending on traffic on a Friday night.
"I don't want to die, Puddin... don't let me die" Harley clutched J's neck tightly as blood soaked her shiny dress. The liquid touch of Harley's blood between his fingers brought a pain he had never experienced.
"Harls ... you're not going to die, Daddy is going to get you out of here now, baby..." Joker took a breath "you have to be still now okay?" she nodded and J looked at his right hand "how long it going to take Johnny?"
"We have from ten to fifteen minutes."
Joker whistled and his best men turned to see him as they continued firing. J made a gesture with his neck and everyone understood that they should go to the van right away, that's what they did while firing incessantly, eliminating all the Double S men in a massacre of bloody bodies on the floor.
Johnny rushed out the Ford truck with his boss and Harley in the back of the vehicle while being followed by the other two with all of J's men fully armed, reloading their weapons and donning their weird and iconic caricature suits. Johnny tried in all possible ways to move quickly between the cars but it was difficult, a challenge, despite the skill that was behind the wheel. Traffic on a Friday night in Gotica was chaotic, and her boss seemed immersed in a dark trance of anguish with Harley in his arms and she clinging to her biceps over her shirt that now looked more red than white. However before the distressing situation, he raised his voice.
"Boss, we have problems" Johnny said, watching the big traffic in front of him "the traffic is impossible and we don't have time to take a detour."
"And what are you waiting to tell them to clean the road?!" Joker exclaimed in anger and ran a hand through his hair with Harley in his lap. Johnny immediately took his cell phone to give the directions of his boss "go ahead and annihilate everything in his path"
In a matter of seconds the two vans came forward and the Joker's men, one with Venom's mask and the other with Batman's, came out through the windows and began to lash out with the cars in a wave of shots with the loud sound of the machine guns in their hands and the alarming cries of the people. The cars immediately began to open the way parking even in the sidewalks so as not to be destroyed by the flurry of shots without control while others collided with each other causing a complete disaster on the long main avenue of Gotham.
Harley began to close his eyes weakly just as his breathing was becoming softer as the grip of his hand that clung to J.'s biceps.
"Harley... look at me... open your eyes, baby... Open them!" Joker cried desperate but she seemed not to react "come on, baby... don't do this... Harley! Harley!" J's hands began to shiver nervously under his back as he bled to death "Harls... you have to make an effort..." Joker buried his face in his neck breathing his perfume mixed with the smell of blood "please..."
"Puddin..." Harley stroked the back of his hair opening her eyes slowly "you said please... I don't remember having heard you say that... never"
Joker's lungs filled with air again in the relief of hearing her speak. "It's true, baby... I said please..." J stroked her hair "now you can do something for me?"
"Yes."
"Don't close your eyes, baby... talk to me if... you have to talk to me and stay very still."
"Well... what... do you want me to tell you Puddin?"
"Tell me you love me."
"You already know that…"
"I know... but I want to hear it... speak to me Harley, you have to speak remember?"
"Yes, I... I love you, Puddin."
"Well... now, tell me you will not leave me."
"No... I'm going to ... leave you, never."
"Yes, never... you never have to leave me Harls..."
"I will not... right?"
"You will not, baby, because I will not let you die tonight."
"Kiss me..."
"I can't, you're going to close your eyes... and... I'll feel like you're saying goodbye."
"That... has... sense" Harley started to close her eyes again and J shook her slowly.
"Harls... keep talking to me."
"What else can I say?"
"Tell me... What did you think... the first time you saw me in Arkham... Can you remember?"
"Yes... I thought... I thought... you needed me..."
"You were right, baby... I need you... and do you know what Daddy needs now?"
"No..." Harley answered with difficulty."
"I need you to keep breathing for me... its part of your oath."
"Puddin... Can you... can you laugh for... me?"
"Harls... I told you, without farewells... I will not laugh until I see you well... there is no laughter if you do not laugh with me..."
"BOSS! WE ARRIVE!" Johnny shouted, turning back to quickly get out of the truck and open the door to J who had his hands bloody and busy holding Harley firmly. Joker watched for a few seconds the great Gotham hospital in front of him with all the people inside moving around busy fulfilling their work shifts.
"Harls, one more effort... let's go in and everything will be fine" Joker's eyes turned to Harley, to realize that he had his eyes closed again and ran down the stairs in front of him with his heart in his hand and with Johnny at his side following his footsteps he already had his gun pointed towards the front of the hospital glass.
The sliding door of the hospital opened and unexpectedly everyone saw the most feared villain of Gotham enter with his girl in his arms and upon entering, the men of J began to aim all the staff and patients who were totally shocked raising their arms and hiding with screams screaming throughout the hospital. The sick people began to hide behind the rows of waiting chairs watching as a panda man pointed them with a large machine gun, as did a man with a goat's head while the rest; Black Venom and white Venom, Batman, the man in pijamas and two men with a rectangular box on his head terrified all the nearest nurses and doctors at the hospital's inn, giving clear directions not to alert the police or end the life of all the patients in the hospital while shooting at computers, telephones and security cameras. The voice of a nurse with a gun to her head rang through the high speaker.
"Prohibited... call the police or... or... we are going to die."
But without a doubt, the authoritative overshadowed voice of the King of Gotham and his imposing presence of gangster look was what terrified the entire staff.
"The best doctor now."
"Please don't hurt me!" the horrified nurse cried and a dark-skinned doctor in the typical white coat told the nurse.
"Be quiet, I took care... Doctor Howard is in surgery at this moment, I..."
Johnny pointed it in the head.
"My boss said the best, now go and bring him."
"I'll go for him" the man said terrified to the bones "stabilize her and take her to the fifteenth corridor" he indicated to a couple of nurses, who ran with a stretcher to Joker, not knowing what to say to release Harley.
"Put it... here..." the nurse said who covered his mouth with a light blue mask like his suit. Joker deposited Harley on the stretcher "we... we will do the best we... "J could not let him finish his phrase because he pointed him on the head.
"Oh... if you think I'll go away from her you're wrong, now move!" Joker growled and the nurses began to run with the stretcher down the long corridor followed by J who kept shooting them in the head.
The nurses took Harley to the surgery room and began to prepare it quickly with all the previous procedures that are performed to perform the surgery under the watchful eye of J, who only moved away from her when Dr. Howard arrived with Jhonny pointing at him at the back. Joker suddenly took the elderly doctor in the white coat raising him a few centimeters from the floor and clung his forehead to his.
"You are going to save my baby's life or you will die sooner than you had planned..."
"I will... I will do everything in my power to save her," he said terrified.
"Great doctor, because just as you are an expert in surgery, I am an expert in other things...
"Yes... yes, I understand, now, let me go, the minutes are crucial" Joker released him and the man advanced to Harley surrounded by the medical team with an oxygen mask in his mouth. The words of the doctor made him feel truly aware that in only minutes the life of his harlequin would be extinguished like the smoke after a burning fire and roared of a devastating pain inside.
"Heart rate?"
"Stable, we are ready to perform the surgery when you indicate it, doctor" the nurse told him what the doctor looked at Joker and Jhonny.
"They have... to go out or I cannot concentrate" he told him and instantly Joker pressed with all his strength the tip of his gun to the doctor's chest.
"I'm going to have to do it doctor, because I'm not going to leave my baby..." the nurses' eyes widened with terror of seeing the doctor die at that moment, since J's look emanated an excessive anger. Then, for the peace of all, Jhonny grabbed the shoulder of his altered boss
"J, the doctor is right; you're going to have to leave her so he can save her" Joker stopped pushing and with an animal snarl under his gun, he pushed the doctor away and shoved Harley's hand and then left the Operations room wishing with all their strength that doctor could save the life of the only person who mattered to him in the world, for the time being.
Joker with his white shirt soaked in red blood walked back and forth down the hall in front of the door while his right hand was leaning against the wall waiting for the end of surgery. J's breathing was exaggerated, influenced by the restlessness and despair that he felt in every part of his being, the anguish was killing him in the tortuous waiting while Harley's voice echoed in his mind "I don't want to die Puddin... don't let me die..." Joker stretched his arms in front of the wall, his face declining. Every time he listened to her in his mind, he controlled with all his will the fervent desire to enter the Operating room and scream with all his might that she could not die... and Joker felt the pain, the fear, the terror of losing her forever, it was not like he had the damn power he had to rescue her from a fucking prison, no, this time he would never have her again and he did not know what would happen to him if that happened... he would sink in despair and affliction... he would go mad more than he already was, he would feel the cold again in his dark heart... and loneliness would hit him so hard that he was sure he could never be the same again.
Joker raised his face looking over his outstretched arm at the door a few steps away from him. Finally the doctor came out taking off the mask and Joker in a blink had his gun pressing the jugular in his neck.
"The surgery went well" the doctor spoke quickly leaning against the wall and Joker felt his soul revive-but she ... lost a lot of blood and is very weak"
Joker pressed his gun harder with a predatory and demented look talking to his metalized teeth.
"Say that she is fine doctor or I will pull the trigger at this time."
"Still... it's still too early to say its okay... it still has to recover... and... we don't know if both we're going to survive"
"That both of them? What... are you saying doctor? I don't understanding it well."
"Maybe... you don't know? I... I thought you knew it... you said "save my baby" and... and..." the doctor stutter.
"Know what? Speak clearly doctor, I'm becoming pretty impatient."
"Well... that... that she is... pregnant" the doctor's voice break the silence of the long corridor of white walls and gray ceramics of the Hospital.
