Chapter 19
No one told me what to do. Not even The Joker. I know he was used to getting his way. Harley was an okay chick but at the end of the day, she was a doormat. She was weak. I honestly had no clue why this man was still wasting his time with me. I think half the reason he was so obsessed with Harley was because he knew he could navigate her. So what was it about me that kept him around? I honestly wasn't sure. But it didn't matter. I did what I want, how I want and when I want.
"This is not gonna go well Luna. He is going to be so pissed. At BOTH of us!" Crimson yelled as I carted my sniper rifle with me.
"So? He is not OUR boss. Now you know the plan. You take out Kane's crew from up here, then I sweep in and grab Kane. Hopefully J and the rest of his guys are so confused they aren't watching too closely. I will have to be quick." I said. This was going to be so much fun. J wouldn't be pleased. He hated when people took his revenge acts from him. But this was more my revenge than his. I wasn't completely close to my Dad, but I loved him. He was blood. I had to do this. We got to the top level of the parking garage that was overlooking the street that J and Kane were facing off. I saw Kane and his crew waiting in their cars a few yards away.
"Nice. Okay J will be here any minute now. I gotta haul ass down there if I want to snatch up Kane in time." I said. I handed Crimson the sniper rifle. She was an excellent shot so I trusted her to do the job right. She nodded and took it from before she got situated.
I ran as fast as I could down the parking garage levels. My plan was to wait around the corner of the parallel building and when shit goes down, I run out and grab him. I looked over the corner and saw a black van pull up. Kane and about five guys get out and stand at attention. I saw Frost and J get out first.
"Kane! Glad you make it. I've so been looking forward to making you swallow your own tongue. Makes me smile!" He laughed while flashing his grin. I rolled my eyes. Get on with it babe. I knew he was going to pissed. May even try to kill me. But he didn't scare me.
" God you are one smug bastard." Kane said. J cackled.
"So i've been told." J said. "I'm sure your brother thought so too before I put a bullet between his eyes." J taunted. Kane tensed.
"That's it." Kane reached for his piece and before anything else could happen, Crimson was firing. She took out all five of Kane's men. J and his guys backed up and looked up trying to figure out who was shooting. I made my move and darted to the right of Kane. I tackled him and held him by his neck.
"Let me go you bitch!" Kane choked out. I laughed.
"Not a chance." I growled into Kane's ear. I saw J roll his eyes crack his neck in frustration.
"God Damnit Luna! I told you to stay home! Is it impossible for you to listen to simple instructions and follow them?" He said sarcastically. I scoffed.
"Oh sit on it and spin, J. What made you honestly think I would let you have him?" I yelled back from across the street. Frost pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head. Yeah I know this is typical Luna and Joker nonsense but it is what it is.
Just as he was getting ready to threaten to knock me on my ass, I saw this figure emerge from the sky. It hit me hard in the chest and I fell back. I lost my grip on Kane and before I could grab him, he was scurrying away like a little bitch. I struggled against the black mass that had me by the throat. I looked up and saw his face. Batman. He was looking into my eyes and burning through me. My anger rose and I fought hard against him. I was able to get away for a brief second and I started to run towards J should have been. But he was gone. Crimson was on the roof looking at me for instructions. I motioned for her to leave. She nodded and darted out of sight. I should not have been surprised that J left me there. But I was.
"Bats. How the hell are you still alive?" I sighed out.
"A team of highly paid doctors. You and your boyfriend put me in a hospital bed for two months. Time to even the score." He said in a low tone. I rolled my eyes.
"You think I am scared of you Wayne?" I growled. I charged at him and then everything went blurry. I tried to keep going but then everything went black.
I woke up in a hospital bed to which I was handcuffed to. I was really tired of people knocking me out. I yanked my hand up and heard the cuffs jingle against the bed rail. Fuck.
"Ah, Ms. Cee. Glad to see you are awake." I heard a familiar voice say to me. I look over and saw Commissioner Gordan staring at me.
"Where am I?" I asked groggily.
"The new and improved Arkham Asylum. Since you and your other half decided to destroy Gotham's only mental facility, we had to work quickly. Do you like it?" He asked. I looked around and it looked like the shit hole it was before. Just some brighter paint on the walls.
"Not really. Still smells like formaldehyde." I said with a disgusted look on my face. Gordon laughed.
"Ah Luna. You're funny, just like your mother was." Gordon said. There were rumors that Commissioner Gordon and my mom had an affair while she was married to my Dad. I guess it could have been possible.
"Yeah yeah. So what do you want Gordon?" I asked.
"Well Luna I am glad you asked. I know you hate being in here. I know about your power being taken away by Kane Leeg. I also know that you know where your Clown Prince is hiding out now-a-days. I'll make you a deal, you give us the address to his headquarters, I will get you out of here. Deal?" He said raising an eyebrow.
"I'm no rat." I said sternly.
"Luna, what do you owe this man? Do you realize his whole master plan to get Harley Quinn back? We have it under good authority that his main agenda is to destroy the former team that Amanda Waller created and force Quinn back into his crew." Gordon said. I shook my head.
"No. No way. He wants nothing to do with Harley Quinn. She made her choice when she chose the Squad over him. He accepted that and moved on. I would know if that was what he was really after. I am his partner, how wouldn't I have found out by now?" I asked. While I sat here and argued, a small part of me had doubts about my Clown Prince's intentions.
"Listen, I know you care for him Luna. Or whatever it is you psychos are capable of feeling. But he is using you. Just think about what I said. I will be back later to check on you." Gordon said as he got up and left. I laid there in a rage. If The Joker was using me to get to Harley Quinn, i'd kill him. For real this time.
