Chapter 29

The rest of the night was sort of a blur. I couldn't tell if I was having the hottest night of my life or fighting for my life. By the time J was done with me I had bites, cuts, bruises and burn marks all over me. J had always been more on the kinky side but this was different. It was like my blood was doing something to him. Don't get me wrong, it was by far the best sex I had ever had. But J was different. He seemed to be more demanding, more violent and more possesive than usual. I decided to go have a little chat with Poison Ivy. I opened my eyes and tried to slowly get out of bed trying not to wake up J. He was sleeping like he was dead in a casket. I quietly put on some clothes and headed out of J's penthouse. I snuck past the guards at the entrance of our hideout and took off in my car. I didn't want J to know what I was doing.

I got to Poison Ivy's warehouse and noticed that the greenery had grown quite a bit since I saw it last. I walked past the ungodly huge plants that guarded her perimeter and heard Ivy yelling at someone in the back. I walked in the back room to see her yelling at one of her cronies who looked petrified. She stopped mid insult and rolled her eyes when she saw me.

"What do you want Luna?" She asked sounding frustrated. She waved her cronie away and he shuffled his feet quickly out of the room.

"I need to know what this toxin did to me." I said as I put my hands on my hips. She laughed.

"I saved your life. That's what it did." She said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes in defeat.

"Come on Ivy. What did it do to my blood?" I demanded. She lifted her hand to check out her long nails and got up.

"It did what it was supposed to do. It made you immune to any toxins that are absorbed." She said as she walked past me. "But I guess we can do a test to be sure that is all it did. Follow me." She said as she led me to her lab in the back. I felt my leg for my gun just for re-assurance. I still didn't trust Ivy.

"Sit." She ordered. I sat in the medical chair as she yanked my arm up to draw blood. She took about six vials then took the needle out. She went over to her lab equipment and started working.

"So why now? It's been a while since I gave you this gift. Why are just now questioning it?" She asked as she looked into her microscope. I was hesitant but if I wanted answers, I would have to tell her the truth.

"J. He gets like...drunk off of my blood. He craves it almost." I said. She turned around.

"Is it just him?" She asked curiously.

"I'm not sure actually." I said feeling sort of stupid that I didn't test it out. She snapped her fingers and one of her love sick cronies came in.

"Drink." She ordered. The cronie drank my blood like a shot and had a disgusted look on his face. "So? Feel intoxicated?" She asked him.

"No ma'am. It sort of makes my stomach hurt." He said as he hunched over. Within seconds he was projectile vomiting in one of Ivy's empty pots. His face was light shade of green and he started to sweat and shiver something awful.

"Interesting. It seems that your blood poisons a regular human being with a regular blood type." She said as she went back to her microscope.

"The Joker is a regular human being Ivy. Well, more or less." I said.

"I don't think so babe. There is a reason he is reacting the way he is to your new and improved brew of blood. What was your blood type before your gift?" Ivy asked.

"My fingers always had burning capabilities, since I was a baby. I sort of miss it." I said back. She shook her head.

"No I mean this gift. The gift I generously gave you." She said. I rolled my eyes.

"Oh. A negative. Why?" I asked. She smiled.

"Looks to me that you have one of the rarest blood types in medical history." She said back.

"What O negative?" I asked.

"No dear. Rarer than that. You have blood type Z. Only two or three cases as far as I know. Basically your antigens are pulsating with my poison and are lacking antibodies. With your previous blood type, you have always had the capability of having this type of blood with any mixture of poison." She explained.

"Lacking antibodies? Wouldn't I be a mess with illness after illness?" I asked.

"Well sure but since your antigens have my delectable poison attached to them, they pick up the slack so to speak." She said smiling.

"I don't understand. What does this have to with The Joker?" I asked.

"I'm not sure. I would have to run some tests. I am calling Lex Luthor. He is a genius with neurology." Ivy said as she whipped out her phone.

"Neurology? Like brain?" I asked.

"Yes. The craving of your blood? Where do you think that comes from? His brain obviously. A two year old could make the connection." She said sarcastically.

"Watch it Isley. I don't know exactly how I will convince J to let Lex make him his lab rat." I replied. Ivy walked over to her medical cabinet and went through her viles.

"Ah here. This should do it. Just a couple drops in his drink and boom. The man will literally do whatever you ask. Should last about 24 hours." She said as she handed me the vial. She looked at her phone and continued, "Lex said he would be thrilled to analyze The Joker. We meet at his lab tonight at midnight. Don't be late." She said. I nodded.

"Thank you." I said stubbornly. She smirked and disappeared into her jungle of plants. I walked out of her warehouse and headed home. When I walked back into the apartment, I could hear J screaming at someone. I walked into his office and saw him on the phone yelling profanities at someone.

"Test me Harvey and see what happens! I do not have the patience for this." J growled into the phone. I called it. I knew Two Face would be a pain in the ass once the superheros were dead. J hung up his phone and cursed under his breath.

"Drink?" I asked, taking my opportunity. He growled under his breath and replied, "Yeah.". I hurried into the kitchen and fixed him his usual whiskey on the rocks. I took out the vial and dropped a couple drops in. Just then, Johnny Frost came walking through the elevator and scared the hell out of me. I almost dropped the vial as I tried to stuff it back in my pocket.

"Ms. Cee. Is he in there?" He asked. I nodded. I followed Frost into J's office and set J's drink down as he and Frost talked about Two Face. I saw J take a few swigs and sit back in his chair. J blinked oddly a few times and shook his head like he was dizzy.

"You okay boss?" Frost asked.

"Yeah. Drink is strong." J said. I smiled.

"Well boss, I really think we need to prove a point to Mr. Two Face. Show him who runs Gotham before he gets too power hungry and pulls a fast one on us." Frost suggested.

"Yes Frost. I agree." J said willingly. Frost looked at him with surprise. It was rare that J took kindly to people telling him what he should do.

"Well Frost, you get on that and do you mind if I steal J for the night?" I asked as I grabbed J's free hand while the other polished off the rest of the magic drink.

"Of course Ms. Cee. I will start recon on Two Face and figure out his next move." Frost said as he left the office.

"J, would you mind coming with me to Luthor's lab?" I asked hesitantly.

"Okay." J said as he drunkingly grabbed his coat. Well that was easy. He lazily put an arm over my shoulder and obeyed my every command. He got in my car without question and even put his seatbelt on when I told him to. We pulled up to Luthor's building and the guards told us to wait. J stood completely still and it freaked me out. He was never this obediant. Lex came out in his lab coat with Ivy in tow.

"Ah, Mr. Joker and Ms. Cee. So good to see you! I can't even begin to tell you how honored I am that you are allowing me to examine you Mr. Joker. It has been a long time dream." Luthor said in a geeky way.

"Yeah yeah Lex let's just get on with it." I said as I linked hands with J. Lex noticed and smiled.

"Of course. Please, follow me." Lex said as he led us to his oversized lab. "If you could Mr. Joker just sit here for me. I will placing these sticky little wires on your head so please be patient." Lex said as he hooked J up. "Ivy, if you would." Lex asked. Ivy nodded and started getting the needle ready to take some blood from J. J looked at me the entire time they worked on him. I sat on the counter and watched them poke and prod him. Lex went to his giant computer and started typing and clicking. Ivy handed him the blood sample and he started analyzing it.

"Wait a second…"Lex said.

"What?" I asked urgently. Lex smiled a huge smile.

"It is true. It does exist." Lex said as he showed Ivy what he was looking at in his microscope.

"Would you tell me what the fuck you are seeing, Luthor?" I demanded. He looked at me and smiled bigger.

"It's formal blood patterning. A very rare type but it's right here in front of us." Lex said.

"I guess it would explain why he puts up with her and vice versa." Ivy said.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked.

"Your blood was already a rare type Luna. Ivy's poison mixing with it just activated it. Mr. Joker also has a rare blood type. The same that you once had. It's like magnents. Your blood types crave that poisonous mixture and that is what brings on the craving. Also the intoxication reaction." Lex said.

"So wait, if it's Ivy's poison, wouldn't he be gunning for her poison? Wouldn't I be?!" I asked. Lex shook his head in frustration.

"No no. Ivy's poison is nothing without your blood. This is why your poison doesn't paralyze him. As far as I know, you two are the only ones since the late 1950s to have this blood type." Luthor continued.

"Jesus Christ, could we be related?!" I screamed. Ivy laughed an evil laugh.

"No, for heaven's sake Luna. I would have seen that in my results." Lex said. I sighed in relief. J was still sitting in the medical examining chair, staring at me.

"So what does all of this mean?" I asked as I jumped off the counter.

"It means you two are the poster children for soul mates. Any offspring between the two of you will be basically indestructbile." Lex said.

"Well that's not entirely true Lex." Ivy said smirking. Evil bitch.

"I meant outside of the womb." Lex said quickly.

"Does this mean that if I ever taste his blood, that I will crave him?" I asked.

"I'm not entirely sure. If my calculations are correct, a reaction would occur one way or another. I just don't know what. It is fascinating isn't it? Very old school vampire horror. It's a classic." Lex said as he got buried in his thoughts.

"I am not a vampire. I don't fucking sparkle." I said defensivly.

"Yes well this may be true and I prefer the term plasma fiend." Lex said as Ivy giggled.

"I have to admit I am somewhat curious if she has the same reaction as he does to her blood." Ivy said to Lex.

"There is only one way to find out." Lex said as both he and Ivy looked at me suggestivly. I groaned.

"Fine. Give me the vial." I said as I stuck my hand out. Ivy gave me the vial that had the remainder of J's blood in it. J was still staring at me like a zombie.

"Is that normal?" I asked.

"Ah yes. The effects should wear off tomorrow night." Ivy said. I nodded and downed the contents in the vial. I didn't feel anything...at first. Then out of nowhere, I felt this overwhelming feeling come over me. It was like no matter how close I was to J, it wasn't close enough. It almost felt like every part of me was magnetizing to him.

"What's happening to me?" I asked as I started to slowly walk towards J who was mindlessly staring into my eyes. I heard Lex clap slightly and laugh.

"This is amazing! I never thought I would see the effects of formal blood patterning in person! You read about it in textbooks but never think you will see it up close. Kind of cute isn't it?" Lex said as he and Ivy watched J and I. I sat on his lap while he was in the medical chair and we couldn't stop touching each other. J and I couldn't ever keep our hands off of each other in the first place but this was different. It was more than a sexual touch. It was a yearning that somehow couldn't be satisfied. "Wait until I tell Nigma. He will be…" Lex continued. My eyes immediately widened and I turned my attention to Lex. I quickly grabbed my knife out of my boot and grabbed J's pistol out of his jacket. I held the knife to Lex's throat and the barrel of the gun of Ivy's head.

"No. No one knows about this. Ever. If either of you tell a soul, Lex your lab will be blown to bits and Ivy your precious plants will be yard waste. Am I clear?" I growled. Lex nodded as he gulped hard. Lex may have been a genius but he was a pussy at heart. Ivy nodded slowly.

"Wow, what a thank you for our help." Ivy said. I dug the barrel harder into her bright red hair and she winced. "Yeah okay. I won't say anything." She said back. I released them both and I looked back at J who was holding his head in pain.

"The effects of the elixir are wearing off. You might want to get him home." Ivy said. I nodded and helped J up. Before we left the lab I turned back to the pair of science nerds and said in a deep voice, "Remember what I said." I reminded. They both nodded cautiously. What Ivy and Luthor knew was potentially dangerous. If the crimelords of Gotham knew that we were each other's weakness both physically and mentally, we were vunerable. I drove us back to headquarters and helped J up to his penthouse. I sat with him on the couch as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He looked over at me and put an arm around me.

"Where have you been my Queen?" He asked. He had completely forgotten about our little adventure tonight. It was probably better that he didn't know. He would kill me if he knew I did that to him.

"Out and about." I said as I snuggled down to him and laid my head on his chest. I felt him let out a low growl as he checked his phone.

"We have a meeting with Two Face tomorrow night. I'll need you there. It could get messy." He said. I sat up a bit to look at him.

"What is the plan?" I asked. He stroked my hair as he looked into my eyes.

"Just going to put a scare into him. I don't want to off him just yet. He could be useful to us." He said as he stroked his thumb over my lips. I thought about what Lex had told me about J and I. We were connected. We were a rare breed and were meant to be together; emotionally, physically and eternally. It was intense. Too intense for someone like me. What if he didn't want this? What if he didn't want to be attached to me forever?

"Do you ever miss Quinn?" I blurted out. I don't know why I asked. I guess I had always wondered. He smiled slightly and dragged his finger from my mouth down my chest.

"I miss how I could control her. It made this incredibly easy." He replied. I looked down and away trying not to seem upset. He lifted my chin with his cold finger.

"I don't like things to be easy. I enjoy a challenge and you my dear are the most beautiful challenge I have ever encountered." J said as he inched towards my lips. He put his hand on the side of my face and pulled me into a kiss. I felt that undeniable pull that all made perfect sense now. I had never felt that towards anyone in my life. But for some reason, J and I were meant to be together. Even if not romantically. It just so happened that we were already crazy about each other.

The next night I woke up alone. J had gotten up in the middle of the day apparently which happened often. The guy hardly ever slept. Not me though, I loved my sleep. I got into the shower and washed the previous night away. I felt the hot water hit my skin violently and I loved it. I did enjoy the new me. I missed my old power but this new gift I had was pretty intense. I looked into the fogged up bathroom mirror and started getting ready for our meeting with Two Face. I looked up and saw Crimson and Handsome waiting on my bed. I walked out in my towel and pet Handsome on the head. He purred his low growl and lifted his chin.

"Mr. J says he needs you ready in fifteen. A debreifing about tonight." She said looking at her phone. I nodded as I reached into my dresser for my panties and bra. I dressed in my leather pants with black high heeled boots. I put on my tight purple top and smiled at how J and I were starting to match. We weren't even trying. I dried my hair and put on my typical makeup. I grabbed my matching leather jacket and put it over my shoulders. "So where did you guys go last night?" She asked. I paused.

"Nowhere. I mean...I'll tell you about it later. Just make sure you tell Frost to not mention it to J." I said. She nodded and followed me to the conference room. I walked in and J was sitting his boss chair with Frost standing and giving the mass amount of cronies their orders to lie in wait during our meeting with Two Face. I sat in my "queen's" chair next to J and didn't look at him. We had to be professional.

"So when I give you the signal, you's come in guns blazing. No man left alive besides Two Face. This will serve as a message only." Frost said.

"How many of his men is he bringing to this meeting?" I asked.

"Our intel is showing he is bringing six of his guys. So we are covered Ms. Cee." Frost replied. I nodded. J proceeded to look straight down at the table with his index fingers together. "Meeting is in fifteen minutes down at the Smile N' Grin. Just hang out and be customers until I give you the go ahead." Frost said. I saw some of the guys smile, knowing they could get a little stripper action tonight on the job. The room cleared and it was J and myself who were last. He got up and suddenly kissed me hard.

"Ready my Queen?" He asked. I smiled and nodded. He started to walk out and I followed. We got to the club and it was mostly empty. The cronies scattered and acted like guests. J and I headed to the VIP area and waited. I sat next to him and folded my legs. He put a hand on my knee as Two Face entered with two blondes at his side. They all three sat down without saying a word.

"Joker. Luna." Two Face said sternly.

"Dent." J said. He knew that bugged Two Face. I smiled slightly.

"I do believe we have some matters to discuss." Two Face started. J nodded slowly. "Now I know you and your woman here technically killed the Bat. But that doesn't give you automatic dibs for domination of Gotham City." Two Face started with an edge to his tone. J laughed slightly.

"I see. Then what does it give me, Harvey?" J asked as he slightly squeezed my knee.

"A little bit of respect." Two Face answered. J started laughing hystarically. I eyed Two Face slightly.

"That's it?" J asked. "That's the only prize I get?" J continued.

"Maybe not. Let's see what else you won Clown." Two Face said. Before we could blink, about thirty of his men came pouring in the club. They surrounded J and I in the VIP area and outside of it. Frost and Crimson were being held by gunpoint. The two blondes both smiled devilishly. I smiled back. Little did they know…

J was laughing uncontrollably at this point. "Oh Dent. You crack me up! Did you really think I wouldn't come prepared?!" J replied. Two Face looked around confused. All of his men dropped their pieces and got to their knees. Our guys were now behind them with barrels held to their heads.

"What the hell is this?!" Two Face yelled. J and I both pulled out guns and pointed them at Two Face.

"It was a good plan Dent. Just not good enough. Now it doesn't have to be like this. You join us? You will be a very rich man." I said. He scoffed.

"I'm already a rich man." Two Face growled back. Before I could respond, his two blondes pulled out their guns and pointed them directly at J.

"Put down the gun bitch. Both of you." One of the blondes said. J put his gun down slowly as he smiled. I started to lower mine, then I saw Crimson. She and Frost had gotten loose and were nodding at me. I shot one blonde in the forehead and Crimson came up and snapped the neck of the other. Shots were fired all at once and blood sprayed all over the VIP room. I held my gun pointing at Two Face as J came up behind me and wrapped his cold arms around me. Our guys were all that were left standing. Two Face snarled at us.

"You'll regret this Clown. You and your whore." Two Face said. I responded with an aww and kissed J. J bent down to Two Face's level.

"Back of Harvey. You're an old old man. You are too tired to rule. You know this. I know this. Every piece of shit in Gotham knows this. Go home." J growled. Two Face eyed him as J stood back up. Frost grabbed Two Face by the jacket and led him to the front. J and I looked all around and saw nothing but blood and two dead blondes one the ground next us. J bent down to one and lifted her hand. He started to doing something to her finger. He growled and he took out his knife and started cutting. I eyed him suspiciously. He took her severed finger and slid the diamond ring off the opposite way. He dipped the bloody diamond ring in a glass of whiskey. He put the ring in his mouth to suck off the whiskey. My stomach started to jolt. He turned around and held the ring in front of him.

"Marry me Luna." J growled. I nodded my head yes. He roughly took my hand and put the ring on. He looked back up at me and pulled me into a rough kiss. I hadn't really processed what had just happened but to what I could understand, I just agreed to marry Gotham's most feared villain and I couldn't have been happier.
