House Party.
Doctor Young: I've been a fool. Joker was behind it all. He's the one that gave me the funding pulled the strings to release Bane. I want out but- (phone rings) Hello? Hello? This is Doctor Young's office.
Harley: Please hold for Mister White.
Doctor Young: What?
Joker: Hello Doc' we need to talk.
Doctor Young: I won't do it Joker I- wait…. how did you get accesses to a phone?
Joker: Oh yes, I hate dark confined spaces, reminds me of my childhood.
Doctor Young: Another lie?
Joker: Who knows, I certainly don't. But first I want my monsters.
Doctor Young: I gave you back the money, I don't want it.
Joker: Does it look like I care about money? I just want my monsters Doc and if you won't give them me, well…. it won't be funny!
(End Tape.)
Jester waited quietly in her cell, just in the air vent a way down the corridor was her stuff, just waiting for her to pick up and get ready for the house party.
Edward was pacing in his cell, she could hear him walking back and forth, he was obviously growing inpatient.
Suddenly they heard the tell tale signs of Harley as the sound of boots could be heard and her humming a tune.
"You two ready?" she cried as she slid the card through the locks and their doors unlocked.
Jester took one look at Harley and though she was going to faint. The outfit she was wearing, if you could call it that, didn't really cover her up properly at all, in fact, Jester was certain that if Harley bent over you would be able to see her underwear.
"Interesting choice of attire," Edward commented.
Harley grinned and gave a little twirl. "How'd you like my new uniform? Pretty hot huh?"
Jester, personally, would call it many things, but 'hot' was not one of them.
"Here ya' go humbug," she said as she placed a hat on her head.
It was a captain of the guards hat, Aaron Cash may have been head of security but the captain of the guard was slightly higher then that, some how.
"You're in charge of the men, Humbug! The guards as it were of Mista' J's asylum! Oh by the way, B-man's here, so… you guys better either split or get the hell out of here. We all know how bats likes to go for the nose and the face."
She smiled at them before trotting off, almost skipping swinging Sharp's cane as she went.
Jester snuck over to the air vent and removed the cover, before she grabbed her stuff and began to pull her outfit on. It was a 'jester' take on the captain of the guard's uniform like Harley's was a take of a nurse's out fit, personally, Jester thought that the traditional one was better.
"So, you're not sticking around are ya'?" she questioned, but she knew the answer.
"I told you. The bigger game for me is outside of Arkham." he replied walking down the corridors.
"Okay, but you're sure gonna miss a whole lot of fun Eddie! Murder, death, chaos! It's gonna be a riot!"
"It's going to be a disaster, which is why I wish to be as far away from Arkham as possible."
"Oh… you ye' of little faith."
"I don't need faith, just facts."
"Not religious then?"
Edward gave her a pointed look. "No. Not in the slightest. I gave up praying a long time ago Jester."
"Oh… and why's that Eddie?"
"My prayers were never answered," he stated rather bitterly.
She gave a slow nod and followed him as they walked into the medical centre, there was already a mess starting up inside, inmates were running around and they were attacking the Doctors and Nurses, Batman had only just entered the Intensive Treatment ward which gave Edward plenty of time.
He opened one of the lockers after Jester handled a guard, he pulled the green paint out and for the sake off it, he began to walk around in bare feet, painted with the green paint around the morgue and back to the locker, before he wrote 'hell?' on the floor.
He grabbed a cloth off the table and began to clean his hands and feet, before he grabbed his suit.
Jester frowned at the footprints that had been freshly painted on the floor. "And the point for that was..?"
"Boredom and why would I want to waist such good paint?"
"Of course," she giggled. "Can I have a go?"
"No."
"But Eddie-!"
He glared at her.
"Fine," she huffed, folding her arms and pouting like an immature child. "Green isn't my colour any way."
Edward smirked as he slipped his suit on, before he straightened his jigsaw cufflinks and then he pulled his tie straight and fastened his question mark tie tack.
"Perfect." he muttered before he flicked a bit of lint of his suit.
Jester rolled her eyes. "Ya' know something, that suit is so inpractable."
"Not for my line of work it isn't. It's classy," he stated as he pulled his question mark cane out of the locker and gave it a twirl.
"Classy, smash. I like my look. It's cool! Plus, it is so much more practicable!"
"For what you do," Edward replied before he left the room, with Jester scampering after him.
On the way they met Jonathan, he held his Scarecrow costume over one of his arms, his mask was already on his face and he gave them a cold look.
They ignored him and went back into the elevator, before leaving the medial centre completely.
"So ya' taking a boat?"
"Yes. I need you to do a favour though Jester."
"Sure thing big brother 'R', what's the favour?"
"Keep an eye on Jonathan, I'm planning on sabatarching his plan at some point."
Jester frowned. "Ain't that a bit dangerous Eddie, maybe even slightly…. irrasponciable?"
Edward smirked. "Just keep an eye on him and stay away from Zsasz."
Jester saluted him and gave a big grin. "You can count on me Eddie!"
"Good."
He walked onto the boat and Jester quickly tackled him in a hug and he awkwardly patted her back, an irritated look on his face. "Yes, yes. Let go now Jester, I don't want to be late."
She let go and quickly jumped away. "Okay Eddie, you be careful!"
"And you Jester, be extra careful."
The boat started and soon he was just a dot in the distance.
Jester sighed and scampered off, running through the abandoned tunnel to the mansion. When she got there she saw the guards. They were talking to Batman, she wondered if ol Batsy was expecting her to be here?
"Ding, ding, dong! Warden Joker here, the bat's car is outside the intensive treatment facility. I suggest that all murderers, homicidals and crazies get down there and beat it in a little, don't want batsy leaving just yet! If you're not there now, get down there or I'll set my dear little captain on you. You wouldn't like that, trust me! I hear she bites!"
Jester rolled her eyes. "Oh boss, you do flatter me."
She ran back through the amabdoned tunnel, before she skipped to the medical felicity, wait was that Harley?
"Hey, Harley!" she called.
"Humbug!" Harley cried delighted. "Come on in!"
She slid the card through the scanner and Jester skipped through, grinning wildly at her, then she noticed Gordon. "Why you got him Harl?"
"Mista' J has a plan, this is going to bring b-man here!"
"Oh… okay… I just maybe, I don't know, doesn't Boss J man want me to sort out the caves or something?"
"Yeah humbug, that's right! But not yet, mista' J don't need that yet, soon sure! But not yet!"
Suddenly the doors to the medical centre opened and Batman walked in.
"Oh hey B-man," Harley called, smiling wildly at him.
Jester waved before she wondered deeper into the medical facility.
"Better warn the boys," she muttered to herself. She missed Eddie. He was always with her and now he wasn't here.
She paused and looked up at the camera and smiled before waving up at it.
"Hey Eddie! I know you're up there, I have a com system in my ear so… if you could contact me every so often, it would be nice!"
She turned and walked into the main room and saw the Doctors being attacked by their men.
"Where's Doc Young?" she asked.
"X-ray room, Jester," said one of the men. "Is this a hospital, looks more like a torture chamber."
Jester smirked. "Just be glad you ain't here."
With that she skipped off, grinning towards X-ray. She wanted to have a little talk with Doctor Young, she knew that Boss J man needed the formular.
"Yo! Me main men!" Jester called walking into the room. "The Jester is in the house, you have the Doc Young here?"
"Oh yeah Jester, we do!" laughed one of them.
Jester grinned and happily walked into the the room. "Hi Doc! Ya' miss me?"
The Doctor grimaced at her, before she backed away from her. "What… what do you want Jester?"
"Boss J man's monsters Doc! Is that too much to ask?"
"I will not tell you! I'm not going to let you destroy Gotham!"
Jester rolled her eyes. "Oh for the love of… Doc! Think about it! I have the whole asylum! All the inmates! We will find that formular, so why not do yourself a favour and tell us, hmm?"
"I would rather die!"
Jester grinned and swung her frying pan. "That can be arranged."
Doctor Young paled and backed away, but Jester smirked wildly. "Boss wants this formulae found. You guys keep on interrogating her, torture her if you have to!"
She skipped towards the exit.
Maybe Jonny was down stairs? He could be right? He was beforehand, so why wouldn't he be now?
She back into the main room, getting into the elevator and heading down, ignoring the fact that Batman was in the room, she knew he was she just didn't care.
She really missed Eddie, he wasn't here and now she was just… here… alone…
Jester frowned and closed her eyes, trying to block out the angry voices of her past from her mind.
"Don't think about them now Jester, it's not a good idea. Besides, some things are just not worth remembering."
The elevator came to a hault and she walked out, swing her frying pan again, while walking towards the glass that seemed to contain some Doctors and guards, she was certain they hadn't been there when she and Eddie had been down here.
She turned a corner and then out of nowhere a burst of toxin was sprayed in her face.
She fell to the floor coughing and she just about heard Scarecrow hiss. "And now, little girl, you will know fear and this time, there's no Riddler to save you!"
And then she opened her eyes to her worst nightmare.
T.B.C:
Note: Yeah, I know this chapter ain't my best, think of it as a filler for the next one! Plus, you will be hearing from good old Joker in the next chapter. :) I mean, yeah I know there hasn't been much of him considering he is Jester's boss, but don't worry you're gonna get him in the next bit! Promise!
Any way, thanks for the faves, reviews and followers! You guys are great!
But oh no! What's gonna happen to my poor little Jester, just so you know, she does fear something. Wonder what it's going to be? Guess you guys are gonna have to wait! :)
