A/N: This chapter is the product of sitting in my house all day trying to take my mind off of shit. All the inspiration seemed to come to me when I was totally against writing. Anyway enjoy. Thanks everybody for your kind words. I'm really going to miss him. I told him that I had made him part of one of my fan fictions and he begged me to read it. I never let him. He's the Steve in this story but he wouldn't hurt a hair on anyone's head. Enjoy this chapter.
Pokemon Guest- those are really good idea but unfortunately I can't write slash. I'm just no good at it :-(. The confrontation with Enchantress and Hoker will be epic! Oh and Bruce will be around too.
Guest- So many of you are shipping Luna and Joker. I do like them together. But I like her with Bruce too because he's safer.
So let let me know how you like this chapter. A bit long. Sorry.
The knock on the door was unexpected. Enchantress quickly made herself scarce. She didn't want to be figured out. Not right now. Joker angrily got up and stomped over to the door. His feet making loud slapping noises on the hardwood floor.
Checking the peephole, gun in hand, Harley and Rick were standing there. Joker opened up the door and walked away. They could either come in or not. He massaged his temples. He had a splitting headache most likely from the drugs or alcohol. He walked into his kitchen and grabbed a beer. Might as well drink it might help him feel better.
"Harley you got 30 min then it's back to the house."
Harley nodded at Rick and walked into the kitchen sitting at the bar and crossing her arms and popping her gum.
"Is there something I can help you with?" Joker asked perturbed she and her handler just showed up at his place.
"I didn't come here so you could help me. I came here to help you."
Joker sipped his beer and grabbed another one out of the fridge. He removed the cap and slid it over to Harley. She raised the beer in gratitude and took a long swig.
"J, you know you have to tread carefully. You can't just do what you want to do. Rick told me about the look in your eyes when you threatened him. I know she means alot to you, I used to be her, I-"
"Let me stop you right there. You have never been her. No one has. No one will ever be."
Harley bit back a retort because she could see Joker was serious and she knew from personal experience that he didn't tolerate anyone disrespecting someone he cared for. She had to choose her next words carefully because she was not exempt from catching those hands.
"All I'm saying J is that I don't want you to wind up like me, or worse."
Joker set his beer down on the counter. He didn't need her concern. She chose. She left him. He didn't blame her though. He had done some pretty fucked up shit but she still left. Even when they were together she never made him feel the way Luna did. Luna had this uncanny ability to bring out the nice side of him. She did it without ever trying. Harley was different. She lived to please him. Anything he said do, she did. None of the things he did with Harley would fly with Luna. And he liked that. She challenged him. He would be the best man he knew how to be for her and her alone. He wanted to be anyway.
"I don't need your concern Miss Quinzel. In fact I think you've overstayed your welcome."
Harley smirked and got up from the island.
"I know you J, better than she does. Leave her alone. Let her go."
Joker threw the beer bottle at Harley who ducked out of the way. It smashed to pieces on the wall behind her. Joker pointed a finger at her.
"You know nothing. You don't even know the real me. She does. If I were you I would never mention her name to me again because there's just no telling what I might do."
"Is everything okay in here?" Rick asked walking into the room, looking at the broken beer bottle against the wall, then at Harley and Joker.
"Look at this guy, he's always so intense. I was just reminding Harley of her place. Where is Luna? Why are you here wasting time?"
"Don't pretend to care about my sister. Didn't you kick her out? Then when she came to you, you aggressively kicked her out again?"
"At least I'm not the reason she was taken."
Rick was sick of taking shit from him and Bruce. He didn't want Luna to be taken. He tried to fight against June but it was impossible. Before he knew it, he was around the corner his fists flying towards Jokers face. Joker let Rick hit him once and then fought back.
The two men scuffled. Both landing pretty good punches. Harley decided to break it up. The two men stopping and glaring at each other. Joker wiping blood from his lip, Rick wiping blood from his eye.
"You don't get to talk to me that way."
Joker laughed. "You're in my house. You can't run your sister's life. If she likes being here with me you have no say so. Unless you want to fuck your sister?" Jokers smiled was taunting. Rick wasn't even going to entertain his comment. He headed for the door and barked at Harley to follow.
She turned to leave and then stopped. Turning to face Joker.
"Amanda knows whose baby it is. Enchantress told her before she left."
"Who says I care about some brat?"
"For what it's worth, somewhere in there you know you'll make a great dad. I'm sure Luna would think so too." Harley giggled and then skipped out of his home. Leaving him there stunned that he had sired Luna's baby.
It was dark when Luna first opened her eyes. The light from the fire place slowly filtered through her eyelids. Her throat was dry, her head was pounding and she had to pee. Like pee so bad that if she sneezed she was screwed.
Slowly sitting up Luna realized her hands were chained together. She tried to immediately change then quickly realized she couldn't. It was the chains stopping her. Then that's when it all came flooding back to her. Rick, the hotel room, being stabbed in the neck by her brother. Then enchantress taking her. Out of all the things she knew Rick was capable of, she never thought him capable of hurting her or bringing harm to her. Boy was she wrong.
She was hurt. How could he do this to her? She would do anything for him. Luna thought back on the last couple of weeks of her life. All the heartache and suffering at the hands of Steve, Bruce and Jokers dumb ass made her sad. But what Rick did, that was just the storm that broke the dam. Luna started to cry. The tears spilling down her face. How life had just been thrown at her. How she was pregnant and now all alone. Not even wanting to be responsible, being selfish once again. The muscles in her chin trembled as Luna continued to weep, the sounds coming from her mouth were guttural and full of hurt. She didn't know how long she cried. But when it was finally over Luna wiped her eyes on her sweatshirt and vowed to get out of this stronger. She was going to keep her baby and nobody, not even that bitch Enchantress was going to take it away.
It wasn't hard to find Bruce. He was currently on top of the building, Amanda was occupying. Enchantress presented herself right in front of him and touched his forehead, causing him to fall onto the ground. She wanted to know how he felt about Luna.
Luna was lying on the floor, in front of the fire place with Marley curled into her side. Bruce was just listening to her talk. She was telling him about the time she had snuck out and gotten drunk. Rick had to come and pick her up.
"So there I was drunk as hell at some frat party. And Rick pulls up and is fuming. He was home on a break from school. All I kept thinking was, my brother is going to fight all of these horny drunk college boys. Anyway, he gets out of the car but he's not alone. He's brought one of his friends. So I'm sitting on this guy's lap beer in my hand, trashed out of my mind and he comes and literally snatches me up. And walks me outside and puts me in the car."
Luna let out a small laugh. "That's not even the fun part. He lectures me the whole way home about boys and drinking and sex. Telling me that it was best to stay a virgin until I got married. I mean I was so embarrassed. What 17 year old girl wants to talk about sex with her older brother? When we pulled up at home the cops are there…" Luna's voice got real low and sad. "... I'm thinking I'm busted. But our parents had been killed in a car accident. Coming back from a fundraiser. A fundraiser I was supposed to go to but I threw a tantrum and told them I hated them. I told them they were never around and only wanted to spend time with me to show me off. The last thing I ever told my parents was how much I hated them. How much I couldn't stand them. How they only ever tried to but my love."
Luna sat up and wiped a few tears from her face. Bruce reached out a hand and helped Luna onto the couch. His strong hands gently caressing her face.
"They knew you didn't hate them Luna. All teenagers go through that at some point with their family."
Luna nodded her head and Bruce pulled her in for a hug.
The next memory.
Bruce was in the shower when Luna had crept in and joined him. She had yet to see his body in the light of day and her curiosity didn't disappoint. Bruce greeted her with a smile and a kiss, that quickly turned heated. His hands exploring her breast, his mouth exploring them too. Before too long, Luna was in Bruce's strong arms her back against the tile, getting fucked into next week. It wasn't the love making that was important. It was what Bruce was thinking. He wanted to settle down with her. He wanted to ask her to marry him. He was willing to give everything up for Luna. He whispered how much he loved her in the shower and she boisterously returned the sentiment. The thought crossed his mind if Luna was on birth control and then he decided it didn't even matter. He met his release inside of her and decided that day he would shop for an engagement ring to give to her on her birthday.
Enchantress couldn't help but laugh. She didn't want to see anymore. She would deal with him and Joker later. For now she needed to get back to Luna.
"Are you hungry?" The voice startled Luna. She shook her head no as June approached her with a tray full of food. June sat the tray down on the table and looked down at Luna.
"Why have you been crying?"
Luna remained silent. She had been telling Rick for years that June was no good. That Enchantress had more of a hold on her than he realized. She wasn't going to eat any of that food and she damn sure wasn't going to make conversation with that hussy.
"Fine, you want to be that way, whatever Luna. You at least need to eat. If not for you then for your baby."
Luna gave June a death glare. June rolled her eyes.
"I don't know how your brother put up with you! You're such a selfish bitch."
"Excuse me?"
June pointed at Luna and narrowed her eyes.
"You heard me. You're a selfish-"
"Oh I heard you. I wasn't asking you to repeat yourself. I was just surprised you had the nerve to call me selfish. You're lucky I'm in these chains."
"Really Luna?"
"Yes bitch really. I don't like you anymore than you like me."
June let out a sigh. "That's the thing Luna, I've never not liked you. You don't like me because of what happened to you. It wasn't my fault. I'm sorry. Ever since that day you've been cold and calloused toward me."
"You know I would believe your little story if I wasn't sitting here in chains, talking to you. If Enchantress was speaking her peace, I could believe you might be sorry. But I don't June. We're connected. Did you forget? So cut the shit. I don't fucking like you. Don't make me lose what little respect I have left for you. Tell me what you really want to talk about."
June grabbed a chair from a nearby table and helped Luna into it. The floor had to be uncomfortable. She to then sat down.
"I want her out of me Luna. I can't take it anymore. When she's in control I'm right there watching everything she does. I live in constant fear of what she will do. Or when she will take over."
Luna crossed her legs and pressed her lips into a thin line. June needed to get to the point. She really didn't give a fuck if she was afraid. Nobody told her to go hiking into the hills and go exploring into a cave touching shit she had no business touching. Just like nobody told her to get in between the middle of her and Rick but she did and now she had to live with those consequences.
"I know that you don't even want this baby. So what does it matter if Enchantress uses it?"
"You're kidding right? It's not her baby to use at all. It's mine. And you're wrong. I do want my baby."
June rolled her eyes at Luna's revelation. Now she wanted her baby. What about tomorrow or the next day. Luna changed her mind just as much as she changed men lately.
"Oh is that right Luna? You don't even know who the father is."
"Oh wow what a low blow June..." Luna said sarcastically. If she was trying to make her feel bad she wouldn't. She wouldn't be the first woman in history to not know who her child's father was and she wouldn't be the last. This was a drop of water into a bucket. It was a non-factor. "...is this where you tell me that you know if it's Bruce or Joker's baby? Then you offer me all kinds of stupid shit for me to agree to give you my daughter…" June's eyes widened at the fact Luna said daughter. How did she know it was a girl too. Luna laughed and continued talking. "...what? How did I know it was a girl? Well I assumed since Enchantress was trying to body snatch she would do it into another woman. I mean that's just fucking logic. Anyway, as I was saying you're going to offer me something, then probably try to get Bruce or Joker to appease to me. Well the answer is no. Sorry but you can't have her. But you know this brings to light a new question. Why do you need my permission. Why can't you just take her?"
June looked away. She was supposed to have the upper hand in this conversation but she had underestimated Luna.
Luna threw her head back and laughed. These bitches had no control over her except these damn cuffs that were magic proofed.
"I'm going to take an educated guess June. You tell me how right I am. You need me to agree because Enchantress can't just take my baby. You need me to willingly participate in that fucked up ritual. Am I right?"
Luna shook her head and smirked. "Well June, looks like you are fucke. So what do you say you let me go and I promise I won't let them torture you too much."
"Fuck you Luna." June said walking away angrily.
"No thanks June. I've already got two men hot on my trail. I don't need you and Enchantress' crazy ass in the mix too."
June turned around and if looks could kill Luna would have melted.
"Oh and I have to pee. So unless you want to clean up pee. Take me to the bathroom now."
June walked back over to Luna and bent down to unshackle her feet. Luna stood up and stretched and let June lead the way to the bathroom. It was time to plan how to get the fuck away from this crazy bitch.
