Chapter 4
Since I had revealed that the menace known as The Joker threatened to kill me, Bruce hasn't left my side. At first it was like hanging out with an annoying lapdog but then things began to change.
I even started to enjoy the time we spent together. I am currently at his penthouse talking with him about random subjects. Maybe a normal life wasn't so bad, I kept thinking over and over again, but thoughts of leaving Jinx behind and the rush I got every time I was out causing chaos always stopped me from doing it.
" A normal life isn't for me is it? A normal job, a husband, kids? Oh it sounds so nice, oh my stars, I'm actually convincing myself, not helping" I thought hitting my over the head with a large and soft cushion.
"Ava are you ok?" Bruce asked,
"Yes I'm fine" I replied smiling fake not facing him.
I clicked the TV remote and the TV came on, the news was on and they were talking about a masked criminal who went by the name of Jinx.
"Yay! I'm on TV" I thought.
"The masked criminal known as Jinx last night blew up a complete row of shops and was seen in the company of The Joker, witnesses say they saw the two watching the buildings explode before The Jinx drove away in what appeared to be a stolen BMW. According to the Gotham police department, the two are working together, but rest assured The Joker and Jinx will be stopped."
"OH MY GOD! HE WAS TRYING TO KILL ME!" I shouted at the TV.
"Oh shit" I thought
Bruce gave me a funny look " He was trying to kill her I mean, isn't it obvious? The Joker doesn't work with anyone and the henchmen he hires, he kills them when the jobs done" I pointed out
"Yeah...." Bruce replied clearly unsure whether or not to believe.
"Listen Bruce it's getting pretty late and I'm a bit tired. Mind driving me home?" I asked awkwardly
"Yeah sure" He replied, I smiled and kissed him lightly.
"Thanks" I said
After a silent ten minute drive Bruce pulled up outside my hotel.
"I'll see you soon Bruce" I said giving him a quick kiss.
I leaped out of the car and dashed into the hotel lobby. Panic pulsated throughout me.
"Shit shit shit....He's going to catch on, need to be more careful" I scolded.

Anarchy was sound asleep again , I patted her gently and whispered " guess all these late nights are catching up on you girl"
Jumping onto my bed, I grabbed today's newspaper licking my thumb, my blue orbs searched for an interesting ad. Finally something caught my eye. " Ah, this looks promising" I mumbled a spread breaking out across my lips.
The headline read "Rich heiress throwing huge party tonight for her 20th birthday"
The picture showed a peroxide blonde bimbo in a skimpy dress holding a present and a huge bunch of flowers smiling widely at the camera.
" Ooh fun fun fun" I giggled excitedly
I leapt off the bed and ran into the walk-in closet. Throwing open the Jinx closet, I flicked through all the red and green clothing I had.
At last I found what I thought would be fitting for a party. It was a cute red ballerina dress with a green bow and flat red matching shoes with green lace, throwing off my clothes I replaced them with the chosen Jinx outfit. I decided to leave my hair wavy and put on a red and green headband along with a polka-dot bow. Then it was time for the usual make-up.
Finally ready I went into the weapons drawer and pulled out a gun and two grenades, one filled with a poisonous gas, the other filled was a trick, when it blew up confetti came out. Fun, yes?
Locking everything up, I skipped over to the window, after checking no one was about, I jumped from your window and ran to my car.
Starting the engine, I sped off in the direction of The Venus Room which was the penthouse were the party was being held laughing the entire way.
***
I arrived, grabbed my gun and strap the grenades to my sides with the bow. "Ok I'm ready" I cheered out loud.
Running inside boldly, I hopted into an elevator.
"Going up" I murmured pressing the top floor button.
Suddenly a group of people entered the elevator, I didn't bother looking at then. Boy was that a big mistake! I shifted a little feeling curious eyes on me, a gasp escaped my painted lips when a menacing voice said "Cant keep away from me can you?"
"Please don't let that be-" I thought turning my body around.
My body shook as I found myself face to face with... The Joker!
"Well hello beautiful" He said.
The Joker clicked his fingers, the henchmen pried open the elevator doors and leaped out onto another floor. The doors shut slowly behind them with a high pitched creak. The sound was like nails running along a chalk board. Moments later, the elevator continued on its way to the top floor leaving me and that madman alone.
"What now? Cant you see I'm trying to crash a party" I complained
"Funny I was going to say the same thing" The Joker replied.
Within a split second, he had me pinned againest the cold wall, my arms held tightly above my head.
I hit my head hard with a painful thud! "Bastard" I muttered.
I drew back a fist and punch The Joker hard in the face; in return he kicked me in the stomach, I hunched over wheezing harshly.
"Now now dear, we don't have to fight" You teased standing upright confidently.
My hand twitched, in a quick motion I drew out my gun and aimed for his forhead but my eyes widened in surprise when I realized at the exact same moment, The Joker had the very same thing "great minds think alike I guess" I said with an amused smile
He smirked " Your really something, aren't ya?"
"I could say the same about you" I replied
Suddenly a thought came to my head, I replaced my gun,putting it alongside my grenades. A wide grin spread across my face "Shoot me" I ordered
"What?" The Joker asked a confused look playing on his face.
"You have a chance, its you want, so shoot me" I explained
"No I don't like guns, do you want to know why I use a knife?" He said lowering his gun.
"Go on" I murmured with a growing interest
"You see, guns are too quick. You can't savour all of the little…emotions. In their last moments, people show you who they really are" The Joker told you.
I nodded in agreement "So true, take for instant this guy I killed once, just before I slit his throat and wrote my name into his chest, I saw in his eyes that he was a coward and a cheat. I saw that the guy I killed didn't deserve a life, so I was more than happy to take it" I told him, a smile on my face at the joyful memory.
I laughed to myself thinking " I cant believe i'm still alive, whats going on?"
"Guess we have a few things in common then huh?" The Joker licked his painted lips
" I guess so" I replied
"I wonder what emotions The Batman would show in his last moments" I thought out loud
"I wonder what emotions you would show......Lets find out" The Joker grinned
Pulling out a small pocket knife,the pressure on my arms tightened, he smacked his lips together and was about to carve my face when
suddenly...
The elevator doors opened and revealed a room full of party people!
They all turned to stare at us both,mouths agape. A few of the women dropped what they were holding dramaticly. I rolled my eyes, these people were pathetic.
" I'm really sorry about this" I said to the Joker.
I kicked him really hard in the groin, he released me and keeled over in pain, laughing insanely just as he did last time.
" Oh the old familiar places " I laughed stepping out of the elevator.
I glanced momentarily at the buttons on the wall, pressing the floor number one button, my eyes sparkled giddily as the elevator doors closed and processed down. " Bye clown" I muttered almost reluctantly.
The Joker truly was an interesting person.
"Ladies and Gentlemen" I said turning around to face the crowd of scared civilians.
I saw that they were all quite young and had a disgusted look on their faces,looking down I touched the hem of my dress.
"What? I got all prettied up just for you guys. Is it my hair?" I teased, pulling out my gun.
"Now where's the birthday girl?" I inquired.
The Jokers point of view:
"I'm going to kill that wench" I snarled aloud.
As the door opened onto the first floor. "Although... Maybe she would be a useful member of my team, there is room for aggressive expansion" I pondered running up the long winding stair case.
Panting,slightly out of breath, my eyes fell upon my henchmen standing at the door staring in, their bodies were trembling. "Whats going on? Move!" I demanded pushing past them.
What I saw caused me to break out in a wide grin. Every single person in the room was lying in a bloody heap on the floor, crimson blood was splattered againest the walls and tables contrasting againest the snowy whiteness of the decour. All of them, dead. That is, exept for two people.
Ava's point of view:
"Come on Sweetie time to go" I giggled dragging the birthday girl roughly by the hair, I saw the Joker and his henchmen blocking my exit. Grimacing, I looked for an escaped through the window but it was no good, the Bat signal was already shining bright in the sky. Turning back to the clown and his men, I groaned in annoying. The Joker stood leant againest the door frame,arms folded with a dark grin on his scarred face.
"Don't just stand there, The Batman is coming, if you want to get held responsible for this be my guest but please move, me and Barbie here,are going to play a game of hide and seek, it seems that her Father is a big mob boss and needs to be taught a little lesson plus the guy would pay big money for his little angel back" I said directly to the Joker.
"Need a hideout?" He asked
This shocked me but when I thought about it, I really did need somewhere to stash my new doll "Yes as a mater of fact, I do" I confessed
"Come on then, time for some fun" The Joker said a huge smile spread across his scarred face.
