Chapter 12

The Joker and I escaped Arkham with Cranes body and took him back to the warehouse. When we got there, I found my cell phone lying on the floor.

I picked it up and found I had 2 texts;

First text read: Ava, It's Bruce; I stopped by your hotel and picked up your cat. The spare key was under the mat. Alfred is taking care of her for you while you're away. Hope you don't mind. See you soon x

Second message: Hey it's me again, just wanted to know when you were getting back. It's been nearly a month now and I think your cat misses you. I miss you. Text me back when you read this. Hope your ok. Bruce x

I quickly decided to reply with: Thank you Bruce, I really appreciated it, I miss you too, and I will see you soon. Ava x

I put my cell back into the dress pocket. I knew I had to go home soon before people started to worry. Hearing the Joker's maniac laugh, I entered the room where his voice was coming from not too far away. I saw that inside the room laid Barbie tied to a chair, whether she was dead or alive I was unsure of. I found The Joker taking pictures of Crane tied unconscious to a chair. "Jinxy there you are. Ready to make Crane suffer?" he said with a grin, I smiled.

"Yup" I replied.

I jabbed Cranes cheek and watch with delight as he stirs and finally regained consciousness. "Ugh… What- where am I? What's going on?" He questioned. His eyes met with mine, then his glaze flicked over to The Joker. Fear filled his eyes, as it finally dawned on him he was tied to a chair in the same room as two serial killers.

"Are you afraid Crane?" The Joker taunted

I giggled childishly.

"Aw what's a matter? Does craney want his mommy?" I teased pouting.

"YOU! When I get out of here I'm going to kill you Ava" He screamed.

Myself and The Joker burst out laughing hysterically "What makes you think you're getting out of here?" The Joker said menacingly.

The Joker suddenly turned to me and grabbed me firmly by my shoulders with a big grin "Jinxy! I forgot I got you a present"

He pulled a loaded syringe out from his pocket "Thought you would like to give crow food over there, a taste of his own medicine....literally ha!" The Joker said laughing at his own joke.

I smirked and stepped up to Crane and whispering "What do you fear Crane? Dying? The monster in the closet? Dust bunnies? Well were about to find out"

I took the syringe and stabbed it into his neck forcefully injecting the fear toxin into his blood stream.

His eyes widened and he let out a terrified scream.

"What do you see?" I menacingly whispered into his ear.

He thrashed frantically as if trying to escape or release himself from his bounds. "Creatures...No! Get away!" He screamed

The Joker jumped a step nearer to Crane, which made him scream more; I step in front of him and sway my head from side to side. His shouted and screams grew. "He thinks were creatures or something" I said to The Joker.

He smirked evilly and jumped from one stop to another him front of Crane making silly noises only to scare him more. I slapped Crane around the face and waved my hands in front of him, quickly moving away and back again.

He screamed as his visions got worse, I could only imagine what horrible imagines he was seeing. Knowing this what he deserves for torturing me with the same toxin made me feel no remorse for him. The Joker skipped out of them room and left me with Crane for a moment before returning with a big bucket "What's in the bucket?" I asked,

"You'll see" He replied evilly.

He passed me the bucket. There was a sound of sloshing water before I tip it over Dr. Crane. His skin turned redraw. "Boiling water? Nice" I complimented

"Please no more! Get away from me!" Crane screamed still thrashing about.

The Joker approached Crane and snarled "Let's put a smile on that face!"

He slashed at Cranes face creating the same smile he had carved into my face and Barbie's. Speaking of the little wench she was beginning to wake up, she was alive! "Barbie you're still alive!" I squealed happily throwing my arms around her.

"Get off me you freak!" She screamed.

I pouted, "Aw didn't you miss me? Look we brought you a friend!"

She looked over at Crane screaming for mercy as the Joker taunted him only making his hallucinations of demonic creatures worse.

"Dr. Crane! Help me" She screamed

I laughed at her stupidity "how can he help you? He's tied to a fucking' chair and see us as creatures from the darkest corners of his nightmares and imagination. You stupid whore"

I punch her hard in the jaw. "Dr. Crane!" She screamed tears streaming down her face.

Turning his neck to look at her, his eyes widened "Perfect, He's terrified of her as well" I thought.

"Dr. Crane. What's wrong?" She cried.

"Get away from me! No please no!!" He shouted trashing his head about franticly.

"What have you monsters done to him?" She screamed at myself and The Joker.

"Were not monsters. Were just… ahead of the curve" The Joker said darkly

I took the switchblade from The Joker's hand and traced it across Cranes face. Blood leaked from his wounds.

"Drop dead Crane and this time stay dead" I hissed before plunging the switchblade into his chest.

He cried out in pain, it echoed throughout the room, Barbie's screams joined in in perfect unison. Moments later, his cries stop, head falling and lolling to one side. At long last he was finally dead!

I turned to Barbie; she shook with fear as I waved the blade in her face.

"My turn" The Joker said taking the knife and shoving me out of the way.

I watched with a sick glee as he murdered her "I never did catch her real name Ha!" I mumbled with a slight laugh.

Suddenly The Joker turned to me and pushed me into the wall, he pinned me against it and held the knife to my throat.

"What's gonna happen now huh? Barbie's dead. Cranes dead"

He kept me pinned to the wall with one hand and punched me with the other, kicking me in the stomach hard which caused me double over in pain but he pushed me back against the wall standing upright and pressed the blade harder into my neck.

"I don't know" I murmured

"You see I've been thinking lately. I don't like that you hide the fact that your a freak...like me, I realised something, your just like them, you have rules and you think they'll save you. But from what Jinxy? Me? Yourself? Cops? You work for me now and I'm telling you. Tell everyone who you really are...or I will" The Joker said darkly his hand grabbing my throat and squeezing it tightly

"I'm not like them. I'll never be like them" I defiantly choked out.

"Then let everyone know that Ava McKinley is the infamous Jinx or I will" He snarled

I didn't answer but looked into the Joker eyes with fear, he scared me when he was like this and he knew it. The Joker's face was blank; his eyes staring back without emotion. Suddenly he kissed me roughly, pushing me harder against the wall. His hand slid from my throat to the back of my neck, holding me there tightly so I couldn't move. But part of me didn't want to move. I kind of like it. The tingling sensation I got as his gloved finger tips stroked the back of my neck lightly, this simple movement caused so many shivers and a great pleasure to erupt within me. I kissed him back, which I felt surprised the Joker but he didn't stop; this only made him smile in the kiss and shove his tongue into my mouth. The kiss became more passionate, he pressed the switchblade into my neck hard, drawing blood, I let out a moan, it hurt but I also found it slightly pleasurable. Messed up, huh?

The Joker let out a small laugh and broke the kiss. He leant closer to me so our noses and forehead were touching.

"The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules, Goodnight Jinxy" He whispered

"Goodnight" You said breathlessly.

He released his grip on me and watched as I quickly left the room and went into my own. I fell asleep that night feeling safe and happy as ever. Crane was gone and couldn't hurt me anymore and tomorrow I would go and get my things because for now I worked with the Joker. This was my life. Whether I like it or not. But it confused me and enthralled me when I came to realise that very moment… I liked it.
