Chapter 22

Police sirens rang out through all of Gotham.

I looked closer and could just make out dozens of cop cars zooming through the streets. The Jokers walkie talkie began crackling and buzzing, I couldn't make out what the person was saying but I recognized Judy's voice. The Joker face formed a small frown, he looked pissed off.

"There a problem?" I asked

"The bat!" he snarled.

Suddenly his walkie talkie began crackling and buzzing again.

" WHAT!" he shouted into it.

"Erm....Mista J...." I heard Harley voice say quietly

"SPIT IT OUT THEN!" he yelled

But the walkie talkie fell silent......

Harleys point of view:

The batman apppeared from nowhere,he roughly grabbed the walkie talkie from my hands just after I had managed to say " Erm...Mista J.."

He threw it to the floor,stamping it on so hard it smashed into a million peices crackling one last time before cutting off turned to the bomb " I dont think so batsy!" I said pulling out a gun.

Firing the gun, a bullet hit him in the arm " arrghh!" he cried in pain.

Kicking him,he rolled over clutching his shoulder, " so long chump" I snarled pointing the gun at his head.

His grabbed my leg and pulled me to the floor.

Suddenly jumping up,he pulled something from his batbelt and fired it at me. I found myself tide up tightly unable to move bound by thin but strong wire.

"Oh very orginal" I taunted

"Where's Ava?" He growled

"Where'd you think, Bats? She with Mista J!" I yelled, burning with jealously inside.

"Why do you work with him Harleen? The Joker is an abusive demented maniac" Batman rasped

"My Puddin loves me" I defended

"Wake up, Harleen! The Joker doesn't love anyone but himself and beside if he did love you, why aren't you the one with him now?" Batman spoke.

I fell silent.

He was right, Mista J wasn't with me right now, and he was with her! Tears filled my eyes.

"You're wrong! My Puddin does love me he does! She's the problem! She's ruining everything. Well Jinx's going to pay, one way or any other she will pay"

"Give me the detonator" Batman ordered.

"Nope" I stated.

He growled in frustration. Picking up my bag he began searching through it,

" hey, a ladies bags personal! " I yelled kicking my legs furiously.

Batman pulled out the detonator and crushed it in his hands.

"BATSY YOUR NO FUN!"

Suddenly he jumped off the side of the building and was gone. I sighed in annoyance.

" Now what?" I mumbled out loud looking down at the bounds around me.

A figure emerged from the shadows," need some help?" a female voice asked.

A wide evil grin spread across my face.

Ava's point of view:

"Think Iguana man will come?" I asked

"He's never disappointed me yet" The Joker stated.

"Right now, I see it as were up on stage waiting for his grand entrance, Batman is currently behind the curtain preparing" I exclaimed.

The Joker nodded "I agree. But preparing for what?"

I smirked, "his time to dance on the stage and then.....his curtain call"

The Joker laughed at this but soon after things fell silent.

It made my gut wrench, this annoying silence.

Now it felt like I was holding my breath, waiting for The Joker to speak.

Frowning I tried to think of something to say but thought of nothing.

So I decided on,

"so..."

The Joker remained silent, I looked at him and his expression showed that of a man deep in thought and wanting to say something but held his silence.

Finally he spoke.

"Why wouldn't you let me kill him?" he asked referring to Matt.

"Because" I stated

"Because what?" The Joker snapped

"He's my friend" I replied

"Don't talks shit, Jinxy. You let me kill those other two" The Joker said

"They hardly counted, well anyway Matt is different from them, he saw past what the others saw. I couldn't let him die" I told him

"Do you love the guy?" he snarled

"No. I don't" I stated

"Do you love me?" The Joker asked

"What-" but I was abruptly cut off by his lips pressing against mine.

I made a high-pitched squeal of shock as I felt the bumps of the scars around his mouth against mine. The Jokers hand cupped the side of my face, the other hand holding onto my waist. Raising my arms, I wrapped them around his neck pulling myself closer, so both of our bodies were pressed together.

I knew it was wrong.

I knew I shouldn't even have feelings for him but something inside of me seemed to disagree and be pulling me closer and closer to him until I was completely pressed up against him. His tongue swiped over my bottom lip, wanting more.

The Jokers P.O.V

"What-" I kissed her roughly on the lips before she could finish her sentence, every part of my body tingled.

There was no denying it now.

No matter how much I wanted her to have no effect on me, there was something about the way she pretended not to have feelings for me –when I knew she did- that made me long for more. Something about those soft lips I was kissing that made my stomach twist, in a good way, I think.

I moved my tongue across her bottom lip lightly; she opened her mouth slowly as my tongue passed her lips and touched her tongue lighter still.

Truth be told this feeling I felt for her worried me, these emotions were dangerous but I couldn't find it in myself to kill her.

I was not used to being this close to such an attractive woman; you hardly had any idea what to do.

All I knew was I wanted more and I didn't wanted it to end.

Ava's P.O.V

As I felt The Jokers tongue against mine, his hands lowered from my waist.

The kiss grew more passionate and a thousand thoughts were rushing through my mind. He stroked my hair gently with his gloved hand,

'Ava?' I heard a voice I was not expecting to hear at all.

But when I pulled away and looked, I found who the voice really belonged to.

It was The Batman.
