JokerxHarley The Returning Past Chapter Eight
* 2 days later *
Joker POV
He looked around the busy cafe. It was one of those new modern ones the walls covered in vertical stripes of peach, dark orange and gold. Large photographs on the walls in white frames showing trees in the summer. The cafe was busy, filled with people in suits drinking small cups expresso, teenage couples drinking fizzy drinks from tall glasses and mum's with young children in prams catching up over mugs of coffee. It made him nervous. He tugged at the collar of his pale lilac shirt. He was wearing the clothes Katherine had given him. His scars covered up with something called foundation. Harley said it would make people not notice him as the Joker. It made him glad that he could meet his daughter without scaring her. He looked at Harley from the corner of his eyes. She was wearing a white short sleeved top with a pair of dark blue jeans with no makeup and her hair in a plait. She still looked cute all the same.
Harley POV
Mista J is really nervous Harley though. As she noticed him constantly looking around and tugging at his shirt collar. She sighed and turned her attention to the sugar packets in a orange bowl on the table. She pulled each on out tearing them open and tipping the content onto the table spelling out the words 'Mista J'. At this she felts his hand rest on her arm. "Pooh will you stop that? Someone may see" He asked his voice sounded calm but she knew better. "Sorry Mista J" she said softly and blew the sugar off the table. Watching as it slid off the table in a large cloud of crystal dust. Then she heard the chime of the cafe door as she looked up she saw Katherine with a teenage girl.
Katherine POV
She was nervous. It would have been stupid of her not to have been. Her daughter was finally meeting her father for the first time. The father known as the Clown Price of Crime and the killer of many people. She ran her eyes across the cafe many busy tables till she saw Jack sat at a table to the back of the room. He raised a hand to get her attention and she smiled. She looked down at Alice who was looking at Jack her hand to her chest. She gently pushed Alice to walk towards Jack's table following her closely. When the got to the table she took the seat beside Harley and Alice took the one beside Jack. Alice and Jack just staring at each other. Katherine smiled and introduced them to each other. " Jack this is you daughter. Her name is Alice."
Alice POV
She was so happy when mum had finally said yes to her seeing her father. She had been waiting for years now. Ever since she was young she remembered her friends being picked up by their dad and always asked her mum where was her dad. Her mum always said that he was probably in Gotham City. Where they had once lived. But now here he was in front of her. He was wearing mostly dark clothing. Dark jeans,shoes and blazer. The only colour was his shirt a pale shade of lavander or lilac. He had a nice face he had big dark eyes the colour of melted milk chocolate flecked with pale gold. His hair was slightly messy falling in wavy cinnamon brown coils around his face. She noticed where she got her hair from. His mum had said he was called Jack but... what should I call him? Jack or Dad? She looked at her father and gave him the warmest smile she could give. "Its nice to finally meet you...Dad."
Joker POV
He couldn't help but stare. She was so much more beautiful in the flesh. She was dressed in another dress. Similar to the one in the photograph of her but the colour of buttercups. A pale warm yellow. Her dark coppery waves framing her face. The pale skin of her face seemed to glow from the sunlight that fell in ribbons across her. She was looking at him with her dark green eyes sparkling with a warm smile on her face. Then she spoke her voice like syrup. She called him Dad. Dad huh? I could get used to this he though. He gave her a smile as warm as hers and said "Its great to meet you Alice. I think we have alot of catching up to do..."
