They had been home for about an hour. No one had said a word. Hermione was lying on the couch reading and the Joker was in one of the chairs in the living room across from the couch.

"Hermione." The Joker said softly.

Hermione looked up from her book.

"I'm sorry I ruined our night."

"You didn't ruin our night I had a wonderful time, and if any one was to blame for ruining our night it would be that stupid pig headed guy."

The Joker let out a soft laugh.

"Seeing you knock that guy unconscious tonight for what he did just made my night better, because it showed me how much you really care about me."

"You shouldn't have to see me knock some guy out just to see how much I care about you."

"I don't need to see that, but I'm just saying that even though I already know how much you care about me it's nice to see it put into action."

The Joker just laughed. "So you ready to go back to Gotham in the morning."

"I am. I'm actually kind of curious to see what story my uncle made up to explain my absence because I highly doubt he told everyone that I ran away with you."

"Was running away with me such a bad thing?" The Joker asked teasingly.

"Not in my eyes of course, but in the eyes of the citizens of Gotham I think they would have me locked away in a padded cell if they knew the truth."

"You know I would never let anyone take you away from me."

"I know."

Hermione got up and went and crawled into the Joker's lap. He wrapped his arms around her. She snuggled her head into his chest and about thirty minutes later she was asleep. The Joker gently got up with her still in his arms and took her to their bedroom. He laid her gently on the bed and pulled a blanket over her. He went back into the living room and got her book of the couch. He looked at the page number before he closed the book, knowing she hadn't checked what page she had been on before she crawled into his lap because she hadn't closed the book. He walked back into their bedroom carrying the book with him. He put the book down on her night side table and then crawled into bed and wrapped his arm gently around her.
