Return to Gotham
Chapter 13
Summary: Set two years after Worlds Collide. Hermione and the Joker are back in Gotham. And you'll just have too see what happens from there.
Okay, I know this is different from the original summary that I have posted on chapters 1-6 but now that I've begin to write it I think that it is appropriate to keep it like it was in Worlds Collide where Hermione only uses her magic when it's absolutely necessary. I tried to fit it in where she uses her magic for evil but I just can't see it so sorry for any confusion this might cause but hopefully it won't cause too much because she hasn't used her magic in the story yet.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters.

"He is, your uncle is Batman?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't know. I promised him I wouldn't tell and when we were in London it never came up. I'm so sorry."
"Hey, you have nothing to apologize for."
"Yes, I do. I'm a total hypocrite. I'm in love with a villain and practically protecting a hero."
The Joker laughed. "You are not a hypocrite, you were just doing what you thought was best."
"So you're not mad at me?"
"How could I be mad at you?"
"I don't know I just thought you might be."
"Never."
Hermione smiled, but then asked another question. "What are you going to do with this information?"
"I don't know yet."
Hermione laughed.
"Why? Are you going to go all 'softy' on me just because he's your uncle?"
"No, it's just that he pretty much let me escape tonight. I guess that I just feel like I owe him something to even everything out."
"Don't worry I wasn't planning on killing him. Even though I should, because he hit you, he took you away from me…" The Joker trailed off.
Hermione smiled and moved closer to him. "It's okay. I'm back now."
"And I'm so glad that you are."
"Me too." Hermione said and she yawned. She turned away hoping the Joker wouldn't see it.
"You need to get some sleep."
Hermione frowned. "I'm really not tired."
"I'm sure."
"I'm not, and even if I was it's not like I'm five and can choose when I want to go to sleep."
"You know, you're too stubborn for your own good."
"I know."
"Look its four o clock in the morning. You had a very long night last night. You were taken by your uncle and then you had to escape, you had to put up with those two clowns, and then you had to deal with me killing the one that kissed you and me dragging you around this place. You have to be tired."
"I guess I am pretty tired." Hermione said yawning.
"I thought so. There's a bedroom right through that door." He said pointing to a door at the back of his office.
"Oh no."
"What, what's wrong?"
"I'm not going to bed without you."
"Go lie down and I promise I'll be there in half an hour."
"You promise?"
"I promise."
"Fine." She said walking over to the door and opening it.
"Thank you." The Joker said sighing.
"For what?"
"For not being difficult."
Hermione laughed and walked into the bedroom shutting the door behind her.
For an old warehouse the room looked a lot better than Hermione would have expected. It didn't have much in it, but still in some way slightly charming. She walked to the bed and pulled the comforter and the sheets back and slid into the bed. When she laid her head down on the pillow she found she was more tired than she thought she was. She tried to fight against the urge to sleep. She wanted to wait for the Joker, but she lost the battle. She quickly fell asleep.
When the Joker walked in about thirty minutes later he was both pleased and relieved to find Hermione sleeping. He gently slid into bed next to her and draped an arm around her. He himself fell asleep quickly.
