Return to Gotham

Chapter 15

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.

It was nightfall and Hermione and the Joker were outside the mansion. They had gotten past security again with ease and were now planting charges.

"Just a few more charges set inside should do the trick." The Joker whispered.

They went in through the back and once again started planting charges. Hermione walked ahead of him looking around the mansion remembering some of the few times she had stayed here when she was younger. She was glad she hadn't stayed here very often or the mansion would have meant something to her. But luckily it didn't mean to her what it meant to Bruce. All of a sudden she saw someone walk across the hallway. It was Bruce and he was dressed as Batman. Hermione flung herself back around the corner. The Joker looked up with questioning eyes but he found his answer as Batman walked around the corner.

"What?" Batman mumbled clearly taken by surprise.

The Joker jumped up and pulled his knife out, and the two started fighting. Hermione watched helplessly. She knew there was really nothing she could do. But then her adrenaline was sparked as she saw what happened next. Batman had gotten the Joker's knife away from him and now had the Joker pinned down with the knife pressed to his throat. Hermione reacted.

"No. Stop it. Please, stop it." She screamed.

"We really should stop this fighting or we are all going to die. Those charges are on timers."

"I could kill you and get myself and the girl out."

That's when the Joker tested Batman. "But would you really kill me considering…" The Joker trailed off.

"Considering what?"

"Considering how much I mean to your niece."

Batman looked at him shocked.

"That's right, I know who you are Batman, or should I call you Bruce."

Batman/Bruce kept a firm grip on the Joker keeping him pinned down put dropped the knife.

"I didn't think so." The Joker said. "But don't worry I won't reveal you true identity, that would ruin all the fun for me."

Batman/Bruce believed that. He knew the Joker would keep his true identity unrevealed for his own reasons. He removed his grip from the Joker and stood up. The Joker also stood up.

"Now, let's all walk out of here alive." The Joker said walking back to Hermione.

"Unrig the charges." Batman/Bruce yelled.

"I'm sorry it's too late for that." The Joker said looking down at the timer. "There are only forty five seconds left." He said grabbing Hermione and running out of the mansion.

Bruce looked around one final time and ran out himself. When he got outside the Joker and Hermione were no where to be seen. And then the mansion started blowing up behind him.

-----

The Joker and Hermione were safely away from the mansion and the cops that were now arriving. The Joker looked at Hermione.

"I know that tonight was a close call. I'm almost certain that if I hadn't revealed that I knew who he was your uncle would have killed me. If you want we can leave and never return. I can give all of this up."

Hermione looked at him shocked. "No. I like this life, and he won't ever kill you. He loves me to much to kill you. He knows how much you mean to me even if I have betrayed him he still loves me. And you, you wouldn't be happy and you know you wouldn't. No, I think that we're destined to this forever."

"If that's what you want."

"It's what we both want."

-----

So the Joker and Hermione stayed in Gotham to forever cause chaos.

Hope you like it because this is the end. No more sequels no more story this is how it's going to end. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop Joker/Hermione fanfics. I will write other crossovers about the two but they will have different plot lines than this one and will have nothing to do with Worlds Collide and its sequel Return to Gotham. Once again I hope you enjoyed it.
