"Mr. J… tomorrow's the big day huh?" Harley says. She had just come back from the mall and changed into lingerie. He has been in such a bad mood lately… maybe I could comfort him by cuddling him. Give him all the love that life hasn't giving him Harls…
"Yeah you better be ready Harley…" The Joker responds without looking at her. He was too busy looking at his plans for tomorrow. Despite it not being his style, the Joker was taking things slow this time, Batman was nowhere to be found, and he was going to make sure that he'd turn up eventually, even if he had to burn the world down to do so.
"Oh Mr. J, why don't you drop those nasty papers down and play with me a little…? You know you wanna" She says in a husky tone. Still… he ignored her.
"No, no… that's not right!" The Joker exclaims, crumbling the paper he was writing on. He throws the paper in anger.
"Show me tiger, how to kiss you…" Harley sings. She sits on his lap and wraps her arms around him, much to the Joker's dismay.
"What… Harley get off me will ya" He mutters.
"Come on puddin', why don't you take that stress off by playing with me a little?" She whispers in his ear.
"Aw… Harley you're such a little devil aren't ya?" He says with a grin on his face, making her squeak.
"Like I said many times puddin', I'd do anything for ya… to see you happy means the world to me" She responds. Instead of responding, the Joker pushes Harley off of him.
"Tell Doodles and chuckles to get the car ready, we're going out" The Joker orders. Harley gets up and looks at him confused.
"Whatever you say puddin', but can I change first?" She asks.
"Do what you want Harley, just tell them to meet me out there in five minutes" He mutters in anger, trying his best not to get angry. Unfortunately, he still needed Harley.
"As you wish Mr. J…" She responds, trying to hold back her tears. Why has Mr. J been acting so different lately…? Where's that loving Mr. J I know and love? When did my life suddenly turn upside down…? She walks into her room and quickly changes. If she would do something wrong, her puddin' would always yell at her brutally. The least thing she wanted was to upset him. Meanwhile, the Joker kept writing scribbles on paper. He couldn't write, he couldn't think… he couldn't explain why he was feeling so angry. Batman… I'll make sure you come back to Gotham City! All I have to do is find your weakness… and why not start off with the poor defenseless citizens of Gotham…? Time to test you Batboy… let's see if you still want to protect the same people that exiled you.
While Leonora watched television, she couldn't help but feel a deep anger inside her heart. She couldn't explain why she would feel this. Every month of may I feel this same anger… doesn't change, still the same. It's as if I killed myself, took poison that went straight to my heart. Suddenly, her cell phone rings. She reaches for the table and answers the call.
"Hello… Nora speaking" She answers.
"Hey, it's Bruce… just called to see how are you" He says, Leonora rolls her eyes. What did I just get myself into?
"Fine… I'm all alone here watching Gone with the Wind" She responds.
"I was wondering if you would like to go out today, if you don't mind of course" He says. Bruce and Leonora had been dating for weeks, and with each date they had, the more smitten he was with her.
"Why would I mind an invitation from ya Wayne…?" She asks.
"When will you stop calling me Wayne…?" He asks, chuckling.
"I'll find the day Wayne" She giggles.
"I'll pick you up in a few minutes okay…" He responds.
"Sure whatever you want Wayne" She answers.
"See you later Leonora…" He says hanging up the phone. Leonora… you've brought light back into my life. A light I've been denied for many years. Could we possibly have a future together? Would you accept me for who I am…? Bruce asks himself, suddenly, Alfred walks into the living room.
"Going out with Ms. Santoro sir…?" He asks with a smile on his face.
"I am…" Bruce responds.
"You seems different sir… and I like this change in you, despite our quarrel" Alfred comments, Bruce rolls his eyes.
"Alfred I don't want to talk about that anymore, I feel guilty enough that the Joker almost killed Gordon's family" Bruce says.
"I never said Batman is guilty sir…" Alfred answers and adds, "But I know that Batman will soon do the right thing. Hope you have a good date sir" Alfred says, leaving the room. As Bruce walked to his room, Alfred's words rung through his head Batman will soon do the right thing. He thought about the Joker and his return. I can't let him bring down the innocent people of Gotham. Batman has to rise again… Bruce thinks to himself. Bruce turns his direction and walks towards his office. The Joker wants Batman, he'll get Batman alright. I won't let him win that easily. Alfred sees him from the kitchen and catches up with him.
"Weren't you going out with Ms Santoro sir…?" Alfred asks.
"Nothing in the world would make me happier, but the Joker's back in town and Gotham needs me" Bruce responds, Alfred couldn't help but smile. I knew you'd do the right thing Bruce. Alfred thinks to himself.
When Leonora was finally dressed and ready for her date with Bruce, she gets a phone call.
"Hello… Nora speaking" She answers.
"Is this Ms. Santoro speaking…?" Alfred asks.
"Yes this is her…" Leonora answers.
"I'm calling to inform you that Mr. Wayne won't be able to make it to your date after all. He truly apologizes for the sudden urgency down at Wayne Enterprise"
"Really… well guess that's what I get for dating a business man huh?" She complains, rolling her eyes and adds, "Pardon my rudeness Mr. Pennyworth" She apologizes.
"I understand you very well Ms. Santoro" He responds.
"Might as well understand right…? Well good night Mr. Pennyworth and thank you"
"Good night to you as well Ms. Santoro" Alfred responds, hanging up the phone. Suddenly, Rosemary walks into the apartment.
"Hey Leo… what's up…?" She asks, closing the door behind her.
"Nothing…" She responds, trying to not let her anger get the best of her.
"You sure look sexy tonight…" Rosemary giggles and adds, "a little black dress always turns your guy on" She winks.
"He called me and asked if we could have dinner, and suddenly he was called to Wayne Enterprise" Leonora says, rolling her eyes.
"Well at least I'm here now… wanna play canasta?" Rosemary asks.
"Might as well right…" Leonora giggles and adds, "Even though I always beat you" She says with a smirk on her face.
"Not this time… Steven's been teaching me" Rosemary gushes.
"Please… that fool couldn't even play a game of goldfish!" Leonora says in laughter.
"He almost beat you last time!" Rosemary exclaims.
As Commissioner Gordon stood on the roof of Gotham's police station, he looked around Gotham city and feared. The Joker's back and we don't know what he's really planning. Batman's gone and without him, the Joker's invincible.
"Commissioner, we've been trying to call Batman for years and he never shows up…" Officer Fernandez says.
"I know he'll return. He won't let Gotham City burn in the hands of the Joker" Commissioner Gordon responds.
"Thank you for having faith in me Commissioner" Both men jump when they hear Batman's voice.
"Batman… you're back!" Commissioner Gordon says with glee. Our hero is finally back…
