Chapter 16: Not so Isolated
I was uncomfortable, Joker took the liberty to curl up on my lap and fall asleep. I was getting the feeling back in my limbs but they were still stiff and hard to move. I don't know what the hell they stuck me with but I don't ever want it again, but I had the feeling they would use it all the time on me. I cursed Batman. The only thing I ever did was maybe throw a few cars around and sleep with some questionable people. The hell did I do to deserve being locked up for? I sighed. 'Fuck this I'm going Rogue, sorry Randi'. I wanted to stretch out and pop my bones back into place but I was half afraid to wake up Joker. His laugh hurt my ears to all hell and he smelled like he hadn't taken a shower in days.
I really hoped that he was just ranting and delusional about making me his wife. I managed to shake my head from side to side softly and I blinked to relieve the burning in my eyes. I don't know what was in his hair but damn it had a smell to it that could strip paint off the walls. I looked around the padded room looking for a way to escape. Joker rolled onto his back and let out a deep sigh.
"Whatcha thinking about?" Had he just been pretending to be asleep the past few hours? I licked my lips hoping that I was at least able to talk.
"How much of a bitch my new therapist is." My throat was so dry I swear I could feel sand dripping from my mouth.
"Oh they're all like that. They try to find some little flaw and dig right in like jackals. What did they say you had?" He sat up and I wiggled my legs to get the blood flowing back to my feet.
"Body dysmorphic disorder." I huffed and wiggled my toes. I hated that pins and needles feeling but it was all over not just in my feet.
"Oh I've heard that one before." In an instant Joker had his fingers in my mouth and started tugging on my fangs. They cut his finger open and he pulled his hand away laughing. "Oh that is just precious."
"God Joker even your blood tastes funny." I gagged at the strange taste his blood left on my tongue. He tasted like chemicals and gasoline. I wiped the blood from my chin with a numb hand and dragged my knees to my chest.
"Aww don't worry my little snicker doodle." I lifted an eyebrow and licked my fangs. He paused for a moment before his grin grew larger. "Wanna see how other parts of me taste?" He actually waggled his eyebrows at me and I groaned.
"Go away Joker." I staggered to my feet and started pacing; I wanted to get this drug fully out of my system. Joker just stood up and paced with me as if we were out on a stroll.
"If it hasn't escaped your attention we are quite confined in here. Nice padded room, a killer designer jacket and a suave charismatic stallion to keep you company."
"Sorry not interested." I swear the grin on his face faltered for a moment. Was he used to women throwing themselves at his feet?
"Oh you don't have to be. Once my mind is made up I don't exactly like to change it." He pushed me up against the wall and got nose to nose with me. "Just think of the protection I could offer your and your family. Being Mrs. J can't be all that bad can it?" His hand trailed up to caress my neck and his eyes were on the bruises almost fully healed. "Now just play nice and when the time comes jump into bed with daddy." He giggled and pushed away from me. I rubbed my neck and watched him start dancing around the room to a tune that was only playing in his head. He hummed from time to time and I was about ready to climb the walls.
Six hours. Six hours had gone by since Joker started dancing and he finally passed out in a heap on the far corner of the room. He had covered himself with my straightjacket as a mock blanket and I was freezing. It was like they turned the air conditioning on high and pumped the room full of it. I couldn't see my breath yet but I was sure it was that cold. I wondered if I could steal the jacket back without waking him up. Taking the risk I crept over and started pulling the jacket off him. His eyes popped open and he grabbed my wrist.
"Now what do you think you're doing mama J?" He sounded groggy but his grip was solid on my wrist.
"I'm just cold Joker. I was hoping you'd share the jacket." He chuckled and tugged on my arm until I was kneeling in front of him.
"Wanna snuggle?" He rolled onto his back and grinned up at me. I could feel heat radiating off his body and I sighed. I'll just break his legs later.
"Fine but keep your hands to yourself." I curled up next to him my chest to his side and put my head on his shoulder. He wrapped the jacket over us both and rested his hand on my hip.
"Oh I'd never dream of taking advantage of such a nubile beauty." He leered at me.
"I'll throw a car at you." I was really throwing that line around a lot lately. Maybe I do have some unresolved anger issues.
"Oh kinky." He laid his head back against the padded floor and closed his eyes. "We're probably going to be in here for awhile so get comfy." He yawned and was out like a light. It took me awhile to fall asleep but finally I just listened to his heart and drifted off to sleep. Strangely enough even his heartbeat sounded like a chuckle.
I woke up with a heavy weight on my chest. Cracking my eyes open I looked down to find that Joker had not only opened the top half of my jumpsuit top but was nestled between my breasts fast asleep. He was wrapped around me and one of his legs were nestled between mine. I tried to move but his arms tightened around my middle and he just nuzzled further against my flesh. I wasn't in the mood so I started poking him.
"Keep poking me and I'll bite that finger off." He didn't bother to even open his eyes.
"Get off of me Joker, I'm not a pillow." I wiggled under him and his eyes finally popped open. He looked up at me and groaned.
"But I'm so comfy." Was he pouting?
"Don't care, get off." I gave him a push and he sat up and started fixing his hair. I rubbed the paint off my skin and closed my top. I sighed and stood up, stretching my muscles and pacing once again.
"You're no fun." He was sitting in the corner yawning and looking like he could fall back asleep in a moment. I heard someone open the door at the far end of the hall and the overhead lights came back on. I rushed to the door and peeked out the open slot. Two guards stopped outside the cell.
"Step back or we will shoot you." I stepped back and raised my hands as they opened the door. I was handcuffed and led out of the room. I took a breath of fresh air and I heard the door slam behind me. Joker was up against the door in a moment.
"Hey don't take her away, this was just getting good. I was this close to being in her pants." He spread his fingers an inch apart and laughed.
"Don't flatter yourself Joker." I grumbled and was led back out into the bright light of day. They marched me back to my glass cell and uncuffed me once I was inside. I took the time to rush to the bathroom and wash up in the sink. I had just wrung out my hair when I heard an excited giggle behind me.
"Oh Alice you've returned to me!" Jervis was jumping up and down in his cell with a look of pure joy on his face.
"God D where have you been?" Edward's voice rang out down the hall.
"How long was I gone?" I walked over to the glass and tried to see down to Edward's cell.
"You were gone two days D." Jonathan's tired voice rang out close to me.
"I was in isolation with Joker." I sighed and watched Jervis continue his happy dance.
"Was he yelling through the walls?" Harvey's voice sounded like he'd just woken up.
"No they put me in the same room as him." I was met by silence all around. Jervis stopped dancing and stared at me in shock.
"They put my Alice where?" He growled and paced his cell.
"They did what?" Jonathan growled.
"They drugged me with some paralytic crap then threw me in a room with him. The only horrible thing he did was tell me that I have to marry him and have no choice in the matter." I sighed and I heard something punch the wall next to me.
"I'm going to kill him!" Jonathan was growling. The whole gallery went silent as several riot guards marched into view.
"Okay ladies its shower time, everyone line up." The doors slid open and I slipped out to line up behind Jervis. We were marched to a dingy looking shower room. The guys were showering in one block and another was for the ladies. I was the only one in the ladies block and only a small swinging door kept the room private. I sighed and stripped down before turning the water on and hoping I had enough time to bathe.
"Joker was foolish to touch you child." Jonathan's voice was behind me and I spun around to face him and all his naked glory.
"Jonathan." My voice was hushed and I nervously glanced around. "How did you get in here?"
"Hush child. Keep your voice down or we'll be caught."
"Caught doing what?" I was pushed back up against the wall as Jonathan kissed me. He placed his hands on either side of my hips and lightly dug his nails into my skin. His mouth trailed down placing bruising kisses along my flesh leaving his mark all over my neck and chest.
"You belong to me." He quickly lifted my legs around his waist and shoved himself inside me with a grunt. I gasped into his shoulder as he pinned me against the wall again. Within a few thrusts he had me turned on and was buried fully inside of me. His dark eyes trapped me in their gaze as he took me against the wall, the sounds of the shower room muffling our noise. He planted his lips on mine and swallowed my panting moans as he pounded me boneless. My legs tightened around his waist pulling him closer and he pulled me away from the wall quickly.
There was a small bench in the middle of the shower and he laid me down on it before wrapping his arms around my hips, raising them up to meet his. He was on his knees between my legs with my hips in the air as he thrusted down into me. He closed his eyes and looked up to the ceiling as I bit back a scream when I came. My back arched and my body locked up and I could even feel him shuddering as he pumped me full of his hot liquid. The room was spinning once I came down from my high and he was still buried inside me with my hips lifted against him. He was panting and his nails had drawn blood on my hips. Neither of us could move for several minutes and we just stared at one another as we tried to calm our racing hearts. Soon though he lowered my legs from his waist and pulled free of my body. He leaned down and bruised my lips with a kiss.
"Remember D, shower time is Scarecrow time." He groaned as he stood and helped me up. I winced as I was throbbing from the action and probably bruised to all hell. He chuckled and pressed up against my body again. "Perfect fit D. Now stay quiet child this isn't as easy as getting in." With that he kissed me then snuck back out to the men's shower. My legs were shaking and I just stood under the spray hoping I was getting clean. After a few more moments the showers clicked off before I could scrub Jonathan out of me and I quickly wrapped a dingy towel around my body.
"Alright ladies that was long enough to scrape the mold off most of ya. Now wrap a towel around your unmentionables and march back to your cells. New jumpsuits are waiting for you and you will wear them. Don't go getting attached because they'll just get replaced next shower." I walked the best I could out of the shower and got back in line behind a half naked Jervis. I tried to ignore the eyes on me as I held the towel closed to keep prying eyes off my flesh. We were marched back to our cells and I stood in the middle of my cell wondering how I could get dressed without anyone seeing.
"Don't worry Alice I'll be a perfect gentleman." Jervis turned around and kept his towel on.
"Thank you Hatter." I quickly dried off and slipped into the issued briefs and bra. I slid the orange jumper pants and shirt on before adjusting them so they didn't pinch on more sensitive areas. "Okay Jervis I'm done. I'll just be staring at this wall until you are." I motioned to the wall in front of me. My back was to his cell and I heard his towel drop and the rustle of fabric. I dried my hair the best I could with the damp towel and wondered what I would do with it until next shower day. When was next shower day anyways?
"All done Alice." I turned around and Jervis was dressed and looking comfortable in a damp jumpsuit. His hair was still dripping and he had a big grin on his face.
"You'll catch a cold if you don't dry your hair Hatter." His eyes lit up and he quickly grabbed his towel.
"Oh you are ever so thoughtful my dear." He dried his hair then hung his wet towel over his sink to dry. I followed his example and sat down on the bed. I yawned and closed my eyes for a moment. Well I thought it was a moment but when I woke back up I had curled up under the covers and drooled over half my pillow. How long was I out? The doors to the cells slid open and I sat up and rubbed my eyes.
"Come on D. Dinner time." Jonathan was leaning against the door to my cell with a smirk on his face. I climbed out of bed and rubbed my hair groaning as I felt it was knotted up already. He wrapped his arm around my waist and led me to the cafeteria. Apparently the food was drugged differently then morning meals and he helped me pick out the untainted food. "Don't want you to get hooked on the stuff they feed us." He whispered.
"It still looks like someone threw up on my tray." I sighed and poked at the mass of blobby forms covering the surface. I was surrounded by the four guys again and they ate with no problems.
"Just eat it D. You'll need your strength." Edward sighed from my right and pointed at the green blob on my plate. "That one kind of tastes like celery." I took a bite and tried to swallow it. "I said kind of." He quickly shoved some of his own green blob into his mouth when he saw me gag.
"Don't worry Alice the brown one is meat I think." Jervis pointed to a blob on my plate and was rewarded by a stab in the hand by Jonathan's spork again.
"Just try a little bit of everything D. If you don't eat they'll make you eat and it will be the food with the drugs in it." Jonathan leaned against me making it look like he was eying my plate. "You're going to need your strength for next shower day, four days from now." He whispered and I tried to concentrate on my food. My body ached from the thought of another shower day and I scooped some of the food into my mouth and choked it down.
"Don't eat too fast, we've got rec. room after this and if you get sick they send you back into isolation." Harvey groaned and spooned some of his own green goop into his mouth. The next several moments were filled with us collectively trying to choke down our slop and trying to save our chocolate milk until the very end to chug and wash the taste away.
