Chapter 13- Everybody's Fool
The Joker bit back a giggle as he watched Harley shoved an old man into a trunk as he talked to the hostess in a fake British accent.
"Thank you, Mr. Eccleston for agreeing to take over for Mr. Baker." The hostess said and the Joker held up his hand to politely cut her off.
"No need to thank me, love, I'm just glad I was here to help you." The Joker said in false kindness causing the hostess to blush and flirtily giggle. The Joker quickly wrapped his arm around Harley's waist and pulled her to him when she went to attack the hostess. "I don't think I introduced my lovely assistant, Molly. Say hello to the nice woman, Molly."
"Hello." Harley said, her normal high pitch voice lowered to a more normal pitch and her Brooklyn accent hidden expertly.
"I, uh, I should go and announce you two." The hostess stuttered before turning and fleeing from them. Once the Joker was sure the hostess was gone the Joker spun and grabbed Harley's throat tight enough to choke her and pulled her face close to his.
"You almost ruined everything, Harley. If you can't control your jealousy then I will have to leave you at home, my dear." The Joker hissed staring into her watery blue eyes.
"I'm sorry, Mista J, when it comes to you, I can control myself." Harley choked out and the Joker sighed before letting her throat go and ran a loving hand down her cheek.
"I know, Doll-face." The Joker whispered before giving her a soft kiss on her lips and pulled away from her just in time to hear them being announced. "Show time." Harley nodded and twirled out onto the stage.
The Joker silently counted down from 90 before he stepped into the back of the 'magic' box and let yawned theatrically when Harley opened the box. The Joker faked a shock looked before jumping out of the box.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am indeed James Eccleston, and this is my lovely assistant Molly." The Joker said holding out his hand towards Harley who curtsied with a cute smile. The Joker bit back the urge to growl at all the men who catcalled at his Harley. The Joker pulled out a white handkerchief and, with a sleight of hand, pulled a bright red rose. He handed Harley the rose and she took it with a smile.
"Isn't she a doll?" He asked the crowd agreed and the Joker smiled. With the same handkerchief and another sleight of hand, the Joker let out a live dove. The crowd clapped and the Joker bowed.
"And for my next trick, I will need a volunteer from the crowd." The Joker said and began to point at the people in the crowd. "Ennie. Meenie. Miney." The Joker spotted a young girl with blond hair and green eyes sitting at a table with her parents. The second the Joker spotted her , he began to wonder if that was what his and Harley's daughter if they had one. "YOu." He said pointing at the girl.
"Me?" The young girl asked in shock.
"Come on, sweety,, I don't bite." The Joker said holding his hand out for her. The girl looked at her parents who encouraged her. The Joker watched the young girl slide from her seat, she couldn't have been older than 6. The Joker bent and held his hand out for her to grab so he could help her on stage. He lifted the girl onto his hips and smiled at her.
"Hello sweetheart, what's your name?" He asked her.
"Britney." She said shyly.
"That's a pretty name." The Joker said. "Say, Britney, do you like magicians?" Britney shook her head no and the crowd laughed. "No? That hurts my feelings." Britney smiled and hid her face in the crook of the Joker's neck.
"I'm sorry." Britney said and the Joker chuckled.
"Would you like to help me, even though you don't like me?" The Joker asked and Britney nodded. "I'm happy." The Joker then laid her into a box, setting her head outside of it before closing the box. "Now just stay perfectly still. This won't hurt a bit." With the help of Harley he 'cut' the girl in half and showed the crowd.
"Give the crowd a big wave, sweety." Harley said and Britney waved at the crowd causing them to clap. The Joker and Harley then put the girl 'back together'. The Joker whipped his forehead with the handkerchief, wiping some of the makeup off causing the crowd to gasp.
"Oops. Looks like the jig is up, toots." The Joker said and Harley took off her mask.
"Anything you say, Puddin." Harley said and the crowd suddenly began to panic. A second later Batman swooped down from the ceiling as a few of his henchmen pulled out some gun. The little girl screamed.
"WAIT!" The Joker yelled before gently opening th box and picked up the girl and handed her to her mother who ran away the second her daughter was safe in her arms. "Don't hit the girl." He ordered his men before turning his attention back to Batman.
"Okay, I'm ready to play."
