Joker and Ivy

Chapter 5

Arkham Asylum:

Ivy groaned in annoyance as the lights were turned back on, her first day back at Arkham, she realized bitterly. She had escaped last time thanks to a riot caused by the Joker. Now she would have to come with a scheme of her own and escape or worse ally herself with some of the other rogues. She groaned in annoyance "None of this would have happened if the clown had managed to get away" she told under her breath and glared at the room next to her, where she knew the Joker was. She heard a guard knock on her cell, she looked up in annoyance.

"You have been called to Sharp´s office, get moving freak" the burly man told her, she nodded and stood up. She knew the procedure like the back of her hand by now, they would tell her to go to Quincy´s office, she would be assigned a new guard to watch over her and her doctor would be there as well to express how disappointed she was with her. She allowed the guard to walk her trough the stretch corridors of the Asylum; she looked out of the corner of her eye to see who of the rogues were here. Harvey was here, the hatter as well… looks like Batman had his hands free this week. Almost everyone was here with exception of Bane and Harley. The guard pushed her with the baton that he was carrying signaling her to move faster.

Her face turned into a frown; oh he would be the first one to die when she got out. They finally arrived at Sharp´s office; she tapped her foot impatiently waiting for the door to open, after a minute a loud 'click' was heard from the other side of the room. The door opened to reveal the frowning face of Quincy Sharp, owner of Arkham Asylum. He signaled her to sit, which she complied eagerly, she hated to stand around for them to watch, she knew both of them were staring at her like if she was a piece of meat.

'Pigs' she thought in disgust.

At her left Doctor Penelope Young cleared her throat to catch the attention of everyone in the room. Sharp nodded allowing her to speak "Hello Pamela"-"Ivy" the red head told the doctor.

Dr. Young sighted "Pamela, you know we only use your real names here, not the persona that you chose to be" she took a photo out of her note-pad and showed it to Ivy. She raised an eyebrow at the sight before her; it was one of the guards from Arkham he was in a full body cast so she couldn't see his face. "Is that supposed to make me feel something Doctor?"

Young nodded "yes, is the guard that was in charge of you, he said that when you escaped, you searched for him and threw him out of a window, for no reason" Ivy shrugged "He kept trying to hit me in his spare time, I of course managed to evade the attacks and give him some of my own, he would not tell his partners that he got beaten by a girl so he instead killed one of my darlings in revenge… he had it coming I hope he never walks again"

Sharp frowned deeply and Young looked surprised "He attacked you, why didn't you tell me!?" Ivy smiled "You never asked and if I had told you anything you would have assigned a new guard… and that wouldn't do cause I needed my revenge" she told them in calm tone, she knew it would get on Quincy´s nerves "Interesting, we´ll talk more about your need for revenge in our next session" Young told her with a small smiled as she wrote something down on her note-pad.

"Now then" Sharp told Ivy "You will be assigned a new guard, your cell is now in the red corridor" Sharp told her firmly. 'The red corridor, that's interesting' Ivy thought. The red corridor is where they kept the most dangerous or unstable prisoners, Scarecrow, Joker, Bane, Clayface all shered that corridor and the elevator leading to Killer Croc´s lair where there as well.

"Your now guard will take you back to your cell" Sharp continued "Oh and let me make something clear, this time you won't escape" he told her sharply. Ivy smirked and stood up, that´s what he always said. She looked at her right and saw a guard approaching. She raised an eyebrow a female guard, that´s new. She looked nervous and tiny, her short brown hair tied in a pony tail and her face looked gentle, why would they put this woman to guard her, where they really that unstaffed or where trying to offend her. "M-ove" the woman told her nervously. Ivy smiled; such a sweet voice "Darling you only need to ask me kindly" the guard looked at her feet then at Sharp. "Please" she added in hushed tone, Ivy started to walk out of the office, she threw a glare at Sharp and then walked into the hallway. The guard grabbed her shoulder gently and awkwardly 'Jesus is this woman for real' her escape might happen sooner than she expected. She decided to test the new guard "So what´s your name?" Ivy told her, she felt her stiffen "Why… Why do you want to know?" she had to give her credit she hadn't squeaked like she expected her to. "Oh I would hate to refer to you as 'guard' every day" she told her smoothly. "Emily" the guard told her after a second of thought "What a nice name" Emily blushed, Ivy smiled this woman was easy… but nice that was new. "What do you wish me to call you?" Emily told her as they approached the red corridor. "Ivy will do" Emily nodded and opened with her card key the giant door that led to the red corridor. Ivy´s eyes opened wide in shock as she entered the hallway and she heard Emily let out a soft gasp. The hallway had blood on it and the medics where covering a body with a bag. Emily ignored it as best as she could and continued to walk Ivy to her cell. Ivy stopped and turned to Scarecrow "What happened here" Crane smiled and shook his head "The Joker woke up faster than expected, he started to moan in pain and the guards that beat him up yesterday arrived to see what was the problem… he managed to steal one of the guys pocket knife and stabbed them to dead, I don't know how he managed to shrug off his pain but he managed to take on three guards and kill them" Emily shuddered behind Ivy "Where is he now?" Ivy asked Crane. Before Crane could get a word out they felt the elevator arrive. Ivy´s eyes widened and she grabbed Emily´s hand and dragged her to her cell "Open it, quickly!" Emily did as she was told and when the door opened Ivy dragged her inside and closed the door. Emily stared at her in shock but Ivy put a finger over her mouth "Killer Croc is coming and if he sees you… you´re done for!" she hissed at Emily. Emily trembled slightly. Soon they heard the loud footsteps of Croc; ten guards pointed their weapons at him.

Croc sniffed the air and turned to look around "I smell fear and blood" he growled out, he looked at Ivy in the eyes and Ivy would have been lying if she didn't admit that a shiver went down her spine. He stared at her for a second before he took a step towards her cell "You´re new here" Ivy swallowed the lump that was in her throat and glared at Croc "Yes Croc I was moved here for bad behavior and the blood you smell isn't mine" Croc was sniffed once more before they heard and unmistakable cackle "Croc old boy is that you!?" the Joker told the giant with arms wide open the guards behind him trembling in fear.

"I´m flattered that you smelled the work of yours truly, you see sometimes guards over step their boundaries and Arkham needs some new faces…happier faces" he added with a grin. Croc didn't look so amused "You´re lucky there´s ten guards here pointing at my skull or you will be nothing but shreds by now" Croc threatened, but the Joker only smirked even wider "But I took care of guard William for you" Croc stood still for a moment then he laughed. Ivy didn't think there was a laugh scarier than Joker´s but apparently she was wrong "The good for nothing blond hair looser" Joker nodded happily "The very same, you should have seen his eyes widen in fear and pain as the knife slit his throat" he passed a finger over his neck for emphasis. Croc appeared pleased "Bastard had it coming, though he could use the electric collar on me for fun" and with that he moved towards the exit, probably going to a session with his psychologist… Ivy pitied him or her. When Croc left the room Ivy extended a hand towards her guard "Are you all right?" she hated being civil but she needed her in her side, if she managed to get the guard as a "friend" escaping would be way easier. Emily took it and stood up she thanked Ivy and exited the door with caution; she closed it and looked at Ivy "I´ll be back at twelve with your lunch and then I'll take you to the shower, Ok?" Ivy nodded "Thanks, I don't think I would have kept it together if that…thing started chasing me" Emily told her softly. Ivy snorted "Don't be, all of us are scared of Croc… with the exception of the clown" Ivy told her as she moved her head towards the Joker´s cell. She could see him resting against the wall, his hands behind his head and a smug look in his face. Emily nodded and left Ivy alone once more. "Pzzt Pammy" Ivy rolled her eyes "Is that your new guard, she´s very pretty" Joker told her from his cell "Would you mind changing with me, I don't like mine he nearly peed himself when they told him who he was guarding"-"No" Ivy cut him off. "Oh come on Pamela don't be like that, if you don't quit being so grumpy I won't include you in my new big blow-out" Ivy looked at him in shock "You are already…"-"Yes and it will be just… fantastic!" he the proceeded to laugh at the top of his lung, his laugh filling the entire hall.
