Chapter 6
A few weeks had gone by since Bella became part of their family. She had finished up her tattoos that she wanted for now and had been working on her shield everyday and now was able to produce it anytime she wanted. She felt like it was a part of her now, not just something she feared.
She got to know the members of the Suicide Squad really well too. Even met Flag the good guy that turned into a now bad guy and worked for the Joker and his now wife June who was pregnant, Katana the silent but deadly blade wielder and Captian Boomerang. Through Boomerang didn't come around as much as the others did. Joker didn't care for him much and never put him to work. He flirted too much and it made the Joker want to kill him so Bella only met him twice.
She had found that she could use her shield for a lot more things other than just protecting. She could manipulate it and was able to pick things up and move them around, she could slam it into people shocking them and throwing them across the room. It was really fun to try out new things and the Joker was an amazing teacher. For all his craziness he was very intelligent, always thinking things through and preparing for everything and Bella admired him more and more everyday she got to know him more.
She knew without a doubt she was head over heels for both Harley and Joker but love wasn't something they professed in words to each other but she felt it in their actions and that meant more to her then empty words. She'd heard the words before and it only ended up in heartbreak so it was nice and refreshing to meet two people that she knew wouldn't fill her head with lies and words they thought she wanted to here. They wore their emotions in their actions and Bella appreciated that more than they would ever know.
Tonight Bella was sitting on the Jokers lab as they watched Harley dance for them. Bella didn't feel much like dancing tonight but she did love to watch Harley move and so did the Joker. It got them all hot and bothered and Bella could see why he watched them so much.
She was enjoying the feel of the Jokers lips on her neck and his hands running up her legs when Bella saw a young black girl run into the club with tears streaming down her face. She spotted them in the VIP section and ran towards them only to be stopped by the guards.
"Baby look." Bella said and Joker looked to where she was pointing and frowned and motioned for the guard to let her in. Harley had seen this as well and was climbing into the booth and sat next to Bella.
"That's Dead shots little girl, Zoe." Harley said as the girl ran up to them.
"Mr. Joker. Please you have to help my dad." She pleaded and the Joker looked at her with a raised brown, he didn't know how to deal with kids so he turned and looked at the girls.
"Honey, what happened to your dad?" Bella ask her and she took a few deep breaths before replying.
"Someone took him. I was in bed and I heard loud noises in the living room. I peeked out my door and saw my dad talking with someone. I couldn't see his face but he gave my dad some kind of shot and he went to sleep. Then they took him." She said and the Joker ordered Frost to gather up the rest of the Squad immediately.
"How did you get here?" Harley ask the girl as she pulled her to sit down. The Joker let them handle the crying girl as that was not something he would be comfortable dealing with as he made calls to locate the rest of the Squad.
"I took a cab. My dad said if anything were to ever happen to him I was to come here and ask to see Mr. Joker and Miss Harley." She said and the girls nodded and took the girl to the Jokers office as he closed down the club and they waited for the rest of the squad to arrive.
An hour later Flag arrived with his wife June and Katana came in 10 mins later.
"Do we know who could have taken him?" Flag ask as he helped his wife sit down next to Dead shots little girl Zoe.
"Not yet. Have you heard from the others?" Joker ask and he shook his head.
"Not since we were all here yesterday and I haven't seen Boomerang in weeks." He said and they nodded as Killer Croc came inside dragging a knocked out body with him.
"This asshole tried to jump me when I went to get Diablo. Diablo's place is trashed so I think they took him too. Nothings brunt through so they knew to take him before he could fight back. I knocked him out and brought him with me." Croc said tossing him at the Jokers feet.
June and Zoe jumped when the man was tossed on the ground and the Joker sighed, running his hands over his face.
"They can go up to our place. I'll have men posted outside the door. They'll be safer there and they won't have to see this." The Joker said and Flag nodded.
"I'll take them." Bella said jumping up and Harley looked at her in alarm. She didn't want her out of there sight.
"It's fine. I'll just run them upstairs real quick and come back. Maybe you'll have heard from the Aussie by then and we can see if this prick will talk." Bella said kissing the Joker and Harley quickly before leading the two women out into the club and towards the elevator.
Once she got them settled and made sure the guards were standing outside the door she made her way back down stairs. When the elevator opened into the club Bella gasp as she felt someone cover her mouth.
"Where's the crazy bitch, Miss Shield?" a man hissed into her ear and Bella slammed her shield into him sending him flying into the wall. He screamed in pain and alerted the others who came running out of the office just as Bella ran towards them and into Jokers arms.
Joker growled in anger as he ordered his men to capture the prick but the man was fast and was able to escape out the front door and into a waiting car.
"Son of a bitch." The Joker screamed in rage as he pulled Bella and Harley back into his office. He was so pissed that someone tried to take Bella again that he wanted to hurt someone.
"Neither of you are leaving my sight until these people are dead, got it." The Joker hissed and the both nodded, knowing he was just worried.
"He wanted Harley. He ask me where the crazy bitch was. Why is someone after the squad?" Bella said. He had both girls sitting on his desk and within reach of him. He refused to let them out of his sight now that someone was bold enough to try and take them from him.
"There's plenty of reason it could be. It could be because we saved the world or because we killed Waller and escaped. Maybe because we work for Joker and not them, there's no way to know. Waller had a lot of enemies but she had just as may allies as well." Flag said and they all nodded.
"Wait. He called me Miss. Shield. How would they know about that? Joker hasn't let that info get out yet." Bella said and they all looked around.
"Boomerang hasn't answered and he knew. And Batman knows because Bella saved me from him using her shield. It has to be one of them." Harley said and the Joker gritted his teeth. He knew he should have killed the Aussie flirt and the fucking bat when he had the chance.
"You think Boomerang would do this. Kidnap the Squad?" Croc ask and Flag nodded.
"Yeah. He's a thief and money means more to him then loyalty. He'll do anything for the right amount of cash." Flag said and they all nodded. They had to find Boomerang.
Later that night the Jokers men hadn't come up with anything and the Joker ordered the squad to stay with them in the guest apartments until this was resolved. He didn't want to have to save and hunt down anyone else. Zoe stayed with Flag and June so they could keep an eye on her.
"What if we set up a trap?" Bella ask Joker who was pacing there living room thinking the next night when nothing new had turned up.
"What do you mean?" the Joker ask walking up towards her. She sighed knowing he wasn't going to like this.
"Well, I could maybe go walking down the street tonight and you guys could be in hiding. See if they will attack again." She said and the Joker's eyes narrowed.
"No." the Joker said and Bella huffed.
"Mr. J. I can take care of myself. The man downstairs is not talking and we need to end this before they start killing us off one by one or before they come after you." She tried to reason with him but he shoved her against the wall with his hand at her throat and growled. Bella knew he was only scared and he wasn't hurting her at all and she knew he could but he was restraining himself so she just remained calm and waited.
"I will not lose you or Harley. Do you hear me? To hell with everyone else but I won't have you used as fucking bait. We will find another way." He said and she nodded. He kissed her quickly before continuing to pace and Bella moved to sit next to Harley who had watched with wide eyes.
Bella wanted to do something, anything that would help. She wanted to keep her family safe and then she had another idea. One she didn't really like one that could cause issues. One the Joker nor Harley was going to be a fan or and hell she wasn't either but if anyone could find what the man downstairs was hiding she knew of only one person.
"Ugh I fucking really hate suggesting this but I think I know a way to get info from the asshole downstairs." She said and Joker turned and raised a brow at her. Bella curled her face in disgust before sighing.
"We need a mind reader and I know one that comes with a physic on the side. Ugh." Bella said as the words tasted like acid on her tongue and the Joker tilted his head to the side as Harley gasp. He knew who she was referring to and he damn sure knew it took everything in her to suggest this knowing her hate for these people but they needed to find Dead shot and Diablo and stop the kidnapping attempts on the rest of them before they escalated to assassination attempts.
"Why do you look worried about getting help from them pet?" Joker ask and Bella grunted.
"Because there goody too shoes, self righteous pricks. They won't agree with our way of life at all. They defiantly wont like the new me or that I'm with the two or you and I'm worried they will try and take me from you." Bella said and Joker smirked before walking over and kissing her deeply, caressing Harley's head as he stood there.
"Don't you know I always have an ace up my sleeve princess? Fear not. They may throw a fit, and they may not like the new you but I have my ways around stopping them from touching what belongs to me. Let's get these bloodsuckers and get this over with." He said and Bella nodded. She trusted him with her life and trusted him to keep her safe and keep her with him always so she closed her eyes and took a deep breath and tried not to let any worrying thoughts slip through.
