Author's Note: I didn't watch the movie yet. I am scared by the poor reviews... Now my story will obviously be inconsistent with the plot of the movie, but I am not sure in what ways.
Revised Author's Note: I watched the movie and it was awesome. Although it definitely needed way more Joker and Harley scenes in it. Whoever decided to edit out the Joker was a total idiot.
Pale moonlight blossomed from the window and cascaded into the room. He was sleeping, his inked chest rising and falling with the beat of the universe. I was nestled beside him, my head resting on his shoulder. I traced my finger along the lines of the tattoo on his chest. He let out a small chuckle and his eyes fluttered open.
"That tickles baby" He said looking down at me. He ran his fingers down the length of my blonde curls. I moved my head closer to his chest so that I could hear the beating of his heart.
"I love you, puddin'" I said absentmindedly. I felt his body stiffen underneath me. I suddenly felt that I had said something terribly wrong. But his body quickly relaxed again.
"Go back to sleep pumpkin" He cooed finally. I looked up into his eyes. They seemed wistful.
He rubbed small circles into my back and soon the night took me.
I dreamed that I was bathed in light. Pools of color swirled around me, baptizing me. I was floating on the river of destiny. I drifted lazily until it became a torrent of raging bubbling pools. I tried to swim but I felt acid water fill my lungs. My lungs burned and suddenly I realized that I was on fire.
I awoke in the pitch blackness and I was alone. I was disoriented for a moment, forgetting where I was, what time it was, who I was. It took copious amounts of blinking before my eyes adjusted to the darkness. The pale moonlight that seemed so pure before had receded. I flipped on the lights. There was a switch just to the far left of me. I could hear the electricity humming
A note sat propped up by my broken teddy bear. It sat on the side table. My hands were shaking as I reached for it.
Gotta run, Sorry – J
Blind rage fermented my insides. I quickly put on some clothes I found in the dresser. I dramatically shoved my arms into the sleeves of a blue blouse. I grabbed the keys and gun off the nightstand. It turned out that the keys the bastard had given me were to a motorcycle, a harley. It was the only thing left in the lot. Everything else was clear out. All his henchmen, everything was gone. He had abandoned me.
I hit the road with no idea of where to go. How would I find him and make him pay? It was then that I saw a metallic car run a red light in front of me. I turned right to follow it. As if the other half of my soul were in that car, I chased after it. I knew it was him.
His license plate read "LAFFS3". With blind fury I raced ahead of the car and cut it off. He slammed on his breaks to avoid running me over. I hopped off my motorcycle and went straight for the car. I slammed my hands on the hood of the red metallic beast.
"Open the door" I screamed. It probably sounded muted to him. After a few moments of staring me down, he realized that I wasn't moving. He finally got out of the car. A pedestrian car pulled up behind us and started honking.
"Go home, doctor" He said. His voice was razor blades that cut me.
"What are you talking about, puddin'?" I said confused. I reached up to touch his face. He closed his eyes and turned away from me breaking the hold.
"Go back little bird, go back to your life before me" He said finally. I was beyond furious. Anger was cooking up my insides. I pulled my gun on him. He looked at me hard. Then he leaned his forehead on to the end of the gun.
I could pull the trigger now, and all of this would be over. I could go back to my regular dull existence. But I didn't want to. I wanted him.
The guy from the car behind us got out and walked toward us.
"I don't care what the hell is going on here. You better move your car or I'll ..." He began.
I guess I will never hear the end of his threat because I shot the man right in the spot between his eyes. He keeled over like a carnival duck.
I turned my gun back to Mr. J. He waved his hands into the air.
"Lets see a magic trick" He said, eyes wide. I don't know how he did it but he had some how disarmed me. He pointed the gun at his temple.
"I am going to disappear" He said continuing with his trick. He disappeared,
My jaw radiated pain into my skull. I briefly registered that he had just struck me. I must have passed out because we were no longer on the street. I was strapped into the passenger seat. I heard myself groan back to life.
"I'm glad you're up" Mr. J responded to my sudden burst back into the land of the living.
"Where are we going?" I heard my self say timidly. He didn't respond, his expression was intense and his eyes were focused on the road.
I placed my hand on his shoulder. His eyes softened a fraction.
"We are going for a swim" He responded after a moment of reluctance.
I took my hand off his shoulder. I gingerly placed it on the part of my chin where he struck me. I saw him give me a sideways perfunctory glance.
"Sorry about that pumpkin" He said. His brow is furrowed and his mouth is set in a hard line.
"It's okay" I said instantly. I mentally cursed myself. Why was it so easy to forgive him? I was giving him all power in exchange for sweet nothings.
The neon sign of ACE chemicals came into view. I suddenly realized what he meant by "going for a swim" The doors were open and there was once security guard in the whole place manning the front desk.
I am guessing that they thought people weren't interested in stealing bleaching agents given the lack of security
The guard looked up at us in surprise. He had been reading a naughty magazine to pass the time.
"Hey, what do you think you guys are doing? You better get out of here or..." He began.
I shot him right between the eyes. Mr. J let out a chortle. I felt my stomach flutter. He grabbed my hand and led me into the basement where the chemical vats were.
Slowly he led me out to a precipice that fell directly below into the vats. Steam rose up from the vats giving the air a hazy feel. I looked down at my destiny.
"Question... would you die for me?" He asked.
I turned to him... unable to fathom why I was so certain.
"Yes" I said looking him right in the eye. My voice sounded completely devoid of doubt.
"That's to0 easy..." He replied "Would you... would you live for me?" He asked.
His eyes were pleading with me. I knew what he was asking of me. There would be no return to Dr. Harleen Francis Quinzel. There would be no medical accolades. There would be no praise from the masses. I had to lay down my old life and never return.
"Yes" I replied
"Careful, do not say this oath thoughtlessly" He began. He placed his hand around my mouth. I felt my body surrender itself to his touch.
"Desire becomes surrender, surrender becomes power. Do you want this?" He asked.
"I do" I said staring deep into his eyes. My words sent him into a trance like state.
"Say it.. say it...Say it... pretty pretty pretty" He groaned.
"Please" I requested. He loved it. He wanted me. I felt his finger tips caressing my face.
"God you're so good" He replied with his hands cupping my face.
I gave him one last look before taking a backwards swan dive into the vat below. I felt myself flying. I surrendered myself to the invisible hand to remake me.
I hit the sky above. It burned right through me and infused me with power. I tried to get to the surface but my limbs wouldn't move. But I wasn't afraid. I saw his silhouette reaching for me.
He filled my lungs with precious life. I sputtered and took a breath like new born baby. The chemicals melted everything way. He was right... surrendering the facade gave me new power. I was finally free. I smile up at him
He kissed me a second time and swore I could hear Kehlani - Gangsta playing. He leaned back and let out a booming laugh. He was finally complete and so was I.
To love me better than all the others do... to ride or die with me...I'm fucked up... black and blue. I'm built for it... all the abuse I got secrets... that nobody.. nobody knows.
Red and blue swirled around us in a pool of light. It sealed us in a bond, eternal... forever.
Author's Note: After watching Suicide squad... I've decided to write another five chapters or so... from Mr. J's POV on all the events that occurred in the movie... I hope will you guys like it!
