Hiding

[The Joker]

Joker grabbed the back of Harley's neck hard and twisted her head to look at him. "A big happy family? Do I look like a family man to you?" he asked dangerously. "I think you will need to come up with a better reason than that Harls" his murmured as he rubbed his check against hers, his scars rough against his smooth skin.

He looked down at Jocelyn and laughed viciously "tell me why I should have the brat come and ruin the quiet of my home?"

He was playing with them both now, he was always going to let the girl come home with them. If he had not already made up his mind, he would still be playing this game, it is just the ending that would have been very different.

Jocelyn sat there, paralyzed in fear as she watched the two of the decide her fate. She hoped that it was good for her in the end. She really didn't want to go with them, but with the man holding that mean looking knife she was having doubts. Her eyes darted between the two of them as she continued to listen to them discuss her demise.

She wanted to take the opportunity to run again, but she knew he would only just catch her once more before she made it half way to the door. She was finding herself rooting for the woman, who seemed to be doing her best to keep her alive. She only turned her head in an attempt to hide the tears that started anew at the drawn out moment of her death. She only hoped that he would kill her quickly.

[Harleen Quinzel]

Harley flinched and shrank into a small emotional ball when she took hold of her and roughly turned her to look at him. "Ha puddin you sure got a way with your hands you know..." she laughed nervously as she attempted a joke to cover her fear. It took her a moment to conger up anything decent in reply, what with him rubbing his gorgeous face on hers thoughts were a bit hard to some by.

"Your a busy man and I get lonely at home all by my lonesome, maybe she could keep me company?" Harls grinned her cute little grin at him and curled her finger around his perfectly matched tie. "Come on baby cakes whatch say?" She pouted up at Joker as she pulled him closer to her, hoping that laying on the thick layer of her best clowny seduction would sway his... decision. "I'll owe you big time... puddin." She does her handy work while glancing over at the kid to make sure she was still there. If she ran Joker would have her torn to shreds in a second and there would be nothing Harls could do for her.

[The Joker]

The Joker snickered down at Harley and then at Jocelyn, an evil grin on his scared face. "What about you girl, you want to keep Harls here company while I'm out working?"

He let go of Harley, pushing her away hard, ignoring her attempts at seduction, though he would remind her of them later. He moved quickly to the girl, jumping around to the back of her and pulling her up of the ground roughly. He knelt down to her height and spun her round so they were face to face. "Well girl, what's wrong, cat got your tongue?" he asked. "Come on, come on, come on" he chanted at her while shaking her by the shoulders. "You wanna live with us, or you wanna die, I rarely give choices like this, so don't blow it!"

This gave him and idea and he laughed like a man who just came up with the best idea of his life. He pulled back one part of his purple jacket and removed a grenade from an inside pocket. He licked his lips and smiled, holding the weapon close to the girls face. "Now if you don't answer correctly, you really will blow!" he told her excitedly, smiling like he was telling her something magnificent.

Jocelyn sat on the ground, fearful of the clown. She was not very calm at the moment and when the man addressed her, she couldn’t say a word. She would gladly go with them if it kept her alive, but she was too paralyzed with fear to answer. However it seemed that her silence only angered him.

She watched with wide, fearful eyes as the man roughly pushed the woman away, and came straight toward her with fast movements. She closed her eyes before he approached her, and thus she didn’t see him move to her back. She felt him give her the same treatment as the woman when he pulled her to her feet. She opened her eyes as she felt him spin her around to face him, as she remembered the last time she faced him with closed eyes. Her body racked with sobs that she held in and he shook her shoulders as he teased to answer him.

Her eyes got wider than ever before with fear, as she saw him reach inside of his jacket and remove a grenade. She did her best not to notice that he licked his chops as he held the weapon next to her face. She listened intently as he told her to answer right or get blown into a million little pieces with a smile like a child in a candy store.

She was rather attached to living, and knew the right thing to say. She swallowed hard in an attempt to calm herself, and answered with barely a whisper. ”Yes. I wanna come live with you.”

[Harleen Quinzel]

Harley squealed as she was thrown to the ground, and roughly hits random debris scattered about. "Ya jerk!" At times Harley had to wonder who she kept putting up with him, he was at times the hardest person to live with. Always blowing stuff up, you knew when he might just strap ya to one of his rocket ships and send you right off into space.

She watches Joker from her spot on the floor contemplating whether or not to kick him where the sun don't shine for tossing her around like a rag doll. But then every time she would look at his adorable face the urge would just happily float away on some pink fluffy cloud. Harls could never hate him for long, and he was being so sweet letting her take the kid home. No matter what he said it WAS like having a happy little family of her own. So she jumped up and grinned her happy clowny smile and walks closer to him and the girl. "I'll keep her out of trouble, and you wont even know shes there. Big happy fam like I said Mister J.." Laughing she was totally ready to run for it if he should decide to give her a big ole knuckle sandwich for mentioning the family thing again.

[The Joker]

Joker pushed the bomb back inside his jacket and grinned at the girl. "No funny business you mind, you try and get away and I will cut you into tinie Winnie little bits and feed you to my dogs." he warned her, grabbing her head with both hands and pulling it close to his face.

He then let her go and growled at Harley, "God almighty woman, did I not just make it clear what I thought about being a family man?" he hissed at her dangerously, moving to her and looking her deep in the eyes. She would know how close she was to being put on her ass just from the look.

"Get out of my site, the both of you" he said loudly, moving from them "I've got work to do" And he had, he was working on something big, something that would finally prove that people were monsters, just like he had told The Batman months ago. "What to do, what to do" he chanted to himself, completely oblivious not to whether the girl and Harley were still there.
