The Joker and Batmans daughter

Chapter 8

"Shay move!" Frank yelled pulling me out of the way of a panicked driver fleeing from the chaos of the parade

"Come with me" he said gruffly leading me into a deserted building

We went to the rooftop and Frank paused before going out the door.

"You must stay here Shay and if anyone comes try to stay out of sight" he said seriously

"Promise me" he demanded

"I promise" I said quickly before watching him vanish through the door

Jokers POV

The mayor of Gotham was strapped to a chair in front of me.

"So Mister Mayor do you know who I am" I asked staring intently into his eyes

The man looked terrified as a piece of leather

I sighed

"Come on no answer? Why so serious, is it the leather?" I asked pretending to be sympathetic

"Or...is it this" I said holding up an iPad with a video of his home burning to the ground

The Mayors face formed into a look of terror and fear as his eyes set upon the scenes unfolding on the iPad

"Of course all of this can stop if you do one teeny tiny favour for me" I said taking the leather from the mayors mouth allowing him to speak freely

"I don't do favours for criminals" The mayor said through gritted teeth

I felt the anger rise inside me

"Look Mister Mayor I'm sure your a good guy so I'm going to be nice. You've got three options. Option number one, you can refuse me and I can allow El Diablo to give your family members an early cremation. Option two, I can kill you and pray for a more obliging replacement, however that didn't go so well with the last one hence your presence. Or option number three, you can do me this minuscule favour and I may let you live. It's up to you" I said standing in front of him

"Batman will stop you" the mayor retorted

I laughed loudly

"Batman may protect you but at the end of the day he's just like the rest of us 'villains'. Admit it, your just as scared of Batman as you are of me" I spat

I turned around pulling a gun out

"You know it's a real pity you walked all over my generosity" I said holding the gun to middle of his forehead

"I thought we were getting on like a house on fire" I whispered in his ear

I could see the fear in the mans eyes as I pulled the trigger and he slumped to the ground

"Get the rest of my men up here" I said to Frank

Shays POV

I had been sitting by the door to the roof for at least 20 minutes now and despite hearing
yelling and gun shots I had made myself stay on this side of the door.

I pressed my ear to the door trying to hear focusing on anything they might be saying

Suddenly I heard footsteps behind me. I froze.

"Well, well what do we have here?" Said a rough looking man looking down at me

"Nothing I was just-"

"Listening to things you shouldn't be" the man finished

"Well lil lady you picked the wrong day to die" he said forcefully dragging me out the door to the roof

"Please you don't understand" I said trying to struggle from his grasp

"Tell it to him" he said shortly whilst pointing a gun at my head

The man dragged me in front of Jay and pushed me to the ground

A look of surprise shined in Jays eyes for a moment as he looked down at me. He grinned before quickly raising a gun to the man

"Joker! What the hell?" He asked

"Is that anyway to treat a lady Carlos?" Jay asked

A confused look came across Carlos' face. His gaze shifted from the Joker to me several times before realisation hit him.

"Jay I didn't know" he said raising his hands In surrender

"Didn't she say anything?" Jay asked not lowering his gun

Carlos sighed

"She tried to but wasn't listening" he admitted

Jay grinned before shooting Carlos straight in the temple

His body fell inches away from me his eyes were still open peacefully. Clearly they didn't foresee the jokers trap

"A lesson for you all" Jay said pulling me off the ground

"Come with me" he whispered in my ear

And I followed him out the door
