Dress in tank top and yoga pants, Mary laid wide eyed and silent. His cold blue eyes were doing the same. Her eyes began to study the ink on his head and neck.  His low smooth voice caught her off guard, " Don't try to understand them, you never will."

" I wasn't. I was just reading them. Isn't that what they are there for?" Mary waited for a response but none came. She turned away from him in the hopes of going to sleep and when she wake the nightmare would be over. Still sleep did not come. Mary then felt something lightly brush her right shoulder blade.

" How did you get this big scar on your back?" Joker softly traced the scar from her shoulder blade towards the middle of her back. 

Mary felt goosebumps and shivered. She was trying to control her breathing despite her heart felt like it was about to burst from her chest. She calmly replied, "I fell.."

His reply was quick, "On what?"

Mary turned back to face his beautiful blue eyes, "It's nothing.. It was just an accident." He didn't reply. Mary turned away, "Goodnight."

Joker laid in silence and continued to study the scar, but kept his thoughts to himself. " Typical battered wife response. I fell? It was an accident.. Blah blah.. She probably was smacked around quite a bit with that smart mouth. It wouldn't take much to knock her around; she's tiny and young. I must say though, her body is pretty hot.. She's blessed in all the right places, has a nice sweet face...  But we don't do sweet, do we Jack? Those days are gone, remember? Our world would tear her to shreds. " Joker felt Mary shiver and her body shifted closer to his seeking out more heat. Obvious she was asleep and didn't realize her body was betraying her. Joker shifted closer to her, pressing his chest to her cool back. He deeply inhailed the scent of her hair. It smelt of warm vanilla. He lightly crossed his arm over her waist securing her in place. She didn't wake. Mary's skin was so soft. Joker wanted to nuzzle her neck and bury his nose into her sweet smelling hair, but he promised her, he wouldn't take advantage of her. Though it was very tempting to do so. He then wondered if she had a current boyfriend. Is that why she was so insistant not to share a bed? He then felt a slight ping of jealousy, " So what if she's taken, if he tried hard enough she would be eating out of the palm of his hand.. Right..? Lost in his thoughts, Joker finally drifted off into aight sleep.
