Jimin gasped for air when he was awoken by cold water being splashed to his face. He flinched as the cold water ran down his neck, into his shirt. He was met with the sight of surprise, staring bewildered at the man in front of him.
"Get up, Mr. Park, there's no time. The guard might be back any minute", Min Yoongi said, helping Jimin up. Jimin was speechless.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were--"
"At Arkham? Yeah, Hoseok and I were. But we're not regular guards", Yoongi said, checking if the area was clear before helping Jimin to walk outside where an unidentified car was waiting for them with the motor running.
"We're undercover agents planted in Arkham by the government to watch over the most dangerous criminals We were your contacts, Jimin, but we were also told to keep an eye on you after the Joker's escape. And we were right about you." It was Hoseok's voice from the driver seat which answered Jimin's many questions after they sat down in the car.
A man came running after the car, screaming and shooting at the fast leaving vehicle. He was already phoning someone about the prisoner's escape.
Presumably the Joker that his enemy, the Batman was free once more.

Taehyung on the other side had chosen to have a spa day for himself. Jungkook had left for a meeting, preparing the upcoming heists and attack on the prison where Minho was kept. Taehyung had been bored out of his mind and had excused himself, Jungkook telling him lowly to come check out the bathtub.
And who was Taehyung to deny that lovely offer.
Music was playing on his earphones, the silver-haired was humming along while filling up the tub with water with just the right temperature to dive into. Jungkook had promised to tag along soon, so when the door opened, Taehyung didn't suspect anything.
Until a hand was wrapped around his throat from behind.
Minjae had been out of his mind after Taehyung had shot him back in the hospital, he wasn't allowed to seek revenge for being fucking shot and the Joker had forbidden any punishment he usually granted his inner circle once they were injured by another.
This fucking boy had sneaked his way into the Joker's mind and taken a place there. Minjae had observed the silver-haired quietly, the stunning beauty for sure was an eye candy. Yugyeom had wanted a piece of him too and nearly got shot by their boss himself.
The Joker had never been possessive over his toys, not like this. But this pretty little thing had managed to lure his way inside Jeon Jungkook, the fucking King of this city and in Minjae's opinion, that was a huge problem. Sure, Taehyung was gorgeous but he weakened Jungkook.
He was a weakness that could kill them all. Minjae had joined the Joker for power and entertainment, finding himself soon in the inner circle without being killed and to be honest, he had liked the time where the Joker had been imprisoned. But things changed when he returned with that pretty boy and claimed him in front of everyone.
Minjae couldn't say he liked that. No, he hated these changes, he wanted to destroy them. He had approached Taehyung with evil intentions, angry that the smaller had pushed him back in the hospital and shot his leg. The Joker wasn't here. No one would hear the boy scream.
"You sly little fox, thinking you can just lure your way here and not face any consequences?", Minjae hissed into Taehyung's ear who was frozen in his spot, earphones ripped out of his ears before another arm was wrapped around him, the hand around his throat moving up to press over his mouth before he could scream.
Taehyung squirmed in the choke hold, screaming into his palm. Minjae laughed lowly.
"Don't even fucking try. No one will hear you scream. All are at the meeting. You're alone."
Taehyung gasped when he was thrown against the edge of the bathtub, the cold porcelain smacking against his legs. He then realized that it was one of the man of the inner circle, Minjae. And he had a knife, now accusingly pointing it at the terrified male who glanced at the door.
"You should've never come here, boy. You've fucking weakened the Joker! You weakened the most terrifying man of this city, hell the fucking world! And you fucking shot me, little slut, thinking to get away with it just because you're pretty."
Minjae laughed evilly and his eyes fell on the exposed skin of Taehyung's long, golden legs, his bathrobe had fallen open. In this moment, Taehyung made a run for the door and screamed for help again. There was a man and they made eye contact before the man turned and ran away. It was Seokjin and Taehyung felt tears of betrayal prick his eyes.
His perpetrator quickly caught up to him and smacked him across the face before grabbing him by the middle and carrying him back inside the room, slamming the door shut.
Taehyung was thrown onto the bed, scrambling upwards but he was immediately pressed back into the sheets. His hands were yanked behind his back and the knife was pressed to his throat.
"Before I kill you, you fucking bitch", he heard Minjae hiss, "I'm going to find out what's so special about your ass that made the Joker addicted. If your ass is good enough for the Joker, it's gonna be good enough for my cock."
Taehyung kicked his legs by that and screamed but his screams, yells and protests were ignored while Minjae fumbled with his belt.
"Once I fucked you, the Joker will discard you anyways. Mr. J doesn't like used goods."
°°°
Seokjin had wanted to find a friend in Taehyung. He seemed to be the only one normal enough to have a decent conversation and Seokjin wanted to get to know Taehyung. He seemed like a lovely boy. Maybe he could also understand Seokjin and why he felt so confused. Maybe he too was confused.
Seokjin had wished for a friend but was surprised when he approached the corridor and heard someone screaming for help. Heard Taehyung screaming for help.
Once he spotted him before Minjae dragged him back into the room, Seokjin did the only thing that was logical: he ran to get help. He wasn't an expert in fighting, pretty much useless and he knew someone that was far more capable.
With trembling legs, Seokjin ran into the meeting, not caring for interrupting so harshly and stopped breathlessly in front of the Joker who had already jumped to his feet, gun drawn in anger and a snarl on his face.
"T-Taehyung-- M-Minjae is assaulting him!", Seokjin gasped out, heart hammering in his chest. Namjoon also got to his feet, looking concerned. "Jinnie, are you sure...?", he started but Jungkook had already ran out of the room, yelling Taehyung's name.
Namjoon just threw one glance at the distressed Seokjin and believed him.
Jungkook, followed by Namjoon and Seokjin, ran to the room, where Minjae had just slipped Taehyung's shorts off of long, golden legs, slipping his hands beneath the bathrobe while holding a trashing and crying Taehyung down.
The Joker crashed the door open with a powerful kick, seething. Jungkook went absolutely mad by this, throwing a knife at Minjae which slammed into his shoulder, throwing him to the ground and away from Taehyung.
Minjae went white once he saw the absolute madness in Jungkook's eyes who approached him and Minjae tried to scramble to his feet to save himself. Seokjin rushed over to a crying and hiccuping Taehyung, helping the quivering male to cover himself.
"M-Mr. J-J, please this is all a misunderstanding!!"
"What, your cock's out with my fucking lover crying beneath you and nail marks all over your fucking skin?!" the Joker snarled before yelling out curses after curses once he heard Taehyung's little sobs, throwing a glance back at his trembling lover who looked at him with huge, glossy eyes.
He looked broken and Jungkook never wanted to see this expression on his lover's face.
The Joker went bonkers, grabbing Minjae's collar and punching him into the face. Again. And again until the man was a bloodied mess. Until Jungkook's hand tattoos were covered in blood. But he was still not satisfied.
The maniac saw red, deep in his blood thirst and his burning desire to make the one who hurt his darling pay. He punched Minjae again, punches and hits dripping from power that was not held back. Taehyung cried with every punch, burying himself deeper into Seokjin's protective embrace.
Then, the Joker bursted into breathless laughter, high-pitched and mad.
"Really, Minjae, I expected you to be dumb, but not this dumb. You must've known that I wasn't going to allow anyone to walk over my orders and touch what's mine. No, you filthy little rat, I will fucking destroy every single piece of you for hurting Taehyung."
Jungkook turned, mad eyes seeking for vengeance. They focused on Taehyung, zeroed in on him, of course they did, his eyes would always find their way back to Taehyung. And they merely softened, seeing his distressed lover. His precious Taehyung who was nearly assaulted. Who he couldn't protect.
"Turn away, Love, I don't want you to see this piece of trash ever again."
But Taehyung surprised him again, shaking his head softly. His eyes flickered to the bloody mess in front of Jungkook and a glint of anger mixed into the tears. A hint of madness.
"No. Let me see how you'll make him regret touching what's yours, Daddy."
A demonic smirk spread on Jungkook's lips when he twisted his head to glance down at Minjae who was now sobbing and begging for forgiveness through the blood clogging his throat. Too bad he appalled to the Joker's humanity, and too bad there was none left.
"Oh, trust me, Darling, I will."
