" I have to stay calm with him or else I will be fired and I wont have anywhere else to go." I remind myself, repeatedly, as the man slowly waddles forward. His cane dragging on the marble floor of The Gotham City Bank. I grip my fingers into a tight fist, taking a deep breath and smiling as kindly and as politely as I can muster. His back is hunched and he has on a light brown trench coat his collar stood up, hiding his face. I bite my lip, this isn't the man I thought he was, I craned my neck trying to see his face. I watch as the man stops right in front of my box, he slowly raises his head.
" How can I hel-" I stop mid-sentence, my eyes widen slightly as I see the mans face, no this wasn't no ordinary man. It was The Joker. My mouth goes dry and my mind goes blank. " Hello, deary." His raspy voice making me sway slightly. " You seem quite surprised. Maybe you should just sit down." He suggests, a glint of amusement shining in his eyes. I bite my lip a little harder, bringing me back to reality. " Whatever your here for your not going to get it." I growl, glaring down the man in front of me. He smiles even wider. " Well, what exactly do you think your going to do to stop me," He stops before looking at my name tag. " Y/N." A shiver runs down my spine, from a mixture of anger and his voice.
He smirks and leans forward towards the glass box. I back up flinching, I run to the door, the farthest point from him. He sighs, in what seems like disappointment, and rips off his hat and coat, pulling out a gun. " Now listen up, your going to give me what I want or..." He points the gun at everyone, spinning around dramatically. " Well you get the idea." I quickly get out the box and hide behind the pillar. I watch as everyone gets ushered into the side of the building, I search the crowd counting ,making sure everyone was there, I head for the pillar across from the one I was currently hiding behind. I sigh in relief as I make it without being seen. I watch as The Joker searches the crowd of people, almost as if he was looking for someone...."DANG IT!!! I had to talk to him and tell him my name." I mentally scold myself and bite my lip. I turn my attention back to the Joker as he walks to my box and turns to face the crowd. " Does anyone know where Miss Y/N happens to be right now?"
Nobody answered, he takes another step towards them pointing the gun at them again. " She is one of the things I want so I suggest you answer my question." His voice sent more shivers down my spine. " W-we don't k-know." My head turns to see the man who had confessed to me. Jeremy. My breath hitched as The Joker pointed the gun right at him. I ran out and stood right in front him. " What the HELL makes you think you can have ME? Or even want me for matter of fact?" I practically spit at him.
His eyes turn slightly darker. " Deary, what makes you think you can talk to me with such a tone?" He walks forward until hes right in front of me. I bite my lip, instinctively. " Do you know how I got these scars? You see I had a wife-"
I knew the story by heart... I opened my mouth and the story slipped out without a second thought. " So I had a wife. She was beautiful, like you. Who tells me I worry too much. Who tells me I ought to smile more. Who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks. One day, they carve her face. And we have no money for surgeries. She can't take it. I just want to see her smile again. I just want her to know that I don't care about the scars. So... I stick a razor in my mouth and do this...," I take my finger and pretend to carve the same smile onto my own face." ...to myself. And you know what? She can't stand the sight of me! She leaves. Now I see the funny side. Now I'm always smiling!" He stares at me, surprised.
I stare at the ground biting my lip, mercilessly. " I am an idiot! He is probably pissed.." I am ripped back into reality as a hand gently grabs my chin, pulling it up so I had to look right into his eyes. " You just made my day, deary." He leaned forward and gently kissed my forehead, before leaving with a wave of is hand he left, leaving all the money and a very confused you. I fell to my knees and put my hand on my forehead where he kissed me. " W-what the h-hell?!"
