The Killing Joke

"You want me to kill Gotham's hero, the dark knight?" I question squinting my eyes at the Joker. "Yes, simple enough." He says shrugging his shoulders. "I protect, not kill." I say tilting my head at him. "Yes well, for you to protect your gonna have to kill Bats." He says laughing a little. "Your crazy!" I spit out. "No, I'm not." He says sternly. I shake my head. "I'm not doing this job." I say turning away from him. Before I could jump back to the window I came from I heard him laugh, and I knew this wasn't going to be an easy run off. "Your afraid!" The Joker says. "Did the bat scare you?" He says in a baby voice. I turn around and pull my sword out, the same way it was only moments before. "Don't mock me." I say in a low growl. "If you don't do this job, then I'll kill you." Joker says without hesitation. I put my sword down. "Your not the first to say that." I say plainly. "I will found out who you are, and make your life a living hell." He says starting to grow mad. "It already is." I say smiling to myself. "I'm not doing this job." I say again. "Fine. But your job will get harder because of Batman. So, here my card." The joker pulls a small cars out of his coat pocket and gives me a joker card you find in a deck of cards. "Call me when you change your mind." He says smiling and walking into the darkness. I look at the card and there's a joker from a deck of cards, with a red marker painting a crooked smile on its face.


I made my way out the window and on the roof of the warehouse. Wondering if I should find Batman again. Before I could think of what to do, Batman had landed on top of me pining me down to the ground. "Okay that's not fair." I say trying to push Batman off me. "Where's the Joker." He asks with his deep voice. "I don't know." I say trying again to get him off me. Of course, Batman being himself, didn't give up. "Where is he??!" "I don't know!!" I fight back. He lifts his head and looks around, with me only seeing a little bit of the whites of his eyes. Seeing my vantage point, I kick him in the chest and pin him to the ground. With my tiny frame on his big, muscular chest armour. "I win." I say smiling behind my mask. I lean in close to his face as he tried to get me off, but I held onto his wrist really tight. "Your cute when your mad." I say looking into his eyes. I can feel his breath on my mask, and I see his eyes. For some reason Bruce's face clouded my head and Batman kicked me off his chest. Sending me to fall on my back. Scrambling to my feet I see Batman flee off into the night, as I slam my foot down on the metal roof.


"I need a break." Alice says slamming her pen down next to me. "So let's get coffee." Before I could answer her she was dragging me out of the office and to the coffee shop I love to go. We ordered our coffee and sat down at my table by the window. "So did you hear about Batman?" Alice asks. I lift my head up, "no what happened." I say looking at her. "He was seen last night with a masked women." She says smiling like a gossip girl. I feel my chest tighten. "Oh really?" I ask, "yeah, she apparently pinned him down and was on top of him. No one knows who she is or if she's on his side. Honestly I hope she is, she's just as mysterious and badass as he is." She says looking outside than back at me. I laugh a little. "You never know with these things." I say smiling at my own amusement. Suddenly, Alice and I's head are turned outside when we hear a really loud noise. Then an expensive car comes into view, and stops in front of the coffee shop. Then not to my surprise but to Alice, Bruce Wayne gets out of the car. I roll my eyes as Alice gasps. "Oh god." I grumble. "That's Bruce Wayne!" Alice half yells, half whispers. "Yeah I know." I say not looking out the window, in fear he'll come into the coffee shop. "And he's coming towards the shop." Alice says to turn pink. I roll my eyes once more. I heard the door open and the bell ring when it's opened, and my eyes lock with Bruce Wayne. He smiles as my cheeks grow hit an makes his way towards me and Alice.


"Hello Ladies." He says. Today he's wearing his classic suit and tie. "Hello Mr Wayne." Alice says flipping her hair, obviously trying to flirt with him. "Hello, and you are--" "Alice! Alice Lee." She says with no hesitation. Bruce smiles and nods his head and then turns to me. "Miss James." He says putting his hands behind his back. "Mr.Wayne." I say smiling at him. "Are you stalking me Mr.Wayne?" I ask sipping my coffee. "It's actually Bruce--"
"Oh right," I pause and look back at him. "Are you stalking me, Bruce?" I ask again smirking. Bruce give a chuckle and looks at his feet. "No, I just knew you were going to be here." He said looking back up at me. "Well, Bruce, if that doesn't scream stalker, then I don't know what will." I say titling my head at him. He laughs and I smile. Alice looks between me and Bruce and grabs her coffee mug. "I'm just gonna, get more coffee." She said slipping out of her seat and left me and Bruce alone. Bruce watched her leave and then sat in her seat. "I have a proposal." He says quickly. "Oh really?" I ask smirking again. "Yes. I was wondering if at 7 tonight, you'd like to get some dinner. With me." He asks looking at the table than at me. "Are you asking me out, Mr Wayne?" I ask. "Maybe, I am Miss James." He says returning my last name. I smile and my mouth opens and says "Yes." And I told him where I lived. "Until tonight, Chrissy James." He say nodding his head as my heart skips a beat. I watch as Bruce walks out of the coffee shop and get into his fancy car and drive down the road. Alive now back in her seat, leans closer to me as I am still looking out the window. "Whoa, he's way hotter in person." She says grinning. I turn to her a smirk. "I know."
