Joker

"Jack, come on." Her giggle ringed through my ears, as she laced her fingers through mine. "You're gonna miss it!"

I held onto her hand as she pulled me out into our backyard, "I'm right next to you, Vanessa." I laughed at her child like excitement and how cute she was.

"Look!" She pointed up to the sky at the fireworks which varied from reds and blues and greens. "Isn't it beautiful?" Her voice asked in awe.

"Aren't you scared of fireworks?" I raised an eyebrow at her. She always told me how much fireworks scared her yet here she was, watching them in amazement.

"I am," Her body turned and she looked at me. "But they're beautiful to look at, don't you think?" Her eyes made their way back to the colorful filled sky and it felt as if I couldn't take my eyes off of her.

She looked absolutely beautiful as her gaze was fixed upon the sky. When she noticed this, her cheeks grew a tint of pink and she swatted my arm.

"You're missing it!"

...

"Boss?" The flashback was interrupted when I turned to angrily look at a man standing beside me. He had on one of he clown masks I supplied them with.

"What?" I snapped, angry that he disturbed my peace and pleasant thoughts. Ever since earlier, I couldn't help but feel a bit angry.

She had lied to me and she was with that damned playboy, Bruce Wayne. If only she had an idea how much it genuinely hurt when I heard his voice. Maybe then she wouldn't be so afraid.

"You're on the news."

"Oh joy!" I jumped with glee and I headed towards where the TV was. I could already hear the news reporter talking about me.

When I saw Vanessa's picture on the news, I turned up the volume and listened to the story. Apparently, she had needed stitched for the cut.

I shrugged, I didn't know I cut that deep. But at least I didn't kill her, they should be thankful for that.

"Famous supermodel, Vanessa Adams was terrorized by the Joker," I wouldn't exactly call it terrorizing. "Bruce Wayne and Vanessa were spotted at the Gotham Hospital, her face was badly injured."

I quickly shut it off when I heard his name, what was the point of torturing myself and looking at a picture of them together?

I knew she was only with him because she missed me, well the old me. Might as well have some fun before I won her back.

"Boys," they groaned knowing what was coming, but they stopped when I took out a gun. "Who's ready for some more fun?"
