The Jokes On You

How long had it been? Three days? Four? During that time Tabatha had made herself scarce around the 'lair' so to speak and often would make point to take a walk before Joker returned from his antics.

Now as the sun set she sat by the fireplace, her coat wrapped tightly around herself as she watched the flames flickering in the hearth.

The only place she felt safe was anywhere in close proximity to her asthmatic friend Sleek. He didn't seem to mind her sudden shift in behavior which worked out well for her.

Now he lay over his favorite spot just staring at the ceiling, she wondered if he was truly asleep with his eyes open.

The door opened and a few of Joker's goons walked in. They where all quiet except for two who where talking about Joker's new.... pet?

"Some blonde chick, she's annoying." One said.

"Yeah. I hate her voice. But she is pretty. And into the kind of sick shit he's into."

Tabi looked over slowly, watching them for a second before looking back to the fireplace.

"Man it's weird how a sick freak like him could get so many women and I can't even get a girl on a first date."

The other goon laughed. "It's cause he doesn't date. He forces them to be his slave there's a difference."

She moved up slowly, looking annoyed as she wandered over to them. "What are we up to?" She said in a venomous tone as she stepped halfway into the shadows.

"Talking about Joker's new.... uh.... gal."

"What new ...gal?" She asked in a more venomous tone and stepped closer to them. She just wanted to cut their throats and rip their organs out...she didn't know why...but she did. Luckily for them her knife was still lodged in Batman's shoulder.

"The boss has a new gal. He took her upstairs as soon as we got here."

The room seemed to become more dark as her expression twisted into one of pure hate. Sleek then suddenly sat up and looked around uncomfortably.

"Really?" She said in a disturbingly calm tone. The two slowly began to back away from her. She gave them a brief smile as she turned and stalked up the stairs.

Reaching the top she wandered down and hallway and opened the door to Joker's room, leaning against the door frame.

"Well well..."

Joker lay on the bed on top of a skinny blonde girl who clearly didn't mind the new company as Joker fucked her into the mattress.

She stood for a moment then looked away, the sight made her angry. Looking down to the floor she noticed Joker's coat, she pulled it over with her foot and knelt down, pulling one of his knives from the various pockets.

"So this is what you like." She said as she entered into the room, twirling the knife around her fingers. "Short, blonde, loudmouthed, tramps." She added with a deadly tone as she reached the edge of the bed.

"Hey who you calling a loud mouthed tramp you loud mouthed tramp?" The girl said in an annoyingly high pitched voice. Joker put his hand over her mouth to stop her from talking as he came inside of her with a loud groan.

She stayed silent, biting her bottom lip so hard that it bled into her mouth. The metallic taste was slightly comforting as she watched him sit up. She felt stupid for even wasting her time with him, in the end he was like everyone else, chasing after the first tramp that came along.

She narrowed her eyes then as she threw her arm out, slashing him deeply across the chest, over his fresh scratch marks. as he recoil she kicked him roughly across the bed, smirking as he hit the floor on the other side.

"Two timing freak!" She yelled and inadvertently threw the knife towards the blonde woman, it lodged itself inside the head board just above the girls head, pinning a lock of her hair to it.

"You just wait." She hissed at her. Once some other tramp comes around he'll throw you to the dogs to." She said in a cold tone, leaning down to the woman. "So don't get to attached sweet heart... on second thought...go ahead...I'll love watching you suffer." She added as she caressed her cheek then took a sprint towards the door.

She didn't make it far as Joker jumped over the bed and tackled her to the ground. He pinned her fully to the floor. Even through his makeup she could see the red in his face as he seethed with anger.

"You're pushing you're limits Tabatha!" He said. "What makes you think you have any fucking right to come in here and bitch. What makes you even THINK that I have ever once cared for you?" He asked. "You are my pet. My experiment. You belong to me and you do as I say!" He said, his cock hardened against her as he yelled.

She gave him an equally angered look back as she struggled under his grip. "I DON'T BELONG TO YOU!" She yelled as she bucked up against him. Most likely everyone down stairs was hearing the commotion. "Get the fuck off me you sick mother fucker! I'm going home!" She snapped, bucking him again.

"The only way, you are going home..... is in a body bag." He laughed. "You knew what I was like Tabatha.... you've done the research.... you could have left the first few days but did you.... no you stayed with your sick little fascination. You like me despite how I treat you." He rubbed his cock against her and spread her legs. He entered her roughly. She was dry and it must have hurt but he didn't care. He thrust into her hard and fast. "You wanted to meet me. And now you have." He said calmly. "And you'll never leave. Not alive anyway."

"Ah!" She screamed as her back curved inward, pressing herself up against him as she felt him inside her suddenly. "N-no! Get off!!" She screamed as her body tensed from his hard thrusts.

He put his hand on her stomach and pushed her flat against the floor. He looked down the see blood coating his cock from the rough entrance. "You're so fucking tight when you're dry you know that." He laughed. "I love thinking about how much pain you're in. Hurt me Tabatha." He said letting go of her hands. "I know you want to."

She closed her eyes tightly, her loins screaming in pain and pleasure. Almost like loosing her virginity all over again. "Why would I give you the pleasure!?" She snapped and tried to shove him off of her instead of scratching him.

He laughed at her feeble attempts to push him off. "Cause I know you want too." He laughed. He thrust into her hard and fast his breathing becoming more labored.

"God... get off of me!!" She screamed again as she slapped him hard.

Joker laughed harder. "Do it again!" He said thrusting into her. He grabbed her breast hard, painfully and twisted slightly.

She grabbed on of his wrists trying to pry his hand from her breast. She kicked him with her leg slightly but a sharp tearing pain from her pussy caused her to fall still, biting her lip again.
'Sleek...help me ...please...'

She hadn't even realized that she had spoken the words out loud until Joker laughed.

"Sleek huh?" He laughed. "That little sleeze ball." He leaned forward and whispered in her ear. "Maybe I'll just have to off him next."

She cringed and turned her head away from him. She didn't want to loose her only friend. But if she displayed protectiveness of him then he surely would be killed.

He pushed into her harder and looked over to see the blonde girl playing with herself. "You like this Harl?"

She whimpered in pain and began to struggle with him again. "Get Off!" She yelled as she bucked him.

"Oh I love it when you squirm." He smiled before groaning. "I'm going to cum."

Her heart skipped a beat when she heard those words. "D-don't! Take it out!" She begged as she squirmed around under him.

"Oh fuck.... I'm going to cum in that nice tight pussy." He said thrusting hard pausing deep inside her with every thrust.

"Don't...please don't..." She trembled, staring up at him. "Take it out...."

"I told you I'd get you to beg." He laughed as he sped up his thrusts a moment before he cam deep inside of her.

"...no..." She said weakly as she felt him cum inside her. She stayed still , staring off to the side. She had to get herself to a hospital now but she would have to do it discreetly.

Joker laughed and pulled out of her before dragging her up by the arm. He pulled her out of the room, both of them still stark naked. They passed two of his goons but Joker didn't seem to care as he threw her into the other bedroom.

"I'm going to be having a little uh.... talk with my good friend Sleek." He laughed. "Is there anything you wish to tell him?" He asked. "Maybe a few last I love you's?" He locked the door and moved back towards his own room laughing the whole while.

The two goons stared at him as if he had finally gone stark raving mad.

She sat trembling on the floor, blood running down the inside of her thighs. "Fuck!" She cried in frustration and hit the floor. She began to cry softly as she rested her forehead on the floor.

1001001001001001001

It had been nearly two months since she had seen hide nor hair of the Joker. She had been locked in the same room, her meals brought to her by one of his goons.

She moved into the bathroom for the fifth time of the morning, falling to her knees in front of the toilet. she vomited up what little she had eaten of her breakfast and some bodily fluids. Coughing she whipped her mouth and flushed the toilet. "It's just stress....it's just stress..." She mumbled over and over to herself as she crawled back into bed,not having the energy to try and break free today.

But she knew the truth. It wasn't stress. She hadn't had her period since before her attack. For that's exactly what it was. Joker had attacked her and raped her.

And now she sat in a prison that grew black at night. Just like Nathan. She missed her mother, brother, and sister badly now. But she feared she would never see them again.

She found herself crying again...all she did was cry now. It never made life better...just made her eyes red and puffy. She whipped her tears away as she laid in silence, lying on her stomach with her head turned towards the wall, she didn't like watching the door. Who knows who would walk through it.

As she continued counting the spots on the wall she pulled the blanket higher over her back.

She hadn't seen Sleek in the whole time she had been gone. He would have checked up on her wouldn't he? If he was still alive.

Of course he's not still alive. Joker killed him. Just like he destroyed her life.

Or maybe he didn't care to find where she had disappeared to, that thought hurt the most. "What are you thinking..." She mumbled. Sleek was part of Joker's gang. Joker controlled him. She shook her head slowly, bending her legs slowly to move into a curled position. "You should stay away from the lot of them..." 'Why?' She blinked and sighed. "They will only break your heart?" 'What heart? There's no more heart to break.' "What am I talking to myself...ok stop..." She shook the voice from her head and sighed again.

She was going crazy. She had to get out of here. But how....

She made a frustrated sound as she jumped up form the bed and ran into the bathroom again. She did vomit up much of anything this time since...there really wasn't anything to throw up. She held her hair back as she gagged into the toilet, her body trembling with weakness. "I...hate...this..."

She heard the door crack open a bit. "So hows my little...." He paused and glanced into the bathroom. "Sick.... girl...." He said almost confused.

She twitched when she heard his voice and looked over her shoulder with a cold glare, staying on her knees with her back hunched like a wild animal in a cage. "Just the flu." She grumbled and kept her eyes on him.

Joker looked at her skeptically.

She looked back and gagged into the toilet again. Luckily her small spell of crying had caused her face to flush, which gave the appearance that she had a fever.

Joker leaned up against the wall not even bothering to make a move to help her.

she began to grow nervous with his presence. "What...do...you...want?" She said slowly looking back over her shoulder.

"You wanna stay in here forever then please..... continue with the smart ass remarks."

She stood up slowly, after the nausea had settled and inched her way past him. She didn't speak to him as she moved over to the table and sat herself down in the chair, resting her forehead on the table top. "Why the sudden change of heart?"

Joker scoffed. "You'll be watched over by Schiff and Cur." He said. "This room is being cleaned in the time being. It reeks"

"Who the hell are they?" She replied and looked up from the table top.

"Hired help." He said.

"Great." She said in an unenthusiastic tone as stood up slowly. She was tempted to ask him about his chest but she figured she better keep her mouth shut. "What did you-" She paused knowing he wouldn't give her an answer she wanted to hear. She wanted to know how Sleek was but..... she already knew.

She stood a good distance away from him, she didn't want him touching her what so ever. Folding her arms she stayed to her thoughts. 'Stop thinking about him...even if he was still alive he'd break your heart eventually.' There was a pause in her thoughts. 'I told you before...there's no heart left to break.' The voice was back, that dark sadistic voice dripping with venom. She shook it from her mind again as she waited for Joker to do something.

Joker moved away from the door and moved towards the staircase. Not waiting to see if she was following he moved down the stairs.

She moved out slowly, it was late after noon, he didn't even know. 'Great...going to get dark again...' She sighed. 'Pussy.' She took the voice again as she reached the top of the stairs and looked down over the goons.

One of them had black slicked back hair and was facing away from her, she couldn't tell who it was. The other was facing her and was tubby and had short brown hair.

'Not so great but at least it's not the ....tramp...' She thought as she moved down the stairs slowly, heights was another fear though not as critical as the dark. She gripped the railing tightly as she moved down the stair breathing a sigh of relief when she reached the bottom.

"Schiff, Cur. You guys keep an eye on her. I don't want her leaving and make sure she doesn't do anything stupid." He said walking away.

She sneered at him as he turned away. Why did he care if she left or not? Did he know? She made a small growl in her throat as she sat on the bottom stair.

The taller man stood not looking at her going over some papers in his hand. The other tubby one wasn't so generous. He came and sat down next to her a little too close. "Well I can see what the boss sees in you."

"Ah haa. Just stay on your side of the stair and I wont kick your ass." She warned as she slid away from him to the farthest end of the stair.

"Cur leave her alone." The taller man said. He turned around and looked at Tabi. She looked at him... 'Is.... it..... he.......... it can't be....'

"Sleek?" She asked. The man looked around nervously. He shook slightly and smiled.

"Hi Tabi..." He said a little to quickly.

"Sleek what..... what happened to you?" It had only been two months since she had seen him but he looked..... sick almost. He had lost a lot of weight and he had slight begs under his eyes. His hair had grown out a few inches and was now kept slicked back.

"Sleek? Sleek? No.... I'm..... I'm Thomas Schiff....." He said fiddling with the papers in his hand and looking around nervously.

She fell silent at his reply. Maybe it was just someone who looked a lot like him. "Oh...sorry..." She mumbled as she rested her arms on her knees, staring at the floor.

"Sleek he.... he's here." He said.

"What are you talking about?" She said after a long outdrawn sigh.

"Sleek's here.... never left."

She rested her hand on her cheek and blinked at him a few times. "Have you lost your mind or something?"

Schiff shook his head. "No not lost..... Sleek's here.... Right here." He said pointing at his temple. "Talking...... he says hi."

She moved up slowly and walked towards him, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. "He told me you were dead."

Schiff jumped back away from her.

She moved back startled then turned away and moved to the couch, flopping down on it another sigh.

Schiff moved closer to her but didn't sit down. He looked around as if he expected something or someone to jump out at him at any time.

"Calm down you big baby. It's just a couch." She moved onto her back, one hand on her stomach, another hanging over the edge, and her legs bent and slightly spread.

"I know..." He said biting his lower lip as if trying not to laugh. Almost like a child that knew something but didn't want to tell.

She blinked again then looked to the ceiling. "Then what are you looking at?"

"Joker told us.... he told us all." He said trying not to laugh again.

She grew a bit dizzy after he spoke, she shook her head but the feeling stayed. "Told you....what exactly?" She said in a cold voice. That wasn't her voice, yet it was.

Schiff shrank back from the tone in her voice.

Her stomach gave a turn thus making her jump up form the couch. by the time the men blinked she was already in the nearest bathroom, gagging into the toilet again.

Schiff moved after her standing outside the door way watching her to make sure she didn't escape somehow. Joker would be mad then.


After a few minutes she drug herself back to the couch. She didn't even make it onto it, instead she fell on her knees at the edge and rested her arms on the cushions and her head on them.

Schiff came up behind her debating whether to help her or not but not knowing what to do.

She lifted her head up slowly, staring back at him. "See something you like?" She asked as she crawled onto the couch again. "Cause I do."

"Huh?" He asked slightly shocked.

She smiled and crossed her legs Indian style. "Said you're cute." She replied.

"No I'm not." He said. "I'm ugly..... always been ugly...."

"Oh yeah? Joker tell you that? Cause he's wrong, a usual." She replied and pulled him to sit on the couch next to her.

Schiff landed on the couch but moved slightly away from her. "No.... not him..... he wouldn't..... he wouldn't give me the time of day to even...... to even say that."

"Only bothers with his tramp." She mumbled disdainfully then cuddled up to him. "It's cold...." She said shivering. "You don't mind do you?"

Schiff stiffened at her touch not knowing what to do. "Um..... no...." He said trying his best not to touch her.

"Relax." She said in a softly tone and patted his thigh gently. "I'm not going to bite you...unless you want me to..."

He shook slightly before relaxing, though she could still tell he was nervous.

She watched him for a moment before sliding her hand up his thigh. "I've always liked you you know."

"You.... you like Sleek.... No one likes me!"

"I like Sleek a lot. He's the only one who wanted to be friends with me...everyone else just hates me." Her hand slid higher, then moved it between his legs. "What dose Sleek think of Tabi?"

"Sleek likes you." He said. "Sleek says I should relax.... and that I should like you too."

"He's right." She smiled slightly as she rubbed her hand over his crotch.

"What..... what are you doing?" He asked nervously.

"Helping you relax." She replied, moving up and licking his ear lobe. "Been two months since I've had a man you know...just can't control myself."

Schiff stiffened slightly as her tongue ran along his earlobe, her words sending shivers down his spine.

She licked farther up the lobe for a second then pulled away, looking around to make sure no one was around. "What dose Sleek want Tabi to do?"

Schiff looked nervous and looked like he was going to start hyperventilating as he thought of something to say. "I.... I can't say that...." He said to someone. "I can't tell her that!"

She tilted her head then looked a bit sad. 'He has two personality's now...' She thought. "Well..." She moved onto his lap and put on her smile. "You can always let Sleek tell me himself...so little Schiff dosen't have to."

He shook his head vigorously. "Sleek doesn't come out to play anymore. He doesn't like to...." He said. "I'm his..... I'm his shield.... I keep him safe!"

"Shh." She put her finger to his lips as she sat upon his lap. "There's no one here that's going to hurt him."

"He.... he wants you to touch him... me.... him......" He sounded confused.

"In what way?" She whispered into his ear as she continued to glance around.

"He says..... he says you should know.... he says any way you want to." His breathing was rigid and uneven and he still looked extremely nervous.

"There's one slightly problem." She replied. "Tubby is still here."

"I can..... can get him to go away if you want."

She moved off him and nudged him to get up. "Go on then."

Schiff moved over to Cur who was sitting in a chair in the corner of the room. He whispered something to the man who gave him a dirty look before glancing over at Tabi. He shook his head before he threw down his newspaper and grudgingly left the room.

She licked her lip slowly and leaned back against the couch, crossing her legs slowly as she waited for him to come back to her.

Schiff moved back to where he had been sitting.

She reached over and ran her hand through his slicked hair. "Thank you." She smiled and moved up next to him again. She leaned down slowly and pulled his shirt up with her teeth and unbuttoned his pants with her hands.

She could tell he was shaking. 'What did Joker do to him?' She thought.

"It's ok." She whispered softly as she pulled down his zipper. She slipped off the couch and crawled up between his legs as she pulled his pants down past his hips. She could see a bulge in his underwear, leaning closer she licked over it then lightly sucked on the fabric.

Schiff moaned and swelling as she sucked him through the thin grey material.

She looked up at him slowly as she pulled his underwear down so his cock was freed. She smiled slightly as she gripped it, running her thumb in circles over the head.

"Mmmm...." Schiff moaned and shifted his hips.

He was rather hard already, causing her to blink. "How long has it been?" She asking in curiosity as she stroked her hand over his shaft.

"What..... what do you mean?"

She squinted her eyes and stared up at him. "Since you've had sex."

"I've.... uh.... I mean..... Sleek he...... I've......" He paused a moment. "Never have....."

She blinked a few more times. She'd never actually taken anyone's virginity before...made her wonder what poor soul took Jokers. Then she smiled and gave his shaft a good lick. "That's cute."

Schiff shifted slightly.

She giggled softly and slid him into her mouth. She felt him quiver and stroked his thigh comfortingly as she began to bob her head.

"mmmm that feels good."

She nodded slightly as she deep throated him, groping his sac at the same time.

Schiff almost cried out in shock as she hummed against his cock.

She pulled up quickly and wiped her mouth. "Vocal aren't you?"

He closed his mouth as if he where bitting his lips together to keep quiet. He looked nervous again.

She moved up over his lap, rubbing herself against his cock as she pressed his hands on her breasts. "Calm down. It's ok."

He swallowed audibly before relaxing slightly. He nodded though he still shook slightly.

'Joker really did a number on him.' She thought.

She pressed her hands to both his cheek, kissing him softly. Then she reached down and pulled her skirt up slightly. "Are you ready?"

He shook his head nervously.

Her hand ran through his hair as she kissed him again. reaching down she took a hold of his cock and allowed him to slide into her.

Schiff closed his eyes tightly his mouth open in a mix of shock and pleasure as she slid down on his hard cock.

She breathed out softly as he filled her. He wasn't as big a Joker, which was somewhat of a relief, but was just big enough to fit perfectly inside her.

Kissing him again she rested her hands on his shoulders, moving up and down over him slowly.

Schiff watched her as she rode him almost afraid to touch her.

"Is that good?" She asked as she rested her forehead on his shoulder. She panted softly into his ear as she rode him in a slow motion, being afraid to move any faster with him in such a paranoid state.

Schiff seemed to relax a little more and put his hands on her hips.

Her lips curved into a smile as she wrapped her arms around him. Kissing his neck softly she then let him go and pulled up his shirt. "Let me see you."

Schiff nervously unbuttoned his black dress shirt and pulled it open.

She leaned forward and kissed his chest slowly, sliding her tongue over what muscles he still had. He had lost a lot of mass since she last saw him, probably because of whatever Joker did to him.

Her hands ran over his shoulders slowly as she moved her hips a bit faster over him. As she did a small moan escaped her lips when she felt him hit that one little spot she liked.

Schiff heard her moan and closed his eyes and she clenched around his cock. "Mmmm....." He moaned as he pushed his feet against the floor lifting himself up into her.

She panted softly each time he pushed himself up into her. Her hands rested on his shoulders as she moving her hips faster. "You like that baby?" She whispered.

"Mmmmm yeah...." He moaned as he moved against her.

She moaned sharply as he hit her spot again and leaned forward, pressing herself up against him. "Are you sure your a virgin?" She asked as she banged her hips down.

He paused suddenly getting nervous again at her words. "Um.... yes....."

"Stop that." She purred and kissed him gently. "Your doing a great job." She added as she ran her index finger down his chest.

He shakily put his hands back on her hips and moved against her. "I.... I feel strange..... like..... a good strange." He said not knowing this odd feeling.

She giggled and moved faster as she kissed him again. "Your going to cum." She answered and pushed him back against the couch. "Relax baby."

His breathing picked up as she moved on top of him riding his cock. He closed his eyes as the feeling of pleasure increased in his body and just as he was sure it couldn't get any better his body erupted in pleasure, his whole body tensing as he came deep inside of her.

She twitched as she felt him spill his seed into her. "Iiee.." She said softly and closed one eye as she released another load into her. "Lot's of soldiers." She smirked as she rode him slowly and then eventually stopped.

"Was..... was that supposed to happen?" He asked.

She lifted her eye brows and tilted her head. 'Was that supposed to happen? What are you a church boy?' She thought as she blinked a few times. "That's how babies are made...everyone knows that...have you been living under a rock or what? Men your age aren't nearly that clueless about sex. "

Schiff turned beat red in the face and looked away from her. "My mom always used to beat me when ever she caught me doing anything.... I was to scared to even.... I mean I've never....."

"Oooh." She frowned and brushed a few loose strands of his hair back behind his ear. "I understand you. My dad is an asshole to." She replied as she moved up slowly off him. "Better get dressed before the cavalry returns and we both end up in deep shit."

Schiff put himself back in his pants and zipped them up, returning his clothes to normal.

"Did you.... I mean..... did you....." He paused not knowing how to ask her.

She fixed her skirt and threw her hair back over her shoulder. "Did I what?" She asked calmly as she stretched then adjusted her shirt.

"Did you um..... enjoy it?" He asked embarrassed.

"Ehheh." She stepped to the side and sunk over onto his lap again. "I wouldn't still be here if I hadn't." She said softly and poked the tip of his nose.

"I mean.... did you..... did you feel like I did at the end?"

"Huh? Oh...no..." She replied with a shrug. "Don't feel bad, most men don't make me cum...and since your not experienced." She leaned forward and kissed him softly. "You'll need a lot of practice if you wanna ring my bell." She whispered in a sensual tone and smirked again.

Schiff swallowed audibly.

She giggled and stood up again. "Your so cute..." She winked then threw her hair back again. "You don't have to take that seriously ok? I don't want you pushing yourself if you decide you want me again."

"I.... I do...." He said shaking nervously again.

"Hey...what did I say?" She narrowed her eyes slightly. "Don't be scared of me, I'm not going to hurt you." She lied, she did want to hurt him, make him beg for mercy, make him bleed. Such thoughts frightened her, she could feel her mind slipping away, but she had to hid it or Joker will have won.

Schiff seemed to calm a bit as he sat there watching her.

"That's a good boy." She pressed her index finger to his lips then stood up again and walked into the kitchen. Grabbing a glass she filled it half way with water then leaned against the counter while she drank it.

Schiff followed her into the kitchen and stared at her.

"Hi." She said as she tilted the glass for another side, staring at him over it's rim. "You look lost pretty boy."

"I'm not lost and I'm not a pretty boy." He said. "I'm supposed to be watching you remember?"

"Ahh." She replied in a rather uninterested tone as she finished drinking the water and set the glass down. "Better stay on your toes then, I can be pretty stealthy."

Schiff looked down. He knew Tabi knew full well what Joker would do to him if she escaped but she didn't seem to care.

She sighed in boredom as she lifted herself up and back onto the counter. She sat there with her legs crossed, staring blandly around the kitchen as a long spell of silence ensued.

There was a long silence before it was broken by a shrill shriek of a laugh. Schiff stepped back and shivered slightly. "Oh no..." He said.

"Ow." She cringed and rubbed one of her ears as she leaned backwards slightly. "What the fuck was that?"

Schiff shrunk away. "Harley."

"Oh fuck no." She grumbled and jumped off the counter. "I need a smoke..." She added and went into the living room to search for the cigarettes.

Schiff followed her but shrunk back when he saw Harley sitting on the couch.... right next to Tabi's smokes.

She narrowed her eyes as she silent walked around the couch and swiped up the smoked form the table and continued on her way.

Harley got up and grabbed her by the wrist. "Hey gal.... About last time.... no hard feelings eh?"

She pulled her hand away and lit the cigarette then blew the smoke out into her face. "Yeh sure whatever." She brushed past her and moved back over to Schiff.

Harley pursed her lips and put her hands on her hips glarring at Tabi's back as she walked away.

She leaned onto her hip and smoked the cigarette profusely.

Joker walked into the room slipping on his long purple and red jacket. He pulled something out of his pocket, looked at it a moment before replacing it in his pocket again.

She looked over her should at him, tilting her head slightly. The cigarette was then lowered to the nearest ash tray and squashed until it was extinguished. Then she stood straight again and turned around, not expecting him to pay her any mind.

Harley ran up to Joker calling "Puddin." As she moved to hug him. He put his hand firmly on her chest and pushed her away heading towards Tabi.

"Tabi.... I have a little.... present......... for you." He said smirking.

She had just turned her head away in disgust when the blonde 'tramp', as she thought of her, ran forward to hug him. She turned her head back when the girl stumbled backwards and Joker started approaching her rather threateningly.

She began backing away from him in fear of what the present might end up being. Her back hit the wall a few seconds later. She squashed herself against it as she watched him continue advancing towards her.

"Oh come now Tabi..." He said sounding disappointed. "Why so scared all of a sudden?" He said laughing.

She didn't answer him for the only things she wanted to say to him were to go fuck himself and that...would only get her into more trouble. "W-what do you want?" She mumbled in a low voice and glanced at Schiff as she slowly started to sink down the wall. He wasn't doing anything particularity interesting.

Schiff moved as if to help her but a glance from Joker made him pause.

"Smart man." He said before turning back to Tabi. "All I want.... is for you to.... accept my gift. I know you'll be wanting it."

"That depends on what this 'gift' is going to be." She replied as she sat against the floor, still pressed against the wall and staring up at him.

"You'll love it." He said grabbing her by the back of her neck pulling her up. He pushed her forward leading her to the door to the hallway.

Schiff moved forward to stop Joker tackling him to the ground. Joker pushed him off of him and pulled out his gun. He shot Schiff and grabbed back onto Tabi dragging her out of the room.

Her body gave a jolt when she heard to gun shot. Schiff. He tried to stop him. And now he lay limp on the floor. His image burned into her eyes as she was drug down the hall again. She didn't fight him, but merely held onto him as she stumbled along. Her throat felt tight and the world was silent around her. He pushed her into the bathroom next and she lost her footing again, this time she hit the clod tile and weakly crawled away from him. Everything was blurry and the room felt as if it was spinning.

He put his hand into his pocket. "So.... you want your present? Cause I know you're just dying to know."

She trembled and pushed herself into a corner, her throat still tight and the world still spinning. Then she shook her head slowly and pulled her knees to her chest.

Joker shook his head. "You're so ungrateful you know that. Maybe I shouldn't even give it to you." He said pulling a white box out of his pocket.

She let out a whimper as the tears started to fall from her eyes. She gripped her legs tighter, to scared to face him. "Your....a son of a bitch..." She mumbled as she felt a sudden wave of rage flow through her.

He dangled the box in front of her with his thumb and forefinger. "Now now.... No need to bring mother into this." He said. "She couldn't help it if she had whore herself out to survive." He said laughing.

She glared at him then at the box, becoming rather offended when she realized what it was. Quickly the box was slapped from his hand and his vest gripped tightly. "So is that how you were conceived? Gave your daddy a ride in the back of his truck for a wrinkled fifty?"

Joker licked his lips looking highly annoyed but didn't fight her grasp. "Actually.... It was an alley way..... and a wrinkled twenty." He said.

"Oh well I guess we have something in common." She released his vest by shoving him backwards, still angry but not enough to even try to beat him up, much less in such a small space. She sat herself on the edge of the tub and crossed her arms over her chest tightly.

Joker ran his tongue over his front teeth. "Well?"

She pressed her tongue to one of her canine teeth as she glanced at him. She knew what that test would tell her, and it was a grim answer at best. "Up yours." She replied as she gave him the finger.

"You'd like that...." He said laughing. "You're not leaving this room until you take the damn test." He said slamming the door behind him locking her in.

She jumped up from the tub and gave the door a hard kick in frustration. Then she sat down for many more minutes then a few hours. Sighing she rubbed her forehead as she sat upon the counter, the box and small meter next to her.

It was the longest five minutes of her life. Picking the meter up she stared at it sadly. "Blue..." She mumbled. "Fucking blue..." She threw the test and box into the trash can, covering it with toilet paper.

She stood up and looked around quickly. 'Window.' That voice chimed yet sounded so bored at the same time. She moved to it and pulled it, it made a loud creak but didn't move. "C'mon..." She grumbled as she pushed on it again, finally it burst open, leading out onto a fire escape.

Pulling herself up she looked to the door quickly to make sure no one had heard. Climbing out into the cold, she shut the window behind her, and descended the stairs quietly. They lead to a rusty old ladder the ended half way down to the side walk.

She crawled onto it clumsily and descended down, jumping off once she hit the last step. She landed on her feet, her knee's buckling slightly then sprinted away from the building.
