Gotham's Little Princess (A Harley Quinn & Jared Leto Joker fanfic)

Where Are We

A/N
I know this update is late, forgive me lovelies. I'm throwing out 4 updates this weekend. So let's get into it. 💕🫶🏽

~~Joker's POV~~

"Scarecrow had his men hit two of your nightclubs. Banged up some employees pretty bad and kidnapped most of the strippers there," Frost spoke across the conference table. "I informed every employee to stay armed and take out whoever was a threat."
I shot up from my seat pacing back and forth. It took a lot not the blow off some steam and put a bullet in someone's head; but I needed everyone on board.
My phone rung seeing it was Harley again. I growled in frustration finally answering her. She was such a cringy thing.
"What is it Harley?"
"Puddin I'm worried. Lucy shoulda'  been home. It's almost 9:00, somebody shouda' fixed that tire by now."
I looked at my watch not realizing how the time flew by. I looked at my phone knowing I should've gotten some kind of notification from my men. I frowned coming across nothing. I checked Eli's location noticing they were still there. "I'll call you back," I said hanging up on her mid-sentence. I called Eli..nothing. I called Lucy and got the same result. Something was wrong..something was terribly wrong.
"Frost, did Mark and Carlos go and assist Eli?" I asked hoping to get a valid answer from him.
Frost looked at his phone. "I told them Eli's location at approximately 5:58pm. They said they were on the way but never told me if they retrieved them sir."
"Well what is their fucking location?!" I yelled slamming my fists against the table.
Frost looked on his phone again and his eyes grew big. "Sir," he said turning his phone around so I can confirm what he was seeing. "The location is in a wooded area not too far from Eli company truck."
Alarm bells rang loudly in my ears. My breathing became erratic. Did he get my baby girl?
"Bring the car around now!!"

~~Eli's POV~~

The throbbing pain in my head hit before my vision clearly adjusted. I slowly lifted my tied up body from the cold concrete floor propping my back against the wall. My eyes flew wide open realizing that I was on the job..where's Jae? I looked over to the right of me finding Jae knocked out cold.
I scooted my body over to where she was. I brushed my leg against her cheek. "Jae, Jae?" I whispered. She moaned in pain stirring around the best way she could. When her eyes finally opened, she looked terrified.
"Where..where are we?" She asked dazed trying to sit up.
"I don't know, Jae," I said defeated.
She finally leaned against the wall processing her surroundings.
"Are you hurt," I asked hoping she didn't feel like me.
"The back of my head is throbbing. When they hit you, they got me. I tried to warn you. This is all my fault," she said letting her tears fall down her cheeks.
"Ain't no need in blaming yourself. I have a feeling who's behind this. We had a meeting about some dude name Scarecrow. They say he been on some shady shit in West Gotham."
"How are we going to get outta here?" She asked in a panic.
"I'll figure it out but you gotta stay calm. Staying calm is a part of survival. We can't crack under pressure," I said moving closer to her to keep her calm.
She nodded her head wanting to believe in my words.
"You think Uncle J and Auntie Harley realized we're missing by now?" She whispered.
"Oh they know by now! They'll figure out where we are. We just gotta keep it together."
The rusty door flung open at my words and I wasn't surprised when I saw exactly who they talked about in that meeting in my view.
Scarecrow walked through the doors with two of his men. I looked at them with not an ounce of fear in me, but in the inside I was terrified they'd do some damage to Jae.
"Joker hid her well. Who knew someone as fucked up as the joker would have a kid?"
"I'm not his kid. I'm his niece," she corrected with no fear.
"Did you know that the eyes tell a story? Your eyes will always tell you what others been keeping from you."
"What are you"—
"Yeah she's Joker's, but what's in it for you?" I interrupted her putting the heat on me. Jae looked at me but she didn't bother to say anything else. We didn't have time for the mind games he was about to play.
Scarecrow stood up standing in front of the both of us. "A lot is in it for me. Now I could've killed you. You're no importance to me, but there's things you know."
He snapped his finger and the two guys that was with him grabbed Jae.
"NO..NO..I'll tell you anything. Just don't touch her, please!"
Scarecrow nodded with them slamming her back in her spot. They came grabbing me up. I didn't care. They wasn't taking her and that all that mattered. They didn't realize I was wearing a tracker. Boss thought we needed extra tracking beside our phones. I just threw mine in my pocket never taking it out. They were getting activated by our technicians by the end of the week. I had a feeling it would be sooner now that we were missing. I had to keep it hidden until then.
"No, please don't do this," she cried out to them.
"I'll keep you company, he'll be fine as long as he cooperates," Scarecrow said with a chuckle.
Wait, my heart began to beat out my fucking chest. I wasn't gunna leave her in here with him. I tired to fight them off which only brought more men in. How did I let this shit happen? He's going to do the unforgivable to her! He's going to ruin her!

The door shut behind her screams. I couldn't protect her. I couldn't save her.
