Joker's new queen

8. The friend

Jokers pov:
  We busted in and I saw her strapped on the table being electrocuted. I aimed my gun and shot the doctor "scour the place and make sure no one makes it out of here alive" I said to my men as I walk over and unstrap her from the table and pick her up bridal style. I growl at the fact she's unconscious and I head out to my car laying her in the back, I speed to my place letting my henchman take care of the prison. I lay her on a bed and walk to the door looking at one of my men "let me know when she's awake" I said and he nodded as I walked out of the room

Andromeda's P.O.V. :

Groaning awake with a splitting headache, I open my eyes to see that I'm in an unfamiliar room. As much as it was a breath of fresh air and the actual bed that comforted me, I know I had to get out of here. Quietly getting up, I headed for the only door in the room to attempt an escape.

In the midst of reaching for the door knob, it turns on it's own and then opens. I quietly push my back flat against the wall awaiting the perfect moment to strick as a pair of men walk in. "What the hell.. where'd she go?" One of the men said with what I thought was slight fear. Before they could turn around, I jumped on the back of one twisting his head in one quick motion until I heard his neck snap. Then letting go of him as he fell I dodged the other man trying to grab me ending up behind him and knocking him out with a swing of my elbow. Bolting for the door without a second thought as I didn't want to be anywhere close if other men came to their aid. I slow down to a walk before pushing up against another wall as the hall I was in opened to what looked like a rather fancy bar and strip. After making sure the close is clear I step out into the huge room.

Joker's P.O.V. :

Hearing a commotion down the hall from my office, I couldn't help but grin. "Looks like the little dragons awoken." I muse as I stand up from behind my desk and quietly walk out my room and down the hall.

As I expected my new little friend was trying to make an escape. I decided to watch her carefully as she shrunk against the wall as she oh so deligently scanned my strip bar for anyone that would pose to be a problem. Lightly letting out a relieved sigh she quietly stalked into the bar, which I couldn't let her get away that easily. Pulling out my gun quickly aiming it at her head and cocking it to gain her attention I tilted my head back and laughed.

Andromeda P.O.V. :

Just as I was beginning to think I was home bound. I hear a shuffle and a click behind me, freezing me in my tracks. I slowly turn around wide eyed as a spine chilling laugh welcomes me. Quickly I collecting my composure before he sets his eyes back on me after he's down laughing. "It's rude for a guest to sneak out. Not to mention kill a man, little dragon." Keeping a bored blank look, I start to play his game of insanity. Not that I wasn't already feeling like I was on the brink of it. "Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not the average guest, darling." Earning a smirk as a group of his men appear out of no where. Dropping his gun and stalking around me as if I was prey. Coming to the conclusion that he wasn't going to tell me anything I'd like to know, I started mumbling under my breathe as I stalked over to his bar grabbing a bottle of whiskey. "Hope you don't mind me stealing this as I am in need of a fix.. that and I don't think I'll be walking free yet again." Seeing an amused raised eyebrow look spread across this mystery man.

I had walked back around to the front of the bar to lean back into it as non chalantly as I could as everyone in this room was studying my every move. He had lounged himself on one of the many seats, in the middle of the room where a dance stage was, facing me so he could keep his eyes on me as well. Getting tired of everyone studying me as I drunk the whiskey and studied them, I broke the silence. "May I ask who I'm gracing with my presence?  As well as why exactly am I here?" He leaned forward with a large grin stemming from ear to ear. "I was beginning to think you never ask. You see you are gracing the jack of all trades, the joker himself." I clenched my jaw tight and widened my eyes a bit as I look back on a particular file I was entrusted to as no one could pin the man down. I return his smile with a small one. "Ah. I remember being handed your file in my second year working for the government before they saw myself as a threat." He simply raised a brow, so I continued. "I'm particularly scarily good at what I do, especially at my age. You see I can be given just a name or face find out anything that they want hidden or even kill a man leaving behind no trace of a clue to have a lead on who to look for."

Leaving him to mull that over in his mind I took another big swig of whiskey, desprately trying to rid or numb the pain in my head. "What exactly did you do wrong then to end up caged up and tortured, Miss. Blake?" He new he hit a nerve just then. I had to admit he was just as good as I was at this as I was, maybe better. Growling lowly I ask, "how do you know my last name?" Again he didn't reply only lounged back in his seat and smirked, completely pleased at himself. Taking another swig and sighing before continuing again, "I was framed for a murder of one of the other agents I worked with. Simply for the fact they couldn't trace it to anyone. So I was thrown away into the prison to rot to death, with the added bonus of any trouble I seemed to have caused they'd strap my down and electricute my brains out. This went on for 8 years of set up torture by the man that was assigned to check on me. Who I came to find out shortly after being there two months, that it was the same man that murdered the agent."
