(Heath Ledger) Joker x Reader

Chapter 16: Madness is Like Gravity

It was a dark, chilly evening. The air was crisp and everyone was frantic. The people of Gotham are preparing to leave the city. The Joker and (Y/N) were finally fulfilling their last plan. People were by the bridge waiting to get onto a boat. Two boats were already set out, but they didn't realize that being on the boat would've been their biggest mistake. The Joker is on the top floor of a building overlooking that overlooks the water and the boats. He told (Y/N) that he had to do this part all by himself. Still, she waited for him from afar on a different building. The Joker had the hostages tied up dressed as his men wearing clown masks and had guns taped to their hands. The actual goons however are dressed up as doctors pretending as if they are the hostages. The intercom on both of the boats made a noise as if someone was about to make an announcement. Everyone listened to what they were expecting to be the captain, but instead, they got the terrifying voice of the Joker. "Tonight you all will be part of an experiment. Anybody attempts to get off their boat, you die. Each of you has a remote. If by midnight, none of the boats have blown up, then I'll blow them both up. If however, one of you blows up the other boat, I'll let that boat live. So. Who's it going to be? Harvey Dent's most wanted scum bag collection, or the sweet innocent civilians. You choose. Oh, and you might want to choose soon, because the other people on the other boat may not be quite so noble." The intercom shuts off indicating that the Joker was done and it was now time for both boats to be frantic and make their decision. This whole thing was just to prove a point that the Joker had made earlier. During the interrogation, the Joker did tell Batman, "these civilized people will eat each other." The people on each boat were taking their time. No one knew what to do. Secretly everyone wanted to blow up the other ship to survive, but then they knew that they would have to live with the guilt of killing many others. A man on the boat of the innocents had decided that he had had enough. He decided that the people on the other boat were scumbags who already had their chance at living. He was done sitting and waiting to be blown up. While a criminal on the other boat took the remote and threw it out of the window. He stated that he had done what everyone else should have done a long time ago. It was getting closer to midnight by the second. (Y/N) was waiting on the rooftop far away from where the Joker was. She wasn't too far where she couldn't see the shape of the Joker, but she was far enough that she could not make out any of his facial features. She was observing and cleaning her sword. She knew this was going to be an important mission, so she brought her sword along in case a disaster comes. Speaking of disaster, Batman came out of hiding and started to go after the Joker. (Y/N) had noticed something moving in the shadows, and she had a good idea of who it was. Batman had a swat team that would be sent in not long after he went into the building. (Y/N) started to run towards the building that the Joker was in. Batman started to take out the 'goons' only then to realize that the doctors were goons and that the goons were the innocents. Batman informed the Swat team of this before they came in and accidentally shot the innocents. Batman continued to fight the real goons causing quite a bit of ruckus. The Joker heard the commotion below him and sent the dogs after Batman. Batman managed to get rid of the dogs and started to fight the Joker. The Joker managed to get the upper hand and pin Batman to the ground with a metal bar. "We really should stop this fighting otherwise we will miss the fireworks." "There won't be any fireworks!" "And here we go." The man on the boat of the innocent has the remote in his clammy hand. His hand is on the key and he is ready to twist it and take the many lives of the criminals. Before he could even twist the key, his conscious got to him. Instead, he took his hand off of the remote, but the remote back in the box, and sat back down in his seat without saying another word. The Joker looked at the time and noticed it was 12:01 am. "What were you trying to prove, that deep down everyone is exactly as you?" Batman questions the Joker. He was mad and threw his pipe away and started to mess with the detonator in his hands. "You can't rely on anyone these days. You have to do everything yourself. Don't leave." (Y/N) was a few feet away from the building. "It's okay. I came prepared. It's a funny world we live in. Speaking of which, you know how I got these scars?" "No. But I know how you got there." Batman shot some bat stars at the Joker and threw him over the edge of the building. (Y/N) stopped in her tracks. You saw the Joker falling to his death. "NO!!!!" Then she saw that a grappling hook caught his leg and that he was being brought back up. Quickly (Y/N) went into the building pulling her sword out ready to fight anyone who was in her way. Back at the top of the building. Batman is holding his side in pain, while the Joker is hanging upside down from the edge of the building. The Joker grunts as he is being pulled up, but still manages to smirk. "You. You just couldn't let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible, aren't you? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won't kill you, because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever." "You'll be in a padded cell forever." "Maybe we can share one. You know they'll be doubling up these cities inhabitants that are losing their minds." "This city is to show you that it's full of people ready to believe in good." "Until their spirit breaks completely. Until they get a look at the real Harvey Dent. and all of the heroic things he's done." Batman looks at him confused. The Joker just smirks while still hanging off the building. "You didn't think I'd risk losing the battle of Gotham's soul in a fistfight with you? No. You need an Ace in the hole. Mine's Harvey." "What did you do?" "I took Gotham's white knight and brought him down to our level. It wasn't hard. Madness as you know is like gravity, all it takes is a little push!" The Joker makes a pushing motion with his hands and starts laughing hysterically. What Batman and the Joker both didn't realize was that (Y/N) was on her way up. She was taking the Swat team down one by one with stealth. Usually, once one officer would notice, their hands would already be chopped off. Batman starts to leave. Gunshots can now be heard. (Y/N) dodges all of the gunshots and slices her victims. She goes through them one by one until she finally reaches the top floor. She just missed the Bat, but she doesn't care right. More swat members are just behind her. The caught up to her before she could even see the Joker. She knew he was still hanging there so she did what she could as fast as she could. She put her sword back in its sheath that's tied to her body so she doesn't lose it. She grabs her grappling hook and a knife. She cuts the grappling hook that's holding the Joker and dashes off of the side of the building towards the Joker. They are both free-falling now. (Y/N) gets a hold of the Joker. "HOLD ON!" she shouts over the wind. She shoots the grappling hook on the fourth floor and manages to stop their fall. They're both panting and climb in through the fourth floor and make their way down. Running towards a car that's hidden a couple of streets away they both get in. They look at each other and start bursting out laughing. "Jeez Doll. Was not expecting that from you at all." (Y/N) stops laughing and stop smiling altogether. "Doll?" The Joker questions. (Y/N) looks up at the Joker. She grabs his face and pulls him into a passionate kiss. The Joker was taken aback, but relaxed and kissed back. "Don't do that again J. I never talk about my feelings, but seeing you fall like that scared the absolute hell out of me." The Joker just looked at her. He almost had sad eyes. The Joker put his hand on her face to get her to look at him. "You can't get rid of me that easily Doll." The Joker stated with a smile. (Y/N) smiled back. "Come on. Let's go home."The Joker and (Y/N) arrive at the warehouse and go to their room. The Joker kisses (Y/N) as soon as they enter the room. His makeup was smeared across her lips. "You know Doll, the color red looks good on you." (Y/N) just smirked and replied. "I wonder what else looks good on me." The Joker growled and kissed her passionately. The Joker and (Y/N) made love again that night. They never admitted their feelings or said the words "I love you," but they know that they do. Neither of them wants to be with anyone else. They were happy together. The Joker and (Y/N) decided to continue their life together and create chaos but decided to lay low for a while. In the end, two people who have experienced hell and back were able to find freedom, peace, happiness, and most of all love. The end.
